Buy Your Diamond Where You Are Sure Y ou Will Get Just What You Think You Are Buying Aside from Ihoir beauty, people buy diamonds because they feel that their money is not spent, but merely in vested—con verted into another form of wealth.

Sidelights on GEORGIA POLITICS * J&y jamis b. hevtn PRESIDENT IIIS n Judge Richard B. Russell, of lhe| Court of Appeal**, raflier pride him- | self upon the size of his family—he i iH the proud father of fourteen —but that seems lather small potatoes be- Hide a Catoosa County farmer who boast* a family of twenty. When Judge Russell wan a candi date for Governor, his fourteen olive branches were fashioned Into one of the moat insistent planks in his plat form and now that be is up for re- election to the (’ourt of Appeals— even though no opposition is in sight -the judge doubtless will dust off that plank and put It In evidence again. Of the Catoosa gentlemen, who ought to be a Arm supporter of Judge Russell, The Catoosa Record says: "Joseph Peters, of Catoosa County, a prosperous and highly regarded farm er who lives about three miles from Ringgold, Is the proud father of twenty children, all of whom are alive and well and nearly all of whom are still on the old home plantation. Mr. Peters Is the ideal father, according to the patriarchal ideals and accord ing to the anti-rare suicide notions for which Colonel Roosevelt is fa mous” Judge Russell is now the presiding judge the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, and has served on the cour* since it was created. He is the only member of the court who has served either a full term or since Its e.sta blishment. All the weekly newspapers, practi cally without exception, are skipping their issues of this week, on account of the holiday season. It Is a custom of long standing among the Georgia weekly newspa pers not to issue an edition on Christ mas week—and it is not a bad cus tom, moreover It gives the country editors a chance to enjoy the holi day season, really and truly. Rev. J. M. Cash, an itinerant preacher of Dalton, has entered the list of candidates for the Legislature in the special election to name a suc cessor from Whitfield to the late S K. Herr\ In his formal announcement. Mr. Cash says: "Having served you as a minister of the gospel. I now have a desire to represent you at the Capi tol." The announcement of Mr. (’ash brings a four-cornered race, the other three candidates being G. G. Glenn, H. D. Keith and A. T. Gilbert. Cash is a pretty persuasive sort of name for a politician and maybe It Is all right for a politlclan-preaeher. Anyway.t Cash Is expected to give the rest of them a run for their money in Whitfield. ' u e election is to be held on January t. ing things of one sort and another over, and feels better, In Saturday's issue it says. "Griffin is determined that Atlanta. Macon and Rome shall not have all the near-beer brainstorms so it has gone and organized one of those law enforcement leagues of its own. Go td It. brethren. Like the lamented Sam Jones, we naturally hate a dull time." Because of the great pressure of work upon it, and the extraordinary delay caused by the prolonged Frank case hearing recently, the Supreme Court will not be able to give itseif any Christmas recess this year. In ordinary circumstances that high court u’ould have quit work Saturday and have permitted itself the luxury' of making this week a genuine holi day. However, the state of the docket will not admit of that relaxation at this time, and so the court is in ses sion to-day, as usual. The Georgia Supreme Court is one of the hardest worked tribunals in the Union—and it Is one of the most markedly underpaid. Only about half of trie Georgia Congressional delegation will return to Georgia for the Christmas holi days. This is very unusual, of course, and is occasioned by the long extra ses sion of Congress which merged into the regular session a. few weeks ago. Both Senators and Representatives have been obliged to make their holi day arrangements almost exclusive in Washington, and now that the time for "a run home at Christmas" is at hand, the Christmas doings all have been framed up for Washington, and there is nothing to run home to. This means, too. that campaigns for re-election to Congress must be conducted largely from Washington. The regular session will run cer tainly well along toward June, if not to August. In fact, it has about reached the point where Congress is In session practically all of the time. The next State primary likely will be called for August, and may he a little earlier. In that event, the mar gin of time left for campaigning will be rather narrow, and to make much of it, candidates will have to do some grand and lofty hustling. There will be contests In several Congressional districts--and w arm ones, moreover—not to mention other interesting rumored fights that may or may not materialize. WASHINGTON, Dec 22.- Presi dent Wilson paid his compliments to "calamity howlers" to-day when he indicated to callers at the While House that the nation understands it is the duty of "hard-times prophets" to keep busy always. The President expressed himself a* deeply pleased bver the evident incli nation of the business interests of the natkn to conform to the provisions of tlie Sherman anti-trust act, but de clined to make a specific statement on the business conditions of the coun try at the present time. He waa asked if he knew of any other corporations that were making ready to follow the voluntary disso lution move of the American Tele phone and Telegraph Company. He had none specifically in mind, he said, and reiterated his belief that Interests generally would adjust themselves to legal requirements. That the Government naturally is willing to co-operate with all busi ness men who desire to obey the law is self-evident, according to Presi dent Wilson’s views. He has gained an impression from members of his Cabinet and man.yjmembers of Con gress that business men in genera! are more than wilting to reorganize in accordance with the provisions of the law, and said the agreement as to the dissolution of ttie American Tele phone and Telegraph Company, em phasizes this impression. 1914 State Fair Dates Shifted for Masons MACON, GA., Dec. 22.—In defer ence to the Grand Lodge of Masons, which will meet here in annual con vention on October 28 and 29, the directors of the Georgia State Fair have, changed the fair dates to No vember 3 to 10. It was originally planned to hold the fair dui^ng the last ten days In October. For the purpose of stimulating greater interest in the work of the girls’ canning club, the State Fair next year will pay $1,000 in cash awards to the girls raisine the largest yields and putting up more cans. Awards amounting to $100 will be given to the winners in the pig clubs. Quit Gum and Rum And Build Warships, Is Advice of Maxim new YORK, Dec. 22. The $30,- 000,000 spent yearly in the United States for chewing gum would pay for three dreadnoughts and the $2,- 000,000.000 contributed annually to John Barleycorn would pay for 200 battleshjps." Hudson Maxim suggested this novel means of supplying a greater navy in an address delivered to-day at the "Peace" services in the New York j Theater. The only waj to prevent war, Mr. Maxim said, was to be ready for it. He declared that if Spain and the United States had been a little better prepared there would have been no war in 1898. Modern weapons contributed to peace, he said. "The machine gun is a labor-saving machine." said Mr. Maxim. "It makes possible in case of war that nineteen men should stay at home to do pro ductive labor where twenty once had to go.” Ambush Slaying In Kentucky Feud I.EXINGTON, KY., Dec. 22 Bur nett Harris. 22 years old, was assas sinated in Bath County by an un identified person con eoled by tile roadside His father killed Thurman Peirruni in the same section several months ago.
