LATE AND
COTTON IS SAFE
Danger to Crop Is Past. as Ex-
pected Cold Fails to Develop
in Georgia.

Atlanta has slipped one over on the
weather man. Yesterday was October
II. and. according to all averages and
statistics compiled by the student of
the elements. frost should have de-
seconded upon Atlanta before or by
THU sday morning But it did not, and
now there is no indication of danger
from frost for many days to come.
The first frost should come by Octo-
Der II and the first killing frost by No
vember 7. Unless winter stirs himself
most valiantly, not even a light frost
will fall before the 18th of next month
and the cotton crop is safe.
Everything depended upon the late
ness of winter If there came an early
killing frost a great part of the cotton
crop would have been destroyed, be-
cause the cotton crop was some two
weeks late owing to a very rainy
spring. But now all the bols will have
full opportunity to develop and the cot
ton crop of the South will not be cut.
1t will probably be raining tomorrow,
though Sunday should be one of the
most beautiful days Of the fall, accord
ing to the weather man. He thinks
that warmer and clearer weather will
continue for many days after Saturday.
as there are no indications of either
cold or unsettled climatic conditions
anywhere in the United States.

VETERANS NURSE
ACCUSER Of VIM
Immediate Removal of Sol
dierS' Home Trustee Asked in
Petition to Governor.

Sensational charges of misconduct
were filed with Governor Brown today
against Thomas e. Winn, of Madison, a
trustee of the Confederate Soldiers
home in Atlanta, and chairman of a
sub committee from the board of trus-
tees investigating conditions within the
home.
The charges against VIM are
brought by Hugh CoIouitt. and with
them was filed an affidavit from the
head hospital nurse Mrs. Mackie Glare,
setting forth drunkenness upon the part
Of VIM, and improper advances to-
ward the head nurse.
Colquitt charges that Winn has Wis
tied the home upon more than one oc-
casion in an intoxicated condition; that
he has made unheard- of demands upon
the home for meals and lodgings dur
ing his visits to Atlanta. and that upon
one occasion he attempted gross famil-
iarity with the head nurse.
The petitioner suggests to the gov
ernor the advisability of removing VIM
Immediately from the board of trus-
tees.
Governor-To Investigate.
The governor has the charges under
consideration. and will take no action
upon them until he has looked thor
oughly into the matter and informed
himself as to the exact truth of the
situation set forth.
Mrs. Clare. in her affidavit to the
governor, says that Winn has visited
the home upon numerous occasions in a
drunken condition. and that he so up
set her by his advances at one time
that she was badly frightened, and be-
came afraid that harm might come to
her at Winn's hands.
Winn was a member of the board of
trustees several years ago, but was
dropped from the board when it was
organized under Governor Brown. Sub
sequently he was reappointed by Gov
efnor Smith.
Mrs. Glare called upon the governor
today. accompanied by two friends, and
held a long conference with the execu-
tive concerning the charges.

hand, and I'm going to wire the pa
pers over my own signature that

The governor had no time at the hos
pital for a prolonged interview Az
soon as he left the Roosevelt apartment
he was rushed to an auto and taken to
fill his noon program.
The condition of Colonel Roosevelt il
so satisfactory at 1880 o'clock today
that the medical men in charge of the
case decided at that hour to issue no
further bulletins as to Mr.. Roosevelts
condition until 8 p. m.
To Leave for Home
Monday or Tuesday.
Colonel Roosevelt will leave Tuesday
for Oyster Bay He will then take ten
days rest and will re-enter the CAM
paign for a strenuous. whirlwind finish
These plans were tentatively made to-
day after the surgeons assured Mrs.
Roosevelt that while theoretically the
colonel would not be out of danger until
tonight, he virtually had progressed so
far that all danger had passed
kilograms were today sent TO Oyster
Bay regarding preparations for receiv-
ing the colonel. These telegrams fixed
the time of departure tentatively at
Tuesday. It is barely possible that the
start may be made on Monday
Colonel Roosevelt expects to conduct
the campaign from Sycamore Hill dur

TURNING OWN is scANDALoUs.

1t has been predicted that the Colonel would
be a bad loser, and this is one prediction. which
the Colonel has made haste to confirm There is
doubt that the Colonel has realized what will
be the result Of the Chicago convention. The
word bully no longer occupies place in the
Roosevetian vocabulary. Since North Dakota
kicked the sombrero out of the ring and New
York declared for Taft by 83 to T. the Colonel
has been clnging convulsively to the word scan
dalous. " At first he 'scandaous later he wall
ed it and he mutters scandalous." 1t is
probable that this will be the last word of his
political career. When future sculptors chisel the
Colonel it will be with an expression OF shocked
surprise and above the bust will be the Roosevelt
raven in the act of croaking 'scandalous' with
the persistency of Poes raven mutterng Never
more. =
For scandalous' has become the burden of
the Roosevelt lay and will remain so for the rest
of the campaign Further reports from the states
will bring more news of sscandalous' character
from the Roosevelt point of view Present lndlca-
tons are that the Colonels pretenslons Will be
disposed of in the first ballot at Chicago, which
will of course, be superlatively 'scandalous.
In few short weeks the Colonel has changed
his attitude from that of patronizing and pater
nal interferer to that OF peevlsh scold. only a
short time ago the Colonel said: : Ii the people
do as | think they should not do | will submit
to their will" Evidently the people are gong to
do inst what the Colonel thinks that they should
not do but the Colonel is not going to submit
gracefully to their will while he has breath left
to say scandalous
There was nothing 'scandalous" in the Colonel
running for third term after he had stated
clearly that under no circumstances, would he be
a candidate or permit himself to be a candidate
again But there was something decidedly scan
daous'' in the Colonel being held to the terms OF
this statement There nothing scandalous
in the parable of the coffee cup, which should
have demonstrated that II will not meant -
will Only the interpretations of the parable
are s'scandalous" Like the painted lady IN the
play Roosevelt is misunderstood The country is
''scandaous (" not the Colonel 1t is 'scandalous .
to turn down the Colonel, and he is being turned
down sscandalously. IS. F. Post.
