WindshieIds Now Part
Of Stock Equipment

Windshields are becoming truly a
part Of the car. 10 that they are no
longer any more OF an accessory than
the carburetor or magnetic. Practically
all cars are sold with windshields as
stock equipment. and there are few
makers OF shields making any effort to
put them on the open market for sale
to the private owner. This year shows
the shields made really a part Of the
dash instead Of being stuck on as an
afterthought. The shields are simpler
and somewhat larger this year, and
wood as material for the frame has
disappeared metal taking Its place In
practically every type Of construction.

Forgetting for the moment the doll

improvements are apparent. The bodies
are large--not very much-Just q few
inches added to the wheeibase TO give
the necessary foot room which has been

Not a few makers have found II nee
essary to add an inch or so since their
first announcements of fsl3 models were
made they having discovered that an
added feature here or there has M

only solution was to add more space.

ATLANTA AND RICHMOND.

Not intending to be supercilious superior,
we cannot quite help noting the difference be-
tween the conduct of the Beattie case in Chester
field coanty, in country court on the outskirts
of Richmond, and the course of tire Phagan
murder trial now In progress at Atlanta. IN
the Beattie case some Of our local contemporaries
strove nightly to develop new and side sensa-
between the local authority and the outside de-
tectives, discoveries of new clues and mystic
ries, and the like. All these fell fiat. Our pub
lie would have none of them. The police local
forces and detectives went on with their bust
ness with decorum and efficiency. We refused
to have any scandals or disturbances and the
administration OF justice proceeded to the end
In orderly, dignifed. undisturbed course In
Atlanta a dozen separate scandals and almost
daily new sensations have come, the police, the
detectives. the mayor and various citizens have
become entangled In brawls and mutual accu-
sations Expert doctors contradict each other
In gruesome details on the condition of the
digestive organs of the murdered girl and on
The digestibility' Of cabbage. Women throng the
courtroom and are favored with front seats
to hear these discussions: and the latest is a
threat to invalidate the entire trial because the

With many scattering precincts throughout
the State still to be heard from. indications
point to the nomination Of Koiner and Ellyson,
the latter by large majority.
The contest for the attorney-generalship from
returns go far in, indicate that Pollard is hover
ing on the edge OF victory, Many points which
had been hitherto practically conceded to the
Encouragement. have, by the returns, disclosed
change of faith on the part of the sovereigns.
This Is distinctly shown In the great Southwest,
where the Williams vote was believed to have
been so strongly imbedded In It's faith as to
have been impregnable to the attack of an
enemy.
Koiner appears to have arisen from the
ashes of hgurative defeat hurled upon him by
Brown. while Lieutenant-CSovernor Ellyson sits
serenely still in the boat with apparently moth
Ing to fear from the rocking which had been
given him by the young aspirant from Alexan
dria.
All Of which goes to prove the uncertainties
of political serenity.
The result In Richmond was not surprising,
except perhaps. in the large vote accorded Mr..
Koiner and the reduction of the anticipated
vote for Mr.. Pollard,
