PRICE'S NAME ON
BALLOT TWICE AS
SAFEGUARD
Candidate Will Be on Tickets
for Both the Full and the
Unexpired Terms.
William J. Harris, chairman of the
gtatc Democratic executive committee,
will send out an official ballot for use tn
the October election with the name of
p Price on it as a candidate for
both the full and unexpired terms as
eommissioner of agriculture.
Mr Harris will do this as a measure
nf protection to the Democratic party
in Georgia and to safeguard the office
against the possible ambition of Bull
Mooses or others.
The secretary of state. Philip Oook,
is of the opinion that the next commis
siotie’ of agriculture takes his office
immediately following the October elec
tion He says the law authorizes, the
~ ~. no: to appoint, in the ease of a
'...met. only until u successor to the
unexpired term can be elected and
qualified-
He ho’.<i‘ hat such successor must be
nlem-oi and qualifl'ul in October, and
vhoevet is then elected will hold
nffii i- until lhe following .lune, when a
new tnd full term will begin
Conner’s Opinion Differs.

hinl up declares that he can see the
law no "titer way.
C-immissionei Conner, on the other
ban., holds hat his appointment by
the governor will not expire until the
■jgisic ure meets in .lune and qualifies
s iccessor, and that, therefore, there
" ir be no unexpired term to fill in the
October election.
Chairman Harris, of the state con:
m ttee. feels that, however much law
yers may differ as to when Commis
sioner Conner’s term does or does not
expire, the Democracy will be making a
great mistake to take chances on the
matter. He says that if it should trans
plre that the, secretary of state is right,
and that the governor will be author
ized to commission the man named in
the October election, then the Democ
racy should see to it that Its choice —
which, logically. Mr. Harris conceives
Mr, Price to be—is protected by regu
larity in the manner of his election,
and that ft will be best to vote for him.
both for the full and the unexpired
terms.
The chairman, therefore, will have
Price’s name put upon both tickets.
Fear Bull Moose Might Slip ln.
On the official blanks already sent
out by the department of state the
name of Price appears only as a candi
date for the full term, but there is a
blank space whereon his name may be
written by the election managers in
making the official returns.
If the Democratic party had no can
didate in the October election and the
Bull Mooses did, and the Bull Moose
candidate received any votes at all, the
governor would be compelled, so the
secretary of state thinks, to commission
such candidate for the unexpired term
—i. e . from the date of the certification
of his election to the secretary of state
and his commissioning by the governor,
until the following June, when a full
term unquestionably’ begins.
1 hairman Harris feels that, in any
event, his direction of things can work
no possible harm, and if the law’ is as
Secretary Cook conceived it to be, it
unquestionably will w’ork much good.
There is some difference of opinion
between lawyers as to exactly what the
aw is. but the majority of them seem
to incline to Secretary Cook's view
of it.

Miss Grata Beddingfield and -lack, th- alarm dug. sliding
down the chute at Piedmont park lake. -Jack is every bit as
happy as his fair companion looks.
Sliding Down the Chute With a
Pretty Girl Is His Favorite
Amusement.
When they distributed gold medals
at the Piedmont park lake they over
looked one of the deserving attaches,
but he’d rather have had a bone, any
way. That was Jack, the alarm dog.
Jark is a fox terrier, the property
of C. R. McDermott, a life-saver known
to swimmers as "Mack.” Mack and
Jack are a team. Mack does the row
ing and swimming and Jaefc does the
looking and barking.
Not having eyes in the back of his
head, Mr. McDermott can see only one
group of going-down-for-the-third
time bathers. So while he looks one
way Jack sits in the bow of the boat
and looks the other way. Whenever
a swimmer leaves the shore Jack
jumps up and down and whines. That
means "Somebody swimming off the
starboard bow. Better take a look.”
Then, if the bather begins to gurgle,
swallow a gallon or two of unsterilized
water and try to shout for help. Jack
sets up a sharp staccato bark, which
means “Girl overboard. Man the life
boats." And then Mack goes over and
gets the victim.
Jack is some swimmer himself,
though he isn’t a water dog by birth
or breeding. His favorite amusement
is going down the slide In a bather’s
arms, and when not on duty in the boat
he capers around the chute and begs
piteously until somebody picks him up
and takes him down the slide Miss
Grace Beddingfield, one of the fair
swimmers at the park, usually obliges
him.

