BULGARS TAKE BIG FORTRESS
With the opening of the polls less
than 24 hours away, the management
of the four candidates for Governor
were busy Monday making the last
check of the news from the counties,
revising their estimates of counties
won and lost, and completing ar
rangements for workers at a thou
sand or two polling places. The halls
of the historic Kimball House,
brooder and incubator of many a po
litical chicken which never got home
to roost, were never quite so filled
with workers who looked busy and
idlers who looked important.
At the Harris headquarters the
friends In charge of the Governor's
campaign sald they desired to revise
their Saturday forecast only by add
ing a few counties to the Governor's
claim. These had been in the doubt
ful list until Monday. when telegrams
announced they appeared safe torl
Governor Harris.
Considerable discussion was caused
on the streets Sunday and Monday |
by one of the last remarks made by
Mr. Dorsey in his speech at the Grand ‘
Saturday night, a remark carefully
eliminated from the account of thel
&peech published Sunday in The Con- |
etitution. In rebuking Governor Har-l
ris for showing clemency toward un- |
fortunate State prisoners Mr. Dorsey |
remarked:
Dorsey in New Role. |
“Governor Harris, in his speeches,
Indulges in a lot of sentimental drivel
about the sanctity of the home and
the virtue of wife and sister, and says
he will set free the man convicted of
slaying the invader of his home.”
Among the letters and telegrams re
celved at the Harris headquarters
Monday were several commenting on
this and expressing the opinion that a
man who considers this idea of the
Protection of the home “sentimental
drivel” will hardly find his expected
support among Southern voters.
It was worthy of notice Monday
that at ‘the Harris headquarters the
telegraph messengers were bring tel
€grams In, while over in the Dorsey
offices the telegrams were all going
Out—hundreds of them, to Judge from
the string of boys hurrying In and
out. It was a natural Inference that
the Dorsey management was making
one last attempt to rally its forces
&round the Watson banner.
The morning paper, which has for
many weeks done everything possible
to turther the Dorsey campaign, even
by omitting to handicap him by its
editorial Indorsement, was brimming
Over Monday with last-minute de
fense, denials and repudiations, It
featured on ita front page, where none
but Dorsey might Intrude until now,
& lengthy appeal from Dr. Hardman
10 his former Supporters not to de
sert him. Dr. Hardman was franti
cally erying for everybody to stand
by. He sald he wasn no combine to

Harris Forces
Now Sure of
83 Counties
N forecasting the result of the
I Governor's race in the Sunday
papers, it was estimated by
Governor Harris’ campaign mana
gers that he would carry at least
79 counties, and possibly more.
Today (Monday) that forecast is
confidently increased to 83 coun
ties sure, and perhaps 90.
There is doubt in the Harris
managers’ minds of only one of the
six-vote counties; he will carry a
heavy majority of the four-vote
counties, and far more than a suf
ficiency of the two-vote counties
to nominate on the first ballot,
The Harris management says
there will be no convention fight.
Harris’ friends will organize the
convention, nominate the Governor
for a second term on the first bal
lot, and adjourn.
Even some of the so-called
“Watson counties,” regarded until
lately as Dorsey strongholds, be
cause of Mr. Watson's support of
the Atlanta man, will swing into
the Harris column Tuesday.
Fund Started to Buy
.
Poor Pupils Books
A movement for a public subscrip
tion for free schoolbooks for the chil
dren of poor parents was started in
Mayor Woodward's office Monday.
Andy R. King, chairman of the Police
Commission, Mayor Woodward and
Charles King gave $5 each and Gor
don Hurtel, Mayor Woodward's sec
retary, gave $1 and some second-hand
books.
Persons who have second-hand
books they would like to give also are
called on to respond.
The appropriation of SSOO for free
schoolbooks was killed by the Alder
manic hody because of lack of funds.

Denies Plan to Qust
Republican Chairman
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—Republican
National Chairman Wilcor today was in
Syracuse to meet Charles E. Hughes,
Republican Presidential candidate, and
therefore could not answer In his own
behalf, Washington insinuations that he
would be removed. There were others
to the rescue, however,
“Such talk is all rot,” sald 0. K.
Davis, high In the national committee.
Mr. Willcov will not be superseded as
national chalrman, nor even as cam
paign manager for the very good reason
that he was personal cholce of Mr,
Hughes.”

