governor as soon as the announce
ment of his resignation is made. The
opposition seems to believe that the
longer the EX-GOVERNOR candidacy
is STAYED off the weaker he will be-
come and the easier it will be to
accomplish his defeat.
Opposition Unable to Agree.
At present Mr.. Smiths friends seem
unable to center on any candidate
who they believe can defeat Little
Joe." They are hitting all around,
and trying to light on the strongest
man, but so far he does not appear to
have developed.
Apparently they do not regard
Pope Brown as a strong candidate
but they ultimately may be forced to
support him now that they cannot
have Hudson; for they could scarcely
get back of plain Dick" Russell,
even though he has adopted Mr..
Smiths platform, after all the un-
complimentary things he has had to
say about the governor both in the
campaign of 1906 and since. It is
generally admitted though that
Judge Russell will make a candidate
to be reckoned with if he should
come out on the local option plat
form.
In the meantime former Governor
Brown is waiting, principally be-
cause he does not desire to be in any
way responsible for a lengthy cam
paign, one which necessarily will
extend over period of five months,
in the event Governor Smith does not
resign until December.

how Cardui brought back her health

not get any relief until I tried Car

more or less for ten years, and was
so weak and nervous I could hardly
do my homework. Now I am in bet
ter health than ever before, am regu-

HOG FAsTs THREE MONTHS.
1t Fell into Well and Emerged Alive
But Somewhat Thin.

Dut somewhat IhIn.
How long hog can live without
food is a question that is being pro-
pounded by E. L. Maxwell. who lives
a few miles from Cairo, Ga. A
hog was missing for three months
on his farm, and when found was in a
well. He and his boys had looked
the field over time and again for it.
and finally gave up, believing it had
been stolen. One day one of his sons
had occasion to pass an old we'll in a
field, and looking into it saw the
hog, apparently dead, and without
further examination went on and let
1t slip his memory until the question
was brought up by his father, when
he related what he had seen in the
well.
One of the younger children, from
curiosity, made an investigation
and dropping rock in on the sup
posed dead hog was surprised to see
1t get up and go to walking around
the well. This was told Mr.. Max
well, who had it drawn out and
found it to be very poor, but it lived
and thrived.

That more than $40, OOO,eOO,OOO

that 80 per cent of this is spent by
women who have no adequate knowl-

NO POLITICAL PIE BEING CUT
SENATE STILL HAS GOVERNORS
APPOINTMENTS TIED UP.
The Names Already Sent in Sleep in
the Desk of the Secretary. Sem
ate Stands Pat in It's Position.


ATLANTA, Ga.-Securely tucked
away under lock and key in the small
cabinet on the desk of the secretary
of the senate rest undisturbed eleven
of Governor Hoke Smiths appoint
mentS.
Contrary to announcement and
general expectation the senate gen
eral Judiciary committee met yester-
day afternoon but did not ask Sec
rotary Northen for the list Of ap-
pOintments. The papers bearing the
names of these appointees sleep
peacefully in that tiny locked cabinet
on the desk
Are they destined to sleep there
through the session? The belief is
growing that this course will be pur-
sued to the wind-up of the legisla-
ture. If the general judiciary com
mittee is not of mind to report on
them then the senate will not feel
called upon to bring them out in the
open where a fight would be preripi-
tated.
Not Sending in Amy More.
1t is a fact that Governor Smith is
not sending in any more appoint
ments to the senate. He is playing
a waiting game on those tied up now.
Personally he does not appear to be
worried in any way by the queer sit
uation. He probably thinks his full
duty has been done in making the
appointm ents, and if an obstinate
senate will not confirm them then it
isn't his lookout.
There seems to be no doubt, on
the other hand that the senate will
stand fast to the Harris resolution
and not confirm any of Governor
Smiths appointments until it knows
for a certainty when he will relin-
quish the gubernatorial reins-and |
that is something no one but Gov
ernor Smith himself apparently |
knows now.
1t is the senate mood that it is on |
record for a certain principle, and it |
will not likely recede from that posi-
ton.
1t is told here that one man seek |
ing appointment for a judgeship !
wherein there are several other APP |
plicants has been besieging the gov
ernor for appointment.
Finally Governor Smith told him |
that he would send in his appoint |
ment if he cared to take the chance !
of having it confirmed The candi- !
date, so the story goes, felt out" the
senate. Then he returned to Govern
or Smith and said he believed he
would not jeopardize his chances by
having his name sent in.

FRANKS ON The STAGE
MANY ACTORS HAVE VIOLATED
RULE AGAINST "CUYING."
How Edwin Booth Decorated the Face
of Dying Desdemona-louis
James Was an lnveterate
Fun Maker.

While "guying" and playing pranks
on the stage which are liable TO upset
ones fellow actors and cause them to
deliver their lines while in a condition
of almost helpless hysteria are strictly
forbidden by theatrical managers, the
one more or less with some OF the
worlds brainiest and, so far as ap-
pearances go, stern and serious stage
celebrities. Take Edwin Booth. for in
stance. He often yielded to the temp
tation to play the comedian. even the
buffoon, to his company while the
audience saw only the tragedian. A
writer in the Bookman tells how Booth
once enlivened the last act of Othello.
While smothering Desdemona he man
aged to get some of the brown paint
from his own makeup onto the tips of
his fingers.
Then while delivering the lines of
the scene with his usual impassioned
fervor and apparently sitting Des-
demona with pillows. he painted
lady's countenance. The audience OF
course knew nothing of it. But when
Gratiano and the other actors came on
and one by one went 10 the bed to
gaze al the features OF the murdered
bride the sight of bewhiskered lady
almost threw them into commissions.
Each in turn approached the body
with loud lamentations and each sud
denly turned away shaken with con-
vulsive laughter which the audience
fortunately mistook for manifesto
tions of grief Another of Booths
tricks was to rub his face against
Katharine's when he was playing
PetruchiO. in The Tanning OF the
Shrew," smearing her face with the
paint from his makeup mustache. But
this was at the end OF the play as the
curtain was descending
Louis James was an inveterate fun
maker on the stage. AS. Virginius he
would rouse the audience 10 enthusi-
asm and then strike terror to the
hearts OF the timid in the mad scene
OF the last act. But while going
through this role without skip or
break the chances were that poor APP
