THE HUNTER OF BIG GAME,
saw that /aw far down ths Pliocene
Against a sky unblottsd by the years.
Ths cliffs have crumbled to the glacier
What aeae have I not croased, what cycles
trod
To win forgetfulness of the fear of thsel
Caverns where I caught breath are
’neath the sea,
And mountains have gone deesrt-ward to
God.
In giant fema I heard thy foot and fled
Or, turning, stained my tusk with thy
wild gore
Thy bones are lying on the long sand
shore
And still I feel thy hunger round my bed.
And oft thy shadow darkens o’er the
atones.
Seeking my whits teeth for the neck of
har.
Sleeping I sas thss come In my own fur
Thru flowers of obliterated zones.
A thousand cube have purred about my
breast
And gone thstr way. And some have 1
heard cry
Once and no more beneath the desert
sky.
And still I hear thee rustling round my
rest..
Soon will thy wild men come and bgat ths
linquish a safeguard of their
prized because long fought for
suffrage laws.
The Federal" government will
never likely disturb these laws,
but the South wants to make
sure and wants this surety in
corporated in the fundamental
law of the laud. . This is the price
that it sets on its approval of the
direct elections bill.
Accordingly the house has re
fused to concur in the Bristow
amendment, and it has been sent
back for the senate to ruminate
over.
The Bristow amendment has
ajready proved a stumbling
blbck in the way of the resolu
tion’s final passage by congress.i
It will prove an even greater
stumbling block in the way of
the amendment’s ratification by I
the necessary number of states. I
The legislatures of the Southern
states would neveT give it their
approval.
The Coronation
A-Film.
Really everything nowadays
happens for the benefit of pa
trons of the moving picture thea
ters, or rather they get the best
view of it when it does happen.
The great pageantry of the
coronation was no exception.
Thousands and thousands of
'the wealthiest people from all
over the world paid out fabulous
sums for seats at the coronation,
to catch only a glimpse of the
royal coach as it arrived or of
the royal pair as they entered
the abbey.
But the moving picture pa
trons, unhurried, unharried, and
for the sum of five Cents, will sec
all the glorious spectacle unroll
before them in such free and un
obstructed view that it will
seem indeed to have been, staged
for their benefit alone.
And the spectators of the coro
nation a-film,'in addition to wit
nessing the sight quietly and
cheaply, will have no occasion to
give themselves over to heart
aches because some one else has
a better place of view than they,'
because Rome one else has been
given precedence over them, or
because their costumes are not
as gorgeous as those of persons
occupying places not nearly so
good. '

Senator Bristow Sets
A Stumbling Block.
The house resolution provid
ing for the direct election of
senators was proceeding merrily
on its way to success when Sena
tor Bristow set a. stumbling
block for it. MMH|I
Reuntor Sutherland, at the last
session of congress, had success
fully played the same * little
trick, npd Senfftor Bristow
deejned it timely that he do
likewise 9ml gain, like renown.
Accordingly ho offered 1
amendment providing that the
United States government should
retain the control of the time,
place and mariner of holding the
election, the meaning of which is
that thn government will • have
the power of prescribing such
suffrage requirements for tho
elections as. it deems fit.
The federal government would
thus be able when it so chose to
nullify the suffrage laws of the
Southern states—laws which
these states have enacted from
causes arising out of the truest
meaning of the words self-de
fense and sejf-protectiou.
It should be stated, ho\vi*cr,
that congress already has this
power over the election of repre
sentatives, hut has neVfr. used, it
since the days "of the military
rule in the Southern states fol-
lowyip the close of the Civil war.
The Force bill was an attempt to
put it in operation, but it never
succeeded eveu then, and will
never likely succeed nt any time.
The nation has passed .a cen
tury and a quarter of its exist
ence with the states in complete
control of the elections both of
their senators and representa
tives. The house resolution,
without the Bristow amendment,
merely writing this long prac
tice in the constitution. It can
certainly, therefore, do the na
tion no barm.
The Southern states are asked
give their approvul of the di
rect eleqDon of senators. This
they do gladly apd freely, but
it is too much to ask of them
that at the same time they ap-
~ve it in such a form as "to re
joy the show and the wealthy
spectators of the real event will
become-actors for them, and the
display of the actors will form
no small part of the brilliant
scenery and stage setting, and
their rivalry will furnish no smnll
part of the compdy and tragedy,
Nor is there to be much'de
lay between the event and its
film presentation. In Paris and
London moving pictures of the
coronation in the morning were
shown that night.
Each camera operator had a
messenger beside him, and as soon
as the reel was filled with expo
sures it was hurried off to the
studios to b« developed and sent
at once- by the swiftest' mail
steamers to America, and other
countries.
The moving _ picture says of
the otherwise inaccessible beau
ties of art and nature and of hap-
penings nnd occasions of inter
est everywhere, “Theso arc for
the enjoyment of all tho people,
too, and not merely for the for
tunate few. I will see that they
get it, for I am the greatest dem
ocrat that ever existed since time
began.’
"Broadway lights shine for Presi
dent Taft." These lights, however,
take a shine to every visitor.
The second I.orlmer probe hes be
gun. It la thought that this time It will
result In a new senator from Illi
nois.
"Fake medicines scored by Taft."
Taft doesn't believe much In medicine,
anyway. He considers golf the bent of
all curative remedies.
Tho the ausar trust probe has boon
the cause of many atartllns revelations.
It has not yet reached the bottom tt the
barrel.
Extensive cutlery frauds practiced
on the government have just been un
earthed. It appears thnt when Uncle
Sam Is not being stung he Is being
knifed.
The s..Ions of the Volunteer State
have reconvened. The political fire
works of Tennessee's combustible leg
islature will .no doubt be biasing ftirt-
ously by July ,.
Young Havenleyer asserts that the
sugar trust Is a good trust. But It
hasn't been very good at concealing the
number of frauds It hus practiced on
the government.
An Alabama woman, bitten by her
sweetheart, fears thnt she will have

