Colonel Charles Jackson Shipp, who
ran for Railroad Commissioner In the
last State primaries, and didn’t get
elected, evidently has not become a
pessimist because of that.
On the contrary, Colonel Shipp,
forsaking the vexing and fretting
thoughts of politics and politicians,
of late has turned his attention and
his talents to the sweeter and may
hap simpler things of life, and where
once he thundered political opinions
and conclusions from the stump, now
he sings vociferously of the festive
persimmon and the rare delights of
autumn merging serenely into win
ter! f
In the current issue of The Cor-
dele Rambler, Mr. Shipp’s splendid
and always Interesting little news
paper, that gentleman poetically ob
serves:
“This is persimmon season in
Georgia. If the traveler along a
November road hears a soft
thud, so gentle Indeed as to be
scarcely audible, he has only to
look on either side, locate the
gaunt, hare limbs to which still
cling like huge drops of amber
the yet unripe persimmons. Then
gayly scaling the fence let him
pick up the luscious mouthful
that has fallen; for that is the
test of the ripe persimmon—it
never falls until it is primed for
consumption.
“Many detractors of the per
simmon don’t know this. If they
did. instead of slandering and
maligning a noble fruit, and
heaping ridicule and contumely
upon It, they might Join the ac
claim of those who know better.
To put it otherwise never climb
a tree for a persimmon. The
persimmon is never ready to per
ish for the joy or Humanity until
it drops.
“That sly connoisseur, Mistnh
Possum, knows ail about the
persimmon, and when the occa
sion is dark and “darky less,”
you can sometimes see him slyly
meandering around beneath the
tree, picking up the Juiciest sam
ples and scurrying back to safe
ty and feasting But you will
see not a possum up a persimmon
tree, unless he takes to it to get
away from the dogs."
After all, it Is not the sum total of
political life to live, nor all of the
same to die. There are more per
suasive things than viewing with
alarm, the while the country runs
riot to ruin in the hands of some
loathed enemy.
Happy the politically ambitious
who can and do “come back” now
and then from unpropitlous voyages
—who return with sunshine in their
hearts nnd songs of joy bursting
from their lips.

This Lung Medicine
The manufacturer* of Frkman’s Alterative, a
medicine for Throat and Lung affection*, regret
that all sufferer* of these serious trouble* do not
take the trouble to InroNtigate for themselves
rhat this medicine has accomptlnhed during the
past fifteen year* tn a number of cases. Read
this: Griffith, Lake Co., Ind.
"Gentlemen: About September 10, 190*. my
mother-in-law was taken sick with Catarrhal
Pneumonia, which developed Into Lung Trouble.
In January, when ltev Wm. Berg, of St. Mi
chael's Church, at Schererville, Ind., prepared
her for death, he recommended that I get Eok-
man's Alterative and see If It would not give her
tome relief. The attending physician declared
»he had Lung Trouble and was Iteyond all med
ical aid. So I immediately had Rev. Wm. Berg
to send for a bottle. Practically without hope
for recovery, I insisted that she try the Alter
ative, which she did. I am glad to say that
•he aoon began to Improve. Now, she works as
hard as ever, weighs twenty pounds heavier than
she ever did before she took sick, and Is In
good health.'’

Shipps, who can lose, and never bat
an eye!
Dr Elmo Hallew, one of the politi
cal “war horse*’’ of grand old Gor
don County, is attending the boys’
corn show in Atlanta.
The doctor specialize* in corn cul
ture, among other things, and Is
something of a noted agricultural
sharp in hi* vicinity of endeavor. As
surpassingly fair, however, as hisj
broad atid untarnished escutcheon is
in the matter of farm lore, he still
scorns not to take advice from
younger men.
His own corn crop this year, he
uvers, is “middling tine,” and made
in the most profuse and generous
sweat of his brow, and still he thinks
he might have made it better had he
but known in the beginning all he
knew when on yesterday he had fin
ished an Inspection of the great show
In the Capitol!
