EYES OFU. S. AHE
ON OIXIE-SLATON
Governor-Elect Finds Entire
East Optimistic and the Bus
iness Outlook Excellent.
John M. Slaton, governor-elect of
| Georgia, returned to Atlanta last night,
t after a month's vacation, spent almost
I entirely in New York city.
I While Mr. Slaton's visit was one of
: pleasure and recreation, he was the re
cipient of much attention by public
men and the newspapers, and found
time to get a pretty straight line on the
: political and business outlook.
| "The optimism of the business world,”
said Mr. Slaton, discussing his trip to
day, "is unmistakable. The people of
the East anticipate nothing but prog
ress and prosperity under Wilson. Ev
erywhere I went, the story was the
same—things are to be all right, with
the Democrats conducting things in
Washington.
Nation Watches South.
"The eyes of the nation, moreover,
are turning toward the South today
as they never have turned before. It
Is realized, in the first place, that, un
<J*r the new order of things in the
national capital, the South is to play
a commanding part. Southern men are
be called to administrative councils
Im Just proportion to the population,
wealth and patriotism of their section
i -The most prominent nnd influential
men In congress today hail from the
i South — Clark. Underwood. Adamson,
Dever and others I might mention.
“But far better than the political
point of view, as concerns the South,
1a the business point of view. The
South Is expected to prosper in the
immediate future in a degree that It
haa not heretofore known.
Georgia Attracts Attention.
in particular, is attracting
I XRmcerful attention. The business
: world of the East has realized that
Georgia is the fourth state in the na
tion agriculturally, and that it is ad
vancing rapidly as a manufacturing
state. Values are looker upon as sure
to increase in Georgia, and far in ad
vance relatively of many other states
"The great strides that the state has
made in removing all forms of illiter
acy Is approved and generally com
mented upop. ’lts agricultural schools
have n wide reputation, and the splen
did and constructive work of the boys’
com clubs lias been taken into eonsid
eratin. and all to Georgia's credit and
advancement.
"Taken all in all, I found nothing in
my trip EaSt that caused me to think
there is anything ahead of us but abun
dant prosperity and good tint, s. all the
way round."
Mrs. Slaton, who accompanied Iho
governor-elect on his vacation, return
ed with him.

' SEAR CHI N G SID E LIG HTS 1
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
i If you wish a supply of congression
garden seed from Senator Hoke
i Smith, you must write and tell him so.
♦
people who appreciate them and put
them to some good purpose. The old
way of sending Tom, Dick and Harry
seed, regardless of whether Thomas,
Richard or Henry cared anything about
flic matter, does not appeal to Sen
ator Smith. The government spends
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually on this free seed distribution,
and a lot of It—some people think the
great bulk of It —goes utterly to waste.
A great people will incline to
think that Senator Smith has the right
idea about the method whereby those
free seed are to be sent out. If a
man isn't willing to write a letter, or
even a postal, to the senator to let
him know the seed are desired, sure
ly the senator is abundantly justified
in believing that he doesn't care much
about the seed, anyway, one way or
the other.
It may be stated upon pretty high
authority that Howard Thompson, of
Hall, Is in a fairway to land Walter
Johnson's present United states rnar
tjbalship. and that the landing will take
place very shortly after President Wil
son is sworn In as president.
In the distribution of Federal pie, ft
has been considered relatively sure all
along that "Slick” Thompson was sute
to get his slice—but until very recent
ly the exact size, shape and quality pt’
that slice had not been determined
upon.
However, everything Is said to have
been fixed up all right, at last —and
Thompson is to be United States mar
shal for the Northern district of Geor
gia.
And it’s a mighty good job, too!
From Gainesville has come to the
state insurance department the first
request tinder the new insurance law
for an official inspection and investt-
gation of a tire, the origin of which the
insurance companies involved wish to
see iinini! takably traced, if possible.
Under the new law, tlie various fire
insurance companies operating in
Georgia pa\ annually a. part of their
premium income into tlie state treas
ury, ToT (lie exjaqss purpose of main
taining a fund to pay a fire marshal,
whose duties it shall be to Investigate
exhaustively and report upon al fires
of a suspicious or mysterious character.
It is anticipated that the sum of $5,-
000 annually will pay the tire marshal
for ibis work, and care for the other
expenses as well, and the drain on the
companies is very slight individually.
The new insurance law Is working
sntoothl) In all of Its branches, and
the department believes that both life
and tire insurance business within this
state shortly will be conducted upon
ideal lines in every way.

sfon more or less pressure brought
to bear upon them on the subject
of woman suffrage. And they might
as well face the problem and decide
I it in the way in which it must
i finally be decided, for all recognize
that it is now merely a matter of
time before the entire United
, States will put men and women on
I a political equality with an equal
l ( say in the making of laws which
must govern the interests of all
! alike. Universal suffrage will beat
national prohibition to the tank,
yet.
At least one. probably more, bills
will be introduced in the next Georgia
1 legislature looking to woman suffrage.
It is not likely that a bill will be
’ passed in the next genera! assembly,
however, conferring any considerable
right of suffrage upon women in this
state, if any. But there is not a pub-
■ lie man in Georgia today who does not
' realize that woman suffiage is coming
in Georgia, and that before a great
many years have passed.
The gap will be let down gradually—
-1 a little at first, and then it will be
extended to the point where woman ill
Georgia will stand absolutely equal, in
1 the matter of voting, with man.
And there are mighty few men who
1 do not think, if they are willing to
speak the truth frankly and without
■ reserve, that it will be a good thing—
-1 and that it may work great reforms in
'■ politics.
The new representative in the next
■ legislature from the new county of
Wheeler will be Douglas McArthur—a
man everybody knows and everybody
likes,
i The member ftyom Wheeler wili be
named in a special election called in
the act creating the county, and Mc-
Arthur will be the one and only can
didate voted for.
A few years ago, the new county of
Ben Hili sent Marion Dixon to the
house as Its first member after crea
tion, and a question was raised as to
his right to a seat. Joe Hill Hall held
that Dixon was not entitled to sit in
the house, because no provision had
been made for him in the act creating
lien Hill county. The house is the sole
and only Judge of the qualifications of
its members, however, and upon a vote
of the house Dixon was seated, by an
overwhelming majority'.
It is not anticipated. In view of the
care exercised in drawing the act cre
ating Wheeler, that a point against the
seating of McArthur will be raised. And
If it should be, the chances are that the
house will seat him, anyway.

