URGE LIFE FOR
Freak Cars To Be
Absent From Auto
Exhibit This Year
Governor Expected to Concur in
Commutation if Pardon Com
mission Reports Favorably.
The decision of thg. State Prison
Commission in the case of Dr. W. J.
MoNaughton, of Emanuel County, un
der sentence of death for the killing:
of Fred Flanders, will be made and
transmitted to the Governor
Wednesday afternoon, according:
to an announcement made Wed
nesday. The commission, It is be
lieved, will recommend a commuta
tion of the death sentence to life im
prisonment. The Governor in aH
probability will concur in the recom
mendation.
Me Albers of the prison board went
into a short executive session Wed
nesday morning: to consider the case,
but adjourned without reaching: a de
cision until Wednesday afternoon.
The decision, which will probably be-
to commute the sentence, according:
to the best information, will not be
unanimous.
The decision will mark the begin
ning; of the end of a case which has
perhaps attracted more attention in
Georgia for a longer period than any
other criminal case in the history of
the State. The case has been fought
for more than four years by both
sides with all the stubbornness that
could he summoned to convict and to
clear. It reached its zenith when it
went to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Finally, with their client in the
shadow of the gallows, attorneys for
the defendant obtained a respite uh-
til further evidence could be submit
ted to the prison hoard.
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.
“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.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
Working to prove that the pre-
Revolutionary War times were de
void of the historian-heralded cyclop-
lc 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"—Telemon Cuy-
ler Smith-Cuyler, formerly of Atlanta
and famous as a collector of auto
graphs, continued to dig into State
Snur» V e S Wednesday preparing to
publish a book entitled 'The Di
gest of Georgia Wills."
Mr. Smlth-Cuyler apparently was
not interested in divorce records.
_ ,.i s i" ore tha h 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 e&ye
In the very ant of compiling eome
notations from old rooords which arc
*afely guarded In the Statahouse.
Once the oat was out of the bag.
however, Mr. Smith-Cayler met the
demand of the reporter for a story In
fine etyle, and announced In addition
hls Intention of publishing a book
soon.
The book, he says, is 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
chive* of the State compiler of official
records.
Indicative in every way of the times
which they 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
df 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.
‘Little Miss Fix-It’
Will Not Show Here

Neither of the two engagements will
be filled by "Little Miss Fix-It," the
performance to-night being called off.
Until Friday the house will be dark,

Girls I 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 it 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, it*
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 sofL 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 but 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 Paris
with her Reboux, Evelyne Varon, 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 for a moment there will be the slightest
bit of urging you to buy. We want Atlanta women to see
what we have done for them.
