it's possibilities and he soon took up the
work. He first came into prominence
in Atlanta when he was engaged as one
of the two Southern managers Of the
Buick company, with headquarters in
Atlanta. Later he resigned from that
company and went with the Odds Oak
land company. Later still he organ
lied the Cole Motor Company of
Georgia and has since been connected
with that organization, of which he is
president
Mr. Long has been an enthusiastic
booster and a tireless worker for the
show.
The Man Who Does the Work.
The man on whom a vast deal Of the
burden and very little OF the publicity
connected with the local association
and its show is f. H. Elleby, secretary
and treasurer of the A. A. and A. A.
and assistant manager Of the Atlanta
| Firestone branch house. Mr. Elleby is
an Albanian, born and raised, and for
some years was connected with the
Southern Cotton Oil Company. When
the Corl5er Motor Car Company was
organized to handle Haynes and Math-
eson cars, Mr.. Elleby went with that
| company. Later he was engaged by
Wylie West and he has since been
connected with the Firestone branch.
Mr.. Elleby is tremendous worker
and in handling the detail work of the
! organization he has always had plenty
to do. He has proved most efficient
and doubtless deserves as much credit
for the good work Of the association
and the success of the shows as any
other man, with a couple of exceptions.

can afford them. That's what the
show will help us do.
"A show is big publicity affair for
the automobile game. 1t does good for
everybody connected with the industry.
There may be a few who do not sell
enough cars at the show to pay the
expenses. But If they don't, they will
get enough advertising out of 1t to pay
them a dozen times over.
And when the statistics are made
out next year you can take my word
for II that Georgia will not be so near
the bottom in the table of automobile
distribution. And the show will be the
reason"
The constantly downward tendency
In the matter Of price is helping in the
thorough distribution of the machines
From statistics. It appears that the
nigh water mark Of values was reached
in 1907, when the average ear sold FOR
s2,1375G, next year the average price
dropped 70 si92G94. In 1909 1t was

AUTOMOBILE NOTES

Brakes not properly adjusted are the
cause of many castings wearing out pre-

One drum IS sometimes tighter than

son worked his way into a tidy bit OF
money and such considerable promi-
hence that he was elected mayor of his
home city, and that at time when he
was an extremely young man for an
important political position.
When the automobile business begaA
to open up in the South, George Han
son decided that the selling of auto
mobiles was a pursuit that suited his
fancy So he packed up and came to
Atlanta.
Hanson Grabs the EMF.
About that time the EMF Company
was electrifying the United States with
its amazing advertisements and its
amazing car and George Hanson de-
cided that the EMF was undeniably
the c, ne wanted to sell.
This once arranged clearly in his
mind. the rest was certain-but far
from easy The officials of the EMF
Company, to whom Hanson applied d.
rectly, did not know whether they cared
to risk their business in an important
state to a man who appeared to them
raw countryman, with little or no au-
tomobile experience. But they did not
realize then what determination they
were up against. Mr. Hanson contin-
ued to stick around and present his
case They did not want him, but that
did not in the least interfere with his
plans So he stuck and they put him
of And after awhile the EMF Com
pany capitulated, named George w.
Hanson as their Georgia representative
and he's been selling E-M-Fs ever
since, Right now he is the highest paid
automobile man in Atlanta, which I'M
doubtedly means tho highest paid auto
mobile man In all the South.

issue, It was George w Hanson who

A DANGEROUS SPORT.

A skin grating operation was per-
formed in a Gary hospital yesterday,
which it is believed will save the life
of Ethel Smith. an eighteen-year-old
girl who nearly lost her life when
she was burned while double-riding
on a motorcycle with her sweet
heart
Besides the terrible suffering that
she has gone to and the doubtful
possibilities of the future it viii cost
Ethel Smiths father hundreds OF
dollars for the doctor bills; and it
has already cost her mother infinite
anguish.
If there is any sport that is dang
erous it is double-riding on a motor
cycle and death always turks near
when the second rider, as in thi.
case, is seated on the gasoline tank
But it goes on just the same.

TARIFF AND PRICES.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune says the following
Sir: As a reader of your paper l
would like answers to the following
questions:
What is the reason that beef IS
not imported from Argentina when
the duty is only one and one-half
cents a pound?
Why have raw hides advanced
since the duty was taken off?
Why has coffee advanced in price
some IS per cent in the last two or
three years and no duty on it?
What proportion of rice used in
the United States is imported, and
what is the duty?
rs news paper any cheaper since
bit came in free from Canada?
When did we begin making steel
rails in the United States and what
was the price a ton then?
What is the cost of the wool that
tit takes for a suit of clothes?
These questions might be put to
Governor Wilson, who seems so cock
lsure that the protective tariff is re-
sponsible for high prices.

EFT IA BRUTUS!

The Benton Review, rank
pizen" Democratic paper in Benton
county, has the following to say
Of the Hon. r. j. Crumpacker. It
win be remembered that Roby
fought Mr. Crumpaeker teeth and
toe-nail' IN the last campaign. but
he, too. like Peterson. Of Crown
Point. hit the 'stone wall"
Present Indications are that
Congressman r. d. Crumpacker

congressional district at the No
vember election unless a landsile
should develop Of whic hthere are
no signs at present. in this coun-
~ at Rensselaer, Repubn-

That Roby fought Judge Crum
packer teeth and toe-nail is puttini
it mildly indeed He used a lot 0
other tools besides his teeth and toe
nails. and it would be extremely in

therefore, with something Of a shock
now and then to discover that a
hero may be not only very far short
Of an Apollo, but actually handicap
ped by infirmity- In this instance
there was something of the heroic in
the lifelong battle which this I'M
fortunate has made in the struggle
for existence. Doomed to bear a
handicap that would have daunted
all but the stoutest heart. he has not
quailed He has manfuly fought
for the right to live, and has won
the respect of his community.
Doubtless it was this staunch
spirit, taught by years of his own
suffering, that leaped at the chance
to help one more pitifully stricken
than himself. The sympathy that
springs from experience with suffer
ing is quicker and keener than all
other That be had never seen the
girl makes his sacrifice absolutely
Iimpersonal. of the Hottest type
