6 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
