Silver Writing Set Presented to
Couple by Many Friends
on Islands.
A newspaper which came yesterday
10 Atlanta from Manila tells the story
of honor which has been attained
by an Atlanta man 1n the Phlllplnes.
He is James C. Jenkins, former Oeor-
Hiitn. and now Judg** of the United
Atifes District Court of Pangaslnan.
The Manila Daily Bulletin tells of
m tribute paid Mm. and Mrs Jenkins
recently at a farewell dinner upon
Hie eve of their departure for the
A tales on a ahort vacation trip.
Judge and Mrs. Jenkins left Ma
nila March 25, en route for the United
States by way of ISurope. They will
spend n short time in their old home
and will return to reach the Inlands
In the late summer. In Atlanta they
will be with their daughter. Mrs. Will
L. Meador.
The entertainment of which the
Manila paper tells was an elaborate
iffair given by the bar and officers
*>f the court of Pangaslnan, at Lin-
ga\en. and was held in the Govern
ment building. Present were mos:
of the prominent Americans of the
province's populace. A handsome sil
ver writing set was presented to
Judge and Mrs. Jenkins
Judge Jenkins has been in the
province of Pangaslnan about seven
vears. going there upon appointment
by President Roosevelt. Until his
departure for the Islands, he pra
ticed law in Atlanta.
Evidence of the esteem achieved by
Judge Jenkins in his new surround
ings in borne in lengthy resolutions
adopted by the bar and court of the
Pangaslnan elr< ukt upon the occasion
of the entertainment. Commending
him as a man and as a judge, they
provided that a copy be forwarded
to President \Vilaon. The friends of
Judge Jenkins in the Philippines say
that they are giad in- i- there, and
that they want him to say.
Mrs. Jenkins was not forgoM*n in
the resolutions. Tn fact, the docu
ment declared that the Judg*- could
not have attained hfo station had it
not been for Mrs. Jenkins, fine of
the sections declared:
“It is believed thut the success that
Has ..rownod the efforts of Judge Jen
kins in his career thus far in 111V
has not been due wholly to his own
efforts, but in part to the preeeiua
of his good wife In tin* home ami tin-
great assistance she has ever ren
dered in solving the knotty problems
of the clay, smoothing the rougu
places In life’s put iwa\, dispersing
the clouds and letting in the sun-
•dilnc and shove all the wielding of
that divine influence which is charac
teristic of the good wife in the home.
To. Mrs. Jenkins we « an assign all
of this ond more."
Judge* and Mrs. Jenkfhs will be in
Atlanta about May 10. according to
a letter to Mrs. Meador. Before com-
ihg to Atlanta the> will stop for

LOS A NORFFS. \pril 26.- With
•many a. flash from her famous glair
gray eyes and nn occasional tilt Of
a nose which Harrison Fisher, the
artist, has declared the most fetching
typo to be see in America, Mauriao
Rasmussen, "the girl with the slash

ginal Harrison Fisher girl, told how
ei girl should cultivate herself to be
a model for a great artist.
"It takes undying sacrifice," she
said. “It’s a struggle against human
impulses every moment.
"Regularlt> of habit, untiring pa
tience with the moods of the artist
and the ability to catch a pose and
hold it are the chief requirement*
of Mr. Fisher's models."

