Up and Down
Pedchtree

Ever since Captain John Triplett, the
well known Thomasvlle sage and wise
philosopher, voted for Horace Greedy for
president of the United States in 1868,
he has persistently and consistently bet
a SIS hat on every subsequent Democratic
nominee
OF course, under that system, the cap
tain has lost every hat with the excep-
ton of two lonesome lids, that came to
him by the grace of Grover Cleveland
In 1884 and 1892.
These various bets, with the exceptions
noted. have always been won by Captain
Triplett's townsman, H. w. Hopkins.
Mr.. Hopkins is a stout-hearted and I'M
compromising Democrat, and only bets
against Captain Triplett because he hates
to think of a loathed Republican win
ming a Democratic hat-and besides. he
can use a new hat every four years, If
necessary.
Captain Triplett says he is getting tired
of furnishing hats for Bill" Hopkins,
and expects to get even with him this
year, or one hat nearer even, anyway.
The captain is strong for Underwood,
and thinks the ALBANIAN not only the
logical man for the nomination. but the
man sure to win. He is not only root
ing for Cnderwood--he says he is pray
ing for him.
Captain Triplett has. but one fear. If
Bryan should be nominated, the. Thomas
vile man says another good hat is
goner
He has notified old Bill Hopkins" that,
if Bryan is nominated. Triplett is game
enough TO buy the hat right away, and
let Biz have the use of 1t this sum-
mer
Hopkins says he really doesn't care q
boot whether he wins the hat this time
in fact. he rather hopes he will lose. But
he is in on the bet again, as usual, for
he doesn't propose that any old Repub-
lican shall have Tripletts skypiece, II
things go wrong with the Democrats in
November

CASE MADE
ON CUM VENDORS
Slot Machine Company Barred
From Atlanta Saloons to
Appeal Case.

Voluntarily having itself arrested and
laws as construed by Recorder Nash
Broyles, the Atlanta Gum Machine
Vending Company will fight to the
finish in the courts for the right to
operate it's slot machines in Atlanta sa
looms. War on these machines was de-
clared few days ago by Judge Broyles
when he ruled that they are operated
in direct violation of law, and ordered
that they be removed from saloons inn
mediately.
The company declined to accept the
recorders ruling and determined on a
test case. On request of Attorney j. A.
Branch. counsel for the company, Po-
flee Chief Beavers yesterday made a
case against T. c. Alexander, the man
ager and Judge Broyles imposed fine
of S2575. No issue was made as to the
facts Attorney Branch and Assistant
City Attorney w D. Ellis, representing
the city, agreeing to a written state
ment which was presented to the
court.
No Cases Pending Appeal.
The decision of the recorder will be
appealed II is probable that the su-
preme court of the United States Will
be asked to pass judgment before the
rights of the slot machine finally are
determined
Pending final decision, the police will
make no cases against saloonists who
may operate the machines.
Attorney Branch contends that the
machines of the gum vending company
are in no wise a gaming devise and
that the playing OF the machines can
not be construed as game of chance.
He says that q card posted on the ma
chimes indicates to the player exactly
what he will get when he deposits his
nickel, and that he always gets his
moneys worth, if not more
Judge Broyles ruled out the ma
chimes under the law that stipulates
that no wheel or other device, or game
Of chance, shall be operated in place
of business for the purpose of attract
ing trade.

AS a gentle, harmless satire upon
trade unionism and a pleasant enter
tainment as well, why Smith Left
Home" which the Harry Corson
Clarke company is now playing at the
Opera House, is a highly satisfactory
production. These players and their
play are pleasing; that is the first and
last impression you get at the Clarke
production. There are no problems
in it, especially no unsavory prob

quarters.
Henry B. Brown, formerly a mem.

NORWOOD MAKES
HIS BLIND DRIVE

Traffic was blocked at the corner
of Fort and King streets yesterday
by the crowd gathered to witness the
start and finish of the blindfold drive
made by Professor Norwood. The
crowd began to assemble at $3.50, and
by 4 o'clock mounted officers had to
be detailed to keep the streets par
TALLY cleared.
Promptly at a o'clock Professor
Norwood was taken in charge by a
committee and escorted to the Berg
strom Music Company, and another
committee, composed of Mayor Fern,
Captain Nelson of the police, Assist
ant Postmaster Kirby and two news
papermen, took their seats in the car
riage.
Mayor Fern handled the reins and
drove a devious course over the city
streets returning to the starting
point There the committee alighted
and Mayor Fern carefully secreted his
picket knife behind pipe fastened to
a telephone pole standing about 100
feet from the carriage.
Professor Norwood was then
brought from the music store, and
after being blindfolded, took the
reins. whipped the horses into a gal
lop and dashed up Fort street. On
reaching the corner of Beretania and
Nuuanu the minds of the committee
were evidently not acting in unison
and the horses were stopped After
the nerves of the committee had
quoted somewhat and they were cap
able Of concerted thought, start was
made and Professor Norwood drove
straight down Nuuanu to King street
completing the drive over the original
route and arrived at the startina
point amid the applause Of the crowd
Taking Mayor Ferns hand in his, the
mayor holding the hand of Captain
Nelson, he started on a run in the
direction of the hidden knife After
one false move to the opposite side
of the street, he located the telephone
pole and after a few moments search
found the knife, Everyone present
seemed well satisfied with the demon
