DIAZ INSURGENTS
TRAP FEDEHALS
Mexican Army Surrounded by
Rebels of Double Number
at Vera Cruz.
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 21.—General
Beltram. the Mexican federal com
mander, walked Into a rebel trap to
day when he made an early attack upon
the city of Vera Cruz and is now sur
rounded by insurgent forces, who
threaten to crush his entire command
of 2,500 men.
Two thousand insurgents, under Gen
eral Aguilar and Genera! Llave, have
Beltram’s government forces surround
ed and the federal commander will have
to cut his way through the rebel lines
unless he wants to give battle to an
army twice the size of his own.
After firing a few shells into the sub
urbs of Vera Cruz, Beltram discovered
his predicament today and is now en
deavoring to find away to retreat.
The United States cruiser Des Moines
and a German liner are in the harbor to
protect foreign interests. Captain Chas.
F. Hughes, of the Des Moines, has been
informed by General Diaz that the in
surgents would not molest foreigners.
Protection For Foreigners,
Dias has Issued a proclamation to his
rebel soldiers not to Interfere with
Americans or other foreigners, nor to
Injure property owned by foreigners.
Rebels seizing armaments or provisions
are expected to pay full value for them.
President Madero Is trying to raise
an army of 10,000 men to defend this
city. The situation is critical here. An
attack from the 3,000 Zapatista, who
are gathered west and south of the
capital, Is believed imminent.
One report that was current today
was that Pascual Orozco, Jr., former
rebel commander in the north, had come
south to help lead an attack upon this
city.
Mews that the Twenty-first battalion,
stationed on the island of Ulua, In the
harbor at Vera Crus, had gone over to
the Dlaa cause, was expected. The loy
alty of this battalion had been In ques
tion since Diaz raised his standard at
Vera Crux.
Mexico City got little sleep last night.
Rumors of the most disquieting nature
were circulated, keeping the people In a
ferment. Bands of students paraded
the streets, most of the night carrying
aloft pictures of Porlfiro Diaz
A strong guard of rurales patrolled
the streets and another detachment was
placed upon the grounds of the national
palace.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Secretary of State Philip Cook is
prouder of nothing in his office than he
is of an old-fashioned picture of an old
fashioned genth -
k /-a
■■
man, who for
the unprecedented
term of 44 years,
was secretary of
state for Georgia.
The pic t u re
hangs just back of
the present secre
tary’s chair, and it
is more or less
faded with age,
but It shows, nev
ertheless, the rug
ged lines and
strong face of old
Nathan Barnett, a
Georgian of the
ancient regime,
and an official for
many years with-
out fear and without reproach.
When Nathan Barnett was elected
secretary of state that office was filled
by the legislature, and not by the vote
of the people, as has been the case
since the adoption of the constitution
of 1877.
When Barnett was first elected, the
capitol was In Milledgeville, and At
lanta was not even on the map.
Barnett served through the war—un
der the father of the present governor,
Joseph E. Brown—but went out In Re
construction days, only to come back
triumphantly after the "carpetbaggers”
had been run back to their lairs up
North.
When old Nathan Barnett left the
secretary of state’s office, just after the
war, he carried wdth him the great seal
of the state. He kept It, too, until after
Reconstruction days, and when he came
back Into office he brought that seal
with him—and It Is the great seal In
use today..
Some histories have said that Gov
ernor Jenkins took away and hid for a
time the great seal of the state of Geor
gia. but that is a mistake—lt was the
executive seal that Governor Jenkins
had, which Is a very different article.
Nathan Barnett died in office—he
was more than 90 when he passed away
—and before he closed his eyes forever
he asked Governor John B, (Jordon to
appoint as his successor the present
secretary's father. General Philip Cook,
as a personal favor to the then dying
secretary.
Genera) Cook was an old man when
the appointment was tendered him, and
was Inclined to turn it down, but when
Governor Gordon told him all the cir
cumstances of the case, he agreed t>
accept, and served for some time after
his appointment.
Georgia has had fewer men to occupy
the office of secretary of state than any
other office under the constitution.
Comptroilei General William A.
Wright thinks it speaks well for the
new insurance law of Georgia that
practically every provision of it has
been recommended to the West Vir
ginia legislature by the state auditor
for enactment Into law In that state.
The new insurance law is working
nicely in Georgia, and both the comp
troller and the deputy Insurance com
missioner think It will work a revolu
tionary change for the better in loen
methods of life insurance.
Th* Georgia legislature has a curious
way of enacting purely local legislation
now and then under the guise of a gen
eral measure—that is, as they call It in
legislative circles, a general bill with a
local application.
This method of effecting legislation
is not always creditable to the general
assembly, moreover, and frequently is
of questionable constitutionality, so
many lawyers think.
From out the last legislative acts, for
instance, which were published a few
days ago, this scintillating gem is
culled:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the
general assembly of Georgia, and it
is hereby enacted by authority of
same, that in cities having a popu
lation of not less than three thou
sand five hundred and fifty inhabi
tants. and not more than three
thousand five hundred and fifty
two. according to the last census of
the United States, the city tax as
sessors shall not be permitted to
value and assess for city taxation
their own property, but the mayor
and council shall have power and
authority to value and assess for
city taxation such property of such
tax assessors.
That’s pretty funny, in away, and if
you will read it over a second time,
carefully, the humor of it surely will
occur to you.
Il requires, for Instance, very little
Sherlock Holmesing in the big census
book to discover that the one town in
Georgia that possibly may be affected
by this “general” legislation is dear old
Cedartown, in Polk county.
It is splitting the splits pretty ac
curately to hold the application of this
bill down to towns “of not less than
3,550 and not more than 3.552—a differ
ence of 2 isn't much of a difference!
There is a doubt that this law is con-

