Muscogee county, where Ed Wohl
wender, of senate bill 98 fame, lives

county of the
state.
Colonel Philip
Cook has waded
far enough into
the state election
returns to know
that Muscogee is
entitled to that
honor and dis
tinction, beyond
the shadow of a
doubt.
The Socialists
rounded up 69
votes in Musco- I
gee, and that is
pretty fair, when
It is further un
derstood that in
more than half the counties in Georgia
the candidates of that party got no
votes at all.
The impression in Secretary Cook's
mind Is that the Socialists did not
make as brave a showing this time as
they did last.
He has not yet cons 'ldated the re
turns from the entire state, but it
looks as if the total Socialist vote is
to fall well below 300; and that party
had hoped to establish a new high wa
ter mark in Georgia this time.
Muscogee county, by the way, will
have in the next house of representa
tives three members, Instead of two.
as has been the rule heretofore. Un
der the new apportionment, Muscogee
becomes one of the "Big Six" counties
for the first time in its history. The
others of the "Rig Six,” of course, are
Fulton, Rfbb, Richmond, Chatham and
Floyd.
Former Representatives Slade and
Wohlwender will be returned to the
house from Muscogee—they were elect
ed the other day without opposition
and the new member will be H. H.
Swift.
The sumomnfng of Judge Augustus
W. Fite to the bar of the court of ap
peals for contempt recalls the fact that
Judge Fite himself has been in his day
and time something of a summoner for
contempt.
Away back yonder the judge had
some sort of difference with the editor
of The Chattanooga Times, Colonel
Laps G. Walker, and for a good many
months his honor kept Walker about
as effectively barred from Georgia as
Tom Felder is from South Carolina
Walker never took the contempt pro
ceedings, or the Indictment, or what
ever it was that Judge Fite held
against him. any too seriously - ns a
matter of fact, he got a good deal of
fun out of it—and every now and then
he would make an editorial jab in
Fite's direction, to which Fite would
reply, either in a charge to a jury or a
newspaper communication.
By and by, however, -the judge and
the editor made friends, or patched up
a peace, or something—anyway, Walk
er no longer 1s quarantined against in
the Cherokee circuit.
A much later case of contempt in
Judge Fite's circuit, of course, is the
famous Shope case.
Shope, the editor of The Dalton Cit
izen. published in Judge Fite's judicial
circuit, poked a lot of ridicule at the
judge in a certain newspaper article,
and the Judge promptly ruled him for
contempt. Under a threat of jail, the
editor apologized to the court, and ex
plained that he meant no disrespect to
it—and the rule was dismissed.
Naturally, much public curiosity has
been aroused to know what the judge's
fate will be, now that he has been
ruled to take a dose of contempt medi
cine from a spoon provided by the
court of appeals.
Fred Lewis, for many years political
writer for The Atlanta Constitution

Mr. Lewis carries into his new field
of endeavor a reputation for accuracy,
fairness and conservatism that will
stand him in good stead as his busi
ness builds up. He will begin with the
complete confidence of the public—and
that, with his unusual ability as a
writer, would seem to insure success
to his enterprise at the very outset.
For the first time since his election
to the bench of the Blue Ridge circuit,
Judge "Snacks” Patterson looked in on
his Atlanta friends today.
The judge wears his new honors
gracefully, and speaks most kindly of
his late antagonists
“! hope that my term of service on
the bench will see all old political dif
ferences reconciled in the. Blue Ridge,”
said the, judge, discussing his prospec
tive judgeship. "1 have been agreeably
surprised, and more than profoundly
gratified, that so many who were
against me In my race ha ve come to me
since my nomination was declared and
extended to me the assurance of their
consideration and help in carrying for
ward the work I shall undertake soon.
I believe we shall be a happy family in
the Blue Ridge yet!”
Prison Commissioner Patterson, who
accompanied Governor B. T. Carroll of
lowa on a recent visit to a number
of Georgia convict road camps, is grati
fied beyond measure that Governor
Carroll was so frankly and outspoken
ly pleased with what he saw of the
convicts' work in this state, as, of
course, are his two associates on the
prison board, Davidson and Williams.
The road work of the convicts is the
pet hobby of the present prison com
mission. Nothing coming under its
jurisdiction or official attention is so
dear to its heart. Praise the road work
of the convicts, and mean it, and the
most distinguished consideration of the
prison board is yours.
And Governor Carroll did mean it,
too He intends submitting a message
to the lowa legislature, dealing almost
exclusively with Georgia’s roads, and
the fine work the convicts are doing—
and have done.
ONLY “CASCARETS”
IF CONSTIPATED
Gently clean your liver and con
stipated bowels while
you sleep.
Take a Cascaret tonight and thor
oughly cleanse your Liver. Stomach
and Bowels, and you will surely feel
great by morning. You men and wom
en who have headache, coated tongue,
can’t sleep, are bilious, nervous and
upset, bothered with a eick, gassy,
disordered stomach, or have backache
and feel all worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascaret s—or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil? This is
important.
Casearets immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested and fermenting food and
foul gases; take the excess bile from
the liver and carry off the constipated
waste matter and poison from the in
testines and bowels.
Remember, a Cascaret tonight will
straighten you out by morning. A
10-cent box from your druggist means
healthy bowel action; a clear head and
cheerfulness for months. Don't forget
the children. (Advt.)

