The Taft people attempted to capture the convention. The Roosevelt men resisted. A fight broke out and the police were called. Before they arrived the rioting had ipread to almost every part of the con vention hall. In spite of this, the Roose- i velt chairman went ahead with the meeting and delegates were elected. Later the Taft men called a second convention and named delegates to the state convention.

ALA., July 24.—Joseph O. Thompson, collector of internal rev enues for Alabama and Mississippi, a Roosevelt leader in Alabama, upon request of Secretary MacVeagh, of the treasury department at Washington, to resign, re fuses positively’to do so. He has writ ten the secretary that the president has it In in his power to remove the col lector, and at the same time takes a hot shot at both the secretary of the treas ury and President Taft, characterising the administration of both as far from being a success. Mr. Thompson has been collector here for nine years and eight months, twice as long as any other man ever served in the position. His office has always been graded as No 1. Mr. Thompson, In his letter to Secretary MacVeagh. says that on two occasions he offered to quit the service, but the president bade him re main in office. Mr. Thompson is one of the most active “Bull Mooses” In the South, ami next Wednesday will be chosen as one of the delegates to the Chicago convention of the Roosevelt Republicans Illinois T. R. Men Oppose Third Ticket CHICAGO, July 24.—A sharp fight in the progressive state convention will be waged against the scheme of putting a third state ticket in the field in Illi nois.

Broad St. jSTU ART’S SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS Georgians seem determined to get some of their statesmen mixed this year, de spite the most strenuous endeavor of those who would have it otherwise. No sooner are the friends of Toms Fel der and Felder through with the untan gling of them than the friends of .John Holder and Horace Holden find it neces sary to warn the public that they are not one and the same person. A few weeks back Judge Horace Holden announced for congress against Thomas W. Hardwick. After remaining in the race a little while. Judge Holden with drew, and left the field to the present con gressman from the Tenth. John N. Holder, the speaker of the house, is. and has been for several months, a candidate for congress in the Ninth, against William A. Charters and probably Thomas M. Bell, the Incumbent. Holder has no thought whatever of re tiring from the race. On the contrary, he expects to win bls fight, and believes his fences to be in most excellent condi tion. When Judge Holden withdrew from the race in lhe Tenth, however, a lot of peo ple got it Into their heads that it was John Holder in the Ninth who had quit the race there, and the result has been no end of confusion and misunderstanding in that vicinity. The people of Georgia, particularly those of the Ninth and Tenth districts, should bear in mind that Speaker John N. Hol der, candidate for congress, and Judge Horace N. Holden, former candidate for congress, are distinctly two persons. Governor Cole Blease has been com pared to Abraham Lincoln. It Is only fair to say, however, that Blease and not Tom Felder suggested the alleged likeness. Miss Kate Edwards' splendid oil por trait of the late I’nited States Senator Alexander Stephens Clay, of Georgia, was unveiled with appropriately simple cere mony in the state capltol yesterday after noon. The greater number of persons who see It In the future will think more of "Steve” Clay, the man, perhaps, than of Senator Clay, the statesman, for it was as a man that the senator was widely beloved and respected in Georgia ‘ Combined with tremendous energy and willingness to serve his people, Senator Clay was possessed of much sweetness of character and gentleness of disposition. In the latter years of his life, when it was all too painfully clear to his friends that the finish of his distinguished career was near at hand, they drew very close to him. and many of them treasure now numerous tender recollections of those days when for Mr. Clay life’s shadows were stretching far. far Into the east. NEW THIRD DISTRICT COMMITTEE TO PLAN PRIMARY ON FRIDAY CORDELE, GA., July 24.—0 n sugges tion of Chairman O. H. Elkins, of Fitz gerald, that Cordele is the most con venient meeting place in the new' Third congressional district, the district Dem ocratic executive » committee will be convened at the Suwanee hotel in Cor dele at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, ac cording to announcement made here by Dr. A. L. McArthur, secretary of the coYnmlttee. Rules for the nomination of a con gressman from the district will be adopted at this meeting, and, judging from the many dissenting expressions heard, there will be considerable dis cussion over the adopition of the coun ty unit or popular vote plan for nomi nation. The new Third district embraces the fifteen counties of Crisp, Lee, Ben HUI, Macon, Schley, Webster, Stewart, Tay lor. Dooly, Sumter, Turner, Terrell, Randolph, Clay and Quitman.

Mooser to Oppose Hooper in Tennessee MEMPHIS, TENN., July 24.—Gov ernor Hooper of Tennessee, a Taft Re publican, will be opposed in the No vember election by a Bull Moose can didate, according to present plans. G. Tom Taylor, state treasurer and Ten nessee manager of Colonel Roosevelt, said today that delegates would name a full Moose ticket at Nashville Au gust 2. UNIVERSITY SCHOOL FOR BOYS STONE MOUNTAIN, GA. IctML UNIVERSITY SCHOOL FOR BOYS is a regular school where boys are taught, and not just compelled to attend classes. A school fashioned after the old style system of tutoring where in dividual instruction is given each student: where the finer attributes of a gentleman, not taught by looks, are inculcated; where a sound, healthy body is developed coincident with a broad, quick mind. A school where boys are transformed into men equipped, mentally and physically to take up Life’s duties or given a firm foundation on which to build their education in the higher institu tions of learning. This is done by limiting the students to 96; one instructor for every ten boys. More than Twenty percent, of the student body, each year, are brothers of former students.

