dent and Senator Hoke Smith, of Geor
gia, first vice president of the National

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.THURSDAY. DECEMBER 5. 1912.
NEW YORK. Dec. 4.—With spar
kling eyes, in which was pictured hap
piness. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt step
ped down the gangway of the French
steamer LaSavoie this week while the
sailors stood at attention and the boat
swain piped her over the side under the
escort of Captain Tourette.
As she reached the pier Paul Faguet,
agent of the line, presented the' "Divine
Sarah” with a bouquet of American
Beauties and a bunch of brown chrys
anthemums, after which she was es
corted to a waiting automobile and
taken to the Hotel Marie Antoinette to
await the departure of her train for
Chicago.
Mme. Bernhardt—she is sixty-nine
years old now. and a great-grandmoth
er—looked in much better health than
on her last voyage to this country. She
wore a yellow doeskin coat, three-quar
ters length, trimmed with brown fur. a
brown hat and brown satin shoes to
match. At the hotel she held a recep
tion after a light breakfast.
Glad To Be Back.
"I am very glad of the opportunity
of appearing before the American peo
ple,” she said, her voice still as sweet
as ever. She said she had chosen those
acts for her vaudeville appearance
which would give the opportunity of
presenting to tlie public the highest
dramatic art.
With Mme. Bernhardt on the Savoie
was her company of players, numbering
twenty-five. The tour is to last twenty
weeks, under the management of Mar
tin Beck. The itinerary includes Chi
cago, where she opened her engage
ment; Milwaukee, Minneapolis. Winni
peg, Edmonton, Calgary, Victoria, Seat
tle, Portland, Tacoma, San Francisco.
Los Angeles and probably Chicago
again.
Her repertoire will include the third
act of “Lucrezla Borgia” fifth act of
“Camille.” fourth act of “Theodora,”
fourth act of “La Tosca,” second act
of "Phedre” and a one-act play writ
ten for her by her son. Maurice, en
titled “Une Nuit de Noel."
Brings American Dog.
Owing to the delay of the steamer
through storms, special arrangements
had to be made to get the Bernhardt
array of personal and theatrical trunks
to Grand Central station in time for the
train. Miss Hornsby, the English com
panion to madame, had some difficulty
in explaining to the customs officials
that madame’s Pomeranian dog. Beli
dor. was American born and had been
presented to her on her last visit to
New York by American friends.
During the wait in the hotel she great
French m tress discussed the suffragette
situation, saying that she thought the
action of the English suffragettes in
pouring acid into mail boxes was
“crazy.”
When asked what she thought of the
situation in this country, she replied
that she did not think women were
physically suited to take part in the
government, and that although peace
ful methods of propaganda were being
followed here there was always the
danger of the women following the lead
of their English sisters should they re
ceive any ridicule.

