VETERANS SUPPRESS
INFLAMMATORY SONG
OF OLD CONFEDERATE
MACON. GA.. May B.—The circula
tion here of thousands of copies of an
Inflammatory song called T Am a Good
Old Reber’ has aroused much indigna
tlon among the more conservative vet
erans attending the reunion, and A. F.
Watson, of Cape Fear camp. Wilming
ton, N. C., who is the sponsor for the
production, has been quietly requested
to suppress all other copies now in his
possession.
Mr. Watson is a veteran 68 years old,
who served throughout the war and
who. in his own language, is "still un
reconstructed."
[Family Gardens
y
Most homes in and around Atlanta have hack
yards. Most of these hack yards are bare spots
gone to waste.
These back yards, now wasted, amount, in the
aggregate, to hundreds of acres.
These waste acres put into family vegetable
gardens would produce enough vegetables to sup
ply this entire city with vegetables all summer
and fall
These now waste acres would make an enormous
dent in the much-talked-about “high cost of liv
ing.”
How about your back yard? Is it doing its
duty in supplying your table with crisp, fresh veg
etables. better than you can buy.
A small quantity of seeds of the vegetables you
like, a few plants of tomato, pepper and eggplant
are all that's necessary for a good, money-saving
family garden.
You have the. ground. We have the seeds and
plants of right varieties at right prices.
We are always glad to see you at our store, but
if you can’t come, just phone us.

BRASS BEDS FOR EVERYBODY
Priced From s lo' s to 165 *
Perhaps the largest single shipment of Brass
Beds that ever came to Atlanta has just been de-;
livered to us.
And the reason for this tremendous quantity
is found in the beds themselves.
We thought their quality was good enough,
their prices low enough to insure the sale of more
Brass Beds than were ever sold in Atlanta before.
And we acted on this conviction.
Now let’s see what your verdict will be!
There are single beds and double beds. An
unusual point is this:
The lacquering on the $10.75 bed is the same
as the lacquering on the $165.00 bed— the best
that the manufacturers of America know. So,
regardless of the price you wish to pay, you need
have no fear of that very important consideration
the lacquering.
The C.U. Duß. Mattress at $17.50

cause it is the best mattress that $17.50 can
buy, we had it stamped with our own name—

tress $17.50.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS:WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1912.
MRS. P. G. KNOX
ROBBED ON SHIP
Jewels Worth $3,400 Stolen
During Trip With Secretary
to South America.
DOS ANGEDES, May B—That Mrs.
Philander C. Knox, wife of the secre
tary of state, was robbed of jewels val
ued at $3,400 while aboard the cruiser
Maryland djiring the recent trip of the
secretary to South American republics,
became known here today. The story
was given out following the arrest in
San Diego of a marine aboard the
Maryland, who pawned diamonds in the
coast city.
The diamonds are asserted to be
those formerly Bet in a marquise ring
which belonged to Mrs. Knox. The
marine is kept in confinement in the
ship’s brig and will be transferred to
the navy yard prison at Mare Island
when the cruiser reaches San Francisco
within the next few days.
Captain M. .1 Ellicott, of the Mary
land, now in Santa Monica bay, admit
ted that the theft had occurred and the
arrest had been made The diamonds
recovered from the pawn shop have
been sent to Washington for identifi
cation and will be returned to the coast
for evidence at the trial. Secretary
Knox is now on the coast.
The theft occurred two months ago
while the cruiser was en route from
Punta Arenas to San Jose De Guate
mala. The thief entered Mrs. Knox's
cabin while she was in another part of
the ship. The loss was discovered and
reported at once to the ship’s officers.
They have since been keeping a lookout
for the thief.

“IMW RAGE"
FOR MEIKEH
Clark Is Far in Lead on Dele
gates, With More Than Half
Already Chosen.
In an editorial the day of the Mary
land primary (Monday) The Washing
ton Post declared that the contest for
the Democratic nomination at Balti
more is rapidly developing into “a run
away race for the speaker.”
That this is true is demonstrated by
the standing of the. candidates today.

The total representation in the Dem
ocratic convention is 1.088 delegates.
Necessary to nominate, 726.
Clark Far in Lead.
From the foregoing table it will be
seen that more than half the Demo
cratic delegates already have been
elected, and among these Clark has far
and away the lead.
It is well known that the speaker will
win several states that have not yet
acted; whereas the Wilson strength is
generally conceded to have been practi
cally exhausted.
Whether Clark goes into the conven
tion with sufficient strength to nomi
nate. on the first ballot is problematical
—that he will go in immeasurably the
strongest candidate is now clearly evi
dent.
Republican Figures 1 From Jackson.
The Republican situation is thus
summed up by National Committeeman
Henry S. Jackson, of Atlanta, who ob
viously leans greatly to the Taft side
in his estimates;
"The figures to date are as follows:
Number of delegates to the nation-
al convention 1,078
Necessary to nominate '540
Delegates elected 744
Delegates to be elected 344
Os the delegates elected:
Mr. Taft has 469
Mr. Roosevelt has ... 229
Mr. LaFollette has *36
Mr. Cummins has 10
Total 744
Os the delegates to be elected;
Mr. Taft needs 77
Mr. Roosevelt needs 311
Mr. LaFollette needs 504
Mr. Cummins needs 530
“The states of Arkansas, eighteen
votes, and Nevada, six votes, are now
ready to act finally, both being for
President Taft. This means 24 addi
tional votes for Taft."
