MADE A GREAT
CHOICE IN MARRYING
Wife Proves a Great Aid to Him in
Public Life.

Atlanta, July 12.-"The finest politi-
cal and social stroke that Jack Slaton
ever made was when he won the hand
and heart of Sallie Fannie Grant, Of
Atlanta" says the current issue of
popular magazine in an interesting
article, written by John Temple Graves
on Georgias new chief executive.
Mrs. Slaton," says the articles, "is
a descendant of one of Georgia's great
est governors, James Jackson, and is
undoubtedly to the manor born in
Dixie. She is an even better politician
than her distinguished husband, AMI
has always been the inspiration, guide
and friends of her husbands best am
bitions."
The article describes Governor Sla-
ton as a man who always hides the
iron hand beneath the glove of velvet,
but who can fight when need be, AMI
whose splendid record entitled him 10
the almost unanimous popular support
be received for governor.
One of the bravest and most dra-
matte things he ever did in the Georgia
senate, says the article, was to come
down off the presidents seat and cast
the deciding vote in favor of the fell
eral income tax amendment. "Sla.
tons brother-in-law, John Grant, s
che of the wealthiest men in the
South. Mrs. Slaton is wealthy also
The income tax will cost them a state
ly penny. Slaton, with their hearty
al proval, however, viewed the meas
ure as one of simple justice and right
and voted for it. Governor Slatons
record all reads that same way. Wher-
ever he voted it was on the side of the
people"

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL? -. -. -. -.

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fall
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of. concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
The quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
or ltS readers.
The most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
THE combination of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser.

mere today printed articles in support
" charges that American citizens are
aiding the rebels. Alleged specific in
stances are given, the material 70"
which, in part, has been supplied rrom
official sources The official CORES
pondence is given in the case of Jesse
H. Johnson U. S. consul at Matamo-
ras, whom las, the Mexican inspector
of customs, charges with attempting
to induce federal troops to join the
rebels, who had captured that town
Elias also accuses Frank Rabb,
whose probable appointment as port
collector at Laredo, Texas, was recen.-
ly under discussion. The charge is
brought that an American warship at
Guaymas threw it's searchlights on the
city during the recent fight, thus en-
abling the rebes to take better aim.
Another charge is that the wireless
stations at Tuxham and Tampico
which are operated by Americans,
were used by the consul at Tampico
to supply the movements of the federal
rmy to the rebels.
