LABORER HAS 14 INCH
APPENDIX; DOCTORS
REMOVE 11; RE COVERS
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—The entire
I medical profession is watching with
I great interest the case of Charles Tit
-1 ley. a laborer, who had eleven inches
I of a fourteen - inch appendix removed at
I the Sydenham hospital. According to
I the surgeons at the hospital, the pa
jfient is progressing rapidly and will re-
■ cover.
Gast Tuesday night Titley. suffering
jgieat pain, walked into tile office of Dr.
| Luis P. Bernstein, the Bronx, who had
' him removed at once to the hospital,
i where, assisted by Drs, Sonnensceiti
.mi Amster. of the house staff, he per
formed the operation
' Aftei the first incision they realized
j that it was an unusual case. The aver.
age appendix 1- about three inches in
I'ength. In trying to get aj the end cf
this one they made cut after cut. Final
ly. after tracing- it for fourteen inches,
they came to the end. It had grown
upward into the region of the kidneys.
; It was decided that because of its un
usual length It might prove fatal to the
patient to remove it entirely, so onij’
eleven inches of It was taken out.
I'p to the discove-y of this one, nine
Inches was the record.

'SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS '
I ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The presence- in Atlanta of J. Max-
I well Gordon, field representative of the
i Democratic national committee, here XoT
I the purpose of
puipv-'C VI
arousing enthusi
asm for and get
ting signatures to
a mammoth peti-
I tion to congress,
I asking that hon
| orable body to
provide some !e
--i 6 a 1 method
whereby traveling
nren away from
home may vote in
national elections,
recalls the fact
that a movement
is on among the
traveling men o! I
Georgia to get.
from the state
IPB all ivr» ci iI r»
r
jams., r irevrw
legislature similar xfvim
legislation with respect to state elec
tions. ;
the traveling men of Georgia esti
mate that a heavy percentage of their
vote necessarily is omitted from every
ballot box opened in Georgia, because
of the fact that it is impossible for them
to go to their homes to vote without
great expense and loss of not to
mention inconvenience.
The traveling men feel that both
common sense and fairness should in
cline the legislature to furnish them a
legal method of registering their votes.
They think they should be permitted
to deposit their ballots wherever they
may be.
No men, as a class, are more deeply’
interested in politics than the traveling
men, and they are unusually well in
formed. Their opportunities for hear
ing all sides of public questions dis
cussed, In widely separated localities,
enables them to put two and two to
gether with accuracy and dispatch.
Moreover, they are directly affected by
much legislation enacted, and their de
sire to participate in elections is, there,
fore, particularly keen.
There is a plan being worked out now
among the traveling men of Georgia,
looking to the passing by the next leg
islature of a law enabling- them to vote
in all state elections, no matter where
they may be at the moment.
The manager of one of Rome's locker
, clubs, recently operating under such
color of authority as the state tax on
locker clubs gave it. wishes the Georgia
legislature never had monkeyed with
the locker club situation at ail. for it
has made him a defendant in two le
gal proceedings, each coming from a
different and directly opposite direc
tion.
t'nder the leadership of former Rep
resentative Seaborn Wright, the Law
, and Order league of Rome has closed
every locker club in the town.
I he Hill I’ity is lockerless and club
. less, and consequently extremely Sa
haraesque!
The manager us one of the clubs,
view ing the VA right process with gen
■ nine alarm, quit business, and denied
all members access to their booze de
positories. He felt snug- and safe in
that position, so far as the immediate
' present and future were concerned,
anyway.
Saturday, however, a number of
members went into court and petitioned
that the manager be forced to open the
- j locker club, and let the members liqui
' date, as the club is sanctioned under
I the law and. pending the court's decis.
| ions in the Law and Order league mat
| ter, the club, so the petition sets up,
has every right to keep open house.
The manager is now in the middle of
the worst fix he ever found himself.
He does not know whether to choose
the devil or the deep blue sea as his
refuge!
Governoi Joseph M. Brown lias a
watch of which he is very proud, even

