THE ATLANTA GEORG [AN AND NEWS.
Three-Cornered Fight Between
Him, Mayo and Wright Holds
County's Interest.
«nn«inoed oandld.tos for
ohorKfr:
Sheriff C. Wheeler Mangum, to auo-
oood himself.
C«Dt»in William M. Mayo, of the
Atlanta Polioe Department.
Chfef Deputy City Marshall, L. O.
Wrljjht, who eerved six years as
Sheriff of Newton County.
Proape otlve:
Chief Deputy Sheriff Plennie Miner.
Candidates for the office of Sheriff
are froomin# themselves for what
promises to be the hottest Sheriff’s
race in the history of Fulton County.
"With the date of the primary not
more than seven or eight months
away, and with the city primary of
September 80 attracting practically
no attention, the would-be Sheriffs
are having things pollUcally all their
way.
Of unueual Interest Is the an
nouncement of Sheriff Mangum that
he la very much In the race, which
Is directly contrary to the persistent
rumor that he would not run. His
announcement was re-affirmed Fri
day morning.
Upon the decision of Sheriff Man
gum rests Plennie Miner’s entry into
the raoe. If Mangum sticks, to the
finish Miner will not enter, feeling
that his duty as a loyal friend to
the present Sheriff, whom he de
clares has done much for him, would
prevent his running against him.
Only Strong Men In Race.
Whether the race will be between
Mangum, Mayo and Wright, or Miner,
Mayo and Wright, it Is sure to be
warm. Each man already has a
strong following, while each Is per
fecting a ticket of unusual strength.
In addition to this. It is quite prob
able that no one in the county has
a larger personal acquaintance than
any of thees four men.
Captain Mayo has an enviable rec
ord with the Atlanta Police Depart
ment, with which he has been con
nected sixteen years, holding the rank
of captain six years. Prior to this, he
waa special sergeant three years. He
was bom In Jasper County, near
Brighton, but was reared in Butts
County. He came to Atlanta in 189o
to visit the Cotton States Exposition
and liked the town so well that he
decided to make It his home, and has
been here ever since. "
Plennie Miner has been with the
Sheriff’s office for five years, and has
won friends by the hundreds by his
genial personality and the ability dis
played by him In handling the duties
of chief deputy. His handling of the
huge crowds attending the Frank trial
drew many complimentary remarks
He halls from Gwinnett County,
where life as a farmer boy made him
grow tall and gave him muscles to
match.
Wright Has Long History.
Chief Deputy City Marshall L. O.
Wright has been a resident of Atlanta
fourteen years. He had a good polit
ical career behind him, serving as
Sheriff of Newton County six years.
He knows the political game like an
astrologer knows the stars, and has
acquired an acquaintanceship here of
Immense proportions. He has not
perfected h!s ticket, but in his formal
announcement has named W alter < .
Lawrence as his chief deputy. Law
rence is well known in Atlanta. He
has been general manager of the
Westvtew Floral Company, twenty
‘ Sheriff Mangum Is now serving his
third term. He carries a few more
years than his opponents, but his
nerves are steady and he can take his
revolver and pluck a half-dollar at
80 paces. He Is a Confederate vet
eran, enlisting In March, 1862 and
lighting throughout the last three
vears of the war. He was onlv six
teen years of age when he enlisted.
He was born in Fannin County.
Sheriff Mangum, In making his an
nouncement, declared that he knew
there was some sentiment against
him hut that he had only done his
duty.
Mangum Defends His Record.
“Some sentiment has been raised
against me because I do not hand
cuff mv prisoners, but I do not be
lieve there is a right-thinking man
in Fulton County who will enter
tain a prejudice like this against me
said the Sheriff. “I did not handcuff
Leo M. Frank, neither did I hand
cuff Jim Conley or Newt Lee. As a
matter of fact, I have never hand
cuffed but two men in all my time
in the Sheriff’s office.
“There was some criticism because
I accompanied Frank personally and
because he was carried from the jail
to the courthouse In an automobile.
Mv reason for escorting him was that
I felt it was my duty. There had
Len threats made against him and
I felt that If any of the s
force was to be exposed to harm that
I should take that risk upon myself.
