WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH
Mrs. L. G. Lancaster, Aged Resident
of Quitman County, Is a Victim
of the Flames.

The Eufaula Times and News re-
ports that while her husband was at
work in the cotton field Mrs. T. G.
Lancaster, aged II years, was burn
ed to death at her home near Hatch
er Station. 1t is thought that her
clothing ignited as she was kindling
fire about noon, and when Mr..
Lancaster returned home he found
her body stretched out in the corner
near the water bucket. 1t is thought
that she tried to reach the bucket,
but in her feeble efforts fell. In do
ing so she struck her head on an iron
kettle and big cash was made near
the temple. The body was badly
burned, but it is believed that death
occurred before the flames had a
chance to make much Roadway.

brought to the rescue. She wants a
a package or a bottle or a jar of
the impossible at bargain price and
45 filters or 'bodymakers' are in
vented to supply the bulk required
She isn't particular about by-prod-
ucts or waste products, and the small
print which Uncle Sam feebly insists
shall appear on chemically preserved
compounds is unnoticed by her. To-
mato pulp and apple pulp, manu-
featured from skins and cores, apple
juice, potato -four, corn starch,
phosphoric acid, citric acid, tartaric
acid, sulphur dioxide, and benzoate
of soda make it possible for the I'M
licensed manufacturer to get her
pennies.
She wants a hamburger steak of
brilliant hue and the butcher adds
sodium sulphite. You cannot blame
the woman because the child is
started wrong, and as the child be-
comes a woman there is no influence
at hand to correct the results of
bad beginning. In the meantime all
the natural laws of digestion and
assimilation are trespassed against.
Things are eaten which are not only
negatively bad, but positively injuri-
Gus.
Because people do not fall dead
in the street after eating a mara

evils that follow in the wake of our
stupid system of eating are slow and

eases that manifest themselves about

SAYS WOMEN ARE TO BLAME
FOOD EXPERT DECLARES THEY
ENCOURAGE FOOD FRAUDS.
They Insist on Snowy Food and the
Manufacturers Willingly Accom-
MEDIATE Them.

Woman, according to Alfred w.
Mccain, food expert, encourages
food frauds, being more interested in
the outward appearance and taste of
the things she eats than in their in
gradients.
Woman does not want foods in
the natural order, and as result she
asks for pickle which will resist
the teeth" said Mr.. Mccain during
the course of a recent address at the
Pure Food Show in Madison Square
Garden, New York. The manufac-
turer at once gives it to her by using
an astringent, alum, which toughens
the tissues and produces the effect
desired. She wants anehic crackers
and biscuits and bread and the man
ufacturer bleaches the creamy wheat
with nitrogen and grinds out of t
the vital elements upon which she
and her family depend for their
energy and strength. If he were
licensed and if it were crime to
debase or impoverish any foodstuffs
he could not trespass against all the
laws of decency by assisting her to
create an artificial standard, inimical
in a large degree to the health of
the nation. She asks for a brilliant
green string bean or spinach or pea
or plum, and her desire is gratified
with sulphate of copper She is per-
fectly satisfied to eat the white Swiss
cheese, but she wants yellow butter
and yellow American cheese, and the
dairy Immediately provides the arti-
fetal color scheme. She wants fan
cy deserts that scintillate under the
electric bulb, and coal tar is at once
split up and it's dye made ready for

on the first ballot.

OH the uTSC ballot.
The primary is going to be quite
an expensive affair, costing some
thing like $4,000, and the question
has already arisen as to who will pay
it. There are no county officers to
be nominated this time, so they can
not be counted on to bear the ex-
pense, as is usually the case, and the
counties are hardly going to appro-
pirate money out of their treasures
If the candidates for governor and
labor commissioner should be called
on to bear the expense it would cost
each of them something like $4,000
or $4,000. This is manifestly un-
just, and yet it is difficult to see
where the money will be secured to
pay these expenses unless it is done
by the friends of the candidates in
each of the counties. At any rate,
this is good argument against the
possibility of having to hold a second
primary.

