About Politics and Politicians
The political arena, locally, which
has been about iih quiet uh a country
churchyartl, la bound to liven up aonu'
within the next few week*
Ai thl* stnge of the game, there
appear* to be conteata from county
commissioners' positions, but for no
other county office*. The term* of
Messrs. B. H. Nixon, E. F. Verdery
mid A. H. Kook* will expire on next
January, anil Mr. Verdery haß an
nounced thnt he will not offer to suc
ceed Mr. Nixon and Mr.
Kooks -Mr candidates to succeed
themselvVs. For the positions now
held by Messrs. Nixon and Verdery—
they are from the city—there are three
candidates, Mr. Nixon himself being
»ue and Messrs, H. R. Fund and M
C. B. Motley, the others. Strange to
relate, the position which pays the
least is the one over which there will
probably be a contest. The word
probably may be changed to certainly,
although there have been movements
on foot to get one of the candidates
out o fthe rifce. In case this plan
succeeds there will be no primary
held anS the committee will declare
the unopposed candidates the nomi
nees o fthe primary.
It seems that Deputy Sheriff J. T.
Plunkett will be elected without oppo
sition. After the retirement of Mr.
Guy Sturgis, bnillff of the city court,
the field was left open and it is not
believed that any one else will an
nounce. Plunkett Is very popular,
and has a great many friends. It is
considered certain by his friends that
any opposition would be futile.
It Is also conceded that the other
county officers to be chosen will not
be opposed. The primary will be held
on May 15th and any one who should
announce would have but little time
in which to conduct a campaign.
It was admitted by Messrs. Garling
ton, Olive and Picquet—the Gop—
that they will stand for re-election
to the legislature. However, they
will not have to worry for a consed-
At The Grand
“TRAFFIC IN SOULS.”
At the great Universal Woman's
Conference, recently held In Buda
pest, Hungary’, were women from the
remotest corners of the globe, met to
devise means for the betterment of
their sex. The one absorbing topic
that made equal suffrage, reform of
divorce laws, etc., minor matters was
the realization of the world-wide traf
fic in white slaves and the imminent
need of some widely concerted action
for its suppression Delegates from
Iceland and from the far Indies, earn
est and devoted women, wept as re
ports on this vile industry were read
in conin ittee America was the first
nation to lead a world-wide war. The
passing of the Mann Act was a step in
the rivht direction. Another import
ant move was the report of the Rocke
feller Investigating Committee. It re
mained for the camera, with its all
seeing eye and unimpeachable veracity
to bring home to an unrealizing pub
lic the enormity of this international
traffic in vice. In "Traffic in Souls"
the citizens at large see for the first
time the workings of this villianous
conspiracy visualized and told with all
the
structed drama. Every assistance was
given to the promoters of this great
enter; rise by the leading officials of
every depart:' ent of civil life in New
York, who at once realized its great
moral significance. It marks a new
departure, the educational value of
which ce n hardly be overestimated.
“Traffic in Souls" comes to the
Grand for three days, April 16-17-18,
with daily matinees.
“ADELE.”
Bright lines, tuneful music, charm
ingly sung, pretty girls and gorgeous
dresses provide a combination that go
a long way i > u ake “Adele” th° mus
ical comedy . hu h comes to the Gran 1
Wednesdrr. A’Til 22nd, an entertain
ment werth while. Its advent in this
city is 1 awed by the indorsements of
every critic ;n the city of New York,
who declare "this production of the
the New Era Producing Company,
.losefl) P. Eickerton, managing direc
tor. tfie unqualified hit of the season
"Adele" is in three acts and each one
seems to outdo its predecessor In
handsome settin~s. The book is Paul
Herve's and the music by Jean
Briquet, who gave to the American
public that well known success “Al
ina.” It was translated and prepared
for the American stage by Adolph
Phillips and Edward A. Paulton.
The story of this comedy is based
on the very clastic divorce laws of
France. At the beginning Adele is
found to be the daughter of a manu
facturer of canned goods, desperately
in love with Robert, son of her father's
business rival. Parental objections
based on the 1 usiness rivalry beset the
two young lovers.
Maday de Neuville, head of a school
that Adele attended, plans to have her
pupil marry Baron de Chantilly with
whom she is actually in love. She
sees in the inarriuse and immediate
div orce a way out of the trouble, for
under the law | arental objection car
ries no weight if the offspring once
weds. Her plan carries out. but not
as she wishe- for the Baron finds soon
after the wedding ceremony that he is
love with Adele and that he wdll not
he divrr-ed. This situation furnishes
a ne ' series of complications which
dcvel i s an unlimited amount of nu
merous scenes and creates a farce
comedv i right and snappy, that could
stand alone without the aid of a sin
gle bar of music.
The cast includes Carolyn Thlmson.
Jin plays the title role, Annette
’Thick who for three years was prima
nonu of the New Y’ork Hippodrome.
John Park, leading baritone for the
past ten years with the biggest musi
cal organizations In this country,
George O’Donnell, a grand opera basso
with Eurepean and American reputa
tion. Alfred Kappeler, who scored a
treu endous hit in the "Waltz Dream"
and the "Arcadians.” Ralph Nairn,
leading comedian with the Gaiety
Theatre In London musical companies
and r. score ol others, equally promi
nent
“DAMAGED GOODS.”
If l ot threats of hell nor hopes of
P".f!dl»e will keep men from vice and
v ! u jn this material age, then the only
(hit that will do the work is to
-how them plainly that the conse
cun • : of their misconduct will de
stroy their loveliest paradise and
transform it into a hell more hor
r c dour than Dante’s." Thus writes
William Marion Reedy, the noted edi
tor and critic of Bt. Louis, who has
been ca'led by some the George Bern
ard Shaw of the West. Mr. Reedv
continues: “Show him the wife and
erable time yet, because the state
primary comes off on the 1 !*th of Au
gust and candidates for all etate of
fices will he voted on then.
Right here It may be stated that
In referring to the three representa
tives as ahe ''Gop" did not carry with
It any significance 'on the writer *
part, except that the first letters of
their names spell "Gop.”' The "Oop"
that Is familiar to most newspaper
readers has never convalesced from
the crushing blow which the demo
crats administered when Teddy mid
Taft opposed Wilson.
In addition to Messrs. Garllngton,
Olive and Picquet It Is stated that
Mr. Albert Ingram may run. while
Mr. J. L. Cartledge, former council
man from the FlTth Ward, Is already
ln the race. Rumor connects the name
of several prominent young attorneys
with the legislative race but no of
ficial announcements have been made.
It Is understood that the farmers
from In the neighborhood of Rocks
Church will meet In Augusta next
Saturday to nominate a farmer candi
date for the legislature.
There are no new developments in
the congressional situation. Messrs.
Jos. S. Reynolds, A. W. Evans. B. T
Rawlings and Carl Vinson are the
only candidates who have actually
made their formal announcements.
All of these candidates are losing no
time and each one is busy meeting
the voters of the district.
The announcement that Governor
Slaton would offer for the unexplred
term of the late Senator Bacon Is not
unexpected This Is taken to mean
that Senator Hoke Smith will probably
be unoprosed.
The entry of Governor Slaton will
make a three-cornered fight with
Congressman Hardwick and Attorney
General Felder the other aspirants,
which will doubtless be tremendously
interesting.
Although politics in Augusta, Rich
mond County and Georgia have been
slow in warming up, there will be
plenty of heat ahead.

