reasons that it takes too much time
from his private business, besides
he finds that the canvass Of the state

that he does not desire to make a

1t is with much regret that the
friends of Hon. w. A. Blount learn
that his physical condition for the
past four weeks has been so severe
as to demand that he withdraw from
the race as a candidate for the i'm

be questioned, and his chance for
election, so far as we wereN able to
discern, were exceptionally good. His

When you hear the knocker shout,
just pull a brick, is the advice of the
Tampa Tribune. That, we suppose,
means a real building brick, not one
of the wooden brick with which the
streets of Pensacola are being paved.
We agree with the Tribune, a paper
teetotally opposed to everything and
everybody not favorable to Florida.
The heaviest brick in the brickyard is
the proper article with which to swat

The meanness of this man Cook
keeps on growing. Now the men who
know him best admit the Arctic ex-
plorer never supported his wife and
family, that he permitted Mrs. Cook
to exhaust her patrimony to help him
fit out polar expeditions, and that
when his lectures and his book COM
menced to turn him in money in heavy
quantities he refused pointblank to
make the partner of his hopes and
ambitions good for the cash she had
advanced him.. We think we shall
have to give up Cook. He appears to
have lied to all civilization and he
cheated the woman that stood by him.
No wonder he ran away. The last re-
sort of the coward and the sucker is
always flight. Decent Americans are
justified in their hope that he viii not
hurry back.

Florida Has Tackled
The Hookworrn Pest.

The Florida state board of health
ought to have something to report to
this months Atlanta hookworm con-
vention. 1t is prosecuting the most
vigorous campaign possible with the
funds at its command. The state
health officer, DR.. ]. Y. Porter, has put
much time and all possible medical
research into the communication late
ly mai'ed to every physician in the
state, asking their cooperation in the
effort that he and the board are max
ing to put down the troublesome para
site which is sapping so much good
necessary health and vitality among
otherwise successful people in the
country regions.
For the past two months a state Of
ficer has been working the southern
part of the state, offering treatment
without charge to parents for their
children in cases where microscopic
examination has shown them to be in
fected with the parasite. Other doc
tors for the same class of work will
be put into the field shortly and DR..
Porter evidently expects some of the
local practitioners to take a hand, al
though it is net yet quite clear what
he wishes them to do in the boards
hookworm crusade.
We expect that when the Rookie
Teller commission meets at Atlanta in
10 days the state officer detailed to
hookworm investigation and treatment
in Florida will tell what he has done
while hookworm theorists from over
the country, North as well as South,
are telling what they wish and hope
to do.

Census Director Durand has decided
that in districts two-ffths or more

negro enumerators, but that in dis
tricts dominantly white the white
enumerator shall be the only one On
the job. He says that negroes I'M
questionably are better qualified to
gather census data from their own
people" but that sit is not desirable
that in the South negroes enumerate
white families, for negro enumerators
could not obtain such accurate Stats
tics from white families as white
enumerators could" Director Durand
has all along made it plain that the
census bureau would not force black
enumerators down the Threats of white
people, as now and then a previous di-
rector has done. Sensible Southern
people are perfectly willing to agree
win Mr.. Durand that more informa-
ton can be gotten from negroes by
enumerators Of their own color than
by white enumerators, and the fear
that white people would be "censused''
by negroes has proved groundless.

CHICAGO Is VISITED

CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-One of the heav-
lest rain storms of the year accompanied
by a wind OF almost hurricane velocity
prevailed in Chicago and vicinity early
this morning.
At $3.50 1t Is estimated the wind blew at
a rate of more than 80 miles an hour,
tearing down signs, uprooting shade
trees and demolishing a number Of small
wooden structures in outlying districts.
Much damage was done by the heavy
rain, sewers being choked and many
easements flooded.
There was a drop of II degrees In tenn
perature in less than an hour.
At a. m. the thermometer registered
so degrees and at a. m. the mercury
had dropped to 6S.
The storm was central over northern
Wisconsin and from GAINESVILLE reports
came of heavy damage by wind and
rain.
Although no reports of marine disas-
tiers have come to life saving stations
along Lake Michigan. 1t is feared that
the suddenness of the storm on the lake
may have caused distress to shipping.

WOULD BAR GUBERNATORIAL
CANDIDATES WITHOUT VOTE

A resolution was adopted by the Full
ton county Democratic executive COM
mittee at noon Wednesday asking the
next general assembly Of Georgia to en-
act a law requiring ouis-uecandidates
for governor to present a petition signed
by certain number of bona fide voters
before they can make the race.
The resolution follows:
ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. "a, 1910.
Whereas, 1t appears from the results
of the primary held on August q that.
many voters failed to strike two names
from the list of candidates for governor
and. for this reason, their ballots were
rejected, and
Whereas, this result was occasioned,
in large measure, from lack of atten-
ton or interest in the candidacy of one
Of the candidates and such confusion was
occasioned by the entrance of this cam
didate without any substantial number of
supporters behind him and this result
should be avoided in the future:
T" erefore, be 1t resolved by the Demo
cratic executive committee OF Fulton
county, That we recommend to the gener-
al assemly of the state of Georgia to en-
act a law whereby the name of no candi-
date shall be entered on the official list
or ballot, either in the general election
or primary election, unless such candi-
date for governor shall first submit to
the authorities in charge OF such cleo
lions list of voters indorsing his candi-
dacy and that such list shall be OF suffi-
Client number. as named by the general
assembly. to prevent the entrance of a
candidate either for the purpose of con-
fusion or for advertising purposes or be-
cause of personal eccentricity.

