Armistead Goes in Person Before
: ’
Voters, While Opponent’s Ad
mirers Conduct Meetings,
Three meetings of Candler sup
porters and one of Armistead men,
addressed by the candidate, formed
the political entertainment of Friday
night, one of the hottest of the sea
son. Mr. Armistead spoke at Capi
tol View, in the Tenth Ward. The
(andler folks met at Gordon and Lu
| cile, in the Battle Hill end of the
Seventh; at Faiths Crossing, far out
in the Ninth, and at I. N. Ragsdale’s
residence, in Oakland City, in the
Tenth,
Mr. Armistead repeated his charges
that Mr. Candler’s philanthropy will
bring him in- excellent returns, and
asserted that a committee of employ
ees did call on Mr. Candler to ask
for a wage advance, despite all de
nials thereof. Mr. Armistead was in
troduced by Attorney Sam Crane.
A. R. Colcord presided at the Sey
enth Ward Candler rally, and James
L. Mayson, \L‘ity Attorney, spoke. He
expressed the opinion that Atlanta
nad nothing but railroads and grit, no
new enterprises were coming to town,
and a dark cloud was hanging over
the munieipality, which nothing but
the election of Mr. Candler could dis
sipate. That being accomplished, the
ity would prosper and the schools
enlarge, and general prosperity would
reign.
J. L. Carpenter, Councilman from
the Ninth Ward, was the principal
speaker at the Faiths Crossing meet
ing. At the Oakland City meeting
the Tenth Ward Club was organized,
with W. H. Bell as president, and E.
M. McGee as secretary. It was de
cided to have three rallies in the
Tenth next week, the first to be Tues
day night.
A Candler Club was organized Fri
day at the Phoenix Planing Mill, T.
C. Holmes addressing the workmen
and starting the organization. He
said 80 per cent of the registered vot
ers there had joined the club.

Near-Fight Enlivens
Session in H
The first near-fight between mem
bers of the House on the floor this
session, occurred Friday afternoon
while uncontested bills were being
turned out in rapid fire order. Occa
sionally a bill was delayed by an ob
jection from some member, and such
bill was relegated to the tail end of
the calendar.
The trouble occurred between Rep
resentatives Bale, of Floyd, and Dg
vidson, of Putnam. The former asZed
unanimous consent for the pasN ge
of his bill making the theft of motor
vehicles a felony. Mr. Davidson ob
jected as he had to several other bills.
Mr. Bale made the point that Mr.
Davidson did not rise and address the
chalr Speaker Burwell sustained
the point, and Mr, Davidson arose
and renewed the ohjection
Angered, Mr. Bale went to Mr
Davidson's seat and told him it was
a “captious objection.” Mr. Davidson
leaped to his feet, grabbed an inkwell
and was ready to hur! it when Mr.
Hopkins, of Thomas, knocked it from
his hand. Other members crowded
around. Before the sergeant-at-arms,
summoned by the Speaker, had
reached the two members, they had
separated.

Mobile Pilots Agree

To Arbitrate Fight
MOBILE, ALA., Aug. 12.—Mobile
Bay and her pilots told the Staet Har
bor Commission Thursday night they
could not agree between ths-msolvl‘!l
as to the right of seniority and that
they were going to split into two‘
bodies, |
G. Gordon Crawford, member of tho‘
board from Birmingham, told the pl~|
lots that if they did the board would
license from three to nine pilots and
declare the competition for pilotage
open to any one. This action caused
the warring pilots to agree to arbi
trate.
This fight is being watched closely
by pllots at New Orleans, Savannah
and along the gulf coast.
Finds Wil Wanti
When the Republicans and former Progressives in Carnegie Hall applauded the emphatic
statements in Mr. Hughes' speech accepting the Republican Presidential nomination, they
were endorsing ‘‘the real Republican Platform,’’ as one writer calls it. The applauese was
wined in by Colonel Roosevelt who sat in a conspicuous box and told reporters, after the
meeting, what ‘‘an admirable speech’’ it was and how satisfactory he found the speaker’s
exposure of Mr. Wilson's Mexican Policy and Mr. Wilson’s handling of our foreign affairs.
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for August 12th, is an extensive article setting forth
the views of both the Republican and Democratic press of the nation on this, Mr,
Hughes's first important public utterance since his nomination.
Other articles of timely importance in this issue, are:

