Tit decision of the State Prison
Comnission in the case of Dr. W. J.
Mcteughtyn, of Emanuel County, un-
derfcentence of death for the killing
of fred Handers, will be made and
tnftsmitted to the Governor
Wednesday afternoon, according
to an announcement made Wed-
n#day. The commission, it is be-
lived, will recommend a commuta
te of the death sentence to life im
prisonment. The Governor in all
jrobability will concur in the recom
lendatfon.
Members of the prison board went
ato a short executive session Wed-
iesday morning to consider the caJe,
»ut adjourned without reaching a de
rision until Wednesday afternoon.
The decision, which will probably be-
o commute the sentence, according
o the best information, will not be
inanimous.
The decision will mark the begln-
iing of the end of a case which has
ierh&ps attracted more attention in
Georgia for a longer period than any
ther criminal case in the history of
he State. The case has been fought
t>r more than four years by both
id/*s with all the stubbornness that
olid be summoned to convict and to
!far. It reached its zenith when it
rent to the Supreme Court of the
/hited States.
Finally, with their client in the
shadow’ of the gallows. attorneys for
the defendant obtained a respite un
til further evidence could be submit
ted to the prison board.
As Governor Slaton probably will
go over this new testimony carefully
the fate of the condemned man prob
ably will not be decided until short
ly before the expiration of the respite
on October 5.
Germany and France
Claim Grecian Glory
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PARIS, Sept. 10.—Official journals
in their editorial columns to-day in
■isted that mild punishment of some
sort b(j inflicted upon Greece be
cause of King Constantine's Beilin
speech.
These papers insist that the Greek
victories in the second Balkan w f ar
were mainly due to French officers
who served in the Greek army. On
the other hand, the German papers
are insisting that the success of the
Greeks was due to the training of
Constantine in the Prussian army.

[ Freak Cars To Be
Absent From Auto
Exhibit This Year
’’Perfection of finish, beauty of line
and dependability will be the three
principal features of 1914 automobiles
exhibited at the Atlanta show in No
vember. Visitors who look for freaks
will be disappointed,” said a Peach
tree motor dealer at the Auditorium
Wednesday. He was measuring off
the space he had contracted for and
wondering how he would get all his
new cars inside his railings.
"The fact that so few really new
features are to be offered this year
proves how nearly perfected the mod
ern automobile is,” he continued.
“After years of experimenting the
manufacturers have reached some
thing like a standard. But this will
not detract from the interest of the
show. Rather, it will add to it, for
visitors will not see freaks but me
chanical perfection.”
All space for the motor show, which
opens November 8. has been taken
and decorators are preparing to make
the big Auditorium more beautiful
than ever.

Spanish Princess,
Deaf, Grows Dumb
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MADRID, Sept. 10.—Little Prin
cess Marie Christian, 2-year-old
daughter of King Alfonso, has be
come totally deaf and is gradually
losing her power of speech. Her 5-
year- old brother. Prince Jaime, is
deaf and dumb.
Queen Victoria is heartbroken, and
for three weeks has daily prayed for
an hour in the chapel of the castle,
imploring divine intervention against
the approaching affliction. Special
prayers are being said throughout the
city.
Germany to Probe
15 Deaths in Airship
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BERLIN. Sept. 10.—The War Of
fice to-day ordered an official inves
tigation of the wrecking of Zeppelin
balloon L-l in the North Sea off
Heligoland last night, with a loss of
life estimated at fifteen persons.
The superficial investigation show
ed that the dirigible balloon ran into
a storm. She was driven to the sur
face of the sea, where her cars and j
compartments filled with water. She
was unable to rise and was battered
to piece by the waves.
Working to prove that the pre-
Revolutionary War times were de
void of the historian-heralded cyclop-
ic upheavals—that “the good dames
of Savannah went on spanking their
unruly children, despite the pro
nounced Tory opposition to all forms
of unbridled liberty”—Telomon Cuy-
ler Smith-Cuyler, formerly of Atlanta
and famous as a collector of auto
graphs continued to dig into State
archives Wednesday preparing to
publish a book entitled "The Di
gest of Georgia Wills.”
Mr. Smith-Cuyler apparently was
not interested in divorce records.
It is more than probable that Mr.
Smith-Cuyler’s* book would have re
mained unheralded until the actual
publication if the author had not been
discovered, ’’inadvertently," he says,
in the very act of compiling some
notations from old records which are
safely guarded in the Statehouse.
Once the cal was out of the bag.
however, Mr. Smith-Cuyler met the
demand of the reporter for a story in
fine style, and announced in addition
his intention of publishing a book
soon.
The book, he says, ig just what its
name implies—a digest of wills made
out by Georgians who lived during
the colonial period. The wills in
which the author is particularly in
terested are contained in two musty
old- volumes, dating back to 1772,
which were dug up among the ar
chives of the State compiler of official
records.
Indicative in every way of the times
which th®v record, these old will
books. Mr. Smith-Cuyler declares, set
at rest forever the old contention of
historians that the Revolutionary War
times were characterized by violent
and unexpected disturbances^-change
of habit and custom and the like.
To prove his own contention Mr.
Smith-Cuyler merely turns a musty,
moth-eaten page or two—carefully,
for time has left its mark—points to
the marvelous penmanship of one
Whitfield, clerk and ordinary in co
lonial Savannah, written before the
war. and then turns several pages to
another sample of this gentleman’s
handwriting, written after the war.
The meaning. Mr. Smtih-Cuyler ex
plains—but to make a long story
short, it is satisfactory. Evidently,
the good dames of old Savannah did
spank their youngsters Just as hard
during the war and after as they did
before the great struggle for liberty.
Things have gone wrong again for
"Little Miss Fix-It.” She was to have
appeared at the Atlanta Theater Tues
day, hut failed to do so because of trou
ble in making the many railroad con
nections in the trip from Toronto,
Canada
Neither of the two engagements will
be tilled by “Little Miss Fix-It." the
performance to-night being railed off.
Until Friday the house will be dark,
when “The Merry Countess,” the
Strauss operetta, will be the attrac
tion.

