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.

Roberts & Tucker, Statham, Ga. Sparta, Ga. Milledgeville Hardware Co Agents for Baldwin Co, 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. —Commercial Appeal.
