Electric L.ght Button Removed by
Careful Thief, but He
Gets No Loot.
Calvin C. Barber, asleep 1n hli room
on tho Second floor of th«» housf at
No. 105 West Harris street. waj
awakened at 5 o’clock Saturday morn
ing by n sound not usually hoard In
the still watches of the nlKht, or even
early In the morning.
Barber heard the gentle clinking of
money, and, alrnoai Intuitively, he
recognized It as his money, in his
trousers' pocket. Thfi trousers seemed
to be shaken gently in the darkness.
"Who’s there?" Barber Inquired
briskly, not being afraid of table-tip
ping or pants-flapping spirit.** At the
same time he shook G. L. Hamrick,
also occupying the room and bed.
The only reply to Barbers chal
lenge was a more derided flop and
clink as the trousers hit the floor.
Then came the soft pad-padding
of unshod feet, and the noise of a
door creaking
Electric Buttons Removed.
Barber and Hamrick, now' wide
awake, Jumped out of bed and tum
bled over each other as they sought
the eloctric light key.
They found the socket nil right, hut
the button had been twisted ofT.
Stumbling out into the hall, they
found that switch also hors du com
bat. while down the step* went the
pit-a-pat of the shoeless feet.
Hamric k finally found a button that
controlled a light, and about the same
time Barber collected a shotgun, and
the two started after the burglar The
front door wa» open, but by the time
they reached the street the Intruder
had vanished and there was not even
the satisfaction of letting the shotgun
at anything
Nothing Missing.
Call Officer Gorman responded to a
telephone message, but no trace of
the robber could be found. Appar
ently he had attached his shoes to his
person, as they ware nowhere to ha
seen. He had entered the house by
climbing to the veranda roof, and
before beginning his search for booty
had thoughtfully and with much pa
tience removed all the electric switch
buttons he could find.
Nothing appeared to have been
taken.

—Proof that will Convince
arv Judge or Jury on Earth
By MARY LEA DAVIS.
I P you haven’t written a letter de-j
scribing the best Christmas gif j
wife should give her husband j
and a husband shorn! give his wife,
read the following offer:
To thr wife who write* thr bent
short trttcr felting what in the j
mo st useful gift for a hut band, *
our $io pold piece.
Three award* of $5 each will
be given thr. wives whose letters

Fend pour tetters addressed to
MARY LEA DA VIft,
Editorial Department, The At
lanta Georgian,
The letters continue to come to my
desk In packages I don’t see how I
can publish all of tnem by the cloning
day of tho contest, December 18. But
l shall print as many hh possible.
1 was greatly pleased with one
which came the other day and which
was published in Tho Georgian yes
terday. It vuis chock full «*f senti
ment, and it we* the sort of letter I
wished I had written. I’m not going
to say who wrote It, or indicate which
letter It was, but If you read all the
letters printed yesterday you doubt
less picked it out without trouble.
It wasn’t a long letter. Quite the
contrary; but It certainly contained a
splendid suggestion. I hope other
letters with similar good sugges
tions will be received. I am afraid
some of the writers haven't read the
rules carefully. 1 have tried to make
thorn very plain. Better read them
over aguln If you contemplate writ
ing.
Here are some of the letters Just
received:
INSURANCE POLICY.
Miss Mary Lea I Hi vis.
I suggest an insurance policy
of several thousand dollars as a
gift from husband to wife.

be a nice curving set.
MRS. U. Q. M.

