When seen yesterday Mr. Ken

an attempt at blackmail. In answer
to the Question if this suit would

cejitalnly would not. Superba Is
one of the feature attractions of the
Great Parker Shows. It is an ex

quiring the most intricate electrical
mechanism to run It. It Is the out
come of many years experimenting
in the factories of the Great Parker
Amusement Company, at Abellne,
Kansas and the danc which is used
in the produ'tion is the creation of
one of the famous French ballet
masters of the opera Comique in
Paris. The dance will most positive
ly be seen next week in the carnival.
Preparations are still going on for
the opening Monday night o." the

of the Brunswi k Riflemen. The
lnterst in the coining event is get
ting to be keen on account of the
fact that the profits are t obe divi

different committees and to the mum

present at the annual convention
that Is to be held at Athens on the
2& and 23 of next month. Not only
are these letters going to the pres
ent members of th organization but
to the mayors of different Georgia
cities which are not members.
"The one big movement which is
to be made at the annual conven

the state into the league.
As Mayor Smith is secretary of
the league the majority of these ques

him.
Following is a portion of the letter
that is ibelng sent out by Mayor
Smith:
“If your town is not a member it
shouft be. It Is very often that a
town can get information with a 2-
cent stamp which will save it thous

the league not only advertises your
town but places it and the mayor

the state. 0
“The annual meetings cM the
mayors in the different towns are al
ways full of business, and after the
work of the meeting comes a feast

"Jerome Jones, editor of the Jou-r
nal of Labor, and former president
of the Georgia Federation of Lai,or,

succeeded in settling the differences
in a manner satisfactory to both
parties and the nearly 600 members
of the union have nearly oil return
ed to work.
“ In speaking of his Jone*
said Wednesday: ‘lt is I pleasure
to have to do su h work that in
Brunswick. The employers ail re
ceived mrxt with a spirit of fairness
and frankness and the longshoremen
were willing to leave their side in
my hands. The result was that
everything was arranged, to the sat
isfaction of everybody, within a very
short time.
“I want to say also that Bruns

place. With a beautiful land-locked
harbor which Is now capa
ble of floating the largest ship*
it has a great future as a seaport.
It is already taking high rank as

ly increasing. The people are full
of energy' and are on the lookout for
all new enterprises. Watch out for
Brunswick.”

this bill makes a distinction between

Blank ballots haev been sent to
the contributors and they will be
asked to state what plan they favor.
By this method the wish of the em

the hospital came as a suggestion
from a <ftber of employes who stat
ed that they thought a hospital
might result in greater benefit to
the railroad men than a monument
would.
As soon as thte suggestion was

of employes who expressde the same
wish. As there are others who might
favor the monument, an expression
