The play is said to be well written
and contains a great deal of local at
mosphere of the most pleasing sort. 1t
has been equipped with unusually eff
fective and expensive settings. The
cast engaged is a strong one, headed by
Edward Morgan
to give play it's initial performance in
the particular section of the country
with which the story happens to deal.

The burden of comment on jiu jitsu,

with its relation to boxing and wres-

contest in which a jiu jitsu expert op-
posed either a boxer or a wrestler. 1

JOE TALKS GovERNoRsHlP

An Atlanta special to the Savan-
nah News gives out this startling
information:
"HOn. Joe Hill Hall of Bibb is
in the city, attending the Supreme
Court. Mr.. Hall stated today that
his party, which he said included
Murphy Gambler of De Kalb, Judge
Akin of Barlow, Seaborn Wright
of Rome, Emerson George of Nor
gan, Mr.. Knight of Berrien, Tom
Fielder of Bibb and several others,
would hold a conference during the
coming session of the Legislature
and determine whom they would
put out as candidate for Governor,
representing the principles for
which Mr.. Hall and others have
stood in legislative halls.'
This political pointer reads all
right, not a break in the line save
one, wherein the name of Tom
Watson is eliminated. Surely this
coterie of excellent gentlemen and
state reformers will not give Tom
Watson the "marble heart" when
this caucus meets. To be sure they
will not, for he is the crafty wise
political dad of this entire gener-
alton in Georgia.
