GURR FILES APPLICATION.
Presents Endorsements to Governor
For Appointment to Judgeship.

] presents Endorsements to Governor
For Appointment to Judgeship.
Col. VIM. H. Gurr, who, as was
stated in The News sometime ago, is
an applicant for the Judgeship of the
City Court of Dawson, spent Thurs
day in Atlanta, and while there filed
his formal application with Governor
Brown, together with his endorse
ments for the position. Mr.. Gurr did
not circulate petition among the
people, but secured endorsements
only from members of the bar and
county and city officials.
Mr.. Gurr has been city attorney
for a number of years, and was an
enthusiastic supporter of Governor
Brown during the campaign of 1908.
He was largely instrumental in the
formation of the Terrell County Joe
Brown Club.
Judge NJ. C. Edwards, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Terrell and has
made an excellent record on the
bench, states that he has not de-
termined whether he will be an ap-
plicant for reappointment or not.
For the sOlicitorship of the court
the present incumbent, Hon. NJ. j.
Yeomans, is being opposed by Mayor
Dick Marlin.
The term of Office of both the Judge
and the solicitor is four years, and
the term of the present incumbents
will expire next December. 1t has
heretofore been the custom for the
governor to make the appointments
at the session Of the legislature i'm
mediately preceding the expiration of
the terms, but inasmuch as the ques-
ton of the adjustment of the court
is to be submitted to the voters of
the county at the time of the state
election in October there are those
who think the appointment of it's
officers should be deferred until it's
fate has been determined at the bal
lot box.
What VIII be done in the matter
remains to be seen.

All Diseases of Men and
Women Treated.

Deafness cured by an entirely new
system. No matter what your dis
ease may be, or how long standing,
the doctor will locate your disease
without asking you any questions.
The doctor is said to be the greatest
LUNG AND CATARRH specialist in
America. If you have catarrh or
lung trouble go and be examined.
The sick and afflicted should take ad-
vantage of the opportunity here Of
fered. Go and have it forever set
tied in your mind. If your case is
durable Dr. DickersOn will tell you
so frankly; if incurable he will give
you such advice as to prolong life.
No sick man or woman should fail
to consult this eminent man. 1t is
the greatest opportunity of the sick
mans life.
If you have rheumatism, liver, kid
ney or bladder trouble, paralysis,
heart disease, nervous debility, dys-
pepsia, indigestion, constipation, cpl
lepsy or st. Vitus' dance go and be
cured by his new system.
Cancers and tumors cured in their
early stages; structures, ulcers, all
blood, skin and scalp diseases, piles
and ruptures cured. DR.. DickersOn

cepts as durable.

may be or how long standing, if your
future health and happiness are at
stake, consult this doctor. He will
cure you, if you are durable.
Every kind of human i'll falls at
the touch of this wonderful man. and
so marvellous have been the cures
that it is hard indeed to find the
dividing line between human accom-
plishment and miracle. 1t matters
not what the i'll may be; it matters
not what discouraging reports may
have been made from any direction;
it matters not if you have been told
that grim death stares you in the
face, go and consult this doctor, and
If there is the finest thread upon
which to hang a hope you will find
that hope, and the hope will surely
lead you to the blue skies of peace
contentment and health.

In these days of modern baseball, but
such a thing would be possible IL any

Johnson, Walsh, Coombs and Ford

mound In asa innings and Ford IN
299 2-3. a total OF 1895 rounds, or 10

speaking terms with Jack Coombs'
drop curve are agreed that 1t Is the
most deceptive ball they have ever
tried to connect with.
Coombs, Johnson and Welsh are
possessed of truly wonderful ply
siques They have proven themselves
able to perform every third day,
while on a number OF occasions they
have gone to the mound after only
one days rest Ford is at his best
when worked every fourth day, al
though he has delivered a good brand
OF goods after two days rest. Thus
IL would seem that even though
double headers piled up on this quar-
tet they would be ready and eager
TO take their turn on the mound.
During the past season Ford, with
a second place team behind him, won
26 and lost six games, q percentage
of .s13. Coombs, working for the
pennant- winning Athletics, won 81
and lost nine games, q mark Of .77b'
Johnson, with the seventh position
Nationals, won 26 and lost IT, per
centage OF 1916, while Walsh, with the
sixth place White Sox, won Is and
lost 20, a mark of .474. This totals
100 victories and 81 defeats for the
four, q percentage OF 1858, which
would win a pennant nine times out
of ten in any old league.
or course, the Athletics won the
pennant last season with $50 rat
ing, but II must be remembered that
they had wonderfully strong team
on offense and defense. In fact there
have been no better teams In the
memory OF present day fans. Take
these four pitchers and put them TO
work with mediocre team, such us
tho Maps OF 1910. and the chances are
they would overcome the handicap
OF poor hitting and fair fielding and
land them In front.
