DULL SOCIAL WEEK SAVED
BY GAY WEEK-END AFFAIRS
The past week was more quiet

gold medals offered for swimming and
diving were presented. '

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWR
Neither Side Ready
For Empire Hearing;
Depositions Go On
Taking of depositions was re
sumed Saturday in the case of Judge
J. R. Brown, a stockholder, against
the Empire Life Insurance Company.
The examination of witnesses was
held in the offices of Watkins & Lat
imer, before Court Commissioner
Perry.
The deposition taking is prelimi
nary to the court trial on the peti
tion of Judge Brown for a receiver.
The case was to be called in the
Superior Court Saturday morning,
but neither side was ready, and the
hearing was postponed. Taking cof
depositions will continue probably
for some time, as the examination of
each witness iavolves considerable de
tail.

and general counsel of the company,
was examined Friday by attorneys
for the plaintiff. It was given out
that his testimony concerned a de
cision of officers and directors of the
company several months ago that 3
receiver should be asked for, because
of unfriendly litigation pending. A
petition to that end was prepared,
presented to the Superior Court, and
subsequently withdrawn.

WFLENDON NOT A
CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNDR
Colonel Withdraws When Pro
fessed Friend’s Backing Does
Not Materialize,
Colone! 8§ Guvt McLendon will not
be a candidate for Governor. His
former announcement to the effect
that he would be has been withdrawn
and Colonel McLendon has notified
the Secretary of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee to that effect.
The history of Colonel McLendon's
near-candidacy for Governor is in
teresting. He knew nothing what
ever primarily of the movement to
place him before the people, until a
well known traveling man from Mid
dle Georgia called upon him at his
rooms in the Kimball House and in
formed him that a number of his
friends, for purely patriotic purposes,
desired to place Colonel McLendon's
name before the people.
Colonel McLendon had perfect con
fidence in this proposal. and con
sented. At the suggestion of this
same man, Colonel McLendon noti
fled the State Committee of his pur
pose to run for Governor and stated
that the required deposit of $250
would be forthcoming shortly,
The gentleman who called upon
Colonel McLendon, however, failed to
put up the deposit, as promised, al
though he made four or five engage
ments to do so. Eventually, it oc
curred to Colonel McLendon that he
had been duped, and he at once
wrote the secretary of the commit
tee, withdrawing his name
All sorts of absurd stories were told
as to “the true purpose” of McLen
don's candidacyv, but the foregoing
are the facts of the matter
Colonel McLendon's card te the
secretary of the committee reads:
“A. H. Ulm, Secretary Democratic
Executive Committee: Yielding to
the request of a gentleman who
claimed to speak for himself and
otherg, one I had known: for several
years under professions of friend
ship and who came under the tongue
of good report, 1 consented that he
and others might enter my name as
a candidate for Governor, I now
withdraw that consent.
Yours truly,

quite so close a
margin. JAMES B NEVIH
That ends the
matter, so far as this Legislature is
concerned, and the Georgla suffra
gists realize that fully.
Nevertheless, the advocates of
woman suffrage in Georgia —and
there are very many of them—have
made marked progress, and their
work before the present Legislature
likely will bear fruit.
For one thing, they submitted their
arguments in such an intelligent
manner and through such forceful
channels that they have commanded
absolute respect. i{f not acquiescence.
It may have been all right—or, at
Jeast, politically safe—to laugh the
sdvocates of woman suffrage out ot
the Capitol a few years ago, but that
day has passed, and forever. Now
sdays, the question of woman suf
frage is challenging the attention not
only of the most sincere and thought
ful women of the nation, but of the
same class of men. Woman suffrage
long ago ceased evervwhere to be a
joke!
It probably {9 safe to predict that
every State {n the Union will have
granted suffrage to women before an
other decade has passed. It may be
—and perhaps properly—that the
States of the South will be the last
to agree to the proposal, but agree
they will in time.
In the meantime, If those earnest
and sincere women in Georgia who
are moving and organizing to that
end will continue to work along the
same intelligent lines that they have
proceeded upon this summer, the day
of equal suffrage in Georgia is sure
to be hastened, and llkely hastened
very much,
A little something happened in the
Georgla Legislature the other day
that has ha‘-pened a number of times
before—but it was an incident that
may 'be used to point a moral and
acorn a tale, nevertheless. .
It was one of the relatively small
things of life that make the study of
politics fascinating and engaging—it
concerned the apparent making in a
minute of a large and far-reaching
{nfluence in the House that thereto
fore had been totally unsuspected.
Representativer Dodd, of Bartow
County, is a plain, blunt man. He is
a farmer of the rugged type. About
