VIRGINIA EXPECTS
To RECOVER HERO
Making Effort to Remove Body
of Light Horse Harry Lee
From Georgia.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. Hugh A.
White, of Rockbridge, chairman Of the
special committee of the Virginia leg
islature to supervise the transfer Of the
body of Light Horse Harry Lee from
Cumberland Island, Ca, to Virginia, re
ports that he has obtained the formal
request of some members Of the Lee
family for disinterment and hopes to
hear favorably from a sufficient num-
Der of other survivors to satisfy An
drew Carnegie, owner Of Cumberland
island, who has refused to allow the
body to be removed to Virginia unless
surviving members of the Lee family
cooperate in the request for removal,
Mr.. White, while in Richmond en-
route to the annual meeting of the
state bar association. al Old Point,
said that he hoped to have every
thing in proper shape in the course of
few weeks. He believes the acqui-
essence of the leading members Of the
Lee family in the undertaking will
overcome the protests Of the patriotic
societies of Georgia which wish the
body of the Revolutionary hero and
father of General Robert z. Lee to con-
tinue undisturbed in its present rest
ing place.
An act was passed by the last Vir-
ginta Legislature appropriating the nee
essary funds for the removal of the
body to Virginia, and if the plan is
carried through it will be placed in
the Lee vault at Lexington.
The act sets forth the wish of the
people of Virginia that the body of this
distinguished citizen should finally rest
in his native state. He was buried in
Georgia because he died on the island
while returning from a trip to Cuba in
search of health.

BROWNSVILLE, Ga, WANTS
TAMPA NORTHERN FINISHED

BROWNSVILLE, GA, Aug. 7.-Wheth-
er the Seaboard Air Line viii complete
the Tampa Northern into Thomasville is
a question Thomasvile people have been
asking ever since the report was given
out recently that the Seaboard had pur-
chased that property from the Atlanta.
Birmingham and Atlantic road.
The Tampa Northern was started with
the primary object of reaching Thomas
vile and the road was completed as far
as Brooksville when financial difficulties
prevented its being built any further. A
survey had been made to Thomasville
and all arrangements completed to bring
the road here, this place being considered
the legitimate terminus Of the line.
Thomasville people would. of course. be
very glad to have the Seaboard finish the
work, as it would mean much for the city
Should it be done, with the extension OF
the Atlantic Coast Line completed to
Tampa, brownsville would form gate
way to western Florida.

SWATTING FLIES is
MURDER, DECLARES
PASTOR IN SERMON

DENVER, Aug. 7.-Swatting flies is
murder; the cabbage has the same night
to live as man; plants are conscious; it
is a sin to kill an egg; only nuts and ripe
fruit are legitimate food for man: a real
ization of this truth will be the next ad-
vance beyond simple vegetarianism
These are some 'of the statements made
by the Rev. DR.. Prather in his sermon at
the Second Church of Divine Science In
this city
Flies, bedbugs, feas and other verrnin
all have their proper places in the world
They can be expelled from our homes by
a proper mental attitude, said DR.. Pra-
Their. He admits that he still kills vege-
tables for food, but explains that he has
not reached the spiritual level that en-
ables him to practice his theories.

Gertrude Atherton Returns
From Munich to Frisco to
Exercise Ballot Right.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Gertrude
Atherton, the novelist, today proudly
admitted that she had travelled 5000
miles In order to vote at the presiden-
tiaI election.
II would be in Munich now for the
music If full citizenship had not been
granted to the women of California, ~
she said. "As soon as I knew last year
that California women had been en-
franchised I resolved that nothing
should prevent me from casting my
first presidential vote this year.
80 1 came here from Munich and the
first thing I did upon arriving was to
register. 1 shall remain here until No
vember I miss the music Of Munich,
but it is better to be a good citizen"
Although Mrs. Atherton calls herself
"a citizen of the world" her home is in
California. When she was here last
year she Joined the College Equal Fran
chise league and took great interest in
the campaign for votes for women.
81 regret to find" said Mrs. Atherton,
that the women of San Francisco are
neglecting the privilege Of citizenship
which they enjoy, They can not be too
severely criticised for this.
why, look at the women of Eng
land. They are quite willing to suffer
tortures in jail over and over again,
or to die, for the right of suffrage.
"The women of New York-thousands
and thousands of them-look to Cali
fornia with longing because. here the
women have their inestimabe boon
equal suffrage"

CANDLERNOT To
RUN FOR MAYOR
Physicians Orders Make Can
didaCy Impossible Judge to
Support Any Good Man.

