Warden Will Attend the Prison
Conference to Get Clemency
for Life-Termrs.
Warden William H. Moyer, of the
Federal prison, is making preparations
f aUcnd the American Prison asso
ciation '•Ax'nvention in Baltimore, No
vember !' to 14. for the purpose of ad
vocating the passage of the bill now
before the United States senate for the
parole of life prisoners in government
prisons. He is anxious to get the con
■S’Sntion to pass a resolution asking the
senate to pass the bill, and it is be
. lieved that this action will be taken.
The bill was drawn in Atlanta over
a fear ago by Mr. Moyer, Congress
man William Schley Howard, who suc
ceeded in having it passed by the
house; Fred L. Seeley and D, W. Roun
tree. It contemplates the parole of
life prisoners after they have served
a good behavior term of fifteen years,
and would thus put all prisoners on the
same footing, since the misdemeanor or
short term Inmates now enjoy this
privilege.
The convicts at the local prison are
so enthusiastic over the proposition
that they announce in their monthly
publication. “Good Words,” just out for
November, that this is one of the
"planks in their platform."
The association aims to provide re
munerative employment for prisoners
after discharge, and possibly to give to
families part of the earnings of the un
fortunates while the latter are con
fined.

Atlanta, Ga., October sth, 1912.
Dr. L, A. Hines,

Dear Doctor:
It gives me great pleasure to say
that the glasses fitted by you to my
eyes are most satisfactory.
I had little hopes when I went to
you, of getting glasses that would
give me relief as well as good vision,
as I have spent so much with the
leading oculists of this and other cit
ies without results, that I was dis
couraged.
Your glasses have given me the
sight of my childhood and I want to
thank you.
Very truly yours,

TO END TONIGHT
Georgia Association Is Already
Planning for Bigger Ex
hibition Next Year.
This is the last day of the ninth
annual show of the Georgia Poultry
association. The classiest display of
fowls the South has ever known will
end tonight.
Tomorrow morning Superintendent
Frank Coll and his helpers will tackle
the tremendous job of shipping out the
fowls. It will take all day to get them
out of the exhibition coops and back
into the shipping coops. And not be
fore Monday morning will the wreck
ing crew begin the task of taking down
the coops and of putting them away
until next season.
Those, who attend the show today
can count on it confidentially that the
exhibition will remain intact until 10
o’clock tonight. No exhibitors will be
allowed to take their birds from the
pens until then. The complete show
will remain just as it Is until the lights
go out.
Has Been Notable Show.
Looking back over it—it has been a
grand show. It is doubtful if in the
variety of birds shown it has ever
been equalled in Dixie. Every bird the
ordinary man ever heard of, and a
lot most everybody never heard of, has
been shown. More than that, they rep
resent all sections of the county—the
East, the North, the South and the
Southwest.
In the class of birds shown the exhi
bition has been without equal. Os
course some classes were stronger than
others. The Orpingtons topped the list.
This exhibit has been the best Orping
ton show that the South has ever
known. It is inllkely that in genuine
class there ha ever been such a show
ing of Orpingtons in any city Atlanta’s
size or anywhere near it.
Another notable feature of the show
has been the range, variety and excel
lence of the special exhibition stock.
The fancy stuff shown by Briarcliff
farm is vastly above the average. It
Is unlikely that any one owner in the
South owns so much or so valuable
stock as Mr. Candler.
G. P. A. Did Well.
The Georgia Poultry’ association de
serves unlimited credit for their show.
The handicaps under which it was giv
en will never be known except to the
few on the Inside. The question of
money was not involved. There was
always plenty of money in sight to
run It. But everything else was against
it and there was opposition—open and
secret —that made matters difficult. For
one Instance, a prominent poultry pub
lication ran a notice that the show had
been called off. Whether this was a
mere mischance or a deliberate effort
to hurt the show will probably never be
known. But It was one example of
many handicaps under which the show
officials labored. Under a qotjptanl
rain of knocks and against an opposi
tion that was bitter and not always in
the open, the officials have gone ahead
with the show and by steady work and
by knowing how have given a show that
has set a new high-water mark in the
South.
Tho Georgia Poultry asociation is
in the field for good. It will give a
show next year, the year after and the
year after that. It was the first on the
field and it has come to stay. It knows
that Atlanta is entitled to the biggest
show in Dixie, and one of the biggest
In America, and it has made the right
moves to attain that end. It gave the
classiest show this year that the South
has ever known. It is now going ahead
with plans for an even better one next
season.
DIVORCES MAN WHO SHE

