NEW POPULAR VAUDEVILLE . MAKES A HIT AT FORSYTH Popular vaudeville registered a hit at the busy Forsyth on Monday that meant everything to the future of the policy. It is the same kind of vaudeville Atlanta theatergoers have been paying to see for three years, with the simple exception that five instead of seven acts make up the bill, and that there are no big name headliners. There have been a number of shows at the Forsyth in the past that developed some little unknown as a star to make good for a high-priced feature, but in popular vaudeville every act stands alone. In the case of the opening of the policy at the Forsyth, the five acts were accorded a liberal indorsement. There are three excellent numbers and the other two are worthy. The attendance was large, in fact it was big. The matinee at tracted the usual capacity crowds, and at night the first show, starting at 8:15, was played to a capacity house. At 9:15 the second show was ready, and in less than two minutes the big crowd inside was ushered out of the theater by the buckle and Forsyth street exits and the immense gathering in the lobby and on the street was soon seated. The program opens with a selection of motion pictures unusually good The vaudeville honors were won by the De- Michalle brothers, musicians, who por.trav See The Monster Living Manatee Sea Cow Exhibited, beginning Wednesday. 21st, while resting enroute to New York Aquarium Educational and Interesting. Os especial interest to ladies and children at 165 Peachtree Street SOME LASTCAMPAIGN WORDS FROM HONORABLE JOE HILL HALL Macon, Ga., August 19, 1912. To the Democracy of Georgia: Mr. Slaton has been finally forced to publish a platform. All the good that is In it at all in Issue consists of what he appropriates from the views and poli cies I had been publicly advocating for months. For instance, to quote his platform aa abridged by himself, read as fol lows: "The projection of the state's credit. “No Increase in the state’s bonded Indebtedness.” It will be noticed, however, that Mr. Slaton does not propose to have the state to live within its income. As we will see a little later on, he proposes, on the contrary, an additional expense to be incurred “for the devel opment of our swamp lands,” which enterprise I will hereafter explain. How this expense is to be incurred without any increase of the bonded in debtedness, when we are already spend ing more money annually than we col lect, Mr. Slaton does not Indicate. Mr. Slaton says that he stands foiV- “The preservation of the Western arfc Atlantic railroad as a property for* the state,” and that he is opposed to— " Any movement that might endan ger the Western and Atlantic railroad as a property.” As there is no proposition pending or threatened to destroy or endanger this property, these planks would seem the merest platitudes. An explanation, however, may bring out their meaning If they have any. As is well known, the railroad cor porations in Georgia are in favor of the preservation of the state’s road, just as It stands, that they may continue the useful connections with It that they now enjoy. Mr. Slaton is the candidate of these corporations. They understand Mr. Slaton to mean that the present condi tions are to remain. Recently, however, on entering the race for the nomination, Mr. Alexander declared that he was strong!/ in favor of an extension of the staterroad from Atlanta to Savannah, not only because it would be a vital improvement to the property and to transportation in Geor gia. but because such extension was ab solutely necessary to the preservation of the property. . While Mr. Alexander lives in Deca tur DeKalb county, his law office and business and business interests are in Atlanta. He is strong with the Atlanta prohibitionists and other citizens In At lanta, and Atlanta is very ‘anxious to have this extension built and equipped at the expense of the state, because it would give Atlanta another and more direct route to the sea, and because it would enable it to invade for business purposes a territory now largely tribu tary to Augusta and Macon and other smaller cities and towns. The proposition is very popular with Atlanta people, and others along the line of the proposed road that would be ben efited but is not popular with the peo ple of the state at large. The masses of ihe people would seem to think that Atlanta’s railroad facilities and other advantages are sufficiently superior al ready, and that if they are to be in creased it should be at the expense of Atlanta and not of the people generally, most of whom would not be benefited and some of whom would really be damaged. It is estimated that the construction and equipment of this extension would cost the state about $70,000 a mile or about twenty millions of dollars. These two planks of Mr. Slaton’s platform are so worded that his friends who are in favor of the extension un derstand that he is also, while, on the other hand, his railroad friends give his words a strict construction and under stand him to mean that he is only in favor of the preservation of the prop erty and of a continuation of its pres ent use. Without really taking any position on the question, these two planks are the means adopted by Mr. Slaton to ward off the blows that are being given him by Mr. Alexander in Atlanta and along the line of the proposed road. Now, 1 am opposed to the extension of this road at the expense of the people of Georgia, simply for the) benefit of Atlanta people and a few others. Mr. Slaton says that he is opposed to “A too liberal use of the pardoning power." So are Mr. Alexander and myself, and so is everybody else. The question as to what is a “too liberal use of the pardoning power" Is left entirely open. In INfl Ma M ASHEVILLE, N.

