A. L CURTIS FOR ALDERMAN;
A BUSINESS MAN'S RACE
Councilman A. L. Curtis seems to
have scored a signal victory in his
race for alderman from the First ward.
The indications on all sides point to
this solution of the question.
Dr. Curtis has been particularly for
tunate in drawing to his support a large
majority of the business men of the
city, and it Is due largely to his own
success as a business man that he
will get this suppor*:. The business
man wants a successful business man
to handle Important city matters. From
a business tandpofnt he has every
claim to preference. •“

ELECTRICAL BOMB
SHAKES CINCINATI
By Prlvstc Leased Wire.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 21.—The peo
ple of Cincinnati were startled yester
day by a most unusual freak of nature.
Out of the Intense glare of the noon
day sun, that almost made the streets
sizzle with the heat, came a blinding
belt of lightning, followed by a terrific
crash that caused everyone to stop
and see what had happened. The bolt
was followed by a few drops of ral
that descended from a cloudless sky.
The bolt fell Into the very heart of
the city, and several windows In the
government building on Fountain
Square were cracked by the concussion.
One explanation of the phenomena ad
vanced was that It was the explosion
of an electrical bomb compounded by
nature.

Instructions to nutmtgers and clerks for the

To the ('hflirmen nnd Members of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committees of Ueor*
jrln. and Managers of the Denux-nitle
Primary Election:
It has been uiy lot to ho chairman of the
atate Democratic executive committee dur
ing one of the hottest nnd most important
noUticu! campaigns, ever waged in Georgia.
Thin campaign is now drawing to a close,
ami It la my earnest desire that the pri
mary election to be held on Wednesday,
August 22, shall be fairly, honestly nnd Im
partially conducted, according to the rules
of the state Democratic executive commit
tee nnd the primary laws of Georgia.
Justice to All.
You are entrusted with a inywt Important
nnd delicate duty. As Georgians nnd true
lJeniwrafs, I ask you to use your best en
deavors to see that every one entitled to
vote tinder the rules and regulations Irt
this primary be permitted to vote. The
Deniocracy of Georgia is looking to you for
the fulfillment of the high duties of your
jmsltlon with Justice to sli nnd partiality to
none.
It Is of the greatest Importance to the
Democratic party nnd to the people of
Georgia that this primary in* fairly and
honestly conducted, and Mist nil votes le
gally east In* fairly and honestly counted,
giving to no candidate any undue advantage
over The others.
When this is done there can be no cause

MEN, INLE TTERS, TELL THA W
HE OUGHT TO DIE IN CHAIR
By Private Leased Wire.
New .York, Aug. 21.—On the wall of
his cell In the Tombs, Harry K. Thaw
has a small calendar whereon he cross-
es off, with heavy marks, each day that
Is spent.
He Is, It Is paid, counting the .hours,
each of which as It passes brings him
nearer to that fateful day when he la to
be placed on trial charged with the
murder of Stanford White, whom he
shot down during a performance at the
Madison Square Roof Garden.
Frugal fare and the quiet life in pris
on have had a beneficial effect upon
Thaw, and today he Is a much more
hale and robust man than he was on
the day of the tragedy.
Ills life at the Tombs is by no means
an Isolated one. He Is visited now and
then by his mother, occasionally also
by his sister, Mrs. George Carnegie, and
now and then at rare intervals by his
brother, Joslah.
And, dally, rftln or shine, there comes
to cheer him, his beautiful wlfft, Mrs.
Evelyn Nesblt Thaw, she for love of
whom he committed the deed which has
brought him face to face with the elec
trie chair.
Each day, too, she brings him In
basket some dainties which she know
he likes, fowl or fruit or pastry. Hours
before his wife arrives in the morning.
Thaw reads the papers, or letters—
sometimes as many as 50—which are
sent to him from perfect strangers.
These letters often try his patience
not a little, some being from persons
who have constituted themselves judge
jury and executioner and Inform him
that If they had their way he would
go to the electric chair without ai
much as a trial. Other letters are con
soling. These are mainly from young
women, while the other sort are from
men. Still others contain advice “sure
to bring freedom.” All letters are turn
ed over by Thaw to his counsel, Clif
ford W. Hart ridge.
What \ylth calisthenics In his cell nnd
such other exercise as he gets by walk
Ing In the prison yard, Dr. Frank Me
Gulre has said that there Is scant dam
ger that Thaw will need any medicine
or even tonics. He has grown to hr
one of the most robust of all the prls
oners.
CAPITOL OFFICIALS