stltutional —and certainly it seems to
have been effected —well, curiously
enough, anyway!
And there is a lot more legislation of
the same sort on the statute books,
moreover, that possibly ought not to be
there.
United States Senator Hoke Smith is
very optimistic with respect to the
Democratic outlook.
He believes that Wilson is to win,
hands down, and that he Is to make a
great president, moreover.
The senator has been working in the
West, so far, but a few days ago he was
called East, and left for Washington
yesterday. After a day or so In the na
tional capital, looking after some legis
lative matters, ne will go to New York
city, where a program will be given him
that will keep him busy up to and ac
tually including November s—election5 —election
day.
Senator Smith has devoted much of
hts time to speaking In states where
there Is a prospect of electing Demo
cratic senators to replace Republicans.
He feels the great necessity of having a
congress to back up President Wilson,
and wherever he has been able he has
put In some licks for Democratic sena
torial aspirants.
“I think,” said the senator, “that we
shall control the senate from the very
beginning of Wilson’s administration. If
so, we shall have, for the first time In
many years, a real Democratic admin
istration, from start to finish. It will
be difficult to enact the legislation we
have in mind unless we do give the
president a congress of a faith similar
to his own. I hope I may have been
able to help that along In a way—cer
tainly I have had it very much in mind
as I journeyed through the West,
"I shall not return to Atlanta until
election day—in the meantime, I shall
be going all the time, as hard as I can.”

This series is the most talked of story of the season.
It has to do with the rebellion of a young girl
against the efforts of a reckless father to sacrifice
her to social ambitions and blight her life, as he did
her mother's. Its absorbing plot and sustained in

“The Eternal City” by the same author. You can

MINDS MADE BIBLE
MIRACLES, ASSERTS
SCIENCE LECTURER
Atlanta Christian Scientists and their
friends are discussing today the dec
laration of Judge Clifford B. Smith that
the miracles of the Bible were not ab
normal manifestations of God s super
natural power, but simply the results of
the states of mind of the people who
witnessed them. Judge Smith deliv
ered a lecture yesterday afternoon at
the Lyric theater before an audience of
several thousand persons.
Judge Smith declared that the secret
of divine healing, lost for eighteen cen
turies, had been found again by Mrs.
Eddy and by her transmitted to the
church she had founded. He declared
that the eternal principle of healing is
found In the Christian Science faith
and its principle lies in having the
proper state of mind.

