Representative Allen is urging ' a resolution for the sale of the man sion at puhlh auction for a sum not ft less than s49o,nna. if this plan falls, r. Allen wants to lease the mansion to the I B. M.

It is evident that the Copeinn plan ♦e swap for the Peters tract atW a boot , of $100,n0,, will receive consideration in r the senate and may pass, but the rules committee of the house has failed as yet to listen to Allen.

Al so on Neck and Chest. Itching Intense, Pain and Burning. Cuti cura Soap and Ointment Cured. Morrison, Tenn "For one year I suf fered from a very severe attack of acne or pimples, accompanied by eczema. It flrst ' showed itself by the formation of small red, m rather hard pimples which j* ** were not only disfiguring to k, yl T the face, but were painful. They also appeared on my /V —;'Ny. neck and chest. Their ftch , ~T I big was often so intense as > ’t to cause insomnia, and they very often caused pain and burning. I tried several so called ‘sure cure' remedies, but they did little or no good. Several months ago I heard of Cuti cura Soap and Ointment and wrote for a * sample. r "I found them so soothing that. I at once purchased a twenty-fivo cent cake of , Cuticura Soap. and a fifty cent box of ' Cuticura Ointment. 1 used the Cuticura Soap and OinHuinnt as follows: First open some of the pimples, bathe with warm water and Cuticura Soap, dry and smear t lightly with Cuticura Ointment. Let this t remain on tor about five or ten minutes, then wash off with hot water and Cuticura Soap After using them for about, a month, all of the itching and the pimples had en tirely disappeared."

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS! By JAMES B. NEVIN. I i William H. Fleming has withdrawn | from the race for congress in the Tenth 1 district, and thus insures Mr. Hard ■ wick s unopposed return to Washington |as liis own successor. i In withdrawing, Mr Fleming gave to | the public a particularly frank, lucid land manly card. He found that it I would be impossible to continue his | fight without intensifying the bitterness [already rampant throughout his dis ' trict. In retiring he seeks to deliver a , message of peace and good will that • should, and doubtless will, commend him most cordially nnd sincerely to the high esteem and respect of his con stituents. In his card Mr. Fleming pays a re ' markable and splendid—and deserved tribute to Tom Watson. He and Wat son were for years the most implacable of enemies—Watson. Indeed, was the direct influence that removed Fleming i from congress just when his career was rounding into its finest form. During all these years of retirement Fleming has asked no quarter of his enemies. He has held a dignified silence, and trusted time to right the wrong of the long ago. When recently Watson, of his own accord, came to Fleming and asked forgiveness for the injury of the past and sought to right it in such measure as he might, it touched a tender spot in Fleming’s heart, and he responded to the advances of the "red-headed one,” and agreed to let bygones be bygones. , William H. Fleming i« one of Geor gia’s brainiest and soundest men. He deserves much more than he ever has received. Georgia. would profit by Fleming's presence in congress, and , thousands of Georgians would have been pleased to see him returned. However that may be and some will , view It one way, the while others view it another -it will seem to many that Mr. Fleming’s recent brief participa , lion in the politics of the Tenth was worth while, after all, for it has cleared up the atmosphere down that way. in a measure—and that was something worth the trouble of doing. In retiring. Mr. Fleming takes high and dignified ground. He gets out gracefully, and with added prestige. It costs a pretty penny to play the game of politics nowadays, anyway you look at it. One would think that so high and mighty an office as United States sena tor, with all of its groat dignity and so forth, might be sought with compara tively little expense—if one were ear - less in his thinking—but It is not so. It costs to be a senator—even to ask to be made a senator. Colonel H. H. Ferry, who aspires io Senator Bacon's seat, has filed an ex pense account of $4,058.61, and the items scheduled cover traveling ex penses and publicity only—perfectly legitimate and necessary expenses,’ Senator Bacon lias spent about half as much. They framed tip a smooth trick on the Honorable Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, in the house of representatives Mon day. The gentleman from Bibb, as all the world knows, is a candidate for gov ernor. and lie spent all last week stumping South Georgia. Inevitably, in those circumstances, he was conspicu ous by his. absence from the house. j "Old Joe Hill Hall had no business being away from here last week," said a member yesterday morning, "and there are a number of things up that he should have taken a stand on—l even think he may have been dodging here, rather than speaking yonder. 1 am go ing to fix him, 1 am going to ask the rules committee to fix it so that mem- I hers will be refused permission to ex plain their votes —that will get the old man, for if the house refuses him per mission to explain, he will explain every vote he casts, in spite of the warm place and high water!” And the thing was fixed so that mem bers could not explain their votes —and true to prediction. Joe Hill Hall ex : plained every vote he east under the operation of the rule, in the teeth of the house and despite its most stern decree. When the gentleman from Blpb starts i out to explain oi protest, all the rules ' THERE IS DANGER IN NEGLECTING THE TEETH > ~r I .Without perfect teeth one can not 1 enjoy perfect health.

