Reason For the Peculiar Signature on
the Hotel REGISTER.

Many peculiar signatures in the
course Of season find themselves
upon the register of hotel. There
are foreign fists Of all sorts In script
that none but the Kytka could un.
ravel. The most curious of all, how.
ever. was placed on the book only re-

nothing at all bufsjnst ,'Svm.r Nv
This is the way 1t happened:
A well dressed man entered the no.
tel the other day and followed his
bags to the desk. The register was
swung around into position for him
and a pen handed him by the gentle.
manly desk clerk. Then. In a Free
swinging hand. he wrote the accepted
abbreviation Of his first name. "Wm."
AS If thought had suddenly oc.
cured to him, he stopped writing and
looked up.
what do you charge for single
room here by the day?" he asked.
"Three. four. FIVE and six dollars"
answered the clerk.
"Ain't you got no dollar rooms?"
mo, we have no dollar rooms
Three. four. FIVE and six"
"Goshw he said. and he didn't look

me. Gimme my luggage"
And he sneaked out OF the hotel as
one who had trodden on sacred ground.

doctors an dused man ykinds of mod

momentary relief. Although Mrs.
Moore had almost given up hope she
was persuaded by her friends to try
Root Juice treatment After using
three bottles of the juice she gained
sixteen pounds and is able to do her
homework and care for her children.
The lady is well liked in her neighbor-
hood and the wonderful cure has caus-
ed a great deal of talk. Mr. II. Il.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 1.-Governor-eleot
Hoke Smith is out of the senatorial
contest for good and all. He doesn t
want the office, even after he has fin
ished his term as governor No, he
hasn't authorized such a statement
in the newspapers, but the fact that
it is practically true is known from
reliable sources.
Mr.. Smiths ambition now is to
serve his state faithfully and efficient
ly as its governor for the term 10
which he has been elected, to aid in
increasing the material prosperity Of
Georgia, particularly with regard tc
improved farming; and then, when the
term is over, it is his desire to retire
to private life and to his private vo-
cations, never to be politically resur-
rected, unless circumstances make it
necessary for him to serve his sta,e
in some great emergency
Consequently Mr.. Smith has no per-
sonal interest in the senatorial cleo
ton which takes place when the leg
islature meets in June. The situation
as to the other candidates remains the
same. The candidates are Railroad
