POPE BROWN is A DEMOCRAT.
A CLEAR-CUT STATEMENT FROM
THE COMMISSIONER.

He FIntIy COntradicts statements
which Have Been Circulated Con"
cerntns the Action of the Baptist
Convention mt ValdOsta-Will he
sad Day when Religious ASSEM-
bIies Are Converted Into Political
Caucuses-When He Runs for Gov
trnor 1t Will he as the Nominee OF
the Party and Not Otherwise.
Atlanta, April S.-Hon. ]. Pope Brown
who has been mentioned as the pronlol-
ton candidate for Governor to-day, gave
out the following statement:
II now desire to say that l attended the
Baptist Convention at Valdosta merely as
a delegate from my church, solely to dis
charge that duty, and certainly with no
political purpose or intention. DO not
regard a Baptist Convention as the proper
body for nominating political candidates
either Democratic or Prohibitionist. 1t
will certainly be a sad day for Georgia
when our religious assemblies resolve
themselves into political caucuses and
any man who would seek to prostitute
them to such purpose is unfit to be the
candidate of any party.
Now replying directly to the inquiries
contained in your telegram, 1 have not
declared that if elected Governor L would
sign any temperance or prohibition meas
IRE nassed by the Legislature. In TINS
connection. however, l will say that IN
nv opinion any general law duly con
sjdered and deliberately enacted by the
king branch of the state govern
ment should be PROMPTLY approved by the
Governor, unless in his opinion there are
constitutional grounds for Withholding
such approval
II do not know of any published state
men by prominent Bapists of any plan
of theirs to make the fight in the Dem
ocratic party for what they want, and
if that fails to go it alone, / do not be-
lieve that any such purspose exists or
has been declared. / know the Bapists or
Georgia to be honorable men and am
sare that they would not make fight
upon any issue inside the party and If
beaten renew that fight outside and in
direct antagonism to the party organiza-
ton. / need hardly say that / have en-
dorsed no such plan
Il was born and reared a Democrat
and in that political faith l expect to
die. In my opinion there will arise dur
my my lifetime no suse for decision by
the people of this state more vital to
their best interests than the preservation
intact of the integrity and supremacy of
the Democratic party. When, therefore,
] seek the position Of Governor of Geor-
gia it shall be as the nominee of the
Democratic party and not otherwise.
And in seeking the nomination it shall
be on platform, clear-cut, unmistakable
and straightforward, embracing those
principles which, in my judgment, will
best promote all the interests and develop
all the resources of our state.
-. Pope Brown"

INDIANA WOMAN GETS $4,000
Plant system Pays Mrs. Ida A. Davis
That sum for Death of Lumber
man G.. w. Davis.

Waycross, Ga. April 2.-The case of
Mrs. Ida A. Davis of Indiana, against the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
for $4,000 damages for the killing of her
husband in this city something over
year ago. has been settled.
When the Indiana Lumber Dealers AS
ISOLATION gave their annual excursion last
year their train was wrecked by collision
near the Plant System hospital here. Mr.
C. w. Davis was in one of the cars and
had his legs so badly shattered that am
putation was necessary.
The Plant System gave every attention
to the man, but he died from his wounds.
His wife, through her attorneys, Toomer
& Reynolds, and Hon L. A. Wilson, en-
tered suit for $4,000 damages The case
would have been called up at the April
term of Ware Superior Court. The rail-
road admitted it's liability, and expressed
a willingness to pay a reasonable compen-
sation. After thorough discussion it was
decided that $4,000 would be just. and
that amount will be paid to Mrs. Davis.

SIGNALING WITHOUT WIRES.
Prof. Willis l.. Moore Reports That
the Experimental Work Has
Resulted Very Satisfa ctOrIIy

Washington, April 3.-Prof Willis L.
Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, has
returned from an inspection of the wire
less telegraphy stations on the Virginia
and North Carolina coasts and has report
ed to Secretary Wilson the results of his
observations. He found that the expert
mental work is progressing satisfactorily
between Hatteras and Cape Henry, where
elaborate plans have been laid out for
important experiments.
At Cape. Henry an excellent plant has
been established for the physical and me-
chanical development and investigation
of the fundamental principles of wireless
biography. Signals are exchanging daily
between these two stations, and message
can be transmitted at any time, though
there is no necessity for exchange of
messages as yet. These two stations are
forty-seven miles apart with no land be-
tween them, and the course is regarded
as an ideal one for the experiments. 1t
is intended to keep this section for ex-
primental and research work, which will
be prosecuted vigorously throughout next
summer The next great problem to be
solved, according to Chief Moore, is the
differentiation of the wireless messages,
SO that the messages sent shall be read
only by the stations for which they are
intended, and not interfered with by the
crossing of messages for other stations.

