GEOMIN LINE FOB ROJOS BILL r —■ Rural Sections Hope Gordon Lee’s Efforts Tor Measure Will Meet Success. A very great deal of interest Is tell throughout Georgia, particularly in the rural sections, in a bill now before the ' United States senate, after having passed the house by a tremendous ma jority. which has for its object the promotion of good roads construction through Federal rental of the same for rural mail delivery purposes. This bill, which is pending as a rider to the postoffice appropriation bill. and. therefore, is more than likely to pass. Is the compromise consolidation tof several bills introduced in congress for the encouragement of good roads build ing, and was reported to the house by the agricultural committee as a com -mittee measure. Gordon Lee, representative from the Seventh Georgia congressional district, who is a member of the agricultural committee, was one of the leaders in the fight to get this bill through the committee and through the house. Mr. Lee made a speech on the floor of the house in favor of the measure, which attracted widespread attention. What the Bill Provides. Stripped of its technical terms, the bill provides that any county in any state of the Union, wherein rural or star mail routes are maintained, may build roads of a specified kind, and rent them to the Federal government for use of the mail service, at from sls to $25 per mile per annum, if it so elects. Counties able and so desiring may build those roads, under the provisions of the contemplated law. and thereby find for themselves good investments, providing a direct financial return, or they may build them through bond Is sues and depend upon the Federal rent als to pay the Interest thereon. The roads thus rented by the gov ernment for the mail service would be open, of course, to the general public. As a matter of fact, government de liveries would rarely be made over these roads more than twice a day. six days to the week. To Encourage Good Roads. The primary purpose of this bill is to encourage the construction of good roads everywhere ttuoughout the Union in suyh wise as the Federal gov ernment may. Many bills have been introduced in congress looking to Federal aid in the matter of good roads construction, but , congress has invariably found it diffi cult to get around the legal obstruc tions standing between congress and Its desires. This bill, the committee on agriculture thinks, meets every legal objection and is framed to bear evenly and indiscriminately throughout the entire United States. The committee on agriculture be lieves that this measure, while frankly put forward to encourage good roads construction, may be depended upon, if generally adopted, to increase largely the use of the rural mail service every where. Eventually, at least, the com mittee thinks, the general construction of roads under the provisions of this bill will prove to be financially profita ble to the government, because of the extension of the mail service. And in tlie meantime It will be of vast benefit and help to the people, particularly the farmers and agricultural pari of the population, because of the much better roads that will be constructed under its provisions. Congressman Lee gives it as his opinion that this bill undoubtedly will , he enacted into law by the present ongress. and that the president will sign It promptly JEALOUS BLACK KILLS WIFE.

Proportionately low rates from other station s—SEA BOARD SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ' ON GEORGIA POLITICS Thomas G. Hudson, former candi date for governor, is in Atlanta today.' He has been spending a few days on his farm, preparatory to entering at once upon a peaceful existence, more or less removed from politics. Later along—well. Mr. Hudson says he may have a try at the political game, from one angle or another. "I wish to correct one impression that has inadvertently gone abroad, partly through misunderstanding and partly through misinformation. In a list of names given out by' Mr. Frank Reynolds, purporting to be my' cam paign committee, and supposedly’ those who inducted me to enter the guberna torial contest, with promises of finan cial support, and so on, appear the names of Judge George Hillyer and Judge, John S. Candler, of Atlanta, and some others. "I wish to say that neither gentle man had anything to do with getting me into the gubernatorial race, nor with getting me out. Both are my loyal friends, and have been. I have nothing but gratitude in my heart for them. “I wish to say' that much in justice to them, and because there is some misapprehension about their connection with my late campaign involving them unpleasantly?'!, Air. Hudson will be In Atlanta for the remainder of this week. The governorship race is the absorbing topic of comment among statesmen, real and. near, passing through Atlanta nowa days. It generally is agreed that John M. Slaton has the best end of the contest, so far as present appearances go, and it further is agreed that he stands to win. provided "something doesn't happen.” It is not thought likely that something will "happen." of course—still, one hears a person of specidative and argumenta tive frame of mind throw out a sugges tion along that line now and then. For instance— " There is one thing that can. and will, seriously damage Jack Slaton s cause in Georgia." said an observer of events and things, discussing the governorship mat ter todajj, "and that might, in certain cir cumstances, actually defeat him, and that is continued 'nagging' of Tom Hudson, because of something Hudson did, or Is alleged to have done, to somebody or other of this or that political faith long ago. "Hudson may or may not have been guilty of ingratitude’ when he favored Senator Smith rather than Senator Ter rell in the contest for the succession to Senator Clay, and he may- or may not have made a mistake when he 'forsook' one crowd for another, back yonder some where In the dim and relatively distant past; but if Jack Slaton's friends want Tom Hudson's friends to support Jack Slaton for governor—which many of them Incline cordially to do—they will not nag’ Hudson too far. nor will they seek to rub anything in too deepl "There isn't any use going into this matter further right now A word to the wise is sufficient. Hudson's friends feel mighty kindly' toward Slaton now—and I hope they will continue so to feel. And I they will. If only' some few' of Mr. Sla ton's foolish friends will let them " And these sentiments found hearty ap proval at the hands of the audience-- Mushroom Coms, Quick Cure And All Kinds Sore Feet The following is absolutely the surest and quickest cure known to science for all foot ailments, the painful mushroom corn Included.

