disinclined to expect a political land
slide In the congressional elections to
he held throughout the country next
Tuesday. The consensus of opinion is
that the next house will be Democratic.
No political wiseacre has yet had the
temerity to prophesy a Republican
house. Even the most hidebound of the
Republican' proohets acknowledges that
the party will suffer severe losses In
some sections. At the same time they
Insist the defection will be Insufficient
to bring about the change of 24 con
gressional districts which will be the
1 umber necessary to change the polltl-

sentatives of the sixfy-second congress.
On the other hand, the Democratic.
• ongre3sional campaign committee is
not promising anything extraordinary
In the way of a national conversion to
the tenets of the Democracy. The offl-
rlal estimate of the Democratic com
mittee promises as a rcrtalnty 208 Dem-
" raN in the next house. Tills will be
a gain of 40 seats and would show a
Democratic majority of 25. The out
ride |imlt of the Democratic advance
claim is 35.
Politicians at the capital and Wash
ington newspaper correspondents who
have been Intimately associated with
the. campaign agree that the Demo
cratic gains will be made In the East.
None of these prophets is willing to
. accord to tho Itemocrats a chance for

Judge Bell Grants Injunction
Against Interference—Bar
ney Talks of Jack Johnson.
“Speed King” Barney Oldfield will
drive In the Speedway races. The
dare-devil driver waa Wednesday morn
ing granted by Judge George L. Bell,
of the superior court, an order restrain
ing the American Automobile associa
tion. the Atlanta Automobile associa
tion and the officers and agents of both
organizations from Interfering with
Oldfield during the races at the Speed
way tills week.
In addition to this petition for an
Injunction, suit for damages for 120,000
against the American Automobile as
sociation and for 15.000 against tho At
lanta Automobile association has been
filed. Judge Bell will give a hearing In
the Injunction case Wednesday after
noon at 4 o’clock. In caso of a decision
adverse to Oldfield, he will not be per
mitted to take part In the local races
But the matter of damages will come
up at a later time.
The petition was filed by Slaton &
Phillips, attorneys for Oldfleld, and
marks the driver's second victory over
the A. A. A. since he was suspended
and disqualified three weeks ago. At
Boston during the races two weeks ago
Oldfield Ignored the suspension and
drove his "Blltzen" Bens a record mile
with the president of the A. A. A. In
the Judges" stand. .
Judge Bell's decision was based on
the allegation that Oldfleld was sus
pended without being given a hearing
by the contest board or the three As.
Oldfleld said: , , „
■ -I was arbitrarily and unjustly sus
pended. The contest board of the A.
A. A. Issued a driver's license to Jack
Johnson. This was dona after the fight
er had been challenging all automobile
drivers to race him, and Anally an
nounced that he was In the automobile
racing gome to stay and would buy the
fastest cars he could get In Europe. I
realized what effect It would have on
my profession If Johnson would defeat
a less experienced driver with a smaller
car. So when Johnson Issued a broad
side directed at me and d«red
race him. I could do nothing but agree
to tho race and do my beR tjJJ* bjjn
so badly as to forever eliminate him
from my profession.
“I think I did this thoroughly and he
will never bother any w|ilte driver
again. The thing that got the racing
bug In his head was when he read ar
ticles by sporting writer* who^had been
on Joy rides with him. When he read
thjU he had more nerve than Barney
Oldfleld It got him a swelled head, but
he Is all over It now. t am g ad of t
chance to compete here and will do all I
ran to bring to Atlanta the American
speedway record, which I now hold on
the Indianapolis track. I will be out
for practice this afternoon."
Dean, of/Jackson’s Court, Has
Choice of Paying or
Year on Gang.
John W. Dean, a constable In the
court of Justice Jackson, was sentenced
to pay a fine of 1600 or servo twelve
months on tho chain gang, on a charge
of extortion. In the criminal court of
Atlanta Wednesday.
Mrs. W. G. Overby, of 107 Piedmont'
ave., brought the charge. Mrs. Overby
stated that a short time ago a laborer's
Hen In favor of a negro woman who