Charlotte. Aged 72. Well Most

BRUSSELS. Sept. 9.—After much
diplomatic interviewing and negotiat

once empress of Mexico, are being set

Belgium. Ptincess Charlotte is the
widow of Archduke Ferdinand.
Princess Charlotte, who has been in
sane many years, dives in the Chateau
Deßotn hot. near Brussels. She was the
sister of Leopold 11. After the death
of the king the Austrian’ court made
inquiries as io. the. administration of
her estate, with the result that an ar
rangement has been reached.
From the estate of Leopold I Prin
cess Charlotte* received $2.040;000. but
owing to the condition of her health
she furnished .no account as to the cost
of her’maintenance. e(C; The value of
her estate is now $12.500.00<T and the
larger proportion of this amount is in
vested in England.
Princess Charlotte is 72 years of age.
and enjoys good health. The fits of
mental illness from w-hich she has long
suffered are now rare.
The princess plays the piano fre
quently. but she can not be persuaded
to try’ a new composition and performs
only the pieces which she learned as a
girl In the evening she plays cards
tvlth one of her ladies in waiting, but
always in silence, and she is permitted
to win every game.
Princess Charlotte is careful to exact
the homage which she believes is still
due to her as empress of Mexico.

Vedrines Makes 104 Miles an
Hour in Contest for the
Bennett Cup.
CHICAGO, Clearing Aviation Field.
Sept. 9. —Flying at an average rate of
104 miles an hour and covering the
124.8 miles of the Gordon Bennett cup
race in 70 minutes 56.85 seconds, Jules
Vedrines today set new air records for
America. All American speed records
were shattered by the marvelous flight
of the Frenchman in his Deperdussin
monoplane.
Over the heads of a crowd that num
bered thousands, the French bird-man
sent his stub-winged, strong-bod ie J
racer. The exhaust of its 124-horae
powel engines sounding in a continu
ous roar like a battery of overhead
Maxims, was lost in the cheering of
the air fans as the machine swept
around the Clearing course The driv
ing of the race was daring in the ex
treme.
Keeping close to the ground and fly
ing pe fecth straight away, except at
I the turns, the Frenchman shaved the
course to the Very last inch A strong
wind sprang up that made it difficult to
handle the craft M the breeze fresh
ened Vedrines crept closer and closer ,o
earth.
Flew at 100-Foot Altitude.
Most of the race was tin at an alti
tude of not more than lOu feet and part
of the time it seemed as though the
daring aviator would strike the steel
pylons marking the turns, so close did
he keep to earth
After finishing .the race, when the
flag had indicated that the distance
was completed. Vedrines swung once
mo e rounJ the course, holding his ter
rific pace for 31 laps.
The time of the entire distance —31
lops - was 73 minutes 17.87 seconds.
Wien tl’.e Frenchman had checked
the speed of his racer and brought it to
lhe ground in a graceful swoop th»
crowd ihat had overrun the field in
spite of the j>:ecautions of the commit

"REMITTANCE MEN" HIT
Uncle Sam’s revenue on special de

increased nearly one-fourth, as a re
sult of the closing of the general de
livery window at the postoffice on Sun
day.
The exact increase was 22 per cent,
and the postoffice officials believe that
as the public gets more accustomed to
the innovation the sale of the ten-cent
stamps for delivery of letters by mes
senger boys will be more than doubled.
These letters are delivered on Sundays.
Under the orders received by Post
master Hugh L. McKee, only mail In
tended for hotels, news dealers and
newspapers is snrrted out, and this has
to be called for
No mail is put in the boxes from
midnight Saturday until midnight Sun
day This is a change from the firs:
Sunday’s plan after orders were re
ceived to close the “general delivery"
window on Sunday.
Clerks Are Overjoyed.
"Atlanta people appeal- to be taking
the change very philosophically,” sayi
I. G. Hart, superintendent of mails
"There were very few disgruntled per
sons at the postoffice yesterday and we
received few kicks. At least, they un
derstand that it is orders from head
quarters and that we are not responsi