“God is in Our Midst”
The Overshadowing Issue
“Woodwardism”
Must and Will Go
•
Like Samson, Mr. Woodward knows not that his strength is gone. / /
None was stronger years ago.
God gave him the ability to attract and influence men. ’ , j
They idolized and trusted him. ’ ' j
They placed power in his hands. $
Today they love him. F
They trust him when he is himself.
But those who love him best will not, in justice to him and to his
city, try to place the government of Atlanta in his control.
Not because they believe him a corrupt criminal. ’ j
But because they know that again and again he has brought shame <
and disgrace upon himself and Atlanta when flushed with victory and in
the grip of his fatal weakness for drink. ,
Mr. Woodward has proven that he can not control that appetite,
which many believe to be a disease. 4
His committee rightly says: t ¥ i $
“This city wants a return to sanity.” ‘ J
This forbids the election to the office of Mayor of a man of Mr. T
Woodward’s known weakness. j
That committee further says: > / ? # f /f f
“It wants efficiency.” ’ ”...
This demands that a man with such a record as Mr. Woodward be z
not employed. ' t
Only gross negligence would put a man of Mr. Woodward’s known » f
weakness in charge of machinery which might do damage to others if
improperly handled.
The machinery of a great city would do untold harm in the hands
of a drunken man before it could be taken from him. *
His committee says:
“The people want a Mayor. T t
“They want a man of unbendable will and determination.”
A man who can not on account of weakness keep his solemn obliga.- /
tion to refrain from drunkenness is not such a man. /
But what is more to be feared aside from this weakness Mr. Wood- f
ward has an “unbendable will and determination.”
His campaign literature shows that, with his “unbendable will and
determination,” he does not even understand a man giving a respectful
answer to a question asked by more than seventy-five of Atlanta’s
preachers, who have only the good of our women and children and city
at heart.
The prayers of men going Heavenward with those of thousands of
women arid children can not fail to keep Atlanta from the grasp of such
a man.
Mr. Woodward favors the buying and selling of women and girls
under police protection in a selected district.
His “unbendable will and determination” are therefore set upon the
violation of the laws of the state of Georgia and the ordinances of the
city of Atlanta by bringing back into the city the traffic which depends
for existence upon the betroyal and debauchery of girls and women.
To do this, he must destroy Chief Beavers. Z $
Consider!
No one proposes or wishes to bring “blue laws” into Atlanta.
But citizens and churches asked the Chief to put an end to “Pro
tected Vice” and stop the degradation of women and the debauchery of
girls.
The Chief did it. ’
And “Woodwardism” demands his destruction.
Herod was a man of “unbendable will and determination” that night
centuries ago, when drunk, in the presence of drunken companions, he
gave to a dancing girl the head of John the Baptist.
John had said, “It is not lawful.”
Atlanta’s heart aches today.
She has deserved better of her son. <
Mr. Woodward, who loves the city, knows this.
Away from his advisors and alone, better than any other man, Mr.
Woodward must realize that his election would place an indelible stain
upon the name of Atlanta.
The world would point the finger of scorn at the city of “Woodward
ism.” . . c
Mr. Woodward is aware that this is the overshadowing issue.
We are confident of his defeat.
The majority, with God, are against him.
But today he has an opportunity to rid his name and city of the stig
ma of shame.
We appeal to Mr. Woodward himself to put an end to “Woodward
ism” by withdrawing.
Save the city from the bitterness c-f a useless election'
The suggestion comes not from his enemies, but from men who wish
to save, not harm him, although they are doing everything in their pow
er to drive “Woodwardism” from Atalnta.
His “unbendable will and determination” would have yielded not to
man, but to God and his love for Atlanta.
Mr. Woodward, consider!
This way lies honor and a name that will be gratefully remembered.
All others lead eventually to defeat and bitter disgrace.
For God will make an end of “Woodwardi&m” in Atlanta.

MEN AND RELIGION FORWARD MOVEMENT.
