THE VALUE OF WHISPERS.
New York Campaign Shows the I'm
pOrtance of the Bewhiskered
Gentleman.

The expression, "eat 'em up, whis-
kers," was probably not born of
derision, but of belief that the man
with beard was more than match
for the clean-shaven man.
Just why the bewhiskered gentle
man is considered of more import
ance than those of us who use the
razor is not known, but it is true.
Take the New York campaign.
Hughes has a tough looking set of
whiskers, but they made him votes.
Hearst is a pleasant looking, clean
shaved man, but this one fact lost
him votes
The Savannah News as follows
tells what part Mr.. Hughes whis-
kers played in the campaign:
Candidate Hughes came near los
ing a number of votes on the east
side, New York city, on account OF
his whiskers. Some of his enemies
circulated the report that Mr.. Hughes
was practicing deceit; that his whisS
kers were not real, but were only
worn on the east side to please the
bewhiskered denizens of that section,
and that they were removed when
ever he went elsewhere to speak.
Then some of Mr.. Hughes friends
got busy and got some of the repre-
sentative east-siders to examine the
whiskers and convince themselves
that they were real and to so report
TO the displeased voters"

The best that has yet been done
in north Georgia is in the Seventh
district. where cash and land aggre-
eating approximately $4,000 were
given.
In the Fifth district the meeting

Others in north Georgia have not

LONG ISLANDS NEW DISEASE
Begins With TremOr and Ends in
Suicidal Dementia. New YOrk's
Board of Health to InVestigate.

Board of Health to Investigate.
The New York World says the
state board of health is about to
undertake an investigation as to the
origin of strange disease called
hereditary chorea," which appears
to be gradually spreading into New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut
from some point located on the east
ern end of Long Island.
The disease is sometimes called
1.-The Magrums." Of the cause of the
complaint little is known beyond the
very positive influence of heredity.
Rheumatism or hysteria until re-
Gently were considered as among the
causes. Age plays a considerable
part. Locality seems to be a strong
factor, which is and always has been
epidemic in some places on Long Is
land and in Connecticut. Numerous
autopsies have been made by skilled
observers without finding, even un-
der the microscope, any constant
lesion which might indicate the
cause.
The disease first manifests itself
by irregular twitchings of the hands
or face, which slowly increase in Sc
verify and in frequency, and grad
ually extend to other parts of the
hOdv Turing SIeen thew cease It
may easily be mistaken for locomo-
tor ataxia. Many of those afflicted
have a suicidal tendency, but it is
a curious circumstance that most of
these attempts have failed. Toward
the end the patients fall down when
they try to walk and have delusions.
The mind at last becomes dumb to
sensation, and death is produced by
exhaustion. The disease runs its
course in ten to thirty years.

SOUTH GEORGIA PROSpERS

The state as a whole is expe-
