Up In the grand old county of Gil j mer they are holding an election to- I day, as they are holding them through- I out the entire b.- IgF jxxßa & wn-urew state. for that I matter, of course ! —only in, Gilmer they hold them differently. Nobody seems to know exactly what is going to hap pen in Gilmer to day. however, which makes the situation extraor dinarily interest, ing. because the rule has been heretofore that everybody knew exactly what was going to happen several days in ativanc* that depending, in the main, upon which side of the pending con troversy had charge of the rather loose and reckless election machinery at the time. Some light is thrown on the situa tion i: Gilmer by the following illumi nating paragraph, picked, palpitating, from the current issue of The Pickens Progress, published in the neighboring gtand old county of Pickens: In Gilmer county we notice the Slick Tail" Democrats will have a full ti ket to vote for Wednes day against the nominees. The re cent Judge contest in that county doubtless caused this move. We are told there are three parties in that county - the "Simon Pure” Democrats. "Slick Tail'" Democrats and the Republicans. The difficulty In establishing the Democratic household on a lock in Gil mer seems to be the apparent hope lessness of getting the "Simon Pures” and the "Slick Tails" Into the same boat, and everybody pledged not to rock it! The precise difference het ween a "Si mon Pure" and a "Slick Tail" Is hard to explain, for while one seems to have no < orner on purity, the other seems equally to be shy of a corner on slick ness. Alternately, it seems, -the "Simon Pures" and the "Slick Tails" combine with the Republicans, and there is deuce to pay in the Democratic ranks! Since the big shakeup in the state convention. Gilmer politics has been a little bit up in the air. The Story that comes from there today will, there fore, be more than mildly Interesting.

Let me tell you that a Savannah man reserves the tight to wear a straw hat right along to New Year's day. if he wishes, and it is not considered anybody's particular business.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AXT) XEWS.WEDXESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1912. in Atlanta serves to illustrate precise ly what manner of man he was. When John Temple Graves ran for vice president of the United States a few years back, Georgia did not rally to him as generously as it might have done, but one of those who did vote for him was "Jack" Wilson. The night before the election Wilson was sitting at a table in one of the Atlanta clubs, and the election was be ing discussed. As .the conversation proceeded. Wilson made hfs compan ions a little speech, and this is about what he said: "As for me. boys, I am going to the polls tomorrow and vote for John Tem ple Graves for vice president; and 1 may say I am not. much interested in the election beyond that. I do not sup pose John expects to be elected, but I am sure he does expect old 'Jack' to vote for him. and I shall not disap point him. I don't know Sherman and J don’t know Kern, but John is my friend, and in Atlanta was one of my crowd. Friendship is more to me than anything else—and John, therefore, gets my vote. If you fellows want to pleas* me, you will vote for John to morro w." And'it is a fact that every man about the table promised Wilson he would do that very thing! Leonard, the colored porter of the executive department in the state Cap itol. has about as many friends among the passing throng as envbody In tire big building Leonard is an institution all within himself, and bv his alw.iv. polite and courteous manner has made it more or less unconsciously incumbent upon all visitors to pass him a pleasant word going in or coming out of Governor Brown’s office, as the case may be. Notwithstanding his Chesterfeldian air generally, however, Leonard had a terrible fall taken out of him recently, and suffered much undeserved but re signedly sustained embarrassment. A careless newspaper reporter, in mind wandering with respect to Lieu tenant Colonel Jesse Perrv’s grand and gorgeous new uniform, understood to re cord Leonard's remarks thereon, and ha put a lot t>f "dialect” and half-baked words in Leonard's mouth that never had been there, really, and that rang exceedingly un-Leonardesque. He bad Leonard calling Colonel Per ry "Cunnul.** and he also had him speaking of a certain piece of the Perry military regalia as a “bellyband!” It wouldn't have been so bad had not Leonard's Sunday school class got hold of it and called him down about it! His reputation for using correct and impressive English was fixed in the minds of that class, and it demanded to know what his “condition" could have been when he said those thtngs about “Cunnul” Perry and his military "belly band!" For the first time in many moons, Ijeonard failed to show up at Sunday school this week. "Embarrassment and chagrin so ob sessed my soul on Sunday, in retro spective contemplation of that calumny heaped upon me.” explained Leonard, “that I hardly had the courage to face my class. I am quite sure the mem bers understood that I never was guil ty of the assault with intent tn mur der the English language charged against me. but it occasionally is hard to elucidate the situation, neverthe less!" Governor Brown has undertaken the delicate task of interceding for the re porter who affronted Leonard, but he gave tin assurance in advance that his diplotnatic mission w ill be successful.

There's a man with all kinds of money in the Third National bank this week. In fact, he has about 10.000 kinds and hardly a piece of it would buy a sandwich. I'errau Zerbe. former president of the American Numismatic association, is in charge of the exhibit, which covers the basement and part of the main floor of the bank. His money is inclosed in glass cases and isn't easy to get away with, but everybody is welcome to take a look. The item which drew the most at tention today is the largest bona fide check ever written, paid by the United States government to the house' of J. Pierpont Morgan, for $40,000,000. This was given in payment for the Panama canal properties when Uncle Sam took over the work. The antiquity of the expression "one bone" is shown in the ancient money of the Philippine Islands, where neck laces of money made from the finger bones of beloved ancestors passes cur rent. There are coins of every precious metal, bits of glass and leather, tiny gold pieces weighing hardly a grain, and a great disc of copper as big as a soup plate and worth $4 when it was coined. 150 years ago. Os paper currency, most of it long defunct, there is enough to paper the Auditorium. There are notes from all the states and colonies, ancient paper currency of half-forgotten nations, bits of shin-plasters of the Confederate States. Mr. Zerbe is taking his exhibit through the country, stopping for a week in the larger cities. He will be at the Third National hank all this week, and there is no fee charged to see the exhibit.

Court Rules Georgia Can Not Levy on Telegraph Co.’s Federal Franchise. The state a attempt to collect taxes from the Western Union Telegraph Company for the years 1907 to 1912 on franchise valuations fixed at $950,- 000 has failed. Judge Newman in Unit ed States district court, following a recent decision of the Federal circuit court, has ruled that the state can not tax the Western Union’s Federal fran chises. The decision handed down by the court yesterday afternoon came as rhe result of an agreement between the state's attorneys and the Western Un ion, in which the franchise valuations of the company for taxable purposes were fixed at $350,000. Judge Newman's decision terminates five years of litigation. This action in Federal court was forecast when the circuit court, in reversing Judge New man on an earlier decision favorable to the state. held that the $950,000 franchise valuation included the company’s Federal rights, which the state could not tax. The state has been represented by T. S. Felder, attorney general; John S. Hart, former attorney general, and J. D. Kilpatrick. The .lawyers for the Western Union were Dorsey, Brewster, Howell & Heyman Stubborn Colds May Lead to Consumption Did you ever have a cold that would not let go: a cough that persisted, that prevented sleep and made waking hours miserable?
