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.

NE\V YORK, Aug. 19.—While Liverpool cables rallied after a weak start the cot ton market here moved independently at the opening, beginning I to 6 points under Saturday’s closing under pressure from spot room trade. Reports of rain over the Texas belt added firmness to the mar ket later during the early trading. With in a few minutes after the opening Ah - Eadden interests were heavy sellers and sold the market off 8 to 13 points in most active positions. After the call the ring crowd and commission houses were heavy buyers and through their aggressiveness prices rallied back toward the early prices. . , The uptown crowd and Waldorf interest were good buyers, which was thought to be short covering. Also large spot in terests were credited with buying at times, but were openly offering, ami through this heavy buying prices during the afternoon session quickly regained the early deciline, with prices 8 to 11 points above the opening figures. The market was given strength later, on report trial the eastern belt is deteriorating, while Texas shows some improvement. It is believed that the next two weeks will de termine to a great extent what the trade expects, and there is a hesitancy among the average trader io await further de velopments. At the close the market was steady with prices showing a net gain of •» to 8 points from the final quotations of Sat urday. RANC.E OF NEW YORK FUTURES. I c be bHi § I C. C co Aug.

Smith has receiv ed almost the unanimous in dorsement of the people who know him best. The closing of the For syth street underpass was a local issue, but it was an im portant one to the growth and development of this city. It was opposed at first by some of the strongest men in the legislature. It was passed only because the Fulton delegation had the ability to remove the oppo sition and the influence to get it through. Mr. McEl reath is the only member of the delegation seeking re-. pl ppf i nri WALTER McELREATH. Vote for John Y. Smith for the legislature. He will make a good conservative representative for Fulton county. BOTH PHYSICIANS I MADE SAME MISTAKE I'lac, Hospital in I’m-hlo.

The increasing feebleness of jthe old soldiers at the Sol- i diers’ Home demands better maintenance. In 1911 the (committee of which Mr. Mc- Elreath was chairman rec- ■ i ommended and the general -1 assembly granted an in i crease of _S2,SCO in the main- > tenance, ’and an appropria tion of $5,000 for building the hospital. At the pres ent session his committee se cured a further increase of $2,500 in maintenance and j of SI,OOO for furnishing the hospital. Take care of the ' I institutions of the county by ' I voting for McElreath for re ‘ election to the legislature. WALTER McELREATH. I John Y. Smith will repre sent Fulton county in the legislature as it should be represented. He is capable, , honest and upright. 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. SAFER THAN CALOMEL Dodson's Liver Tone at Night Will Straighten You Out by Morning. ’ Calomel May Knock You Out of a Day’s Work. if you at- a calomel user, next time you are tempted to buy it ask .your tlitigglst if he can absolutely guarantee the drug not to harm you.
