THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, MA Y17, 1913.
IN PONY OUTFIT CONTESTS
Boys’ and Girls’ Letters Show Their
Pluck and Determination to Win
the Handsome Prizes Offered.
"Please send another book by return mall." is getting to be almost
aji hourly request In The Georgian and American office, where the let
ters from boys and girls in the pony outfit contest are coming in by the
bale. The "book" referred to, of course, is the one used In recording
subscription** and votes
An out-of-the-State contestant writes, "I see I am ahead; believe
me, I am going to stay right out in front," and to make good his prom
ise, he forwards a big batch of votes.
"You bet your life my town wins a pony," write another rather
slangy young contestant. He, too, is making a great race, and his fel
low townsmen are helping him, through friendship and local pride, which
makes a strong combination in his favor.
Another little girl from out in Georgia sends In 7,500 vote* with the
single word, “Hurrah!" followed by a big explosive-looking star.
9o it goes. Enthusiasm is increasing daily, the votes are piling up
,at a great ra*te. Names and standing of contestants are below:

Threatened to Get
Another Witness.
“While in New York this week on
a business trip." said a well-known
Atlanta man. "I ran across an Inci
dent that was rather amusing.
“A man who was apparently a
lawyer was talking earnestly with a
man at his side in an elevator in a
downtown building In which there
are many law offices. I heard the
lawyer say:
“'Remember, court opens at 10:30
o'clock. I want you to be In my offb e
at 8 o’clock, and If you are not there
I’ll get another witness.’ ’’
The Requisites
Of a Song Hit.
"Fortunes in song writing." says
an advertisement now appearing in
magazines throughout the country,
and many are lured by it. But those
who have tried know the disappoint
ments of the song writer striving to
induce a publisher to look at his
work. For those who would try here
is a tip from one who has made good:
“If your song is to make a hit. the
air must be hard to remember, though
catchy and pleasing. If it can be
whistled by anyone who hears it
once or twice, it will not sell, and the
publisher will reject It.”
His Excuse Was
An Excellent One.
♦ "I was visiting a friend In New
York not long ago,” said a promi
nent real estate man, "and he took
me around a good deal. He Is a
lawyer and frequently we visited the
courts together.
"One day a man who had been
summoned for jury duty in the Su
preme Court went up to the clerk
before the names of the talesmen
were called and told why he thought
he ought to be excused. When the
judge, mounted the bench the cleijk
said:
"•Your Honor, Mr doesn’t
think he ought to do jury duty on
account of his business.’
‘“What’s his business?’ asked the
court, gruffly.
“ 'He's a faro hank dealer,’ said
the clerk.
" ‘Excused,’ said the court."

Coast Congressman
Asks Battleships
WASHINGTON, May 17.—That the
Pacific Coast States Vould prefer a
good fighting force of battleships to
such fighting vessel? as the battle
ship Friendship and the cruiser Fel
lowship was the declaration here to
day by Representative Bryan, of
Washington, a new Progressive mem
her of the House.
“Our people are not frightened over
the Japanese situation, but we most
emphatically protest against main
taining a battleship fleet in the At
lantic and none in the Pacific."
"The • Pacific coast would rather
have sixteen dreadnoghts than peace
protestations. The Democrats made
a great mistake in abandoning the
two battleship policy."
Ducal Pair Separate;
Divorce Is Prevented
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, May 17.—The Duke and
Duchess of Washington have signed
a formal deed of separation. She is
to receive $100,000 a year from him.
She has taken a house callfcd Latch-
mere on Ham Common, a London
suburb.
Their intimates say the Duke tried
hard to persuade his wife to divorce
him, but she refused. Her mother,
Mrs. Cornwallis-West, strongly sup
ported her in this determination. Be
sides she took legal advice and was
Informed that the King’s proctor
would' probably intervene on the
ground of collusion should the case
come before the divorce court.

who swallowed a bichloride of mercu

that he can not live much longer. H»

Officials of the State Department
of Agriculture said Saturday that the
rainfall of Friday night had saved
the farmers of Georgia thousand* of
dollars In their crops of cotton and
other products.
"We had reached a crisis," said J
J. Brown, Assistant Commissioner of
Agriculture. A few more days of
drouth and practically half of the
cotton crop of the State would have
been damaged.
"Much was depending on a good
rainfall. The saving that is made to
the fanners is almost incalculable.
The moisture now in the ground wi’l
in the midst j assist in the germination of seed
| that never would have sprouted oth
erwise, and the stands of cotton will
be helped immensely.”
Though Atlanta on Friday night
had her heaviest rainfall of the year,
the weather man Is not satisfied. The
forecast for Saturday says there will
he showers during the afternoon and
evening, with chances good for an
other general rain at night. The
weather will continue warm, though
the thermometer is not expected to
register higher than 70 degrees. The
highest reached on Friday was 84
degrees.
The rainfall Friday night meas
ured .84 inch, and ruined all pros
pects for making another drouth rec
ord. During the last twenty days,
prior to Friday night, the total rain
fall had been only .04 inch. The rec
ord drouth for this season of the
year is twenty days without a drop
of rain, In May of 1879.

Game Lost, Boy Dies
Of a Broken Heart
ST. PAUL, MINN., May 17.—A
broken heart, caused by the loss of
the pennant by the team of his school,
for which he pitched, caused the
death of Willie Lieser, aged 19.
The lad had pitched his team to
victory several times, and on the day
of the championship game a slight
illness kept him at home. His team
lost through the ineffective pitching
of his successor, and a few minutes
after he learned of the defeat Willie
died.
Doctors said a broken heart was the
cause.

TO OUR
VISITORS
About every two years
your lenses need changing.
Wouldn't It be a good Idea
to take advantage of your
visit to Atlanta and have a
careful examination of your
eyes made and a new pair
of glasses made up? At least,
how about having a duplicate
pair of lenses fitted in a large,
comfortable shell library
frame—for solid comfort
Maybe you would like a pair
in slight Hinl>er tint to pro
tect youi* eyes when travel
ing. We’ve been fitting glass
es for 50 years and have
some pretty good ideas. Any
way, come in, we’ll be glad
to make your acquaintance.
