L CURTIS FOR ALDERMAN; A BUSINESS MAN'S RACE Councilman A. L. Curtin seems to have scored a signal victory In his race for alderman from the First ward. The indications <fn 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 ns a business man thnt he will get this support. The business man wants a successful business man to handle Important city matters. From a business tandpolnt he has every claim to preference. ••• YEOMANS HAS ISSUED FINAL INSTRUCTIONS From his home In Dawson, Chairman M. J. Yeomans has issued the following filial Instructions to managers and clerks for the state Democratic primary Wednesday: To the Chairmen and Merntters of the Dom ocratlc Executive Committees of Geor gia. and Managers of the Democratic Primary Flection: It has Im»cii my lot to l*c chairman of the state Democratic executive committee dur ing one of the hottest and most important political camiuilgns vfer waged in Georgia. This campaign Is now drawing to.a close, and it la my earnest desire that the pri mnry election te In* held on Wednesday, August 22, shall lie fairly, honestly and Inc partially conducted, according to the rules of the state Democratic executive commit tee and the primary laws of Georgia. Justice to All. You are entrusted with n most Important and delicate duty. As Georgians and true Democrats, I ask you to use your licst en deavors to see that every one entitled to vote under the rules and regulations In this primary lie (icrmltted to vote. The jiositlon with Justice to art ami partiality to none. It is of the greatest Importance to the Democratic party and to the people of Georgia that this primary lie fairly ami honestly conducted, and tlint all votes le gally east In* fairly and honestly counted, giving to no candidate auy undue advantage rer the others. When tHs Is done there can be no cause for a contest, the will of the people will he registered* and. whatever the result, the great Democratic party of Georgia will abide the result. So candidate for office should desire more, and no candidate for office deserves more. No candidate who seeks election -l»y unfair nnd unjust means Is entitled to Ih» nominated. A fair nnd honest primary under the rules and regu lations Is what the Democrats of Georgia want. This they are entitled to. Naming Delegates, The rules of the state Democratic execu tive committee provide thnt the chuiruiuu of the Democratic executive committee each county shall appoint as delegates fr< such couuty to the state convention such delegates as the candidate for governor titled to the vote of such couuty shall desig nate in writing. It will lie seen from this that the selection of clolounton to flic state convention Is fixed absolutely m the ctiudl dates for governor. As no candidate for governor can know in advance whnt county ho will carry, will lie pracf *“ to the state the 23-1 of AugtiL.. .... —, , mary. The various Democratic chairmen the several counties shall give to the si cessful candidate for governor, who lias the right to api>oli)t delegates, a reasonable time In which to make that appointment, This should Ih» done, however, ns soon as possible after the primary, and when done I'request that. In addition to giving certifi cates to the duly appointed delegates the various county chairmen certify such ap pointments to me. ho that I may rer the same to the state convention and t so far as possible expedite Its organisation. M. J. YHOMANS, Chairman pri; MEN, IN LETTERS, TELL THA W HE OUGHT TO DIE IN CHAIR At th* Casino. Stuart Barnes, who has several bright and Instructive sons* and the best monologue heard here In man? da)'*, relieved the mcnotony In tl e pro gram at the Ponce DeLeon Casino Monday night. Holcomb, Curtis and Company, In "The New Teacher," fur nished uproarious amusement to lovers of the "old dcestrlck schule" and such forms of entertainment. But the of fering, as a whole, was dull and unln- ,firing. But Stuart Barnes Is worth hear ing. He doesn’t try to sing very much, but his songs are really clever. He doses with a monologue which Is witty, clean and modern, a distinct relief from the usual moth-eaten half hour of hot air furnished the public under that name. Adams and Drew pull oft an alleged German dialect stunt which Is -uppos- e,i to deal with automobiles though the German member talks as If hl*‘ car bureter Isn’t carbureter and only oe. caslonal words of real language ever reach the audience. Bessie Phillips sings three songs Marvelous Merrill, who does bicycle stunts; Is Interesting principally for his capacity for falling down wffien he tries hardest to stay up. He pleased the audience by risking his neck In turning a somersault on a bicycle af ter half an hour's work rigging up a complicated apparatus. The cameragraph shows "The Moon shiner,” an Interesting set of scenes which close with everybody dead. Tho first night audience was it big one and the theater was cool and comfortable In spite of the temperature up ’.own. Vote fsr J. G. Weodward for County Treasurer. By Private Leated .Wire. New York, Aug. 21.—Ofi the wall of hla 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 said, counting the hours, each of which as It passes brings him nearer to that fateful day when he Is 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 hnle and robust man than he was on the day of the tragedy. His life at the Tombs Is by no means an Isolated one. He is visited now and then by hta mother, occasionally also by his sister, Mrs. George Carnegie, and now and then at rare Intervals by his brother, Joslah. . And, dally, rain or shine, there comes to cheer him, his beautiful wife, 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 ns 60—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 ns 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, ford W. Hart ridge. What with calisthenics In his cell and such other exercise as he gets by walk ing In the prison yard, Dr. Frank Mc Guire has snld that there Is scant dan ger that Thaw will need any medicine or even tonics. He has grown to be one of the most robust of all the pris oners. h ITALIAN DIPLOMAT CLOSE TO DEATH By Private leased Wire. Home, Italy, Aug. 21.—M.

ELECTRICAL BOMB SHAKES CINCINATI By Private I .eased 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 slxzle with the heat, came a blinding bolt 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 rain 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?

Sandy Spring Is out Oak Grove way, about 12 miles from town, and It la famous for long sermons, good singing and Its basket dinners. Sandy Spring had all three Sunday, but W. D. Wallace, a farmer, who Uvea near Chamblee, went hun gry. Mr. Wallaco brought two ladles 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 elng a hymn or two and then ecttled down on the hard bench to listen to a regular old-fash ioned camp meeting sermon and brush away gnats and horseflies. Ills ears caught the word* 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 rolls and corn muffins, sweet pickles, hard-boiled eggs nnd pie! Lemon pfe, custard pie, pumpkin )le, apple, peach; cake of all sorts! Maybe there's a little freezer of ice cream. My folks know how to put up u dinner!” Mr. Wallace thought of that dinner, and the more he thought the hungrier he grow. 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 grounds. Robber Band Appears. But there were those at the camp meeting who missed the sermon and etrolled among the waiting vehicles outside. Among the strollers were Clarence Flanigan nnd Earl and Cleave Dameon, 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 cat?" said another. Just then the three passed the Wal lace buggy. Young Flanigan stopped and sniffed the atmosphere. ”1 smell fried chicken," he said. "There’s a country ham In .that has 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 basket and sought a shady corner beyond the hill. When Mr. Wallace anil his party ar rived and found the buggy empty there were some hungry faces. T meeting truetces were Informed BOMB MATERIAL FOUND IN HOME By I’rlrnte Leased Win*.