ACTS ON THE LIVER
Dodson's Liver Tone Livens Up the
Liver'—ls More Then •
Mere Laxative.
Calomel was for years the only
known medicine that would stimulate
the liver. .But calomel is often danger
ous, and people are not to be blamed
for being afraid of It.
Within the last few years many med
icines have been put out to be used In
stead of calomel, but' their effect is on
the bowels—not on the liver. All At
lanta druggists say that the only real
liver medicine to actually take the
place of calomel is Dodson's Liver
Tone, a mild, harmless, vegetable liquid
that is recommended to take the place
of calomel and which givbs prompt re
lief in cases of constipation, biliousness
and sluggish liver.
So confident are Atlanta druggists
that they give their personal guaran
tee with every 50-cent bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone. You can be sure
that you are getting Dodson’s by ask
ing at these stores if they are giving
you the medicine they personally guar
antee to refund money on if unsatis

ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS
Here Are All the Rich Velvets, Corduroys
and Plushes So Prominent in the
Fashions This Fall
We intend that this silk department shall reflect the fash
ions fully and accurately as they are brought out in Paris and
in New York. That is why so much importance is given right
now to the rich and lustrous velvets, plushes and corduroys.
For this is their day!
Many costumes from Paris are entirely of velvet, others
of velvet and charmeuse, and for evening wraps, velvets and
plushes seem to hold entire dominion.
And the velvets are not just the plain velvets that you
have always known. The wonderful weavers of France have
added richness to richness and the result is two-toned velvets,
corded velvets, plushes of a weight and suppleness that lends
itself to soft folds and drapings. Colors, too, are often those
that these fabrics in days gone by never knew.
It is an interesting display—one to enjoy—one we would
have you enjoy—-even if you do not consider purchasing.
Here are some of the wanted ones:
Chiffon Velvets, 40 inches wide, in black and colors, in
cluding shades of purple, brown, blue and taupe, priced at $5
and $5.50 a yard.
Pompadour Velvets, a new velvet that is corded and that
shows two colors—a splendid variety of these in many color
combinations, 40 inches wide, $5 a yard.
Black Velvets, 40 inches wide; a rare display of these
ranging in price from $3.50 to $9 a yard.
Silk Plushes, 40 inches wide, in such shades as taupe, wis
taria, navy and Copenhagen, at $7.50 a yard.
Corduroys for suits and dresses, imported, which accounts
for their fine lustre. In brown, navy, green, garnet, gray, black
and white at $1.50 a yard.
Velveteens, a full color card, showing many shadings of
the wanted colors, priced at $1 to $1.50 a yard.
Many of the Newly Arrived Hats
Are in Taupe
Tomorrow you may see the use of the taupe shade in mil
linery as it is new in New York.
It is a soft and very charming shade, one that is very prom
inent throughout the fashions of this season.
But these hats that we invite you to see tomorrow are not
merely taupe hats, they are taupe hats from the Estelle Mershon
shop of 20 East 46th Street, New York—and they have more
than their color to make them beautiful.
They have all the newness and smartness of line and trim
ming that the women of Atlanta are coming to associate with
hats from this unusual little shop.
Here is one, a medium-long shape, of taupe plush with
two pale blue ostrich feathers gracefully poised at the side.
Here is one, a rather large hat, of taupe plush, with brim
upturned at the side and trimmed with two-toned ostrich plumes,
the shades of which are pink and lavender. You will notice,
too. the prominence of two-toned plumes—-they may be seen
here in several exquisite combinations.
Another taupe hat is a chic, jaunty little shape that pulls
well down over the head and with the back crown flaring in tam
o’shanter style.
But while we are mentioning taupe, we are neglecting
beautiful hats of purple, of brown, and of black and white com
binations, all of which, showing so many new and interesting
little quirks of shape and trimming, it is hardly necessary to
tell you that the expressman just brought.
And what do all these new hats here mean?
I hat you will find here the one most becoming to you!
