LONGSTREET’S
WIDOW
President Announces She Will
Not Lose Gainesville
Postoffice Job.
Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet, postmaster
of Gainesville, will not be removed from
office by President Taft, notwithstand
ing the tight made on her and the fact
that her present commission expitos on
Saturday of this week
President Taft authorized tile state
ment In Washington, after a cabinet
meeting late yesterday afternoon, that
he will not disturb Mrs. Longstreet, and
she has been so informed.
The president, speaking through his
postmaster general, does not say that
he will reappoint Mrs. Longstreet So a
new term of four years. He merely
says he will not remove her for another.
' It may be that she will be permitted
to serve under her present commission
until the new administration takes hold
in Washington. In that event, the
question of her continuance in office
will be*quarely up to President Wood
row Wilson.
Henry S. Jackson, of Atlanta, has
denied that he ever took active steps to
have Mrs. Ixmgstreet removed, or that
•he requested the president to appoint
some one else In her stead. He has ex
prssed the opinion, however, that she
has no righteous claim on the office, and
that, in view of he.r open hostility to
Taft, and severe criticism of his nomi
nation, she could ask for reappointment
with very poor grace, if at all.
Since the fight was started against
her in Gainesville. Mrs. Longstreet Im--
exprMned the greatest confidence that
President Taft would not remove het
It is now reported in Gainesville that
Mrs. Longstreet will ask for a nomi
nating primary, In which she may be a
candidate for reappointment to a full
term under President Wilson.

Atlanta School Children Observe Arbor Day

An Atlanta school pupil planting one of the 2<>.<HK> catalpa
trees set out bv children today.
Quick-Growing Catalpa Chosen
Because of Heavy and Or
namental Foliage.
For the lli.-t time in years Atlanta
really is obscri i.ig V.iair day and be
fore sundown Ilin school children will
have dotted every section of the city
witli quick-growing" two-year-old cn
talpa trees, about 20,000 in all.
While Arbor day always has been
celebrated more or less in Atlanta
schools -observed in away to teach
children tin necessity of trees ami
green things in cities —there had been
but little tier planting, and that has
been confined exclusively to school
property, save where the grownups en
tered into the spirit of the day.
Ph armacy Furnishes Trees.
But this year, through the agency of
Jacobs' Pharmacy, tills Arbor day will
mean something to future Atlanta, and
upon the success of this year's experi
ment depends perhaps n large amount
of Hie city's future beauty.
Arbor due is observed generally in
big cities and it is typically a city hol
iday, although in tiie older count ty sec
tions, where timber Is scarce and the
necessity of shade trees is realized, it
lias become popular.
J. Sterling Morton, former secretary
of agriculture ami father of Paul Mor
ton. a Roosevelt cnbiin t member, es
tablished Arbor day. The elder Mor
ton was a tree enthusiast and took for
his motto: "Plant Trees.”
With this slogan, he contorted the
rolling prairit s of his country estate
near Nebraska t'ity. N'ebr., into one of
the choicest bits of woodland in Amer
ica.
Catalpas Grow Quickly.
With plenty of money to push his
hobby, Morton, spread his “plant trees"
propaganda throughout the ■ country,
until Arbor day became a recognized
day. legalized as a Holiday in several
states.
Tree enthusiasts ate aware that At
lanta needs more shade, as much as
any one thing to supplement the city’s
lather meager | irk system, and today
is to bi. a real \rbor dax in the tree
planting sense of the term.
In the school considerable time is be
ing glVi n over to the lessons of the
day. Tent hets will use the occasion to
implant a love for the things of nature,
trees and green tilings that go to make
tiie cits beautiful.
in choosing tile trees to plant, the
quick-growing catalpa. known in some
sections as tin Indian cigar tree from
its long brown seed pods, the directors
of tltt Arbor day observance have se
lect'! a tree tl at is being used widely
in many seettoris for shade purposes.

"Ise out, Mr. Carey," he said.

