Convention Week September 1
t The state convention will meet in
ZMacon September 1. There are 372
/delegates to the convention and these
will be elected by the county executive
committees of the various counties
from among the friends of the sue
cessful gubernatorial candidates in
. each county.
'* at requires 186 votes to nominate.
A point which will come up in the
convention is, whether Bleckley and
Wheeler counties, which bad no rep
resentatives in the last legislature, ow
ing to the fact that they were newly
elected, shall be represented in the
convention. Counties have representa
tion in the convention in proportion to
the number of representatives in the
house. These two counties will have
one representative each, and each will
be entitled to two convention votes. It
will be a matter for the con,vention to
decide.
Walker for Attorney General
; Os the state house officials, no new
faces will be seen with the exception
■of Clifford Walker, who defeated Hon.
Warren Grice, the incumbent, for at
torney general
Others who had opposition defeated
their opponents, and will remain in
office for two years longer at the
least.
Judge Nash R. Broyles, at present
recorder of the city of Atlanta, de
feated his opponents, A. W. Stephens
and W. H. Terrell, by a big majority
for the court of appeals.
Doctor Hardman the Dark Horse
In a good ninny respects the primary
ran true to the form of the political
dopesters; in other respects this form
was upset and surprises sprung.
For example Thomas S. Felder ran a
splendid race. He developed strength
in many quarters conceded to either
Hardwick or Slaton and ran a rattling
good race.
Hardwick developed an amazing
strength iu doubtful counties in which
the Slaton forces had recently been
working.
But tlie surprise of the day was the
■wonderful race of Dr. L. G. Hardman.
It had generally been conceded that the
race for governor was between Judge
N. E. Harris and J. Randolph Ander
son. This dope was completely upset.
Doctor Hardman ran a good second to
Judge Harris and carried many coun
ties which his opponents had strongly
figured on.
Slaton Led in His Race
With only four counties, Dawson,
Uncoln, Liberty and Towns, to be
heard from. Slaton had li4 convention
votes; Hardwick has 126, and Felder
lias 94; Hutchens has S. and Cooper
none. Necessary to elect, 187.
Not including the four counties
named, Hoke Smith has 348 convention
votes and Joseph M. Brown 16.
Judge Nat Harris has 204, Hardman
136, Anderson 24. It will be seen that
Judge Harris will be elected on the
first ballot.

general. .Mr. Grice made a good show- ,
ing in his own home section, but in
the rest of the state where he had (
j done extensive campaigning, Mr. Wal- ,
ker far outdistanced him. ।
The four counties not heard from ,
are all two vote counties. (
Nearly Every County for Wright ।
< Comptroller General William A. ,
I Wright has carried practically ev- ।
ery county in the state with the ex
ception of Haralson, the home county ।
of his opponent, and so far as Is ap- j
parent from the returns at a late hour ,
I State Superintendent M. L. Brittain ,
has gotten about every county in Geor- '
gla. (
Speer’s Re-Election Assured f
State Treasurer W. J. Speer is, be- ,
yond question, renominated over Lem j
Bark, his opponent. Mr. Park has
carried some few counties, but not
enough to make any serious inroads
upon Mr. Speer's political intrench- (
meats.
There was, apparently from the re
turns, some little race between Rail- '
road Commissioner Paul B. Trammell 1
and Hon. Guyt S. McLendon, a former "
member of the commission. Mr. Me- ‘
London carried quite a number of
counties, but not enough for success.
Commissioner Trammell will remain ’’
on the board, backeiT by a good ma
jority in the state convention.
It is rather an interesting fact that *
while Tippens of Appling ^seemed to
be the most serious opponent of Pris
on Commissioner E. L. Rainey, Flan- I
ders carried a good many more coun- j a
ties than Tippens. But neither of them ■ s
got anywhere near enough to interfere
with Commissioner Rainey's succeed
ing himself on that board. He will
go in with a splendid majority. J
Broyles Wins With Ease *
There was almost as much interest 1
in the tight over the state court of ’
appeals seat as there was in the gov
ernor’s race But Judge Nash K.
Broyles, of the recorder’s court, has
won easily. He has far outdistanced '
his opponents, both of them Atlanta
lawyers. Alex W. Stephens has car
ried a few counties, while none are re
ported for Terrell. The outlook is
that Broyles has won a sweeping vic
tory.
Sweeping Victory for Price
Commissioner of Agriculture J. D.
