11 "The Girl of My Dreams” is the
.duel of eminent composers and
rettists. These gentlemen must
vo been’content to rest on laurels
erwise won—dr maybe
this was
tush order. At any rate, it must
i.r- said that "The Girl of My Dreams.”
v**ning at the Atlanta Theater
Thursday night, is not a monumental
stage piece.
\ musical comedy, which should be
• uhing if not brightly effervescent,
jat drags itself along with only one
r two songs receiving more than a
.;ngle lukewarm encore—well. not
much can be said for its appeal.
In the one song that received an ex
ceptionally warm greeting, ”Dr. Tin-
io Tinkle,” advantage was taken of
this opportunity of manufacturing an
• ppeal. The chorus was displayed in
rills that were unique, and the mal
igns, besides, were gayly arrayed for
once. It would have been just as
easy to dress up the other ensem
bles. and thus to give more of a
punch to the whole show.
The company is not to be blamed
for the lack of cordiality displayed by
the Thursday night audience. There
were many in the cast who deserved
really brighter lines and better sit
uations. Eda Von Luke, as Daphne,
the sentimental milliner, was as good
at times as any funny woman who
has exploited her talents in these
parts recently. Roy Purviance, in
leading role, has an excellent vofte,
and the desirable savoir faire of the
hero. The singing of Countess Olga
Von Hatzfeldt, in the heroine’s part,
was as good as the luster of her
name would lead you to expect. Ir
ving Brooks, as Count Von Schnig-
gleflts, proved to be rather funny be
fore the final curtain fell. Neil Burns
and Adele Boulais, the juveniles,
made good.
"The Girl of My Dreams” will be
at the Atlanta for performances Fri
day and Saturday evenings, and mat
inee Saturday.
Secretary of State Phil Cook, ex-
officio automobile boss of Georgia, is
out one large, fat box of perfectly
good cigars—not campaign stogies—
because he couldn’t produce a certain
automobile number to the exact lik
ing of a certain automobile plutocrat.
Said plutocrat is a genuine Geor
gian, and hankered for tab No. 711.
He felt that he never would get into
trouble with anybody if his car might
be tagged with that mystic symbol.
He informed Secretary of State Cook
of this desire, and further told him
that along with the request for tag
No. 711 would come a fine box of ci
gars, with a note stating that if the
writer got the tag Cook could keep
the cigars, but if he didn’t get the
tag the cigars must come back.
Investigation showed that tag No.
711 long ago went to somebody else
and can not now be duplicated. So
the Secretary had to pass up the ci
gars. He says if he had thought of it
he would have reserved tag No. 711
for some such emergency, as he mignt
have known it would arise sooner or
later.
Taking time by the forelock in an
other direction, however. Colonel
Cook has put aside tag No. 41144—and
he proposes to get a box of cigars for
that some doy, or know why!

LONDON, Dec. 19. Grand Duk<
Boris of Russia testified to-day ii
behalf of himself In the final hearing I
of his libel suit against the Frank A.
Munsey Company, based on an arti
cle describing the plaintiff's behavior
in Manchuria during the Russo-Jap

M
Governor Slaton approves of the
Jim Price variety of Georgia dinner,
such as the one given recently by that
gentleman at the University Club in
Atlanta.
“Everything at Price’s dinner was
Georgia raised and Georgia bred. The
menu served was ralher hearty, but
it was genuinely local. There were
are sorts of varieties of pork—back
bone, chitterlii.j, spareribs, sausage,
Jowl, and what not. It all came from
a good Georgia farm—and it was fine
eating.” said the Governor to-day.
„ “I enjoy a dinner of Georgia prod
ucts a little bit more than any other
kind. Price’s was a fine one—and I
hope he never will overlook me when
framing one up!”
re-election to the House next year—
although it is an open secret that lie I
might go to the Senate unopposed, if
he wished to—and will be a candi
date to succeed himself as Speaker.
It does not seem at all ikely that
Burwell will be opposed for re-elec
tion either to the House or to the
Speakership. He has made a splen- ,
did record thus far, is popular and Is 1
universally agreed to be an unusually •
able presiding officer.
It has been lie custom in Georgia ;
to re-elect acceptable Speakers. Clark ;
Howell. John Little, John M. Slaton ;
and others w’ere awarded that honor |
without protest or question.

SCHOOL RECOVERS
FROM DIABETES
It was nearly thr£e years ago when
the physicians attending J. J. Penne-
packer, Principal of the schools of
Hoquiam. Wash., agreed that they could
do nothing more for him. He was bro
ken down with Diabetes and was be-
leved to be incurable. Tests showed 4
per cent of sugar. A recent letter is as
follows:
“Hoquiam. Wash., April 5, 1913.
John J. Fulton Co., Gentlemen:-r-
"lt is a long time since I wrote you,
out I have not forgotten you nor the
wonderful good Fulton’s Diabetic Com
pound has done for me. I have almost
daily inquiries about the Compound that
cured me, and I am writing to ask for
some more of your literature. I call
myself well, although I am still taking
the Compound. Yours truly,
“J. J. PENNEPACKER.”
If you have Diabetes and are of mid
dle age or over do you not owe it to
yourself and family to try Fulton’s
Renal Compound before giving up? It

South Qeorgia apparently has put in
something of a bid to fame as North
Georgia’s rival in the matter of
“moonshine” distilling.
Deputy Collector of Internal Reve
nue Cooley, of the Southern District
of Georgia, recently nosed out an il
licit still about eight m.les from
Thomasville, and promptly confis
cated the outfit. Mr. Cooley found
several barrels of beer and booze, and
everything showed that the still had
been in very recent operation.
There have been reports verv fre
quently of stills around Thomas
County, especially in the lower part
of it, but they have been hard to lo
cate, as witnesses summoned always
fail to testify “satisfactorily,” or
something or other.
If they are going to manufacture it
in South Georgia by the wholesale,
they will have to quit calling it gen-
*-rally “mountain dew,” anyway, us
there are no mountains in South
Georgia.
A rather sillv story—designed orig
inally as a joke, perhaps—has been
going the rounds of the press in
Georgia concerning Judge Samuel B.
Adams, of Savannah, and some re
cently expressed views of his in re
spect to woman’s suffrage.
Judge Adams gave to the press a
few days ago a very scholarly and
dignified argument against woman
suffrage, which attracted great atten
tion throughout, the State. A few
days later a story was sent out from
Savannah to the effect that the judge
had been swamped with protesting
letters from all quarters, and that
“sharp division actually had arisen in
his family” because of the " lews ex
pressed.
At first the judge looked upon the
matter as a joke, if a rather poor one,
but later it became m^re or less em
barrassing. and now it seems to re
quire a mild measure of polite denial.
As a matter of fact, the judge his
received only a few letters concerning
his article, all of them commending it.
Nobodv has protested to him about
it, although many people doubtless
entertain views entirely different
from those expressed by the judge.
And as to division in his household—
that, of course, is absurd.
Judge Samuel B. Adams Is one cf
Georgia’s most splendid men—an abb' |
lawyer, a just judge, a student and i |
scholar. His fear of woman suffrage I
is that it might make woman le ; s ;
womanly—and that is the one fear,
moreover, of many people who hon- |
estly and heartily ennu b believe oth
erwise in the righteousness of the
cause.
