2 _M TO URGE WLESISTEM 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.

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 SAYS PINCHED HER ARMS ST.

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.

A. 121 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Ga. By JAMES B. NEVIN. 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. CRUST COVERED M ANO FACE Pimples Would Weep and Forw Scabs. Hair All Fell Out.
