ALL COMMISSIONS VOID
AFTER FIRST OF FEBRUARY

All military officers in the state now
holding commissions will. give up their
military titles on February LIST under the
new military bill which was passed by the
legislature at the last session.
Elections will be held by every compa-
ny in the state on February LIST. Every
regiment must also hold elections at that
time. There will be new quota of Off
GERS all together. Adjutant General Rob-
ertson announced yesterday that the
terms of all the militia officers would ex-
pire on February LIST and that in a few
days, he would promulgate an order for
new elections to be held.
Under the changes which have been
made in the military bill the commissions
which will be issued in February after
the election will no longer be for three
years but for life. The three year term
has proven unsatisfactory In many in
stances, and 1t was the unanimous opin-
ion of the military men that a change
would be better.
The bill therefore declared that all COM
missions should be void after February /,
and officers who were. elected during this
year will have to be elected again in Feb
ruary The term of Adjutant General
Robertson is the only one allowed to re-
main for three years by the measure.
The new law will bring to an end the
term of, Assistant Adjutant General Phil
G. Byrd and Inspector General William
G.. Obear. and to hold office again they
must be reappointed by the governor. Col
onel Obear it is understood, will be an
applicant for reappointment. but it is not
known yet whether Colonel Byrd win ap-
ply for his position again.

WOMEN SUFFRAGE
DIVIDES CITY
COUNCIL
CITY FATHERS ENGAGE IN WoRDY
DISPUTE OVER APPEAL OF
WOMEN TO TAKE PART
IN BOND ELECTION.

The question Of woman suffrage split
the city council Monday, and incidental
~ furnished excuse for a rare tilt be-
tween Councilman Key and Mayor Minis.
The mayor had sent council a COM
munication. calling attention to the de-
sire OF the Georgia Woman Suffrage As
ISOLATION to participate in the approach
ing sewer and water bond elections.
When the mayors letter was read, Al
derman Welch moved to refer the matter
to the committee on ordinances and leg
islation; but Councilman Key. who is
something of a wag, got up, and, with
a broad smile. moved to refer the paper
TO the mayor.
I'VE are about to lose the mayor" said
he. land would be glad to entrust him
with this delicate duty in order that he
might be with us for one more meeting"
This raised a laugh at the mayors ex-
pense. but his honor was equal to the
occasion.
Il appreciate the honor" he said. ris-
ing. 81 notice it is made by one of the
two bachelors present. I am a married
man, but I do not shirk such duty as
the committeeman would place upon me.
But viii report now. am heartily in
favor of woman suffrage. However,
told the ladies could not be responsible
for this council-certainly not without
some private consultation" The mayor
concluded by abiding to men as 'miser-
able creatures. -
But the matter was not to rest. Alder
man woodward said he thought the ladies
deserved less fippant treatment than was
involved in Mr.. Keys motion.
Finally Councilman Reid secured the
floor. and declared himself:
Il am in favor of suffrage" he said.
Most OF the enlightened countries of the
world allow women not only to vote. but
to hold political positions. This is the
time for this council TO ask the state
legislature 10 make such charter amend
ments as win permit their voting on such
questions"
Finally, however. Alderman Welch's mo-
ton prevailed and the whole question was
referred to the committee on ordinances
and legislation.

{ JEFFERSON"
NAME OF
STATE
SENATOR BACON NOTIFIES THE
SENATE OF HIS DESIRE TO
so NAME THE STATE OF OK
LAHOMA.

WASHINGTON, Dec! 1.-THE fight OF
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma for
statehood, which opens up in real earnest
in the senate tomorrow, has taken turn
OF considerable interest to Georgia since
Senator Bacon gave notice that he would
offer an amendment to change the name
of Oklahoma to Jefferson" in that terri
tory's fight for admission,
The bill to admit the three territories
has already passed the house of repre-
sentatives and viii pass the senate, IT Is
believed, If the vote is ever taken. Just
at the present time there is a great thrust
and parry game going on between Senator
Quay, who wants them admitted, and SEN
ator Beyerfdge who wants only Okla
homa and Indian Territory admitted. It
is feared by the advocates Of the three
state admission that Beverage and his
followers will prevent the bill from
reaching vote, though Senator Quay Is
foxy and has it Is said, large personal
interests at stake in Arizona and New
Mexico, which fact would make him use
every influence to carry his measure
through The fight promises to be one Of
the liveliest at this session Of congress-.
and both sides may be counted on for
much political schemipg.
Senator Bacon is very deeply interested
in his amendment to call Oklahoma JEFF
ferson.''
1T seems to me-" said he yesterday,
that the propriety of giving the name
of Jefferson to a state carved out OF the
territory acquired in the Louisiana pur-
chase would be manifest to every one
whether in or out of congress- The propo-
sition has no political Significance JEFF
ferson was not only the author of the
Declaration of Independence, but through
him we acquired the vast territory known
as the Louisiana purchase
Mr. Hoar once eloquently said in the
senate that Thomas Jefferson would go
into history as carrying in one hand the
Declaration of Independence and in the
other the title to the Louisiana territory.
'The acquisition Of that great domain
is one of the peaceful achievements which
more than any other, If not more than all
others, has contributed to the aggrandize-
ment of the American nation. The area
now composing the Oklahoma and Indian
territories is the last Of that immense
expanse which has not already been or
ganized into states and admitted TO the
union. This is the last opportunity which
can ever be presented to give the name
of Jefferson to a state created out OF
this territory.
-.It is a matter Of the highest historic
Justice that part OF the Louisiana pur-
chase be organized as a state and ad-
mitted into the union with the name OF
Jefferson.
Next year is the centennial OF this
great and far-reaching event We are
about to signaIize it by the greatest in
dustrial exhibition at St. Louis which has
ever been given in America, If not, as it
probably viii be. the greatest ever held
in the world. There could not be a more
magnificent and fit testimonial in that CEN
tennial than to admit into the union the
state Of Jefferson

CHILD LABOR WILL

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. ia child
labor law will be fought for before the
next legislature with much effort by the
laboring people in Alabama. A meeting

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier i'm nature, but few real
ize fits value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; II is not drug
at all. but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out Of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuarts
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed
of the finest powdered Willow charcoal,
and other harmless antiseptics in tablet
form or rather in the form of large.
pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal
being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood and the
beauty Of It is, that no possible harm
can result from their continued use, but
on the contrary. great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking Of the
benefits OF charcoal, says: 'T advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tents suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels. and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath. mouth and throat:
also believe the liver is greatly benefit
ed by the daily use of them; they cost
but twenty-five cents a box at drug
stores. and although in some sense a pat
