BENEFIT IN
JULY Second
FOR The D. A. R.
INSTEAD OF ON JULY FIRST
Day For Benefit Game Has
Been Changed

On account of the arrangements that
have been completed with the man
agement of the local ball team by the
officers of the Council of Safety chap
ter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, the game to be played
for the benefit of the local chapter OF
this organization will be played OIL
the afternoon of July 2, instead OF
July 1, as was at first announced.
The benefit to be given to the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution will
be derived from the sale of grand
stand tickets, this part of the pro-
ceeds going to the local chapter. Two
prizes have been offered to the young
girls who sell the largest and the next
largest number of tickets for the bene-
fit game. The rivalry in this partic-
ular promises to be very warm.
The team that will play the locals
on the day chosen for the benefit will
be the Atlanta team representing the
Georgia Railway and Electric COM
pany, the picked team of the Atlanta
amateur teams, recognized as the best
in that city. The team is an entirely
different team from the Atlanta team
that recently played here, and far SUI
perior to it, so that the game promises
to be lively one in every way.

I'D INTERIM ApPOINTEES
in LIME-LIGHT AGAIN
Senator Sheppard Opens Fac,
tiOnal Fight

Atlanta, Ga, June 27.-Again
fractional politics will surely figure.
IN the deliberations of the Georgia
senate.
Senator Sheppard of the Thirteenth
district, recognized as the leader of
the Smith wing of Georgia democracy,
practically assured a fight on strict
old Smith-Brown alignments when
he introduced a resolution calling up
on Governor Brown to return Hoke
Smiths ad interim appointments to
the senate.
When the senate refused to con-
firm Hoke Smiths regular appoint
ments during the last session becausa
the governor, then senator elect, re-
fused to proceed to Washington and
rel1nquish his gubernatorial office
Senator Sheppard, on the last night Of
the session asked that the appoint
ments be returned to Hoke Smith
This was done.
On August II Governor and also
Senator-elect Smith issued commits
sions for his appointees as ad inte-
rim appointments. This means even
lit these appointments were good that
the appointees could only hold offic,
until the legislature met.
The supreme court in deciding the
West-Shackleford controversy over the
Judgshop of the city court of Ath-
ems held that a governor could make
only vacancy appointments without
a confirmation from the state senate.
Shackleford, Smiths appointee, lost
his case, and the courts ruling APP
piled to all the appointments not
made to fill actual vacancies.
1t is learned in the executive office
today that Governor Smith took the
list of appointments with him when he
| left office and the only record of them
| is in the minutes. The assumption is
that Governor Brown will have list
of appointments to send to the senate
and that the senate is a trifie more
likely to get Governor Browns own
| list than Smiths.
Governor Brown did not care to dis
cuss the Sheppard resolution, assert
| ing that he would wait to learn its
fate when put on passage before act
ing in the matter

GIRL IN
LEOPARD'S CAGE
PECULIAR AFFAIR IN ATLANTA
SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHAT OF
A MYSTERY.

Atlanta, Oct. 5.-Who put pretty
Anita Lawson in the leopard'S cage
at the Grant Park zoo? Who let the
slender, unarmed, inexperienced girl
enter the lair where the keeper him
self is afraid to so.
Those are two questions that the
park board members intend to have
answered very shortly. In the mean
time the affair is something of mys-
terry.
Yesterday afternoon an Atlanta
paper published a startling photo
graph of Miss Lawson, who is . well
known young Atlanta girl, seated In
the leopard cage, witha whip in her
hand and a leopard crouching in the
opposite corner of the cage, at her
feet.
Accompanying the picture was the
statement that the keeper had per-
mitted the girl to go in the cage be-
cause she wanted to win a bet of a
pair of kid gloves from a young man
who said she was afraid to do it.
1t" keeper IL supposed to he , IAN
of experience and intelligence and
the story seems to be almost too
astounding to be true. IF he did let
an unarmed and unprotected girl en-
ter that cage as the story says, he
ought to be disgraced and fred" de-
clared one member of the park board.
But did he let her in?
In the minds of some folks who
have heard of such things before,
there is a growing suspicion that it
was the clever but INSCRIPTIONS news
paper photographer who put her in
the cage, by the simple ingenious
combination of picture taken of the
lady at one time and a picture taken
of the leopard at another. This, how
ever, is mere conjecture, as the pa
per prints the picture as bona f1de
news.
