WILSON TO SWAT T. R.’S PUUFOBNI Will Take Sunday Off to Pick Flaws in Document in Reply to the Colonel. SEAGIRT, N. J.. Aug. 16.—Colonel Roosevelt's threat to "smoke out” Gov ernor Wilson got a prompt reply from the governor today. Governor Wilson’s attention was called to Roosevelt’s statement that he proposed to pin the governor to an explicit recital of his objections to the Bull Moose platform. "It has always been found to be a very easy job to do that,” said the gov ernor. with a laugh. Governor Wilson says that he will take a Sunday off and go through the Roosevelt document. It may be ex pected he will give the colonel what he 1 calls for. The governor has come to no definite decision about going to Maine the first week in September. "My present expectation is not to go,” he said today. The pressure is very strong, however, and the governor may have to back down. The governor has accepted an invita. tion to review the Spanish war veter ans at their national encampment at Atlantic City on September 10. Presi dent Taft and Colonel Roosevelt will also review the veterans, but on differ ent days. The encampment runs from Septem ber 7 to 14.

TO PALE THIN PEOPLE Druggist JscoLs Offers To Pay For Samose If It Does Not Make Thin People Fat. t Pale. thin people are simply suffering from want of nourishment. They may eat enough, but their food is not prop erly digested and does them Samose, the remarkable flesh forming food, should be used by all who are pale, weak and thin. It mingles with ihe food and aids assimilation, so that when taken for a short time, nature will soon assert her normal powers, and the food that is eaten will give strength and good flesh. The woman who longs for rosy cheeks and the plumpness of beauty should use Samose. The man who wants to be strong and well and gain health and good flesh will find his de sires accomplished by Samose. Such remarkable results have fol lowed the use of Samose that Druggist Jacobs Is willing to pay for the treat ment if it does not give the desired re sults. Jacobs’ Pharmacy makes this offer generally and wants all who are thin, weak and out of health to get a box of Samose from Jacobs' Pharmacy on those terms. SEARCHINGSIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS Over and above mere politics and that sort of thing, the affectionate title of "grand old man of the Georgia legisla ture” has for many years been freely and ungrudgingly accorded Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb. Os two things Georgia has long felt well assured: First, that Joe Hill Hall is courageous to the limit; second, that he is utterly and unquestionably honest in his convictions and assertions. The gentleman from Bibb has been a member of the house for fourteen years. Only two men in the house that adjourned Wednesday were there when Joe Hill Hall entered—Speaker Holder and Byron Bow er. There is bond of genuine affection be tween these three, two of whom retire permanently from legislative work, the one to run for congress, the other for governor. If Byron Bower comes back to the house from Decatur county he will be the veteran in point of service. In Joe Hill Hall's valedictory, delivered Wednesday niht, during a recess that was taken in order that the speaker and some others might be presented with testimonials of esteem from the house, there was a note of genuine 'and touching pathos. The old warhorse of Bibb evidently was loath to say the partin words, albeit the parting of the ways had come at last. in broken sentences he assured his col leagues of his affection and esteem for them all. his tolerance of their opinions despite his occasional gruff manners, and he wished them peace and happiness and prosperity, one and all, forevermore, and all in words that carried no suggestion which was not profoundly sincere. There are a lot of people in Georgia who will not vote for "Old Joe,” as The Macon Telegraph lovingly and respectfully dubs him—but it is a sure thing that Georgia might go farther and fare much worse than "Old Joe" for the governorship. It's all a mistake about the governor’s efficient and red-headed secretary. Jess Perry, having been made a major by leg islative enactment recently. The honor was even greater than was at first thought, for he has been made a lieutenant colonel, and is entitled to wear shoulder straps adorned with silver rather than golden oak leaves. The legislature went pretty thoroughly into the military law of the state in the session just ended, and under the new order of things there will be a good deal of shaking and rattling of dry bones. The military committee of the house un dertook io make the state laws conform to the national laws, as they effect the militia of the various states, and also to dignify and properly rank all militia of ficers and attaches. The governor, being constitutionally commander-in-chief of the state troops, naturally seemed entitled to a military aid of high rank and standing. Hence the title of lieutenant colonel was legis lated onto’Jess Perry—much to the de light of his many friends. M’CLURE ELECTED HEAD OF NATIONAL 10 CT. SHOP LEAGUE (’. W. McClure, a leading "Bull Moose" of Georgia, and always a firm believer in "third terms.” is stronger than ever in that belief today, follow ing his election for the third consecu tive term as president of the National Association of Five and Ten-Cent Mer chants. The election came today at Indian apolis. Ind., where the convention has been in session for several days. On its close tomorrow. Mr. McClure will return to Georgia to take up the fight for the National Progressive party. He is the national committeeman from Georgia. H. L. McEwen, secretary of the Mc- Clure syndicate of five and ten-cent stores, was chosen as secretary and treasurer of the national organization, which is composed of the smaller mer chants and the syndicates which have formed the popular-priced stores over the country. CORN “PLANTED” FORTY YEARS AGO IS FOUND CAMERON. MO., Aug. 16.