- Nm Amar-I-o

Just before the rain and hail
of Saturday afternoon a Jolly
party of our citizens left ANA
rl'lo in two automobiles TO en-
ioy a fish on the Miller ranch
on the canyon.
In the party were Sam B.
Motlow. J. Kerby, Len McCie-
land. Judge Jeter and Judge
Graham. About four miles south
of Amarillo the hail struck them
and they were compelled to
cast anchor.
The hail at this point vas
much heavier than in Amarillo.
All agree that it was the size
of an apple ana a big apple at
that. At any rate it peppered
through the automobile top and
as there was no life boats to
use for hats they wrapped their
heads in blankets as a protec-
ton from the heavy hail stones.
Some of the party crawled under
one of the automobiles.
Sam Motlow says that when
the hail started it jumped a
Jack rabbit who started across
the prairie but ran only a short
distance until killed by the hail
stones. A coyote was seen run
ming and jumping from side to
side unsteadily through the heavy
hail.
Ii is understood that in an
other automobile. the names of
the occupants were not learned.
a gentleman was severely cut in
the forehead by a hail stone

ThoughtfuIness

As a rule people are more APP
preciauve than we think. They
are lacking in thoughtfulness
rather than in appreciatIve SEN
uments. A courtly Christian
minister had been Hospitality re-
ceived and treated in a brother
preachers home. Not once
only but several times in a
series Of years a few words Of
love and appreciation are sent
How sweet is that aroma Of
thoughtfulness,
Many a good man has received
like courtesies and yet never
thought 70 say or write a word of
appreciation. We are writing
of something vastly different
from the formal. social note of
thanks from a guest at a society
function to the hostess which
etiquette demands. We cannot
better show our meaning than
to quote from the short message
referred to above. II runs like
this: Il must stop your work
long en- ough to say have not
forgotten your great kindness to
to me. 1 shall never cease to
love you. +"
That is the real. the genuine
feeling of appreciation sent by
the thoughtful man. We have
known cases where kindness
seemed to be forgotten or con-
demned, but an accidental re-
mark by the third party re-
vealed the fact that the benefic-
iary was not ungrateful but
merely unthoughtful. Texas

HEALTHY LIVER
MAKES BEAUTY
Famous Ac ress Finds that a Healthy
Liver is Necessary to Good Looks
and YouthfuIness.

One of the best known women of the
American stage is writing a series of
articles on the preservation of beauty.
She attaches great Importance to keep
ing the liver active at all times. and she
is right. Neither good looks nor hap
piness viii stay long with any man or
woman who let's the liver get lazy and
sluggish.
1t is not always safe to take calomel
the old liver remedy. Doctors agree
that it is a very uncertain drug. But
all Atlanta drug stores have a remedy
for sale that they guarantee to take
the place of caomel absolutely, and
still be harmless, causing no restriction
of habit or diet. This remedy is Dod-
sons Liver Tone.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting vegetable LIQUID, but it starts
the liver gently and surely and relieves
constipation and bilOusness so prompt
ly that it has become a dependable
remedy in thousands of homes in the
United States. There are scores of fam
lilies in this vicinity who will not be
without it in the house and who would
not think of starting on a trip without
a bottle of it.
Atlanta druggists have sold so much
Dodsons Liver Tone that they are con-
WINGED of its merit and will give any
person his so cents back who buys
bottle and does not find that it takes
the place of calomel to perfection.

Atlanta, Ga Oct. IA, 1912
To the Editor of The Georgian:
One could not have read with dis
eliminating eye the arguments to the
voter in behalf of the two candidates
for mayor in Sundays papers without
being impressed with marked differ
ence in controversial tone
The committee representing Nh
Woodward presented its argument in a
way to direct the attention of the voter
TO his opponents reversal of position on
the sociological question, and to sim
pie discussion of material needs.
The committee representing Mr.
Chambers presented its side of the
question in a vain attempt to brow
beat the voter into timid acceptance.
1t is probable that there has never
been campaign, waged for municipal
or other office. in the history of the
country, wherein so many designs were
employed 10 becloud the thought throt-
tie the expression and intimidate the
decision Of the voter
And this, l may add. in deliberate
conservatism, is responsible for the pos
tive manifestation of a sentiment OF
rebuke which will elect Mr.. Woodward
on Tuesday.
The people of Atlanta will not have
notions of propriety beat into them by
harsh blows from men who have en-
dangered standards of delicacy by their
own broad references to social evils
which should have never fallen under
the eyes of innocence and purity.
The occasional misStep of weak hu-
man nature is not near so threatening
to that indeinable essence which is
drank in around the gentle freside, as
is the saacious stuff that comes
through the publicity agencies of So
Geological bureaus, used as stalking
horse for the qualification of political
ambition.
Ny Chambers was right in his first
answer to the gentlemen who are in

in the work of correction, when he con-
tended that the suggested method of
regulation was wrong. and that "he did

BEN BLACKBURN SAYS
STOP PAINTING ATLANTA
AS A MODERN SODOM

As it is Atlanta has been advertised
| to the world as a modern Sodom.
whereas there is probably not city Of
| its size that was better regulated be-
| fore this discussion began.
Whatever may be said of the mis-
takes of Mr. Woodward am not his
apologiSt, and am not a member of his
committee-it is a fact that his cam
paign letters. so far S 1 have read are
| in striking contrast to those written by
! his opponent. So it is not Mr.. Wood
ward or his committee that has Haunted
hurtful information about Atlanta to
| the outside world The responsibility
| must rest upon them who have used
this questionable method of campaign
ing to encompass him in defeat
The effort to make it appear other
wise but impresses the Biblical QUOTA
ton: Woe unto them that are wise in
their own eyes and prudent in their
| own conceit."
| The Pharisaical bearing of some of
| them who are directing Mr.. Chambers
campaign, as exhibited in the unchar-
liable criticism of those voters who do
not see the question as they present it.
| is suggestive of an inspired story:
Two men went up into the temple to
pray-the one Pharisee and the other
a publican.
THE Pharisee prayed thus with him
self: God, / thank thee that l am not
as other men are. extortioners, unjust
and adulterers, or even as this pub
| lican'
And the publican, standing afar off,
! would not so much as lift up his eyes
unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,
and said: God, be merciful to me,
sinner"
Christ adds: 81 tell you this man
! the publican-went down to his house
justified. rather than the other"
In all kindness, | commend this beau
tifully natural story to the Incorporate
and uncharitabe controversialist-an
| this:
IF you forgive not men their tres
passes, neither will your Father forgive
you"
The people may well view, with just
| alarm. the tendency of some of our
| ministers to use the chuPch and the
pulpit in a way calculated to embitter
| those whose violence should be held in
gentle restraint.
1t is an awful thought that good men
| of the Gospel will allow themselves to
be so sWayed by politico- religious zeal
as to have not even a word Of charity
| to utter in behalf Of a fellow man
| scourged for no other reason than he
| has exercised the constitutional right
| of aspiring to public office.
But the people are holding the scales.
| fair play still wells in the breasts Of
men. and the voters of Atlanta will to-
morrow put a bride on the venomous
| tongues and stay the pen of bitterness.
