wiisoimicioßY AFFECTS GEORGIA Nomination of New Jersey Man Means Smith Faction Will Renew Activities. It is being accepted generally by poli ticians well Informed in Georgia affairs that either Thomas W. Hardwick, of Washington, or Thomas S. Felder, of Bibb certainly will be a candidate for the governorship against Joe Hill Hall end John M. Slaton. As a matter of fact, the hitch in the Felder announcement Is due, more than anything else, to the not quite clear at titude of Hardwick, and a desire by frfends of both Felder and Hardwick that there be no cross firing between them. Hardwick and Felder both will not run. They would draw largely from the same faction in Georgia, and render the election of Mr, Slaton a practical cer tainty, so the wise ones say. The an nouncement of neither will be made positively until there Is an understand ing among mutual friends as to which should make the race this time. H Is quite well understood that the nomination of Woodrow Wilson for the presidency has Infused new life in the fimtton that will get behind Hardwick or Felder, as the case may be, in the governorship fight. Smithites Get "New Life." The so-called Hoke Smith faction in Georgia did Its best to carry the state in the late presidential primary for Wilson, and failed. Senator Smith came down from Washington and took the stump for Wilson, and Hardwick did the same thing. For a time, fol lowing the primary, the feathers of the Smith faction fell, but now that its msn has won the Mg Baltimore plum, it once more Is feeling full of fight and ready to dispute with Its ancient ene mies again. Ts Wilson is elected, and Georgians generally believe he will be, be|ng loyal Democrats and all that, it is accepted as a foregone conclusion that Senator Smith will be the power in the white hours, so far as Georgia Is concerned. If the Smith faction should make a fight no>w fbr the control of state poli tics and lose, there yet would be the white house of the presidential patron age and friendship to fall back upon. That’s the way a lot of Smithites are “doping it out" to themselves nowadays, astyway. Georgfans have a heartier and health ier appetite for politics than a..y other pecpie in the Union, It seems, and thej mrelv let a new situation grow cold before they have looked it over exhaus tively and speculated upon Its possibili ties. Already they have coupled up the Wilson nomination with state politics, and the smswer they get is a candidate ftw the governorship, to be backed to a finished by the Smith faction. And that candidate will be either Felder or Hardwick, so the speculation runs. The next day or so will tell. Ticket Pleases Tam man Men NEW YORK. July 4. -Charles F.

Friends of Dr. Robert S. MacArthur are confident he will remain in Atlanta retain ing his pulpit in the Baptist tabernacle despite the efforts of Calvary church in New York to induce him to return to his old charge. Dr. MacArthur now is in the North and has been In conference with friends of <\dvary. who have held several meetings with the avowed intent of pressing the in vitation upon him in such away that he could not refuse. But the famous minis ter’s friends in Atlanta recall that when lie anounced his determination to remain as acting pastor of the Tabernacle after the recent disruptions he assured many of them that upon his return from his summer visit to the North he would settle down to the institutional work of the church here with the determination not io leave it until he had brought about many innovations be has in mind. They say that ambition will keep him in Atlanta for a year at least. The friends of Dr. MacArthur in Cal vary church have argued with him that f he can perform the work of the At lanta tabernacle and at the same time keep abreast his duties as head of the Baptist World alliance he can do the same in Calvary.

Denies Rumor of Trouble. Dispatches from New York deciare that Dr MacArthur has told hi-s friends there that he may not return to Atlanta, though his present plans call for his return to the Tabernacle here after he shall have finished his preaching engagements at the Tremont temple in Boston during July and August. From then until April he is scheduled to re-enter upon his pastorate of the Tabernacle here, leaving Atlanta for a trip to St. Petersburg for the dedica tion of the Baptist college there in that month. While away he will preside over the European section of the alliance which meets in Stockholm, Sweden. In New York Dr. MacArthur denied that there bad been any trouble in his Atlanta pastorate. He said h*» had never “known of any trouble there until he read the re port.’’ He denied also the statements ihai he was seeking to change the form of service in the Atlanta tabernacle. Dispatches from New York say that the members of Calvary church have de termined upon the return of Dr. Mac- Arthur If it is possible to get him be cause they have had such difficulty in getting other churches to consent to give up pastors who were great successes. So they decided that It would be better all around to bring back their old pastor to his former church.