Postoffice clerks are overjoyed at the
change, according to the superintend

with their families, and makes it a real
day of rest for them, for the first time
since they have been in the postoffice.
The usual force that goes on duty at
an early hour Sunday morning now has
Sundhy in which to rest, and starts

BAGON PREDICTS
I. R. WILL FIZZLE
Georgia Senator to Begin an
Active Campaign for Wilson
Last of This Month.
NEW YORK. Sept. 9.—Senator A. O.
Bacon, of Georgia, who was re-elected
to the United States senate a fortnight
ago for the fourth time, will begin his
active campaign work in behalf of Wil
son and Marshall the last of September.
Senator Bacon has been through six
presidential fights, but he says he never
entered one with as much confidence as
the one of 1912. The senator is leaving
New York for an ocean voyage, and
told Senator O’Gorman, of New York,
that he was going to take up the fight
for Wilson with ail the enthusiasm of a
first-time voter.
“It is going to be a downright pteM>
ure.” said Senator Bacon. “The con
test this year is one of education, and
the people of this country- are at last
awake to the real merits of Democracy.
"This third term movement is going
to fizzle out. It is nothing more or
less than a bridge by which the mem
bers of the Republican party will join
the Democratic party. There can only
be two great parties, and the Demo
cratic party can not die. It has stood
rhe buffetings and assaults of years.
The men who believe in Democracy
have never failed, and today they are
about to reap the rewards of their long
and tireless efforts.
"I am not sure but what Democracy
owes Roosevelt a vote of thanks. He
became dissatisfied with his own head
workers and has tried to destroy them.
In this he will fail, but he will drive
enough people out of the Republican
ranks and into the ranks of Democracy
to make the party of Jefferson the bul
wark of lhe coutitry.”
Wilson’s Old Tutor
Helps Collect Fund
One of Woodrow Wilson's owi
teachers will take the leading part in
the campaign of Georgia teachers t<
collect funds to help elect the New
Jersey governor president. Professor
J- T. Derry, for 35 years prominent m
educational work in Georgia, and who
as principal of a classical and Eng
lish school in Augusta, taught Wilson
for two years, has been named vice
president for Georgia of the Teach
ers' Woodrow Wilson campaign, and
Professor Derry- has wired his accept
ance.
Professor Derry said today:
"A nation-wide movement, the first
of Its kind in history, to enlist the aid
of the school teachers of the country
to elect Governor Woodrow Wilson to
the presidency of the United States was
Icunehed in Washington on or about
August 20. 1912, by the Wilson-Mar
shall Democratic association of tlie
District of Columbia. The plan has
the official sanction of the Democratic
national committee.
The question has been asked. -What
need is there for a campaign fund to
secure Georgia s vote for Wilson and
Marshall?’ In answer we reply that
the Democrats are not being backed by
the millions of dollars of the great
corporations, but are trusting the pa
triotic people of the entire Union to
furnish by voluntaiy contributions the
necessary funds for bearing the legit
imate expenses of a presidential cant
. palgn.
"It is. therefore, earnestly urged that
each teacher of Georgia, who is in
terested in the cause of Democracy,
forward one dollar to J. T. Derry, as
sistant commissioner of the Georgia
department of commerce and labor
state capitol, Atlanta. Ga.. to be used
as a part of the campaign fund.
"The names of all teachers con
tributing will be presented in an at
tractive form to Governor Wilson at
lhe close of the campaign. It is hope.l
that each one thus contributing will
make every letter of the signatur*
pl.iin and legible, without flourishes ot
any kind. Teachers of Georgia. I still
claim tite hono- of belonging to you
noble nrof- s- ion and will feel great
pride in a liberal t; sponse to the anpe il
thus made to you to eome to the help
of our whole country in this crisis of
her history.”
