WISE To RUN FOR
CONGRESS AGAIN

]. w. Wise, Of Fayette, who was
beaten by a scratch last year in the
race for Congress from the Sixth Dis
trict, will enter the race again next
year. Mr.. Wise says he hopes to get
sufficient votes next time to leave
not shadow of doubt Of election.
In the last contest in the Sixth the
district voted as a whole, the candi-
date receiving the largest vote to be
declared the nominee When the re-
turns were announced it is said the
count showed Mr.. Wise to be the
winner by about 200 votes over his
opponent, Congressman Bartlett.
Later, however, Mr. Wise received
information from Macon to the effect
that there had been a change in the
vote in some Of the city precincts
Mr.. Wise says he never has been
satisfied with that decision, but has
determined to bide his time and get
into the race next year. He says
he has been overwhelmed with mes
sages urging him to enter the race
at the next election.

DRAW ENDS SHAM
BATTLE OF TROOPS

BRUNSWICK, GA. June 26.-offi-
GERS OF the Georgia State militia and
regular army men here to observe the
maneuvers are much pleased to-day
over the excellent work OF the troops
In the second sham battle OF the en-
campment yesterday afternoon.
The battle ended in draw, the
infantry under Major Hunter being
unable to dislodge Major Seamans'
dismounted cavalry from their in
trenchments, while the latter had
their hands full trying to repulse the
attacking forces.
The Orange army, equipped for
field duty, marched directly from
Camp Brown to the sea, and then
proceeded nOrthward about a mile,
where intrenchments were thrown up.
At places the earthworks were Ave
feet in height and the defenses were
concealed by canes and rushes cut
from the neighboring swamps.
The Blue army, under command of
Major Hunter. approached from the
heavily wooded land side, but was
held at bay by the Orange outpost,
under command OF Captain Rudisail
OF Atlanta, long enough for the or
ange army to intrench its position.
The Blue army took up a position
running parallel with the railroad.
The battle line was about 2000 feet
long.
A number OF Atlanta women were
entertained by the officers OF the Sec-
ond Squadron and the Third Bat
talon yesterday Most OF the visitors
formed parties and went fishing, and
some good catches were made. Mrs.
c. w. Hatcher, of Atlanta caught and
lowed to the shore a tive-foot shark,
which she shot and killed

Session at Americas to Con-
vene Next Monday.

AMERICUS. June 26.-Judge z. A.

Barrow last Saturday night. The or
der fixes next Monday as the time
for court to convene.
It is also ordered that the same
Grand Jury that served at the recent
term of the court be resummoned TO

fearless that ever served the people
Of Sumter County, having indicted a
number of well-known men for gam
ing and others for violation of the
prohibition law.
Sunday morning the city was all
agog with talk Of the lynching. Now,
strange to say. no one can be found,
without difficulty, who will speak Of
the affair except as having been in
formed by someone else.

Mothers Congress Asks Your Aid

A campaign for pure milk for the
/ poor babies of the Gate City was in
augurated Thursday morning by the
Mothers Congress of Atlanta. The
members plan to engage actively IN
the work of helping the babies WHO
can not help themselves, and through
the president. Mrs. John W. Row
lett. have sent out the following ap-
peal:
One hundred persons are want
ed each to furnish one quart of
milk daily for one child. II you
are willing to help save one baby,
send your name to Mrs. John w.
Rowlett, 1856 East Pine Street.
The officers of the congress declare
that, when they have obtained the
names OF the 100 persons willing to
save a baby each, It will be but the
opening wedge in the work they have
undertaken. The ultimate object of
the campaign is the establishment of
milk stations in sections of the city
where they are needed, thus enabling
the mother to be instructed as well
as helped.
Evans Eager to Help.
The fact that aid for the poor
babies Of the city is imperative and
must be given at once was estab-
lished by the congress after a con-
ference had been held with City War
den Evans. Mr.. Evans furnished the
officers of the congress with a long
list of children whom it is proposed
to make the beneficiaries of the one
quart of milk day plan, and he has
offered to cooperate with the con-
gress in every way possible during
| the campaign.
The question of caring for the
babies of Atlanta during the months
when the chances for the baby 10
survive are few, is a vital and press
| ing one" declared one of the officers
of the congress Thursday morning
and the question Of furnishing pure
milk to the children should be taken
| up in earnest by the people of At
| lanta. We are hoping for a hearty
and encouraging response to our re-
J quest for a 100 quarts of milk a day
| for the babies, and would ask that
| every person contemplating enlist
| ing in the good work send in their
| names as soon as possible.
we hope to show the vital need
| of this work by the good we can dc
with the 100 quarts a day PLAN and
so arouse the people of Atlanta that
pure milk stations can be estab-
| lished
Blames Improper Feeding
Improper feeding is the chief
| cause of infant mortality. and ignor-
| ance Is very often the cause of i'm
proper feeding. Hence a campaign
| for the reduction of infant mortalitJ
must not only give relief at once
| but must also instruct the mother
| in the care of her child, especially
| during the summer months"
The Congress of Mothers Of Atlanta

on behalf of the baby, and have

COTTON TARIFF A
MESS, SAYS
EXPERT
R. K. MacLea Writes 0'Gorman
Lobby Cry Drove Honest Bust
ness Men Away,

