Atlanta Churches Change and
Pray for Jim Woodward.

Atlanta, Oct. 21.-"Men and Re-
ligion" got down on its knees again
yesterday in Atlanta, but it prayed
for Jim Woodward and not against
him.
The very people who filled the
churches Sunday one week ago with
their supplications to the Almighty to
help them put Woodward out of bus
mess at the polls, went back to the
churches yesterday to pray the Lord
to uphold Jim Woodward's hands.
Which means, in plain political
language, that Jim Woodward is to
have no opposition in the general city
election in December. Two or three
men, it is rumored, tried to see if
they could arouse any sentiment in
favor Of bringing out an independent.
They met with such indignant re-
fusal, it is said, that the idea was i'm
mediately abandoned. 1t is admitted
now by concerned that the result
of the prin.-ry will stand as the will
of the people.

RETURNED AFTER MANY DAYS
Bottle, Thrown into River at Louis
vile Found Off California Coast.

Louisville, KY, October 19.-Throw-
ing tightly corked bottle, containing
her name and address, into the Ohi>
River nearly five years ago, Miss
Nora Lee of 104 East Gray street,
Louisville, did not hear from it until
today, when she learned that it had
been picked up off San Diego, Cal.
The finder, Charles Collins, of To-
ledo, Ohio, Sent Miss Lea the slips of
paper she had placed in the bottle,
saying he had fished it out of Corona
do Bay, while on a visit to Califor-
MIA.
Capt. John F. c. Hedgewald, U. S.
A., retired, of Louisville, whose inter
est was attracted by the incident,
probably will make report to the
United States coast and geodetic sur

down the Ohio into the Mississippi,
through the Gulf of Mexico and across
the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans
before it was finally washed up on the
coast of California

MAN FOUND DEAD IN
HOTEL IN COLUMBIA.
DR.. ]. A. Milhoue of Perry, Died bv
Asphixiation-Believed to be Ac-
cident-After Investigation Coroner
Announced that Inquest was Not
Necessary.
Mondays State)

Mondays State)
DR.. j. A. Milhouse of Perry, in All
ken county, was found dead in his
room at the Imperial hotel about noon
yesterday, death having been due to
asphyxiation. The coroner, r. d.
Walker, after a thorough investiga,
tion, announced that he did not deem
1T necessary to hold an inquest.
DIR. Milhouse came to Columbia
Saturday with DR.. L. B. Etheridge OF
Wagner, who had been seriously cut
and brought here for treatment. An
operation was performed on Ether
idge Saturday and about 1890 Sun
day morning DR.. Milhouse came to
the hotel and went to his room. When
he was not seen yesterday morning,
the management went to his room
and, finding the door locked, looked
over the transom and saw DR.. Mill
house lying in bed dead. A boy was
sent through the transom and he
opened the door. The coroner was
notified Immediately and investigated
IHe case.
The gas jet was about two inches
from the electric light. 1t is supposed
that DR.. Milhouse, coming in tired
after the days work, turned the gas
jet by mistake, and when no light
came he then turned the electric light
switch. 1t is supposed that he did
not notice the gas escaping and thus
went to sleep, unaware of the escap>
ing gas.
The remains were carried to Perry
last night. The funeral will be near
Salley. DR.. Millhouse is a promi-
nent man, a member of a prominent
South Carolina family, and had many
friends over the State who are grieveo
to hear of his death.

How He Saved the Day.

Three bright young men were
spending their vacation in camp, and
they had agreed to draw lots to deter
mine which one should do the cook
ing. 1t was also agreed that if any,
one should complain about the food
ne should be required to take the
cooks place. In the drawing, Slasher

set about his culinary duties.
When the toast was placed on the
table McAfee, the law student, gave it
look and yelled:
"Ye gods and little fishes This
toast is burned to a charcoal on one
side" Then, recollecting the penalty
in store for complainers, he hurried
on to say: "But that's the very way

CHARLESTON COUNTY FAIR.

CHARLESTON never does things
by halves, as is shown by the way it
has taken hold of its county fair, to be
held during the week of November
18, to %, 1912. Reports coming from
the city show that not only will
Charleston have one of the greatest
county fairs ever held in the State.
but that in addition will have the u.
5. Fleet of warships, thirteen battle.
ships of the first class, and about
twenty-five or more Cruisers, Torpedo
boats, and other auxiliary vessels.
The programme now mapped out by
the city for the entertainment of the
officers and men of the fleet is of a
most elaborate order. The committee
IN charge of the programme represent
all classes of the community, each
man being a hustler. Generally speak
ing the entertainment will consist of
field sports, aquatic sports, joint ar
my and navy parades, barbecues,
oyster roasts, smokers, balls and
fair ground entertainments.
There is no city on the South At
lantic coast capable of entertaining
such large fleet in it's harbor as the
one that will visit Charleston during
It's fair week. 1t will be an occasion
fsuch magnitude that every South
Carolinian should be proud that its
metropolis is capable of getting away
with such an event which probably
not more than half dozen cities in
the United States could carry Off
none of the harbors being deep enough
or large enough to contain such a COL
lection of Men of War.
One Of the most important events
of the week will be the Army and
Navy parade. 1t is expected that
there Will be about ten thousand men
in line of march, including thousands
OF biue-jackets from the visiting ships,
U. s. Marine Corps, U. S. Artillery,
Naval Reserves, the entire militia of
the state Of South Carolina the Cita-
del Cadets, and the Porter Military
Academy Cadets. There will be more
men in the several uniforms of the diff
ferent branches of the service of the
state and nation in that parade than
have ever gathered together in any
community in time of peace with the
single exception of the Hudson Fulton
celebration some years ago.
We are anticipating with great
pleasure our visit to the City by the
Sea during its fair week. Adv.

SMALL ROOM NOW FOR FARMS
Absorption of Land in Nassau County
for Home Building.

A phase of the real estate movement in
Nassau County that has not been dwelt on
to the degree II should be is the extensive
absorption Of farm land there for land
developing and home building purposes
Farms have been practically eliminated
from all communities in the county that
, are on the line of the railroad, and In some
cases hamlets on the line of trolley roads
only have been transformed entirely into
all year residential places. This has been
caused by the rapid influx Of metropolitan
population into the suburban Long Island
territory within thirty miles of Manhattan.
Then years ago numerous farmhouses
were Ravens OF summer borders, whereas
nowadays this type Of summer resort Is
almost eliminated. Dairy farms also
abounded throughout the county. and those,
too. have practically vanished. the land
that comprised them having been captured
bv home colonies. In other words, land
values generally in the county have be-
come too valuable for farming purposes
Another evidence of the transformation OF
rural areas into suburban communities u
the disappearance OF summer hotels from
Nassau County. Only a very few remain
and even those have become surrounded

for many persons nowadays to lease cot
