Since Mr. T. I. Hickman, of this city, is president of the American Cotton Manufacturers’ Association, it stands to reason that. Augusta lias an excellent chance to get the next con vention. Mr. Hickman was only a short while ago raised from the posi tion of ricc-president to that of presi dent of one of the largest and most important associations in the country. Should the next meeting of the asso ciation be held in this city "it will mean that, there will be hundreds of the country’s biggest cotton manufac- HOKE SMITH Oil StSSI[JUDGE Georgia Senator Gives History of Terrell Appointment. No Southern Democrat Voted For Him. Washington,—The history of the confirmation of the negro Robert N. Terrell, says a special to the Atlanta Journal, as a judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia, was s*nt to the senate today by Senator Hoke Smith. He quoted from the Con gressional Record, showing that the negro, Terrell was confirmed on April 24, and that on May he (Senator Smith) asked unanimous consent that his vote on the confirmation of Terrell he made public. "On June 13,’’ said the senator, "the record shows that unanimous consent was given to publish the vote of al senators with reference to the con firmation of Robert X. Terrell.” The senator had the clerk read this vote into the record a second time. This shows that the negro was con firmed by a vote of 39 to 24, and that not a southern democrat was among those who voted to confirm. It shows that Senator Hoke Smith as well as Senators Mark Smith, of Arizona, and E. D. Smith, of South Carolina, voted against the Continuing, Senator Smithxlaid: “Of course we understand that all nominations are considered in execu tive sessions, and that even the votes of senators are not made public and do not appear in the congressional re cord, except by unanimous consent. I feel, however, that I am justified, in view of the unanimous consent given, to add that all senators who were present are aware of the fact that during the two and one-half months the nomination of Terrell was before the senate. I, on every oportunity, pro tested against his confirma.tion and spoke frequently at length against his confirmation.” The senators who oposed his con firmation held up the nomination for nearly two and a half months. In the meantime many other nominations were awaiting action. Terrell's con firmation could not have been held up longer except by a filibuster. This would have stopped the other nomina tions and have interfered seriously with the entire business of the sen ate “The people whom Terrell was to serve did not protest against his con firmation The senators opposing his confirmation under the circumstances did not consider the confirmation of Terrell of sufficient Importance to stop the work of the senate with a fil ibuster.” TWO RUSSIAN AIRMEN KILLED. Otchakov, Russia —Two more Rus sian army aviators, Captain Jessipow and his mechanic, were killed today when their aeroplane collapsed during a flight.

Left Today. Mr. Jackson left the city today for New York and will go from there to Asheville. Mr. Hickman will, of course, be present at the meeting of the board of governors, too. The in vitation to meet at Augusta next year will he extended by Mr. Jackson for the M. & M. If botli conventions are secured it is proposed to have the machinery ex hibit in the fair grounds and the ses sions of the cotton manufacturers in tile Lake View Casino. This would he of considerable convenience to those attending either convention and since the two meetings are so closely related the plan is t radically certain to meet with favor.

Atlanta. —Members of the state sen ate were startled Monday by the as sertion from Senator Irwin of the thirty-fourth that the lower house should he abolished and the senate allowed to enact all legislation alone. The remark of Senator Irwin were made during debate on the bill of Sen ator Gliff of the fourth, providing for the general assembly to change its ses sions and meet hi-annually instead of once a year. The house membership was so big as to he unwieldy, lie said, and for that reason was several weeks in getting under way.

A large number of local house and senate bills were introduced, read and passed in tlie senate Monday at an unevenaful, routine session. Senator Oliff of tile fourth intro duced a Dill to change the present laws so as to permit freight trains to load and unload on Sundays. Speaking for hist, bill to make the legislature meet only once in two years, Senator Oliff said the legislature at present did little or no work in tlieir present yearly sessions of 50 days. Senator Irwin, of the thirty-fourth spoke against the bill. He said the present yearly meetings are necessary. He said also that the state ought to pay each legislator SSOO a year for his work. "I am kind of in favor of abolish ing the house. With the house abol ished the senate mignt then get down to business and accomplish more work,” said Senator Irwin. He said it took such an unwieldy body as the lower house at least 30 days to get into motion. Senator R. Randolph Anderson stepped down from the president's chair and spoke most strongly for this hill. A plank ia Senator Anderson’s plat form for governor advocates biennial sessions. Other senators spoke for and against the bill, suggesting many modifica tions and changes. Senator Allen of the twentieth said Georgia has enough laws now to last her for the next half century. —“This country and this state —the nation —is today legislated to death, said Senator Allen .speaking most strongly for the hill. "As sure as you meet, you are going to do business, a great many legis lators think they have not done their business unless they introduce a whole raft of bills,” Senator Allen said. Without voting on the measure, the senate adjourned at 12:45 o'clock. HI IDLERS MID PREVENI BURGLARIES Police Are Enforcing Ordinance Regarding Persons Being on the Street After Ten P. M.

Prince Albert advertising has long been a feature of the country’s maga zines and it is so original and ap pealingly human in both text and il lustration that people everywhere iol- , low it with keenest interest. You read it (in the language of Prince Albert) “for what ails you” and it will help you to "hear the bees buzz [ and tile little birds sing early in the i a. m.” The language is so happily i “HUNCH” natural and so cheerful that to read one advertisement makes you feel you want to read more and more, just as you anxiously await new chapters of a continued story. There’s it lot of quaint humor in the “copy” and oddity and humanness of expression. It seems to “inject some real sunshine into your system.” That’s because it's just natural talk about how good Prince Albert really is. The R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. have received thousands of letters about their advertising. Folks Just seem to get “happy” over it. You will. Illustrations are as unique as the reading matter. Some of the greatest character artists in the country have contributed to this new series.

That's why he's so popular. He appears in largo size in one of this new series of ads. By the way, we recently asked the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. whether “Hunch” was sketched from life or was just "created." We found that "Hunch” does not exist in real life. It is said that when the artist was given his instructions he was told 10 create a character “who lived in a small country town, who was always at tlie station when the train came in,- knew everybody’s business better than his own, was always broke, witn money just in sight;’ hanpy natured and just kind of glad he was alive if he had his jimmy pipe and a tidy red tin of Prince Albert." '"Htnrch” was the result! Now he's famous all over the nation. The series of ads that starts tomorrow will cer tainly interest you.
