a psos~Ac4 OF a DEADLOCK

Hon. P. A. Stovall, one of Chat
ham county's able representatives,
discusses the probability of a
deadlock in the State Convention
in September for the nomination
of Governor. Mr.. Stovall is Cup
on the scene" so to speak, and his
opinions are worthy of careful con-
sideration. In reviewing the sit
uation hesays:
every evidence now points to
the probability that there will be
a deadlock in the state Democratic
convention. The chance that a
nomination will be made on the
first ballots now remote. Shrewd
observers, who have looked over
the field, and have sized up the sit
uation, realize that in the conflict
ing claims of candidates there is
no possibility of coming to an
agreement before several ballots
are taken.
"This means that in the primary
to be held on the twenty-second of
August the people of Georgia will
not make any choice.
I'm the absence of a second pri-
mary the convention will have to
complete the work and the dele
gates will be called upon, out of
the names before them or from
other candidates who may be
/ brought in, to make their nomina-
ton for governor.
cat one time it looked as if
some one of the candidates who
had long lead might triumph at
the polls; but now. the closest OBJ
servers agree that no one man will
get more delegates than all the rest
combined, and unless this is done
there can be no possible chance for
choice on the first ballot.
Colonel EstilI will probably
carry forty counties; Col. James
NJ. Smith is believed to be able to
hold twenty; Judge Russell will
have ten, probably; and Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Howell will divide the
rest.
GAS there are one hundred and
foIty-fve counties in Georgia it
will be seen that it is not possible
for any one man to control a clear
majority at the outset. With
deadlock convention the result will
be anybody's fight, and South
Georgia stands just as good a
chance to put a candidate in the
state house as any other section.
"The news about the state capt.
tol in Atlanta is that the conven-
ton is bound to be a tie-up.
What will happen when this is &C
c0mplished no man can foresee.
Several prominent gentlemen of
Georgia, whose names have not
been mentioned, are smiling COM
placently and calculating their
chances, while everybody is guess

The Pcrsians still believe that human
tears are a remedy for certain chronic
diseases. At every funeral the b0ttling
of mourners' tears is one of the chief
features of the ceremonies. Each of
the mourners is presented with a
sponge with which to mop off his face
and eyes, and after the burial they
are presented to the priest, who
squeezes the tears into bottles, which
he keeps This custom is one of the
oldest known in the east and has prob
ably been pracliced by the Persians
for thousands of years. Mention is