VIENNA. Dec. s.—Two Greek war
ships are bombaiding Avlona. the most
important seaport along the lower Al
banian coa>t, according to a telegram
received today by the Nieu Frei Presse,
from Ismail Kiamil Bey, provisional
president of the autonomous govern
ment of Albania and head of the Al
banian Nationalist committee. The
Greek fire was directed especially
against buildings over which the Al
banian flag was flying.
Ismail Kiamil Bey, who went to Av
lona from Austria to perfect the details
of the Albanian provisional govern
ment, announces that it has been form
ed with a complete portfolio of offices.
'The provisional cabinet includes Mo
hammedans and members of the Green
orthodox church, in order that all re
ligious factions of the country might
have representation.
Greece Expected
To Make Peace
CONSTANTINOPLE. Dee.
tiations between Greece and Turkey
have been broken off by the uitter gov
ernment, but it was announced today
by the newspaper Ikdam that an armis
tice would be signed within a few days.
It was officially stated that the nego
tiations at Baghtche between the en
voys of the two governments had col
lapsed last night, after a fruitless day
of effort to arrive at terms.
Tut key and Greece were formally in
a state of war today, but representa
tives of foreign governments in Con
stantinople were working to bring the
belligerents together before the 'begin
ning of peace negotiations.
Reports from western Albania said
the Greeks are still on the offensive
against Turkish forces, having bom
barded several places on the lower
coast, where Turkish and Albanian
troops were quartered. f
This has caused the Turkish war of
fice to hasten its preparations for the
continuation of the campaign in Epirus,
where an attempt will be made to reach
Janina unless an armistice’ is speedily
concluded.
Evidences of coolness between the
Greek and the Bulgarian governments
are reflected in the attitude of the en
voys toward each other.
Preparations are under way here, ac
cording to the terms of the armistice,
with the Balkan states proper, for the
supplying of provisions to the Bulgar
army lying along the Chatalja lines.
Stores which had been provided in the
event that Constantinople would have
been forced to undergo a long siege
were opened for the use of the Bul
garians.
In return non-combatants in Adri
anople will be kept from starvation by
the Bulgarians who will carry victuals
into the besieged city.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
That the very hub about which
state politics necessarily revolves is the
governor, is abundantly evident in the
F -
big capitol this
week, from the
standpoint of a
newspaper man,
any way.
The governor is
attending the na
tional "house of
governor s” in
Richmond, an d.
although he is
away, the capitol
mice—no disre
spect intended in
any quarter—re
fuse and neglect
to play, neverthe
less.
Governor Brown
is very much the
center of his ad-
ministration. His personality perme
ates it thoroughly—his individuality
colors it surely,’ and colors it Brown
moreover.
In the event the governor’s absence
should make necessary the exercise of
the executive authority by some per
son other than the governor, that other
person would be John M. Slaton, presi
dent of the late state senate; and
that. too. notwithstanding the fact that
the late senate already has been suc
ceeded, in so far as its election is con
cerned. by a new senat, .
While the law is not altogether clear
as to the matter, eminent lawyers hold
that tlie president of tile senate, in his
capacity of heir apparent to the gov
ernorship, during the continuance of
tlie legislature of which he is an active
part, retains that (elation until the ex
piration of the governor’s terni. and the
assembling and organization of a new
legislature, notwithstanding the fact
that a new legislature, in the mean
time, may have been duly elected.
In that view of the case. .Mr. Slaton,
governor-elect, still is heir apparent to
the governorship, and. in the event of
tlie disqualification or.death of Govern
or Brown, would immediately succeed
him as acting governor.
The idea that it would be necessary
to assemble and organize the new sen
ate and elect a president to succeed the
governor is a mistake,
James W. Mitehell, of Atlanta, calls
attention to the fact that William E.
Simmons, a son of James P. Simmons,
elector for Georgia in the national pres
idential election of 52 years ago, is an
elector for Georgia this year.
In the election of the long ago re
ferred to, Georgia furnished the can
didate for vice president'for whom the
Georgia electors voted, in the person
of Herschel V r . Johnson —one of this
state’s immortals —Snd he tan on the
ticket with Stephen A. Douglass.
On the Georgia electoral ticket that
year were some very distinguished
men. Heading it was Alexander H.
Stephens, "the great commoner," after
ward vice president of the Confeder
acy and governor of Georgia, and Au
gustus R. Wright, father of Seaborn
Wright and afterward member of the
Confederate congress.
Besides these two, there were the
following great Georgians: James L.
Seaward, Benjamin Y. Martin. Nathan
Reception to Black Patti and Songbirds Raided
"CHIDLINS” FEAST COSTLY
“Chidlin’s” and lager beer as an aid
to singing may be popular with Black
Patti and her musical comedy com
pany, which is at the Orpheum this
week, but Henry Parks, an Atlanta ne
gro and admirer of the dusky singer s
voice, today resolved that it is a costly
proposition to tickle the palate of the
singer with this combination.
Not that Black Patti dispatched more
“chidlin’s” and consumed more beer
than he had anticipated, but all be
cause the law took a hand in the en
tertainment, his “reception" was i iid
ed. and Recorder Broyles yesterday
afternoon "soaked” him for $25.75 for
violation of the near-beer ordinance.
As a result, Henry says he thinks he’ll
allow some other devotee of the famous
black singer to act as host in the next
“chldlln’ ’’-beer affair.
Beer Flows Freely.
Henry and his wife have known and
admired Black Patti for a long while,
and, by special invitation, assembled
the singer and her whole company

IE DELICIOUS "W OF FIGS”
Waste-clogged bowels, torpid liver and decaying food
in stomach cause the sick headache, gas, back
ache, sallowness, biliousness and indigestion.
All women Ret bilious, headachy and
constipated—simply because they don't
exercise enough. They don't eat
coarse food, or enough fruit and green
vegetables. Those are nature's ways
of keeping the liver and 30 feet of
bowels active; but very few women
employ them. The next best way is

Nearly all ills of women can be
overcome with Syrup of Figs alone.

