gro, who has been hanging
around Mt. Sterling since the
street carnival was in the city,
was employed Monday by Mrs.
James O'Connell to do some
house cleaning. Mrs. O'Connell
left the room for few minutes
and when she returned her pock
etbook which she had left on the
table. and which coptained a ten
dollar bill and silver quarter
contained only the quarter and
the negro was gone. Mrs.
O'Connell called Mr.. Upton who
took description of the man
and hearing that strange negro
had been seen going out the rail-
road track procured DR.. Thomp-
sons automobile and drove to the
distillery crossing and started
down the track toward town and
soon met and captured the thief
who confessed and was locked
up. Mr.. Upton deserves credit
for the promptness and efficiency
with which he handled the mat
ter. The negro was tried before
acting County Judge A. A. Haz-
elrigg and given 40 days in Jail.

No Bids Had BY Government
on Maysville Pike

Last Monday was the day de-
signated for the reception of bids
on the Maysville pike from Mt.
Sterling to Sharpsburg. No bids
were received by the govern
ment officials in charge of the
work and it is thought that no
further efforts to secure bidders
will be made until spring. I'M
der the present specifications,
the work must be finished by
November, Ist, 1914. Several
contractors made inquiries, but
were not inclined to tie themsel-
YES up so long in advance, assign
ing as a reason that conditions
may be materially changed by
spring.

Few Turkey Sales

The past week has been quite
a warm one and the turkey peo-
pie have not slaughtered many
birds for Thanksgiving market.
Only about 800 have been killed
so far. There seems to be little
interest in the sale of the birds
by the farmers, although the
prices are at II and IS cents per
pound. The birds are very small,
and this is hampering the trade
somewhat. Buyers are eagerly
seeking the turkeys in the coun-
try, but not many sales have yet
been reported. Indications are
that there will be cooler weather
this week and efforts will be
made by the houses to kill 1000
to 10000 turkeys during the
present week.

Gertrude Hoffman at
Ben Ali Theatre

When Gertrude Hoffman
comes to the Ben Ali Thetre, in
Lexington on Tuesday night,
Nov. 25th, she will present what
is said to be the most elaborate
entertainment ever attempted.
Miss Hoffman is known as the
most versatile woman on the
stage, and the most daring in the
innovations she devises. Her
revue this year, in twelve scenes
and with company of seventy
five, is so full of novelties that
they may be said to tumble over
each other. She has two new
dance scenes; one, "Zobeide's
Dream" that seems to be a bit
out of Russian ballet, and the
other, "Blue Danube" that is the
embodiment of youth and joy.
Besides, there are ten otner
scenes of most unusual nature,
including an express platform in
the New York Subway, the ex-
terior of the Moulin Rouge,
Paris; real Leon Bakts interior,
the tent of Sheik Shariar in the
desert, a japanese garden, pa
vilion, Mmo. Cavaliers beauty
parlors, and numerous other ar
tistic settings. The entertain
ment runs from broad farce to
spectacular drama. The music

ial added feature Miss Hoffman
has Ching Ling Foo, the great
Chinese Magician, and his COM
pany of fourteen Orientals who
do apparently impossible feats
of magic, juggling and acrobatic.

of F. Ray Comstock and Morris

Federal Extravaganza Should Be Checked

Washington IS ambitious 10 DO what
he can for his own town and district.
The larger the appropriation that he
succeeds IN securing the greater the
likelihood that ne will be returned for
a second term. And so the man from
Washington, anxious TO keep the We
natcheeans feeling good. although
there are only 5000 Of them. asks for
$4,000 knowing probably that the
amount IS quite out Of proportion TO
the population.
Then i'm order 10 help carry through

the man from NacogdOChes. whose
claim is probably equally prepOster-
Gus, and says 90 him, "YOu help me
through with my $4,000 and L will

Now the point is that II the We

Permanent Registration
List Is Favored Also.

AS governor, he will advocate a
permanent registration list, thus
simplifying the matter of registra-
ton for suffrage in Georgia, and re-
lieving the present rigorous and
useless restrictions, without endan-
gering in any manner the purity Of
the ballot.
He will advocate an inheritance
tax, and insist upon its enactment by
the legislature.
These things being some Of the
ideals John NJ. Slaton has stood for
and win stand for. his right to be
classed as "a conservative who
doesn't stand still" would seem to be
well established.
He is a Democrat, and adheres
staunchly by his party's platform,
whether enacted by state conven-
lions in Atlanta and Macon, or in
st. Louis and Baltimore.
But, after all is said and done,
the greatest inspiration and the most
surely compelling influence in John
N. Slatons life is his lovely and
devoted wife.
Charming, tactful, ambitious.
womanly, and wise, proud in her
glory Of possession. she ever has
been Mr.. SIaton's most trusted coun-
eslor and guide.
Herself descended Of one Of Geor-
a-ia's greatest governors she is as
courageous as any man ever dared
10 be, and if she were a man,
should say of her, "As dead game as
they make them!" In her lexicon
there is no such word as fall"
Ever and always it has been Mrs.
Slaton first to assure har distin-
guished husband that beyond the
Alps lies Italy"
There is nothing by way Of full
some praise or fattery in all Of
this. II is a fact, as all of those who
know John NJ Slaton viii testify.
that in every crisis Of his matured
life his wife has been his sweetest
and his bravest dependence.
Governor-elect Slaton was born on
farm in Neriwether county as
years ago His hoyhuods home was
seventeen miles from railroad and
ne was reared amid rural surround
ings. by God fearing parents. His
earlier life was that of the aver
age country boy he made his own
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-04-13
He Was Governor
Once For 70 Days.

While a member Of the legislature,
he served two full terms as speaker
Of the house and two full terms as
president Of the senate. From the
latter office he was called In 1871
10 exercise the executive authority
for rs days, pending the election OF
a successor to Governor Hoke Smith
resigned, to accept the office Of Unit
ed States senator for the uneXpired
term of Alexander Stephens Clay,
deceased. After this brief term as
acting governor, Mr.. Slaton return
ed 70 his office OF president Of the
senate, whence in July Of this year
he goes to the governorship.
Because Mr.. Slaton was twice
elected speaker and twice elected
president Of the senate, without OPP
position in every instance, he has
been held by some to be "the luck
lest fellow in Georgia political his
tory" There are others, however
who see in those remarkable circum-
Stances the evidence of a master
politician politician of repression
and far-reaching diplomacy.
Never in all Of his eight years as
presiding officer of the two houses
Of the Georgia general assembly was
slaton reversed once in a ruling
Certainly there was nothing of sheer
a7uclSn in that record-rather is II
acoepted generally as conclusive tes-
timony 10 his fairmindedness in rem
derfng his decisions.
A thrilling period in Mr.. Slaton's
lee4slative career will serve to illus
trste his perfectly poised services as
nreyfding officer. He was speaker
during the stormy session Of 1906,
when the present statewide prohi-
hilton law was enacted. More than
once during the three or four days Of
that fierce fight, there were riotous
scenes within the hall Of representa-
tives. The galleries were packed and
TANNED, and passionate debate was
the order Of the hour. When the war
reached its climax, both sides united
in a petition to Speaker Slaton not
10 leave his chair until the finish
could be effected, and from 9 in
the morning until 1890 of the night
the bill passed, the speaker did NOT
leave his chair, and was forced to
make ruling every three or four
minutes.