A HAPPY HOivlE.
Miss Mary 1-ea Davis:
I would say that the nicest
Christmas present for u husband
would be a happy home, with a
loving wife to minister to his
wants 365 days in the year, and
then a smoking jacket, a pair of
house slippers and a box of his
favorite cigars and a book by his
favorite author given him by his
wife with her love
MRS. II. C. H.
Gainesville, Ga.
A PLEASANT SMILE.
MNs Mary Lea Davis:
I think the best present for the

confidence that will last always.
He will appreciate that most ef
all. MRS. O. I). P
Atlanta, Ga.
A SAFETY RAZOR.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
If husband is in the habit of
getting shaved at a barber shop
t\vo or three tymes a week, get
him a safety razor and then in
sist upon his putting uside the
same amount each week that he
had been paying the barber after
he begins the use of the safety.
At the end of the year he will
have [tut aside possibly $25 or
$30, and this will solve the
Christmas present problem for
him next Christmas
Atlanta, Ga. MRS. K. C.
A GOOD PIPE
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the best Christmas
present a wife can give her hus
band is a smoking jacket, meer
schaum pipe and The Georgian.

I suggest that husband likes

Rome, Ga. MRS Iv B.
A DAILY SMILE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the most useful and
comforting present you could give
your husband (I mean the hus
band who has a regular fault
finder for a wife) would be a
sweet, cheerful smile for Christ
mas—-one like you gave when you
were sweethearts—and promise
him he will get the same sweet
smile each day for the next year.

very appropriate and useful gift

Give your husband a permit to
go where he pleases 365 even

and you will find him when you
want him—at home with you,

LONDON, Dec. 6.—A news agen’y
dispatch to a London newspaper from
Bucharest to-day report j that 100 per

a wreck on the Orient Railway near
Coleshti, Roumanla.
Since John M. Slaton was sworn in
as Governor of Georgia (since June
27, to be exact) he has made some
thing over 150 appointments to of
fice, of various kinds.
This unusually large list includes
judges of both Superior and County
Courts, Solicitors, members of Boards
of Trustees and Control of gne sort
and another, one judge of the Court
of Appeals, one State Tax Commis
sioner, and a State Game Warden.
The lint does not include numerous
delegated to conventions here and
there, in the State and beyond.
It is rather significant, so the Gov
ernor's friends think, that In all this
long list of appointees, not one
should have been the cause of se
rious friction or hard feeling In any
quarter To be sure, there have been
disappoitned ones, who, seeking of
fice, as they honorably could, have
failed to land. A man rarely, goes
after a plum, big or little, unless he
really and truly wants It, either for
himself or another. Naturally, he
hates not to win. There have been,
too, numerous contests for appoint
ment more or less vehemently, even
bitterly, fought out before the Gov
ernor.
Governor Slaton is. above all
things however, a thoroughgoing
diplomat. There never was a man
in Georgia Appp**£tly who • ould with
more uniform success weld together
opposing views and bring surer order
out of possible political chaos.
Every applicant for office who
comes before the Governor receives
a full and complete hearing. The
Executive hns kept open mtiny va
cancies in order to let all sides be
hc*ard exhaustively.
Once a hearing has been concluded,
however, both sides find that the
Governor lias a head very much of
his own. He Is the umpire, and he
doesn’t hesitate to make decisions! It
Is something worth considering, nev
ertheless, that he should have been
so successful thus far—knock wood!
—in keeping all sides to all ques
tions in such good humor, even after
awards have been made.
The Winder News is keeping its
eye on politics in South Georgia, and
has noticed things.
In this week’s issue of The News it
is observed editorially: "The ‘Baby of
the Georgia Legislature’ is going to
run for United States Congress. He
hasn’t actually announced, but his
friends are positive of his intention.
Grover C. Edmonson, Representative
from Brooks County, is only 23 years
of age, and if he wins the Congres
sional race Ge«>rgia will have the hon
or of having the youngest Gongress-
man In the whole United States.”
That race in the Eleventh certainly
will be a "mix-up,” even If no more
than the present announced candi
dates get in the game.
So far, YY’alker, Parker, Converse
and Edmonson Already are apparent
ly in "to stay put.” and further an
nouncements are looked for every day.
The new textbooks adopted for use
in the common schools of the 8taie
will not be required for use ir\ the
schools before next fall. Superin
tendent Brittain has sent word to the
various county superintendents to
that effect.
The impression somehow got abroad
that these new’ books must b6 secured
for use in the schools by January 1,
1914. the time the present book con
tracts expire, but that is not the case.
The new books must be ready for use
next session—which begins in Sep
tember—but will not be required be
fore then.
The Congressional race in the Ninth
District, if there is to be a race this
time, is a little slow’ shaping itself.
Some time ago it was reported that
both John N. Holder and William A.
‘ harters, parties to a very spectacular
three-cornered race against Congress
man “Tom" Bell last time, in which
Bell wus victorious, again would en
ter the lists against the present Rep
resentative.
Of late, however, nothing much of
this proposed fight has been heard,
and there are those who are predict
ing that Bell may have the Congres
sional position again, without pro
test, if he wishes it so.
On the contrary, however, this
amicable and altogether pretty ar
rangement may not be founded on
facts—and even if it is, it probably
is, like a railroad schedule, "subject
to change without notice."
All three of these old rivals in the
Ninth are splendid men—each is full
Congressional size, and any one of
them, with the others out of the way,
most likely would make a Congress
man altogether acceptable to the peo
ple of the district concerned.
Governor Blaton, who Is in New
York on business vitally concerning
the State, will return to Atlanta next
Wednesday. He will leave New York
Tuesday, reaching home the next aft
ernoon. and will be in the Executive
offices in the Capitol Thursday.
In anticipation of the Governor’s
return, the Mansion in Peachtree
street is being put in shape for his re
ception. lie and Mrs. Slaton will re
side there during the holiday season,
and for some time thereafter.
Workmen have been laboring in
side that ancient edifice for weeks
endeavoring to make it look like a
sure-enough, honest-to-goodness Gov
ernor’s Mansion, but the job has been
most strenuous, and the result is
rather uncertain!

