4 ALL EVES NOW ON VERMONT. OLD INDICATOR Election Next Tuesday To Be Watched With Great Interest. Five Tickets in Field. MONTPELIER. VT.. Aug. 27.—Ver mont will hold it- state election one week from today, and all eyes will be Centered on the Green Mountain state because the result here foreshadows the result of the presidential election In November. As an indicator state Vermont has not failed in more than a quarter of a century. Most Republican of all the Republi can strongholds, she yet maintains a danger line —a safety mark. That danger mark or safety line is a Republican gubernatorial majority of 22.000. In 50 year' —or ever since the birth of the Republican party—Vermont has never elected a Democratic governor. More than that, Vermont has never sent a Democrat to congress or to the United States senate. The Democrats have never won the state legislature. They had no representatives in last year’s state senate. And yet in presidential years when ever th< Republican candidate for gov ernor has got by with less than a 22,000 majority the Republican national com mittee has immediately headed for the tall timber, knowing full well that the genera! election of November would place a Democrat in the white house. This has happened twice, In 1884. ■ when Sam Pingree won the governor ship of Vermont by 21.850 in Septem ber, and the country elected Grover Cleveland in November, and eight years later whe.n Levi Fuller won the govern orship by 17,956 and Cleveland took the presidency two months afterward. Then Cleveland Lost. To strengthen the claim of the Green Mountain state as the best little indi cator ever it may be pointed out that in the big election year in between the year 1888 William Pitt Dillingham swept the state by 27.619 and Grover Cleveland lost the presidency to Gen eral Harrison Now. then, taking this indicatorship for granted, believing that figures never lie, you may write it in your little book to begin with that President Taft’s goose is cooked. For it is as certain as taxes that Allan Fletcher, of Caven dish, Windsor county, the millionaire picked out tfiis year to receive the gov ernorship on the golden platter of the G. 0. P., will not get 22,000 majority. Certain because for the first time but one in many, many years the G. <). P. in Vermont is up against a real fight, and there are five candidates in the field for the governorship. Republican—Allan M. Fletcher, of Cavendish. Democratic—Harlan B Howe, of St. Johnsbury. Progressive—The Rev. Frazer Metz ger. of Randolph. Prohibition—Clement M. Smith, of Morrisville. Socialist—Fred W Suitor, of Barre. Depends on Bull Moose. To begin with —and before going into the fact that Theodore Roosevelt, Gov ernor Foss. Dudley Field Malone, Rep resentative Phi] Campbell, Miss Ad dams. Eugene Chafin and many other stars will be holding Vermonters spell bound al! this week—it might be well to produce here the figures of the off year election of 1910: Republican. John A Mead. Rutland. 35.26.1; Democratic. Charles D Wat son. St. Albans, 17.425; Prohibition. Ed win R. Toole. Franklin, 1,044; Socialist. Chester K. Ordway. Proctorsville. 1.055. Governor Mead’s plurality in -an off year was 15,139. The Democratic can didate. Mr. Watson, polled the largest vote given to an out-and-out Democrat since the late “Brad" Smalley made the running, away back in the second • 'loveland term of 1892. Speaking broadly, the Democratic candidate of two years ago cleaned up about every Democratic vote there was in Vermont at that time. To do as well this year may mean that Harlan R. Howe, of St. Johnsbury. as splendid and as inspiring a personality as one may find in all New England, w ill come out of the contest a leader. It all depends upon the Bull Moose, and the Bull Moose knows it. Some of the Progressive? are so sanguine as to say that the contest for first place Is already between Howe anil rhe Rev Mr. Metzger TAKES A TRIP TO THE MOON TO LEARN Many Places Neared That Few Know Any More About Than That Remote Point.

SOCIETY MERMAIDS’ SUITS AS COSTLY AS BALL ROOM GOWNS NEWPORT, Aug. 27. —The season's wonderful record for the display of striking gowns at the'Casino, the golf club and the homes where epoch-mak ing entertainments have been given is now being enhanced by the flamboyant bathing costumes which th« women of society are wearing at Baileys Beach. The garments for the surf are as costly almost as those designed for the ball room, and the wearers change their bathing costumes almost as frequently as. they would for the tennis tourna ment. But the riot of color is the unique thing. Mrs. t'ralg Biddle appeared on the beach today in a silk bathing suit of canary hue, with silk stockings and satin slippers to match. A side sash of the same color and a turban, completed the costume. Mrs. Robert Goelet, her sister, was a mermaid in bright green. Countess Szechenyi made a brilliant picture in a suit all cerise. She brought it from Hungary. STOCKHOLDERS SUED FOR $145,000.00 TO PAY DEPOSITORS OF BANK MACON.