Do you remember the definition of the equator in your old school geog raphy. Well, a child was asked for that definition the other day and said: "The equator is a menagerie lion run ning around the world between two poles," What confused the kiddle was the sentence “an imaginary line tun ning around the world equallt distant between the two poles." Such incidents and that of the children who were discovered to be singing “I love thy rotten chills, Wood land's distemper pills" when Amer ica was called for are slightly disturb ing to the ordinary educator and show cause for the need of reform.

Being reminded this morning of his con tinuing youthful appearance physically. John T. Boifeuillet. private secretary to Senator Augustus Octavius Bacon, said: “I attribute my very good health direct ly to one thing above all others I take daily plenty of exercise, exclusively by way of walking. “Senator Bacon got me into the com mendable habit of walking much and walking far. It is. by all odds, the finest exercise in the world, and the senator practices it. and has for many years. “The senior senator from Georgia is one of the noted walkers of Jh’ashington city. He lives on Oregon avenue, five miles from the capitol. and be makes the round trip afoot every day. Occasionally, com ing in., he may walk down as far as the Raleigh hotel, and then ride up the hill to the capitol. but he never does that un less he is unusually pressed for time. “Chief Justice White and Mr. Justice Holmes, of the supreme court, are great walkers, but neither is in a class with Senator Bacon. The senator is 71 years of age, and there isn’t a better specimen of physical manhood in Washington over 50. He keeps his good health largely by walking; he has sought most successfully to balance his mental activity with physi cal exercise. “1 fell into the habit of walking with him, and 1 have grown very fond of the exercise,’’ concluded Mr. Boifeuillet. “Walking is fine business for any man.’’ L CLEVELAND - MANNING’S n “STORE BEAUTIFUL*' Where so many Pianos are being sold during our ® ranc * Sale.

Atlanta can't get enough ihiekens to supply the present demand, declared produce men today. The Atlanta mar kets are receiving from 3.000 to 3,500 head of chickens each day. but the) all •■ire sold before night. Since poultry raising became a tad in this state Georgia is shipping more chickens into this market than ever before, but Tennessee is supplying the greatest number. Fries are a little un dersized and many poultrymen are holding them back at present, which partially accounts for the short market. "Georgia is raising many chickens now, but it must go some to equal Ten nessee," said a produce man. "If It were not for Tennessee we would have very few turkeys; in fact. I believe that the price would jump to 50 cents per pound.* "Fries are mi the market now at from 22 to 25 cents per pound, and right here is where the Georgia poultry rais ers could best those of Tennessee. Georgia can grow a chick to frying size earlier than Tennessee. "The poultry business in Georgia has increased marvellously in the past few years, People u ill eat chicken when nothing else will take Its place. They want chicken all the time."
