ville's views of the race question, out may awaken fresh antagonism in people who think the negro should be elevated.
 The heroine, who has her eyes opened. Is Miss Marbury, a young woman who is the daughter of Civil war veteran on the union side and has certain pre- conceived notions in regard to the black man. Miss Marbury and Andy Whit field, a of the old south, resident in Atlanta, meet at Saratoga and the re- suit of a propinquity of some weeks duration is a provisional engagement. Later Miss Marbury comes to Atlanta on q visit It isn't long before she is scln- Galizing the aristocratic folk of Atlanta b" her radical views on the negro quas- ton. She becomes more and more inter- ested in her studies and finally takes up her residence among negroes with a sin cere desire to better their squalid sur roundings. She receives the elite of Dark town and meets the denizens of "Helrs Half Acre." certain negro bishop looms large in the picture.
 The end is inevitable. In short while the young woman from the north ob- serves in the conduct of the bishop and his followers degree of familiarity which is intolerable. Soon arises a situation which threatens her honor. Pouf! Her fine theories go up in smoke. With chastened spirit she returns to her white friends and agrees to marry Andy. The cure wrought in her is drastic but com plete. Miscengenation is not a fit theme for young unmarried women to consider, anyway, and the negro problem so called. done into fiction, has become just wee bit tiresome. P. c.

THE BLACK MANTLE

''The Black Mantle" by Fulton Colville, Cosmopolitan Press, New York, relates the experiences of young woman from the east who comes south to visit friends of her finance in Atlanta and has her eyes opened to certain conditions obtain ing among the negroes of the south.
 The title is merely the authors figura- tive reference to the colored population of the south and he has chosen a theme which has been literally done to death. The novel is very frankly devoted to the object the author has in view. namely. that of opening the eyes of northern and eastern people to the status of the negro in his southern environment The love story is merely a slight frame work cn which to hang discussions which range through some 300 pages and eventually result in a conclusion eminently satis- factory to readers who hold with MT Col

.WERT'S DECISION IN
 COMMISSION CASE Judge Hands Down Decis- ion in the Hartselle
 Commission Case

Decatur, November 4.-(Special.)- Judge Thomas w. Vert, judge of the Morgan county law and equity court, case was argued a few days ago, hand ed down his decision in the case to- day.
 It will be remembered that sometime ago the town of Hartselle, this county voted for a commission form of gov ernment and that Governor Emmet ONeal appointed three commissioners. Later on for some reason the governor appointed other commissioners. The of ficers in control of the city's affairs refused to turn over the books of the town to either set of commissioners, and the matter was taken to the state courts.
 Judge Werts decision in the case in full follows:
 November 4, 1911.
 Dear Sirs-In re P. Patillo vs. J. l.. Draper.
 After hearing the arguments of coun- sel I will allow the amendment offered by Relator Patillo, but l have stricken certain parts of 1t and have Indicated my ruling by the letter on the amendment. I will overrule the de- murrer filed by respondent. but. no judgment will be entered until later date, that parties might reserve ex- captions if desired.
 It seems to me after the above propositions have been disposed or the only question for the court to consider is whether the governors first choice ever evolved into valid appointment.
 It doesn't seem to be seriously con tended that a commission is necessary to make this appointment valid or to establish title to the office. It is not controverted that the governor intended to appoint Patillo and one witness tes- tified that the governor told him he had appointed him.
 It is not denied that the governor told his secretary to have Patillo ap- pointed. It Is not denied that the gov ernor's secretary ordered the recording secretary to make out the appointment, and tine evidence tiiscioses, the fact that on that authority he entered the name of Patillo in book where the records of appointments are kept, 1t being the duty of MT. Nunelle the recording sec retery, to keep this record.
 The acts of MT. McNeel, the gover- nor's secretary, and Mr. Nunelle were purely ministerial and hold that when the governor made known his choice and by his direction the appointment was placed upon the record kept for appointments and the appointee quail fled, the governor has no authority to remove that officer. .
 It follows from the above that I will at later date enter a judgment in the above cause in favor of the relator. Very truly yours, THOS. w. VERT.

Why l Lost
 My Job
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me Can
 not Satisfy Their Employers


 believe my fate is not unlike that of thousands of other workers who daily lose their places for reasons they do not know. and probably would not believe When their last pay envelope comes along, 1t is usually. Your services no longer required" If the truth were known the reason for their unceremonious re- moval would probably be that their use fulness was destroyed because of some mental worry, bodily ailment or general indisposition. These things, as we all know. are the most fruitful causes of failure ir all walks of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost because of head ache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid, active and free from out side influence or worry, or ese we go down to failure with the throng of float ers'' who go from one place of employ ment to another, giving no satisfaction to others or to themselves, constantly grow ing older and less useful, with no am- bition, no will power, and no hope.
 Every man requires from every other man the best that is in him. But no man can use or get the best that is in himself until he is first free from all fretful indispositions and worries M
 That was my trouble. I was full of troubles. That's why I lost my job. My stomach in the first place was always out of order. and I was worrying about . made mistakes, and grew grouchy. That was the end.
 There are thousands like me. going about with quick lunch' faces, dys- peptic. manners. and repulsive atmos- pheres. No employer wants such mems services
 Take my advice. A healthy stomach is half the battle, for 1t keeps your mind clear, and your face rosy. I have d healthy stomach now and hold pood position. and my employer is satisfied and so am I.
 I started to take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which I was told were good for the worst cases of indigestion and dys- spepsia. The first two tablets made a wonderful difference in my condition !
