WILL PETITION THE MIKADO.
Resolution to Be Adopted by South

Resolution to Be Adopted by South
Georgia Conference Soon to Meet.
At the coming South Georgia Con-
ference, which will meet in Savan-
nah this month, it is understood that
a resolution will be offered urging
the Emperor of Japan to pardon Bar
on Yum of Korea, who recently, with
one hundred others, was convicted
for some alleged political offense
against Japan. He was sentenced
to penal servitude for ten years.
Baron Yum was a protege OF the
late Young J Allen and of Bishop
Warren A. Gambler of the Methodist
church. Adopting the christian re-
ligion at an early age he came to
America to be educated, and gradu-
ated later from Emory College,
Georgia. He afterwards took course
at Vanderbilt University and return
ed to Korea, serving for a while as
minister of education. His convic-
ton is believed by those who knew
him to be unwarranted, and has Gre
ated quite a storm of protest from
church papers.

LONDON.-Nota single laugh or
the indulgence in any unnecessary

around the world are the difficult
terms of a bet of $4,000 and the
trips expenses that Charles Meyers
of New York is seeking to win.
Mr.. Meyers is now in London, hav-
ing arrived on the liner President
Lincoln Tuesday, and up to date he
has thoroughly satisfied the stake
holders. He has not violated any of
the rules, being so thorough in their
observance that he only opened his
iips once in conversation during his
trip across the Atlantic. He is fol-
lowing a close laid itinerary, and is
to be met by persons at various
points who will see that he is OBJ
serving the terms of the bet being
placed on honor to do so in any pc
Rod that he may be unmatched. Mr..
Meyers ordered his meals on ship
board by pointing at the names OF
the edibles he desired printed on the
menu to his steward. He only deign-
ed to talk in sign language.

WASHINGTONC.-Thirty thous-

and of these, it is estimated, throng-
ed newspaper offices, watched cleo
ton returns from points of vantage
Or got close to private wires here
Tuesday night as returns from the
torty-eight sovereign states came in,
many shaking in their boots at the
thought that in the election of Wood
row Wilson their long tenure of office
must end. These twenty thousand
persons minded not the chill Novem-
Der night nor the jostle and noise OF
the crowds they met. Men who do
not come on the streets once in
dozen years at night and women OF
refinement who ordinarily would not

lent watches of the night. These per-
sons were not gay with the moving
crowd. The incoming returns meant
more to them than those around
could fathom. Would the election OF
Wilson and Marshall, with a subse-
quent upturning of the government
service, mean the loss of their jobs,
some of which have been held for
forty and fifty years? With strain
ing eyes they scanned returns from
Maine and Massachusetts, from South
Carolina and South Dakota, from
Vermont and Virginia; in fact from
the four points of this big country OF
more than ninety million souls. Fhe
result meant everything to them.
Although these 10000 persons
whose names are on the government
pay rolls, are mainly protected by
the civil service it is no absolute
Guarantee.
Aside from the civil service places
which will come to the democrats on
the old theory that Ito the victors
belong the spoils" there will, it is es-
timated, be not less than 10000
places to be distributed at the hands
OF Woodrow Wilson. AS an instance
OF this, there are something like

GEORGlA'S WILSON MAJORITY
Returns Show a Big Slump in the
Republican Vote Since -Four
Years Ago.

Woodrow Wilson will be able to
point with pride to the fact that he
carried the state of Georgia by the
greatest democratic majority record
ed since the war and also the largest
plurality.
Democracy certainly came into her
own in Georgia this time, and the
combined vote of the opposition this
wear does not equal the anti-demo-
cratic vote four years ago.
In 1908 the vote for Taft was APP
proximateIy 41,OOO and for Watson
about $4,000. This year the combin-
ed Roosevelt and Taft vote in Geor-
gia sums up only 27,112, while Will
son received 93,567 against about
$4,000 for Bryan in 1908.
Apparently the opposition to de-
mocracy in this state has slumped
steadily within the past four years.
in spite of the tremendous hurrah
and pull certain influences have kick
cd ND in order to create reflections.
Mrs. Wilson doubtless feels a glow
of deep satisfaction and pleasure for
the splendid majorities given her
husband in the two counties in Geor-
gia in which many years of her girl
hood days were spent. Floyd return
ed a democratic majority of 1.4O1
and Chatham 1924.

PIE TABLE NOW FOR DEMOCRATS

direct from the hands of Woodrow
Wilson.
1t has been a long time since Gro
YeT Cleveland was in the white house,
so long, in fact that the retrospect
seems hazy, and even longer since
the democrats have had a taste OF
that delicious federal pie. Waiting
has whetted their appetites for keeps
and the man who does not get his fill
within the next year will go hungry
either because he is not capable OF
filling a government job or because
he is too Indifferent to go after it.
"Way down South in Dixie land,
where the people have been fighting
like tigers for the success of Wilson
and Mashall and to keep the bull
moose from their doors the ap-
preaching feast looks most appetiz-
ing. Only to the congressman and
the senator's, who see loads of work
piled up ahead and constant visits
to the white house for their const1tu-
ents, is the sight not the most alIur-
ing. True they will pull off many
good job here and there for the peo-
pie at home, but it means much
work for them. Eating at second Ia
BILE for nearly twenty years has not
been to the liking of the democrats,
but now they may eat to their I'LL.
It's hard luck to the 10000 army,
but it's the spells of war. Tell your
congressman what you want, then
go after it.

