h. 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.

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.

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

Montgomery, .Ala., Aug. 21.—Con-
freeman T. E. Burton, chairman of the
rivers und harbor* committee of the
house, has written Congressman Wiley
that lie will be here some time after
September 15 to make a trip down the
Alabama river with a party of con-
fressmen. Congressman Wiley Is en
deavoring to get an appropriation of
I50o,«oo for the Improvement of the

man Burton may assist him In securing
the desired amount.
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.

for Treasurer? If not, be
sure to vote for Culberson.

ROBBER BAND SWIPED
CAMPMEETING CHICKEN
There was a camp meeting down at
Bandy Spring Sunday. 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

“eetln* trustees were Informed.
"They got all thAt linen and silver
ware and the basket, too," said. Mr.
Wallace.
"Did you say there wiui 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 wore given this clew. Mr. Dunbar
looked up the big road and saw three
young men approaching. They wore
the satisfied expression that comes
with the consciousness of a good din
ner well disposed of. And the youth Jn
the middle wore new tan shoes, with
real wide strings in them, nnd a white
straw hat.
