pIIN IS BREWING TROUBLE
PROTESTS LOOKED FOR FROM
THE COUNTRY COUNTIES.
o.,. the Majority Rule for the State
primaries. How 1t Will Operate
in Favor of Counties with
Rio Cities.


Although nothing may be heard OF
:. +his wear it is freely predicted in
no,itica1 circles, according to an At
ionta dispatch, that the majority plan
in state primaries as adopted by the
toto executive committee at last
weeks meeting, following the similar
action of the Macon convention Will
No heard from in no uncertain terms
sbouId it be persisted in.
# was the country counties, or
come of them, that protested lOudest
ogainst an early primary; it will be
the country counties, it is predicted,
which will finally rise up to smite
the majority plan.
As pointed out by well-knoWn
official, the majority plan in the pri-
mary giyes those counties containing
the cities, and hence the larger pop
Nation. a tremendous advantage
over the smaller and more sparsely
populated counties of the state. For
example Fulton, Chatham, Richmond
and Bibb counties contain approx
matelv 10000 votes, or as many as
thirty to fifty average country coun-
ties Each of these four counties is
entitled to only six votes in the state
convention, which makes it equal to
three country counties with two
votes. In the state convention,
therefore, these four counties are
equivalent in voting power to just
twelve country counties, while in
actual voting power they are equiv
alent to about four times that many.
Advantage for City Candidates.
If the plan of requiring the sue
cessful candidate in the primary to
secure a majority of the vote cast is
to prevail, therefore, it is apparent
that candidates from the more large
ly populated counties will have de-
cided advantage over those who offer
from the country counties in which
anywhere from 500 to 1000 votes
are cast.
1t was also suggested from the
same source that this majority plan
would offer a prolific field for politi-
cal combinations on the part of the
city candidates, who might be able,
in a measure, to control the vote in
their respective communities.
There may be nothing to occa-
sion any stir over the matter this
year or two years from now" he
said, but if this plan is persisted
in there is no question in my mind
that the row will come, and 1t will
be another case of country against
city. The result of it is in effect,
to nullify the present plan of conven-
ton representation, and as far as the
effect is concerned the various coun-
ties of the state might just as well
be given representation in the con-
yention on basis of population in
stead of according to representation
IN the legislature as at present.
Few Contests This Year.
AS there are to be few contests
This year it is hardly expected that
the majority plan will cause any stir
along the lines indicated.
The only contest of any moment
Is to be that for prison commissioner.

WHY Preacher Kept the Money.

In Missouri a certain preacher who
had collected $4,000 in the name and
for the benefit of a certain theologi-
cal. school and failed to turn it over
or account for it's being. sued In
defense he says that the school taught
as truths the story of Jonah and the
whale and the living of Adam and
Eve in the Garden of Eden, both of
which narratives he regarded as ficti-
tious; and for that reason he kept
the money!

A Eeman's Complexion.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasines:
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or "locap' treatment, as advocated
by the ''beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that a woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, puriies the
complexion It alss cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle
25 cents; regular size IS cents. Al

Unconscious Butt ms.

"Have you ever noticed" said the
melancholy man, chow it is the voca-
ton of certain people to get in the way
to be around when they are not want
ed? l suppose that if they were aware
of their calling they would feel badly
about it, but. as matter of fact they
never are aware of it, and this prob
ably explains why they keep at it.
"Take my brother-in-law, for in

Where Are the Old People?

1t is proper to speak Of man under
thirty as ':old man" in jocular way.
but after that it becomes dangerous.
AS for old ladies, they have long ago
disappeared. Thirty years ago it was
common in society and in print to
speak of an old man or an old lady
without meaning any disrespect or Civ
ing the least offense Now it is posi-
lively dangerous-in fact, isn't done.
Why this change?
Partly because the physical and
mental condition of the average person
is better than formerly. but principally
because people have decided not to
grow old. That settles it. We are
largely taken at our own valuation and
are not now disposed to make it low
one In this city are to be found many
men who retired from business a gen-
Grafton ago. It was once the custom
in this country, as it is now in Eng
land, that when a man had secured a
competence he retired from active work
and lived serenely. Nowadays it is sell
dom done. A competence now means
not all income of few thousand dol
lars, but an unlimited amount. There
are to be found multimillionaires
above eighty who are just as anxious
to make money as ever, and they seem
to be quite as Philadelphia
Inquirer.

SPURIOUS ANTIQUES.
Many Forgeries Clever Enough to De-
ceive the Experts.

Many Forgeries Clever Enough to De-
ceve the Experts.
In the manufacture of antiquities the
forger shows an ingenuity that is un-
limited. Furniture, prints, china, pic
lures, plate, armor, ivory, bronze.
tapestry-all are most successfully inli-
tated Many such limitations are, it
is true, clumsy enough, but a great
many deceive even the initiated. The
experts of national museums have been
imposed upon more than once.
The British museum bought Pals
sy plate for $3.50. While an attendant
was handling it one Of the seals at
tached to it's back, attesting its genu-
ineness, became detached, disclosing
the mark of a modern French potter.
Terra Gotta figures Of Isis and Osiris,
bought by the same institution for
thousands of dollars, were discovered
to be composed of modern clay. There
is one forger of antiquities whose spe-
cialty is old leather jacks; another pro-
duces horn books; still another turns
out medieval manuscripts; fourth,
clerical vestments of the middle ages,
and so on.
An expert of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition was called upon not long ago to
pass upon specimen of mummy
servant, an effigy, in plastic material,
such as the Egyptians buried with
their dead. Close examination proved
1t to be made of putty. 1t was a very
clever forgery.
Count Tyskiewiez, a noted judge and
collector of antiquities, gives some in
teresting details of the forgeries that
have been attempted from the earliest
times No metal lent itself so easily
to this work as gold Etruscan jewelry
has been largely manufactured in
Italy, but Syria has carried on the
most extensive forgery of gold works
of art. Forgeries in silver have been
less successful.
A good story is told of a forged sill
yer cup in Rome that purported to
have come from some secret excava-
ton in Sicily. This ancient cup was
ornamented with a circular bas-relief
representing the frieZe of the Parthe-
non In the height of his innocence the
forger had given the frieZe in its pres
ent ruined condition. The cup obtained
an immediate success-shouts of laugh.