CHALLENGES ALL GOVERNORS
GEORGIA EXECUTIVE SAYS NONE
CAN EQUAL HIS CORN RECORD.
Thinks 15S Bushels a Neat Little Pile
of Corn to Take From One
Acre of Ground,

ATLANTA, Ga.-Governor Brown
wishes to correct an impression pos
sibly resulting from recent publica-
ton of the fact that he had gathered
1853 bushels of fine corn-not nub-
bins-off one acre of ground on his
Cherokee farm.
THAT story might lead some folks
to believe that I had issued an open
and unqualified challenge to the
country for the corn-growing cham
pionship," said the governor.
But" he continued, Il wish most
emphattcally to correct any such i'm
preston. My sweeping challenge for
the corn raising belt or prize or hon
or is confined strictly to governors.
l lay down the gauge of combat at
corn production per acre to the chief
executives of the country, not even
excepting Governor Carroll Of Iowa,
who was a welcome visitor to our
capitol recently, and whose state has
some fame for the size of its corn
crops.
However, want it distinctly I'M
derstood that I exclude the boys Of
the corn clubs in Georgia from this
challenge. I think 1873 bushels

from one acre of ground, but l dare
say there are several score youths be-
tween the ages of 10 and IS in Geor-
gia who have produced much more
than that this year, and it has not
been altogether such favorable year
at that.
"I'Il tell you" said Gov. Brown,
who always wakes enthusiastic when
he gets on the subject of the boys

are doing, "these Georgia boys are

GLAD SHE ELOPED THIRD TIME
HUBBY ACCOMPANIED PAIR TO
STATION AND WAIVED BY-BY.
He Made Sure Before Their Depart
ure, However, That They Did Not
Have Any of His Money.

CHICAGO.-Mrs. Walter Evans of
Carrollton, H., has eloped for the
third time with William Burley, and
Walter doesn't care if she never
comes back. To show his indiffer-
ence on this point and his general
good will he accompanied them to
the station when they left the third
time, expressed the hope that they
would live happy ever after and way-
cd goodbye to them.
Evans had made sure, before see
ing them depart, that they did not
have any of his money with them.
He could worry along very well with
out his wife, but he needed his mon
ey to live on. The first time they ran
away they took $500 of his along,
and Evans pursued them relentlessly
until they were captured and brought
back in chains. 1t was town spec
tacle when the sheriff marched down
the main street with the man and
woman handcuffed to him.
After Evans had recovered $3.50 of
the amount, which was ABOUT 9zoV
more than he expected to see again,
he was so grateful to them for bring
ing that much back that he forgave
them and took Mrs. Evans home with
him. Burley was kept locked UP
few days and then released.
In a little while Burley and Mrs.
Evans skipped out again and were
found at Roodhouse and arrested and
brought back, but Evans again for
gave his wife on condition that she
quit clipping and stay at home, and
Burley again escaped prosecution.
But Mrs. Evans never did like Car
rollton and last week she told Evans
she thought she would run away with
Burley again. Evans said very well,
and went to the station with them
and saw them start to Jerseyville-

LARAMORE'S BODY ExHUMED
Prosecution Has Post Mortem Exami-
nation of Man Killed at Leslie.
Case Was Hard Fought.

Ease was ndFu FOuSHJ.
To the end of securing additional
evidence to be submitted to the court
in the preliminary trial of Luther Al
lison for the killing of Robert Lar
amore at Leslie the body of the de-
ceased was exhumed Thursday after
noon at the instance of the prosecu-
ton.
The purpose of this examination of
the body, it was said, was to deter
mine the exact location of the bullet
wounds inflicted by Mr.. Allison in
the pistol duel between the two men.
Four bullets from Allison's pistol
struck Laramore within a small area
of the breast, while two or three Of
Laramore's shots pentrated Allison S
overcoat, glancing shots evidently,
which cut the cloth only, although
one bullet is said to have made a
slight flesh wound.
The preliminary trial was held Sat
urday in Americas before Judge w.
NJ Harper of the city court, and re-
Quilted in the release of the defend
ant.
The trial was one of intense inter
est throughout, and was stubbornly
contested by attorneys both for the
prosecution and the defense. The
state was represented by Attorneys
J. R. Williams, j. A. Hixon and L. J.
Blalock of Americas and H. A. Wiki
inson of Dawson, while Attorneys W.
T. Lane and J. B. Hudson of Amer1-
