COMPLICATIONS ARISE
IN SENATORIAL FIGHT
Georgia Situation Develops
That Field Is Against
Gov. HOke Smith.

ATLANTA, Ga, July S.-New complica-
tons have been injected into the Georgia
senatorial fight in the past two days by
charges that the action of the democratic
state executive committee in declining to
order a senatorial primary may cause the
possible failure in the national Congress
Of the direct elections amendment.
The senatorial situation has resolved
itself practically into Hoke Smith and
anti-smith camps. with the latest devel-
opments being infused by the latter ele-
ment
Contention Of Smiths Friends.
Gov. Smiths friends point to the fact
that the direct elections amendment is
being jeopardized through the Bristow
amendment. which proposes to vest In
Congress the right to control the man
ner, place and time OF electing United
States senators. 1t is pointed out also
that the Bristow amendment had the sup
port Of Senator Terrell, one OF Gov.
Smiths opponents. but there is little or
no criticism Of Mr.. Terrelfs action in
this respect. Southern democrats, ii Is
declared. will not accept the Bristow
amendment. and until the republicans
recede from this effort to bride the
states there is no chance for the popu-
lar election of senators. regardless Of
what Georgia or any other state may do.
Election In Usual Way.

viding that all senatorial candidates
pledge themselves to resign in the spring,

is taken to mean that. the legislature

Mysterious Death.

Vester Wells lived about mile from
the store at Cratic. He was hard
working, quiet, industrious farmer, and
spent all his spare time fishing in Reel
foot Lake. He was helping Mr.. w. G.
Thompson hoe out his cotton crop and
complained last Thursday Of not being
well so Mr.. Thompson excused him
for the day. Wells went by the store
at Cratic and bought box Of cartridges
for his rifle, 22-calibre, which he was
in the habit Of using to kill fish in the
lake. Nothing more was seen of him
that day, and when he did not come
home late that evening his wife went
to the house Of neighbor and spent
the night, as was her custom when he
was out on the lake fishing at night.
Mrs. Wells became alarmed when her
husband did not come home the next
morning, and went to the store at
Cratic to inquire If he had been seen.
No one had seen him since he left the
store the day before with his cartridges,
and general search was started to find
him, several going towards the lake
along the route he usually travelled on
his fishing trips. After about two
hours search the body Of Wells was
found, face downward, on Isom Lake,
on little island about ten feet from
the main shore. His body was left
where they found it until Squire Cutler
came. He at once impaneled jury
and held an inquest. The verdict Of
the jury was that the deceased, yester

The reason given by G. III. Albright,

Vocations and Avocations.

I
The man that said the purest JOY was
rest after toll framed philosophy OF
practical life. He held the scales neatly
between working to live and living to
work, between work for works sake,
work as an appetizer and digestive, and
play as the pastime OF the idle. The
man that said that was yoracious
worker, one who had his purposes
clearly in view and who accomplished
much. 1t was Emmanuel Kant. But
Kant was no hustler. His life was
timed by the clock, and he no more
thought of missing his walk than OF GO
ing without his work.
American business men are beginning
to doubt if hustling pays. A hustler
often seems to be like locomotive that
is kept under furious steam day and
night instead Of having its fires drawn
in the roundhouse at the end OF the
run. A hustler is apt to recall to a
lover Of horse flesh quadruped with
more action than speed.
John G. Stubbs, traffic man Of the
Hartman railways, expressed this fear
Of the wisdom of ceaseless hustle when
he said that thinking in bed killed Har-
riman.
Hustling has come to be associated
in the public mind with square shoul-
ders, long jaws and terrible chins. The
popular idol for some years has been a
young man with tense expression,
whether there was anything to be in
tensely interested in or to do or not.
Fortunately the illustrators and the
tailors are giving us some relief. This
is a sign of relaxation and possibly
will help some of our young men to
ease off. There is no telling how many
have been copying their faces and their
poses from Hippenheimer's ad illus
traitor.
European observers are less impressed
with our hustiing than they used to be.
They concede our achievements, but do
not credit them to hustle. Some of
them have seen through the hustiing
pose. They have noticed that nowhere
in the world is it easier to get crowd
than in the biggest cities in this coun-
try. Elsewhere safe can be raised or
lowered without the presence of anyone
but the men hired to raise or lower it.
A judicious criticism Of hustling was
given New York paper by success
ful business man Of London: Hustle
ioes not represent the highest type Of
efficiency. The hustler wastes lot OF
power and energy instead Of
the greatest possible
amount Of work for the force expended.
Regarded as machine, he is not an
one. He breaks down too
,ften and has to be laid off for repairs
