6 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. AUGUSTA VOTERS TO CHOOSE MAYOR AND COUNCIL WEDNESDAY AUGUSTA, GA.. Dec. 2.-On Wednes day either Dr. ,1. It.

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.

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.

MON DAY, DECEMBER 2, 1912. 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. i credit for the Wilson victory in Geor 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.)

The retiring 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 cellent record. His friencTs were! unable to induce him to make the raceit’or re election. K 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.)