This watch is of sojid gold, and was )
manufactured in Atlanta away back
yonder in the good old days, when At
lanta boasted one of the few watch
factories ever operated in the South.
When the governor bought this
watch, is was the fashion to wear
watches with heavy closed cases, elab
orately engraved. Upon the question of
I engraving the governor’s watth. he and
the manufacturers had quite a little ar
gument. the former contending that
nothing could be more ornamental to a
Georgia-made watch—on any othep
watch, for that matter —than the coat
of-arms of the state, while the latter
was strong for birds and laurel
wreathes, and ornaments of that sort.
1$ had no idea then, not the remot
est, that I should be governor of the
state' some day," said the chief mag
istrate today, disc-ussing his watch.
' but I had been impressed by my father,
the former governor, more than once
with the beautiful sigftfica’nce of that
coat-of-arms. He had explained to me
and all of his children the meaning of
every figure thereon, and nothing else
would suit me but that.”
The governor and Mrs. Brown, cu
riously enough, too, were married on
"Georgia Day”—February 12—only it
wasn t "Georgia Day" at all, then—and
they resided for years in the home of
an early governor of Georgia—Charles
McDonald, for whom one of the "war
governor’s” sons was named. The pres
ent governor wrote his first letter of
acceptance from that house.
if the governor were a Presbyterian,
he would think all those things were
foreordained, and just naturally hap
pened that way—as he is a Baptist,
however, he regards them as interesting
coincidences merely.
R. Usher Thomason, of Madison, is
an Atlanta visitor, which is an unusual
thing nowadays, even if it was a regular
weekly occurance some ten or twelve
years ago.
Mr. Thomason used to play the game
of politics with the best of them down
in .Morgan, and represented his county
in the house several times—in fact,
w henever the spirit moved him. He en-»
joyed—and still does—a large measure
of popularity, and at one time was!
chairman of the military committee of
the house. A ,
The former member from Morgan is
a retired colonel of the Georgia state
troops, having commanded for many
years the famous old Third Georgia. He
was a military enthusiast in the '9o's,
bur of late years has given up his war
like ambitions and activities for the
more prosaic- business of banking-.
"Atlanta always Ifioks good to me,”
said Thomason today, "even ifU do not
get here very often. 1 keep my. eyes on
the legislature, too. and Still have many
friends in public life, whose careers I
watch with interest, and frequently
with pride.”

WILL II AGAIN
Colonel Dady, Brooklyn G. 0. P.
Boss, Tells Atlantans Presi
dent Will Carry N. Y.
Colonel Michael J Dady. former tand
perhaps present) Republican boss of
Brooklyn, millionaire contractor and
father of the man who is building t!>
local sewage disposal plants, was -
town for the week-end from Cuba ano
declared that Taft would be the nex
president of the United States.
This is believed to be the first tiros
since the campaign opened that all At
lanta was not unanimous in the be H -f
that the next president of the Fnite.
States would not weigh over 25(1
pounds.
Colonel Dady came to Atlanta just
“on a visit,” he said, but probab'v to
see how his son. Chester A. Dady. was
spending the old man's money, if hs
found anything to displease him h»
didn’t show it. He was all smiles until
somebody mentioned Theodore Roose
velt.
Outside of This, T. R. Is 0. K.
■Jir. Dady remarked that outside ol
the fact that the colonel should br
hung, quartered, electrocuted or some
thing as the biggest rascal in the world,
he was all right.
Colonel Dady was very, very opti
mistic when he wasn't talking about
Roosevelt. He thinks Taft is going :.i
carry New York by a big majority. He
hoped—and was inclined to believe.
said—that Job Hedges would be the
next governor of New York, although
he admitted the strength of the Demo
cratic nominee, William Sulzer, and i
Bull Moose candidate, Oscar Straus
Dady relies on prejudice to defeat
Straus.
Just one admission the Brooklyn
contractor would make. He confessec
the Bull Moose were mighty strong in
Kings county, of which Brooklyn is the
county seat. Leaders in the Bull Moose
party this year include some of the
men who helped kick Colonel Dady s
old machine in Kings to smithereens
some months back.
