Governor Terrell said:
1T is a great pleasure for me as
governor of one of the greatest states
in the union to welcome the delegates
of this association. Our only regret
is that every member of this associa.
ton is not present so that when you
return home the state of Georgia
might be talked about all over the
country.
Here in Georgia We believe in ad-
yertising the resources of the state
and the best way to advertise these re
sources is to let you come and see
them. Georgia, as you know, is the
youngest OF the original states, and it
was organized as a sort of eleemosy-
nary institution, and we have been do
ing ellemosynary work ever since"
Mayor James G. Woodward was in
troduced and welcomed the delegates
on behalf of the city. He was roundly
applauded as he ceased to speak.
After paying a glowing tribute to
the famous Atlanta spirit" Mayor
Woodward continued.
1T is this spirit which harmonizes
and fraternizes every interest which
affects our prosperity. 1t is this spirit
which we so often note in many of
our distant cities.
Our emplOyes-the wage earning
class-are honest, conservative, reIia-
bic, homecoming and home-loving peo-
pie. Our employers are considerate,
liberal and fair-minded men, With
such combination, strife and bitter
ness are eliminated, strikes are very
infrequent and roting and rebellion
are positively unknown"
Colonel John Temple Graves was
the next speaker introduced by Presi-
dent Maddox. Colonel Graves was
greeted with applause.
Colonel Graves paid glowing tri-
butte to the pilgrim wao first set foot

Every one of these patients had
plenty of warning in that bearing down
feeling, pain at the left or right of the
womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the
small of the back, leucorrhBa, dizzi-
ness, t1atulency, displacements of the

SELF-CONFESSED FELoN HAS A
WIFE AND CHILD RESIDING
IN SEATTLE
Real Name Of William Lowering, Who
Will Serve Fourteen Years, Is
William HeImer.

William Lowering, the name given
by the burglar who tried to murder
Sergeant Mike Powers and Detective
Adams, in Seattle, a few days ago
when the officers arrested him and his
pal, O'Connor, in the Fremont house
after eleven shots were exchanged be-
tween the officers and their prisoners,
is an assumed one. Coverings real
name is William Helmers. The self
confessed felon, who has received the
limit of the law for burglary, IA years
at hard labor in the state prison, has
a wife and three-year- old boy in Sc
attic. They are now living with Mrs
Helmer's parents.
1t was not until after Lowering was
sentenced that his wife know of his
real identity. Then, through a friend
she was informed of the fact that Low
ering was really William Helmers, her
husband. Mrs. Helmers was prostrat-
ed by the news.
Five or six years ago Helmers ran
a cigar stand near the corner of Sec
ond avenue and Washington street in
Seattle. A year or so after that he
left the city deserving his wife and
child. For three years but little was
heard of him. The police have infor-
nation that during the time Helmers
was serving a term in a California
prison. This information, however,
has not been fully substantiated.
Six months ago Helmers returned to
Seattle. He went to see his wife, and
their domestic troubles were patched
over, and they became reconciled. At
ter short time Helmers left again,
and it was not until he had pleaded
guilty under the name of Lowering that
Mrs. Helmers know ner husband was
facing long sentence in prison.
To shield the wife from as much of
the disgrace as possible, the police
have not divulged publicly the name
of the woman's parents, who are highly
respected people.
1t is now believed by Ine police that
Helmers had two objects in giving a
false name. The first, perhaps, was he
did not want the officers to learn that
he mad been in prison before, and the
second was to partly keep down the
disgrace and humiliation that he I'd
brought to his wife and child

Who'll Get the Benefit?

The railroads are spending a good
rates should be reduced, the middle
man will get all the profits, the con-
sumer paying the same prices as at
present. This is undoubtedly true, but
it is pointed out by friends of the ad-
ministration that this fact has nothing
to do with the general proposition of
giving the interstate commerce COM
mission the power to fix rates. the
administration does not figure that
rates are to be reduced by the whole
sale, nor that the consumer will reap
any considerable profit in cases where
they are reduced. The shoes manu-
featured by the governor of Massachu-
sets, for example, sell all over the
country at the same price. 1t costs
about two cents to ship a pair of these
shoes from the factory to San Fran
cisco. Should this rate be reduced 50
per cent, which, of course, is absurd,
or even should it be wiped out entirely,
the consumer would still pay the old
price. The manufacturer in this case
would reap the added profit. The ad-
ministration only undertakes to say
that rates should be more faily ad-
justed as between communities and
also as between commodities.