r n PASTOR FOE
OF BLIND TIGERS
AUGUSTA. GA., Dec. 2.—ls -there
are any blind tigers in Atlanta Dr. H.
M. Dußose. the new pastor of the First
Methodist church, will certainly go
gunning for them and he will not be
long about it. During his two years as
pastor of the St. Johns Methodist
church, of Augusta, Dr. Dußose has
made things extremely uncomfortable
for law-breakers. He spoke right out
in meeting about the condition of af
fairs In this city.
As the leading spirit in the minis
terial alliance, Dr. Dußose framed and
had passed some of the strongest reso
lutions against local conditions that
have ever been read here. Mayor
Thomas Barrett was attacked repeat
edly. although what has been going on
under the Barrett administration is not
any worse than has been going on for
many years under other administra
tions
As far as gambling in Augusta is
concerned, it is believed to have been
effectually stopped, but as for selling
whisky that, seemingly', will go on for
ever, as the juries refuse to convict and
the sentiment of the people seems to be
in favor of selling whisky.
Dr. Dußose is a brilliant writer and
speaker and he had many strong sup
porters here in his attacks on local con- I
ditions, but they were hopelessly out
numbered.

gia. ’ I
Says The News:
The weekly papers are limited
in their sphere, but, combined, they
form a tower of strength for any
cause they espouse. The great dai
lies did not render better service in
their sphere than did the weeklies
in theirs. We all had a hand in the
killing of Cock Robin.
Any candidate for office who ever has i
’ gone up against” tlie weekly press of
the state is in position to testify to the
accuracy of The News’ observations
with respect to its influence and
strength.
There isn’t a better, cleaner or more
patriotic weekly press in the nation
than that of Georgia.
Chief Judge Ben Hill, of the court of j
appeals, has discovered that the oath I
commonly taken by the supreme court
justices is not tlie actual oatli pre
scribed for them by' law, but something
different—at least in form, if not in
substance.
Justice Atkinson seems to be the only’
member of the highest court in the
state who has taken the real oath out
lined for that court. It is probable that
the entire court will be resworn accord
ing to prescribed form, if Judge Hill’s
contention be agreed to.
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff: cleanses, purifies and invig
orates the scalp, forever stopping itch
ing and tailing 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.)

IN COTTON PATCH 27
MILES OFF RAILWAY
MONTGOMERY, ALA., Dec. 2.—The
only bank in the world located in a cotton
field is at Falco, Ala., 27 miles from a rail
road. State Superintendent of Banks A.
E. Walker has just returned here from
Falco, where he opened the institution
after driving to the town by conveyance.
T was surprised when 1 got into the
town to note that the bank building was
In the center of a big cotton patch,” said
Superintendent Walter. "The nearest
building is 100 yards away. The bank has
i the only paved sidewalk in Falco. I have
opened many banks, but never before have
I I launched one in a cotton field."
Falco is in Covington county, about
four miles from the Florida line. It has
five stores. The bank is capitalized at
$15,000.
Superintendent Walker has approved the
application of the Union Savings bank, of
Mobile, to increase its capital from $25,000
to $500,000.

CLEAN YDUR LIVLR AND 30 FEET
OF BOWELSm'WOE FIGS''
More effective than calomel, castor oil or salts; gently
cleanses the stomach, liver and bowels without
nausea or griping. Children dearly love it.
Y’ou know when your liver is bad,
when your bowels are sluggish. You
fee! a certain dullness and depression,
perhaps the approach of a headache,
your stomach gets sour and full of gas,
tongue coated, breath foul, or you have
indigestion. You say, "I am bilious or
constipated and I must take something
tonight.”
Most people shrink from a physic—
Hiey think of castor oil, calomel, salts
or cathartic pills.
It’s different with Syrup of Figs. Its
effect is as that of fruit; of eating
coarse food; of exercise. Take a tea
spoonful of delicious Syrup of Figs to
night and you won't realize you have
taken anything until morning, when all
the clogged up waste matter, sour bile
and constipation poisons move on and
out of your system, without gripe,
mayor, A. B. Vickery, has mad A an ex

nausea or weakness. Nothing else
cleanses and regulates your sour, dis
ordered stomach, torpid liver and thirty
feet of waste-clogged bowels like gen
tle, effective Syrup of Figs. Don’t
think you are drugging yourself. B e .
ing composed entirely of luscious fig.,
senna and aromatics, it can not caus/
injury.
If your child is cross, sick and fever
ish, or its little stomach sour, tongu
coated, give Syrup of Figs at once. It’s
really all that is needed to make chil
dren well and happy again. They dear
ly love its pleasant taste.
Ask your druggist for the full name
"Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna ’
and look on the label for the name-
California Fig Syrup Company. That
and that only, is the genuine. Refuse
any other fig syrup substitute with con
tempt. (Advt.)
