Monroe County Will
Give Smith Majority

FORSYTH, Ca, Aug. 22.-Hundreds and
hundreds of voters from all over Mon
roe county gathered in the court house
Saturday to hear Hon. B. F. Hill, repre-
sentative of Monroe county, speak on
"Ciyic Righteousness" The house was
crowded to overlooking, the aisles were
filled and many of the citizens stood on
the outside and cheered. Mr.. Hill mas
been the representative for the past two
terms, but he is not running for another
term. He is waging a campaign for
clean politics, clean voting and he has Tor
his motto, Special privileges to none'
equal rights to ALL
The voters cheered Mr.. Hill from start
to finish, and when he mentioned Mr..
Smiths name, the audience rose and
cheered for several minutes 1t is believ-
ed that Hoke Smith will carry Monroe
county by a huge majority.
Mr. Hill said that the political bosses
were trying to run Monroe county as
''rammany Hall runs the slums of New
York city," and said that he could prove
that votes were trying to be bought and
sold and that money was being raised for
that purpose daily in the city of Forsyth.
Then he showed several things that were
going wrong in Monroe county politics
and asked the voters to help him wage
this crusade for "civic Righteousness"
Mr.. Hill made an ms piring speech and
has started 1.-The whitewash brush" moving
at a rapid rate in Monroe county politics.

0usted Clerk Refused to
March in Brown Parade

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH. Ga, Aug. 22.-Cecil
trail of Georgia railway, after practically
nine years service, was dismissed by his
superior on Saturday morning. He says
his dismissal was the direct result of his
refusal to sign a card agreeing to join
Joe Brown torchlight procession on
Thursday 4 night of last week. Mr..
Joseph NJ Pagan. the agent of the Gen.
trial, who sanctioned the dismissal of
Rabey, is out of the city and his version
of why he was dismissed has not yet
been secured. w. J. Frain, secretary of
the executive committee of Chatham
county, is chief clerk in the Office where
Rabey works and on Thursday he sent
around a list to be signed by the men
under him to show whether they were
going in the Joe Brown parade.
The explanation was that 1t was de-
sired to know how many men were going
in the parade so it could be determined
how much red fire to sign a requisition
for upon the supply department of the
Central. Rabey refused to sign and this
action caused much surprise among the
clerks. He was dismissed Saturday
morning and he says the explanation
given him was that he had declined to
sign the declaration in favor of parad-
ing and that he would not vote for Joe
Brown.
The friends of Mr.. Pagan say they
feel sure when he returns to the city he
dismissal of Rabey. but the latter de-
clares that Mr.. Pagan told him the
morning of his dismissal that his work
had been entirely satisfactory. Luckily
for Rabey he secured another position
today.

ADDED LEASE OF LIFE
CAUSE OF INSANITY

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-Albert Ferris
thinks that one of the chief causes of
the Increased number of insane in the
United States is to be found in the in
creased longevity of the race. In
report just made public he says that his
attention has been drawn to the fact
that the race is longer lived. In 1910
the average age increased to @.5 years,
thus bringing more people into the third
decade of life, which is the most fruit
full decade in insanity. The number
of insane properly to be expected in
1900 deduced from this basis of deaths
and age distribution in 1910 is rs per
cent greater than in 1910
''Thus do the refinements of medicine
so unfortunately for the race and so
satisfactorily for the individuals prop
I'D and fortify young people with feeble
constitutions until they can marry, thus
aiding in the service of the unfit and
augmenting the number of insane pa
tets"

DR. ABNER w. CALHOUN DIES:
FULL OF YEARS AND HONORS
Noted Atlanta Physician, Beloved at Home and Famous
Abroad, Passed Away Peacefully Sunday Morning After
Long IIness-FuneraI From Residence This Monday At
ternO0n.

DR.. A W. Calhoun. of Atlanta, beloved
in every hamlet of the southern states,
famed in every capital of Europe, died
Sunday morning at o'clock, after long
illness. The call came peacefully at the
family residence, 672 Peachtree street, as
the noted physician lay surrounded by
relatives and friends who had been APP
prised Saturday evening that the end
was near.
DR.. Calhoun's health began to fail about
two years ago, but he did not forsake
his practice until last January, when the
illness became more serious, and for
the past four or five months he had been
confined to his bed. Several times the
tide of life ebbed so low that his family
and attendant physicians believed the
last hour had come. but time after time
his rugged constitution brought him
through.
DR.. Calhoun was more than physi-
clan. Endowed by nature with brilliant
ability that amounted almost to genius
and brought him fame and fortune, he
spent more than half of his entire life
without money and without price. 1t
has been said of him that never in all
his career did he turn a patient away
who came to him in the name of charity.
This love of fellow-man was indeed the
noblest and most beautiful feature of his
many-sided character.
HIS ARTICLES SOUGHT.
After he had become an eminent au-
thority on diseases of the eye, his articles
were sought by the leading medical jour
nails of this and other countries and
were translated into nearly every Ian
guage, while patients came to him for
treatment from cities thousands of miles
away, but through it all he managed to
find time to build up a great practice in
the territory where he had made his
home. and today he lies in room
flooded and overlooking with the flowery
tributes that have come from practically
every town in Georgia and surrounding

