About 800 new names were added to

Clm! e | d to , le,lni tha ‘ ho is rapidly con
valescing In a local sanitarium from an
acute illness, necessitating a slight op
eration, for which he has been under
treatment for the past ten days.
Solicitor Pottle is the brother of
Judge Robert N. Pottle, of the state
court of appeals, and Is personally one
of the most popular and widely known
men in Georgia.
Joseph R. Wilson, the "kid brother”
of President-elect Woodrow Wilson, is
a newspaper man of Nashville, and has
numerous friends and acquaintances in
Georgia.
He is a most likeable chap, and his
friends in Nashville are giving him a
“hoodoo dinner" in the Tennessee capi
tal tonight, byway of evidencing their
friendship, and because—well, because
he is the next president’s brother, and
isn’t a bit “swell headed" about, even
if he is immensely’ proud of it.
This Friday, 13, hoodoo dinner" is
to be a “josh banquet”—whatever that
is, exactly—so the announcements say,
and it will be participated in by about
200 of young Wilson’s friends and ac
quaintances throughout the Volunteer
state.
All the ancient and honorable “Fri
day, 13," superstitions will be played
upon for "the kid brother’s” benefit—
and the president-elect himself is to
come In for a lot of good-natured
banter.
That Floyd county is in dead earnest
about enforcing the state prohibition
law is abundantly attested in the fact
that Judge Maddox has sent four well
known white men convicted of violating
the law to the county chaingang for
long terms this year, and that without
the alternative of a fine.
Two of these men—one of them at
one time quite a prominent political in
fluence in Floyd—went to the “gang"
without protest, but the other two car
ried their case's to the court of appeals.
In a batch of decisions handed down
recently, however, the appeals court as- |
firmed the lower court's findings and
sentences, and now these defendants
must join the other two in the Floyd
county convict road camp.
Judge Maddox announced that he
would impose chaingang sentences in
the future, in the event defendants were
convicted by juries of violations of the I
prohibition law, and he has more than
kept his word thus far.
Captain Harry P. Mciklehain, the

came to Atlanta last night to attend

son at the Capital City club.
j Captain Meikleham is one of the
most enthusiastic officers of the Geor
gia National Guard and is particularly
fond of General Anderson, under whom
he served for several years.
