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. •“ THEATERS At the Caiino, Stuart Barnes, who has aeveral bright and Instructive songs and thq best monologue heard here In many days, relieved the monotony In tl e pro gram at the Ponce DeLeon Casino •Monday night.

Weodward for Ceunty Trsasurfr, 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. Do you want Woodward for Treasurer? If not, be sure to vote for Culberson.

J. YEOMANS, Chairman. 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.

Scott, assistant adjutant gen eral, In Albany; Adjutant General 8. W. Harris in Carroll; Colonel Wesley Shropshire In Chattooga; Attorney General Hart In Greene; Railroad Com missioner Brown In Cobb; Secretary George Montgomery, of the railroad commission, In Cobb.

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 Clarence Flanigan and Earl and Cleave BOMB MATERIAL FOUND IN HOME By Private Lenied Wire. Marseilles, Aug. 21.—Clrcillo, the al leged plotter against the life of Prest dent Falllerea, has been identified as a member of an anarchist band.

( Augusta, Ga., Aug. 21.—Secretary W. Moore, of the local chamber of com merce, yesterday stated that he was In communication with no less than six large concerns that would doubt less locate large factories here. Ono of the concerns has asked for 500- horse power from the Augusta ennui, whicn will be furnished. The facto ries that ire figuring with the local chamber of commerce are not cotton mills, but different enterprises from any In Augusta, the kind of which will not be disclosed by Mr. Moore until he has landed them. FAIR DEAL WANTED BY LOGGING FIRM. H|Kvint to The Georgian. 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 term. klmo. Laths and Shingles Carloads and dray loads.
