Dr. L. A. H Ines.

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
eight of my childhood and I want to
thank you.
Very truly yours,

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The recent statement given out at
national Democratic headquarters, to
the effect that ft is confidently believed
there that Wilson
will receive ap
proximately 8,-
000,000 popular
votes and carry 4o Jr
states, seems to

!.<■ wll; g. t s. an
000 popular votes,
or round up prac
tlcally all the » Mvix
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 time to got 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 ffpreciates 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 ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2. 191
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, hut 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, and 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 lias, 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.
been begging and pleading for
weeks for a full and generous vote
next Tuestfcc'; 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.
AUGUSTA MOOSERS
WORKING TO WHIP
TAFT IN RICHMOND
AUGUSTA. GA, Nov. 2.—The local
Bull Moose party men held a meeting
last night for the purpose of instilling
Interest in the election of next Tues

supervisor for the Tenth Georgia dis
trict, Is the leader of the Bull Moose
movement in Afigusta, and James J.
Farrell, secretary of the Augusta
Chamber of Commerce, is the district

fairly well attended. The great ef
fort that is being made by the local
Progressives is to beat President Taft
in Richmond county.
The Democrats held a meeting last
night also and made plans for a big
rally Monday night. It is believed that
Wilson and Marshall will receive a safe
plurality in this county.

SCOUT REGIMENT
FOR CORN SHOW
1,000 Georgia Boys Will Be
Organized for Exhibition by
Chamber of Commerce.
Organization of 1,000 Georgia boys
into a regiment of boy scouts, to be
known as the “First Regiment, Coin
Club Scouts of Georgia," has been ar
ranged as a feature of the second an
nual Georgia Corn show to be held in
the state capitol, under the auspices of
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, De
cember 3,4, 5 and 6. •
Captain Wade H. Leahy, of th<* Fifth
regiment, Georgia National Guard, has
gone into especial training as a scout
master for the purpose of taking hold
of this mass of youthful and virile hu
manity during that period, and incul
cating in them the basic principles of
the boy scout movement.
These boys, the representatives of
10,000 members of the Georgia Boys
Corn clubs, who will come here as ex
hibitors and as spectators, will be com
fortably housed free of cost in the regi
mental armory, where cots and blan
kets will be provided for them and
where they will be under the protect
ing but generous wing of the officers
and men of the Fifth.
Extend Scout Movement.
Captain Leahy will undertake to give
them as much elementary training
along boy scout lines as Is possible In
the limited time he will have while the
corn show lasts, and it is believed it
will be possible at least to make a good
beginning, which may lead to the estab
lishment of active boy scout companies
In many' of the rural communities of
Georgia, where they may become a
strong factor In safeguarding peace and
good order.
This brief military training will cul
minate in a parade through the street?
of Atlanta, headed by Governor Brow’n,
and with the Fifth regiment infantry
acting as an escort.
It will be such a parade as was held
last year, only two or three times the
size, growing In proportion as have the
corn clubs and their efforts. There
were approximately only 5,000 members
of the Boys Corn clubs in Georgia last
year, while this year the number has
been doubled. Pictures of the 1911 corn
parade went all over the world and
were widely commented upon as unique
and interesting evidence of agricultural
development along new and succussful
lines.
Loans Influenced by Show.
Leading officials of a big Northern
insurance company are said to have
been largely Influenced by witnessing
moving pictures of the Georgia .Corn
show parade of 1911, in Reaching a de
cision to make farm loans in Georgia, a
i step which they had, until a few months
ago, persistently refused to take. But
I the picture of all of this youthful vigor
, back of agricultural Georgia proved a,
; convincing argument, and within a few
months the company has placed thou
. sands of dollars in loans upon farm
lands In Georgia—money that has gone
Into the further agricultural develop
ment of the state.
As a special feature of this year’s
corn show the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce will tender the visiting corn
club boys a complimentary dinner on
December 4. at which it is expected
fully 1.000 boys will be seated, and
among the speakers of the occasion will
be Governor Brown, Hon. M. L. Brit
tain, state superintendent of schools;
Dr. A. M. Soule, president of the State
College of Agriculture; O. B. Martin, of
the United States department of agri
culture, and J. Phil Campbell, state
agent of the Boys Corn Clubs of Geor
gia.
DOZIER SECURES JOB
AND IS HOUSEKEEPING
WITH WIFE IN MACON
MACON. GA.. Nov. 2.—Voght Dozier
has obtained employment in Macon. He
and his wife, who formerly was known as
Essie <?arter. have rented a little cot
tage, and both are "going to reform."
J. W. Ford, a furniture dealer, said that
Dozier's plight—cast off and disowned by
his parents and wedded to a woman of
unenviable reputation aroused his sym
pathy, and he determined to aid the
young man if possible. So he tendered
Dozier a position in the furniture store
at a salary sufficient for two persons.
"If people will just leave us alone,
vft- will get along all right.” said Do
zier. "I am going to show the public
that there is a lot of good in me yet.
Essie and I both are going to reform."
