 Managers of Campaigns.
CLAIMS ARE VERY STRONG
BY LAUREN FOSEMAN.

Atlanta Ga., May 12.-(Special. )--Gov- ernor Snlth's campaign managers here are making the most desperate efforts to get Fulton county back into line for him, and, according to reports, no stone is be- ing left unturned to that end.
 One of the leaders in the Governor s camp is reported to have made the state ment at the capitol today that they had already spent 5000 canvassing the regis tration lists of Fulton county, had them indexed on the card system, and knew practically how every voter in the county would cast his ballot Based upon the work that has been done in this direc- ton, he expressed the opinion that the Governor would carry Fulton county by a small majority.
 It is common talk on the streets that a number of Atlanta's well-known political workers who know the ward game from A to z, have been employed in thei Gov ernor's behalf, whether with his khowl- edge or not is not stated, and that these are busy doing their best to get the voters in line. Similar reports have been had from a number of other counties in the state, and, according to all accounts, esti- mates of campaign expenses will have to be considerably revised for systematic

HER FEET WERE SORE AND CRACKED
Soles Seemed as Though Covered
 with Knife Cuts Could Not Bear Weight of Feet Even on Pillow - Was Long Unable to WaIk-Many Remedies Failed Now Cured.
WILL PRAISE CUTICURA
 AS LONG AS SHE LIVES

"Some four years ago had the mis- fortune to have my feet get sore. The doctors could not tell me what it was. I used everything could hear or think of but all to no avail. The feet were all cracked across the bottom as if you had taken knife and cut them every whichway. They would peel up, and, oh, my! how they did hurt when 1 would try to walk - which was not able to do for long time. One day one of our neighbors came to our house and asked what was the matter. I showed him my feet and he said he had some Cuticura Ointment which would heal them up. There was only enough to apply once, but found it helped me so much that I sent for set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills, costing one dollar, and to my great joy, my feet were cured and have never troubled me since. shall praise Cuticura as long as l live for the great help it has been.

 committee on constitution and bylaws. The emergency committee comprises the officers. An additional committee, includ- ing Gen, Rufus N. Rhodes, Mrs. Caba- miss and Mrs. Charles A. Stillman, was appointed to arrange for membership lists, which they hope to have opened at the different banking houses in the city.
 The soliciting of members for such a so- cety as the Red Cross is not considered especially in keeping with it's importance and with its position as a department of the national government. It's very pur- poses make it rather privilege to con tribute to the national fund.- the subscrip- tions now reaching well into the millions In organizing the first branch of the so- ciety in Birmingham it is hoped that the membership will soon be increased to sev- eral hundred. The annual dues are only one dollar.
 This small amount makes membership in the society possible to all, and makes such a society devoid of cliques or mon- eyed exclusiveness. The principles of the Red Cross, emphasized at the meeting yesterday, appealed in their broadest sense to the audience in Mrs. Cabaniss living room.
 The Society of the Red Cross started with membership of representative men and women. Business and professional men have become leaders in the move- ment In the lists appear the names of Birmingham women who are always fore most in work affecting the welfare of the community.
 A Red Cross society will enable this dis trict to be supplied. through the national society, with an efficient and immediate system of relief
 The society is considered fortunate in the selection of Dr. Stagg as president. His work in the Virginia mine disaster and his recent measures of relief for the victims of the cyclone were but another instance of his ability in handling such situations.
 The following is a complete list of mem- bers enrolled yesterday:
 Mrs. Dita H. Kinney of Washington, Mrs L. J. Haley, MT and Mrs. Edward H. Cabaniss, MT. and Mrs. c. P. Orr, MT. and Mrs. Charles o. Locke Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Stillman, MT. and Mrs. l.. K.

 The hundred or more distinguished vis- iting women, who are in Birmingham to attend the annual convention of the Ala bama division, Daughters of the Com federacy, were entertained last evening The al fresco features were an additional attraction and the balmy evening made them delightful.
 Besides the many Daughters present the invitation lists including the mem bers of the different chapters in the city and district, there were present members of Camp Hardee and Camp Clayton.
 The reception was informal, no formal receiving line being arranged, but the state officers and the officers of the hostess chapter made up a brilliant re- ceiving party.

Whack at the Journal.

Is what is being done.
 Whack at the Journal. The Journal has taken another whack at the Joe Brown Fulton County club and publishes sworn statement of Joseph w. Hill, compiler of the city directory, to the effect that only 1865 of the 66S4 names pub lfshed as members of the club are regis
 tered voters. Mr. Hill further states that 40S6 of the names do not appear in the city directory for 1908
 MT. Browns campaign manager, J. R. Smith, replies to this that MT. Hills state
 ment only shows the incompleteness and the lack of value of the city directory Every name on the list, he asserts, is the name of a bona fde citizen of the county and the only errors made were few du- plications in hurried preparation for pub lcation Furthermore, MT. Smith calls attention to the fact that because the city directory is the product of non-union la
 bor, the laboring people of Atlanta, who
 are practically solid for MT. Brown, won't have anything to do with it, and do not permit their names to go into 1t when they can help it.
 Great display has been made of the of fer of reward of $250 by President B. H.
 Blount of the Fulton County Hoke Smith club for information that will lead to the
 conviction of any person offering to buy
 or sell vote in the primary of June 1. Nothing is said, however, as to the em-
 ployment of political workers, and re- ports have it that not a few of these are already busy.
 Grafters Are Busy The gubernatorial candidates, both of them, it is said, are suffering from the grafters, who are numerous There is plenty of the man who wants to borrow money that he never expects to repay, in , sums of $1 up; of the man who wants his note indorsed with the prospect that the indorser will have to settle when due, and then all the way through the list to the churches that want contributions for va rious purposes, and there are not few of these. The churches which do that sort of business know they have a good thing in the politicians, particularly if they are candidates, and they generally get what they go after.
 But little more than three weeks remain
 until the primary. Just now there appears
 to be somewhat of a lull in the cam paign. Both sides are said to be holding some "sockdologers'' in reserve, and it is
 expected the final fire will be hot and heavy.