Mail Christmas
Packages Early,
Says Postmaster
If you want the parcel post to carry
your Christmas gift, get It into the
Atlanta postoffice as long before
Christmas as possible.
That is the advice of Postmaster
Jones.
"Next Monday the rush ought to
begin." he said. "Then we can handle
the flood of Christmas packages in
some sort of order. But I do not see
how* we can handle the great rush of
parcel p<'st packages if it is delayed
until two or three days before Christ
mas.
"Only this morning five solid car
loads of unsorted mall were received
at the Hunter Street terminal for
distribution over the Southern States.
The incoming mail has so increased
that a proportionate increase for the
next two weeks would swamp us.”

KIMBALL 10 PAY
20 P. CT. OF DEBTS
An order in the Federal District
Court signed Saturday by Judge Wil
liam T. Newman confirms a compro
mise in the Kimball House bank
ruptcy case. The unsecured creditors
are to be paid 20 per cent of their
claims, which total $18,888.39. The
order states that a majority of the
creditors accepted the offer. John YV.
Grant advanced $5,000, subject to the
court’s order, out of which to pay the
20 per cent on which the compromise
was based.
The secured creditors—the H. I.
Kimball House Company, with a rent
claim of $13,200, and Mrs. Annie. In
man Grant, with a similar claim of
$1.800—waived their claims to facili
tate the settlement. The order re
cites that it is the opinion of the court
that the compromise offers t.he best
basis of settlement.

Public School Bond
Question Goes Over
To January Session
Consideration of a bond issue for
schools by the Board of Education
has been postponed until the January
meeting. At a special meeting Fri
day It was decided the best direction
of the energies of the members at
present would be toward obtaining as
large an appropriation as possible
when the Finance Committee of
Council makes up the new budget.
Two members of a special commit
tee of the Board of Education—Colo
nel W. R. Daley and W. H. Terrell-
urged a large bond issue for new
schools in a report to the board. Mar.
eelius M. Anderson submitted a mi
nority report opposing a bond issue.
The Board of Education is even
worse divided than tile committee ac
tion would indicate.