Up and Doton Peachtree He Thinks the Atlanta Police Wear Blinders. George Wight, who lives in the Pick wick, lost his automobile. Somebody drove it away while. Mr. Wight was in side a building. Mr. Wight was discon solate. He went to the police and he went to the detectives. They took a description of the car. from make and number to the scratch on the left rear mud guard, and promised to rake Fulton county with a fine tooth comb. But they didn’t find it. Three days later Mr. Wight told tlie newspapers of his hard luck and they pub lished the fact that Overland No. 14893 was missing. That night a resident of West Fourteenth street called up Mr. Wight. "Your machine is standing at West Peachtree and Fourteenth street,” he said. ‘lt has been there four days and everybody has been wondering who owned It. Its nubiber tag is right in plain view, and a dozen policemen have passed it. I wish you'd come out and drive It out of the way." Mr. Wight went out and got his car. He learned that the thief had been mere ly a borrower and had left the machine in the street soon after driving it from the Pickwick. But it seemed queer to him that the police had not been able to read the number. "Better put a burglar alarm on It," sug gested a friend to whom he told his story. CHICAGO NOT GUILTY! WOMEN’S FEET ONLY AS LARGE AS AVERAGE CHICAGO, July 4.—Chicago has been exonerated. Chicago feet are no larger than other feet. The old joke about rec ofnizing Chicago women around the cor ner is based on a false premise. Chiropo ei.is from all over the country, coming into Chicago to participate in the organ ization of a national association of "corn doctors, " testified earnestly to the fact that Chicago need not be ashamed of its pedals. Dr. Ignace J. Reis, of Chicago, who Is vice president of the Illinois Association of Chiropodists, was severe in his denun ciation of the age-worn joke at the ex pense of itis fellow townswomen "Il’s false!’ he cried, bringing one fist down with a smack into the palm of his other hand, while his mustache quivered with rage. “Those who tell you so are false. The feet of Chicago's fair ones compare most favorably with those of Naples. Berlin or Vienna. I have seen and I know. “Chicago women also have beautiful feet and ankles. I have seen and 1 know. It's an outrage the way New York and the world libels the feet of Chicago women. Our women have prettier feet than their sisters in' New York. 1 have seen and I know." CUTS TUMOR FROM BASE OF BRAIN TO CHECK BLINDNESS CHICAGO, July 4.—lmproving upon and developing surgical technic evolved by Dr. Allen B. Kanavel. a Chicago surgeon, Dr. L. L. McArthur, also a Chicagoan, has perfected a method of incision and operation in brain surgery which promises to mark the end of progressive blindness and simplify treatment of cranial tumors. The incision for the operation as per formed in clinic recently by Dr. McAr thur, is made in the roof of the mouth and instead of being an operation to make the most stout-hearted surgeon hesitate, is performed with a high average of suc cess and cornt>arative ease. Inflammation and foreign growths in the pituitary regions are said to be re sponsible for a large percentage of blind ness and nervous disorders. F AUGUSTUS HEINZE AND WIFE REPORTED AT OUTS NEW YORK, July 4—Friends of F.

ONE GENTLEMAN HERE.SAYSCOUNT Invasion of Northerners Has Made Southern Gentleman Thing of Past, He Says. PHILADELPHIA, July 4.—Count Au gust Schaffelsky DeMukkadel DeCas tellane Seymour arrived In Philadel phia announcing that there was but one real gentleman in the United States. This one, he added, was A. C. Cunningham, a real estate broker of Buffalo. The visitor Is a real count; at least, he says so himself. Also he asserts he Is a cousin of Count Boni DeCastellane. Count August Schaffelsky, etc., trav els to the accompaniment of two large crocodiles, two fox terriers, a valet and a trained flea. He learned after he arrived that the best hotels do not have accommodations for a menagerie. They told him so and he had to go elsewhere. He eventually landed in an apartment house. His Idea of a Wife, The count is here to find a wife. Ha is nearly six feet t;t!l, heavy from sole to crown: also hea '■ fowled, with heavy eyes and a heavy tnuoiache. Os his mustache he is particularly proud. The count began his lamentations by declaring he was in the market for a second wife. He is a widower. “The marriage must not be one of those silly love variety affairs." he said. "My wife and I must be chums, friends, neighbors, united in mental work. I prefer a woman whose temples are tinged with gray (he is about 50 years old). The gray hairs show reason, ex perience, knowledge and patience. I want a marriage of health. My wife should be self-supporting. She would have no special rights. "There must be no kissing, no holding of hands, no low gas—none of that kind of foolishness. These are my ideas upon my wife. T know 1 will be jeered at, but jeers are for all thinking men. "In the words of Ella Wheeler Wil eox, your countrymen are a barbarous race. I have Investigated them all, down and outs, low brows and high brows. Take your alleged New York society members, for instance. They just talk, think and dream money. A Nation of “Hot Air." “They are not gentlemen. In all my travels and Investigations, I have met but one gentleman in the. United States. He is a real estate broker In Buffalo and a most charming gentle man. I spent five hours in his home and during that time he never spoke about his business affairs or the affairs of other persons. "Here I called upon some of the busi ness men—husbands of the society women. I trlqd to converse with them. It was Impossible. The moment the conversation got going a third Individ ual would Invariably appear. 'Hello, Bill!' is his greeting, and Immediately your host starts a different conversa tion. You are a nation of ’hot air.’ “Yes, that is it—hot air. I know what it means. One of my ancestors was the Baron Munchausen, who used to lie so beautifully. Every one knew he told lies; so they didn’t hurt any body. He bragged aoout his wonderful achievements. Here you Americans brag about things you never did, and people believe you. That is the hot air.' ’’All Cast in the Same Mold." You American men and women are all cast in the same mold. You do not. travel and you do not observe. Why. our working classes abroad are supe rior ro your society. You know but one language, and when you travel you ex pect people in other countries to speak your language. You are ignorant. "Go to the theater or your best res taurants and see how the patrons act. Tn the theaters they talk and talk. They know n > better. In the restau rants they eat with their knives and use the tumblers as finger bowls, oh, yes. It’s lovely. "And you are a nation of gum chew ers. When your jaws are not going bragging about wonderful deeds, they are chewing gum. "No Southern Gentlemen Now." "And youi wonderful Southern gen tlemen. Well, I have traveled the South United States also. There are not any Southern gentlemen now. Twenty years ago there were lots of them. You money-grabbing Northerners have gone South, and you have ruined them. The young women still are beautiful, but that is all.” The count ended his tirade by ex plaining that he never fougttt duels, as does the Count Boni, and that if he does not find a suitable woman for a wife he is willing to open a school.* with numerous brandies, to teach the people of the United States deportment.
