The governor has no information as to what course Price proposes to take. He may or may not ask for the com mission to the unexpired term of Hud son.

HEALTHY LIVER MAKES BEAUTY Famous Ac ress Finds that a Healthy Liver is Necessary to Good Looks and Youthfulness. One of the best known women of the American stage is writing a series of articles on the preservation of beauty. She attaches great importance to keep ing the liver active at all times, and she is right. Neither good looks nor hap piness will stay long with any man or woman who lets the liver get lazy and sluggish. It is not always safe to take calomel, the old liver remedy. Doctors agree that it is a very uncertain drug. But all Atlanta drug stores have a remedy for sale that they' guarantee to take the place of calomel absolutely, and still be harmless, causing no restriction of habii or diet. This remedy is Dod son's Liver Tone. Dodson’s Liver Tone is a tasting vegetable liquid, but it starts the liver gently and surely and'relieves constipation and biliousness so prompt ly that it has become a dependable remedy in thousands of homes in the United States. There are scores of fam. ilies in this vicinity' who will not be without it in the house and who would not think of starting on a trip without a bottle of it. Atlanta druggists have sold so much Dodson’s Liver Tone that they are con vinced of its merit and will give any person his 50 cents back who buys a bottle and does not find that it takes the place of calomel to perfection. ToAtlanta’sTravelingMen Tonight doubtless many of you are scheduled to leave the city, but— Atlanta needs you tomorrow. Make your arrangements to leave on Tuesday morning after you have gone to the polls and put in a ballot for “Chambers and Atlanta.” To you who are out of the city, but within reach of Atlanta, we urgently request that you run into the city long enough to cast your ballot. We believe the men for whom you labor—the men who have so much at stake in this city—the men who believe in good government—will grant and expect of you the exercise of this privilege. And Mr. Chambers and this committee will appre ciate this from you. J. R. SMITH, Chairman Chambers Campaign Committee. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. OCTOBER 14. 1912. JILTED 16 YEARS AGO, LANDS FIANCE IN COURT NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Nicholas Oden wald was haled to the Yonkers police court by Miss Anna Wai work, who charged him with breach of promise. Six teen years ago, she declares. Odenwald vanished on the eve of the wedding. He appeared in court with Attorney Riley and secured a postponement. His contention is that the statute of limita tions bars action against him. TO ADDRESS CORN CLUB BOYS. JACKSON. GA., Oct. 14.—J. K. Giles, of Atlanta, district agent for the Boys Corn clubs, will address the members of the Butts County Boys Com club at their annual contests tomorrow, when prizes will be awarded. BEN BLACKBURN SAYS STOP PAINTING ATLANTA AS A MODERN SODOM Atlanta, Ga.. Oct. 14, 1912. To the Editor of The Georgian: One could not have read with dis criminating eye the arguments to the voter in behalf of the two candidates for mayor in Sunday’s papers without being impressed with a marked differ ence in controversial tone. The committee representing Mr. Woodward presented its argument in a way to direct the attention of the voter to his opponent’s reversal of position on the sociological question, and to a sim ple discussion of material needs. The committee representing Mr. Chambers presented its side of the question in a vain attempt to brow beat the voter into timid acceptance. It is probable that there has never been a campaign, waged tor municipal or other office, in the history of the country, wherein so many designs were employed to becloud the thought, throt tle the expression and intimidate the decision of the voter. And this, I may add, in deliberate conservatism, is responsible for the pos itive manifestation of a sentiment of rebuke which will elect Mr. Woodward on Tuesday. The people of Atlanta will not have notions of propriety beat into them by harsh blows from men who have en dangered standards of delicacy by their own broad references to social evils which should have never fallen under the eyes of innocence and purity. The occasional misstep of weak hu man nature is not near so threatening to that indefinable essence which is drank in around the gentle fireside, as is the salacious stuff that comes through the publicity agencies of so ciological bureaus, used as a stalking horse for the gratification of political ambition. Mr. Chambers was right in his first answer to the gentlemen who are in teresting themselves with mistaken zeal in the work of correction, when he con tended that the suggested method of regulation was wrong, and that "he did not propose ever to be party to such a procedure." But he made a mistake when later, in answer to insistent demands, he in dorsed the proposed method of correc tion by gentlemen whom he had so re cently denounced as "fanatics.” 1 have not one word of criticism against the man—cheerfully concede his moral integrity—but his vascillating course in this matter is not helped by unnecessary' display of personal bitter ness. What the people wanted was a con test of education on lines of Atlanta's material needs. All other questions should have been reserved for deliber ate solution at the hands of the home lover, at a time when personal political ambitions were not involved in the set tlement. BIG WOOL CLIP IN TEXAS: QUALITY IS MUCH BETTER LANGTRY, TEX., Oct 14—The fall wool clip is now coming into the market at different points in southwest Texas. Sheep shearing began the latter part of September, and will be finished in about a week. It is stated by sheep men that the fall clip will be much larger and of better quality than usual. There will also be a large clip of mo hair in this section. HISTORICAL HOUSE BURNS. NORTH ABINGTON. MASS., Oct. 14. The Culver house, built in 1765. one of New England’s historical landmarks, was totally destroyed by fire early to day. Lewis Hostetter, a fireman, fell 30 feet from a ladder and suffered prob able fatal injuries. As it is, Atlanta has been advertised to the world as a modern Sodom, whereas there is probably not a city' of its size that was better regulated be fore this discusison began. Whatever may be said of the mis takes of Mr. Woodward- —I am not his apologist, and am not a member of