Mr. Taft makes no bones of saving, at any old time and in am old pla< •*■,( that he had rather visit in Augusta than anywhere he knows of on this earth! He likes Augusta frankly be cause Augutita makes home folks” of him. and always has, even when'll? was the President He. is treated with all the dignity and consideration his distinguished position before the na tion entitles him to, but there never anything strained or stilted about the reception he gets in Au gusta or tHe cordiality of his contin uous welcome while there. It is for that same reason that John D. Rockefeller gets so-much pleasure from his annual visits to .Augusta. The Oil King has said that he llk'-s Augusta because the natives of that burg never seem mindful of the fa t that he is Mr. Rockefeller. He is per mitted to ramble around town as he likes, to drop in on a neighbor to pass the time o' day, or into a shop to buy a necktie, and nobody pays any ■par ticular attention to him, save by way of coUt*t#oui and not at oil ostenta tious salutation or reciprocal line of talk Concerning Mr. Taft’s forthcoming visit The Augusta Chronicle says: "It was understood some time ago that Mr. Taft would spend his winter va cation in Augusta but, we believe, prior to this it was not definite’y known just when he was to come. It is needless to say that there will be in Augusta, by all Atigustans, for Mr. Taft the warmest kind of a welcome. In truth, as he would put 1t himself, he Is ’coming hone’ to spend a fort night or so with the ’home folk.’ ’’ Another test prohibition case Ps coming to the Supreme Court from Savannah, .and upon its disposition will depend a very great dead of the future of prohibition law enforcement in (ieorgla. Three licensed near-beer dealers In Savannah, recently restrained from “selling intoxicating liquors, which is prohibited by law," have been held to be in contempt of court by Judge Charleton, of the Superior Court, for violating that injunction, .and tinea $200 each. These cases will now' come on to Ili• • court of review, for that hig 1 body to say whether a judge mnv pat* finally upon matters of fact in this manner, or whether it is necessary for a Jury to say that the injunction his been violated. If Judge Charleton is sustained by the court of review, it will mean a big victory for the prohibitionists. If, ou the contrary, he is reversed and held to be without authority to say when, as a matter of fact, a defendant ’H guilty of having violated the prohibi tion law, unless a jury pass upon t]jo fac ts, it will be hailed as a big victory for those persons onnosed to extreme prohibition in Georgia. In the light of some recent deci sions. the impression among lawyers generally is that the Savannah judg“ likely will be reversed, but Uie ques tion now coining up from his court is shaped not exactly after a similar fashion to those cases heretofore ruled upon. Representative J^O. Adams, of Hal 1 , is in Atlanta for a row days. Mr. Adams i« serving his second term as a member of the Legislature from Hall County, and likely will be returned to (he next House. He has been mentioned prominently for Con gress in his district, but he declares his ambitions do not run In that di rection. Indeed, he* is more or less reluctant to, stand for the House again, hut his constituents seem to feel that his place would be hard to fi'.l satisfactorily, and pressure has ben brought to bear upon him to the end that he may be* re-elected, an! probably without opposition. Mr. Adams is a practicing attorney in Gainesville, and his services in the Legislature annually involve a consid erable financial sacrifice upon his part. % If Warren Grice, of HawKintviilv. isn't appointed judge >>f the Court of Appeals to succeed Judge .Pottle, it will not be because he has not had enthusiastic and influential friends working for him in Atlanta. One of the biggest delegations appearing in any candidate’s interest went before the Governor in Mr Grice’s behalf Tuesday, headed by “Billie” Wooten, of Albany. The Governor gave this delegation a perfectly respectful hear ing, hut when last heard from still was sawing wood. And, then, there is Candidate Wade, of Dublin. The Governor is obliged to have him very muob in mind, be cause they are* lifelong friends ami were roommates at College—a mighty strong tie, and particularly with a man like the Governor. And, then, once more, there is Judge Sellers, of Baxley and Judge And. besides, Judge Pottle hasn’t yet sent in his resignation! Judge Augustus W. Fite, militant and aggressive as ever, has been taking a hand in the row now on in Griffin look ing to Die enactment <>f a “blue sky” near-beer license law in ihat metrop olis. The Judge made 'em a speech down there Tuesday night that is said t<> have be.Ml the real thing He Is a good speaker and possesses In abundance Dai qualltv of oratory tin* newspaper bo vs <all "the punch! I’he punch.” nevertheless, is nothing that comes within the proscription of the State wide prohibition law his honor is as sured of ihat. .fudge Fite hurried back to Carters vllle to-da\ after hesitating temporarily in the Kimball House lobby, where he also has a few real nifty fights of one sort and another on his bands. There is one thing about Judge Kite neither his friends nor his enemies seem to have any trouble whatever lo cating his whereabouts in a scrap. Thursday being New Year’s Day. it will be observed as a holiday. In the Capitol. The Governor will not be In execu tive offices, and all the departments will be <. Clark, as Lecturer, Unafraid of Critics B( ASTON. Dec. 31. “What's the idea of your lecturing?” Champ Clark was asked here. “Money,’’ drawled Mr Clark. “Aren't you afraid you will get the same brand of publicity as Mr Bryan?” “No sir: I never lecture while Con gress Is in session.” Daniels’ Invitation To New Year’s Fete Stirs Naval Circles WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—Naval of ficers and the ladies of their families are commenting on the following order issued at the Navy Department: “The Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Daniels will be at home at Single Oak from 2 b> 7 p. m., on New Year’# Day. Wives and other female relatives of callers will be cordially welcomed.” Members of officers’ families who pre sume that they must be meant by the designation "female relativfjs” feel that they have not been flattered. As a result of comment, responsi bility for the order is dodged. It bears the signature of Rear Admiral Victor Blue, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, but it’ Is said that the Bureau issued it after it had been dictated by the Secretary himself. Husband Must Pay Tax as Family Head WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—The hus band i.s head of the household, not withstanding laws to the contrary, the Treasury Department to-day officially ruled. On these grounds it was decided that payments of income tax should be mane by the husband rfn the ;#ggre- gate in come of himself and wife.

Publish Magazine For Tango Lovers I N a statement, in which it substitutes fiction for fact, the Chicago Tribune asserts that it has a * larger net paid city circulation than any other Chicago morning newspaper. , I-ye^t anybody whom it may concern should be deceived into mistaking bluff for genuine circu lation, the Chicago Examiner makes the following proposal: That aO the Chicago morning newspapers open up their circulation books and records to the Association of American Advertisers and to such other represent ative bodies as may be selected. The Chicago Examiner herewith agrees to have this investigation made and it herewith invites the Association of American Advertisers to take the first step to bring this about. The investigation, under these auspices, would he fair and square, comprehen sive and comparative. It would remove all doubt in the minds of national ad vertisers and Chicago merchants as to the circulation, particularly the city circuhttkm, of each of the four Chicago morning newspapers. V v * The period for this investigation shall be thesix months beginning July 1,1913, and ending December 31, 1913. If any one of the other morning newspapers of Chicago refuses to open up its books and records, then the Chicago Examiner agrees herewith to have a joint investigation made with the remaining Chicago morning newspapers. If all of the other morning newspapers refuse to open their books and records, then the Chicago Examiner herewith agrees to submit to this investigation alone because the Chicago Examiner insists on proving its own circulation. T HF. CHICAGO .EXAMINER lronevtlv believes that this investigation will prove that its city circulation is far in excess of any other Chicago morning newspaper, both Daily and Sunday. * • Jmm m • The Chicago Examiner honestly believes that this investigation will further show that the net paid -Sunday circulation of the Chicago Examiner is almost double that of its nearest competitor.