Price has won a sweeping victory for
renomination. The returns show- that
J. J. Brown has carried comparatively !
few counties. Mr. Price will go into
the state convention that will put him 1
through not only on the first ballot. '
but with something in the nature of
an ovation.
Popular Vote of Candidates

ties the popular votes are as follows:

HOW FORCES OF THE KAISER
TOOK POSSESSION OF BRUSSELS
Chicago.—The Trlbuhe prints the
following special cable from Brussels
via Ixmdon:
Yielding to the dictates of reason
and humanity, the civil government at
the last moment disbanded the civil
guard, which the Germans would not
recognize. The soldiers and ordinary
police were then intrusted with the
maintenance of order.
After a day of wild panic and slum
berless nights the citizens remained
at their windows. Few sought their
couches.
Cry “Here They Come."
The morning broke brilliantly. The
city was astir early and on all lips
were the words: ‘‘They are here," or
‘They are coming.”
The “they" referred to were al
ready outside the boundaries of the
city in great force. The artillery was
packed off on the road to Waterloo
Horse, foot, and sapper were packed
deep on the Louvain and Tervervue
ren roads.
An enterprising motorist came in
with the Information and the crowds
tn the busy centers Immediately be
came calm
Burgomaster Gives Up.
At eleven o'clock it was reported
that an officer with a half a troop of
hussars bearing white fiags had halt
ed outside the Louvain gate.
The burgomaster claimed for the
citizens their rights under the laws
of war regulating an unfortified capi
tal. When roughly asked if he was
prepared to surrender the city, with
the threat that otherwise it would be
bombarded, the burgomaster said he
would do so. He also decided to re
move his scarf of office.
The discussion was brief. When
the burgomaster handed over his scarf
it was banded back to him and he
w as thus entrusted for the time being I
with the civil control of the citizens. '
The Germans gave him plainly to un- '
derstand that he would be held re
sponsible for any overt act on the
part of the populace against the Ger
mans.
Triumphant March Begins.
From noon until twm o'clock the
crowds waited expectantly. Shortly
after two o'clock the booming of can
non and later the sound of military
music conveyed to the people of Brus
sels the Intimation that the triumph
ant march of the enemy on the an
cient city had begun.
On they came, preceded by a scout
ing party of uhlans, horse, foot, and
artillery and sappers, with a siege
train complete.
A special feature of the procession
was 100 motor cars on which quick
firers were mounted. Every regiment
and battery was headed by a band,
horse or foot. Now came the drums
and flfee; now the blare of brass and
soldiers singing “Die Wacht am Rhein
and “Deutschland über Alles."
Death Head Hussars There.
Along Chausee de Louvain, past St.
Josse aud the botanical gardens, to
the open space in front ot the Gare du
Nord, the usual lounging place ot the
tired twaddlers of the city, swept the
legions.
Among the cavalry were the famous
Brunswick Death’s Head Hussars and
their companions on many bloody
fields, the Zeiten hussars. But where
was the glorious garb ot the German
troops, the cherry-colored uniforms of
the horsemen, and the blue of the in
fantry? All is greenish, earth color
gray. All the helmets are covered with
gray. The guns are painted gray.
Even the pontoon bridges are gray.
"To the quickstep beat of the drums
the kaiser's men march to the great
square, Charles Regier. Then at the
whistling sound of the word ot com
mand—tor the sonorous orders of the
German officers seemed to have gone^
the way of the brilliant uniforms—the
gray clad ranks broke into the famous
goose step, while the good people of
Liege and Brussels gazed at the pass
ing wonder with mouths agape.
Crowds Want Revenge.
At the railroad station the great
procession defiled to the boulevards
and thence marched to encamp on the
heights of the city called Kochelberg.
It was truly a sight to have gladdened
the eyes of the kaiser, but ou the side
walks men were muttering beneath
their breath.
“They’ll not pass lie re on their way
back. The allies will do for them."
Many of the younger men in the
great array seemed exhausted after
the long forced march, but as a man
staggered his comrades in the ranks
held him up
It was a great spectacle and an im
pressive one, but there are minor Inci
dents that were of a less pleasant char
acter.
Officers in Shackles.
Two Belgian officers, manacled and
fastened to the leather stirrups of two
uhlans, made a spectacle that caused
a low murmur of resentment from the
citizens. Instantly German horsemen ‘
backed their steeds into the closely
packed ranks of the spectators, threat
ening them with uplifted swords and
stilling the momentary revolt.
