HuIIARD BOYS FOOLED
Expected Gift of Club Pins Hut sorely
 Disappointed

A rather amusing feature of All Fools day was brought to light at the meet ing of the Hilliard Literary society held yesterday afternoon at the High School. Just before the motion for adjournment was in order the chairman arose with d solemn face and calmly stated that a pleasant surprise was in store for the members. A large New York jewelry firm, he stated, had honored the Hilliard by sending a number of complimentary club pins to be distributed among mem bers of the society. It was only neces- sary, he further explained, for the presi- dent. the vice president and the third member of the executive board to pro ceed officially to the office of Principal C A. Brown and officially fetch the pins to the club. A president pro-tem. was ap- pointed and the three officials left the club chamber.
 After a recess of some 45 minutes the members began to get restless and a motion was made to appoint a committee of one to proceed to the principals of flee and ascertain what was keeping the official fetchers of the pins Blank con sternation prevailed on the faces of the length returned with the assurance that nothing was to be heard of pins or of Ificial fetchers.
 When someone suggested that the date was April 1 the club promptly adjourned

GOVERNOR BROWN
 IS FOND OF A JOKE

Atlanta, April 1.-CSpecialO O-"When your wife laughs at one of your jokes you can afford to tell 1t in a crowd v said Gov. Joseph Brown today, in mak- Ing denial of the statement in Who s Who,' in the Saturday Evening Post, that He Governor Brown) is intensely serious, rarely laughs, and never jokes. 5
 The governor admits that he is often intensely serious, but denies the rest. Mrs. Brown says that I am the biggest joke she knows anything about" said the governor. "But she Is only a woman and is not supposed to know everything. But she Is a woman of good judgment. for she laughs at my jokes. l don't believe in assault and battery upon a joke. There is subtier kind of joke people will appreciate as well as the other kind.
 If laughter really made a man fat. as the old saying. Laugh and grow fat runs, then I ought not to be able to en- ter the door of house."
 The govtSnor Is really fond of a joke. He is verr homely man. and he likes to joke about his uglness. This par ticularly appeals to him, because. he says, the homely party Is the strongest in any state, and that politically homeli- ness is a strong asset.

Fftzpat- rick of the Southern Association Amateur Athletic union vigorous complaint about the dropping by the Birmingham athletic authorities of the standing broad jump in the list of events for the annual spring games which will be held there in May. These clubs claim that, although not made ma ndatory by Amateur Athletic union rnles, the standing broad jump has al- ways been one of the events i'll Amateur Athletic union games in the south and that by it's omission the Birmingham peo- pie who framed the programme have dis crminated against New Orleans clubs, which have the majority of the athletes in the south.
 1'le Young Mems Gymnastic club ex- pected to win this event with Norman Shubert, last years winner, and the Phoenix Athletic club has just added to it's rolls s. Reynolds of Liberty, Miss, one of the best broad jumpers in the south. expecting to land the winners number of points in this event.
 President Fitzpatrick said: The major fly of the games committee of the Anna teur Athletic union in the south reside in New Orleans. The New Orleans vote was given to Birmingham. not to give athletics a little rest in New Orleans, but to give Birmingham chance to build Up the game. If they are going to dis criminate against us that way we won't lot Birmingham have the games any more as the New Orleans vote commands the situation"
 A meeting of the local members of the games committee will Ire held this week and 1t is expected that formal request will be made of the Birmingham people to add the standing broad jump to the list Of events.

ONLY OFFICIAL BALLOTS
 ALLOWED AT THE POLLS

It appears the impression has gone abroad that any kind of ballot will go at the democratic primary Monday, and Frank w. Smith, chairman of the sub committee on arrangements, has issued card stating that such would not be the case. Only the official ballot handed to the voter by the clerk in the polling place with the inspectors initial and the num- Der of the ballot will be accepted. ae- cording to this notice.
 MT. Smiths card reads:
 Some confusion having been caused by the impression that other ballots than the official ballot will be accepted by the inspectors of the election Monday next, l desire, to state as chairman of the sub committee on arrangements. that no bal lot. which can only be obtained from the
 inspectors of the election, with the initial or name of one of the inspectors and

number of the ballot on the stub will be received or counted. This is final and conclusive FRANK w. SMITH, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Ar rangements.'
 During the last two or three days the
 talk has been going the roads that any
 old ballot would go at the primary Mon- day. The confusion and opportunity for
 mix-up in the voting is readily appar- ent and MT. Smith has hastened to
 make things perfectly plain as to the
 ballot to be used. He has called meet ing of the subcommittee to be held at
 noon today in his office to take up the
 matter further
 The rumor caused quite a stir around some of the headquarters of different county candidates. and some of them had given notice that they would contest the election if other than the official bal let handed out by the inspectors was lused.
