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.

ANSLEY CHEF LOST EYE IN DUEL OVER DISH PREPARED FOR KING Jean Peyrat, “The Dueling Chef,’’ who rules hotel kitchen like a Martinet and swells with pride over his dainty cookery.

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. Heiress of Tobacco Magnate Airs Woes ST. LOUIS, MO., Sept. 13. Mrs. Margaret V.

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.” Photographs of the newest hats for fall and winter are given in The Sunday American. Just from Paris.

"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.
