MRS. DR.: POTTS LECTURES
Touches Upon the Much Discussed
Servant Girl Problem

DR.. Longshore-POtts in her lecture yes
terday afternoon touched upon several
points of interest to all women. One was
the much discussed servant girl problem.
She believes that mistresses should show
more consideration for their maids; treat
them as human beings, give them place
in which to receive their company and not

so meager that, considering the durability

Georgia Veterans.

One of the features Of the Georgia
State Fair this fall will be the special
day to be known as Veterans Day. Octo-
Der % will be set aside for general
meeting OF all the Georgia ex-Confed-
crates, and it is expected that large
number will take part in the special ex'
ercises to be held.
The exercises will not be in the ma.
ture Of a convention. and there will be
no parade. It is expected that a meet
ing will be held on the morning OF
Veterans Day in the auditorium at the
exposition park, aud that an orator OF
the day, to be selec'ed later, will de-
liver an appropriate address.
All the old Confederate battle songs
will be sung, and it is hoped that the
Daughters Of the Confederacy and the
Sons Of Confederate Veterans will CO.
operate with veterans in making the
day one long to be remembered by all
who participate. Atlanta Constitution.

TRAGIC LIFE AND DEATH.

The tragic end of President Heu-
reaux, chief executive of San Domingo,
by assassination at the hands of son
of a man the president had murdered,
was In keeping with his life. Those who
resort to force in government usually
feel its power before the end comes.
Heureaux was a unique character. In
less than fifty years life he rose from
half-breed peasant to the dictatorship
of San Domingo. and in the thirteen
years of his administration he materi-
ally advanced the country in civiliza-
ton. He built up an army from half
savage brigands, and brought prosper
ity to the people. He established
schools, compelled degree Of educa-
ton in the cities, and fostered com
merce which increased a hundred folc
under his care. His people looked upor

loved or hated him, they obeyed him
without question. Heureaux ruled with
a firm hand. He had an elaborate sys-
tenn Of spies, and more than once his
life was saved by the information they
secured. His political career abounded
in stirring episodes which found their
elimination in his startling death. His
country now rocks in the throes of a

LAST WEEKS CONVENTIONS.

IL the election of United States SEN
ator consisted of publishing estimates
how quickly some managers could elect
their man! A case in point is the official
claims that were sent out Saturday
evening from the offices of the Gear
and Cummins managers in Des Moines
as to the result of last weeks conven-
tions. The claims of the Gear man
ayers We're given publication in our
columns of yesterday and are inter-
esting to an extreme. Not that the
Gear claims are exaggerated more than
the Cummins claims, for they are not,
but just to show how easy 1T is for
some people to claim all there is in
sight we will make a few comparisons.
This official claim stated that fifteen.
decisive conventions had been held dur
ing the last week, three senatorial and
twelve representative nominations be-
ing made. Out of these they claimed
one senator and nine representatives
for Gear, conceding two senators and
two Representatives to Cummins with
one unpledged. Now. as a matter of
fact the conventions of the Hancock-
Wright. Boone Story and Humboldt
position of their nominees clearly de-
fined. The support given Mr.. Kent by
Pocahontas county for the Humboldt
Pocahontas nomination when the lat
ter county was conceded the right to
make the nomination is generally rec
ognized as giving one more vote to
Cummins.
These We're not included in the list
and would raise the number of votes
to be considered to eighteen instead of
fifteen, out of which, upon a fair and
conservative estimate Gummins and
Gear each received five of the repre-
sentatives and four We're doubtful,
while cummns received three of the
senators and Gear one
Among those claimed by Gear are the
Ida-M onona, Tama Jasper and Harri-
son districts, whose convention pro-
ceedings do not warrant any such esti-
mate. The Ida-N1onona convention was
held July &c and the records of both
senators Allison and Gear, as we'll as
President Mckinley and Governor
Shaw commended, but no indication
was given that the districts represen-
tative could be claimed for either. h
was not instructed and should b
classed as doubtful. Again, Tama coun
ty should not be claimed for Gear whel
the nomination of MTs Cold over Me
Chimney was known to be a clean Gu
Cummins victory. In Jasper count.
and Harrison, too, instructions wer
carefully avoided and there is no JUST
feation for CHASING their representa-
tives other than doubtful.
These changes, with the addition o
the other three districts, would max
the correct status of the weeks result
more nearly as follows:

tasted simply because he wanted 60 re.
duce his weight, fearing that tts grad-
:ual increase might bring on appolexy.
He succeeded In his efforts. He weighed
'210 pounds when. ne stopped eating;
when he resumed at the end of twenty
eight days he tipped the scales at 1853
pounds, q, loss Of forty-two pounds Of
flesh.
A singular fact In Mr.. Rathbun's ex-
pertinent was that after the first
twenty-four hours he experienced mo
sense of hunger at all, and had no un-
pleasant sensations of any kind. He
slept and worked in the regular way,
his mind clear and his strength un-
abated to the end. He drank copiously
of water during the period, but took
nothing else. When ne began to eat
again he took only little food at frst,
increasing the amount gradually until,
within few days, he was back to his
former diet. Mr.. Rathbun holds to the
theory that the average man eats far
more than is necessary for his health
or comfort. and that an occasional
period OF absolute abstention from food
for several days is good for the system.
This theory certainly has the support
of Mr.. Rathbun's own practice.