Prairie Schooner
In Suffrage Parade
Col. W. F. Cody Sends Covered Wag
on to Suffragists for Use
on May 3.
N’FW YORK. April 26. When the
great suffrage parade tfavorites the
stivrts on May j. one of it* features
will be a prairie schooner—a regular
one. too. loaded with members of the
NVw York Suffrage Association. This
covered -wagon will be the property of
no less an advocate of votes for wom-
en than Uolonel William F. Cody,
better known as "Buffalo Bill."
It is the 1 idea of the suffragist9 ♦«>
make a “caravan campaign" through
the State, beginning late in May. To
transport the campaigners a Covered
wagon is being fixed up. It will not
he ready for the parade. Hence the
necessity of borrowing.
A committee of suffragists, headed
by Mrs. Marie Nelson Lee, called or*
Uolonel Cody at Madison Square Gur-
| den last night and laid the matter be
fore him. The colonel said the ladies
might use hie covered wagon, and
enough mules to haul it. any tinu
they wanted it. Then ho told them ie
was an out-and-put suffragist, alb:
they .tJI h ft Clinging him a mighty
nice sort of man.
that the House will be presided over
by <i former adherent of Smith and
the Senate presided over bv a former
adherent of Brown, and that will be
im even a break as anybody could
figure. It should Insure equitable ana
fair distribution of committee assign
ments ap»l leaderships*in tie* Genera!
Assembly, and it should remove all
partisan color from legislation ef
fected, particularly with a non-parti
san Executive directing the entire,
proceedings.
Financial Tangle First.
The first endeavor of the incom
ing administration will be to get
some sort of order into the State’s
chaotic financial System. This can
not Ik* done by an Executive alone,
no matter how- willing he may. be.
But it can be effected through friendly
and patriotic co-operation in the
General Assembly, such as now seems
assured.
The limit of the State’s taxing
power having been fixed Uonstitu-
tionally at five mills, two things are
necessary. First to keep the appro
priations within the State's indome;
and, second, to hold definite appro
priations within it certain percen
tage? of the five mills limit.
In other words, the civil establish
ment should not run over such a
fraction of five mills limit, the
military establishment should not run
over such and such a fraction, the
educational establishment should not
run over such and such a fraction,
and so on—all totalling, of course,
not more than the presclbed five mills
limit.
If the General Assembly ran over
the various sub-limits agreed upon,
the excesses simj !> would i».- void
and not embarrassing to the Sfate af
ter the adjournment of the General
Assembly.
As the matter lias stood. Legisla
tures have appropriated right and
left, without regard to the State’s
Income, thus putting the Executive
department invariably "up a tree’
in the matter of meeting the reck
less appropriations enacted into law.
The legislators have "taken care of
the folks at home," in so far as
the records are concerned, but they
have done it by putting upon the
Executive impossible requirements
and situations. The Slaton program
is designed to correct this, and it
unquestionably will, if enacted into
law.
So earnest is the incoming gover
nor to this reform, that he stated in
a public speech recently his deter
mination to hold the Legislature
within the State’s income, if he 1ms to
do it by vetoing the big general ap
propriation bill in its entirety, which
temporarily would tie up every State
institution. And although no gov
ernor ever has done this, those who
know Governor Slaton are convinced
that be would take the heroic step
indicated, if it came to that. The
impression Is. however, that the mat
ter will not reach that stage.
Board of Equalizers.
Dovetailing Into this primary, ap
propriations proposition and com-
plemental to it. will be the sugges
tion of a board of tax equalizers.
Such a board undoubtedly would
greatly Increase the State’s present
income, and make it possible for the
Legislature to appropriate larger
amounts than heretofore to the var
ious State institutions, and without
running ahead of, or even up to, the
five mills limit.
Tin* present total Income of the
State is between $6,000,000 and ST,-
It oo annually. A wall balanced
j board of tax equalizers likely would I
increase it to from $S,000,000 to $10.-
000,000. An inheritance tax also will
be Suggested as a fine revenue pro
ducer.
The coming Legislature 1s expected
to follow the Executive lead, too. in
the matter of reforming the present
exacting and bunglesome registra
tion laws, and provide by way of sub
stitute therefore a system of per
manent registration, simple In op
eration and definite In provision, but
preserving the absolute Integrity of
the ballot, of course.
Reforms will be eff< cted In the
matter of paying the common school
teachers their salaries promptly,
rather that after long delay, which
cannot be avoided under the opera
tion of the present system; and In
paying the Confederate soldiers their
annual stipends.
Various members are coming to the
capital in June. With ambitious in
dividual programs of legislation, and
from them may come some splendid
reforms and progressive enactments.
Among subjects sure to come up
for legislative consideration are
child labor laws, compulsory educa
tion. the establishment of a highways
commission to pave the way for co
operation with "Uncle Sam" in the
forthcoming extension of Federal aid
to good roads construction, further
regulation of the near-beer laws ant!
locker clubs, for the banking and,
medical restrictions, new counties, a.
department of Justice annex to the
capital, additional overpass and un
derpass requirements of the railroads
j at grade crossings, more expeditious
(methods of disposing of purely local
j legislation, amplification of the work
I in the State agricultural department,
I extension of the automobile tax ro-
! turn requirements, tentative if not
I fixed provisions for the release of the
Western and Atlantic railroad, de
claration of a policy, and purpose In
I the matter of the Western and At-
llnnta terminals in Chattanooga and
| the prescribing of a central place of
; execution in capital criminal cases.
Of course, there will be much an
nounced legislative endeavor devel
oped after the General Assembly has
been organized, but the foregoing are
some of the subjects sure to come up
for early consideration.
Governor Slaton will not he inau
gurated uhtii a week after the new
Legislature is assembled. The re
turns from the last general election
must be canvassed by the new Legis
lature after it* organization, and the
result declared. During the first
week of the legislative s. ssion. Gov
ernor Brown will send in his fare
well message.
It is anticipated that this document
will be very friendly in tone, us it
touches the incoming administration,
and will, in effect, bo a message of
good will and God’* speed to toe new
Governor and the n« w General As

