Growing in Interest.

Atlanta, Ca, June 27.-The legis-
lators who today throng Atlanta are
agog over the senatorial situation,
although no material changes have
occurred. Those who have def
nitely announced for Office arc SEN
ator Joseph M, Terrell, S. Guyton
McLendon and Judge W. A. Coving-
ton.
The situation today is by no
means as clear as it was ten days
ago. Many legislators contend that
two mistakes have been made by
Senator Terrell, whose condition OF
health is said to be bad,-first, that
he should have remained in Wash
ington, and second, that he should
not have established campaign
headquarters. Many say that they
would have voted for Senator Terrell
had he remained in Washington,
whereas now their votes will 60 IN
another direction.
Murphy Gambler, although not in
the race, will probably come in for
many votes. 1t is thought by scores,
however that Hoke Smith will be
elected on the first ballot, as his
ardent supporters are numerous.
Pleaeant A. Stovall, who an
nounced yesterday that he would be
in the race will doubtless receive a
large vote. However, the concensus
ofopinion is that Smith will be cleo
ted by an overwhelming majority.
Rooms have been engaged at the
Kimball by Thomas E. Watson, who
announces that he will take an
active part in the senatorial cam
paign.
Tension over the senatorial elect
ion runs high and the Kimball
house is the center of state politics,

Don't Shoot In The City.

The Enterprise has received COM
plant of the butchering of cattle in
the heart of the city using a win
chester rifle for the purpose of killing
the cattle.
We do not know who the parties
are, but they are certainly taking
too much risk,
If a stray bullet should kill a
citizen, a horse or mule or other
property, it would be claimed that
it was merely an accident and that
the city government was to blame.
1t is against the law to shoot
within the incorporate limits and
the slaughter pen should be outside
the city limits.

Baltimore, Md.-At twenty-five years
OF age, Samuel Want, who came to this
country a penniless immigrant ten
years ago, has been appointed mem
Der of the law faculty of the Univer
sity of Maryland. Mr.. Want is also
an assistant editor of the American
and English Encyclopedia of Law,
Lawyers Reports Annotated and sew
eral other legal publications. He is
Instructor In commercial law at the
eastern high school, member of tho
Maryland bar. and is engaged in other
activities and labors.
The appointment by the faculty of
the University of Maryland, of which
Chief Judge Harlan is dean, is the
result of sheer force of merit and
effort on the part of young Want.
He entered the university in 1907 as
freshman and was graduated from
the school in June, 1908. He made
the three-year regular course in less
than l2 months and the faculty were
quick to appreciate the intellectual
and gifted qualities of the young man.
His special duties on the faculty are
to instruct students in the selection
of books and authorities. The young
professor has had varied and pic
turesque career made interesting be-
cause he came to this country penni-
less and without friends at the age
of twelve years from Newcastle, Eng
land
Young Want knew a former En-.

Unable to control herself any

opened and she saw her husband led

Clinton turned to look at Annie, who
had been waiting patiently i'll the
background Her anguish on seeing
lloward's condition was unspeakable.
1t was only with difficulty that she re-
strained herself from crying out and
rushing to his side. But these Stern
uniformed men intimidated her 1t
seemed to her that Howard was on
trial-a prisoner--perhaps his life was
in danger. What could he have done?
OF course, he was innocent, whatever
the charge was He wouldn't harm a
fly She was sure Of that But every
one looked so grave, and there was q
big crowd gathered in front OF the
hotel when she came up. She thought
she had heard the terrible word "mur
der" but surely there was some mis-
take, Seeing Capt. Clinton turn in
her direction, she darted eagerly for

Annie's heart sank. Could she have
heard aright2
"The Tombs.' she faltered. "Is
the charge so serious?'
"Murder-that's all. replied the
captain laconically.
Annie nearly swoomed. Had she
not caught the back OF {, chair she
would have fallen
The captain turned to Maloney and,
in low tone, sad
Quick! Get him over to the sta
ton. We don't want any family
scenes here
Manacled to officer Delaney and
escorted on the other side by Ma
loney, Howard made his way toward
the door. Just as he reached it he
caught sight of his wife who. with
tears streaming down her checks,
was watching him as if in dream,
TO her it seemed like some hideous
nightmare from which both would
soon awaken. Howard recognized
her, yet seemed too dazod to wonder
how she came there. He simply
blurted out as he passed;
Something's happened, Annie, dear.
Underworld don't quite know"
The policemen pushed him through
the door, which closed behind him.

than emotion.

on the captain.
"A confession' she echoed uneasi-

was unshakeable. Almost Historically

was likely 70 injure his cause Boldly,

Trying different tack. he asked
carelessly:

Where was that?"

Annie looked at her inquisitor and
said nothing. She wondered what he
was driving at what Importance the
question had to the case Finally she

He didn't like him we'll enough to

The captain now started off in an
other direction.

BY this time Annie had grown sus-

on her guard.
Jealous? What do you mean2
No, he was not jealous. There was

talk and when to listen. In the pres
ence of men and women of superior
talents and accomplishments. or Of

be wary and not let our vanity run

With men and women of small talent
