noon December IL in the capitol and
consolidate and declare the result
as outlined by the section quoted.
No meeting was ever smoother,
with less general interest among the
committeeman. A select few did the
! work, made the plans and the others
simply acquiesced.
Only One Cog Slipped.
In only one particular did the cut
and dried plan go awry, as fixed by
the caucus of only a few members
held in the Kimball in the morning
before the entire committee met.
At that caucus it was decided
unanimously to turn down the prop
osition to allow the people to express
their choice for democratic candi-
date for president. But after the
subcommittee of nine got down to
work the issue was put up to them
so strongly by State Senator w. J.
Harris, Walter Andrews, president of
the Fifth District Woodrow Wilson
Club, and P. A, Stovall of Savannah
that they decided to pass the resolu-
ton on to the committee as a whole.
The committee took pains to pre-
serve itself from all danger by it's re-
fusal to call a convention in which
the people would meet, declare the
result and express themselves upon
public matters by party platform.
For the first time in Georgia's his
tory there is to be no convention for
ratifying a gubernatorial choice, no
platform, no opportunity for pub
lie expression. The nomination is
to be decided by strict county unit
plurality vote, without a subsequent
a suppression never be-
fore undertaken in the politics of
this state.

CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION
Is Advocated for Georgia by DUPONT
Query. Writes a Card to
Macon Newspaper.

MACON, Ga.-DuPont Query,
who recently Iambasted Pope Brown
in a newspaper card on the ground
that he was not the kind of prohibit
tionists for the people to vote for
and a day or two later announced
his support of Mr.. Brown after a
personal visit from the candidate,
has written another card, and this
time advocates putting prohibition in
the constitution. In a cOmmunica-
ton to the Macon Evening News he
says:
Editor Macon News: If we are
really to submit at any time and in
any form the question of prohibition
to state primary make sugges-
ton on that subject.
After the present law has been
strengthened by additional legisla-
ton and has had fair trial on the
question of it's successful enforce
ment let us then submit to a state
primary the question of Incorporate
ing it into the state constitution.
Should the decision be adverse
the question would remain to be
fought out in eIecting governors, leg
islators and judges thereafter, Just
as it is now.
IF the decision of the suggested
primary should be in favor of incor-
porating state prohibition into the
constitution the general assembly
would then submit the appropriate
amendment at a legal election anc
the same would be ratified.
Thus we will have made marked
progress in this great movement anC
the question would be settled fol-
! generations, if not for all time.
"It is not probable that we viii
ever have so large a new and unas
simulated foreign population as t.
cause a reversal, as has probably
been the case in Maine"

CAR LIFTED HORSE

Of all acidents that have occurred in automobile races large and small, during the 1911 racing season none has been more peculiar than in the recent meet at Omaha, Neb., and though through good fortune no hu- man blood was spilled the mishap was highly spectacular.
 Tt was in the five hour free for all race when the Mitchell car had every chance of winning that. the Jinx got us," said J. T. Stewart, End Manager of the Mitchell Motor O., of Omaha, in telling of the incident "Mockett was driving and was going fine when an anticipated horse of gray color and kindly disposition ambled out on the track. The Mitchell was flying over the ground and there was no time to stop or turn out and in the flash of an eye the car and three-quarters of a ton of horse came together
 The machine lifted the horse bod fly from the ground and Mockett, who had crouched as low in his seat as possible, passed under him without a scratch. The horse landed on his back at the side of the track and the Mitchell continued on around the course with a bent radiator and "pig- con toed" front wheels. A new radi- ator and fan were put on when the car got back to the pits but the chance of winning the race was lost although the car finished the event in good time.
 Unfortunately for the horse he was an organism instead of a mechanism and consequently could not replace a broken part and his blowing days were soon OVer''

THE BOY WHO FORGETS.

l love him, the boy who forgets! Does it seem such a queer thing tc
 say?
 Can't help it; he's one of my pets; Delightful at work or at play, I'd trust him with all that I own, And know neither worries nor frets; But the secret of this lies alone
 In the things that the laddie forgets To always forgets to pay back
 The boy who has done him an i'll; Forgets that grudge he owes Jack, And smiles al him pleasantly still. He always forgets 'tis his turn To choose what the others shall
 play;
 ForgetS about others to learn
 The gossipy things that they say" He forgetS to look sulky and cross When things are not going his way; F'orgets someone's gain is his loss; Forsets, in his work time, his play So this is why I take his part:
 Why say he is one of my pets; l repeat it with all of my heart: l love him for what he forgets! Frances Camp in St. Mich olaS.

Over 1,200 Horses Died

"Over 1,2Oo horses died from the heat in New York City during the eleven days of the hot spell'' said Harry s. Houpt, manager of sales of the American Locomotive CO.
 "A we'll known packing concern is reported to me as having suffered a loss of $70,00O in horseflesh through out the country while another large organization. I am informed, met with a loss of $40,000.
 Aside from sentiment this situa- tion offers a mighty good argument for the motor truck. I doubt if there was truck in New York city affect ed by the heat sufficiently to put it out of service.
 'Eestimating that horses are worth S250 the total loss in horseflesh in New York city would have been s30O.- 900 while the loss throughout the coun- try doubtless reached over a million dollars.
 '$300,000 would purchase 100 good trucks of a dozen different makes and these trucks would have outlived the horses two to one, travelled twice as fast and three times as far per day.

MEANS MUCH TO STATE. Provision May Be Made to Retain
 Congressman-at-Larg

The passage of the reapportionment bill by Congress has a particular bearing upon this State. While the representation of five members is not increased, the Burton amendment pro- viding that candidates for represen- tative or representatives at large shall be nominated in the same man. her as candidates for Governor unless otherwise provided by the laws of such State is looked upon by some political leaders as a provision for a representative at large from this State. The legislative committee on redistricting has not yet reported. State Senator Platt recently said that the committee was waiting to hear from Washington as to the allotment for a district If a representatives. -at- large is allowed the committee may not have to redistrict.