SEA COW WILL BE EXHIBITED THIS WEEK There will be on exhibition at 165 Peachtree street, beginning Wednesday evening, a mammoth sea cow, or mana tee, the only living specimen on exhibi tion in the world. The creature is a giant in size, measuring 11 feet 6 inches in length, and having a waist measure ment of 7 feet 6 Inches. His daily diet consists of 100 pounds of hyacinths, cab bage and lettuce. This is an exhibition that every educator and student will be interested in Ladies and children are especially invited. The only meaning that this plank ha's 1b simply this: Many of the people think that the pardoning power has been recently abused, and this hook, even without any bait on it. Is thrown out to catch them. What Mr. Slaton has to say about the registration law and respect for the judiciary, etc., is upon the issues be tween him and Mr. Alexander, and I will only say on this subject that I am in favor of pure elections and a pure administration of justice, and of the greatest respect to all government and all law - . Now, as to the plank in Mr. Slaton's platform In favor "of the development of our swamp lands." Do the people of Georgia know what that means? 1 happen to know, and I will tell them. There are many hundreds of thou sands of acres of swamp lands in Geor gia, in the Okefenokee swamp, in all of our river and large creek swamps, and in the lands of people away from rivers and large creeks. It i s not proposed to develop all of these lands. That would cost millions of dollars. We have no funds under present conditions with which to pay the expenses of such de velopment, and would have to issue bonds in order to raise funds for that purpose, and saddle the same upon the present generation and our posterity. There are a number of people who have perhaps been organized into a synditfete and are interested in the Okefenokee Swamp. A movement has been on foot for some time to get. a state appropriation to pay the expense of drainage and development of this swamp in the Interest of these owners, and I have been opposing that move ment and have been bitterly denounced In the newspapers and otherwise for doing so. Now all that can possibly be meant by this plank in Mr. Slaton’s platform if tlie development of this private property at the expense of the state for the owners of the same, without devel oping like property elsewhere belong ing to other citizens of the state be cause. as I have already shown, the latter proposition would be prepos terous. The people interested in this move ment for the improvement of the Oke fenokee Swamp are to carry that im mediate section of the state for Mr. Slaton as I understand. We now come to a plank’in the plat form of Mr. Slaton that is very illus trative of the campaign that he has secretly carried on until, very recent ly, nanjely, he says that he stands for— “ The Improvement of educational fa cilities until every tow-headed child may receive sufficient education to en able him to successfully meet modern competition." 1 suppose that the expression "tow headed child” is used because of the tender pathos that it may be supposed to carry to the loving hearts of par ents. It is subject, however, to some criti oism. The original meaning of "tow" is a turf of wool, but perhaps Mr. Slaton did not mean every wooly head ed child. By “tow-headed child" he perhaps meant a child with soft whit ish hair; but why should the benefi cence of the state 1n the matter of education be limited to this class of children? Why should not all the black haired, brown haired, sandy haired and red haired children of the state enjoy the same advantages? Indeed quite a number of children ate born almost bald-headed and I do not see why there should be anv discrimination against them. And pray why exclude all the girls? Mr. Slaton proves true to his edu cation and instinct. He has been de voted to special interests so long that when he comes to deal even with chil dren he selects a few for favoritism and excludes the masses. To get away from this platform clap-trap and to become serious again. I will only say on this subject that I am in favor of doing all for the edu cation of all the children of the state provided for under the present consti tution and as it may hereafter be amended. 1 am very glad to see that while my friend Mr. Slaton has been ignoring my candidacy lie has at last conde scended to help himself modestly to the choice pieces of my platform; and that while my friend Mr. Alexander has seen fit to ignore my existence, he has made it a point to follow mv tracks as far as possible.

" num sons PRISON STRIPES Begins Five-Year Sentence at Milledgeville for Wrecking Cotton Mill Company. Broken in health and beaten in his two years’ fight fdr freedom, J. J. Mangham, of Griffin, surrendered to the Milledgeville authorities, donned prison stripes and began his five-year sentence for wrecking the Boyd-Mang ham Cotton mill. His brother, J. W. Mangham, sen tenced by the superior court of Spald ing county, to one > ear or 81,000 fine for conspiring with his brother to de clare illegal dividends, has paid his fine and will escape prison. J. J. Mangham was convicted of em bezzling $75,000 of the funds of Boyd- Mangham Company, and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. He was given one year additional for de claring illegal dividends. After a lengthy legal battle, which finally went to the court of appeals, Mangham lost every attempt to get a new trial. When thg court of appeals, a little more than a week ago, sustained the original sentences in every detail, Mangham’s lawyers finding no consti tutional peg upon which to hang an appeal to the federal courts, abandon ed the contest. On assertions made by his attorneys that Mangham was in ill health as a result of the strain of his two years' fight, the stale prison commissioners sent the man to the Milledgeville farm instead of the road camps.