The automobile belonged to one of
the deputies and did not cost the

Hoke Smith Plan, Favored by Wil
son, Likely to Supplant Clark
Amendment to Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, SepL 13.—Level-
opments since the passage of the tar
iff bill the other day are Interpreted
by students of the subject to Indi
cate that the conferees of the bill
will reject the amendment of Sena
tor Clarke, of Arkansas, taxing cot
ton futures, and will substitute in its
place the amendment of Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, which ac
complishes much the >iame effect by
a different means.
The Clarke amendment levies a tax
of one-tenth of one cent a pound on
the quantity of cotton described in
an agreement of sale for future de
livery, and provides heavy penalties
for violation of the statute.
Senator Hoke Smith’s amendment,
which was offered in the Senate dur
ing consideration of the bill, is In
tended to forbid the delivery on fu
ture contracts of cotton other than
according to the standards of quality
fixed by the United States Govern
ment, with the further provision that
if the seller is unable to deliver the
quantity of cotton specified in the
agreement he .must pay to the buyer
the difference between the price of
the cotton* he offers and the price of
the cotton specified.
Wilson Favors 3mith’s Idea.
The Clarke amendment, which was
adopted by the Senate provides that
the tax will go Into effect September
1, 1914.
The conferees have not yet taken
up that aprt of the bill vvhlcb in
cludes the Clarke amendment, and
will not reach It for some time. Nev
ertheless, great interest is being
shown in the question, and specula
tion is rife as to what the conferees
will decide to do.
The Intimation is obtained from
Majority Deader Underwood that
President Wilson is opposed to the
Clarke amendment, being apprehen
sive that it will disturb the vast cot
ton business of the South, and if the
President confirms th5s belief to the
conferees the amendment is ao good
as defeated.
Asa matter of fact, the reason why
Clarke and other members of the
Senate voted for the amendment was
that thev believed the Farmers’
Union wanted it. Furthermore, 1t is
the impression here that In reality
they were personally opposed to it,
and feared it would do harm to the
cotton business.
Conferees Oppose Amendment.
Another theory for the enactment
of the amendment is that it was put
in simplv as a trade proposition, with
the expectation of giving it up if the
House would make a concession of
equal importance. This is compli
cated bv the development in tne
House of quite a sentiment in favor
of the amendment which may have
some influence on the conferees. The
House conferees, however, are under
stood to be opposed to the amend -
The most important factor at^pres-
ent is the attitude of the President.
Tt becomes particularly significant
when it is considered that Senator
Hoke Smith’s amendment can be
supported as an alternative Senator
Hoke Smith is very close to the ad
ministration, and more than anyone
pIsa is the President's spokesman in
the Senate. Accordingly there are
■mod surface reasons to believe that
?,”? President is behind Senator
Smith’s amendment.

Chases Dentist Two
Miles for His Teeth
HAMMOND, IND„ Sept. 13.—Dr.
James Jones, a South Bend dentist,
was bound over on a charge of grand
larceny for stealing the gold teeth of
James D. Watts, a pugilist. He left
after Watts brought the teeth to him
to be adjusted.
Watts chased the dentist two miles
j caught him and turned him over to
i an officeii
When first you enter the kitchens
of Hotel Ansley you think you are
in an Inferno of clanging pans and
Jangling pots; your brain reels with
the effort to understand the French
words that are hurled back and forth,
and your neck aches with the strain
of trying to catch more than a pass
ing glimpse of the flying cooks.
But before you have time to col
lect your thoughts and remember that
when they yell “cafe nolr.’’ “parfait.”
and "pomme gaufette,” they are talk,
lng about black coffee, ice cream and
potatoes, you catch a glimpse of a
little, snort, fat man, whose one good
eye twinkles with good humor, and
whose bald, shining head and brist
ling mustache, covering a perpetually
smiling mouth, invites confidence and
friendship.
He sits enthroned on a chair at a
little de^k—the monarch of the
kitchens.
You've seen “The Duelling Chef”—
Jean Peyrat—and instinctively you
smile at him and with him.
Proud of His Cooking.
Peyrat Is an excitable little French
man who rules his cooks like a mar
tinet. and who views a spot of dirt
in his kitchen with the disgust of
an American housewife. His cook
ing I* his life. He'd rather hear some
one praise some of hia dishes than
eat one of them himself. But even
breathe an opinion that a Peyrat
dish Is not the best dish; that a
Peyrat culinary creation is not the
last word In such things—and Presto!
you’ve invited to attend a funeral,
with yourself as chief mourner.