The Gainesville postoffice has
become a national issue. If a

will be evident to this nation
that the Democracy is dominated
by the money power.
It will be evident to the Amor-

an era of decadence, for the
money power is eventually going

Prominent DeKalb County Man
Pays High Tribute to Dr. Baird
READ WHAT MR. LEDBETTER SAYS
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: stone
This is to certify that I air. a citizen of DeKalb County,
Georgia, that I am eighty years old and that in the fall of
1912 I was taken with a severe case of Hypertrophied Pros
tate and inflammation of the Bladder. I was confined to my
bed for a considerable length of time and made up my mind
that I would soon die, as my local physician could give me
no relief whatever. About Feb. 1913, I went to see Dr.
William M. Baird, of Atlanta, Ga., the noted Specialist in
Kidney, Bladder and Chronic Diseases, and commenced to
take treatment. I have improved every day since the first
treatment, and I am able at this time to attend to the ordi
nary duties of farm life.
I am not suffering any at this time, and I attribute my
improved condition to Dr. Baird’s skillful treatment of my
case. (Signed) RICHARD L. LEDBETTER.

YOU CAN BE CURED

F OR the first time in the
more than a third of a
century, during which
time Dr. Baird, the noted Spe
cialist, has been specializing in
Diseases of Men, Chronic Dis
eases and Nervous Disorders,
he is using a testimonial.
For years he has refused to
do as many have done and
capitalize the condition of his
patients. He preferred to let
each benefited sufferer tell
others of the good work he has
done. And it was not until
Mr. Ledbetter voluntarily
gave this letter to Dr. Baird
and urged him to use it, that
the noted Specialist agreed to
break Iris rule of thirty years. '
The case of Mr. Ledbetter
is an interestng one. When he
called on Dr. Baird he was in
a bad state of health, and, as
he points out, he fully expect
ed that death was a thing of
the near future. The Prostate
Gland was enlarged and con
gested, and this in turn caused
a reflex nervous irritation
which affected his general
health. While it is true that
physicians who had treated
him had properly diagnosed
the case and honestly and con

Brown-Randolph Building
56 Marietta St., Atlanta, Ga
scientiously done their best for Mr. Ledbetter, his case required
that careful treatment and thorough attention to details which
long experience and close study of such cases makes possible.
The Prostatic trouble also caused Cystitis, or Inflammation of
the Bladder, and this, with the general condition of ill health,
made Mr. Ledbetter 's life not worth living.
Although this is the only time Dr. Baird has ever consented
to use a testimonial, there are hundreds of people throughout
the South who can tell similar stories. Letters of praise and
heart-felt thanks are in his files, and these patients are to-day
cured, happy and contented.
While the diagnosis in Mr. Ledbetter’s case was correctly
made by other physicians, there are to-day thousands of people
suffering excruciating pains, which in reality are merely the
symptoms of prostate trouble, which is the CAUSE of all these
pains. It can hardly be expected of physicians who do not.
make a close study of these particular cases to be able to treat
them with the success of one who has been studying and spe
cializing in them for many years. These same physicians are
probably experts in acute diseases which Dr. Baird does not
treat and which he would promptly refer to those who make
them a specialty.
On the other hand, he DOES know Chronic Diseases, Ner
vous Disorders and Diseases of Men. That’s why he says he
can cure any case which CAN be cured. He knows these dis
eases. Thousands of cases coming under his attention during
the past 35 years have given him an opportunity to study every
feature and to learn every detail necessary for successful treat
ment.
There are thousands of others like Mr. Ledbetter. Some of
them are old men, some are middle-aged men and some are
young men. They have gone from one to another without re
lief and have finally fallen into the hands of conscienceless
quacks whose only aim has been to capitalize their misfortunes
and get their money. Others have given up hope and have
decided that death was the only solution.
There is hope for these sufferers. Every one of them should
see Dr. Baird, or at least write to him. He makes no charge for
consultation, and he will gladly tell you just what he can and
can not do. He is frank in his statements. If he thinks he can
cure you, he will tell you, and he will be just as positive if he
believes he is unable to give you relief.
If he can’t relieve you he will not take your money.
He has written some very interesting booklets, which are
free for the asking, sent by mail in plain sealed wrappers. So
you may write to him and tell him about your case. Even h:s
letters have a tendency to inject hope in the hearts of those who
are hopeless.
Let him help you.
