LAST OF THE CRUISER TEXAS
NAME OF FAMOUS OLD BATTLE
SHIP STRICKEN FROM LIST,
Was in Thickest of Fight at Santi-
ago, and Made History in That
Memorable Sea Battle.

AleIlOFaOl6 sea BaJCIe.
The famous old battleship Texas is
no longer a part of the United States
navy. Her name was finally stricken
from the list a few days ago. AS
matter of fact, the old vessel had
been known as the San Antonio"
for some months, during which time
she had to undergo the ignominy of
being fired upon by her friends, since
they made target of her. The name
will hereafter be borne by one of the
modern dreadnoughts. While the old
Texas has passed forever she will not
be forgotten. She helped to make
history and did it gloriously. Her
name and fame will ever be recalled
in connection with that of the gal
liant and Christian Capt. Jack" Phil
lip, whose name, like that of his YES
sci, is no longer on the list of the
navy. Capt. Phillip had his reward
in being advanced to the grade of
rear admiral and being given an easy
berth ashore. But after several years
ashore he went the way of all men
and ships. He now rests in Airing
1GAdS
will probably go to junk heap.
The Texas was rated only as a sec
ond-class battleship when she was
attached to Commander Schley's
blockading fleet off Santiago. There
was some misgiying when the Texas
was assigned to that duty. 1t was
feared that she was too slow and
might prove an encumbrance rather
than aid when the time came for ac-
ton. But the accounts all agree that
when Cervera's fast vessels came out
OF the harbor the old Texas bore
down the line like a cruiser with
bone in her teeth and every gun that
could be brought to bear working
full time"
1t was when the victory had been
won and the Spaniards were piled
on the beach, broken and burning.
that Capt. Phillip issued his famous
command, Don't cheer, boys, the
poor devils are dying" And when
there came to be an accounting of
the hits made upon the hulks of the
enemy it was found that the guns
OF the Texas had placed actually a
greater number of hits than any 9TH
er ship of the fleet. So much for
the good old vessel that is now no
more. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that the craft that succeeds to her
name will be able to do as well for
her country should the occasion ever
arise.

ACKNOWLEDGE 1T.
Dawson Has to Bow to the Inevitable.
Scores of Citizens Prove 1t.

After reading the public statement
of this representative citizen of Daw-
son given below you must come to
this conclusions: A remedy which
cured years ago, which has kept the
kidneys in good health since can be
relied upon to perform the same
work in other cases. Read this:
j. S. Clay, Main street, Dawson,
Ga, says: "a dull ache across the
small Of my back bothered me for
some time. My kidneys were also
weak and the kidney secretions be-
came irregular in passage and IN
natural. When l heard of Doan S
Kidney Pills l at once procured a
box and began their use. They
relieved the pain in my back and
strengthened my kidneys so that the
kidney secretions are now regular.
In return for the benefit l received
from Doan's Kidney Pills l give
them my highest endorsement"
The above statement was given on
March 30, 1908, and on May 5, 1911,
Mr.. Clay said: Il have had no rea-
son to change my high opinion Of
Doan's Kidney Pills publicly ex-
pressed some years ago. You may
continue to publish my endorse
ment."

ATLANTA BECOMES WET TOWN
Recorder Broyles Says People Had
just as Well Recognize 1t as Such.
All Kinds of Booze Handed Ont.

ATLANTA.-Recorder Nash R.
Broyles is quoted as saying that At
lanta is fast becoming wet town,
and that it will be the most sensible
thing for the police and other au-
thorities to recognize and admit the
fact, combating it as best they can
rather than trying to conceal it.
With innumerable clubs for all
grades of society, with blind tigers
for the negroes, with beer saloons
ceasing to pay even a pretended al
legiance to the near" part of the
law, Atlanta has reached the point
where a man can get anything except
a mixed drink across a public bar.
And as most of the people who pre-
fer mixed drinks to whiskey straight
are members of clubs the deprivation
is not serious.

Doesn't Help Country Voters.