In those days Georgia picked her
giants for the electoral ticket!
The Thomas county grand jury has
called upon the Georgia legislature to
lend a hand in putting an end to some
very undesirable practices it has made
note of in its vicinity.
The grand jury says:
Year after year Thomas county
is infested with peddlers of almost
every description, selling what 1s
claimed as medicines. pictures,
sewing machines, furniture, cloth
ing etc., to negroes and some white
people, charging enormous prices
for their wares and taking mort
gages and notes in payment there
for. We find further, that in the
fall of the year these peddlers or
their concerns send around collec
tors, and that the latter greatly
disturb the farm labor by their
proceedings to the disorganization
of business and financial injury and
loss to our citizens.
This condition of things is not pe
culiar to Thomas county. Indeed, there
is hardly a county in tlie state that is
not similarly afflicted. And if the next
legislature will take the matter in hand
and seek to regulate it rigidly, the re
sulting legislation doubtless will be
approved from one end of Georgia to
the other.
Commissioner of Commerce and La
bor Stanley has returned to Atlanta
after attending the annual meeting of
the National Civic Federation in Wash
ington as Georgia’s official represen
tative.
Mr. Stanley says the all-important
topic discussed at tills meeting was the
proposed workingman's compensation
act now pending in congress, and that
tlie federation is decidedly favorable to
such legislation, despite the fact that
there is division as to tlie merits of the
legislation now proposed.
While in Washington. Commissioner
Stanley witnessed the opening of the
short and final session of the sixty
second congress, and also saw • the
Archbald impeachment proceedings put
under way.
The Rome Press, in contemplating
tlie national vote of Woodrow Wilson,
views the Wilson lack of a majority
witli entire complacency. Indeed, The
Press gets a point of view that is sig
nificant. and well worth thinking upon.
Tile Rome paper says:
Those who have been adding up
the Republican and Progressive
votes to prove that Mr. Wilson was
elected by a minority of the people
can take it that the calculation is
as broad as it is long. It is true,
if you wish, that 7,585,247 votes, or
perliaps a few hundred more or less
when California gets through
counting, rejected Mr. Wilson; but
1u.512.154 rejected Mr. Taft, and
i',791.933 rejected Colonel Roosevelt.
The vital fact is that 50 per cent
more votes were east for Mr. Wil
son than for either of his oppo
nents. to say nothing of the elec
toral majority of Mr, Wpson.
After all, a genuine optimist always
can switch figures around in such wise
that they bring sunshine and joy un

New Mayor Happier Over De
feat of Exposition Plan
Than Over Election.
James G. Woodward is happier to
day over the defeat of the proposition
to deed Lakewood park to an exposi
tion company than he is over hlz third
formal election as mayor of Atlanta.
He fully expected his nomination by
the Democrats for the office of mayor
to be ratified in the general election
yesterday; but he was not so sure
about the fate of the Lakewood project.
That plan was fathered by Aldine
Chambers and, despite Mr. Woodward's
protest, a large majority of the city
council voted to submit it to the people.
It was defeated by a vote of 1,546 to
890.
The total vote in yesterday's election
was 2,794, the largest vote ever cast in
a normal general election. Four years
ago Mr. Woodward was defeated by
Robert F. Maddox in a general election
after he had received the Democratic
nomination.
The strength of the Socialists totaled
only 43 votes.
Mr. Woodward said today that cer
tain influences were art -work to defeat
him by a conspiracy with the negro
vote, but that publicity had frightened
the conspirators to abandon their plan.
More than half of the city hall offi
cials were candidates in the election
yesterday. They begin their new terms

clogged bowels, which cause your stom

first step to untold misery—lndigestion,
foul gases, bad breath, yellow skin,
mental fears, everything that Is horri

you sleep—a 10-cent box from your
druggist will keep you feeling good for
months. Millions of men and women
take a Cascaret now and then to keep

lated. and never know a miserable mo
ment. Don't forget the children—their
ittle insides need a good, gentle cleans
ing, too. (Advt.)
