Deadlieat Poison Known,

Cyanide Of potassium and hydro
cyanic or prussic acid are considered
by most people to be about the most
poisonous Of known substances. This
Is an error. They are the most rap.
idly acting of all poisons, but not the
most potent. One droo Of pure prus-
sic acid placed in the eye of large
dog will kill it within two seconds
and such dose will kill man. But
there is an alkaloid in aconite root,
called pseudaconitine, one three hum

This is the deadliest poison known,

FAMOUS GEoRGIAN's CHOICE.
Historian Thomas Watson Names
His Candidate For President.

Historian Thomas Watson Names
His Candidate For President.
j.. Thomas e.. Watson, the historian.
who represented Georgia district in
congress, but has retired to private
dfe, in an open letter sets forth rea-
sons why, II in public life, he would
support Congressman William Ran
dolph Hearst for the presidency. Mr..
Watson's letter follows:
'Were in politics should heartily
approve and support the candidacy of
William R. Hearst because he has for
many years been exerting all the pow
er of his millions and his mental en-
ergies in favor of the principles of Jef-
fersonian Democracy.
IL would support Mr.. Hearst because
he is a young leader inspired by the
old spirit Of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none, because he
favors the rights of the many rather
than the greed Of the few, because he
does not represent sectionalism of any
sort, but stands for the common people
Of the entire republic. l would support
him because he is young enough to
cherish generous enthusiasm Of the
public good at the same time that he
has demonstrated capacity to succeed
In the most trying affairs of practical
life.
II would support him because he
wears no. mans collar and because he
is not the craven tool of any ring, syn
dicate, corporation, trust or interest.
Il would support him because he has
brains enough to realize what this pub.
lie needs and pluck enough to do battle
for his convictions
"A Democrat who knows what De.
mocracy is and is loyal enough to stand
by it in this day of decadence, l would
give him the aid of my entire strength,
believing that would thus be doing
the highest public service
In commenting on the above utter
ance the Atlanta News says in the
same issue: "The Hon. Thomas E.
Watson is no longer politician. No
temptation of Office no plea Of the
public, has been sufficient to draw him
from his brilliant and honorable re-
tirement to engage in the personal am.
billions of politics. He has made fame
He has achieved fortune by his brains
and his labor, and he is today by gen
eral consent looked upon as without a
superior among the thinkers and pa.
triots Of the state. But whether in re-
trement or in active service, Thomas
Watson is still the great tribune Of the
common people Of Georgia. They trust
him and follow him as they do no 9th.
er man. And Tom Watson, the philos.
opher, the scholar in politics, the pa
triot In retirement, viewing all meas
ures and all men from the tranquility
Of unselfshness and repose, sends
through the News a message to the
people Of Georgia today which rings
like bugle call. It is the voice of the
real tribune Of the people calling the
people to their opportunity.
''Tom Watson's letter is the most nota.
BILE and significant utterance which the
presidential campaign has so far
evoked, It is the highest possible vim;
dication Of the contention Of the News
that Hearst is the man of the people
and the choice Of the people. 1t now
remains to see that the people have
their choice"
