DININGCARS WITH A’LA CARTE SERVICE ILgAVII TO CINCINNATI & LOUISVILLE SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS Thomas G. Hudson, erstwhile candi date for governor and now retired temporarily—farmer and agricultural ist, is going with the Georgia delega tion to Baltimore, merely as an Inno cent bystander and sort of onlooker In Vienna “I feel fine for Just such a trip." said Mr. Hudson "I believe I can enjoy myself tremendously watching the ani mals fight and paw up the earth, and know that I am no party to the fight ing or the pawing. "I believe I am happier than 1 have been in months. I have a grouch against nobody—that is. almost no body—and I am not sour on creation at all. "I am nnt so hypocritical as to say there was nothing of disappointment to me in the way things went guherna torially; but I am sincere when I say I am glad I am out of ft. I was up against an impossible situation, and no one can ft more surely tl\an I do. “I am going to Baltimore to see how they do things In a political pow-wow of that size. Maybe I am going to see a Southerner nominated for the presi dency of the United States. I hope that Is what I am to see. anyway.” "Roosevelt does not seem to have much of a show." observes a politi cal prophet Still, it Is better than most three-ring circuses. Dr. George M. Brown has opened mayoralty headquarters on the second floor of the Austell building—the first mayoralty headquarters of the forth coming municipal campaign. A big canvas sign bids visitors wel come. and when the visitors get In side. Dr. Brown tells them all about how he has the race sewed up, and is going to win, and there isn't a hit of doubt about it. And after the doctor has pumped them full of it he looks them squarely In the eye and asks. "Now, can they heat me, do you think?” And far he It from them to say ft isn’t just as he says! If the doctor can get Colonel Steve Johnston. Mayor Winn and Aiderman McClelland In that office and explain things to them, there may be no real race forth« mayoralty. As 1t Is. however, it looks as If it is to be a four-cornered row. Georgians thought their own lit tle old state convention was som» beans in the rough house line, but that Chicago national thing—wow! The Georgia legislature, soon to con vene, probably will extend further the admirable game laws now on the stat ute books. Much good seems tn have been ac complished as It Is. and the legislature doubtless will feel encouraged to go ahead with the excellent work. Sportsmen, real and near, who have been going about in sackcloth and ashes—whatever that is—of late years, ■because of the alleged rapidly ap proaching utter extinction of the tooth some and vivacious quail, should cheer up. The quail is not yet a mere mem ory and a song—nor, if one may be lieve a fraction of what he hears, is that bird likely to go the way of the dodo soon. Comes into court now W. R Evitt, By JAMES B. NEVIN. of Mill Creek. Whitfield county, and testifies glorious and delightful things in re the quail. Mr Evitt is the state, deputy game warden for Mill Creek, and should speak authoritatively. Evitt says that "Jim” Kinsey says that there are more quails than one can shake a stick at around and about Mill Creek. The Dalton citizen vouches for the excel lent reputation of Kinsey—so this would seem to be a true story, all right. Mr. Kinsey says he can hardly get about In his fields for the nests full of quails' eggs, and that some of the birds, more venturesome and bold than the ordinary, actually have been laying eggs In his hens' nests. Moreover, says Kinsey, the farmers of his vicinity are complaining bitterly that they can not keep corn in the ground at all, because the quails come along and peck it up hungrily and greedily as soon as humanttv clears the way and they can get at it. "I used to think there were a lot of English sparrows in my neighborhood,” said Kinsey to Deputy Warden Evitt recently, “but this year the quails have them skinned a block. They are be coming a perfect pest and nuisance on my farm!” A colored brother from Dixie says he was offered 11.060 to vote for the colonel in Chicago, and re fused it. He probably doubts there is that much money in the world. Whatever one may have thought of it early in the game. Trox Bankston’s claim that he has eighty-odd weekly newspapers committed favorably to his candidacy for one of the railroad com missionerships seems to be borne out by developments. A score or more of Georgia's best known weekly newspapers have an nounced themselves heartily and ag gressively for Mr. Bankston, and twice as many are leaning decidedly his way The Rossville New Age expresses a prevailing sentiment, and in about the usual words, when It says of Mr. Bankston's candidacy: Mr. Bankston Is asking for a po sition which will be voluntarily vacated by the incumbent, Judge George Hlllyer, and does not expect formidable opposition in the pri mary. It is our opinion, and we feel that the same is shared gen erally, that Editor Bankston em bodies the requisites necessary to the satisfactory administration of the office of railroad commissioner. It looks as if the Bankston boom is growing and flourishing in weekly press pastures, anyway. Baltimore has a reputation as a city of "bargain funerals.” The managers of some Democratic presidential booms may find a measure of consolation in this fact. Frank W. Copeland, former repre sentative from Wafker county, will be a candidate to succeed Judge John W. Maddox on the superior court bench of the Rome circuit, in the event the judge resigns because of his acceptance of the presidency of the State Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Rome. Mr. Copeland is letting his prospec tive candidacy be known frankly to his friends. J. Randolph Anderson, of Savannah, will perform the pleasant duty of sec onding the nomination of Oscar Under wood for the presidency of the United States, in Baltimore. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Underwood were college mates and class mates, and that Mr. Anderson second his nom ination is a particularly personal re quest from the Alabaman to the Geor gia delegation. Mr. Underwood admits that he was moved largely by sentiment in this matter. And there is a good deal of sentiment in the house leader, as those who know him well long ago found out.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. JTSE 19. 19iz. BOTH TOMS WILL GO TO BALTIMORE But Political Rivals, Watson and Felder, Probably Will Take Different Routes. I consider it my duty to attend the Baltimore convention. Unless prevented by sickness or other providential cause, I'will be there. — Thomas E. Watson. I certainly will attend. Nothing short of physical inability will pre vent my attendance. —Thomas B. Felder. Despite rumors, hints and' sugges tions to the contrary, given currency for whatever purpose they may have been, both Thomas E. Watson and Thomas B. Felder. delegates-at-!arge to the national Democratic convention, will attend that gathering, unless prov. identially prevented. Not only that, but there has been no sort of friction between them as to convention "honors," nor has there been any agitation Inside the committee con cerning them. Notwithstanding efforts here and there to "start something," the Georgia delegation is going to Baltimore entire, ly at peace with Itself, so far as the natioinal convention is concerned. There is no pretense of friendship between the two "Tomi,” and likely will be none soon; but. so far as any man knows, they will not carry their differences of opinion about men and things into the national convention in Baltimore. To Go by Different Routes. Thomas B. Felder has a berth reser vation from Atlanta to Baltimore on Southern train No. 38 to leave Atlanta next Sunday morning at 11:15 o’clock. Mr. Felder says he made the reserva tion for the express purpose of using the berth personally, and that he sure ly, will be a passenger on that train. Mr. Watson has made no berth res ervation on Southern No. 38 out of At lanta, but he has reserved sleeping ac commodations, along with some eighteen other. Georgians, at No. 1021 St. Paul street, in Baltimore. He like ly w ill go to Baltimore over the South ern byway of Aiken. S. C.. as that is much the more direct route from Au gusta. Mr. Felder says he is not in the least alarmed because of threats of arrest Governor Blease of South Carolina may make or may have made.

F> »«.l, Branch 132 N-Peachtrec Street MORE RIOMM HERE IN SOUTH THAN ANT OTHER SECTION Os 0, S, Also Consumption of Calo mel Greater in South than Any Other Section of Country. These important facts are presented tor thoughtful consideration. Why is it that our old men and wom en of the South today are rheumatic almost without exception? Is calomel the cause? Until recent years calomel was uni versally accepted in the South as the great family medicine, and in the days when doctors were har4 to get the cal omel jar was kept handy on the man tel, Even today the South consumes much more calomel than the North. We know now that calomel is a pow erful mercurial drug and should never be taken as an ordinary purgative without a physician’s prescription. Too much calomel in the system has a di rect. dangerous action upon the bones, eating away their substance, causing wasting away and finally crumbling. And scientists advance the theory that the prevalent rheumatic condition of the Southern people is due largely to the enormous consumption of mercurial calomel as an ordinary purgative. We know also where there is bile and constipation there is a uric acid accumulation in the blood, and a dose of calomel merely forces out the bile and leaves the acid in the blood. The uric acid then flows thru the blood stream and finally lodges in the muscles and joints to develop into acute rheu matic conditions. Don't take calomel. If you are, con stipated and bilious take JACOBS LIVER SALT. It immediately dis solves and expels the uric acid, puri fies the blood, cleanses the stomach and prevents further accumulation of uric acid. . If you have rheumatism which has resulted from uric acid crystallization of the blond. JACOBS' LIVER SALT will act directly upon the poisonous acid deposit tn the tissues. It will not cure you over night, neither did your rheumatism come over night. But it is the most successful uric acid solvent that we know of. and will relieve and cure rheumatism if used conscientious ly. Try It. JACOBS' LIVER SALT makes a pleasant, effervescent drink.