ROBBER BAND SWIPED
CAMPMEETING CHICKEN
There was a camp meeting down at
Sandy Spring Sunday. Sandy Spring
Is out Oak Grove way, about 12 miles
from town, and It Is famous for long
sermons, good singing and Its basket
dinners. Sandy Spring had all three
Sunday, but W. D. Wallace, a farmer,
who lives near Chamblee, went hun
gry.
Mr. Wallace brought two ladies of
his family to the meeting and the three
found a seat well up toward the amen
corner. The buggy* was hitched under
a tree Around a curve In the road and
out of sight.
Mr. Wallace helped sing a hymn or
two and then settled down on the hard
bench to listen to a regular old-fash
ioned camp meeting sermon and brush
away gnats and horseflies. His ears
caught the words of the preacher, but
his mind dwelt on something else. He
was thinking of what was tucked away
beneath a white linen cloth in a big
basket under the buggy seat.
“Yellow-legged chicken and a dish of
gravy, white roils and corn muffins,
sweet pickles, hard-boiled eggs and
pie! Lemon pie, custard pie, pumpkin
ile, apple, peach; cake of all sorts!
faybe there’s a little freezer of ice
cream. My folks know how to put up
a dinner!’* Mr. Wallace thought of
that dinner, and the more he thought
the hungrier he grew. When the ser
mon was over he made haste to move
toward the buggy, after inviting a
friend or two to share the best dinner
on the ground*.
Robber Band Appears.
But there were those at the camp
meeting who missed the sermon and
strolled among the watting vehicles
outside. Among the strollers

Jackson. Miss., Aug. 21.—A complaint
ha* been tiled with the state railroad
commission by \V. L. Toney, of Green
ville, which states that he recently pur
chased 140,000 worth of machinery, In.
tending to engage in the business of
loading logs for shipment, and that
another log loader company, with
headquarters In b.emphls, has a mo
nopoly of tha business, and that he Is
being discriminated against by the rail
road.
Everybody admits the
race for Treasurer is be
tween Culberson and Wood
ward. Who do you want to
win?
Dam.on, three Atlanta youngsters, not
old enough to vote.
Walking around is hungry work. The
sun had climbed high when one of the
boys remarked that It was pretty near
dinner time.
"Wonder If any of these folks will
ask us to eat?" said another.
Just then the three passed the Wal
lace buggy. Young Flanigan stoppet
and sniffed the atmosphere.
"I smell fried chicken,” he said.
“There’s a country ham In that bas
ket If my nose tells the truth,” said the
elder Dameon.
From the meeting drifted the strains
of the long meter doxology. What was
to be done must be done quickly. The
boys hesitated no longer, but disap
peared with the busket ami sought a
shady corner beyond the hill.
When Mr. Wallace and his pnrty ar
rived and found the buggy empty there
were some hungry faces. The camp
meeting trustees were Informed.
"They got nil that linen and silver
ware and the basket, too,” said Mr.
Wallace.
"Did you say there was chicken In
that dinner?” asked the trustees. "We
must find the robbers.”
The daylight robbery had been
watched by a young lady who gave a
description of the outlaw band.
"One of them wore new tan shoes,
with real wide strings In them, and a
white straw hat," she exclaimed.
Satisfaction ths Clew,
County Policemen Maddox and Dun
bar were given this clew. Mr. Dunbar
looked up the big road and saw three
young men npproachlng. They wore
the satisfied expression that comes
with the eonsclousness of a good din
ner well disposed of. And the youth In
the middle wore new tan shoes, with
real wide strings In them, and a white
straw hat.
Sunday night Clarence Flanigan slept
In the Towpr. Whether the memory
of his crime sat as heavily upon his
conscience ns the various kinds of pie
nnd cake lay upon a harder worked
portion of his nnntomy he did not say
.Monday morning. The Dameon boys
were released on bond, but all three are
charged with larceny and will appear
before the criminal court at Its next