Wilkes Forecast Solid for
Smith for Governor

WASHINGTON, Ga, Aug. 22.-That
Wilkes county will go for Hoke Smith
is without question. This is conceded by
the Brown followers who give the county
to Smith by a majority less than 100,
though the Smith men claim the county
by a larger majority than was given
him two years ago.
The gubernatorial race has been large
ly overshadowed by the congressional
one. Both Hon. William NJ. Howard
and Hon. Samuel j. Tribble have stump
ed" the county on several occasions. and
the interest that has been manifested in
that contest has temporarily swept from
the minds of the voters that of the gov
ernor's race. The last lap of the race
finds Mr.. Howard personally on the field
here, with Hon. James L. Brown appear
ing on the boards for Mr.. Tribble. Both
gentlemen have made speeches in the va
rious districts Both sides claim the
county. Howard by a slight majority,
while the Tribble men say the county
will go their way by something like 200
to 300 majority.

Speech of Smith Makes
Many Votes in Chatham

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 22.-Hoke
Smiths speech at the Bijou theater Sat-
urday night made him many votes in
Chatham county, but it is a question
whether 1t turned enough to insure his
carrying the county tomorrow. If he
does carry the county, the Hoke Smith
people will be very agreeably surprised
and the Joe Brown followers will be much
chagrined and disappointed. Governor
Smith lost Chatham county four years
ago by 300 votes, the county going for
Estill. Two years ago he lost 1t by more
than 5000. In his speech Saturday night
he talked jokingly about the manner in
which he had been beaten and said it
was very considerable ~ those having
charge of the election not to have made
1t more.
The campaign in Chatham ends tonight.
There will be numerous district rallies
throughout the city by the different can
didates and friends will be- Iineu UP To
march to the polls tomorrow so that an
early start may be made.
Chairman Wright, of the county Dem
ocratic executive committee. will be at
the court house at $50 o'clock to see that
things move OFF smoothly. There are
some red-liot local fights to be fought out
in the primary tomorrow. One OF the
most interesting is that between Messrs.
r. j. Stewart and Warning Russell for
county treasurer. Colonel Russell. after
40 years of practically unbroken victories
in Chatham, was defeated TWO years ago
for treasurer by Major Stewart. Like
Jeffries, he wants to come back this year
and it is a problem whether he can DO
1T or not.
Almost every man in the copurt house
has opposition. but in some cases it is
not serious enough to worry about 1t

BABIES GET DRUG HABIT
FROM PATENT MEDICINES

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-That babies
in their cradles contract drug habits
through being doped promiscuously with
paregoric, laudanum and other house
hold remedies, is the assertion of Presi-
dent Lederle, of the New York board of
health. An effort will be made by tile
board to procure local legislation prohib-
iting the sale of the Objectionable drugs
except upon prescription.
A statement by President Lederle
says:
Notwithstanding their dangerous ma
ture. the sale of these drugs for the
relief of minor troubles Is enormous.
Mothers keep the paregoric on tap and
are more careful to have it in their
ZONES than they are to see that tn cir
sugar bowls are filled. AT the first
sign of an ache or pain often the mo-
ment the baby cries, the mother dashes

supporters of Governor Brown are ST
working here, the conservative ones are
united in the opinion that the county
will give Mr.. Smith a majority o fnot less
than 100. Smiths friends are equally
confident that the county will give Mr..
Smith a majority of between 200 and 300.
The registration for the county shows
400, the belief being that only a very
few of this number will fail to vote. The
total vote two years ago was 2,407 out of
a registration of 3,104. But it is believed
the vote this year will be nearly as large
as 1t was two years ago, despite the fact
that. there were 704 more registered then.
The Smith club here comedies only two
of the thirteen districts to Governor
Brown, namely, Varnels and the upper
Tenth, both of which went overwhelming
ly for Brown two years ago. The lower
Tenth and Ninth are close, with the
chances favoring Brown. Da-tvn and Til