found for snake bites, dog bites and
mosquito bites, but the sweetheart bits

quiry declared that the late H. O. Have,
meyer. head of the sugar trust, was

that most truit heads sooner or later
become philanthropists.
THE BUSINESS DOCTOR
£y ROE FULKERSON
“The fault Is not In the artistic excellence of your display," said the
Business Doctor, “but In the character of the goods which constitute It. You
have lost sight of one fact, and that Is that the average American will buy
anything on earth which strikes his
fancy, provided he can pay for It out
>uf tho loose change In his pocket.
“In the displays on your counters In
your show enses, on the tables scat
tered around your more and In your
show windows (his fact should bo
borne In tnlnd. Put out the little things
where they will catch the eye and put a
price tag on them. Literally thousands
of dollars are picked up by the depart
ment stores all over the country by
this method, and It Is good business.
“When a woman starts out to buy ft
suit, a carpet, a piece of furniture or
any other article of merchandise which
runs Into a number of dollars, she Is
going to lock around. She doesn't buy
in the (Irst store, but In her search for
that article she will pick up from the
counters and showcases of the stores
thru which she searches half a dozen
little things which ahs had no thought
of buying when she came downtown;
provided, always, there things are
tastefully and conveniently arranged on your tables and counters and In
your show cases.
"The price tag Is another essential. There Is not one man In ft thousand
who can tell a molded celluloid, elephant, which sells for 75 cents, from a.
Japanese Ivcry carved one which sells for $75 while It Is In your showcase.
The public does not like to have to ask the price of an article If there Is
liable to be that difference In It. No person likes to be called 'cheap.' and
this absence of a price tag Is liable to make him feel that he Is, and the
consequence Is he does not ask tc buy.
“There are half a dozen s pi all coins In every purse which are yours If
you will use this method of going after them. Put back the high-priced
K ill for which people- will ask and shove out the little trinkets which no
rson needs, but which every person will buy on the Impulse of the mo
ment. .
"There never was a time In the history of the world when the dear pub
lic was spending as much mone£ as right now, and If you ate not getting
your share, It Is your own fault,"
Here's a furniture ad, said by a lot of experts to be perfection In '
wording:
"The Mayhew case Is rested finally, not upon Mayhew salesmanship or
upon Mayhew advertising, as good as we want these to be—but upon May
hcw furniture—the product of two generations of fidelity to definite Ideals
and specific standards of design, manufacture and marketing of furniture.”
Did you ever stop to think what Is the most valuable asset any man
has In his business?
It Is his own personal ability. When the head of the house Is disabled
from Illness or accident. Income decreases and expenses Increase from doc
tor bills, medicine, nurses and appliances. A contract with a good Insur
ance company may be had guaranteeing the Income In case of Illness or
accident. Better look Into It.
It's a fact that one-halt the worry and trouble and fussing we have over
our business affairs Is wasted energy and leads to brain fag, broken health,
shattered nerves, cocktails and divorce courts.
Hustle like all possessed, and then when you have done all that is In
your power, sit down and grin.
There Is many a man who Is living under the Impression that Op
portunity, of which John J. Ingalls wrote his soul-stirfing poem. Is-going
about the country disguised as a bob-tdlled flush, a tip on the races or a
bundle of shares of mining stock In a mine of the type that Mark Twain had
In mind when he wrote. "A gold mlno Is a hole In the ground owned by a
liar."
THIS WEEK IN COTTON
By JOSEPH B. LIVELY.
It has been a weather market In cotton the past week. A change In
climatic conditions has occurred. It hss been In the nature of Improve-
'inent. tho the Improvement outside of the eastern belt has been slight. It
has been spatted In the western bait. The little Improvement, however, In
that section has encouraged the bears to hall the new crops freely, and with
the exception of one day (Tuesday) have had preHy much (heir own way.
The first rsal weakness was noted on Monday, when liquidation was
somewhat urgent In the early part of the day. and exaggerated statements
as to tho extent of the rainfall throughout the session. The detailed wrath-
or map, however, failed to show anything like the rain that ovej Sunday
telegrams brought, and the trade was still at sea and rather Inclined to dis
regard official advices, since the sentiment la pronouncedly against the
market. Under existing conditions and misinformation, It would seem
much safer to depend upon official advlcca as to weather and watch care
fully the gradual Improvement of trade conditions which foreshadow the ne
cessity of an enormous American crop. The sellers of Monday were the
purchasers Tuesday, and prices worked sharply upward.
Fresh rain reports began to circulate Wednesday, mostly thru private
sources. They continued to be circulate;! Thursday and Friday, and while
the government falls to confirm prlvnte reports of general rains In either
Texas or.Oklahoma. prices have eased off, the week closing at practically
the low levels and nt declines of $1.40 per bale for July and August, and
$2.10 to $2.45 per bale for the new crop months.
It was commented:
"This market antagonism has approached the velocity of-a hurricane
at tlmea, and usually results In heavy selling on every decline, to be fol
lowed by regretful covering of shorts on the advance. The Bouth has been
a seller up to date berauee the Bouth has always been hopeful for a maxi
mum crop until the middle of June. The buyer of cotton has been the spin
ner, who Is selling goods for fall and winter delivery on the basis of 15 to
16c cotton and securing his cotton at 13 to 14c. We have reached, the point
In the growth of the crop when Its Imperfections begin to show. Those who
have sold cotton have about extended themselves tho limit of their ability In
that direction and It they should once conclude to buy It back It would bo
hard to find any one to sell them the quantity they need. The speculative
world Is already short nearly 3,000,000 bales of American cotton of the
growth of 1911, or nearly one-fonrth-of the entire crop. The world’s spinners
have 2,000,000 bales of It."

