He is son of Hon. Frank Copeland
who several times represented Walker
county in the general assembly, and is
now a practicing attorney in Rome.
John Copeland is an authority on
rugs. Outside his official work. nothing
so delights him as the science of rug
ology. What Copeland doesn't know
about rugs long ago was yanked out of
the book, and now Is past his finding
out.
When he moved into his quarters in
the capitol some two weeks ago, he
found things not much to his liking, SO
far as the condition of the same was
concerned.
The walls of the main room were
dark and dreary; the floors were COW
cred with a linoleum-like thing that
surely had seen better days. Dust
seemed more or less perfectly at home
around and about the place, and-oh,
worst of all!-not a rug was to be dis
covered anywhere in his new vicinity
of endeavor.
Copeland got some painters, some
scrubbers, some rubbers. and some
busters on the job. right off the reel;
and pretty soon he had that old office
looking as fresh and sweet as offices
can be made to look-minus rugs!
He took a day off when all the clean
ing had been done and prepared to
enjoy himself-he resolved to devote
one entire Thursday to the selection
and purchase of rugs.
He ransacked every ruggery in the
Gate City, from cellar to garnet, hunt
ing rugs that pleased his artistic eye
and seemed most adapted to the ne
cessities of his Office.
After buying more new rugs than
had been brought into the state capitol
before in all its ancient and honorable
history. Copeland resolved himself into
a reception committee of one-on rugs
and hiked back to the capitol to wait

the arrival of the children Of his taste
rugwise.
That was happy day for John Cope
land-one of the very happiest he ever
knew, or ever will know!
No matter how heavy the work gets
now or how difficult the insurance
problem to solve, there are those pre-
cious rugs scattered about the place
and they are very soothing to Cope
lands nerves. and keep him in a good
natured frame of mind, no matter what
happens
Representative H w. Hopkins. of
Thomas county, recently reelected to
the house. thinks it would be a good
idea to have a Legislative day" at the
Georgia state fair at Macon, and he
proposes that members of the old house
and members elect of the new get to-
gether and arrange for the same.
Hopkins idea is that a very large
percentage of the old membership, and
practically all of the new, would be
only too glad to enter into such an ar
| rangement and that it would furnish a
fine occasion and opportunity to get
acquainted all the way around, to
everybody's pleasure and very great
| benefit.
A number of members to whom Rep
resentative Hopkins has talked con-
corning his idea have expressed them
selves as heartily in favor of it, and
the suggestion doubtless will be car
ried out.
Mr. Hopkins thinks that Joe Hill Hall
should be made the particular guest of
honor on Legislative day" at the fair,
and this further suggestion Is sure to
meet with great favor.
Comes the following inquiry to Side
| lights:
Marietta. Ga. Sept Is, 1912.
Dear Sir-In case Governor
Brown should resign, to take eff
feet Immediately, would the Hon,
John NJ. Slaton be governor? This
being true, would he again have to
call a special election to fill out
the remainder of Governor Browns
term? Also, could he be a candi-
date for this unexpired term?
| MARIETTA READER.
In the circumstances proposed. Slaton
would become acting governor, just as
| he did when Hoke SmitN resigned; he
| would have to call another special cleo
ton to fill out Browns uneXpired term
and he might be a candidate for that
unexpired term, If he so desired.
| In the event of a vacancy occurring
in the governorship within six months
of the expiration of the gubernatorial
term, the president Of the senate would
| become acting governor until a new
term began.

How Hail [, Formed

Limiting the observations TO such
compound hailstones as are the most
destructive and are produced during
4 tornado or violent thunderstorm.
The following theory has been ad-
yanced ms to how they are formed.
When the winds gyratc rapidly round
an axis more or less inclined to the
earth the space at and about the axis
is rarefied. When air charged with
yapor is drawn into this rarehed space
II may be condensed into cloud or rain
or, at "A greater elevation, into snow
Now, supposing the rain formed I'm the
lower region TO be drawn up by the as
cending current into the snowy region
and so held for a short space, the
drops will be frozen and then, il pro-
PEELED beyond the gyrations. will fall
TO the ground as shower OF ordinary
hail. But IL in the descent they are
again drawn in by the inhowing cur
rent they VIII be again carried up into
the cold region and so acquire anoth-
er coating OF ice. In this way the
globule may make number of ascents
and descents aud acquire fresh coat

TARIFF BOARD AN ISSUE.

President Taft in strong plea oS-

country which periodically rips its
whole taHn system up and makes i;

The difference between our system
and the French or German is not tar
to seek. We have allowed the tarin to
grow too strong. We have permitted
the manufacturers to tell us what the
rates should be. we have accepted
through Congress their judgment of
what bonus the consumer should pay.

system give way To somethlng modern.

Nevertheless, Congress must give

But when properly prepared and serv-

within few weeks ago there had

ness TO nothing else than cast-or
bunch of old rags.
The package had been away in
dark, unscarched corners for nearly
Ia half-century. Dust had collected

effaced the faded ana Irayed iuscrip-

Practically no one i'm the state de-

ed. 1t is a wonder it had not long
since been destroyed. Probably the
suspicion that the frayed old rags did
furnish a connection with pioneer

any who was prompted more than
once TO sweep aside the bundle as

Michigan OF that priceless object oi

a train OF recollections invariably sug-
gest more intimate details OF the ad-
nlinistration OF the boy governor, as
well as other personages Of the terri
tory ard infant state. who builded well
the foundations of the present pros
porous commonwealth.
IL was fully two years ago that Mrs.
Campbell first set ABOUT her search
for the flag. II came about quite in
cidentally. II was suggested that
the II. A. r. present the Newsboys'
association with state flag, the lads
already having a national emblem.
T. w. Booth. In charge OF the organ
Tization was pleased With the idea and
soon after the Grand Rapids chapter
moved 10 make such a Sift. An order
was placed I'm Detroit for the fiag
When it came. Mrs. Campbell's atten-
ton was at once drawn To an error In
design, which led her to the belief
that this flag was not correct copy
of the official emblem. The coat Of
arms inscribed upon IL did not cor
respond to that upon the earliest seals
of the state. Moreover her knowl-
edge of heraldry and it's devices
prompted her TO recognize several
corrections in design upon the coat
of arms.
Out Of this incident came import
ant Investigations ana results. The
story has never been fully told of how
she prosecuted her search until she
unearthed proofs not only that the
seal then In use was net the original
and official seal, but that a second seal
which she had found was the one de-
Nised by Governor Cass in the terri
tOrial days and the one which prop
crly should be the Official seal. Nor
is this the place to tell II. Let il be
said. however, that largely through
her instrumentality was an act pass
ca last year by the legislature which
corrected the seal error. re-established
Governor Cass' early device as the
official seal. defining It in detail,
adopted official state and governors
flags and made il incumbent upon all
state departments to use this one seal
and no other.
