TUFT TO DEPOSE
LDNGSWS
WIDOW
Gainesville Postmaster, Bull
Moose Worker, Will Be Suc
ceeded by a Republican.
There is a real fight on for the post
mastersh'ip of Gainesville, ant; the
prospect now is that Mrs. Helen Dortch
Longstreet, the incumbent, will have to
give way within the next few days to
James B. Gaston, a Republican.
Henry S. Jackson, of Atlanta, who
speaks by the card for the president in
these matters, is understood to be op
posed to Mrs. Longstreet remaining in
charge of the Gainesville office after
her present commission runs out, and
es it expires ,on December 7, those who
keep tab on such things are looking
for a change within the next two or
three days.
In ordinary circumstances, it seems
that it is Mr. Taft's policy to rename
postmasters whose commissions are to
expire before the end his term, but the
fight against Mrs. Longstreet has gone
to the point where the office likely will
be given to another, even if that other
himself is removed within the next few
months.
It will be remembered that Mrs.
Longstret t identified herself very em
phatically with the Roosevelt move
ment in Georgia. She occupied a seat
on the stage at the Auditorium-Armory’
as an especial guest of honor at the
big Bull Moose rally in Atlanta, and
was one of Georgia’s accredited repre
sentatives to the Roosevelt Chicago
convention.
Technically, the charge upon which
Airs. Longstreet is to be put out is the
ancient and always handy “pernicious
political activity in office.” She holds 1
her present commission over President
Roos. volt’s signature.
James B. Gaston, who is slated for ,
Mis, Longstreet’s position, is a Repub
lican and is extremely popular in Hall
county and northeast Georgia. He will
be acceptable to Gainesville, so it is
said, so tlie entire extent that any
other Republican would. It is not 1
thought that be will be permitted to 1
hold the office a full term, however.
The fight . against Mrs. Longstreet j
In Gainesville was precipitated a few
nights ago, when H. 11. Dean, at a din
ner to Congressman Hobson in Gaines
ville, emphatically protested against <
her reappointment to office, and de- ]
flared that -.:■■ was not entitled to It,
either from the standpoint of Mr. Taft
or Mr. Wilson. He called then and there
for a change, and was altogether out- <
spoken in his remarks. c
His speech caused a genuine sensa
tion, and next day Mrs. Longstreet re- .
■ lie, to it bitterly in placards distrib
uted all over the city of Gainesville. 1
Since then, moreover, some exceed
ngly peppery correspondence is said to f
..ive passed between th, postmaster
md Mr. Dean. Mr. Dean, it will be .
recalled, was one or Georgia’s dele- '
;..tee-at-I;:rg<- to the Democratic na
'' ma! convention in Baltimore, anil was v
Georgia’s member of the platform emu- j

Exploring Smoke-Befogged City by Torchlight
!N DARKEST ATLANTA
I delegates to next week’s gas
onventton stepped out of their Pull
nnrns at the station early today and
turned savagely to
A flashlight taken
in Whitehall street
at 10 o’clock this
morning, showing a
part of the Great
Black Way.
the porter.
“ T h o u ght you
said we got in at
8 a. m. ?” they pro
| teste,“Why are
you dumping us
out at midnight?"
“This ain't mid
night, boss.” re
turned the porter,
a shadow seen
dimly under the
arc lights' glare
“It’s after break
fast time. Dis is
smoke. Wait till
you gets in de
street and you'll
find more of it.”
The visitors
seized their grips,
stuck close behind
a man with a
torch, and made their way into what
seemed a great cave filled with an
opaque, mouse-colored substance in
which even arc lights made but a faint,
rosy spot.
“What’s this?” asked the leader.
“This is outdoors in Atlanta," replied
the guide.
"What a town for a gas company!”
exclaimed the head of the party, in ec
stacy. "Twenty-four hours consump
tion a day. No wonder we’re holding
the exposition hero. Pittsburg has noth
ing on this.”
“Well, are you game? ’ asked another.
"Let’s all go exploring in darkest At
lanta."
Punching Holes in the Gloom.
They stood on the sidewalk for a
while, watching the pedestrians picking
their way along the curb, bumping into
each other in the gray cloud, hesitating
to cross the street. Trolley cars crept
past, clanging their - gongs furiously.
Their headlights were turned on in full
power, though it was past 8 o’clock.
Motor car drivers tried vainly to make
their acetylene lights shoot holes in the
gloom, but even these searchlights could
not cut the smoke.
There was an English delegate in the
party, and he was the only happy man
in the bunch
“It’s like dear old Lunnon!” he ex
claimed delightedly. "Yet it’s different.
It’s much thicker, and tastes far worse.
A wa fog is very pleasant, you know.
This tastes like the cigar which went
out yesterday and was lighted again to
day.”
“What is it—fog or smoke?" asked
the man from Kansas City. "Let's call
up the weather expert."
“It is smoke—all smoke," said the
forecaster. “It is worse than usual to
day. because then is no wind to blow
it away."
"Then if Atlanta had no wind for a
week, a citizen would not be able to
leave his door at high noon, with the
sun shining bright, and find his way to
the next corner,” said a scientific mem
ber of the parti. “If there were no
wind, the whole city would first be
shrouded in this veil of smoke, it would
grow thicker and thicker, the air would
soon be so tilled with poisonous gases
that no human valid breathe, and in a
few more horn - Atlanta would be a city ,
of the dead. Atlanta seems to be at '
the mercy of the winds." ;
Groping in the Shadows. 1
The party tried to mak> its way up ,
Peachtree street to a hotel. It was dis- ,
llcult going, in the gray shadow. It <
was like walking in the wake of a for- J
est fire, for the smoke wrapped them in .
its embrace, choked their lungs, filled ,
their eyes. Their hands and faces were
grimy with soot. Their collars, donned '
a. half hour before in the Pullman, ’
looked as thou sh towaways in th< coal !
bunkers had worn them.
At last, by feeling their nay along 1
tht buildings, inquiring of the dimly
. utlmec forms which passed with the ,
confidence which comes from familiar- i
ity, the visitors reached their hotel.
Even It'- e the lobby was tilled with the J
smoke. It resembled nothing so much!'
as a poker room at 3 a. m., which every .
window closed and everybody puffing!.

