the duel between McWhorter of
Georgia and Hardage of Vander
bilt. Both men have been picked
as the best halfbacks the South
boasts. McWhorter, peerless in a
broken field, will always be a dan
ger to the Gold and Black goal line,
while Hardage's brilliancy will not
suffer in comparison. Vanderbilt
has the advantage in Sikes at
fullback, a line plunger of the old
school. Georgia boasts no bucker
of prominence, and Vanderbilt's
attack will naturally vary from
Georgia's in this respect.
Vandy Will Use Pass.
The sensational forward pass, the
most ata gey play of football, should
abound. McGugln is probably the
world's greatest exponent of the
play. Many and many a game has
been snatched from the fire by the
use of this play at a critical Junc
ture. While not all of McGugin's
passes have as yet been Imparted
to his team, Vanderbilt knows
enough to worry the opposition at
all stages.
And there will be other features
that will warm the verj cockles of
the football bug's heart. Vandy's
two linemen, Morgan and Shipp,
each six feet tall and weighing, re
spectively. 210 and 215 pounds, will
be centers of attraction. Beefier
men have been seen, on Southern
gridirons, but better men never.
Then Ted Goy will umpire Ted
Coy, the greatest football player,
the most consistent fullback that
ever carried the blue of Yale to
victory. Coy has been living in
Chattanooga since his gradua
tion, but still keeps a keen inter
est in football. Charley Wahoo,
the old Carlisle captain, will be the
referee. The game will be called
promptly at 3 o'clock.
AMERICUS MAN TRIES
TO COMMIT SUICIDE
WHEN HE IS ROBBED
MACON, GA., Oct. 19. —A young man
giving the name of Charles Hopkins, Is
recovering at the city hospital from the
effects of twenty grains of morphine,
taken with suicidal intent. He was
seen to swallow the tablets by a fellow
boarder at 620 First street, and an am
bulance was summoned. Prompt at
tention at the hospital undoubtedly
saved his life, but the physicians say
that the young man had a very' narrow
escape at that.
The man says he is from Americus.
Ga., and that he sought to die because
he was without funds as the result of
having his purse taken by a pickpocket
while on a train coming to Macon to
attend the state fair.

FROM HOSPITAL

from the contractor since early in the
month.
He had gone to Chicago, presumably
to prepare for a hunting trip in the
woods of Michigan and Wisconsin, to
recuperate after a hard year of work.
It was known that he had reached
Chicago safely. He had called on
friends in Wilmette, a North Shore
suburb of the Illinois city, and it was
known that he carried more than $2,500
in cash on his person in addition to
valuable jewelry.
He was supposed to have started on
his outing from Saginaw. Mich., but he
was never seen there. When days
passed and neither family nor friends
had received any message from him.
they grew alarmed. E. W. DeLeon, of
New York, president of the Casualty
Company of America, urged the Chi
cago police to make a search for the
missing man.
His instuctions were followed, but
the hunt was fruitless. The Michigan
authorities, too. were notified, but, al
though the woodsmen were Instructed
to seek advices of the Atlantan, he
had apparently been swallowed by the
earth.
When it was apparent that his return
to the city was questionable, Ronald
Ransom and H. L. Eraser were named
receivers for his affairs by Judge Bell
in the superior court, on motion of the
Fulton National bank.
Among other Important contracts
DeLeon had was the work on the coun
ty court house, and it was to keep his
affairs from falling into the hands of
irresponsible persons that the petition
for the receivership was filed. His solv
ency was not at that time questioned.
The receivers went carefully into the
examination of his affairs. A few
weeks later they reported, showing lia
bilities above assets. A difference was
found in his account as executor of the
DeSeixas estate, but this was later
cleared up by the discovery of an In
surance policy that fully secured the
amount.
In the meantime the search* contin
ued. The Elks and other fraternal
orders joined the search, but still there
was no result. The conviction grew
that the last had been heard of Moise
DeLeon, until the receipt of the Aus
tralian cablegram today.

