Calvin Brown, * <>nnnissi‘>n< r of the department of exportation "f I’anania- Paciflc exposition, t ■ be held In San Francisco in 1915. is in .Atlanta today, and called upon Governor Brown to urge an appropriation for a Georgia building at the fair. Thr mmissioner went before i committee of the Atlanta < hamber at Commerce this afternoon to ask co operation from the city and urge an Atlanta representation in Fan Francis co. Commissioner Brown said that he had visited 28 states thus far In the in terest of the fair and had met with un usual success. lb- was informed at the state capitol that a peculiar pro vision in the Georgia, constitution make- it impossible for the Georgia legislature to appropriate money to be used for a state building. Georgia, it seems, has never been represented at any of the many expositions, except lug through the action of public bodies, such as boards of trade and civic as sociations. If it is found it is absolutely Impos sible for the state to provide for a Georgia exhibit in Sun Francisco, the Atlanta Chamber ol Commerce will take steps at once to interest other trade bodies throughout the state in raising a fund to obtain Georgia r«q.- resentatlon. Such action was recently taken by several associations 11 the state to give Georgia tin exhibit in the Chica go 'land show. It is understood that the local Chamber of Commerce will make a strenuous effort to make the Georgia exhibit at San Francisco an assured fact, and the biggest exhibit ever attempted by the state, HOMELESS OFFICIAL AT CLEVELAND KICKS FOR LACK OF OFFICE CLEVELAND, GA., .fu.no 11.

' 3 CENTS EACH OFFERED FOR OLD FALSE TEETH GREENFIELD. MASS., June 11. “Wanted —Old false teeth. Send old artificial teeth. 1 mall you immediately three cents cash for each tooth re ceived.’’ This advertisement, which appeared in the last Issue of a Greenfield week ly, lias caused unwonted activity on the part of Franklin county’ residents. The outgoing mall has assumed such proportions that the postmasters of several hamlets are hopeful that their receipts will be swelled sufficiently to t-ecure them a higher salary rating. Old teeth are being resurrected from attics, barns and abandoned wells. A Colerain youth admits robbing a scare crow in his great-uncle’s cornfield of his great-grandfather’s false teeth.

There seems to be a more or less rampant desire upon the various pa triotic citizens here and there to know the names of that famous "committee" responsible for Thomas G. Hudson’s fa tal plunge into the stormy sea of Geor gia politics gubernatorialwise. Some esteumed contemporaries have sought to clothe this matter in a garb of baffling mystery’. The result has been, of course, a growing demand that the list be made public. Sidelights being the occasional Sher lock Sleuth of The Georgian staff, see ing in this thing an opportunity to pull something big. got right on the trail of the conspirators, and. with accus tomed sagacity, obtained the names. It was a tough job to get them— Sidelights actually had to walk right up to Frank Reynolds, erstwhile publicity manager for Hudson, and ask for them. Here they are: Judge George Hillyer, Shelbv Smith, H. Kelly. Reuben R. Arnold, W. Woods White, I’. A. Methvln, R. J. Guinn, Bolling H. Jones. E. <’. Callaway. J H. Patterson, John S. Candler, H. Y, McCord. J. L. .Mayson. Aldine < ’hambers, ft. J. Griffin. John A. Boykin. W. M. McKenzie. These are the gentlemen reported re sponsible for Mr. Hudson’s leaving his congressional race and entering the gu bernatorial scramble. They are the gentlemen alleged to have promised Hudson “political arid linuncial backing" in quantity sufficient to put Hudson over. They are tire gentlemen a majority of whom are alleged to have been vis ited by a serious and prostrating at tack of "cold feet." as the Hudson cam paign failed to progress as scheduled. Are they guilty as charged in the indict merit ? Right here seems a tine place to ring in that ancient and familiar thing, "As Kipling says, ’That is another story!’ ’ "Sometimes methinks ambition’s wine is sweet. And fashioned for such amorous lips as mint ; And then again 1 think it not so fine 1 drink it and my friends acquire ’cold feet!’" Rubaiyat of Tom Hudson. John M.

He was twice elected speaker of the house and twice president of the sen ate. In no one of these four elections did he have opposition. His short, term in the governor's of flee, held by reason of Governor Smith’s resignation and pending the election ol Mr. Smith’s successor, was marked by no untoward incident that can in any wise hurt him or adversely affect him in his present ambition, on the con trary. such short record a’s he made in the governorship was all to his credit In the hotel lobbies nowadays they art- referring to Slaton as the "luckies fellow” ever In Georgia politics. It is pointed out that he "never has had op position for anything," and that “plums just naturally drop Into his lap.” There are a great many people, how ever, who are beginning to suspect— if they' never suspected ft before—that there is much more than mere "luck” involved in a career as successful and yet as devoid of strife as Mr. Slaton’s has been. One of his big assets seems to be an ability’ to tie on friends with cords that can not be broken. He has, in his long years of legislative service, made him self known t.ivorably to thousands of Georgians—many of them those very men, too. to whom Mrs. W. Y. Atkinson once unfortunately—but truthfully—re ferred as “the men who control” In Georgia. It looks as if the governor's race is to develop Into a runaway for Slaton. Far from the madding crowd’s ig noble strife. Colonel S. Guyt McLendon daily meets his friends and takes his ease. The storms that beat about the houses of those who play the game of polities vehemently and with wearing enthu siasm—they who go the pace that kills —come not at all to the house of Mc- Lendon. In the Kimball house lobby Colonel McLendon holds daily a sort of calm levee, and keeps in touch w ith what is going on. There are few men in Georgia who are better posted than he on political topics, big and little. He is perhaps, the highest authority on the tariff ques tion in Georgia today. His views are not shared by all Georgians -for he be lieves frankly in a protective tariff, as against so-called free trade—but it is not always a safe undertaking to argue with him, for he has facts and figures in most bewildering profusion, with which to silence and confound most un expectedly now and then. Colonel McLendon takes an active in terest in politics, and he knows the Georgia, game just about as well as the next one, at that. He has his likes and his dislikes, and he never talks to empty benches, so to speak. The thing Mr. McLendon would give a good deal to know right now is all the ins and outs, the pros and cons, and all the its and amis of the col lapse of the Hudson campaign. But he doesn't; and in that he has nothing much on anybody else, per haps. COUNCIL BLAMED FOR BAD SCHOOLS i Builders Trace Poor Condition of Houses to Meager Ap propriations. R. M. Walker president of the Build ers' Exchange, said today that the re port of that body, stating the cause of the bad condition of the bond Issue schools to be the short appropriations for the buildings by council, would be submitted to the board of education and the bond commission as evidence when these bodies meet to determine who is responsible. F. A. Quillian, chairman of the bqnd commission, said that no meeting would be called until Building Inspector Hayes had completed his investigation of all the schools. Blame Placed on Council. “The language of our report is mild,” said Walker. "The great trouble with the school buildings was caused by the penuriousness of council. We want to reply to the attacks made on the con tractors and to urge that the city be more liberal in financing such improve ments in the future.” F. A. Quillian declared that when the report of the defects in the schools was submitted he would demand that the contractors make good their contracts. Buildings Not Fire-Proof. Said Building Inspector Hayes: "It will take considerable work to repair some of the buildings I have inspected. There is a great deal of merit in the statement of the Builders' Exchange that the buildings were con structed too cheaply. They are not tire-proof and never will be wha’ they should be.” ACROSS SEA WIRELESS TO BE TRIED THIS YEAR NEW YORK.
