SUNDAY. APRIL 5. 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. mother he has dowered with secret corruption and insidious pain.

I can’t see why. ’Tis the mission of the stage, says the greatest man who ever wrote for the stage, * to hold as ’twere the mirror up to nature.’ This Brieux May does precisely that thing. It tells society that the things it refuses :o discuss are the very things, which, because of the silence kept about them, are undermining society, not only physi cally, but morally. “Damaged Goods" will he seen at the Grand Tuesday, April 28th. ROUES CHARGE SUFFRAGETTES Rough Treatment For Women at Unionist Demonstration. Arrest “Gen'l” Mrs. Drum mond. London.- Suffragettes created a di version duving the Unionist demonstra- I'on in Hyd* Park today and “General’* Mir. Flora Drummond and the Misses Kisers and Virtue were arrested.

Meetings were addressed by peers and members of parliament. The speak ers fiercely denounced any attempt “to 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 liament of the United Kingdom.” Demands were expressed that the gov ernment should immediately submit “this ffrave issue” to the people.

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." .. Chattanooga Beat Cleveland.