It was Peyrat's pride in his cook
ing that caused him to fight a duel
with another cook in the kitchens
of the Hotel D'Angleterre, in Blar^zt,
France, while King Edward of Ertg-
iand sat In the dining room and wait
ed patiently for the Peyrat marvels
to appear.
It was this duel—his last—that
gave Peyrat the name of "The Duel
ling Chef.” and It was also where
he lost his right eye, hisi opponent
having jabbed him in the optic with
a fork after Peyrat had hurled his
weapon from him with his own blade.
According to Peyrat’s story, he
fought the duel with another cook of
the Hotel D'Angleterre because the
latter tried to destroy a kitchen mas
terpiece he had created especially for
the dinner to King Edward.
Made Great Di*h for King.
Peyrat moulded a monster deer and
lion, with the latter representing
England, crouched over the body of
the deer, victorious. Around the
sides of the deer and lion were placed
the lobnter, the caviar and the other
good things.
As the waiters took up the master
piece to carry it Into the dining room,
the jealous cook, an assistant of Pey
rat, tried to throw it to the floor.
The duel followed, in which Peyrat
lost his eye and the other cook re
ceived five knife wounds in the shoul
der.
“The dish I fix for the King,” Pey
rat says, with both tongue and shoul- |
dere, “it was a what you call mas- j
terpiece. Magnificent! Grand! Noth
ing like it had ever been seen in the
world. ' The King, he send me that
word I exceedingly proud when I fix
that dish. I make my reputation all
over France. This other cook was j
a jealous fellow. He liked me not,
because I was not »o many vears as j
he and yet I am chef. This fellow
amount to nothing; he is what you
call a bum, a loafer!
“I fix the grand dish. This bum
come up and say the difh no good. I
call him a liar, a grand liar. Then
this bum try to push the dish to the
floor and destroy. I become enrage,
angry. I lose control of myself. I
strike this bum oook in the eye, and
give what you call a black peeper.
He strike back at me, but he mb's me.
He yell that my dish is not fit for the
pig*.
Fought Wfth Carving Knives.
“Then I challenge this bum for a
duel to fight for my beloved dish
which the King (‘at. I have served
in the army i f France. I can fence
with great cleverness. I ask him
if he want to fight with the rapier
or the broadsword. He say he fight
with carving knife.
“Carving knife suit me. I handle
carving knife with same expert T
handle the rapier ? nd the broad
sword. We take the position. We
begin. I laugh at this bum. lie be
come greatly enrave He lunge, his
knife miss me. I laugh again. Ha!
I also am enrage. I thru.*t! I
lunge! Voila! 1 stick him in the
shoulder. I repeat: five times I stick
the bum in the shoulder. I become
tired with the sport; I disarm him.
The bum call me pig, but I laugh, for
I am victor.
“Then this bum cook grab a fork
from the table and lunge at me when
I be not watching. Twice he jab
my eye with the fork. I lose the eye,
but he stay two, three months in
hospital, and never again do he cook.
He can not stand the heat of the
kitchens any more.
“But the dish for the King. It not
be de^rov, >*o I am glad. I take pride
in the dish. The King of England
thank me for the dish.”

Quite an Undertaking For
a Lady, But Mrs. Wright
Doesn’t Mind Now.
Asheville, N. C.—Mrs. Minnie
Wright, of R. F. D. No. 1, this city,
says: “I don't think there is any
medicine made that would have done
me the good Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, did. I have five children to
work for, and I praise Cardui for giv
ing me the good health to do It.
"I was in a delicate condition, on
account of a relapse of measles which
left me in a bad shape, and I also
had severe headaches and backache.
Was In too bad a fix for anyone to
live, it seemed to me.
“I was told that my only chance
was an operation, but I decided to try
Cardui instead. I only took two bot
tles, and now I am w r ell and strong
again.
“I don’t believe there Is any medi
cine on earth that will help suffering
women as Cardui will. I have already
gotten several ladies to try it, and I am
going to continue to recommend your
medicine.”
For more than 50 years Cardui has
been successfully used in the treat
ment of womanly ills. It has been
found to relieve women’s pains and
strengthen women’s weakness.
If you are a woman and suffer
from any of the ailments peculiar to
your sex, we urge you to give Cardui
a trial. It has helped more than a
million women In the past half cen
tury, and will do the same for you if
given a fair trial.
Your druggist sells Cardui.