Perhaps the most prolific cause of
organic heart disease Is tonsllltls, es
pecially chronic tonsllltls. Also ton-
gllltls Is frequently the forerunner and
proximate cause of rheumatism.
Indeed, there Is a close relationship
between organic heart disease,, rheu
matism and tonsllltls. We have long
noticed that nearly all cases of heart
disease were preceded by articular
rheumatism. The explanation Is that
the lining membrane of the joints and
the lining membrane of the heart ard
Identical In structure and nature, and
are quire susceptible to Inflammation.
Consequently, when the system be
comes sufficiently loaded with the irri
tant poison (whatever It Is) which In
flames the Joints, the lining membrane
of the heart Is liable to become In
flamed, too. And within recent years
It has dawned upon medical men that
the port of entry for tho germs of
rheumatism Is chiefly the diseased ton
sil. The Identity of these germs has not
been definitely fixed upon as yet, but It
Is probable that they are much like the
germs of pneumonia and the germs of
septic blood poisoning, If, Indeed, these
same germs are not themselves the
guilty parties.
Of heprt diseases there are two
kinds—functional and organic. Func
tional disease means simply a tem
porary disorder In tho working of the
heart without any disorder In the struc
ture or mechanism of the vital organ.
Palpitation,Tor example, Is a function
al trouble. Organic disease, on the
other hand. Is a disorder of the struc
ture and mechanism <jf the heart, nnd
Is a permanent aliment. If the lining
membrane of the heart becomes In
flamed and thickened, the delicate
valves which serve to keep the blood
from running back the wrong way
become distorted and begin to leak,
and We have typical organic heart dla
ease.
It has been suggested that the ton
alls be removed In well persons as a
prophylactic measure against rheuma
tlsm and heart disease, but so radical
a view as this has not met with gen
eral approval. Yet, since It Is often
necessary to remove part or all of these
troublesome glands In order to free the
throat of obstruction, It would seem
wise to yield to tho operation In every
case where the tonsils are at all prone to
chronic onrecurrent Inflammation.

Editor The Georgian! .
Tho war you waged recently against
the street car company In behalf of the
r ople was a praiseworthy one, but, as
thought at the time. Its good results
were short lived. I do nqt know that
the car company Is not comnlylng with
the ruling of the railway commission,
but this I do know: That the cars are
as crowded today as they ever were
before the ruling of the commission.
For Instance, Friday morning car No.
331, which reached Five Points at 8:10
o'clock from West End. carried 69 pas
sengers, 36 seated, 33 standing!
This Is no exceptional case. West
End cars are crowded every day, both
morning and evening.
Yours very truly,
