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.

DE LEON CABLES FROM HOSPITAL Continued From Page One. 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. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.SATUKDA Y.

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.

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 My Yi Erls* i? iffllfM Wi Hl Im IB « ■ W 11 If IL J r ' i i ®im ill • ww IHJ L P a<T Have you tried THE MENTER CO. for a suit W-L, or other clothing for men, women and children ?

They no longer refer to him derisively as a "pecan crank,” at least! 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.