what his attitude was regarding it..
He replied that he had always voted
the prohibition ticket, and would
stand or fall with that crowd. He
says he told all questioners frankly
that he was and always would be for
state wide prohibition.
He declares that if he is elected
governor all the influence he has will
be given to support the judges who
endeavor to break up the blind IT,
gers. He believes that the law can
be enforced, and will try to see that
it is done.
Friends of Joe Brown have not yet
begun to get active. No plans have
yet been made with regard to open
ing headquarters, and the campaign
in his behalf is being conducted so
far by correspondence. They state,
however, that he will soon have a
thorough organization, and will
make campaign that will stir things
up.
Source of Browns Strength.
Joe Browns friends express the
belief that the large majority of vot-
ers, deprecating the injection of the
liquor question into the campaign,
will turn to him. They are looking
for the support of former Hoke
Smith men who believe Pope Brown
cannot be elected, and the conserva-
tive element, they think, will turn
from Judge Russell ON account of
his local option views.
So far as stirring up the state is
concerned Judge Russell up to date
has attracted more attention and in
terest than either of the other candi-
dates. He keeps actively in the field
and is receiving good attention and
arousing interest wherever he goes.
The interesting question has been
raised as to whether the executive
committee will arrange the primary
on the county unit or state majority
plan. If the popular vote plan,
which has the endorsement of Gov
ernor Smith, is decided on and none
of the three candidates received q
majority a second primary would
be necessary. If the county unit plan
were determined on the nomination
might be made in the convention,
even though no candidate received
a majority of the county delegates

A great surprise has come to the
heirs of man who died at Client.
1t was found that he had left a fort

caused much laughter in the town.
but when the collection of buttons
came to be examined those who
were engaged in the task became
greatly interested.
The collector had divided his but
tons into series. They dated from
the ninth century. The collection
was started with a button from the
robe OF Charlemange and ended with
one taken from the uniform of Ma
poleon. There were buttons from
all the regiments which had existed
IN France, from the archers of
Charles VII to the Alpine chasseurs
The collection included buttons in

the collection was put at $4,000

CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR OF
GEORGIA ARE PUTTING UP"
THE DOUGH-.

Judge Russell Now the Most Active
Man in the Fight. Gossip Con-
corning the Campaign That Is Now
On the Verge of Activity.
ATLANTA.-If Judge R. B. Rus
sell doesn't reach practically every
voter in Georgia with campaign mat
ter it won't be because he didn t
make an earnest, conscientious effort
to do it.
He has copying clerks busy now
taking the names of all taxpayers
on the 1911 digests in the office of
the controller general, and it is I'M
derstood to be his purpose to put
some Russell and local option cam
paign literature into the hands of ev-
cry one of them.
With the exception of those who
are more than ga years old and own
no property, hence are subject to no
taxes, and those who became of vot-
ing age since the digests were made
up, the name of every person en-
titled to vote in Georgia may be
found upon these digests. Possibly
IS per cent or more of the voters
names are found in these books, and
list made from them is quite a
valuable document in a political
campaign,
No Poor Mans Job.
1t will cost a pretty penny for
postage to reach every voter in Geor-
gia even with one letter. There are
close to 100000 of them, but if a sim
gle letter were mailed to each of
only 100000 of them the postage
bill would be $4,000. Thus the stamp
bill becomes a big item in a cam
paign. The governors salary for a
year is $4,000, and if the candidate
who goes in to win does it right he
will spend that much in his cam
paign for postage alone, not to speak
of maintaining headquarters, paying
AA"1oSSAS anu CICI hS, pI IuIIuS, rail-
road fare and other expenses which
the candidate always has to meet.
There is no doubt about the fact
now that the prohibition question is
being pushed to the front in this
campaign to stay. The opponents of
former Governor J. NJ. Brown are
emphasizing it more and more every
day, with an evident view of obscur-
ing other questions and particularly
the anti-Hoke Smith factional feel
ing, which is believed to constitute
largely the former governors source
Of political strength.
Local Option Issue.
The local option issue was strong
~ stressed in the recent card of J.
Pope Brown, in which he sought to
make plain his prohibition attitude
Mr.. Brown said he had hoped, since
Georgia now has a prohibition law
to keep the liquor issue out of the
campaign, but that Judge Russell
brought it in by declaring for loca
option, and it naturally followed that
he was asked at various maatino,