Carey asked him if he had any money
"Not a cent,” he replied, cutting short

Mr. Catev handed him a dollar. The

"That's a good negro.” said Mr. Carey,
j when Will had gone. "We caught him
acting as the agent of a "blind tiger' out

Socialist Sees Dire Conditions
For Future, and End of
Solid South.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.—Declaring
that "if it had not been for Mr. Roose
velt and his senii-Sotiallst platform,
the Socialists would undoubtedly' have
polled 2,000,000 votes” in the last elec
tion, instead of 1.000,00a, Representative
Victor Berger, the only Socialist in con
gress, predicted today that the new
: Democratic administration under Pres.
ideiit-elifct Wilson would fail to satisfy
the people and that there would lie a
big industrial panic in the course of
the next two years.
"The Republican party was smashed,
but the Democratic party was almost
repudiated,", say s Berger, analy zing the
ii suit of the election and pointing out
that Wilson had 1,000,000 less votes
than William J. Bryan polled four
years ago.
"The Democratic party, of course."
continued Be. ger. "will have all tin. j
Federal offices for four years and is.
therefore, jubilant. But it will also
have all the responsibilities and trou
bles during the next four years that
the ’Republican party has had in the
past.
"In other words, while the Republi
cans were defeated because they were
conservative, the Democrats will get
theirs because they are reactionary.
"And the poor Democratic ■.party is
controlled by a coalition of the South
and Tammany. It can not help being
i < act lona ry .
"An industrial panic is due in about
a year. That will mein ‘Democratic
hard times' and 'soup kitchens.’ This
time the panic will struts the South,
break up the solid South and give rise
to riots and disturbances,
“There is really no difference between
tile Democratic and Republican parties
as tile paities now stand in congress.
Formerly the pie counter formed the
bridge that connected the factions of
tile Democratic party, but there is not
1 olitical pie enough to supply' all the
hungry Democratic statesmen.”

Oh, Haste to the Feasting!
"You can not postpone the inaugural ceremonies from March 4 to the
latter part of April—jobless Democrats would be too weak and hungry to
march in April," says Charles White- sergeant-at-arms of the New York
state Democratic committee. —News item.
BY J. B. NEVIN.
I ve waited for ages, out here in tiie cold,
For a chance to slip in where it’s warm.
I’ve peeked through the window, and gazed through
the door—
For years I have viewed with alarm.
And, now that the table is set for my feast,
Ami the dinner bell ready to sound.
It certainly is painful when some one suggests,
“Let’s not eat till April comes round!”
On crusts and cold water too long have I led;
Inside I'm rebellious and sad.
I’m thin, and I'm hungry—and that isn't all—
I in supremely disgusted and mad!
1 fain would sit in where I've long been denied,
And delay not the sitting one day;
1 think I can live till the Fourth day of March,
But till April? Why. I'd fade away!
Oh. now that the winecup draws near to my lips—
It’s bouquet alluring and sweet—
Why should 1 put off the drinking? And why.
Since the feast's there, should 1 not eat.’
Sing me not April, its blossoms and green—
Its budding of linden and larch.
Why wait for April a famine to stop,
When the stopping is better in March?
What gibbering idiot, loose from his cage.
Suggested this postponement thought?
Perhaps he's the fiend who knocks Santa Claus,
And tells us that kids should be taught
That Santa is only a make-believe thing—
A faker that folks should reject.
This sordid and sinister “Put it off” hint
Comes not from a friend, 1 suspect!
But, peace to my fretting, my vexings, and pain;
There'll be no delay. I opine.
When hunger is gnawing, and banquets are spread.
It is time for the faithful to dine.
So, on with the music; let April go hang!
Bring wine for iny lips, ere they parch.
. King loud the bell—let the feasting begin
At noon, on the Fourth day of March!

: Millions are used every year—and
when every other man or woman you
meet recommends them to you. if you
will but inquire—why do you continue
to suffer from stomach trouble?
The reasons why Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets are such a widely used remedy
are very easy to understand. These
tablets contain almost the same ele
ments as the gastric juices of the stom

and not working just right. It does not
give out enough of the natural diges

food you eat. So if you will only give
the stomach a little help by taking a
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet after meals,
you will relieve the stomach of its chief
duty and allow it the rest it needs to
recuperate. One grain of the active
principle in a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