had been cooking for her was Issued
from the office of Justice Jackson and
that a Judgment for 63 cents was ren
dered against her at a hearing of the
case.
At this time, she claims, she offered
bond, signed by Elbert Nichols, her
grocer, but that It waa turned down.
By some chance, however, the bond was
left In the office of the Justice. A sub'
sequent order was Issued calling oi
Nichols for the amount of the Judg'
ment.
In the meantime, however. Coftetable
Dean, with C. W. Hopkins, another of
ficer of this court, went to the Overby
home for the purpose, It Is sold, of
levying on certain household articles.
Thejf told Mrs. Overby, according to
her statement, that If she would pay
13.80 the execution conld be stayed.
This she did. She later received $1.17
back, the remainder being held to cover
the amount of tho Judgment and the
court cost.
Dean argued that the case grew out
of personal spltn and that he did not
have the business In hand, merely go
ing along with Hopkins. It was brought
out In the hearing, however, that he
received the money from Mrs. Overby
whllo Hopkins wa* writing out the re
ceipt.
Dean will appeal the case to a higher
court. He was released under a $1,000
bond. In a state of excitement he
warned the two reporters *present that
he would bring suit against the press
If he were made to appear In a false
light.
The remains of Al Livingstone, one
of the great auto drivers of America,
lie In Patterson's undertaking apart
ments Wednesday morning, awaiting
funeral arrangements. The end of the
career of this noted driver came Tues
day afternoon, when, Pcfero the eyes
of his sister, Miss Mabel Livingstone,
and his wife, he was hurled Into the
air from his National rnclng car and
dashed to the track on tho Atlanta
Speedway, where he was picked up by
his teammates, his head crushed and
In an unconscious state, death result
ing several hours later.
A spirit of friendly rivalry between
Livingstone and his teammates had
existed ever since their arrival at the
Speedway after the noon meal Tues
day, and It wan largely due to this ri
valry that the "Dirt Track King." a
name which Livingstone had won for
his daring feats on road courses and
speedways, attempted to better the
best time made during the afternoon's
practice.
Wife and Sister Watched.
Mrs. Al Livingstone ami Miss Mabel
Livingstone, wife and sister of ' the
driver, had come out to the Speedway
to watch Livingstone practice, and
their presence In tho grandstand kept
the enthusiasm to best the time trials
burning In the drivers nrcast. Miss
Livingstone had not seen her brother
for four long years, and had come with
her mother and father from Boston,
Mass., to watch this fearless driver win
fresh laurels. Tho little family reun
ion had hcon a happy ono and It only
jacked the victories of this week, to
which Al Livingstone aspired, to crown
It with additional Joy.
In Frisndly Rivalry.
When the time of the practice spins
was announced, Livingstone felt the
keen cut of friendly derision from other
drivers when It was learned that How
ard Wilcox, another member of the
National team, who had been driving a
faster car than Livingstone, had made
better tlmo than "The King." Again
they whirred around and around tho
dirt saucer: again Wilcox bested him
and again his friends Jeered him. Aft
er this had been repeated several
times, It grated upon tho nerves of
Livingstone. Ho couldn't stand to be
beaten by one ef hie own team, even
tho he only had a 40-horsepower etock
car to drive. There woe nothing at
atako for his losing tltcse practice
spina to another, save his pride aa a
speedy driver and tho desire to let his
wife and sister see him win against
great odds.
Tho afternoon was growing late, Joe
Cothran, engineer In charge of tho
Speedway, was watting with a force of
hands for the track to be cleared 10
that some work might be done at the
north turn. Secretary Nye had ordered
all cars off. Tho cars had stopped
speeding, but Al Livingstone anxious
for one more trial, feeling that all
scores of the afternoon would be wiped
out If he only had the chance, and with
the pride of hta former records urging
him not to be bested even In practice,
asked for another trial. A. C. Newby,
who Is in charge of the National cars,
entered In this meet, asked BUI Nye to
let Livingstone try once more, and in

