HOKE SMITHS ELECTION
 ,'1'.....- -: ALMOST UNANIMOUS
Constitutional Amendment Providing for Court of Appeals Carries
 In Georgia.

Atlanta, October 3.-The regular state election held in Georgia today resulted in the practically unanimous election of the democratic nominees headed by Hoke Smith for governor. The only opposition to the democratic ticket were the so- cialists headed by J. B. Osborne.
 Returns received by the Constitution up to a late hour tonight show that the con- sttutional amendment providing for a court of appeals was carried, though a large vote was cast against 1t in some sections. Balloting all over the state was very light, and practically no interest was shown in the state ticket
 In the primary election to nominate judges for the new state court of appeals which was also held today there were sixteen candidates, which makes the counting slow Up to midnight the leaders were Richard B. Russell, H. c. Peoples and A. G. Powell. In the second division are probably B. H. Hill and F. C. Eos

WANT NO INCREASE
 IN RELIGIOUS PAPERS
REPRESENTATIVES, OF SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION APPEAR
 BEFORE COMMISSION IN NEW
 YORK TO PRESENT THEIR CASE.

New York, October 3.-A protest against any increase in the postal rates affecting publications issued by the several Sunday school societies was made by the Sunday School Editorial association today before the congressional postal commission on the revision of second-class mail matter now in session in this city
 Dr. J. A. Rowland, speaking for the as- sociation, said that twentytwo different publications were issued and distributed among the Sunday schools throughout the country He said they were published at very small profit and many of them at a loss. Where there was a profit he said it was invariably applied to benevolent pur- poses.
 R. IT. McGill of Richmond, for the same association, declared there was BIO, eco invested in the publication plans he rep resented The very small margin between the cost of publication and price would make it impossible to continue puplica- tion If the rate of postage was increased.
 "It would be a tax levied on the piety of Christianity" said MT MeGill. "and it Is hard to believe that the great United States government is in such financial straits that 1t will impose the tax"
 The Rev. R. H. Boyd of Nashville, a negro minister representing the National Baptist publication board, also protested against an increase in the postal rates for Sunday school publications. He said that the four publishing houses he repre- scented, all operated by negroes. circulate their publications among 100000 of the 100000 negroes in the United States The literature is furnished at the very cheap est price possible, he said. and any in crease in rates would result in a great diminution in circulation, and in some instances publication would have to cease altogether
 H. C. Wallace, representing a number of agricultural papers declared that these publications could not afford any increase in the rate.

Edith had been on the Sanders

happy. On this particular after
noon she had been picking black
berries in the pasture over near
the Grahams. AS she was return

of the bushes and she was so
startled at his arking that she
dropped asket, splitting all the ber-
ries. The dog was at once follow

IN THE Land WHERE YOU Have TO Rent A GRAVE If YOU
Die OR ELSE Be DUMPED ON GARBAGE Pile and BURNED
BY VICTOR M. HUGHES.

PANAMA, Sept. 19-The average
Panamaian burying ground wears
the sleek and prosperous air that
only large and steady patronage
can give, and at first glance you
are likely to feel that you could
rest as peacefully here as any
where. You have not yet learned
that, though you may be dead and
in your grave troubles are not end
ed in Panama.
To begin with, the grave is not
yours. The Panamanian way is to
lease a grave, and allow heir, rela-
tive or friend to pay the rent. II
the rent stops, open comes the
grave, back to earth comes that
which remains of you and soon you
are burning briskily with others of
your kind and some town rubbish
in the vacant lot back of the GENE
terry.
1t isn't because ruman bones
make bright burning that this is
done-for they don't, nor is the
heat needed-but graves are in de-
mand in Panama and ground where
the digging is good is scarce.
OF course in the canal zone con-
ditions are different. The Ameri-
can government gives very COM
modious grave with a really re-
spectacle headmark absolutely
free.
The streets Of Panama were
paved by the American govern
ment. five-mile macadamiZed
road to Sabanas was built by the
American government, three
mile similar road was built to La
Boca, and then came the bicycle.
Never before had native eyes fall
en- upon such a contrivance. The
jungle folk may waive much that,
civilization recommends, but they
took to the bicycle as naturally as
If it were something to drink. At
first only Americans rode the
wheels. Now one sees only ma
tives riding. The Americanos, I'M
used to the limited cycling terri
