CONSERVATIVES LAYING Low..'
Tendency Seems to BE to Await the
Drift of Events.

While next Wednesday night is the time
set for another meeting of the recently
organized Conservative Club there is, as
far as can be seen but little effort being
made to swell the ranks of the new po-
ntical organization,
A tendency seems to have developed in
the last few days to pursue waiting pol
icy, to put off any definite action, such as
selecting permanent officers and adopting
platform. and to postpone any agsres-
sive attitude until something tangible is
done in the shape of legislation at At
lanta.
The course of events on the Liberal club
side Of the fence is also likely to materially
change the plans Of the new
club. Altogether 1t is doubtful
if much will be done with a.
except TO keep the nucleus of an organiza-
ton until the latter part Of the month.
Such seems to be the opinion among those
who have shown an interest in the move
ment Meetings for the next two or three
weeks will be probably more like eau
cuses than club gatherings.
The fact has got out IN some way. and
has been discussed TO some extent in anti
administration circles. that some Of the

The Soldier Who Was Robbed Was n
Private In the second Louisiana.
The officers of the Second Louisiana
Regiment We're somewhat distressed yes
terday when they read of the robbery of a
young man supposed to be an officer of
their regiment. Investigation showed,
however, that there was a mistake in the
identity of the man who had been robbed
Instead of being an officer he was a
private in Company A of the regiment.
At the time of the robbery all of those
who met the excited victim believed him
TO be a second lieutenant and there were
some comments by them on the line of
the commissioning of SO youthful an of

cloth differs from that of a second lieuten-
ant in but one particular having no gold
eagle on the blue straps on the shoulders.

An Easy Matter.

1t is an easy matter to cry out that
this place is the best, or that place is
the best.
People may say anything.
There is a test.
Hicks Restaurant has stood the test.
People of small appetites, people of large
appetites-hard to please people, dyspep-
tics, old and young, have swooped down
upon Hicks from time to time, and no.
body lives to say that they did not leave
exulting over their fare and treatment.
1t is these people that make Hicks Res
taurant the most popular restaurant in
the state. Hicks began long time ago
to doing just a little better than any
body else as a restaurateur, and he has
adhered to it, let come what might.
He says truthfully that nobody can beat
his steaks.
Nobody can beat his eggs.
Nobody can beat his game.
Nobody can beat his coffee,
Have you ever made him a visit?

tenant, a colored woman, will move In
a few days to allow the government the
