Armistead Goes in Person Before
! 4 ’
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
Candler folks met at Gordon and Lu
cile, in the Battle Hill end of the
ceventh; 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
ces 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, City 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 municipality, which nothing but
the election of Mr. Candler could dis
sipate. That being accomplished, the
city 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.
. Holmes addressing the workmen
ind starting the organization. He
said 80 per cent of the registered vot
ers there had joined the club.
Near-Fight Enliven
Ss | H
The first near-fight between mem
hers of the House on the floor this
session, occurred Friday afternoon
vhile uncontested bills were being
turned out in rapid fire order. Occa- |
sionally a bill was delayed by an uh-‘
jsction from some member, and such
bill was relegated to ‘the tail end of
the calendar. ‘
The trouble occurred hetween Rep
resentatives Bale, of Floyd, and Dy~
vidson, of Putnam 'he former asZzed
unanimous consent for the pnl\\gnl
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
ind renewed the objection.
Angered, Mr. Bale went to Mr.
Davidson's seat and told him it was
a “captious objection.” Mr. Davidson
caped to his feet, grabbed an inkwell
ind was ready to hurl it when Mr.
Hopkins, of Thomas, knocked it from
his hand Other members crowded
round. Before the sergeant-at-arms,
summoned by the Speaker, had
reached the two members, they had
separated.

MOBILE, ALA., Aug. 12.—Mobile
Bay and her pllots told the Staet Har- |
bor Commission Thursday night they!
could not agree between themselves
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 pi~‘
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 pilots at New Orleans, Savannah
and along the gulf coast.
Finds Wil Wantir
“When the Republicans and former Progressives in Carnegie Hall applavded 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 applause was
joined in by Colonel Roosevelt who sat in a conspicuous box and told reporters, after the
meeting, what ‘‘an admirgble 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.

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 shall 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
"
and Destroy Mayo’s ““Hos
: tile” Craft,
(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
lantie coast somewhere between Cape
Hatteras and Eastport, Maine. The
entire Atlantic reserve fleet, with the
addition of several ‘“censtructive”
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 bes 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 defending fleet
will be halfway between the attacking
fleet and the coast. A week will be
permitied Admiral Mayo in which to
effect a landing 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.

Austrian Forces Seriously Weak

By CAPTAIN CECIL BATTINE.
Special War Dispatch to The Gecr

LONDON, Aug. 12.—The Austrian
stronghold of Gorizia has become an
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 wa3 diminished by an army
corps in killed, wounded and prison

The cumulative effect of so many
great disasters after two years of
sanguinary fighting is dangerous to
the very existence of the Austrian
State and if their progress continues
must detach the dual monarchy from
the German alllance.
The Itallan advance guard now is
within twenty miles of Trieste al

have been carefully intrenched so

The Dark Star
By Robert W. Chambers
The amazing resources of Chambers’ knowledge of hu
manity, of places and races, have been warped into a tale
that gallops through empires and episodes, gathering in its
train as astounding a crew of characters as ever romance
knew—and a girl.
Melodrama and fantasma: the flash of blades and the
clash of destinies; the mysticism of the East and the devo
tion that knows neither bounds nor time—crafty brains
pitted against the clean fervor of staunch valor—hair
raising and gorgeously whimsical situations—and love. |
All of Chambers and none of him that you ever knew before.
A tender, kindly, tense and rollicking story which promiees a denowe

pected, unless the Italians can ex-1
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 reinforcements 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 mas&red 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 %lows at
the center of Austrian resources.
The closely combined work of the
French and {:ritish 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.

NASHVILLE, TENN,, Aug. 12—
Whether $1,000,000 worth of Tennessee
Central Ralilroad bonds have been
shipped away from Nasghville 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 crcoks.”