Former Atlanta Girl Had Bro
ken Engagement to Member
of Rich Ohio Family.
Atlanta society had a thrill months
ago when invitations were received here
to the wedding of Miss Martha Cal
houn. eldest daughter of Patrick Cal
houn, the famous San Francisco street
railway magnate, to Wilson B. Hickox.
son and heir of one of Cleveland, Ohio’s,
wealthiest men.
Atlanta society hi d another thrill
several days later when the invitations
were recalled and it wa< announced
that, on account of true love's running
to form —that is. not running smoothly
—the marriage h id been called off.
But society missed a third thrill by
being entirely Ignorant of the fact that
the breach between Miss Calhoun and
her tlance had been healed and that the
marriage, long postponed, had taken
place at the Calhoun residence in Ch -ve
lum! Saturday. -.
Miss Calhoun, now Mrs Hickox, *s
well known in Atlanta. Siu was reared
here, went to school here, and pa.-sed
her entire young girlhood here. Her
father was then prominent in Atlanta
affairs. Iler friends were numbered by
the score.
On account of a bereavement in the
family of the bridegroom the wedding
was a quiet one. only the family and
intimate friends being invited. The
bride wore a gown of rare old lace that
was her mother’s when she became Mrs.
Calhoun, and which her sister. Mis
Paul Foster, wore at her marriage. H r
only ornament w as a magnificent string
of pearls, to which was attached a
diamond pendant set in platinum, the
gift of the bridegroom.

will be no danger of irritation from
his vigorous way of speaking. The
longer they keep him in the hospital,
they believe, the longer they can keep
him from starting out for further
speaking.
The colonel is improving rapidly. His
condition today was satisfactory to the
doctors. At 6 a. m. his temperature
was 98.2. pulse 70, and his respiration
18—all normal.
The colonel woke cheerful and eager
for political conferences. He slept less
last night than he did the night be
fore. He was hungry when he woke
'and asked for his breakfast, which
was brought to him at 7 o’clock. Mrs.
Roosevelt joined her husband at break
fast.
During the night the colonel awoke
twice, but in each instance went to
sleep again almost immediately.
Despite his close confinement, the
patient retained a splendid appetite.
At 4 a. m. he awoke and asked how
soon breakfast would be ready. Mr.
Roosevelt has not been troubled with
indigestion, though used to an active
life, and suffering to some extent from
his unwonted inactivity.
Rest Excellent
For His Throat.
Some of the doctors Insist that Mr.
Roosevelt's enforced period of rest is
not a bad thing for him, generally
speaking. He was suffering from a bad
throat at the time of Schrank’s attempt
on his life and might even have been
compelled to take a rest in any event.
Mts. Roosevelt slept soundly through
out the night until shortly after 4
o’clock, when she rang her bell and in
quired of the night nurse how Mr.
Roosevelt was. •
The colonel’s breakfast this morning
consisted of ham omelet, muffins, fresh
mushrooms in butter, Ceylon tea. but
tered toast.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
Since Jake Moore died there has been
no Georgia politician of his persuasion
so well known in country’ singing cir
cles as is the Hon.
L
i
jAMSa E> xrvnr
Green Berry Hol
der, of Floyd
county, several
times a member
l of the legislature,
who is having a
look in on things
Atlantawise to
day.
Mr. Holder and
Mr. Moore were
boon companions,
and although the
former has for
saken many of the
paths political
since his friend
departed this
earth, he still
keeps up his at-
tendance upon country singings, and
will walk miles any’ old day to get to
one and participate in it.
Mr. Holder says this is the very best
season of the year to attend all-day
country singings. He asserts that the
season not only is entirely propitious,
but that the singers, with all of the
summer’s practice behind them, are
better singers now than they possibly
could have been before.
All-day country singings are never
used for political purposes, of course,
so far as anybody’ will admit, right out
in meeting. But they furnish a safe
and sure, as well as pleasant, way to
keep up political fences, nevertheless,
and for that purpose they are employed
incidentally by many- wise ones with an
eye for getting there.
The day invariably is divided into
two sections, and between them is
served, generally, anyway, a fine basket
dinner, consisting of fried chicken ga
lore, many sorts of sandwiches, and al
ways—and ever—lemon tarts!
Besides being helpful to aspiring pol
iticians, all-day singings are happy oc
casions. and the man who attends them
regularly’ and particularly if he acts the
part of “tune-highster,” invariably is a
man of standing and influence —and
frequently he gets elected to the leg
islature.
The Hon. Green Berry Holder has
been elected to the legislature several
times—and can get elected some more
If he wishes!
Governor Joseph M. Brown speaks in
glowing terms of the Georgia state fair,
now in progress in Macon.
The executive attended the fair on
Thursday, and he say’s it is a distinct
credit to the management, and is, in
many respects, the best failr, by far, he
ever attended.
The governor is something of a
farmer himself, and prides himself
upon his general information along
agricultural lines, and more especially
as a judge of live stock.
He says there never has been shown
anywhere, at any time, a finer exhibit
of hogs than the one now to be seen at
the state fair in Macon.
Senator George W. Deen, of Way
cross, besides being one of the best
politicians in his end of the state, is an
enthusiast on the subject of pecan cul
ture.
When the senator first undertook to
put over the pecan idea in south Geor
gia many’ people gave him the merry
ha-ha and said nothing ever would
come of it, save a lot of wasted time
and energy that might be put to better
purposes. •
Nevertheless, Deen went right along
with his cranky pecan notions and re
cently—they first began to call him a
pecan crank some ten years ago—he
gathered 58 pounds of the finest variety
of papershell nuts from one tree and