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
The recent statement given but at
national Democratic headquarters, to
the effect that it is confidently believed
there that Wilson
L
W villi'
JAJ-CS-3 B XrrvTM
will receive ap
proximately 8,-
000,000 popular
votes and carry 40
states, seems to
have been accept
ed, generally by
Georgians with
some reserve and
assimilated with a
few grains of salt.
There are few
who do not think
Wilson is to win;
but there are not
many who believe
he will get 8,000,-
000 popular votes,
■or round up prac
tically all the
states.
For one thing —Georgians are con
servative people anyway-—the statement
seems altogether too good to be true.
Wilson looks like a sure winner, but
the idea is not unanimous in Geor
gia that he is absolutely to run away
with things.
There are, indeed, many Georgians
who believe that Wilson will win in
the electoral votes—and with a margin
to spare—but that he may fail at the
same titnA to get a popular majority
over both Roosevelt and Taft com
bined.
And if he receives 8,000,000 votes,
that unquestionably will be more than
Taft and Roosevelt receive together.
The national Democratic headquar
ters is figuring Georgia to cast some
thing in the neighborhood of 40,000
probably 45,000 —votes for Taft and
Roosevelt combined. The estimate
strikes most local observers as entire
ly too small. The opinion of those who
watch those sort of things is that Geor
gia will cast nearer 60.000 Republican
votes this time, divided between Roose
velt and Taft. There are those who
go higher than that, but to go higher
seems more or less rash.
Georgia cast last time about 130,-
000 votes. If the combined Republican
strength of Georgia be what its head
quarters claim, and the Democrats do
no better in this election than they
did last time, Georgia may be classed
doubtful.
The chances are that Georgia isn’t
doubtful at all, of course. It should —
and likely will—go for Wilson by a
safe majority. The figures quoted,
nevertheless, show plainly what Demo
cratic indifference and apathy next
Tuesday may do.
Democrats MUST remember that the
only question of doubt in Georgia to
day is whether they will go to the
polls next Tuesday and vote.
Surely they ought—and surely they
will —resolve that doubt handsomely in
favor of Wilson and Marshall!
It seems to be a fact that one of the
Bull Moose electors in Georgia—James
P. Farrell, of the Tenth district —Is
both a Catholic and a Knight of Co
lumbus.
There still is time for Hon. Thomas
E. Watson to “bolt” to Debs, however—
but he Will have to hurry!
The Augusta Chronicle, published at
the headquarters of the Georgia rail
road, and in a city profoundly af
fected not only by the recent strike on
that road, but by a local street car
strike as well, gives emphatic approval
to the recent words of the governor
concerning law and order in Georgia,
and finds much comfort in Governor
elect Slaton’s indorsement of the same.
The Chronicle says:
A man in the executive chair
who apreciates the trust given to
him; who understands the confi
dence reposed in him, and who has
the courage and the backbone to do
his duty—the duty he has sworn to
perform—will not. and can not. per
mit defiance of law by the few or
many. Joseph M. Brown has put
the state on notice that he will have
law and order. John M. Slaton has
put the people on notice that he,
also. will.
This statement of Governor
Brown is most important. It is
clearly and concisely made. As are
all of his announcements, it. is un
mistakable in its reasonings and
assertions. There are no words
to conceal meaning or phrases to
confuse Intent. He means what he
says, and what he says has been
well said.
The people of the state will thank

Governor Brown and Governor
elect Slaton for the assurances that
have been given to Georgia and to
the country.
The Rome Tribune-Herald recently
made note of the fact that the city
council adjourned the night the Ring
land circus was in town, but the T.-H.
assured its constituency solemnly, nev
ertheless, that "the council did not ad
journ to see the circus.”
Does the Tribune-Herald mean to in
sinuate that the council adjourned in
order that the circus might see the
council?
Dr. Howard H. Felton, of Carters
ville, one of the two Bull Moose elect
ors at large for the state of Georgia, is
an Atlanta visitor today.
Dr. Felton is a son of the late Dr.
William H. Felton, of Bartown, who
represented so long and so acceptably
the Seventh district of Georgia in con
gress. His mother, one of the South’s
most brilliant women, is an ardent ad
mirer of Roosevelt, apd occupied a seat
of honor on the stage at the Audito
rium-Armory when the colonel lately
visited Atlanta.
Dr. Felton says his home county—
Bartow-likely will go for Roosevelt
next Tuesday by a substantial major
ity. He admits, of course, that the
Democrats up that way tell a differ
ent tale from the one he relates, but
he insists, nevertheless, that he is right
and they are wrong.
“The woods are full of Roosevelt men
up my way,” said Dr. Felton, "and they
are going to vote next Tuesday, more
over. I believe Roosevelt has a good
chance to win the presidency—and
whether he does or not, he has estab
lished for all time a new political
party in the United States.”
Dr. Felton never has, since he reach
ed his majority some twenty years ago.
affiliated with the Democracy to any
great extent. In the heyday of Popu
lism in Georgia he was a follower of
the party of Peffer, Watson and Sock
less Jerry.
If the Democratic vote fails to arouse
itself and make Wilson and Marshall's
Georgia victory overwhelming next
Tuesday, it will not be the fault of the
newspapers.
If ever a state press, all but unani
mously, got in behind any movement
anywhere. It has been in behind the
Wilson and Marshall movement in
Georgia.
It has been begging and pleading for
weeks for a full and generous vote
next Tuesday; It has shown as best it
knew how the great necessity of a large
vote—the danger in the Watson slump,
and the peril of the combined Taft and
Bull Moose vote has been pointed out.
The state press has done its full duty
—and largely without pay—and it now
is up to the voters.
