ton prominence is given to the follow
ing letter from ex-mayor Herbert Clay
on the subject of Hon. Oscar Under
woods candidacy for president;

porters of Hon. Oscar Underwood, OF
the state of Alabama, are active in
his interests in Georgia in the coming
presidential primary. will take pleas
ure in doing all l can in the interest OF
Mr.. Underwood's candidacy.
''In the first place he is an old line
democrat, true to his party, and has
made record that has not been equal
ed by any democrat in years.
In the second place, he is not only
able, but is conservative, and l believe
he will have the active support of the
conservative element in all parts of
the country.
'Tn the third place, he is southern
man, and the south has always stood
by democratic principles. Underwood
is the man who should be nominated
by all means"

Liked to Be ouIIed."

Sir William Gull, the well-known
London physician. was once the vic
tim of an amusing piece of repartee
on the part of a fellow practitioner.
The occasion was dinner party at
which several distinguished medical
men were present. The conversation
happened to turn upon the subject of
quackery, and Sir William Gull ev-
pressed his conviction that a certain
amount of it was essential to success
in practice, adding: ut is an exam
pie Of the old saying, 'Populus vult
decipi'" (people like to be deceived).
Quite so,' said the host; now, can
any one present give an English
equivalent to that?" Nothing easier,
dryly remarked a well-known physi-
clan Of one of the Manchester hos
pitfalls. 'The public liked to be
'gulled.'"

The merchants of Atlanta are not only
buying the Red Cross seals this year, but

The committee is anxious to see them
used, because the use of the stamp Gre
