4 SLATON TOD BUSY TO TAKE STUMP President of Senate Still En gaged at Capitol Signing Bills Sent to Governor. John M. Slaton, president of tho sen ate and candidate for governor, «till is regular in hia visits to th* capital as he was prior to th* legislature's ad journment Wednesday, The law gives the governor fiK e days after adjournment in which to read and consider all bills passed, and the senate and house both authorised the engross ing committees to remain in session five days after adjournment, in order to get the legislative enactments to the executive in proper shape and form. As the signature of the president is an in dispensable attachment to every bill sent to the governor. President Slaton remains constantly at the capitol, and a« the various engrossed bills are pre sented to him, he signs them promptly • and immediately has them transmitted tn the executive department Mr Slaton, by reason of his legisla tive duties, has been able of late to devote practically none of his time to his campaign He announced in the be ginning of his fight that he would not permit politics to interfere with his leg Illative duties, and ft is recalled that he purposely declined to leave Atlanta the day after th* Tippins bill passed although the senate was not in session that day. because he wished to be able to sign the bill promptly upon its en grossment, and send It along to the governor. Had Mr Slaton desired to play politics, he might have delayed his signature to the Tippins bill until after the final date for gubernatorial entries, and thus have headed off one of his op. p<>nents at least M’ELREATH FOUGHT BY UNION; DIDN’T AID NEGRO FIREMAN BILL H. O. Teat, chairman of the hoard of directors of the Brotherhood of Lo comotive Engineers and Firemen, in a statement today opened a fight against the re-election of Representative Wal ter McElreath, of Fulton county, be cause of his attitude on the negro fire man bill. He charged that when the measure pending in the last legislature Me- Elreath not only declined to aid its passage In any way, hut at all times Indicated opposition. His statement declares that the rep resentative refused to discuss the measure with representatives of or ganized labor hut did take it up with railroad officials and lobbyists. It calls attention to the fact that Mr. McEl- ' loath introduced a bill providing an appropriation for the education of ne- ; groes. FIRST SEA ISLAND BALE SOLD. SAVANNAH, GA Aug 19.—The first i bale of Georgia sea Island cotton sot ) the season of 1912-13 has been received ' and sold before the entrance of the Cot ton Exchange The offering brought 27 cents a pound CARE OF THE TEETH IMPORTANT TO HEALTH Without perfect teeth one can not ' enjoy perfect health. Decaved or im- ; perfect teeth are not only painful and continuously annoying, but a positive menace to health and even life. Do not neglect your teeth. Upon the first sign of decay have them treated and save suffering Or, if the teeth are already tn bad condition, have them at tended to at once. The modern scientific painless meth ode In use by the Atlanta Dental Par lors rob dentistry of its former terrors, and the moat difficult operations are performed quickly and without pain. This handsome establishment is lo cated at the corner of Peachtree and Decatur streets, entrance at 19 1-2 Peachtree. ••• The times demand men in public life who can do things. Walter McElreath’s work for the School of Tech | nology—the pride of Geor gia and the especial pride of Atlanta and Fulton county —puts him in this class. In 1909 he led the fight and made the speech on the floor of the house which secured an increase of SIO,OOO in maintenance. In 1910 he led the fight which secured the appropriation for the new shop building. Largely through his efforts increases of $5,000 in maintenance were secured in each of the years 1911 and 1912. State aid has encouraged private gifts and the school has grown in the past four years from a comparatively small institution to one of the greatest technical schools in the country. WALTER McELREATH. Why is it that the people of Fulton county indorse John Y. Smith for the legisla ture? It is because they recognize his uprightness and ability.

BY MAYSON TO THE VOTERS OF GEORGIA: When Sergeant Jasper leaped over the breastworks and rescued the American colors, the public applauded, and he was tendered immediate promotion. Now, there can be heroic service for the country in -peace as well as war. I happen to know that Nash Broyles, as Recorder of the City of Atlanta, is as verily a hero in that he has fearlessly performed the duties of a difficult position in the face of and against daily threats and constant dan gers to self and family. Surely, if rewards are given for high service, his ambition to serve upon the Court of Appeals should be gratified. Judge Broyles is a graduate of the law department of the University of Georgia, practiced law in Atlanta for years; has,served as Recorde 5 ’ for a number of years and, during this time of service, has tried all kinds of cases and, in many instances, questions of very high constitu tional character. His decisions have almost uniformly been approved. They have been passed upon by the judges of the superior court, of the court of appeals, of ; the supreme court and of the supreme court of the Unit ed States. Surely, this gives a wide range of investiga tion and fits a judge for service in one or the other of these high courts. A majority of the cases passed upon in the Court of Appeals, to which court Judge Broyles now aspires, deals with criminal cases. Judge Broyles is peculiarly prepared to pass upon these readily, fairly and correct ly. Indeed, service of this high character would be not only very congenial, but would offer an opportunity to him for the exercise of the fund ’of experience and knowledge he has gained during his service in his pres- 1 ent position. Besides, such an elevation would be according to the i rule announced by Him who was at once the wisest and the best: “Thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler o.ur many things.’’ I felt that someone of our citizens should bear testi mony to the high character of Judge Broyles. It oc curred to me that possibly by reason of my long serv ice with him I could best do this, and I have done so in the hope that, when the attention of the voters is called to the man’and his desert, they will give him the approval of their ballots. He deserves it, and his election will be not only a compliment to himself but a compliment to the electorate of Georgia, for it would show* that they i still believe in the enforcement of the law, and that they approve a judge who enforces the law in the face of ail kinds of criticism, threats and danger. Judge Broyles has no knowledge of this publica tion; it is written by a friend, of a friend, to friends. JAMES L. MAYSON. I EX-SOLICITOR DEAD. COLIMBI.'S. GA, Au«. 19 A.