—An ear of corn in a fine state of preservation, known to be at least 40 years old. is the latest discovery here. J. N. Mfinsell found two ears of yel low com lying between the wall of a house on West Fourth street, now un dergoing improvements. The corn was covered by fallen plaster, and so was safe from mice and rats. The house was built by John Cross, an old German shoemaker, in 1872 Among other things found was a part of a newspaper printed in Civil war times. This rolled up in a paper bearing the advertisement of Isaac Havenor. groceryman. ALIENATION CHARGED TO WEALTHY WIDOW NEW YHRK, Aug. 16.—Representa tives of Mrs. Emily Ladd, a wealthy Brooklyn widow, now in Europe, char acterized as purely a piece of spite work a $25,000 alienation suit filed against her by the wife of Frederick Cocher, coachman for Mrs. Ladd. She was served with the papers as she boarded a liner for England. It was alleged by those speaking for her that there has been marital trouble in the Cocher family for a year and a half, and that Mrs. CoCher’s suit was simply a case of revenging herself on her husband. , FATHER OF TIPPINS BILL HAS OPPOSITION AT HOME BAXLEY, GA.. Aug. 16.—G. B. Tip pins, author of the famous Tippins bill and present representative of Appling in the Georgia legislature, has two op ponents—Dr. P. H. Connor, of Baxley, formerly in the state senate, and Dr. J. H. Carter, of Alma. While Mr. Tip pins has been serving his constituents in the legislature his opponents have been constantly shaking hands with the people and whispering alluring prom ises into their ears. Nobody attempts to prophesy the final result next Wed nesday, but all concede that it will be close. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FRIDAY. AUGUST 16. 1912. By JAMES B. NEVIN. Colonel Perry has figured that it will cost him just about a month and a half’s salary to equip himself gloriously enough to feel perfectly at home In his new rank. The hardest worked committee of the. house, and the least spectacular, is the committee on engrossing, of which Tins ley Ragsdale, of Talbot county, is chair man. To this committee goes for a final O. K. all bills passed by the house finally, and it is the duty of the committee to see to it that the bills go to the governor properly ■worded and ready to become laws upon the attaching of the executive signature. The duties of the engrossing committee are very exacting, and highly important— upon its work depends the future accuracy of the acts as eventually promulgated for public information. Under Mr. Ragsdale, the engrossing committee of the house made a wonderful record. Its w T ork was kept right up tc the minute as the session wore along, and the adjournment found it with relatively little work unfinished. By reason of his pre-eminence in the committee, Ragsdale has been closely con fined to the capitol for practically the en tire session, but his work has been highly creditable to him. That the Georgia School for the Deaf finally obtained the SIO,OOO it asked for a heating plant—an absolutely necessary thing—after having been turned down flat in the house once, is largely if not en tirely due to the work of Senator William H. Ennis. Mr. Ennis is chairman of the appropria tions committee of the senate, and Floyd county is his home. The Georgia School for the Deaf is located at Cave Spring, in Floyd county. So when the house turned down the appropriation, the neces sity of which Mr. Ennis was firmly con vinced, the senator got more or less mad, and he proceeded to read a few riot acts to a few persons. He went over into the house and inter viewed a few members wjto had appro priations pending before the senate, but who had opposed the appropriation to the Georgia School for the Deaf, and he spake unto those people, saying thusly: "Thou shalt have no appropriations be fore me, or my committee, unless you get busy, mighty quick, and reconsider that refusal to help along this school for the poor deaf and dumb children, hundreds of them orphans and many of them pau pers. I am a good-natured cuss, as a rule, but 1 swear to you. by the great horn spoon, that I will sit on the sena torial lid from now until adjournment, and through my committee on appro priations shall go not one bill until the deaf and dumb children are taken care of!” Whereupon. there was much hustling around and rushing hither and thither, and the bill was promptly reconsidered in the house, and the SIO,OOO appropriation was given to the School for the Deaf by a wide margin T. R. WILL MAKE FIRST CAMPAIGN SPEECH AT PROVIDENCE TONIGHT • NEW YORK. Aug. 16.—Colonel Roosevelt motored into New York from Oyster Bay today to start for Provi dence. where he makes his opening campaign speech tonight. Before leav ing the ex-president remarked that he felt fit. . “We’re in this campaign for the peo ple,” he said. “The bosses are on the other side.” Roosevelt will amplify his views on the tariff in his speech tonight, debat ing the Democratic and Republican platforms. MERCER CICERONIANS OUTSPEAK PHI DELTAS BLUE RIDGE, GA, Aug. 16—The annua! debate between the Phi Delta and Ciceronian literary societies of Mercer university was held in the audi torium of the Baptist Blue Ridge as sembly, w'hen the subject discussed was “Reserved, That a uniform Federal di vorce law is desirable for the states of the Union.” The affirmative was championed by T. Hoyt Davis, of Braselton, and E. M. Chapman, of Lithonia, for the Cice ronians. and the negative by R. M. Donehoo. of Atlanta, and A. T. Cline, of Cant' - " for the Phi Deltas. The af firmative won.

HEN HATCHES _ FdURTEEN CHICKS FROM 12 EGGS RICHMOND, MO, Aug 16—John Cochran, a farmer living several miles northeast of Richmond, in Crooked Riv er township, reports a phenomenon that is hard to believe. A short time ago an old hen on his place gave evidence of a desire to bring forth a brood of chickens and she was “set" by Mrs. Cochran. In due course of time the biddy had a brood of 14 chickens. This created some astonishment, es pecially as Mrs. Cochran is confident that she only put an even dozen eggs under the hen. She can account for the extra chicks only upon the theory - that one of the eggs produced three birds, or two eggs hatched tw - o chicks each.