Now it appears with the plurality
delegate nomination the country
counties are just as much discrimt-
mated against as they were under the
majority vote plan.
The state committee declined to
risk the loss of it's power and there
fore refused to call a state conven-
ton.
The state convention is the highest
party authority in the state. 1t elects
the state executive committee, which
represents the convention in the in
term, and as long as there is no
convention to shut it off the state
committee is the party power.
Should there have been a state
convention there would be of course
the decided possibility of the cleo
ton of new state committee. 1t
would not do to take any chances on
this, so the state committee cut out
the opportunity for the higher party
authority to come together.
Next year is a national election
year, and state committee can at
times play pretty important part in
national politics. So the state com
mittee will itself usurp the functions
of the state convention, remain in
power and proceed itself to declare
the result of the primary of Dec. on
the basis of plurality delegate vote.

New Mexico and Arizona.
When Fred Terror, stockman.
vent to Kansas City with a herd of
cattle he for a time was puzzled as
to what state to register from. He
explained that he lived in four states
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and
Arizona-his ranch extending into
all four and his house standing on
the point where they meet.
Mr. Terror eats his meals in Colo
RADIO, sleeps in Utah, has his "best
room" in New Mexico and his kitchen
extends into Arizona. Mr.. Terror
gets his mail at Cortez, Col, but
votes in Utah, because he sleeps in
that state. His legal business he
does at the county seat of Apache
county, Arizona, because most of his
ranch lies in that state The windmill
which pumps water for his stock is
in New Mexico, but the trough is in

THROWING A ROPE TO ]. POPE
FIXING OF PRIMARY RULES Is
REGARDED IN THAT LIGHT.
The Plan Agreed Upon Discriminate
Against Country Counties Even
More Than Majority Vote Rule.


ATLANTA.-One of the generally
accepted views of the state executive
committees action in deciding that
nomination for governor shall be
made by plurality delegate vote is
that it is plan to favor Candidate
j. Pope Brown, not because he is the
prohibition candidate but because he
more nearly approaches the Hoke
Smith idea than either Of the other
candidates in the race.
The executive committee is a Hoke
Smith organization throughout, hav-
ing been selected by the famous So
called 'steam-roller" convention.
which ignored the Brown minority
and gave it no representation what
ever Also of the three candidates
IN the race it is understood that Gov.
Smith prefers the election Of Pope
Brown, despite the fact he is said to
have told him he discharged his full
obligation to him for getting out of
the race in 1906 when he appointed
MIN state treasurer to succeed Capt.
r. E, Park.
while there was no overt act in
that direction it was apparent that
the state committee was DESTROYS of
favoring Pope Brown where possible,
and many think the committee hit
upon the plan of plurality delegate
nomination as the one affording j.
Pope the best chance of election.
Has No Precedent.
The plan is unprecedented in
Georgia politics While it purports
to preserve the county unit plan of
nomination by giving each county
voice to the extent of two delegates
for each representative in the legis-
lature there are really no actual del
egates because there is no state con-
yention
In all state conventions the re-
quirement has been that the nominee
shall receive the vote Of a majority
of the delegates from the counties.
This has been the rule for the last
quarter of a century, though prior to
that time two-thirds majority was
required.
But without a convention the only
way to do it was to declare a plu-
rality nomination or hold a second
primary.
Some Possibilities.
Whether it was designed to favor
Pope Brown or not the plr n adopted
is even less advantageous to the
country counties than was the plan
so strongly advocated by Gov Smith
of requiring that nominations be
made upon a majority vote Of al
the electors of the state.
For example, with three candidates
in the race suppose one of then
should carry practically ali Of the
larger or city counties, including si1
Of them with six votes each and TWEEN
ty-six with four votes each. Thi
candidate would have 140 delegates
although he carried only thirty-twC
counties, while if the two other can
didates should divide the ia coun
try counties, receiving the votes O
each, each of them would hav
only ia delegates, and the man VIII
carried the smallest number Of coun
ties would be declared the nominee
Of course this is an extreme cas-
and merely illustrates the possibilit
of the nomination Of the candidat
carrying the smallest number q

COST OF LIVING IN CHINA.
Four Cents for a Chicken and Half

there is no such thing as the high
cost OF living in China. Why, he
says, chicken can be bought for
TOUR cents and half pound of fish
for one cent, That may be true
enough, but what are the rates of
compensation in China? The chances
are that workingman will labor ali
day for the price of a chicken and a

ing is relative proposition, Just like
