and certainly he is the only candidate
yet mentioned who is at ail active for
the place.
John Allen is not making quite as
active a canvass for the presidency of
the senate as Burwell is making in his
race, perhaps, hut Allen's friends were
on hand in Macon in clusters.
"Randolph Anderson is opposing Al

"The show-down between these two
is to be quite interesting. And it is as
yet nobody's cinch bet—believe me!”
Colonel A. P. Perham. Sr., the ven
erable editor of The Waycross Herald,
is an Atlanta visitor.
Time was when Colonel Perham was
a political power in his vicinity—and
he slill is when lie gets the old-time
move on. for that matter —but as a rule
nowadays, he views politics "far from
the madding crowd's ignoble strife,”
and he takes life rather easily,
“Down in my immediate section, we
generally quit talking politics along
about this time of the year," said Colo
nel Perham today, "and all go fishing
for the famous south Georgia red-bos
omed bream —the prettiest fish that
swims, bar none!
"The red-bosomed bream is peculiar
to wiregrass Georgia. Ope rarely is

to one pound in weight. The latter is.
of course, the extreme weight, and lie
is fortunate indeed who catches a. red
bosom that size. Those weighing
around from eight to ten ounces are
plentiful, however.
"The red-bosomed bream Is a pisca
torial aristocrat, and frequents no wa
ters infested with turtles, carp or cat
fish.
"This plucky little fish would feel for
ever disgraced to find itself in a creek
of river in which the scum'of flshdom
felt at home. • • •
"Because of its fastidiousness, the
red-bosomed bream is very plentiful. I

"Do you blame me that I think little,
and care lesn. of politics than of any
thing else in the world nowadays?"
Former Congressman John W. Mad
dox. present judge of the Rome Indicia 1
circuit, again has found it necessary to
deny a repot t that he is about to resign
from the bench and devote his entire
time to the presidency of the State Afu
tuai Life Insurance Company.
Rumor once before had the judge re
signing from his job and Rufe Hutch
ens getting ready to take his place, but
there was nothing to it—just as once
more there Is nothing to It.
“When I get ready to quit the bench,”
said the judge, discussing the rumor
recently with a party of flriends. "1 will
give everybody ample and poatlve no

comes on for the place may be fair and
In the open.
"As the matter stands now. how

"Until further notice, I shall hold

State Game and Fish Warden Jesse
.Mercer lias been digging back into the
history of Georgia gainewise. and he
finds that north Georgia used to be the
finest deer range In all this end of cre

He has talked with old inhabitants
who remember when it was the sim
plest sort of process to keep the fami
ly supplied with fresh meat in that
sii tion. because all one had to do was
to go forth 10 the mountains ami kill a
deer or so. most any old time.
"That former state of things set me
to thinking." said Mr. Mercer today,
“and I have determined to ask the
Elks of Georgia to co-operate with me
in purchasing a herd of nineteen fine
elks that may be had from a nearby
point ji 1 h rpJLsonß b!p price, in order
that we may tlx out an experiment I
think well worth while.

GIRLS IN NIGHT
SCHOOL NEED HID
Fund to Provide Suppers for
Poor Students Is Sought by
Clubwomen.
Extension of the work of the Girls
Night school and the tremendous increase
in attendance has brought the philan
thropic workers in charge of the institu
tion face to face with the food problem
and incidentally the high cost of living.
Two years ago when the school was
founded the managers at once saw that
ft would be necessary to furnish supper
for the students. A fund was raised to
supplement the appropriation of the
board of education and through the
medium of the Y, W. C, A. a meal, cost
ing 10 cents, was served each girl for
2 cents.
This year, however, there are 115 girls
enrolled. Each night at least 50 get their
suppers at the school. Separate meals
are served for the foreign girls on ac
count of their religious scruples and the
large increase has drained the. fund. A
committee headed by Max Kutz and
Charles T Nunnally has been named to
take charge of the raising of this fund,
with the aslstance of the Woman's club
and contributions are being sought.
Work in the school is being extended.
The girls not only are being taught the
rudiments of education, but are given les
sons in home nursing, hygiene, etc.

METHODIST CLERGY
OF NORTH GEORGIA
DEPLETED BY DEATH
CARROLLTON, GA., Oct. 18.—One of
the most perplexing questions that w ill
come before Bishop James H. McCoy
at the next session of the North Geor
gia Methodist conference, which is to
convene here next month, will be the
supplying of pulpits made vacant this
year by death. Eight have died this
year. They are Rev. .M. H. Eakes, of
Madison; Rev. T. A. Seals, of Macon;
Rev. R, A. Seals, who was in Sarasota,
Fla., at the time of his death; Rev. J.
H. Farr, of Atlanta; Rev. J. A. Rosser,
of Atlanta; Rev. M. L. Troutman, of
Athens; Rev. E. G. Murrah, of Macotj,
and Rev. M. J. Cofer, of Atlanta.
This year will see very few young
men applying for admission into the
conference to supply the places of
these who have passed out of service.
To meet the conditions. Bishop McCoy
will probably transfer several ministers
from other conferences.
