THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 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.

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 Things have gone wrong again for “Little Miss Fix-It.” She was to have appeared at the Atlanta Theater Tues day, but failed to do so because of trou ble in making the many railroad con nections in the trip from Toronto, Canada.

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.

D. & E. B. SCOTT, Principals Chamberlin =Joh nson=Du BoseCo. ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS 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. Chamberlin=Johnson=DuBose Co. 6 Spools J. & P.