At one point of the march a lame
hawker offered flowers for sale to the
soldiers. Aa he held up his posies a
captain of hussars, by a movement of
his steed, sent the poor wretch sprawl
ing and bleeding in the dust. Then
from the crowd a French woman, her
heart scorning fear, cried out: “You
brute,” so that all might hear.
Bear in Belgium Uniform.
There was one gross pleasantry, too.
perpetrated by a gunner, who led
along a bear, evidently he pet of his
battery, which was dressed in the full
regalia of Belgian general. The bear
was evidently intended to represent
the king. He touched his cocked hat
at inervals to his keeper.
This particularly irritated the Bel
gians, but they wisely abstained from
any overt manifestation or any un
pleasant feature of behavior.
The soldiers as they passed tore re
peatedly al the national colors, which ■
every Belgian lady now wears on her ■
breast.
Refuse Gold in Payment.
A more pleasant incident was when ;
a party of Uhlans clamored for admit- I
tance at a villa on the Louvain road.
They disposed of a dozen bottles of
wine and bread and meat. The non
commissioned officer in command
asked what the charge was aud offered
some gold pieces In payment. The
money was refused
Near the steps of St. Gudule a party
of officers of high rank seated in a
motor car, confiscated the stock of
the news venders. After greedily
scanning the sheets they burst into
loud laughter.
March Forward for Hours.
। Hour after hour, hour after hour,
I the kaiser's legions marched into
Brussels' streets and boulevards
Some regiments made a fine appear
ance. It was notably so In the case
of the Sixty-sixth. Fourth and Twenty
sixth Not one man of these regi
ments showed any sign of excessive
fatigue after the grueling night of
marching, and no doubt the order to
break step was designedly given to
impress the onlookers with the pow
ers of resistance of the German sol
diers.
The railway stations, the poet office,
and the town hall were at once closed.
The national flag on the latter was
pulled down and the German emblem
hoisted in its place. Practically alt
the shops were closed and the blinds
drawn on most of the windows
Tells of Taking German Flag.
Paris. —An officer of a French rifle
regiment gives to the Petit Troyen the
following account of the capture of the
first German flag:
"The engagement of the French
troops with the Ninety-ninth brigade
of Germans lasted from 5:30 a. m. to
9 at night.
“The artillery combat was terrible.
The French 75-millimeter guns made
havoc among the German horses and ■
then reduced the heavy German guns |
to silence. The gunners were decim- ■
ated by the French Are and they aban
doned their pieces, which fell into
French hands.
“The German machine guns from a
church steeple continued to ravage the !
French, but the church finally was de- '
molished.
“At nightfall the French charged
the enemy's defense work with irre
sistible energy and took them at the
point of the bayonet. They estab
lished themselves there for the night. ;
"in this action the Fifth company ■
of the First battalion captured a Ger- ’
man flag, with eight guns, 90 horses
^.aud 537 prisoners, including ten offi
cers.”
Americans in French Army.
Paris. —Hundreds of foreigners pre
sented themselves to the military au
thorities and offered their services as
volunteers. Among them were 150
Americans, 25 of whom were medical
ly examined and accepted. The pro
portion accepted among the other for
eigners was about thirty per cent.
The remainder of the Americans will
be examined. Among the 25 Ameri
can citizens accepted were William
Thaw, son of Benjamin Thaw of Pitts
burgh. and a cousin of Harry, who
was engaged as an aviator.
Glories in Death of Son.
Paris. —Count Guerry de Beaure
gard. a veteran of the war of 1870,
thus announces the death of a son at
the front:
‘ One son already has met the death
of the brave beyond the frontier at
the head of a squadron of the Seventh
hussars. Others will avenge him.
Another of my sons, an artilleryman,
is with the general staff. My eldest
son is with the Twenty-first chasseurs.

HERE IS A GOOD WAY
TO GET RID OF PIMPLES
| Bathe your face for several minutes
with resinol soap and hot water, then
apply a little resinol ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with resinol soap and
more hot water, finishing with a dash
of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice a day, and you will
be astonished to find how quickly the
healing, antiseptic resinol medication
soothes and cleanses the pores, re-
I moves pimples and blackheads, and
leaves the complexion clear and vel
vety. All druggists sell resinol soap
and resinol ointment.-—Adv.