Mr. Newsome, of Glascock, delivered an eloquent oration In the house Mon day. favoring the repeal of the pestifer ous dog tax in Georgia. The gentleman was unusually elo quent, and evidently very much in ear nest. in fact, it was painfully appar ent that the failure of the legislature to repeal that tax would hurt Mr. New some's feelings tremendously, and might drive him to strong drink. Inquiry of Mr. Newsome as to why the thusness of his oratorical flight brought forth the candid and entirely ready response. "Why, the repeal of that tax was a direct, pulsating and paramount i.-sui r in my fight to get to this house, and I was in honor bound to stand by my platform and my peo ple or bust!” Professor W. O.

CHURCHILL ESCAPES SUFFRAGETTE “MOB” BY SPEEDING UP CAR LONDON, Aug. 13.—First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill was today "held up" by suffragettes while automobiling toward Sandwich. Mr. Churchill's car suddenly was sur rounded by women on bikes, who had apparently followed from London. They began to shout "Votes for women!” Deeming flight advisable, Churchill, disregarding the chauffeur's fears for the women, gave orders for full speed ahead, and the car sqpn outdistanced the women, who were soon winded by their furious pedaling and their contin ued screams of "Votes for women!” One suffragette was knocked from her wheel when the automobile started, but no one was hurt.

Aug. 13.—The sub committee of the senate committee in vestigating campaign expenses will call former Governor Odell of New York. It was Odell who obtained from E. H. Harriman the famous contribution of $250,000 for the Republican party. The decision to call him was reached today after Representative James T. b loyd, of Missouri, of the Democratic congressional committee’in 1908, had testified. Representative Lloyd told the committee that the contributions for that year amounted to about $27,000 and the expenditures were within a few dollars of that amount. He recalled that $7,000 was obtained through the sale of campaign litera ture, $1,6000 of which came from Charles E. Keane, of New York, for speeches which he wanted distributed, and $1,395 from the sale of the cam paign hook which was compiled from The Congressional Record. From the house of representatives, in sums ranging from $25 to S2OO, Mr. Lloyd said a total of $6,750 was ob tained. Only two of the representa tives, however, contributed S2OO. They were Champ Clark and Francis Burton Harrison, of New York. Through the late Senator Jones, of Arkansas, there was contributed a to tal of $3,500, and from Hermann Rid der, of New York; W, G. Conrad, of Montana, and R. F, Daniel, of Ken tucky, contributions of $250 each were received. The delicious navors of the best fruit and more economical. SAUER'S EX TRACTS ALL FLAVORS.

MEN AND RELIGION BULLETIN NO. 12 “The Houses in our Midst” “The Man Higher Up” The “man higher up’’ may not be known. He need never be seen. Annas, of Jerusalem, was pastmaster of the art. Politicians were alarmed. But Caiaphas, mouthpiece for Annas, said: “Ye know nothing at all—it is expedient for you that one man die.” And they dragged Jesus to Pilate, the Roman official. “I find no crime in Him,” said the Roman. Annas, unseen, here struck with the club of practical politics. His heelers roared, “Crucify! Crucify! If thou release this man thou art not a friend of Caesar!” Loss of office, vanishing graft loomed horribly before Pilate. Throttling conscience and law, he sent Jesus to the cross. Simply a tool in the hands of Annas, the wretched man, like An nas, thought only that he had overcome another obstacle by practical expediency, the sacrifie of one who had neither friends nor influence. They saw not higher up, above all, God! Father forbid that we be so blind! “What is this history of Fantine?” asked Victor Hugo. “It is society buying a slave.” “From whom? From misery.” “The sale of a soul for a bit of bread.” Mouthpieces sneer, “You know nothing at all; it is expedient that some girls fall that many may be pure.” “Whited sepulchers” poison the air with their expediency. And without Pilate’s battle with conscience, public officials are saying, “Neither laws nor morals justify the houses; their sacrifice of girls is frightful; but it is expedient we have the houses in our midst.” The pressure of unseen “men higher up” is felt. Sepulcher-born expediency finds utterance. Hear it! “Mothers bid your daughters be pure! “But forget that more than forty-four houses, dependent for ex istence upon making girls impure, wait for them with open doors! “Officers touch not our landlords and the men living by buying and selling women! “But arrest yonder little street walker; slaves may not be seen out of bounds! “We have provided a district, a public market place, where the select may buy and sell. “Efficient policemen patrol it. “These will see that spenders and buyers suffer no harm at the hands of our white slaves.” Surely God, above all, has been forgotten! Will we—shall bur city endure the continuance of this unspeaka ble shame? In Christ’s Name, No! Atlanta should and will close the houses in our midst.
