GET READY TO ANSWER THE CENSUS MAN :,
It Will Facilitate Matters if You Will Over the Family
Bible Prior to April 18th. Information
Will Be Strictly Confidential

Boosters, who have padded the
ronnlation of their cities, are about
n he rudely awakened from their
dreams to stare into the face of that
commodity known as fact And, like
q shower bath after a mile race, the
awakening will be somewhat of a
check to some of them who have
been prone to add an additional few
thousand to the already over-padded
noDulations of some of the towns.
However, April the 18th is the day
which will show whether or not John
Smith is a resident of Georgia or
Texas. and whether or not he has
ever voted, paid his tax or had in
sanity in his family. Some of the
questions the census people will ask
may seem foolish, but they are
absolutely necessary to an intelli-
gent census. taking, and you might
as we'll get out the family Bible and
see exactly how old Mary would have
been if she had lived thirteen years
longer. Many family Bibles, dust
covered and moth eaten, must be
taken from the shelf and the original
family records aired for the benefit
of the enumerator. There need be
no fear in showing him the record,
because he has taken an oath not to
tell anybody, so the secret won't get
out in the village. With the energy
and acumen characteristic of the
busy man or woman, he or she will
approach your domicile, and before
you realize it you will have answered
the following questions:
What is your house number?
What is your name?
The names of the members of your
family?
What is the relationship of these
people to you?
How old are you?
Are you single, married, widowed
or divorced?
How long have you been married,
if at all?
How many children have you?
Where were you born?
Where was your father born?
Your mother?
How long have you been in this
country?
Are you naturaliZed?
Can you speak English? If not,
what can you speak?
What is your occupation?
Are you employed or an employer?
We're you out of work April 10,
1910?
How long were you out of work
in 1909?
Can you read and write?
Do you own or rent your home?
Any mortgage?
Are you a survivor of the Union
or Confederate navy or, army?
Are you blind? One or both eyes?
Are you deaf or dumb?
April 18th will witness the inau-

For State Treasurer.

To the People of Georgia.: The
Honorable Pope Brown having de-
clined to become a candidate to sue
coed himself as State Treasurer I
hereby announce myself a candidate
for that Office, subject to the action
of the Democratic party at the APP
preaching primary for the selection
of State House officers. My candi-
dacy is based on my qualifications to
fill the office of State Treasurer, as
demonstrated by long and faithful
service formerly in that capacity,
from which Office l voluntarily re-
tired several years ago on account
of ill health. My health having been
restored would like to fill the Office
again, and to that end 1 beg the sup
port of the people. Respectfully,
VIM. j. SPEER.

PORT RATES BOB UP AGAIN
WILL TELL FATE OF
MOVEMENT FOR ATLANTA.
Election of Railroad Commissioners
Will Bring the Question Again
Before the People.

Will Bring the Question Again
Before the People.
ATLANTA.-There is growing ac-
cumulating evidence that the ques-
ton of port rates is going to cut
much figure in this years state cam
paign.
The latest cumulative evidence is
the appearance of a two-column ed
ltorial in that paper which has posed
as the organ of the so-called ere
form" element, reviving the port rate
issue, and demanding the enactment
of that policy.
The Atlanta mercantile interests
which have been insistent upon the
subject OF port rates are, too, again
becoming active. They are discuss
ing the subject generally; they are
getting in line for another fight.
They believe that there is Justice and
equity of port rates, and It is their
opinion that once the railroad COM
mission grants them it's action will
be promptly sustained by the courts.
There are three railroad commits
sloners to be elected this year, and
II the port rate party can land two
of them it will then have a majority
on the commission.
Chairman H. W. Hill, who is op-
posed to port rates, and Commission
er George Hillyer, who is for port
rates, will remain members of the
board. Commissioners Joseph F.
Gray and o. B. Stevens, who are OPP
posed to port rates, and c. NJ Cand-
Ter, who is for port rates, must go
before the people this year for re-
election.
II the port rate party can elect
Commissioner Gambler and defeat one
of the others with a port rate candi-
date it will have won-so far as the
commission is concerned.
The port rate problem will proba-
bly, figure, too, as an issue in the
race for governor; but that is not it's
real battlefield. Hoke Smith was
elected governor and secured a COM
mission with a majority favorable
to his policies, yet he was not able
to put through port rates.
If they are to be enacted it must
be done through the railroad COM
mission. That is the battlefield
where the port rate issue is to be
really fought out this year.
And then if the "'por traters" win
it will be on to the courts, with what
result only time can tell.

 Royal" at Forest Park.

Every detail has been arranged for the game between the Bankers and the
 Cotton Buyers this afternoon at For est Park. Much is expected from this game for at the last contest the Bankers were badly beaten by the strong Cotton Buying team. It is believed that the Bankers have been undergoing hard practice in the back yards and are going to get revenge this afternoon. The game will be called at 3:3O o'clock, and all fans are invited to attend. No admission will be charged. The two teams have made arrangements with the street car people to run cars through to the park for the benefit of the fans on this occasion, and instead of stop ping two blocks this side of the park, as usual, the cars will run to the park.

KILLS HIMSELF TO
 SPITE SWEETHEART
Hot Springs Business Man Takes Morphine in Carrying Out Threat
 of Suicide.

Hot Springs, May 27.-(SpeciaD- H. M. Mueller, prominent business man of this city, and owner of a con- trolling interest in the Frank Shoe Company was found in dying condi- tion at his room at the Pullman Hotel this morning by his partner, Clyde An thony. Scattered about the floor were particles of powder resembling morphine. It is supposed that Muel- Ter had taken a large dose of mor- phine I-snN
 His condition was so serious that he could not given any explanation of the deed, and few minutes after he was discovered by MT. Anthony death ended his agony. An inquest was held and the verdict returned by the jury was that Mueller had come to his death from morphine poisoning, ad- ministered with suicidal intent.
 No note was left as to the reason for the act of Mueller. He was about 52 years old and had resided in Hot Springs for several years. He had considerable property here in addi- tion to his interest in the Frank Shoe Company.
 To Spite His Sweetheart.
 It is believed the act was due to a threat said to have been made by Mueller yesterday and on the previ- ous day to the effect that he would kill himself unless his fiance consent ed to nurse him through his recov- cry from protracted spree.
 Mueller was to have: been married early in June. It is said that he bad been drinking rather heavily of late, but was recovering from the effects and wanted the woman to whom he was engaged to act as nurse during his recovery. She refused. Yesterday he made the request a second time, and on her second refusal he declar- ed he would kill himself.
 The deceased has sister living in Dallas and another sister and brother in California. The remains will prob- ably be sent to nallas.