The Old World Wagging
Advertising In Its broadest sense is a power that makes the
wheels of progress revolve much faster than they otherwise
would, but the people’s advertising-—the Want Ads—fills all
the little grooves that display advertising skips.
Proof of this is found In the classified pages of The Geor
glan-American, which teem with human interest—the inter
est that arises from the buying and selling and renting and
letting of homes, pleading personals urging an absent father
to come home, searches for lost helrs—these and scores of
other lively transactions appear only among the Want Ads,
Read them even more carefully In the future than you have
in the past. You will be handsomely repald for a pleasant
five-minutes-a-day occupation.

BUCHAREST, Sept. 11.—The Rou
manian War Office today admitted
that Silistria, an important Danube
fortress, had been abandoned to the
Bulgarians. The Roumaniuns retreat
ed in good order after the fort had
been destroyed by heavy rsuns.
“Silistria,” says the cfficial state
ment, “was attacked with 12-inch and
16 1-2-inch guns, which destroyed the
forts in a few hours. The Rouma
nians retired in good order.
“Russian troops are marching to
the southward of Dobric, in order to
surround the enemy advancing on the
Danube.”
Great Battl
By SYDNEY B. CAVE,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
LONDON, Sept. 11.—Zurich dis
patches today confirmed earlier re
ports that a tremendous battle is de
veloping In that section of Roumania
lying' along the Black Sea. It is ap
parent from this news that the Rus
sian and Roumanian commanders had
carefully selected the field on which
they wished to meet the advancing
Bulgarian and Turkish forces.
The same dispatches brought the
significant news that the Russlans
had resumed their offensive in Buko
wina and were attacking the Aus
trians along their entire front. This
was taken as indicative that the Rou
manian advance into Transylvania
had been ro successful at every point
that the Russian army was secure
from attack on its extreme left flank,
and could proceed with vigor against
the forces defending the passes lead
ing to the plains of Hungary.

QUEBEC, Sept. 11.—More than a
score of workmen—possibly 30—were
crushed to death or drownea today
when the central span of the new $17,-
000,000 bridge being constructed
across the St. Lawrence River col
lapsed today.
The collapse occurred without
warning, and the men on the great
span” were unable to make any ef
‘fort to save their lives. The victims'
‘were crushed to death by the metal
that fell on them, or were carried with
the span into the deep waters of the
St. Lawrence, drowning before help
could reach them.
The span collapsed three hours
after the scows supporting it had
!been removed.,
Construction of the bridge, which
‘was to have been the largest canti
lever structure in the world, prob
‘ably will be long delayed. The span
'which fell was about one-eighth of a
‘mile long, and weighed more than
5,000 tons.
All river traffic in the vicinity had
‘been suspended while the glant span
‘wn being raised into its place, and
the accident was seen by thousands
‘of persons on board vessels near by.
' Scores of prominent persons had been
invited to see the span placed In po
sition. These included members of
‘the Canadian Parliament, leading
American engineers and members of
the Australian Parliament returning
from Europe. '
The eyes of all were fixed on the
span and the work being done to join
it when that section of the great
structure fell to the water, which is
about 200 feet below at that point. A
cry of horror went up as men were
:noen clinging to the structure, and
‘within a few minutes a small fleet of
:rencua boats was operating over the
peint where the span had disap
| peared.
About 40 men still alive were res
cued from the water, but they sald a
large number of their comrades had
"bu-n caught beneath the span, with
out any opportunity to escape,
It will pe many hours before the
exact number of dead can be ascer
)(ulnm!. as the entire pay roll contain-
Ing the names of the employees will
' have to be gone over.
| The bridge was originally planned
to save about 200 miles in the Journey
from Halifax to Western Canada. Its
‘("H\l“’\hliun WaASs h“'fln on the site
'nf the bridge which killed 70 persons
when It collapsed several years ago. ‘