London.- Suffragettes created a di

Kisers and Virtue were arrested.
The women, 1,000 strong, marched

“The rally" of Unionists to protest
against any coercion of Ulster brought
an enormous concourse of people to the
park. Meetings were addressed by peers
and members of parliament. The speak

use the army and navy to drive out by
force of arms our fellow subjects in Ire
land from their full heritage In the par

Demands were expressed that the gov

LADY BATHURST.
London In the vigorous war among
at; ong the three leading morning
newspapers, the Morning Post, The
TiineH and The Telegraph, for popu
larity, which led to the reduction of
the price of each to one penny on
March 16, Lady Bathurst, owner of the
Morning Post has brought the atten
tion of the whole newspaper world to
her whole journalistic career.
One gallant admirer has written of
her:
"She Is one of the most Influential
women In England. She uses her
power well, on thw Whole. The gal
lant knights of the pen Who dally do
her bidding find her wlaC counsel of
great comfort and assistance. Her In
timate knowledge of home and foreign
policies, of naval and military affairs,
and rtf the complications of the land
question is a revelation in female ca
pacity."
Lady Bathurst personally con
trols the Post and writes many of its
editorials.
FOR REGULATION
COTTON TRADING
Washington.—The house agriculture
committee will proceed with public
hearings beginning April 22 on var
ious hills relating to cotton and grain
standardization and futures transac
tions, regardless of the action of the
New York Cotton Exchange in agree
ing to change its form of contract so
that hereafter it will be based on gov
ernment types of grades and settled
on commercial rather than fixed dif
ferences. Chairman I .ever of the com
mittee, said today sentiment was crys
tallizing in favor of his bill looking to
reform of the exchange operations
and that every step possible would
tie taken “to hasten legislation which
will do the work of regulating the ex
changes vigorously and effectively in
the interest of the people.
”1 am gratified," he said, to see the
reform taking place in the contract
of the New York Cotton Exchange; I
recall that several years ago Repre
sentative Scott of Kansas, then chair
man of this committee, told the cot
ton exchange at New York tha. they
should clean up their own house, but
until quite recently they, with stub
born tenacity, have refused to do so.
"These efforts to reform upon the
part of the New York cotton exchange
come too late to prevent legislation
which will make certain the protec
tion of the people against the abuses
which so long have existed in the
operation of the exchange. It is en
tirely safe to predict that legislation,
I trust of a regulatory kind, will be
enacted during this session of con
congress."
