LEADING PAPER OF NORTH GEORGIA. BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN PIEDMONT SECTION. BRIAN’S VISIT CAUSED DEMDCRAIS TO RALLY Atlanta, Feb. 15 —The visit of William Jennings Bryan to Atlanta yesterday was made the occasion for an informal rally of Georgia demo crats in terested in national politics, and for a considerable discussion among them of the outlook for the next presidential election. Ma Bryan’t optimism found its re flection in the views of Governor elect Hoke Smith, Former Governor Northern, Governor Joseph M. Brown and other promient figures of Geor gia whom he met. Mr. Bryan arrived yesterday af ternoon and was escorted directly to the Piedmont hotel, where he rested for an hour and then attended a ban quet given in his honor by the Young Men’s Democratic league, of Atlan ta. Mr. Bryan, expressing himself as strongly in favor of the reciproci bill, said: “One of the advantages of the passage of the bill from a dem ocratic standpoint, is that it will con vince the farmers that tariff on agri cultural products has been used for the purpose of deluding the farmer rather than for the purpose of help ing him.” TO LAY SIDE TRACK AT WATER WORKS *«• Civil Engineer E. Mead, of the N. CC.C & St. L. railway, was in the city today looking after the location of the side track near Mt. Rachel. He visited the scene with Engineer Camp, Mayor Trammell and others. It is likely that the work will commence within the next few days in laying the track so it can be used when the material for the work begins to arrive. CHLOROFORMED HIMSELF; CAME NEAR DYING Atlanta, Feb. 15 —J. H. Smith, an employee of the Georgia Railway & Electric company was found lying chloroformed and senseless on the floor of a store-house in the Manufac turing Physician’s Supply company plant here yesterday, where he had been testing a motor. He had acci dentally knocked a bottle from a shelf smashed it, and had immediately suc cumbed to the fumes. He was rushed to the Grady hospital where only the most heroic treatment brought him back to life. Had he remained alone in the room ten minutes longer he would have been a dead man. He Was Guilty. Mrs. Henry Lehr at a luncheon in Newport ridiculed the assertion of a French novelist that men objected to cigarette smoking women because their sense of smell is so exceedingly delicate and keen, says the Philadel phia Record. “If men’s sense of smell were re ally so extraordinary,” said Mrs. Lehr, “he couldn’t stand his rooms and clothes and mustache all satur ated with stale tobacco and whiskey fumes. “Man’s keen sense of smell! .And yet how well the average man is hit off by the story of the tramp arrest ed for vagrancy. As this man stood up in the dock the magistrate said to him: “ ‘Welt my man, what is the charge against you?’ “ ‘Fragrancy, your honor,’ the tramp replied.” GEORGIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16. 1911.

An uncommonly dirty baby was car ried to the out-patient department of a New York hospital by a mother whose appearance showed the same disregard for cleanliness, says the New York Times. The physician on duty closely scrutinized the baby in her arms. “It seems to be suffering from hy dropathic hydrophia,” he said dryly. “Oh, doctor,” said the mother, “is it as bad as that? Isn’t that a dread ful thing for such a mite? What shall I do?” “Wash its face,” recommended the doctor, “the disease will come off with the dirt.” “Wash its face!” repeated the indignant mother, “Wash its face, indeed! What next I’d like to know” “Wash your own,” returned the physician, imperturbably. Mrs. Finley’s Father Dead. Mrs. S. A.

Among the most interesting book ings of the dramatic season is that of Thomas Dixon’s newest Southern drama, “The Sins of the Father,” which will be played at the opera house on Thursday night, Feb. 16. Not only does “The Sins of the Father” tell a vital and moving story, but the acting should prove a dramatic treat. It is a thoroughly metropoli tan production, and the players have been chosen to suit the exacting tastes of the South and to meet the require ments of audiences in New York City, whither the play will be taken after a short Southern tour. William Owen, the noted star of many classical productions, will ap pear as Major Daniel Norton, a gal lant Confederate veteran. As Major Norton he has a role of tremedous strength, a father compelled to choose between death and dishonor to his child. Miss Ruth Fielding, a young fa vorite of New York audiences, will play the Major’s ward, Helen, whose life is darkened by the suspicion of a taint of negro blood in her veins. Already this actress has achieved a number of triumphs in deeply pathetic and emotional parts. Her sweetness, sincerity and the tears in her voice have recalled to the critics the nob lest characterizations of Margaret Angelin. The role of the boy lover opposite Miss Fielding will be assum ed by Wilbur Mason. Miss Cecilia Clay, a player well-known to South ern audiences, will appear in “The Sins of the Father” as the slv and TRAIN ROBBERY STORY IS CORROBORATED Atlanta, Feb. 15 —That train rob bers who operated without noise or gunplay, stole two mail pouches with papers valued at a cool half million dollars, at or near Thalman, Ga., close to Brunswick, a very short time ago, is corroborated by postoffice inspec tors in Atlanta. It is probably the biggest railway mail theft in the his tory of Georgia since the civil war. The pouches were from Brunswick, destined for the north, and were stol en on the night of January 19th or January 21st. When stolen the pouches were being transferred from the A. B. & A. road to the Seaboard. Thalman, where the theft is sup posed to have occurred, is a small railroad crossing, where there are only five or six dwelling houses. A good deal of the bank paper which made up the sum will be useless to the thieves, as payment on it is impossible without the proper endorsements, which could not be forged. Let a man tell his wife he neglects her out of sentiment and she will be lieve him. Anyway, a man’s conceit doesn’t keep him awake of nights. It’s a long road that has no toll gate. B. B. BO WEN’S NAME FORGEDJO CHECK A check for $21.00 has turned up at one of the local banks to which the name of B. R. Bowen has been forged. The check is drawn payable to one John Bayless and was cashed some time ago in Cartersville. It went through the Cartersville and Atlanta banks and finally reached Dalton, where it was discovered Mr. Bowen did not sign it. It is not known who the offender is. BOLD THIEF ROBS SAFE IN BROAD DAY LIGHT Atlanta, Feb. 17 —The safe in the offices of the Randall Coal, Coke & Wood company, was looted in broad daylight yesterday afternoon about 1 o’clock while the manager was standing, with his back turned, within forty yards of the scene. The big door of the safe was open, and the cash drawer was smashed open. The thief got between S9O and SIOO in cash and some cheeks which can eas ily be protected. subtle oetaroon, Cleo, a type of what over-education does for the negro race Iler mastery of Major Norton s household, and his struggle to free himself from her coils, lead up to several of the most striking scenes in the play. Among the other characters and Minerva are sure to win the chief laughter and applause. The play wright is said to have excellel him self in the droll darkey comedy that centers around them and ’tis good news to lovers of real acting as dis tinguished from horseplay and buffon erv that these characters are to be played by the unctuous Earl Lee and the inimitable Agnes Earl. Every one knows about them as the formost blackface comedians in the country. With such a cast and with the fine scenic productions provided by Man ager George H. Brennan, “The Sins of the Father,” will display Thomas Dixon’s marvelous skill as a drama tist to the best advantage. ONE DOLLAR A YEA^ k BIG MEETING " dT SCHEDULED FORB /isHlt CORN CLUB BOYS. DR.
