RICHMOND. We. August n. 1910.
Republicans from southwest Virginia
who have been here during the last week
are expressing a good deal OF doubt as
to the reelection of Representative Slemp
in the ninth congressional district. In
fact, one OF the best known republicans
of Buchanan county said that his sec
ton was split in many ways and that he
expected to see q majority returned for
Henry c. Stuart. the democrat.
In Dickinson county the same condition
is declared to exist, and the best reports
from Lee county indicate that so little in
terest has been taken by republicans that
the chances are that Mr.. Stuart will get
a majority there. This result is said to be
due to the fact that Mr.. Slemp has made
some appointments which do not meet
with the favor of the rank and file of the
party in every instance. and 1t Is to show
this dissatisfaction that he is to be for
gotten on the day Of election and the
voters remain at home.
Then there is the assigned reason that
Mr.. Stuart Is man OF influence in AIS
section. Is wealthy. a successful business
man, has the confidence of men in every
walk of life, is identified In every way
with the progress and welfare of the sec
ton and has never been known to be
''stingy" and close when the needs Of the
poor Of his section are made known to
him.
The fact that he has been attacked by
some OF the politicians in that district
men who are known to have estates
worth more than 100000 and whose IN
come tax reports show absolutely noth-
ing-has served to strengthen him in some
quarters
The republicans have done less boastlng
this year than ever regarding the election
OF Mr.. Slemp, and some Of the best
informed men OF the party in this section
express the belief that they have a much
better chance in the fifth district than
they have in the NINTH They are saying
that Mr.. Parsons is getting in good work,
that Representative Saunders Is losing
ground and that his absence from the
state Is doing much to help Mr.. Parsons.
They even wink when they refer to Mr..
Saunders by reason of committee as
signment Is away from the state. leav-
ing the impression that when the Speak
er named the committee he did not over
look a compliment to the gentleman from
the fifth district and at the same time
recognized the fact that Mr.. Parsons
had a fight on and could get along very
well without the presence Of the distin-
guished Virginia member OF the Indian
land frauds inquiry.

Cruel Blow at Sponsors.

Whenever there has been q meeting OF
the Confederate veterans in the south or
in Virginia there has been the naming Of
the sponsors to represent the various
camps and the grand camp. That is. how
ever. a thing of the past. The reunion
held at Mobile was the straw that broke
the camers back, and the death knell of
the sponsors-that is. the large numDer
Of them-was sounded.
1t is no secret that for some time they
have been engrossing all attention, en-
tailed heavy charges on the committees
for. entertainment cost much for car
riages for the parades, provoked all sorts
OF strife and bitterness as to who should
and who should not be appointed. and
in many instances young women have
been named whose fathers were never
nearer q battle than civil positions in tho
service OF the states.

Revenue Officers Numerous.

Revenue officers from all parts Of the
country have been here In large numbers
for several days. but their mission here
is one which is not being extensively ad-
vertised. In fact, the revenue officers do
little else than admit that there are some
few officers here for q few days. but
right there they stop. It Is known that
new men. ostensible buyers OF liquor. and
others have been seen in the vicinity Of
some of the distilleries hereabouts for
some time.
they have also been investigating the
transactions Of local saloon men. who
have been ordering malt liquors for clubs
and other places. and some Of these have
been reported for wholesaling malt LIQUORS
and have been called on to explain. Some
have done so, and the cases have been. It
is understood, referred to Washington for
action. There is an impression that some
of the revenue men have been sent here
to watch the operations OF other revenue
men, there having been many reports Of
irregula rites in and around this city for
some time past. To whatever the reason
may be due. the distillers and dealers are
apparently much concerned over the ar
rival OF SO many new men In the city at
one time.

Head Tax Is Raised.

I'VE shall move upon the local church
for the development of the same as a
missionary force through a missionary
committee elected by the church confer
ence This committee shall be charged
with the development Of the missionary
intelligence of the church, with cO-opera-
ton with the pastor in raising the mis-
sionary assessments upon the charge and
with developing larger missionary lib
crafty among the people, the goal being
an average of at least 81 per capita. This
we do not regard as an extravagant ideal.
and hereby pledge our hearty cO-opera-
ton with our pastors in our effort to real
ize the same.
1.-The plan which seems best adapted to
the development Of the church In sys-
tematic and proportionate giving Is the
every-mennber campaign. with weekly Of
ferings for missions, which means offer
ings on a weekly basis even when paid
by another method, using the duplicate
envelope in making same.
I'VE recommend that our energies be
directed specifically toward raising the
regular assessment for missions and the
early development of the church to a
point of ltberaiity far beyond the assess
ment mark. To this end we recommend
that the every-member campaign be SUBJ
stituted as speedily as possible for the
occasional and public collection in every
charge"
Services will be held in many churches
today by ministers attending the confer
ence. Bishop Wilson win preach in Mount
Vernon Church where the conference love

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

The campaign for the Governorship
has been started by the announce
ment of Former Governor Hoie Smith
that he will be in the race :and the en-
trance of Attorney General John c. Hart
whose announcement was made in the
afternoon papers of Monday and struck
the politicians of both sides like bolt
of lightning:from a clear sky.
The issues between Smith and Brown
are well understood. Judge Hart has
not announced his platform, except to
say in substance that he enters the race
from a sense of duty, to still the turbu-
lent waters of Georgia politics, He
says he entered the race without consul
tation with any one.
The convention will nominate under
the majority rule: If neither Brown
nor Smith has over half the delegates
Judge Hart may, hold the balance of
power and either force the nomination
of himself or name the next Governor.
That is the situation and we explain it
SO that our readers may fully understand
the bearing Judge Harts candidacy
may have OH the result. Under similar
circumstances some years Henry d.
Mcdaniel was nominated, although at
no time before the final ballot did he de-
velop a strength of more than thirty-fve
or thirty-six votes.
We again express the hope that our
readers will help to make this as quiet
a canpaigm as possible by refraining
from heated discussions Let us keep
cool for few weeks and not increase
or intensity the bitterness that has come
down from previous campaigns We
have duties as citizens and neighbors
that require cordial good feeling and
we must not lose sight of those things
even in so important matter as the Sc
lection of a Governor, for Georgia will
go on no matter who is elected, but the
scars of the campaign, if the wounds
are made, will remain here in Cobb. We
hope there will be none.

The dining room was in white and

How often DO you
eat this food?

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection of
the foods you eat.
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but if the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS a matter of fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean
illness and purity, of all oatmeals.
