THE ATLANTA "GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THE GIRL IF I IS' SlDLUGHTS Members of Company Capable and Work Hard, but Vehicle Has Flat Tire. GEORGIA POLITICS JAMtS B.NEVTN on By TARLETON COLLIER. hi are informed,^ ostentatiously 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! Price on Committee To Discuss Tranks' Grand Duke on Stand' To Clear Character' Commissioner of Agriculture James D. Price has been named one of the three Southern delegates to take up with Congress the matter of permit ting State Departments of. Agricul ture to frank through the United States mail all State agricultural lit erature. The delegation named by the chair man of the late convention of Agrl- curtural Commissioners, held in Louisville, is composed of Commis sioners Price, of Georgia; Kone, of Texas, and Peck, of Tennessee. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. 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 anese wir. The Grand Duke was given permis sion to clear his character, after which the court decided that the plaintiff should he awarded damages equal to the costs of the case. 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.

For 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 <an he had at Edmondson Drug Co. for pamphlet or write John J. I* niton Co., San Francisco.—Advt. 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. Boy, 17, Sues Wife, 40, He Married in Secret; DES MOINES, IOWA, Dec. 19.— Charles L. Bates, 17 years old, asks the District Court to annul his mar riage to Mrs. Maud Patrick. 40 years old.