Washington, Nov. 2.—Another early
revolution is probable in Honduras. The
United States gunboat Princeton is to
day rushing up the coast of Central
America, the objective port being Am-
a pula, the Pacific port of Honduras,
where General Jose Maria Valladeres
has deposed the governor of the port
and !■ in control.
Several weeks ago General Vallade
res surrendered the office of^ governor
of Amapala,.which is an Island off the
Honduran coast. His cruel treatment
of foreigners prompted tho United
States to send the gunboat Princeton
to the port When It arrived, the gov
ernor surrendered hla post and Jqjir-
neyed to the capital of Honduras to
consult President Davllla.
Quiet was seemingly restored and tho
gunboat Princeton left for Panama
City.
In International law General Valle-
deres is nothing more than a pirate.
The American interests on the Island
is meager, but thoso of England and
especially Germany, are extensive. It

"The poultry exhibit is the finest that

Out at the Speedway Wednesday the
preparations for the meet which opens
Thursday are going forward as merri
ly as tho there had never been a fa
tality at the track.
“It Is all in a lifetime,** is the com
ment of the other drivers over the
death of Al Livingstone. “If you keep
at it long enough it will get you. Coma
on. let's beat It around.” And »o they
hAve put the sorrow and the gloom
behind them and are practicing madly
for the races which begin Thursday.
As far as could be told, there was
not a man who went a second slower
to the mile as a result of Tuesday's
tragedy. The older drivers have been
thru the Vanderbilt and the Indianap
olis meets, and they had seen death
before.
Shortly after day broke Wednesday
the track force removed the wrecked
automobile, all signs of the tragedy
were erased and at 9 o'clock, when the
track waa again opened for practice,
automobiles swarmed on and the speed
doings were In evidence again.
At 11 o’clock Thursday morntng tha
first day of racing will begin. And
from that time forward, for more than
five hours, the track will be alive with
flying motor oars, and there will be
•peed doings of a kind never seen in
Atlanta before.
Every car of the 49 entered has
reached Atlanta and been put on the
track. Almost every one of the 49 will
start. Of course, one machine Is
wrecked and the American Automobile
association may try to prevent two oth
ers from racing, but in any event there
will be 46 or more machines-competing
on the Atlanta track Thursday.
Every man who Is to take part In the
races in any rapacity has reached At
lanta and reported at Atlanta Auto
mobile association headquarters.
Ty Cobb in Town*
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, of Royvton*
Ga., and the American league, and Gw
Napoleon Rucker, of Alpharetta and the
National league, who will drive a match
race each day, arrived Tuesday.
Tuesday night Manager J. M. Nye,
of the local Speedway, entertained tho
two notable baseball player-automo-
bllists at a little supper at the M. and
M. club. And Wednesday morning
early both beat It to the track and
began trying out the course. It la like
ly that both will drive Abbott-Detroit
cars. It is planned to give them ma
chines of the same make so that the
Issue may be a question of drivers and
not of cars.
The two distinguished Georgians will
compete In ten mile heats* one each
day.
The races Thursday will start exact-
at 11 o'clock, when the machines,
big and little, will get away in the time
trials. With the time trials out of the
way, the regular races will begin and in
quick succession will come;

Oglethorpe Fair Begins.
Lexington, Ga., Nov. 2.—The Ogle
thorpe, county fair opened Tuesday at
I.exlngton with a large and enthusiastic
crowd in attendance. The exhibits this
year compare favorably with those of
other fairs and the Indications are that
the fair will be a complete success.
Here’s a story I read and con
sider worth repeating: “Oat in
Minnesota there was a young
man employed at a low salary as
a railroad ticket agent at a
small place. One day he read in
a newspaper an advertisement of
watches that were being offered
by a tirm in Illinois. He sent an
order for one, and when he got
it, he considered it an excep
tionally good article for the
money.
“It set him TIIINK1N(<» He
conceived the idea that if tha
people in Illinois could sell him
a watch in Minnesota, bv AD,
VERTISrXG, he could sell other
folks watches if HE adverfised.
So lie bought a quantity of
watches at wholesale and AD
VERTISED them in newspaper*
in his section of the country.
“He soon did such a large busi
ness that he could afford to r*.
sign his job as atatinn agent.