: WIND ALONE SAVES :
• TOTAL DARKNESS J
• If wind should fail to blow •
• through Atlanta streets for four •
• consecutive days, not even elec- •
• trie lights would serve to pene- •
• trare the darkness. That is the •
• belief of Section Director Von- •
• Herrmann, of the local office of the •
• United States weather bureau, •
• and he ought to know. •
• “Atlanta is lucky." he said this •
• morning. "If this city was as •
• near the sea level as Columbus, •
• people would hardly be able to live •
• here. Atlanta’s altitude is all that •
• makes it habitable. Because the •
« city is far above the sea level we •
• get winds at all times of the year. •
• “But if the wind should fail to •
• blow at a rate of at least eight to o
• ten miles an hour the smoke •
• would gather and cente right over •
• the city. No one can even im- •
• agine what the result would be. «
• If Atlanta ever does have a long, •

cigars. But instead of the scent of to
bacco. there was the stench of soft coal.
Can’t See Skyscrapers.
“Why doesn’t Atlanta do away with
this smoke?" demanded the visitors in
surprise.
"It’s trying to,” explained the Atlan
tan who had welcomed them. “We have
a smoke commission, with’power to or
der arrests for violations of the ordi
nance.”
“There ought to be a half-million in
fines stacked up after a day like this,”
said the visitor. “I suppose your police
force is using extra patrol wagons to
take offenders to the station today.
There must be at least a thousand vio
lations this morning. How many ar
rests do you suppose they iiave made?”
“U-tt-m, well. You see—’’ began the
Atlantan “The inspector did have an
arrest or two made, but the smoke com
missioners didn’t like it. You see. it is
likely to injure business. And then
there’s politics. It's mighty hard to go
to fining good citizens and tax payers,
you see.”
“Then what does Atlanta propose to
do about it?” demanded the head of
the visitors.
“Come out and look at our skyscrap
ers,” returned the Atlantan. “They are
the finest in the South.”
But even this was denied the strang
ers. They couldn’t see higher than the
second floor.

A CHILD'S WASTE
SLOGGED BOWELS
Makes it cross, peevish,
restless and feverish. If
tongue is coated give
“Syrup of Figs.”
Children dearly love to take delicious
“Syrup of Figs” and nothing else cleans
and regulates their tender little stom
achs. liver and 30 feet of bowels so
promptly and thoroughly.
Children get bilious and constipated
just like grown-ups. Then they get
sick, the tongue is coated, stomach sour,
breath bad; they don’t eat or rest well;
they become feverish, cross, irritable
and don’t want to play. Listen, Moth
ers—for your child’s sake don’t force
the little one to swallow nauseating
castor oil, violent calomel or harsh irri
tants like Cathartic pills. A teaspoon
ful of Syrup of Figs will have your
child smiling and happy again in just a
few hours. Syrtfp of Figs will gently
clean, sweeten and regulate the stom
ach, make the liver active and move on
and out of the bowels all the consti
pated matter, the sour bile, the foul,
clogged-up waste and poisons, without
causing cramps or griping.
With Syrup of Figs you are not drug
ging or injuring your children. Being
composed entirely of luscious figs, sen
na and aromatics, it can not be harm
ful. Full directions for children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly printed
on the package.
Ask your druggist for the full name.
“Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna,”
prepared by the California Fig Syrup
Co. This is the delicious tasting, gen
uine old reliable. Refuse anything else
offered. (Advt.)
TALKS ON PRAYER’S POWER.
Rev. William O. Foster, pastor of
the West End Christian church, will
speak on the power of prayer at the
morning service tomorrow. His sub
ject will be “Teach Us How to Pray.”
Is your husband cross? Ac irritable,
fault-finding disposition is often due to
a disordered stomach. A man with
good digestion is nearly always good
natured. A great many have been per
manently cured of stomach trouble by
taking Chamberlain’s Tablets. For sale