Senator Clay and Senator Bacon, very different men in many ways, were de voted friends all the time. So many sen ators from the Same state do not speak, or scarcely speak, as they pass by, that the warm friendship of these two Geor gians was frequently a topic of approving comment in Washington. No man was closer or more solicitous of Mr. Clay’s welfare toward the close of bls life than was Senator Bacon. It was once said in Washington that the only real difference between Clay and Bacon was that Bacon was a I’nited States senator and Clay a senator from Georgia. And they made a great team, at that! "They say” there Is a growing cold ness between Hooper Alexander and Hoke Smith. Still, the wish may be father to the thought. Mr. Adams, of Hall, the world's cham pion heavyweight mover of the previous question, believes in expediting business in the house. He not only Is right there when the previous question Is clearly in order, but he proposes to have the house get on the Job earlier in the day than ft has been accustomed to thus far this session. Mr. Adams has a resolution now pend ing before the committee on rules provid ing that the house Shall meet at 9 a. m., Instead of 10, and he expects to follow this immediately with another providing for afternoon sessions. "The calendar is very heavy,” said Mr. Adams today, "and it seems to me we should clear it up; and the way to clear it up entirely is to begin work on the home stretch early. The house can easily add another hour to the morning session, and preferably on the front end. I think every measure pending should have con sideration, unless the member behind it actually wishes it not to come to a vote.” If Representative Alexander and Representative Hall should form a conspiracy of silence, one might al most hear a pin drop in the house of representatives now and then. Former Representsive G. Berry Hol der, of Floyd, was an onlooker In this Georgia Vienna today. Mr. Holder is being prominently men tioned as a probable candidate for the house from Floyd in the August primary, and it is more than likely that He will run. He Is widely experienced in legislative affairs, and has always enjoyed the repu tation of being a safe, sane and level headed representative. If he runs, there is little doubt that he will be returned to the next house. BLECKLEY COUNTY IS ON THE MAP; BARROW BOOSTERS DEFEATED This Ist a happy day for the friends of Bleckley county-that-is-to-be. but it Is a melancholy one for the grand young county of Barrow that isn't-to be. The senate committee, by a vote of 8 to 1, sent Bleckley county on its primrose path rejoicing. The house committee, by a vote of 8 to 14, sent Barrow county into the outer darkness and gloom of despair. Bleckley is to come from a large slice off the north end of Pulaski. Its county seat will be Cochran, and it lylll begin life under the most favorable and prom ising auspices. Bartow waS to have come from sec tions of Gwinnett, Walton and Jackson and It had one of the finest lobbies ever assembled in Atlanta to plead a cause. But politics—or something—got in the way of Barrow, and It has been indefi nitely postponed. The Liver is the Road to Health If the liver is right the whole system is right.

SMITH TO FORCE MONEGNOUIRY Georgia Senator Comes to Aid of House and Will Make Penrose Act. WASHINGTON, July 24.—The sen ate committee on finance is to be at tacked by Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and other Democrats who are coming to the aid of the house commit tee charged with the duty of investi gating the "Money Trust.” The refusal of the national banks to report to this committee or to submit their books to its inspection threat ened this inquiry, so the house passed a bill giving the committee as full in quisitorial powers as are lodged in the office of the comptroller of the cur rency. Until the senate agrees to this bill the hands of the house committee are practically tied so far as the national banks are concerned. The bill was passed in the house May 18, sent to the senate and referred to the finance com mittee, by which it was tucked away in a pigeon hole. Entreaties, cajoiing and threats have been without, effect on Chairman Pen rose, who refuses to give the measure consideration. Senator Hoke Smith, who cares little for the musty traditions of the senate, has discovered a method by which, un der the protection of the parliamentary rules of the senate, he may move to discharge the finance committee from the further consideration of this bill. Tliis motion is revolutionary and has rarely been used in the senate. The Georgia senator has entered such a motion and will make a deter mined fight to put it on its passage. It is believed enough Progressive Repub licans will vote with the Democrats to put it through and drag the bill from the committee. If that is done the in vestigation of the "Money Trust” wii! proceed. BAUER'S PURE FLAVORING EX -IRACTS have no equal.

July 24—Political Interest «in the contests of the Blue Ridge circuit is centered in the race for judge and solicitor, these overshad owing county contests. Judge N. A.

Clay, of Marietta, son of the late United States Senator A. S. Clay. There are five candidates for the two representatives from Cobb, but not much interest is being taken in this race. Gordon Lee, congressman frdm the Seventh district, has no opposition. The governor's race is arousing no interest.
