Decayed 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 in bad condition, have them at tended to at once. The modern scientific painless met It ods in use by the Atlanta Dental Par lors rob dentistry of Its former terrors end the most difficult operations at. 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 j 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. 1 CHICAGO BAR WILL PROBE MEMBER FOR BETRAYING DARROW ''HICAGO. Aug 19. —An investiga i tion <>f the connection of John R Har rington.

A WORD FOR BROYLES 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 Recorder 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 cf 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 ent position. Besides, such an elevation would be according to the 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 over 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 nossibly 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 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. EX-SOLICITOR DEAD. COLIMBUS. GA, Aug 19.—A.
