SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
There is a well authenticated rumor
abroad—and Atlanta unquestionably
will hope it is true—that Representa
tive William G.
L /J|
I
Brantley, upon his
retirement from
congress next
March, will make
his home in the
city of Atlanta.
Mr. Brantley
will take up the
active practice of
1a w immediately
upon quitting con
gress. and as he
will represent one
client, at least,
with very exten
sive interests
throughout the
South, It is but
natural that his
mind should turn
to Atlanta as headquarters.
The congressman from the Eleventh
has had a distinguished career in the
national house. He entered, as the suc
cessor to that great Georgian, Henry G.
Turner, in 1896. and has served con
tinuously since. His term of service
covers eight congresses—fronu the Fif
ty-fifth to the Sixty-second, inclusive.
He is 52 years of age, and very much
in the full vigor of splendid physical
manhood.
There has been very little —practical-
ly none at all—opposition to Mr. Brant
ley for re-election since he began his
congressional career. He would be now
a member-elect of the Sixty-third con
gress had he so desired. He retired
voluntarily, and much to the regret of a
constituency thoroughly attached to and
approving of him. He is Georgia’s
member of the ways and means com
mittee of the house—the most desirable
and powerful committee of congress.
If Mr. Brantley takes up his resi
dence in Atlanta, he may be very sure
of a cordial and hearty welcome.
■Watchman Quillian, of the state cap
itol, not being particularly busy all of
his time nowadays—it is only now and
then that somebody or Macon under
takes to swipe the capitol and walk
off with it—amuses himself keeping tab
on the manner in which visitors in
quire their way about the big building.
He has found that only about four
teen per cent of visitors refer to the
dome as the "dome.”
"The most popular name for the
dome,” said the watchman, discussing
the matter today, “is ‘cup ' Next to
,‘cupalo’ comes ‘belfry.’ and then it runs
along to ‘tower’ and ‘steeple,’ and once
a fellow called it the ‘turret,’ but he
remains the only one in his class.
"The dome is a favorite place for
newlyweds to overlook the city of At
lanta—and, really, the view from there
is very fine. There are many visitors to
the dome every day. I have found that
the majority of people who call the
dome a ‘steeple’ hail from the country—
the rural districts —and when a man in
quires the way to the ‘cupalo,’ I know,
good and well, he comes from some
where north of Mason and Dixon’s line.
I don’t know where that fellow who
called it a ‘turret’ resides when at home
for I never thought to ask him.”
The proximity of Colonel James
Hamilton Dewis to a United States sen
atorship in Illinois—it looks as if he
has a fine chance to win—is gratify
ing to a great many Georgians.
Mr. Lewis hailed originally from Sa
vannah. and resided for a time In Au
gusta. He has friends —scores of them
—all over Georgia, and they are look
ing. both anxiously and lovingly, to
ward Illinois, with the hope rampant in
their breasts that Mr. Lewis yet may
snatch the plum he is reaching for.
Mr. Lewis’ pink whiskers have fur
nished a theme for no end of pert par
agraphic jabs and editorial joshing
throughout the United States, and all of
that he has taken in good part—for
he’s a jolly, good fellow, which no one
can deny.
Nevertheless, when he was a member
of the national house of representatives
he was rated safe and sane—and sani
tary—on all propositions, and when he

sent to the senate.
The last county to send in its official
returns tn the presidential election was
Gilmer—grand old Gilmer, of several
and many varieties of fame.
This by many is regarded as father
curious, too, in view of the fact that
Gilmer’s sometimes effectively adjusta
ble vote was not needed as a last min
ute factor to swing the state in anv
particular direction.
If Gilmer this time labored undei the
impression that it was up against an
other firemen-save-me-chie-e-eld stunt,
it was mistaken. And it might just as
well have come along with its returns
on scheduled time, and avoided unnec
essary delay in footing up the totals.
Says The Albany Herald:
Already there are signs*—some of
them cropping out right here in
Georgia—that certain elements
claiming to be Democratic have
made up their minds not to be
pleased with anything that Wood
row Wilson does.
It is not likely, however, that serious
objections will be raised against Pres
ident Wilson in Georgia before the dis
tribution of tlte |ile has been effected.
If he gets through handing out that
without making ten people sore where
he pleases one. he will be something of
a wonder—the which a great majority
of Georgia people devoutly will hope
he is.

SEE VINDICATION
FOR DR. MERRITT
*
It is predicted in political circles to
day that the special committee of coun
cil which itas been investigating the
Battle Hill tuberculosis sanitarium will
vindicate the institution of the charges
of mismanagement.
Aldeixnan John E. McClelland, who
has been pressing the charges against
the hospital officials, said the commit
tee had prejudged the case and that lift
would fight its report in council.
The committee closed the hearing
yesterday afternoon with the testimony
of Dr. S. W. Merritt, superintendent.
Dr. Merritt made a long statement,
which he had typewritten before him.
He endeavored to explain all the testi
mony that had been brought out against
him, and referred to Dr. R. R. Daley, of
the Anti-Tuberculosis association, who
made the first charges against the in
stitution. in these words:
“Dr. Daley lias attempted to malign
me professionally and physically, and
winds up with the statement that he
has seen some tilings regarding Dr.
Merritt that were not proper. He is now
requested to state definitely what these
things are or admit publicly that he
lied."
W. G. Humphrey, chairman of The
committee, said tjje testimony of both
sides had only shown how good the
work of Dr. Merritt was and how ef
ficiently the institution was managed
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig
orates the scalp, forever stopping itch
ing and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks’ use when you
will actually see new hair—fine and
downy at first —yes —but really new
hair growing all over the scalp. If you
care for pretty, soft hair and lots of it
surely get a 25-cent bottle of Knowl
ton's Danderine from any druggist or
toilet counter, and just try it. (Advt.)