LATEST CONGRESSIONAL AND
OTHER RETURNS IN THE STATE
HON. HOKEs SMITH ISSUES
STATEMENT. TO THE PUBLIC

Governor-elect Hoke Smith today gave
out a simple statement concerning his
victory at the polls on Tuesday. He
thanks the people personally for the
compliment paid him, but says his per-
sonal pride is of little Importance as
compared with the principles for which
the people voted. -s r.-
The victory" he says. was not that
of any one man. but of the people of the
state"
Mr.. Smith counsels consideration to-
ward those who opposed the principles
without understanding just what they
meant.
The statement follows:
II can not too strongly express my
appreciation to those splendid Georgians
who carried the night for Progressive
Democracy. 1 thank them personally
for the compliment they have paid me.
but this is Of no Importance compared
to the principles which yesterdays cleo
ton will establish in Georgia.
The victory was not that Of any one
man. but of the people of the state.
while we must be unfaltering IN de-
votion to the policies which we have
professed, we cannot be too considerate
to many OF our opponents who have

voted against Progressive Democracy
without understanding just what we
meant.
I'VE should now, without any. effort to
-tantalize or mortify them at their de-
feat. seek lovingly to show them that
our principles are really those in which
they believe, and that they were not
with us because they did not understand
them.
The election of yesterday will not
bring it's proper result to the people of
Georgia If IL means simply that I am to
I'LL the governors chair for two years.
I'VE should seek to convince the great
body of voters of Georgia that our prin-
ciples are right, and In this way we will
prevent the possibility of another hard
struggle two years from today, and will
insure the election OF a governor and
legislature two years hence In accord
with the policies of Progressive Dem
ocracy.
Our aim should be to establish these
principles in the hearts and minds of so
overwhelming a majority of the voters
OF the voters OF the state that reaction
airy candidates will be entirely unable
to produce another contest like that
through which we have just passed"

Charles I. Branan, a member of the ex-

ton, and made a few remarks stressing
the necessity for such law. He said
such law is already in force in a num-
Der of states. He pointed out that thou
sands of votes had to be scratched Tues
day because they showed only one name
scratched. The friends of both Governor
Brown and Hoke Smith are complaining
because their candidates lost votes, he
said.
While he did not mention the name of
Z. H. Walker, of College Park, the third
candidate for governor, and the man
whose name on the ticket unQuestionably
caused the confusion and loss of ballots.
and while the resolution does not mem
ton him, both the remarks of Mr.. Bran
an and the resolution apply to him
alone.
The meeting Of the executive commit
tee was called for the purpose of formal
ly confirming the election returns from
Fulton county. Chairman Joe e. Mad
dox presided. The formal resolutions
confirming the nominations Of county
and state officials were passed.
In addition to the above stated resolu-
ton a resolution was adopted asking
the Fulton county delegation in the'nexr
general assembly, and the senator from
this district, to carry out the will of
the people expressed at the polls in re-
ference to the fee system of compensa-
ting county officials, by having a bill
enacted with a local application abolish
ing fees in Fulton county and putting
these officials on the salary system.

WALKERS CANDIDACY
COST SMITH MANY VOTES

The candidacy for governor Of Mr..
Edward H. Walker, Of College Park,
cost Hoke Smith not less than a doz-
en- counties and thousands Of popular
votes, according to the managers of
the Smith campaign. Thousands of
ballots thatwere intended for Mr..
Smith, 1t is claimed, were thrown out
and not counted, because the Smith
men, in their haste, failed to scratch
Mr.. Walkers name.
The names Of the gubernatorial can
didates were alphabetically arranged on
the ballots as follows:
Joseph NJ. Brown.
Hoke Smith.
Il. H. Walker.
The Smith men generally went to
the polls thinking only OF Brown and
Smith. Many OF them, 1t is claimed.
knew nothing OF Mr.. walkers candi-
dacy, and his name being the last
on the tickets, was overlooked and
left unscratched. 1t was the most nat
ural thing for a Smith man to strike
the name of Brown, fold his ballot and
turn it in without ever having noticed
Mr.. Walkers name.
Under the rules, 1t was obviously i'm
possible for the managers to count the
ballots on which the names of both
Smith and Walker appeared. because
they had no way of knowing whether
the voter really preferred Walker to
Smith, or whether, through inadver-
lance, he had failed to scratch Walkers
name.
