GOVERNORS HOUSE
 IN ATLANTA EMPTY
Will New Executive Occupy Mansion
 On Peachtree 1.-the Question

Atlanta, November 2S.-(Special) )- Will the new governor of Georgia oc- cupy the executive mansion on Peach tree street? Many people are asking this question now, because two gover- nors have come. and one of them has become senator since the executive mansion has had an occupant.
 In the meantime as a matter of course the mansion has not been re- ceiving the care and the attention 1t would have been given had there been housekeeper looking after things, and so if change does not come pretty soon 1t will not be in condition for any one to occupy In spite of its condi- ton, however, the chances are that the next governor will use 1t as his home
 The three candidates for the position are not so fortunately fixed in the way or Atlanta homes as are Governor Hoke Smith and Governor John M. Slaton When Hoke Smith was reelected he decide dto remain in his own we'll fur nished and well arranged home on West Peachtree street, which filled his every want. When he resigned and Governor Slaton took the reins in hand for 60 days, he was also well furnished with homes, and decided to continue living at the home of his mother-in-law Mrs. w. D. Grant, on Peachtree street, though she would much have preferred it is said to have moved into the execu- tive mansion, even with all It's draw backs.
 As it is the mansion has not been oc- cupied now since Governor Brown re- signed the cares of state to Governor Smith. Bnt the home of Governor Brown is in Marietta, and he has none l in Atlanta. Russell has lived in Att | lanta, but this has been his home only while court was in session. Pope Brown has been living in Atlanta for some time but has no home that could | be very we'll used as mansion. Sc | in all probability the mansion will have
 an occupant by the first of February
 who will remain until the state suc-
 ceeds in selling this property.

CHIEF BENEFITS RUBBER COAT

Chief Bonnet, of the fire department, is bitterly opposed to the use of rub Der coats, which are often used by fire men while fighting fire. The chief says he has his own experience for so ob- jecting.
 When I began fighting fire in Bir- mingham years ago." said the chief T had about as much idea about fire de- partment as a big red SOW has of a side saddle for a camel. Thinking l was getting right in line for fighting fire and equipping myself against the on- slaughts of the flames, l went out in town and bought me a little old thin yellow slicker, like the one Reeder present driver on Engine Company No. l, hasa pretty little thing-and it be- came me very much.
 'I was young buck then and the thing which looked the nattiest on me was of the most service-so I thought. One night an alarm came in from Fifth avenue and Twenty street, about where there was a little old wooden where ther was a little old wooden carpenter shop, two stories high. My, that was hot fire. But when we got there it was supposed to be my job to be on the business end of the steamer line. I had on my pretty little yellow slicker and was a fit subject for a swell drawing room, and started with the captain of the company for the fire. By the time I got half way across the street that coat began to melt from the heat of the fire, and the liquid rubber began to run down my neck, raising a blister wherever 1t touched my then tender hide. I began to try to squirm out of 1t, and one of the boys pulling slack behind me thought l was trying to pull 1t further up on ms, and he came to help.
 "Great Caesar, the very thing didn't want done was being done. l suppose we have all formed an idea of the in- ferno. I had mine before that, but let me tell you one thing and you can take my word for it--my Idea of the in- ferno before that man pulled that coat upon my neck and back would make

THE LINEUP

The game tomorrow between Alabama and Davidson promises to be one of the interesting football games of the local season. It will very probably result in d spectacular exhibition of speed, pro- vided always that the ground is in first rate condition.
 Because little is known of the prowess of Davidson, Alabama is complimented with the title of favorite. But from what comes in very straight line, Davidson is strong enough to give the average southern team stiff battle. and were Alabama to suffer another defeat there would be little surprise.
 But irrespective of the outcome, the game promises to be rare treat for those who desire to see the backs circle

 By the time the legislature meets," he said q will have a small model electric chair constructed. It will not be an exact duplicate of the chairs at Sing Sing and Richmond, it is true, but will have a number of improvements.
 When this chair is used there is no chance for pebble of any kind that might prolong the agony of the con- demned man.
 "The cost of the installation of the chair and the necessary plant is not worthy of consideration when compared to the step onward in the handling of criminal mat ters."

Farmers in the Jackson territory de- clare that they are going to plant just as little cotton as possible next spring, but will largely increase their acreage in corn, cane, rice, potatoes, hay and other food crops for man and beast, so that they will not need so much cash as heretofore The year just ending has proved disastrous to such farmers as poc-hooed at the idea of boil weevils eat ing up their cotton, and who did not take advantage of the warnings sounded by the government experts sent among them to show how to raise cotton in spite of the insect pests that had devastated the cotton fields of other states.

