Paint is your great rejuVe
nator. your great preserver of
all things wood or iron. With
in reasonable limits the more
yon paint the more you save,
providing, of course, that you
use good paints. Poor paint
is money thrown away twice—
the money you pay for the
paint and the cost of putting
it on.
Paint wisely.

Ever since Captain John Triplett, the
well-known Thomasville sage and wise
philosopher, voted for Horace Greely for
president of the United States' in 1868,
he has persistently and consistently bet
a $5 hat on every subsequent Democratic
nominee.
Os course, under that system, the cap
tain has lost every hat with the excep
tion of two lonesome lids, that came to
him by the grace of Grover Cleveland
in 1884 and 1892.
These various bets, with the exceptions
noted, have always been won by Captain
Triplett's townsman. H. \V. Hopkins.
Mr. Hopkins is a stout-hearted and un
compromising Democrat, and only bets
against Captain Triplett because he hates
to think of a loathed Republican win
ning a Democratic hat— and. besides, he
can use a new hat every four years, if
necessary.
Captain Triplett says he Is getting tired
of furnishing hats for "Bill” Hopkins,
and expects to get even with him this
year, or one hat nearer even, anyway.
The captain is strong for Underwood,
and thinks the Alabaman not only the
logical man for the nomination, but the
man sure to win. He is not only "root
ing” for Underwood—he says he Is pray
ing for him.
Captain Triplett has, but one fear. If
Bryan should be nominated, the. Thomas
ville man says another good hat Is a
goner.
He has notified "old Bill Hopkins" that,
if Bryan is nominated. Triplett is game
enough to buy the hat right away, and
let "Bill” have the use of ft this sum
mer.
Hopkins says he really doesn't care a
hoot whether be wins the hat this time —
In fact, he rather hopes he will lose But
he is tn on the bet agatn, as usual, for
he doesn't propose that any old Repub
lican shall have Triplett’s skypiece, if
things go wrong with the Democrats In
November.
"Uncle Bob” Irwin, of the insurance de
partment of Georgia, is a mighty happy
man nowadays.
He got even, good and proper, with his
ancient enemy. Colonel "Bill” Speer, the
other day—and that is all it takes to
make “Uncle Bob” happy.
Not long ago. Colonel Speer, the state
treasurer, was sitting In his office talking
to a plutocratic looking person, and “Un
cle Bob" came through. "Uncle Bob”
passed the usual salutation, familiarly,
but got no recognition in return. After
he passed along, the plutocratic looking
stranger Inquired of Colonel Speer to
know who that "familiar old person” was,
and the colonel told him “Uncle Boh”
was only an old milk and butter man
who knocked around the capitol now and
then, and that everybody humored him
and overlooked his pertness
When “Uncle Bob" heard of this he
was madder than all the wet hens that
ever were, and for a long time he couldn’t
sleep at night, for thinking how he was
to get even.
The other day, Colonel Speer was sit
ting out in the big lobby, waiting for
some cleaning and scrubbing to be done
inside his office, when a gentleman from
Wayback strolled through, and opened
conversation
“Hey. podner!” said Reuben to the
state treasurer, "ain’t this the capitol?”
Colonel ' Bill" Speer allowed as how
it was
“Guess you got a putty easy job. hey?"
Suggested Reuben, insinuatingly.
Colonel “Bill" Speer allowed as how
it wasn’t so blamed easy as It might
be. maybe.
“Rooks easy to me. Ain t you the
janitor?” Inquired Reuben
"Uncle Bob.” the “old milk and but
ter man.” was right around the earner
and heard It all.
And that’s why “Uncle Bob” 1s willing
to buy the cigars and the soda water for
anybody nowadays.

TEST CASE MADE
ONGUMVENDERS
Slot Machine Company Barred
From Atlanta Saloons to
Appeal Case.
Voluntarily having itself arrested and
fined in police court to test the gaming
laws as const rued by Recorder Nash
Broyles, the Atlanta Gum Machine
Vending Company will fight to the
finish in the courts for the right to
operate its slot machines in Atlanta sa
loons. War on these machines wars de
clared a few days ago by Judge Broyles
when he ruled that they are operated
in djreet violation of law, and ordered
that they be removed from saloons im
mediately.
The company declined tn accept the
recorder's ruling and determined on a
test case. On request of Attorney J. A.
Branch, counsel for the company, Po
lice Chief Beavers yesterday made a
ease against T. C. Alexander, the man
ager. and Judge Broyles imposed a fine
of $25.75. No issue was made as to the
facts. Attorney Branch and Assistant
City Attorney W. D. Ellis, representing
the city, agreeing to a written state
ment which was presented to the
court.
No Cases Pending Appeal.
The decision of the recorder will be
appealed. It is probable that the su
preme court of the United States will
be asked to pass judgment before the
rights of the slot machine finally are
determined.
Pending final decision, the police will
make no eases against saloonists who
may operate the machines.
Attorney Branch contends that the
machines of the gum vending company
are in no wise a gaming devise and
that the playing of the machines can
not be construed as a game of chance.
He says that a card posted on the tn«-
chihes indicates to the player exactly
what he will get when he deposits his
nickel, and that he always gets his
money’s worth, if not more
Judge Broyles ruled out the ma
chines under the law that stipulates
that no wheel or other device, or game
of chance, shall be operated tn a place
of business for the purpose of attract
ing trade.