“These com shows are great,’ said
Dr. Ballew, dlscusslr*; the exhibition,
“and I think we should encourage
them all we can. The boys of Gor
don County are splendidly repre
sented here, and they deserve great
credit for the fine work they have
done. The corn clubs have done much
to better agricultural conditions in
Georgia,"
In order to anticipate as much as
possible the rush for new automobile
numbers, which must be secured for
the year 1914, Secretary Phil Cook
of the State Department will have
the new numbers ready for distribu
tion on December 15. They cost $5
each, and every owner of a car must
have a new number, regardless of
past issues.
The new law goes into effect on
January 1, and cars without new
numbers on March 1 will be out
lawed. As nothing is to be gained
by waiting until March to procurd
new numbers, however, the State
Department will prepare to issue
them at once.
After January I every motor car
in Georgia must have a new num
ber annually, costing $5.
It looks a little ns if the pressure
brought to bear upon President Wil
son in the matter of Judson C. Clem
ents’ proposed retirement from the
Interstate Commerce Commission
may bear fruit. The friends of Judge
Clement* have taken hope of late,
and now believe that there is at least
an even chance that things may fall
his way, and reappointment be ten
dered.
There seems to be a feeling
throughout all Washington, not only
in Congress, but in the various de
partments. that failure to reappoint
the Georgian now would work irrep
arable injury to the Commission
He is the one members of the' body
whose experience is long and who
knows the ins and outs of the Com
mission’s work thoroughly. To drop
him now would be to leave the Com
mission without one member there
on who is ultimately qualified for the
position. Moreover, there has been
much resentment manifested here,
and there that Clements seemingly
was considered for the discards most
ly in order that a nice, comfortable
berth might be supplied to former
Governor Glenn, of North Carolina.
The reappointment of /Judson C.
Clements to the Interstate Commerce
Commission apparently will be highly
gratifying to Georgia, and in the same
ratio would his turning down likely
be heartily protested and resented.
Byron Williams, of Meriwether,
spoken of frequently and favorably
of late as a member of the next Sen
ate, Is in Atlanta. Few men are bet
ter known throughout Georgia, and
if he runs for the office stated, there
is no doubt whatever that he will be
a most formidable candidate.
Moreover, he hails fropj one of
Georgia’s star counties, politically
speaking—the county that has fur
nished Georgia with a ^number of
Governors and other Statehouse of
ficers. The present Governor was
born in Meriwether, and several more
came from that same vicinity of the
vineyard.
Important Witnesses Are Heard in
Trial of Dean Craig at
Shelbyville.
8HEL.BYVILLB, IND., Dec-. 5.—
Neatly tailored in brown, with her
auburn locks carefully braided about
her head, Katherine McPherson, Dr.
Knabe’a office girl, who found the
body of the physician, told her story
first-hand at the Craig trial here this
afternoon. ®
After a brief description of the in
cidents following her first acquaint
ance with Dr. Knabe, Miss McPher
son reached the meat of her story.
She spoke in a feeble voice and was
pale. Hhe said she had known both
Dr. Knabe and Dr. Craig two or three
years before the mysterious death.
A picture of Dr. Craig and his
daughter was introduced in evidence
and identified by the witness as one
that belonged to Dr. Knabe. Miss
McPherson said she last saw Dr.
Knabe alive at 6 p. m. the evening
before the body was found, when
she was Instructed by her employer
to stop at a Massachusetts avenue
shop the next morning and get a
pair of shoes left there by Miss
Knabe.
The witness said she reached Dr.
Knabe’s apartments at 8:15 the fol
lowing morning and said the front
door opened easier than usual. She
inserted her key into the Yale lock,
but could not state whether the door
was locked. When she entered her
attention was attracted by the drawn
window shades, the dark living room,
the light in the death chamber which
was still burning and the subsequent
ghastly discovery.
Mrs. Samuel T. Marshall, who lives
on Delaware street between the Del
aware Flats and Dr. Craig’s resi
dence, stated she heard a man run
ning along the pavement, in front of
her home between 2 and 3 a. m. the
morning the body was found. She
said she was ill and was sitting up in
her living room. She said Dr. Craig
lives just one block north of her. She
was positive the rapid footsteps were
those of a man.