FLAG; DECLARE IT SAVED GIRL’S LIFE NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—With an American flag tightly grasped in her hand, Fortana Abravanga, fourteen years old, was picked up in front of her home at No. 79 Rivington street. She had been playing on the fire es cape of the fourth floor. On her head was the cap she had worn Saturday In the Olympic parade as one of the school children. Waving the flag to some of her friends below, she lost her balance and fell to the sidewalk. A doctor examined the child, but found her unhurt, except for a broken arm. A large crowd had collected about the little one. When the doctor announced the slight injury, a great shout arose, and the men rushed eagerly forward, tore the Atneriea/1 flag from her hand and fought to kiss the colors. They all declared that bad she not held the flag In her hand death would have resulted. Chamberlin=Johnson=Dußose Co. ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS An Early and Worthy Display of The New Fall Hats That this early showing of Fall Millinery should be the positively authentic forecast of the styles that you will later come to know well is due to the close connection of this store with the Estelle Mershon Shop of New York. Miss Price, who is at the head of the little shop in New York, has been back from Paris long enough to crowd our cases with the smart hats that Paris has approved for the fall. And, as usu al, Atlanta gets its first glimpse of what is new in millinery at Chamber! in-Johnson-Dußose Co.’s. No, we should not have said glimpse; it is more than a glimpse where every crys tal case of the department shows one model after model that women are sure to exclaim over. Indeed, there is much to be seen, from the viewpoint of quantity as well as of novelty—-the plush hats, the velvet hats, the velour hats, the moire hats, in black and white, in in moleskin; and, as for the shapes, the manner of trimming, they are, as one of the saleswomen exclaimed rather enthusi . r * " ■ ait. so easy this season!’’ She meant that YOU would like them. The Postilion Shape seems to lead. This is of very long line from front to back with rather low crown, either soft or pressed, which, pulled down close over the head and tilted just a bit, is charmingly smart. Another shape is a very large and a very flat sailor that is often trimmed wit h nothing but a large single rose or with what is called a “wet” ostrich plume—it lies perfectly flat and uncurled along the brim. Then there are new uses of large piquot ribbon bows and coques. But this is only a telling of the means and instruments that make the hats so attractive—their real beauty lies in the effect as you see it—and that is what we urge. Visit the millinery de- . partment, no one will urge you to buy, but every one will take great pleasure in showing you what every one there is proud of—-the new hats.

GIRL, 15, SUES ID DIVDRCyDI 17 Romance of Elopement Wanes When Young Husband Fails to Keep Wooing Vows. The pretty hoy and girl romance of Miss Ruth Glozier, fifteen, and Paul • "ay. seventeen, which saw its climax in elopement and marriage eleven months ago, had a sad anti-climax in the superior court today. Young Mrs. Clay filed suit for divorce, charging her husband hadn’t kept the promises he made as an ardent wooer when they liyed across the street from each other in Lampkin street. In fact, she had found Ifim to be so far from the ideal she bad pictured that life with him would be misery, indeed, and she asked the court for relief. According to the story of neighbors today, Paul Clay had know’n the little girl who lived just across the street from him for two years. Not until last May, however, did he fall a victim to her attractions. He had seen her in the neighborhood from time to time and had been to her home frequently. Then suddenly he made engagements with her. took her to picture shows >in j J other places of amusement. One day the girl asked her mother to allow her to marry Paul, but mother said "No.” The wooing kept on. Miss Ruth went to mother again and Mrs. Glozier offered her a new dress, a gold bracelet or anything she cared for if she would forget the boy. "But, mother, we have been married two weeks now,’’ she was told. Two weeks before the girl and boy had left home shortly after dark, saying they were going up town. They got a street car at the corner—but it carried them to Copenhill instead of to the city’s center. There they were married. The young people went to live with the bride's mother at 9 Corley street. But the young husband does not stay there now. A few weeks after they were married, so Mrs. Clay says in her divorce petition, she found her husband to be entirely worthless. He w'ould not support her, and after she had gone to work would take her money each Sat urday night. So she ordered him from the house. Now he is staying with his mother at 24 Lampkin street, and she is earning her own living by working in a candy factory. G. F. Cannon. The funeral of G. F.