Dorsey. | who is opposed for re-election by Mad ison Bell, is being credited today with considerable campaign cleverness for a card he has issued, refuting Mr. Bell's | claim to indorsement by certain mem bers of the Atlanta bar who are out spoken in the support of Dorsey. Dorsey, in presenting hjs original plea ! for re-election to the public, attached I the names of some 350 Atlanta attor- ' •neys as his indorsers and promised sup porters. Dorsey's announcement was followed soon by Bell's, and to the lat ter was attached many of the names appealing on Mr. Dorsey's original an nouncement. Dorsey today issued a card, signed by I these men whose names appeared on Bell's announcement, in which they say that they are for Mr. Dorsey, and only signed, under pressure, a statement that Mr. Bell Is a fompptent attorney. In his card, Dorsey also says he is i being supported by a vast majority of ’ the labor leaders in Atlanta, whereas, ' he says, Bell counts only three in I his ranks.

His Hearing Was Restored Veteran Musician Could Not Hear , His Beloved Cornet. Tells How Deafness Was Overcome, Below is a picture of Henry Farrar, a veteran who is a natural born musician, and whose cornet has helped in his career With the approach of old age and the in- I diction of various disorders, he gradually became more and more deaf until he could not hear his own cornet which he ’ had been accustomed to play on various occasions throughout the year. He also became harassed with those head noises which so often accompany the advance- I ment of deafness. This infirmity dis i tressed Mr. Farrar greatly. He is a man of activity despite his age—in fact, he looks much younger now than the 70 : years that he is. i i G 1 >. ./ The loss of his hearing was a sad mis fortune and the future looked very dark. Os course, Mr. Farrar had tried one thing after another; he had followed medical advice, had consulted specialists and had adopted various devices and remedies (spending much money), but all to no avail. He felt that he was doomed to end his life in that melancholic stillness which is dreaded by all who are inclined toward - deafness. ABLE TO HEAR PERFECTLY. Mr. Farrar has always been popular, and his friends were exceedingly sympa thetic, but even these kind sentiments did not appease his dejection. One day, how ever. he happened to learn of a simple and harmless home self-treatment, which he decided to try. He did not have much hope, because he had been disap pointed in his previous attempts. Yet in this case, to his surprise and joy, he found that his hearing began to Improve, almost immediately, and It continued un til he became so well that he has been able to do jury duty, listening to the var ious witnesses and the court proceedings. FREE TO DEAF PEOPLE. Mr Farrar is so delighted with the manner - in which he was liberated from the thraldom of deafness and head-noises, as well as the way in which his health was generally improved, that he is giving information about this wonderful treat ment to all who write him and will cheer fully send full particulars of how his own hearing was restored, also telling how others may get the same treatment It is only necessary to write to Mr. Henry A. Farrar, 151 B Washington Street. Han over, Mass., inclosing a stamped envelope for reply.

Let them consider the situation today! A census of houses in sixty cities discloses this as to four thou sand inmates. Five hundred were formerly garment-makers. Eight hundred had been rope-makers, milliners, laundresses, work ers in textile mills or shoe factories. One hundred and sixteen came from department stores. But the majority had never had work, yet needed to obtain the means to live. The Chicago Vice Committee gives thirty cases as typical. Os these, twenty-five had been working girls. Their average wage was five dollars a week. The investigator for the Men and Religion Forward Movement in Atlanta, a trained social worker, reported with reference to two hun dred and sixty-five of the inmates of the houses in Atlanta. One hundred and four of these had never had work outside of the houses. But before entering them, ninety five had been earning by labor an average of five dollars and a quarter a week. Many girls are trying to live upon similar wages in Atlanta. They are not in homes with parents. They are in boarding houses. Four dollars for room and board and sixty cents a week for car fare taken from five dollars and a quarter leaves sixty-five cents. If she returns to the boarding house for lunch, sixty cents more goes to car fare. Should she spend ten cents a day for lunch* down town, sixty cents must be deducted. In either event, Sunday finds her with five cents left for clothes, which she must have to retain her position, amusements, which she needs to keep health and sanity, and for saving against a day when she may not work, which will inevitably come. But the Houses in our Midst are open. And the girl must choose. Five dollars and a quarter a week, grinding toil from morning until night, and a cheerless boarding house of an evening on one hand! On the other, the promise of gilded luxury, easy idleness throughout the day, and lights, laughter and song of an evening, with an income of twenty-five to one hundred dollars a week! She who falls learns too late that these are living lies, false bea cons lit and kept burning, under the fostering care of the city of At lanta, by wreckers, to lure girls and women to destruction. Instead of luxury, she has degradation. Instead of receiving twenty five to one hundred dollars a week, she is never out of debt to her masters. With Atlanta’s approval she has been brought into a bondage worse than death. In Nehemiah’s day men whined, “Neither is it in our power to help it.” In our day, thanks to the liberty born of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, they know better! Right, the laws of God and of man, and the ballot are theirs. They are aware of their power. Atlanta should and will close the Houses in our Midst!
