Once upon a time there was a man
who was sensitive.

If he made an after dinner speech
and some one remarked that they had

Last night about 9 o'clock the
burning of the operating room
at the Motto Theatre brought out
the department and attracted quite
a crowd altho the weather was bad.

motion picture machine. and in an
instant the celluloid was blaze.
Prof. Swafford, the operator lost
a moment in looking for his rain
coat to smother the blaze and sew
eral other films in the room caught
or rather exploded.
Fortunately only few people
we're in the building and easily
made their exit by the burning
operating room.
The machine, several films and
the small operating room or stall
was completely destroyed and
hole bored thru the ceiling over
head before the department which
arrived promptly, could put out the
blaze.
The Indictment weather and late
ness of the hour was responsible
for the fact that only a few people
we're in the place at the time Of the
fire, otherwise we might have
sader story to write. -:

Atlanta, Dec. 21.-The friends OF
Governor John M. Slaton rather felt
that he was between the Devil and

urged to appoint were Solicitor Cen
eral Walter F. George of the superior
court and Former City court Judge
Max Land. Both were men admit
tedly we'll qualified for the position
Both were Governor Stations warm
political friends. Both had friends
who were Slaton's friends. 1t ap-
peared that it would be hard to re-
fuse the claims of either.
After bordering the matter for
several days, Governor Slaton got
ont from between the devil and the
deep blue without lodging the ques-
ton and without either drowning or
Turning. He made Walter George
Judge and gave Max Land the So
hcitor generalship that was left va
cant by the elevation of George to
