THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, MA Y17, 1913.
Boys’ and Girls’ Letters Show Their
Pluck and Determination to Win
the Handsome Prizes Offered.
t
“Please send another book by return mall,” is getting to be almost
aji hourly request in The Georgian and American office, where the let
ter* 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
subscriptions 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 votes with the
single word, “Hurrah!” followed by a big explosive-looking star.
So it goes. Enthusiasm is increasing daily, the votes are piling up
at a great rate. 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 office
at 9 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 *.o
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
tvhistled 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 clerk
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 bank dealer,’ said
the clerk.
“ ‘Excused,’ said the court.”

To Sell Water by Meter.
WAYCROSS.—At a meeting
Officials of the State Department
of Agriculture said Saturday that the
rainfall of Friday night had savad
the farmers of Georgia thousands 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 farmers is almost incalculable.
The moisture now in the ground wi’l
assist in the germination of seed
1 that never would have sprouted oth
erwise, and the stands of cotton will
of l be helped immensely.”
Council to be held next Tuesday the
first step of the plan to place water
service in Waycross on a meter basis
will be taken. An order for 100 me
ters will be placed for immediate de
livery.

Coast Congressman
Asks Battleships
WASHINGTON, May 17.—That the
Pacific Coast States would prefer a
good fighting force of battleships to
such fighting vessels* as the battle
ship Friendship and the cruiser Fel
lowship was the declaration here to
day by Representative Bfyan, of
Washington, a new Progressive mem
ber 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.”

hard to persuade his wife to divorce
him, hut she refused. Her mother,
Mrs. Cornwallis-West, strongly sup
ported her if) 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.

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.

Maybe you would like a pair
In slight amber tint to pro
tect your eyes when travel
ing. We’ve been fitting glass
