They will admit younger girls from the country who are coming to the city and ask foi shelter and pro tection of the association. Formerly the directors held that women of 30 were young. They have altered their rule, they explained, be cause of the heavy demand on them for accommodations. The demand of young girls coming to the city can not be dis regarded. “There is nothing for it to do but to ask the older girls to leave. Unless we had some age limit rule we would soon be running an old ladies home here,” one of the directors explained.

Judge A. \V, Fite declared him to be a "nice, clever fel low but “not fit to he governor be cause he is president of a locker club which violates the law.” He said he be lieved every officer, if not every mem ber. of a locker club should be Indict ed a< a blind tiger.

Rus sell and Ben Hill should not serve on the court of appeals, he declared, be cause both are members of locker clubs. “The criminal rich and the criminal poor,” he said, “are endangering the country.

COURT DOCTORS FEAR FOR KAISER Emperor Compelled to Abandon Plans Physicians Think Ill ness May Grow Worse. • BERLIN Aug. 27. Dears over the condition of Emperor William are growing, and a bulletin from the phy sicians in attendance was anxiously awaited in all circles today. Contin ued announcements from the kaiser’s bedside that the indisposition is slight, amounting only to a cold and a touch of muscular rheumatism, had been re ceived with credence by the general public, but wore skeptically viewed in court and diplomatic circles. This doubt is strengthened today as tip* result of an announcement of Count EiUenberg, chief marshal of the impe rial court, the emperor w ill have to abandon all his engagements for this week and give himself entirely over to rest. The proposed trip to Switzerland, | which was scheduled to start on Sep tember 2. is now expected to be can | celled, despite the announcement made 24 hours ago tiiat the emperor was de termined to go. Neck Stiff, Tonsil SwoNen. The first description of the kaiser's •ondition was contained in Count Eu lenberg’s statement. The trouble con sists of feverishness, chills and swell ing and stiffm ss of muscles on the right side of the neck. An examination show od that the right tonsil was swollen to twice its normal size, while the glands were so stiff that the emp» ior could not turn his head. The feverish symptoms went down, and the swelling in the throat abated somewhat. but the miisdrs still remain so stiff that movement of the head and neck is hampered. Attending doctors are said to fear that these symptoms are but precursors of more alarming maul fest at ions. While her own health is not satisfac tory, the empress is giving the em peror personal attention. She and Princess Victoria Louise remain at the bedside almost constantly. The kaisei is in the imperial castle at Cassel, Hesse Nassau. McNEIL CANDIDATE FOR SENATE "PRO TEM" PLACE FORSYTH, GA..

EXTRA] 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE P^ R l° HARD FIGHTS OVER STATE DEADLOCKS ATMACON State Convention in Macon To morrow Will See Strenuous Battle for Judgeship. ADOPTION OF PLATFORM MAY CAUSE HOT DEBATE Price-Blalock Compromise Ex pected To Be Solution of Soil Commissioner Fight. Th? state Democratic convention tvHtl assemble tn Macon tomorrow morning at li» o'clock to declare the results of the late state primary and dispose of such other business as may come be fore It. This convention will be one of ths most interesting in the party’s history in Georgia. It will nominate a governor by a practically unanimous vote, but will have to hear two warm contests and adopt a platform, over which there may be softie strenuous disputing. The most unique and interesting mat ter to come up for settlement by ths convention will he the Broyles-Pottle tie for the court of appeals. Convention Alone Has Jurisdiction. Pottle’s friends will insist that ha should have the nomination, notwith standing the tie in the unit, vote, be cause Pottle has a majority of the pop ular vote. Broyles’ supporters will not readily admit the justice of that claim, but will insist that the contest be held within technical limitations—l. e., tho county unit vote. Tile convention alone has Jurisdic tion over this matter now. lite Brown Price-Blalock commis sioner of agriculture race also will be a hard nut for the convention to crack. There Is talk of both a Blalock-Price combine and a B|alo< k-Brown combine. Old Gilmer County Squabble Up Again. The best bet seems to be a Price- Blalock compromise, although ill par ties to this fight insist that tin y are standing pat. Then the convention will have 'r» wrestle with the old reliable, biennial Gilmer county nn ss. I hi- contest comes before* the state convention every time* it assembles, and, has come to lie something of a stencil in the nostrils of a number of people. I here is vigorous talk of washing this dirty linen clean this time, but whether It wtjl amount to more th in talk in the finish remains to be seen. 'I lie c hairmanships, permanent and temporary, have not been framed up, but it is probable that the afternoon and night in Macon will see all that cut and dried for tomorrow's big show. SURGERY TO PREVENT PROCREATION OF THE MENTALLY DEFICIENT ALBANY. N Y., Aug. 27.—Governor Dix has announced appointment of a board of examiners for feeble-minded criminals and other defectives.