In a formal statement issued to The
Georgian today Judge John s. Gambler
announces finally that he will not be-
come candidate for mayor of Atlanta
His physician has placed him under life
and death orders to confine himself to
one hour of work day. Judge Gambler
declared that as yet he will make no
expression Of his choice for mayor. His
statement says in part
In view of the fact that / have had
more than so letters from friends
throughout the city since Monday ask
ing me to enter the race for the may
orally and in view of my physical con-
dition, l must take this way of answer
ing that l have no idea of becoming a
candidate for mayor of Atlanta in the
present conditions. To hold and have
opportunity for performing the duties
of the office would be great honor and
one of which any man might be proud
The office of mayor Of Atlanta for the
next two years will give occasion for
and demand such service as no mayor
of the city, in my judgment, has ever
yet had.
These duties will demand strength
Of body. strength of mind and strength
of character, and all the time Of any
man, however capable he may be. They
will require of any man fit to hold the
office entire sacrifice of business and all
other engagements"
Many Men Fit For Place.
Judge Gambler says that there are
many men in Atlanta able to make the
sacrifice and measure up to the respon-
sibilities of the office, and he adds that
he will support such a man.
Il already have given the greater
part of four years to the service of the
city" he declared, "and have yet two
more years as alderman, and l do not
think it my duty to seek more onerous
duties or more eXacting ones, though
thoroughly appreciate the reward that
will come to him who will perform the
duties of this great and growing city"
In declining to accede to the wishes
Of his friends, many of whom are al
dermen with whom he has served, Judge
Gambler says he refuses to run solely
because he believes Atlanta can find a
man better able to serve her and one
who could do so with less sacrifice than
himself at this time

His Is a Real Fight for Congress
COOPER'S RACE NO JOKE
Macon Lawyer Shows Voters
He Really Means to Go to
Washington.

When John Randolph Cooper, well
known Macon lawyer, announced him
self candidate for congress from the
Sixth district, some folks laughed and
thought it good joke on Cooper.
Now, after Cooper has been in the
race several months and the hot cam
paign is drawing to a close, these same
on Cooper or not.
The congressman holding down the
job from the Sixth district is c. L.
Bartlett, also a Macon lawyer, and he
has been holding down the job for
eighteen years. Cooper said Bartlett
had held 1t long enough and it was
time for him TO retire or be retired. In
asmuch as Bartlett had no intention
of retiring, Cooper got busy to get him
retired.
He has made a whirlwind campaign
and says he will keep it up until the
date for the primary. He has told the
voters frankly that he was not urged
to make the race by a multitude of
friends. as most of those seeking Office
to rum that he just wants the job and
has always had an ambition to repre-
sent his folks in the halls of congress.
Cooper a Real Fighter.
He is a fighter, too, is John Randolph
Cooper. He can use his fists as well as
he can fight through every court in the
land for a client He doesn't know
what 1t is to quit He worked his way
and fought his way through the Uni
versity of Georgia. He played football
there, and they say he was as much of
a bulldog In that game as he was in
other games of life.
He had to fight when he began prac-
ticing law in Macon. Some people rid
iculed Cooper and thought he was a
joke So one day he thought he'd show
them a thing or two and he did it by
throwing another lawyer out of a court
room window
After that folks quit fooling with
Cooper.
Cooper specialized in criminal law
and for the past ten or fifteen years he
has been connected with most of the

few other states of the South He is
known in Washington, D. c., almost as
we'll as he is known here, for when he
fails to get action for a client in the
courts here he beats 1t to Washington
with some new legal point.
He took the famous Rawlings case
there a time or two and it nearly broke
his heart when he wrote old man Raw
lings and told him to prepare to meet
his God. He confessed to the old mar
that all hope had gone. But he saved
old man Rawlings three sons and aftel
five years work he was made happy
when Governor Hoke Smith pardoneC
two of them. Cooper always has beer
firm in his belief that the three boys
had no hand in the bloody Lowndes
county work and he does not think old
man Rawlings was mentally RESPONSE

.R. D. CAMPBELL,
MERCHANT DIES
Pneumonia Is Fatal to Pioneer
Coal OeaIer-Came to At
Ianta 80 Years Ago.

Richard Orme Campbell. president of
the r. O. Campbell Coal Company and
one of Atlantas most prominent citi-
zens, died at his residence, S65 Peach
tree street, at 9 o'clock this morning.
But few of his friends knew that his
illness was serious. Little more than a
week ago he had an attack of pneu-
monia which confined him to his bed.
For several days his condition was
unchanged, then yesterday it showed a
slight improvement. Late last night a
relapse came which led to his death to-
day.
Mr. Campbell was one of the first
men to establish a coal business in At
lanta. That was more than 80 years
ago. His firm prospered and later two
brothers. Beulow Campbell and Crewen
Campbell became associated with him.
The company now owns large coal lands
in north Georgia, Tennessee and Ken
lucky.
Native of MiIedgeviIle.
Mr. Campbell was born at Milledge-
vile, Ga, March %. 1860, where his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Beulow
Campbell lived until their death. When
but % years old he came to Atlanta.
He gave most of his attention to his
business. Not once did he seek a pub
lie office and he gave but little of his
time to fraternal matters. He Joined
the Ellls several years ago, This was
the only fraternal order to which he
belonged
Shortly after coming to this city he
married Miss Harriet Bum Wimberly.
! They had two children, Miss Isolene
Campbell, now a popular member of
the younger society set, and a son,
Richard Campbell. Mrs. Campbell and
the two children survive him, as do his
brothers and several distant relatives
in Atlanta.

BAR HARBOR, Aug. because of
the tendency toward frivoity that has
become apparent in this erstwbile

censors Of community morals have
taken 1t on themselves to post warn

read
