MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA.
i Atlanta, G:v., March 13.—The first
! day of May is the dace for tho presi-
I dential primary in' Georgia.
This was determined today bj^ the
state executive committee in a meeting
1 held at the capitol, after much deliber.
ation.
It is up to tiio various county execu
tive committees to arrange for the pri
mary. Friends of the various candi
dates for the nomination on the dem
ocratic ticket may defray the expenses
of the primary, or tiio primary may be
held coiucidently with the regular
county primary.
It is hoped by the executive com
mittee that this will b9 done in every
county in the state where it is practi
cable.
There was no politics in the meeting
of the state executive committee. No
one candidate was boosted, and, for the
matter, uouo discussed. The discussion
centered aronud the best date and means
for holding the primary.
It was the consensus of belief that
the various county executive commit
tees would now authorize an early pri
mary. so as to dispose of the county
election and the presidential preference
question at one and the same time.
While tlie primary will be held on
the first day of May, tiio bollots will
uot be consolidated in Atlanta until
May 10th, by the state executive com
mittee. t
The various county committees will
then havo from May 10th to May 32nd
to name their delegates to the state
convention.
The convention of the county dele
gates will be held in Atlanta oil May 30.
This convention will elect ! he delega
tion that will represent Giorgia at the
iemccre.tic national convention ta Bal
timore in June.
The candidate receiving the largest
number of votes will be the candidate
indorsed by the state delegation. The
carrying of counties by auy partic
ular candidate will not have auy effect
in the general result It is the candi
date who polls the most state-wide votes
that will receive Georgia’s vote in
the national convention. This plan,
aud that of requiring the appointment
of the county delegates by th3 county
executive committee, who will be gov
erned by the expressed choice of a plu
rality of tho voters iu the county were
decided to be the most satisfactory
plans.
The set of rules introduced by Hon.
Pleasant A. Stovall, of Savannah, was
adopted. They provided that the reg
istration list of 1913 be used, purged if
possible, also the name of presidential
candidates Clark, Harmon, Underwood
and Wilson be placed on tickets iu al
phabetical order. The state committee
will meet again on May 10th. to con
solidate the votes.

ATLANTA VISITED B!
TERRIFIC STORM
City Was Flooded by Hardest
Rain That lias Fallen in
Many Years.
Atlanta, March 15.—Atlanta was vis
ited by an unprecedented rain and a
terrific storm last night.
Three miles of tho Seaboard Air Line
tracks north of the city were flooded
and freight oars aud engines wore half
submerged in the water. The trolley
oars were stopped at midnight, unable
to passthrough tlie flooded streets.
An apartment house newly built in
the fashionable district slid into tho
street. The losses will reach $200,000 in
this city.
The rain-fall in twelve hours was five
aud a half inches. The street cars are
running this morning, but railroad traf
fic is crippled.
Alcohol and the Human System.
The eminent authority on mental dis
orders, Dr. A. D. Bush, lias graphically
described the effects of alcoholic poison
ing on the human system.
The effect has been generally noted
before, and so much has been said and
written on the subject that the pnblio
is fairly familiar with the evil.
Dr. Basil calls aitoution to one point
which should bo well remembered by
all who are addicted to tho use of this
injurious stimulant. He states that
man’s faculties are destroyed in exactly
the inverse order to that of their ac
quirement.
When we recollect how many years
we have devoted to fitting ourselves for
the combat with the world and how
quickly these years of work my be set
aside by a short term of dissipation, it
should be an msentive to all to refrain
from tho excessive use of alcohol.
We have known and realized all along
that alcohol was a stomach poison
which acts upon the tissues destruct
ively and produces more or les3 aente
and well marked derangements of the
nervous system, but many havo failed
to realize the rapidity of the system’s
decay.
Opium overwhelms the organisms
producing bodily and mental collapse,
strychnine exhausts the center of res
piration ; prussic acid paralyzes at once
but alcoliol insidiously attacks tho high
est functions of the brain aud mind,
and successfully, and as indicated by
Dr. Bush,, in the iuverse order over
throws all the intellectual faculties ac
quired by the evolutionary process, and
eventually reduces man to the level of
a brute aud finally to the gutter as a
mere animate being.
One day of heavy drinking, according
to Dr. Bush, is sufficient to overthrow
the cumulative work of many months
and resolves man into his primitive
capacity of simplo nervous response.
These are uot mere matters of conjec
ture. They are facts that can be easily
demonstrated and proven. If any one
doubts the sincerity of Dr. Bush's state
ment, let him oast his eye over tho flot
sam jetsam for human wrecks that are
arraigned in the city courts each morn
ing.
Among the first faculties a man loses
when he becomes intoxicated are bis
fine sense of self-control, his discrimi
nation and his sense of shame. Hence
he elevates his voice and talks advisedly,
disagreements of no moment irritate
him, he becomes volubla aud indulges
in highly colored rhetoric. In short,
alcohol so aVakens his judgment tiiat
lie can no longer distinguish the trivial
from the important.
Iu view of the facts that are well
known, it should bo a simple matter to
control the appetite for alcohol, but
men continue to ruin therifselves aud
will so long as alcohol can be obtained.

Dear Mr. Me:—
Your favor of the 23rd to hand, in reply will say ship
the Brick at once. I can buy the brick delivered for one
dollar less than you price yours, but they are not as good as
yours and I prefer using yours. Please put in a sample of
your pressed brick. I am figuring on a job that requires a
few pressed brick, and in case I get it will want them
in the next car.
Yours truly,
W. C. WILLIS.
I have many letters similar to this. — J. W. McM.
