GAMBLER SEES
REVOLUTION
COMING
SAYS If REPUBLICAN PARTY
REMAINS IN POWER AND CON-
TINUES TO CYPRESS BLOOD
SHED WILL FOLLOW.

Governor Allen D. Gambler predicts q
revolution of blood in the United States,
unless the Republican party is dethroned
from power or unless that party stops its
oppressive measures. This statement was
made by the chief executive OF Georgia
Friday while speaking of the declination
Of Speaker D. B. Henderson of the con-
gressional nomination of Ohio. Governor
Gambler was very much in earnest and
spoke in a calm deliberate manner, as II
he had studied out the question thor
oughly.
The governor believes that first there
will be a revolution Of sentiment, and II
that sort of revolution does not have
the desired effect then Will come a revolu-
ton Of blood, the like of which he says,
has never been seen nor heard OF. When
questioned that morning as to what he
thought of the action of Speaker Hender-
son Governor Gambler said:
Henderson is fleeing the wrath to come.
He sees the handwriting on the wall and
he is anxious 10 get out. There is going
to be a revolution of sentiment in this
country against the Republican party and
its oppressive measures, and If that revo-.
luton Is not successful, and If the Re-
publican party continues in power and
continues its oppressive measures, allow
ing the trusts to dominate the country
there is going. to come a revolution OF
blood, one that Will sur the country rum
one end to the other and one which the
world has never seen the like of or heard
Of. The people are tired of the trusts
and the Republican domination
Governor-elect Joseph NJ. Terrell, when
seen about Speaker Henderson's retire
ment said: ST hope 1t will dethrone the
Republican party, and it looks now as II
it will"
Comptroller General Wright said: II
think the Republicans see their finish and
Henderson's retirement is a clear inoi-
cation OF it."
Secretary of State Cook said: 1T looks
as if the Republicans are frightened. 1t
seems to me hat the Democrats have
them on the run"

HAMMOND IS
No LONGER A
CANDIDATE
He HAS RETIRED FROM RACE
FOR SUPREME COURT, SAY
ING THERE is NOT ENOUGH
TIME TO CANVASS.

Judge William r. Hammond announces
that he will not be a candidate for
the supreme court Of Georgia to fill the
unexpired term caused by the resignation
OF Justice Hal T. Lewis. Judge Ham
mond, who is one of the most prominent
attorneys in Atlanta and in the state, an
nounced several days ago for the position.
but after carefully looking over the field
he has determined that there is not sufl-
cient time in which to make a canvass
for the position. He has many friends
throughout Georgia who were supporting
him and who were confident that he would
be elected and they will learn with regret
of his retirement.
The announcement Of Judge Hammond
that he is no longer a candidate leaves
four candidates in the field: John S.
Gambler. Julien Williamson. John p. Ross
and r. B. Russell. -
In retiring from the race Judge Ham
mond makes the following statement
II feel that I cannot longer remain In
the race for the supreme court in justice
to myself. I now realize that the time
between the resignation of Justice Lewis
and the general election Gust thirty days.
was too short for me to make a canvass
before the people. The Office being cleo
tive. such a canvass was essential Many
Of my friends were fully committed
against me before II was known I would
be in the race. This leaves me at a serious
disadvantage. which is the result Of cir
cumstances and for which no one is to
blame. II I had sufficient time TO have
visited and become acquainted with the
people would have remained In the race.
Ny candidacy has met with the warmest
support from all sections of the state, for
which feel deeply grateful. and while I
believe my chances Of election were good.
yet justice TO myself demands that I
should not remain in the race when so
many OF my friends are committed TO an
able and popular gentleman who is OPP
posed TO me. I leave the contest without
an unlxind feeling toward any one. trust
ing that the highest honor and dignity
OF the state win be preserved in the person
OF the one on whom the choice OF the
people shall fall.

LONGING DECLINES
TO CALL SESSION

p JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 1S.-Governor
Longino broke the silence this morning
and in a five page typewriter letter, de-
clines TO call the special session Of the
legislature demanded by the business
mems convention held in this city two
months ago, and insisted on by cotton
men, insurance men and business organ
izations for the purpose of repeating val
ued policy insurance laws, especially as
to cotton.
The governor gives as his reason That
a majority of the members of the legisla-
ture have expressed opposition to the
repeal OF the law, except as to cotton,
that insurance companies decline to ac-
cept that amendment and demand re-
peal of the whole valued policy law,
wherefore there is no use in putting me
state to the expense of a special session,
when IL is known in advance that no re-
lief will be given. The governor admits
the situation is serious.

WEST INDIAN sUPERsTITIoNs.
Belief in the Vampire and in "the Roll
ing Calf"

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The French islands have two superstitions
which are not found in some others of the
West Indies These are belief in sort of
werewolf or vampire, which lives on the
blood Of wayfarers, upon whom it leaps
when they are abroad in the nighttime, or
of sleepers whom it finds in lonely huts;
and second believe in what is known in
the British islands as the rolling calf a
monster with blazing eyes, which prowls at
night clanking a chain which hangs about
its neck, and at whose touch men die. The
following description is given of the typical
obeah man:
There is some thing so indescribably sin
lister about an obeah man s appearance that
he can always be picked out by anybody
who has had much to do with negroes.
Dirty, ragged, unkempt diseased, deformed,
there is yet about him an air of cunning
authority. His small, cruel, piercing eyes
peer Viciously at the witnesses arrayed
against him in court, for all the world like
those of cornered rat Black men may
be seen to turn as gray as ashes under the
terror of that baleful gaze, and often it is
only with the greatest difficulty that in
eliminating evidence can be dragged out of
them. The wizards awesome presence,
however, does not appal an unsentimental
British judge He orders him twelve
months hard" and sound fogging. Ere
quently the obeah man appeals against his
sentence to the higher court, and n Jamaica
it is not at all unasual for him to get off
on some technical point, owing to the de-
fective drafting of the law. OF course, he
tells the ignorant negroes that he procured
freedom by his magical powers, and thus
their superstition is strengthened
British law Furnishes obeah with f1ogging
and imprisonment. Nevertheless obeah is
practiced by the white planters almost as
matter Of necessity in order to brighten
the negroes and prevent them from steal
ing the produce of the plantations.

The University Of Cambridge originated
through migration from Oxford. In 1909
an Oxford townswoman was killed by a.
clerk; whether accidentally or not, we do
not know. King John, who was under SEN

desire to protect the clergy, allowed the
people Of Oxford to have their revenge by
putting two or three scholars to death.
Their fellow students became alarmed and
began to migrate-some to Paris, some to
Reading and some to Cambridge. There is
no evidence that Cambridge had acquired
any special pre-eminence as an educational
center before the beginning of the thtr-