Less Interest Is Shown in South This Year Than
 Ever Before
MANDY IS EASILY
 LEADER IN DIXIE
Auburn and Georgia May Put Up 5oOd Contest Tomorrow. pssip About Alabama-Au-
 burn Next Year

The football season comes to con- clusion Thursday afternoon. It has been uneventful in the south, ana it is now question as to whether or not the recent and multitudinous changes in the rules of the game have not dimmed its, powers of attraction.
 Irrespective, as to whether or not this fs true, it is true that in the south, at any rate, there has been less inter est in football this year than in any previous season. The games Thursday afternoon cannot be hoped to create enough interest to make up for what the season has lacked.
 In the south Vanderbilt has clearly demonstrated it's superiority over all oth- CT Dixie teams. There is no doubt but that the Commodores are able to defeat
 aggregation in the south, and those rit ! have not been met by McGugin's s leu have no reasonable ground to claim =n iority over them. When Yandy

Alabama-Auburn Game

Ti.ere is reason to hope that interest in football might be increased next season by game between Alabama and Au- burn. As far known, there is lIo 1cnger bone of contention between the two schools of the state. Dr. Thach, at the University club dinner of several nights ago, stated to pr. Denny that the two should work together, and Dr. Denny attitude towards sports is too well known to require a reference. If thu subject is automatically approach ed there is no doubt but that the two wil. resume athletic relationship. At the close of the current season arrangements should be made for a baseball game in the spring and a football game in the fsn.
 Unless these colleges do resume rela- tions interest in college athletics will continue on the wane in this state.

Thursdays Big Games

Thursday afternoon Vanderbilt plays Sewanee. The Tigers will play a sur prisingly strong game, but will be de- fested. Alabama and Davidson will pre- sent what promises to be a fast and snappy game in Birmingham. As there is ooubt as to the outcome of the Auburn Georgia game today in that game, there 5s much interest. Alabama is figured stronger than Davidson, but Davidson is strong beyond all question. and it would surprise very little were the Tar Heels to win. Auburn is favored by the dope 10 defeat Georgia today, for 1t is gen. erally believed that Auburn has pictured its wounds more horribly than they real ly are. But should, by the terrific plung- ing of McWhorter and the startling out bursts of speed of Woodruff, the Geor- sians score a victory, the south would not stand petrifed by surprise. The con- ics should present an interesting com garrison as to the prowess of McWhor- ter and Davis, the latter being the az
 sressive star of the Auburn camp.

Alabama Teams Success

The season of the teams of this state has not been a brilliant one. Auburn was atle to score only a nominal victory e-ainst the Mississippi A. and M college, defeated Georgia Tech. by a nose only, and lost to the Texas farmers and the University of Texas. Alabama improved much over it's record of the season of 1910, but won very few victories. It play co a tie game against the Mississippi farmers and another against Georgia Tech. But it was conclusively trimmed by the University of Georgia, and was beaten by Sewanee. Its victories of the season were scored against Tulane and Howard
 Howard college lost the great major- ity of it's games. it's principal improve ment having been shown in the mat ter of college spirit. There is hope for Howard accomplishing greater things on the gridiron.

ing preparations for steadier running.
Retailers are doing steady business
on mapped cottons and this is being
reflected in demands upon primary fac
tors that are not readily handled in the
limited time allowed. There is also
noted more disposition on the part of
retailers to order wash goods and cot
ton dress fabrics for spring delivery,
showing a steady growth of confidence
in the future of business, which was
more or less lacking a few weeks ago
Cotton and WOrsted Yards.
Business in cotton yarns during the
week was restricted to nearby or i'm
mediate requirements. Values showed
tendency to sag on account of the
weakness displayed by the raw ma
terial market Worsted yarns are in
fair request spinners using the French
system. There is still wide differ
ence in the quotations named. The

The Cotton Market.
Further declines this week brought
new low record prices for cotton on
this movement October options at one
period touching $40 as against 14.i6
Mt the corresponding time year ago.
Although reports of excessive rains
Throughout Tie belt were received tell
ing of serious damage to the crop and
hindrance to picking. they received
little more than casual attention. for
while they induced a covering move
ment OF some dimensions on the part
of the shorts and brought about some
apparent strength, the upward move
ment was not maintained. 1t was
pointed out that any damage that
might have occurred from these con
ditions was more than offset by the al
most ideal weather prevailing during
the past four or five weeks as reflect
ed III the unprecedentedly large
amount of cotton that has been pick
ed and harvested up to this date. While
it is now generally conceded that this
years crop will be far in excess Of
any previous record, there is a grow
ing disposition on the part of the trade
TO regard present prices, which are
| about $25 per bale below those ruling
at this time year ago, as fully dis
counting any conditions likely to de-
press prices to a much greater extent.
Those who favor higher values say
that while receipts are undoubtedly
heavy, indications are now appearing
that there will be some falling off i'm
this respect, and that the increasing
disposition Cn the part OF the southern
planter to hold his cotton is bound to
have more or less effect Moreover
conditions in the cotton Industry are
improving and it is expected than an
increased demand from the manufac-
turers will soon exert a favorable in
fiuence. That some consideration was
given to these arguments was reflect
ed in heavy purchases by several
prominent interests, and late in the
week there was more development of
strength, which, while not very pro-
nounced, appeared to indicate the eX-
istence of considerably more conf
dence than has been noted for some
time past.-Dun's Review.