NEW YORK, June 26.-Robert X.
MacLea, associate editor Of Dry
Goods and formerly consulting ex-
pert OF the Tariff Board. has sent
10 United States Senator James A.
O'Gorman a letter in which he criu-
cised the cotton changes in the I'm
derwood tariff bill made by the Sem
ate committee and declared that the
sub committee in making them has
been misled by its experts, as
feared likely"
Mr. MacLea has had % years ex-
perlsnoe IN all branches OF the cot
ton trade and his plain talk to Sena-
tor O'Gorman will 1t is believed, at
tract much attention at Washington.
In the letter he says:
Il was greatly surprised to read
the changes made by the Senate Fl
nance Committee, and while I realize
that attempts have been made pre-
sumably to eradicate some OF the
evils of the Underwood bill in regard
TO cotton manufactures, they have
to my mind IN reality made a worse
mess of II than ! could have mag
ined possible.
Says Business Men Will Protest.
mere IS no excuse lOI ul5IIsulA-
iEg the cost accounting shown in the
tariff board report on Schedule l.
I know that Mr.. Patton, one OF the
experts relied upon by the Senate
sub committee, has rejected It's facts,
for he told me so recently, stating
that II was not worth anything to
him and that he cared nothing for II.
Il am sure that when the business
men appreciate this situation, they
will be heard from in no unmistak-
able voice They will understand Il
In the course OF year certainly
There is no reason why a proper
cotton and yarn schedule should not
have been formulated and / wish TO
protest vigorously against the enact
ment into law OF the Senate amend
ments without further adequate
changes to properly correct the over
sight Of the House Of Representa-
tives' measure as passed by them and
the additional oversights OF the Sen
ate sub committee.
Business Men Driven Away.
Many honest business men have
lately turned away from Washington
by the lobby destinations: yet In
one of President Wilson's most nota-
BILE speeches before he took office he
appealed to the honest business men
Of the United States to help him
with legislation.
Hundreds in the cotton industry
had accepted the invitation and after
depending upon a correct interpre-
tation of facts by the House OF Rep
resentatives found that recommend
lions with proofs had in many ways
been ignored. They have since been
driven away from Washington in
their further honest efforts to point
out errors made"

Square Guarantee From All

When an article is sold a drug

Dodson's Liver Tone. II is a pleas

In these parlous times Of political
maneuverlng, wherein one must be
both as wise as a serpent and as
harmless as a dove, politicians of
more or less caliber who never yet
have ventured very far from shore,
will do well to learn one lesson from
the cases OF J. Randolph Anderson.
President Of the Georgia Senate. and
William n Burwell, Speaker OF the
House.
Neither man won his fight by way
Of mere personal popularity alone,
albeit each has many warm friends
and stout-hearted supporters.
The gentleman who put over both
Anderson and Allen is none other than
our venerated and esteemed fellow
citizen. Old Man Hard Work!
Anderson and Burweil have been
tireless in their efforts to succeed in
their undertakings Both men have
lived their races for months. Ander-
son and Burwell we're at II hammer
and tongs while some Of their oppo
nents we're seeking membership in the
Don't Worry Club.
Politics, unlike kissing, rarely goes
by favor. They that seek find. II
they seek diligently enough-or at
least, they that DO not seek rarely
find.
Anderson and Burwell both are ex-
perienCed legislators. Each has
served a long and active term Of serv-
ice. Both are first-class parliament
tarians both good speakers and are
both fine diplomats. Neither should
in any manner fall down on his
job" and il isn't at all likely that
either viii
There Is a particularly fine and
friendly feeling among members OF
both Houses, and the chances are
that Georgia has on its hands at last
a Legislature that will be able to pro-
coed to it's work free from partisan
bias or internal feuds.
That's saying a good deal-but Il
looks as II the saying is warranted!
Hon. O. X. Jones, one Of Lowndss
County's representatives, and a strong
believer in tax equalization OF re-
form will introduce q bill in the
Legislature providing for the ap-
pointment Of a board Of three tax
assessors for every Georgia county
Mr.. Jones believes that valuations
can be raised 70 per cent without
working any hardships, and the
State pulled out OF the financial bog
within a year, by the work OF com
petent and conscientious assessors
There Is no question that millions Of
dollars OF taxable property is never
returned. The uncovering OF this
property would within itself mate
rally increase revenues. Representa-
tive Jones says:
ITO make the proposed boards of
real benefit, the members should be
appointed and their tenure Of office
entirely Independent of public suff-
rage. Many a tax receiver has beaten
himself by a conscientious and zeal
Gus effort to secure just tax returns
in his county, and II takes a pretty
brave officer to persist IN a course,
however right which he knows win
beat him at the polls. That danger is
removed when the assessors are made
appointive."
Governor Brown literally has been
swamped with callers to-day and

much of an active agent in politics,
and keeps In close touch with his

undoubtedly is his purpose to refrain