Senate Passes Amendment to Pay
All Dues Before Buildings
Are Erected.
Maintenance appropriations for
educationai institutions of the State
are protected under an amendment
offered by Senator John D. Walker, of
the Twentieth, Friday and adopted by
the Senate. It provides that all such
appropriations shali be paid, espe
cially the public school fund and pen
sions, before new appropriations for
buildings shall be available. It was
attached to all educational appropria
tions.
This includes the SIOO,OOO appro
priation for the State Normal and the
$50,000 appropriation for the State
Industrial College, Valdosta. The
amendment was offered because Sen
ator Walker thought the State's
finances were in bad shape, but real
ized the need of new buildings at
some of the institutions.
The Senate also passed a bill to
pay $2,500 expenses of the legislative
committees of 1916 incurred while vis
iting State institutions, and fourteen
measures, carrying S6O each, for those
who, for providential reasons, had
failed to get their pensions.
The bill providing for the creation
of a State board of electrical examin
ers was passed without debate.

Reserve Ships to Try to Beat Off
) ‘e
and Destroy Mayo’s ““Hos-
Uit

(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—The en
tire Atlantic fleet, under command of
Admiral Mayo, will attempt to land
men and establish a base on the At
lantic coast somewhere between Cape
Hatteras and Eastport, Maine. The
entire Atlantic reserve fleet, with the
addition of several ‘“constructive”
ships, will try in every way to beat off
and destroy the attacking fleet. Rear
Admiral Helm will command the de
fensive flotilla.
This is the plan for the war game
to be played beginning August 20,
Rear Admiral Knight, president of
the Naval War College, will be on
board the new dreadnought Pennsyl
vania, which has recently been
launched and is not yet assigned to
the fleet, as the umpire. Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt wiil
be one of the observers and will have
a destroyer assigned to him.
The entire Navy Department will
be mobilized to aid the defensive
fleet. Rear Admiral Benson, chief of
operations, will be in supreme charge
of the operations of the “home” fleet
and will direct it in its larger details.
Constant touch will be maintained
with Rear Admiral Helm through the
Arlington radio station.
At the beginning of “hostilities” the
attacking fleet will be mobilized 600
miles off shore. The defcnding fleet
will be halfway between the attacking
fleet and the coast. A week will be
permitted Admiral Mayvo in which to
effect a Janding and establish a base.
The Naval War College then will con
sider all of the reports and point out
the flaws in tactics in which both
commanders may be gullty.

LONDON, Aug. 12.—The Austrian

advanced base for the Italian forces
to strike at Trieste, the principal
commercial port of the dual empire,
and at the same stroke the Austrian
army was 3 diminished by an army

The cumulative effect of so many

must detach the dual monarchy from

The amazing resources of Chambers’ knowledge of hu

that gallops through empires and episodes, gathering in its
train as astounding a crew of characters as ever romance

Melodrama and fantasma: the flash of blades and the
clash of destinies; the mysticism of the East and the devo

tend their left wing inland so as grad
ually to overlap the defending army.
Either the Austrians must sacrifice
the precious Illyrian ports and the
seaboard foundations of their power
on the Adriatic, or they must now
oppose new and numerous legions of
the Italian invaders, How they are
to collect such reinf¥orcements with
the Russians threatening their very
existence in Galicia will furnish in
teresting problems, both to the Aus
trian and German high command.
After two years of war the Allies
have at length mastered the strategic
principle of using their offensive
strength in combination. The Rus
slans are directing a vast army of
invasion at the very vitals of large
Austrian masses at the other ex
tremity of the empire and also are
threatening to deal deadly 4lows at
the center of Austrian resources.
The closely combined work of the
French and British armics in France
is holding the main German army
with a vise. If it is weakened for
the benefit of the Austrian ally, it
runs the serious risk of being pene
trated and cut up, which would be
a decisive catastrophe for the cen
tral lines.

Tennessee Bonds
"
Gone; Probe Begun
NASHVILLE, TENN., Aug. 12—
Whether $1,000,000 worth of Tennessee
Central Railroad bonds have been
shipped away from Nashville and
“voting certificates” substituted is
furnishing ground for a very heated
controversy between Commissioner of
Finance Paul W. Treanor and the Un
ion Bank and Trust Company.
The bonds were placed with the
banking house to be held in trust.
Some time ago the Tennessee Central
went into the hands of a receiver, and
since then it is alleged the bonds were
carried elsewhere and disposed of.
Commissioner Treanor has asked John
Fletcher, of Evansville, Ind., an asso
ciate of the late Jere Baxter, to come
to Nashville and assist him in “run
ning down the crooks.”