FOR DANDRUFF, FALLING HAIR
ITCHY SCALP-25 CENT D,
Girls ! Girls ! Save Your Hair !
Make It Grow Luxuriant
and Beautiufl.
If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has , an incomparable
softness and is fluffy and lustrous,
try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides dt im
mediately dissolves every particle
of dandruff; you can not have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf
robs the hair of its luster, its
strength and its very life, and if
not overcome it produces a fever
ishness and itching of the scalp;
the hair roots famish, loosen and
die; then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry. scraggy or !
too oily, get a 25-cent bottle of
Knowlton’s Danderine at any drug ;
store or toilet counter: apply a lit
tle as directed and ten minutes aft- !
er you will say this was the best
investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless >
of everything else advertised, that !
if you desire soft, lustrous, beauti
ful’ hair and lots of It—no dandruff— !
no itching scalp and no more fall- ;
ing hair—you must use Knowlton’s
Danderine. If eventually—why not ;
now?

Another Triumph
For the Chamberlin - Johnson
DuBose Co. Millinery
As this is being written the first day crowds to the dis
play of authentic fashions of Fall millinery are coming,
seeing and being captivated.
“The hats are lovely!” “The hats are beautiful!”
“The hats are charming!”
So the expressions run and the Chamberlin-Johnson-
DuBose Company Millinery Section is scoring another
triumph.
However, it is hut a logical sequence of events—the
outgrowth of a well planned and well executed system
with which we have fortified our millinery organization.
The hats are either as right and correct and true as Paifis
with her Reboux, Evelyne Varoii, Marie Guy, Marie Louise
and others can make them, or they are Paris styles
tuned to America’s tastes by the artists that reign in the
little shop of Estelle Mershon right there in the.center of
America’s fashions, 20 East 46th St., New York.
It would be very strange if these hats that Atlanta is
invited to see were anything but “lovely,” “beautiful,”
“charming.”
And now another day to enjoy the display! Make use
of it, do not think fora moment there will be the slightest
bit of urging you to buy. We want Atlanta women to see
what we have done for them.

Enthusiasm Is Running High
In Pedalmobile Contest
“Gee, ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if I had one of
them! How many are you going to give away, Mister?” These
are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office
where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one
just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian
will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip
tions to the paper before October 1.
There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are
coming fast. It would only be a wild guess now to say who will
win the first fifteen cars and receive the Charter Membership
Certificates to the Atlanta Pedalmobile Racing Club. These Cer
tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and
events to be held in the near future.
Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large
cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best
newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At
lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the
children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact, they
are handled a good deal on the san/e order and are interesting
to the parents as well as the children.
These little machines are not to be confined to pleasure
alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In
some cities carrier boys who have won Pedalmobiles may be seen
distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made
and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or
girl who is fortunate enough to win one.
These cars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C.
Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor Ice
Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and
Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd-
and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice
the “Georgian Flyer” in the window.
OUTSIDE WORKERS.
A number of boys and girls outside of the city of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn
estly to obtain one of the handsome little ears. The Pedalmobile
man will be glad to send subscription blanks to more bonest bust-
lei’s who would like to own a Pedalmobile.
Just fill out the application blank below and full particu
lars will be mailed you at once.
