Both Miss 1I “i the negro were badly ■ut both will recover. now 32 new names that even body will approve of heartily. I They are 32 blind Confederate sol diers who. under an act passed by the last legislature, have had their pen sions increased from S6O per annum to About 800 new names were added to the pension roll this year, by reason of the new law and otherwise— but these 32. somehow, will seem a little more welcome to the state’s pittance than *iny of them, of course. Solicitor General Joseph E. Pottle’s friends throughout Georgia will be 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 mayor-town council-police-force-su- preme court-justice of the peace-and i lord-high-everything-else of Lindale, came to Atlanta last night to attend a banquet to Generat Clifford Ander 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.

' The colonel, smiling and looking in the best of health, waved his hand at the • newspaper pten and shouted that he felt I "bully,” but refused to comment 'on the Bull Moose convention. “Nothing to say.
