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.

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.

Insist on haring it. All good Greears sail it,or will g»t it for you. if it is not as accurate a timekeeper as it used to be. 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.” RUNAWAY AUTO HITS INTERURBAN: SIX DEAD FOR T WORTH.

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.
