SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Thomas G. HUclson, 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 I have
been in months. 1 have a grouch
against nobody—that is. almost, no
body -and 1 am not sour on creation
at all.
"I am not so hypocritical as to say
there w as nothing of disappointment to
me in the way things went guberna
torialiy; but I am sincere when I say I
am glad I am out of It. 1 was up
against an impossible situation. and no
on>' < an know It more surely than I do.
"I am going to Baltimore to see how
they do things in a political pow-wow
of that size Maybe lam 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, ft Is better than
most three-ring circuses.
Dr. George M Rrown 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 blds 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 bit 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
beat me. do you think?” And far he it
from them to say it isn’t just as he
says I
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 for the mayoralty.
As It is, however. It looks as if ft is to
be a four-cornered row.
Georgians thought their own lit
tle old state convention was some
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 to 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,
.... . .. -■ ... ...... 3%.—. ../■ i' —-Z
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AXD NEWS, WEDNESDAY. JL ISE 19. Wiz.
of Mill Creek Whitfield county, and
testifies glorious and delightful things
in re the quail.
Mr. Evjtt is the state deputy game
warden for Mill Creek, and should
speak authoritatively. Evitt says that
Jim’’ Kinsey says that there are mo;e
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 otdinary. actually have been laying
eggs in his hens' nests.
Moreover, says Kinsey, the farmers
of bis 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 humanity clears the
way and they can get at it.
“I used to think t+iere 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 Mock. They are be
coming a perfect pest and nuisance on
my farm!”
A colored brother from Dixie
says he was offered 81.000 to vote
for the colonel in Chicago, and re
fused it. He probably doubts there
is that 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 newspapeis 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 ton
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 Walker 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. < opeland is letting bls 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

BOTH TOMS WILL
GO ID 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-large
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 fat as the
national convention is concerned.
There is no pretense of friendship
between the two "Toms,” 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 nut 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 will go to Baltimore over the South
ern byway of Aiken. S. <’., 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.

MORE RHEUMATISM HEBE IN SOUTH
THAN ffl OTHER SECTION OF 11, S,
Also Consumption of Calo
mel Greater in South than
Any Other Section of
Country.
These important facts are presented
for 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 medicim. and in the days
when doctors were bard 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 tlie theory that
the prevalent rheumatic condition of
the Southern people is du* 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 bilo
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’
IJ VER 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 blood. JACOBS' LIVER SALT
will act directly upon the poisonous
acid deposit in 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. Trv it.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT makes a
pleasant, effervescent drink. Nothing
just like it to tone up a weak stomach.
Don’t accept substitutes. 1-2 lb. jar
25c (16c additional postage by mail).