As a result of former Representative
Seaborn Wright's activities in Rome of
late, that northwest Georgia municipal
ity has the lid on just a little bit
tighter perhaps, than any other town
in Georgia ever knew’ it to be.
Not only has every locker club in
the city been closed, upon motion of
the famous prohibition leader, but now
about half the town has been indicted
for pool playing on the loser-pay-for
the-game plan, which is the way pool
has been played immemorially’ in Geor
gia, even if that is technically illegal
The supreme court has held that a
game of pool played on the loser-pay
for-the-game plan is gambling—hence
23 indictments by the Floyd county
grand jury against a number of the
best young men in Rome.
The Rome Tribune-Herald seems tq
have lost patience, more or lass, too
with the crusade for righteousness now
In progres in Rome, and says;
"Going to extremes ne ’er before
heard of in the state by indicting
23 young men, some of them among
the most prominent and upright
men of the city for playing pool,
loser-pay-for-the-game, the grand
jury just adjourned enjoys the sat
isfaction of having made Rome the
'tightest' town in the state, if not
in the United States.
“Several members of the Law
and Order league expressed regret
that matters had been carried so
far and did not hesitate to' say so.
“Mr. Man with a family, who re
members to have matched for a
dope last summer, is spending the
evenings with his wife, in constant
fear that Sheriff Dunehoo's shadow
will darken his door at any mo
ment.
“Just how long the present state
of affairs will last can not be fore
told, but the lid is on and ten
thousand tons of lead are on top
of it.
“This is a law-abiding commu
nity. R&ne is one of the quietest
and most orderly towns in any
state at night. Many of its best
citizens feel that this procedure is
the limit."
As president of the Law and Orde»
league of Rome, former Representative
Wright, who put prohibition on the
statute books of Georgia, is going some
in his home town, all right enough!
Ed Wohlwender, of Muscogee, sev
eral times a member of the house of
representatives, and just re-elected to
membership in the next, will be a can
didate for speaker pro tern.
This is an office of considerable dis
tinction, and usually goes to some
member popular with his associates and
sufficiently informed in parliamentary
law to hold things down in the speak
er's absence.
As Wohlwender fills both of these re
quirements handsomely, he is apt to
develop into a most formidable candi
date for the honor he seeks.
Saved By His Wife.
She’s a wise woman who knows just
wtiat to do when her husband's life is
in danger, but Mrs. R. J. Flint, Brain
tree, Vt„ is of that kind. "She insisted
on my using Dr. King's New Discov
ery,” writes Mr. F., "for a dreadful
cough, when I was so weak my friends
all thought I had only a short time to
live, and it completely cured me.” A
quick cure for coughs and colds, it’s the
most safe and reliable medicine for
many throat and lung troubles —grip,
bronchitis, croup, whooping cough,
quinsy, tonsilitis, hemorrhages. A trial