MUST FURNISH CLOTHING.
PRISON COMMISSION ADOPTS I'M
PORTANT RULE.

VIII Prove Costly to Fulton and
Chatham-Each Misdemeanor Com
Wet Must Be Furnished With Suit
of Clothing of Value of Not Less
Than 81 on Discharge-COnvicts
From Other Counties Must BE Civ
en- Transportation to Places From
which They Came-FuIton County
Gives in to Prison Commission.
Atlanta. April 3.-The. Prison Commits
sion adopted to-day new and important
rule relating to the government of mis-
demeanor convict camps which will affect
about 1900 convicts in Georgia. Hereafter
all misdemeanor convicts, upon their dis
charge, must be furnished suit of
clothing to cost not less than IS. All
convicts who are leased in counties other
than those in which they are convicted
must be furnished with transportation
back to the county seat of the county
from which they were sent. This will af-
feet nearly every misdemeanor convict
camp in Georgia. The new rule is as fol-
lows:
XVI Transportation and clothing fo~
discharged conVlctS.
In all cases when a convict is discharg-
ed he shall be furnished with one suit
of citizens clothing of the value of five
dollars; in all cases when he is impris-
oned in a county other than the one in
which he was convicted, he shall, upon
discharge, be furnished with transpor-
tation to the county seat of county in
which mis- conviction occurred
This rule will mean considerable ex-
pense to some counties in the state Full
ton county for instance, has about 800
misdemeanors or convicts. Many Of these
are in for short terms and this means
about 500 convicts during the year, con-
sequently, this county will have to pur
chase 800 suits of clothing for those con-
victs on discharge at a cost of
about $500 each year. Chatham
county is similarly situated hav-
ing about 200 conVicts which
will mean an annual purchase of about
400 suits of clothes each year at a cost
of 5000. There are other counties which
will have to go to a similar expense. The
requirement however. is considered a

Fulton County Gives in.
The Board of County Commissioners of
Fulton to-day took up the matter of
making reports to the Priosn Commission
as the other counties do and as notice
has been sent to them to do. Capt Cliff
ford l.. Anderson, chairman of the board,
and chairman of the committee having
the convicts in charge, was appointed a
committee of one to confer with the
Prison Commission and to comply with
all requests or requirements as to mis-
demeanor convicts that the Prison Com
mission may insist upon. The indications

1T IS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking
when Using Cafarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to consump-
ton, and the Importance of early and Ju-
dicious treatment of catarrh, whether To-
Gated in the head. throat or bronchial
tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures is as long As
the moral law and the forms in which they
are administered, numerous and contus-
ing. from sprays, inhalers. washes, ONT
ments, and salves to powders, liquids ara
tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the most
convenient and NOSE effective, but with
nearly all advertised catarrh remedies 1t
is almost entirely a matter of guess work
as to what you are taking into your sys-
tenn, as the proprietors, while making Gil
sorts of claimes as to what their medicine
will do, always keep it a close secret as
10 what they are.
The success and popularity OF the new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, Is
largely because it not only cures catarrh
but because catarrh sufferers who used
these tablets know what they are taking
into their systems Stuarts Catarrh TAD
let's being composed of Eucolyptol, n.y.
draetin, Guaicol and similar valuable and
intiseptic ingredients and Pleasant to the
taste and being dissolved in the mouth
they take immediate effect upon the mu>
cous lining of the throat, nasal passages
and whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases OF
catarrh are little short of remarkable,
and the advantage of knowing what you
are putting into your stomach Is of para
mount Importance when it is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit mas
been frequently contracted as the result
of using secret catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with coy
dial approval from physicians, because
their antiseptic character renders them
perfectly safe for the general public TO
use and their composition makes them a
common sense cure for all forms of catar-
rhal troubles.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized package.

A USE FOR CONVICT LABOR.
A Proposition for a stove Factory at
the State Farm.

Atlanta, April S-The Prison Commits
sion to-day again took under considera-
tion the matter of establishing a manu-
featuring plant at the state farm at Mil
-ledgeville. Several parties interested in
the matter called on the commission and
showed them the advantage that would
accrue TO the state. Four states are now
sending into Georgia total of $50 car
loads of stoves and hollow ware made by
convicts. and this is the class of goods it
is contemplated shall be made at the
farm. The parties who called on the COM
mission made a proposition to the effect
that they would put up the establishment
and furnish everything, and pay the state
so much for the labor of convicts at the
farm. This would provide employment
for these convicts and would not take any
able bodied men away from the present
