ton to its readers, the result of a
letter canvass of the 146 counties of

Of ascertaining with as great a degree

The following is a copy of a letter
sent out by The Constitution to hun
dreds of representative citizens in ev.
cry part of the state:
eve want a frank and confidential
opinion from you as to how yol
county stands as between Underwood
and Wilson for the democratic nomi-

sentiment overwhelming either way?

confidential and no publication of your

Don't depend upon your own esti-
mate, but confer with a dozen or SO

impartial estimate can be relied on

how you stand. We want a perfectly
frank reply and an estimate which
you are satisfied will be borne out BY

MADAME RACHELLE'S
ADVICE TO
BEAUTY SEEKERS

Mrs Charles NJ BE careful of your diet Moth
fng is so conducive to a muddy skin as rich, over
seasoned foods. Drink plenty of water and massage
the face with the preparation recommended below,
MISS T. F.-For the long standing cases of dark
brown freckles, recommend a regular nightly
massage with a combined face bleach and skin
food. The name of good preparation is Wilson's
Freckle Cream, which you may obtain at any good
drug store for Soc the jar direct from the Wilson
Freckle Cream Co., Charleston, S. C. This is re-
markedly effective, guaranteed and use it regu-
larly with the most satisfactory results.
Wilson'S Freckle Cream is sold by

ers Drug Store.

Brown-41 counties; Russell-22
counties.
As To The State Wide Majority.
Differing from the primary of last
fall, the popular vote will be the
state unit. and not the county. Thus,
any effort to estimate the size of
Underwood's majority in exact figures
would be exceedingly difficult. 1t is
self-evident that the Alabama mans
statewide contingent majority will be
decisive, but in view of the uncertain
ty as to the total vate which will be
cast on May 1st, anything like fiat
estimate in figures is impracticable. II
the weather conditions are such that
the farmers cannot work in their fields
on the day of the primary, it is en-
tirely probable that the vote cast
would be so per cent. heavier than if
the weather was such as to permit
them to answer the call of their daily
duties.
All indications point to the fact that
the popular statewide majority will
be fully as large as that indicated by
the county estimates, as the Alabama
man is leading in an overwhelming
majority of the heaviest voting coun-
ties of the state. OF the thirty-two
counties of the state having six votes
and four votes under the county unit
plan, Underwood is easily the leader
in twenty-five, with Wilson having
the advantage in seven, the balance of
his strength being in the two-vote or
small counties.
Condensed Opinion of 1880 Georgia
Voters.
The Constitutions estimate above
set forth is based upon over 500 let
tiers received from every county in
the state. They contain the judgment
of over 800 reliable citizens as to the
political situation in every militia dis
trct in Georgia At least twelve men
n every county have been consulted
in some counties many more than
that number.
The Constitution, therefore feels that |
the estimate that it will give to its |
readers tomorrow is as nearly correct |
as it is possible for such a forecast |
to be.

SOUTH POLE

Christiana, Norway, March SAIL
DOUBT that Captainn Amundsen has
actually discovered the South Pole was
set at rest, so far as Norwegians are
concerned, this afternoon, when King
Haakon sent a cablegram of eongrat-
ulation to the explorer at Hobart Tas-
mania He also granted permission
to use the names of himself and Queen
Maud in connection with the new
lands discovered by the Norwegian ex-
plorer.
In addition, the Geographical So
ciety sent cablegram of congratula-
ton The fact that the King con-
scented to the use Of both his and the
Queens name to designate the new
land discovered has caused much spec
ulation on just what the Amundsen
expedition has added to the known
lands of the Antartic. Because of re-
ports current for years that great gold
deposits were likely to be found near
the South Pole, intense interest has
been created in the result. 1t Is not
yet known when Amundsen will make
the complete report Of his expedition
public, but it is expected it will be
very soon.
Norway is tonight celebrating the
discovery of the Pole. and is certain
that, even il the British expedition
under Scott actually reached the most
southerly point, it did so after the
Norwegian flag had been planted
there.

Alleging that Michael Robsock and

business with Eiron a few weeks ago
has brought suit for $1,000 damages
against Robstock and Hron, and has
attached three pieces of property.
1t is alleged that Kuehner and Hron
entered into partnership, and that
Hron and Rohstock devised a scheme
whereby Hron gave Robstock a note
for 1925 for no consideration, and
Robstock, suing up the note, tied UP
the possessions of Kuehner in the