his committee—it is a fact that his cam paign letters, so far as I have read, are in striking contrast to those written by’ his opponent. So it is not Mr. Wood ward or his committee that has flaunted hurtful information about Atlanta to the outside world. The responsibility must rest upon them who have used this questionable method of campaign ing to encompass him in defeat. The effort to make it appear other wise but impresses the Biblical quota tion: "Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own conceit.” The Pharisaical bearing of some of them who are directing Mr. Chambers’ campaign, as exhibited in the unchar itable criticism of those voters who do not see the question as they present it. is suggestive of an inspired story: “Two men went up into the temple to pray—the one a Pharisee and the other a publican. "The Pharisee prayed thus with him self: ’God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust and adulterers, or even as this pub lican.’ "And the publican, standing afar off. would not so much as lift up his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, and said: 'God. be merciful to me. a sinner.’ ” Christ adds: ”1 tell you this man— the publican— -went down to his house justified, rather than the other." In all kindness, I commend this beau tifully natural story to the intemperate and uncharitable controversialist—and. this: "If you forgive not men their tres passes. neither will your Fathei forgive you.” The people may well view, with just alarm, the tendency of gome of our ministers to use the church and the pulpit in away calculated to embitter those whose violence should be held in gentle restraint. It is an awful thought that good men of the Gospel will allow themselves to be so swayed by politico-religious seal as to have not even a word of charity to utter in behalf of a fellow man scourged for no other reason than he has exercised the constitutional right of aspiring to public office. But the people are holding the scales, fair play still wells in the breasts of men. and the voters of Atlanta will to morrow put a bridle on the venomous tongues and stay the pen of bitterness. BENJAMIN M. BLACKBURN (Advt.) Mr. Woodward’s Victory Has Been Won by Fair Play and Business Issues He has left personal abuse, mud-slinging and misrepresentation to his opponent. And the peo ple have rendered a just verdict in favor of Mr. Woodward and a business administration. Mr. Woodward’s plurality of nearly six hundred votes in the recent primary, was not without a reason, he is undoubtedly the choice of the peo ple, and their will should be respected. Had Mr. Chambers received this overwhelming plurality, Mr. Wood ward would have withdrawn, and the people of Atlanta would have been spared the disgusting spectacle which has been forced upon them through the press during the past two weeks. BUT RING RULE DIES HARD. It recognizes no will but its own, and dies fighting for its prey, regard less of the consequences, but RING RULE is dead. The people are opposed to a second primary law and voted against it last fall, defeating it by more than one thousand majority. Mr. Chambers and “HIS RING” are well aware of this fact, and know further that it was the duty of the City Council to take this matter up and have the Legislature repeal this law, but the will of the people was defeated, and Mr. Chambers was a member of the committee whose duty it was to do this. This allowed Mr. Chambers the second opportunity of presenting him self as a candidate for Mayor, against the regular nominee. And no one is more aware of these facts than Mr. Chambers. Where is all the money coming from to try and defeat Mr. Woodward and elect Mr. Chambers? More than five thousand dollars has been spent in the newspapers within the last two days. There must be something wrong. Since Mr. Woodward first announced his intention of investigating the affairs of the city when he takes office, and reporting what he finds to the people, there has been a relentless war waged upon him that has no parallel in the political history of Atlanta. He has been vilified to a most disgusting degree, and the end is not yet. Every voter in Atlanta is warned that in the last moments of this campaign, when it is too late to deny them, that the most villainous of their many misrepresentations will be published. Do not pay any attention to them, they have had plenty of time to present every iota of their campaign abuse before this, and coming as it will at this late day, is entitled to no consideration. Mr. Woodward has conducted this campaign along high lines. He has not attempted to ruin any man’s character. He has dealt entirely with the condition of the city’s business. He has shown you beyond the shadow of a doubt that the tax and bond money has been wasted through “RING RULE” and INCOMPETEN CY. The condition of the streets, sewers, school houses, and other public improvements are silent but convincing evidence that what he says is true. Your own newspaper, no matter which one you read, has been telling you this for months. Citizens have appealed to the courts, without obtaining relief, mass meetings have been held, petitions have been circulated,'Mayor Winn has even attempted to take the matter in his own hands, but the “RING” is too firmly entrenched, nothing but the will of the people can overthrow these conditions, and every vote cast for Mr. Woodward tomor row is a blow for a better, saner, more businesslike and moral Atlanta. Ring rule only leads to corruption and graft. Let every loyal citizen pledge his vote and influence to stamp out these conditions which menace Atlanta. In order to injure Mr. Woodward, “THE RING” is spreading rumors among the working people in the various shops that the polls will close to morrow night at six o’clock. This is not true, as the polls will open at seven o’clock in the morning and will not close till seven P. M. Such campaigning as this is entirely beneath the dignity of a candi date for Mayor, and should be condemned by every fair-minded man in At lanta. No matter what the weather may be, do not fail to go to the polls and vote, this is our only means ' to reach our friends, as we have no boundless cam paign fund to install a special telephone system. We thank our thousands of friends who have so loyally stood by us, ' and have no word of condemnation for those who have conscientiously sup ported the other candidates. WOODWARD CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.
