Former Representative Pleasant A.
Stovall, of Chatham, is in Atlanta for
a few days. on his way to Athens,
where he will visit before leaving for
his diplomatic post of duty in switz-
erland
Mr.. Stovall is extremely well liked
by all the members Of the General
Assembly. and there are few. if any,
he does not know more or less init
mately. His nomination TO be Minis
ter to Switzerland. which was in line
with his ambition for years, was par
ticularly gratifying to his friends
throughout all Georgia, and he has
been the recipient of many warm and
hearty congratulations since his ar
rival in the Capital.
I have not the slightest doubt,
said Mr.. Stovall, that the Wilson ad-
minlstration Is to be a complete sue
cess in every way The President is a
hard and conscientious worker, and Is

promises of the Baltimore platform.

Georgia ever honored with a fourth
term in the Senate, and he will be
the first United States Senator
named under the new popular cleo
tons amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution.
Mr.. Bell, Of Clay, looks like Champ
Clark, and that, of course. puts a
large measure OF responsibility upon
him.
The gentleman from Clay is quiet
and more or less reserved. but in re-
pose his face does remind one strik-
ingly of the great Missourian, and
the temptation to call him Mr..
Speaker frequently is rampant with
in the hearts Of those who are used
to addressing Mr.. Clark after that
fashion
Champ Clark is a mighty fine
man, all right, and worth looking
like" said Bell to-day, when the
matter Of his resemblance was men
toned in his presence.

HEAL BABY'S
ITCHING SKIN
WITH RESINOL

For babies tortured by eczema,
prickly heat, teething rash, or
other itching, burning skin erup-
ton, there is instant relief in a
warm bath with ResinOl Soap and
a gentle application of Resinol
Ointment. The itching and
scratching stop at once, baby can
sleep, and soon the tormented lit
tie skin becomes clear and healthy
again. The Resinol treatment is
so absolutely free from anything
that could injure the tenderest
skin, that it can be used on even
the youngest infant.
Resinol Soap for babys daily
bath will usually prevent any skin
trouble and chatting because it
contains the soothing, healing
Resinol medication. Doctors have
prescribed ResinOl Ointment and
Resinol Soap for eighteen years
and druggists everywhere sell
them. Trial free: Dept. Up,

RUSH To AVOID .
EXTRACALL
Governor Likely to Reconvene As
sembIy if Tax Reforms Are
Not Made This Session.

Unless the Legislature, during it's
present session, enacts such tax re-
forms as the Governor thinks essen
tial to the welfare and prosperity of
the State, it is more than likely that
it will be called Immediately in ex-
traordinary session. for the sole pur-
pose Of effecting those reforms.
The Governor himself has not ut
tered the threat of an extraordinary
session, but some gentlemen close to
him, ana, IN way, authorized to
speak for him, have let IL be known
that the possibility of an extra ses-
sion has crossed the Executive mind
more than once of late, and that fail
ure upon the part of the Legislature
to enact the tax reform the Governor
holds absolutely necessary at this
time more than likely will impel the
Governor to the heroic remedy of an
extra session.
FeVerishly Active Now.
That these semi Authoritative ru-
mors and hints have had their effect
upon the General Assembly. is
abundantly evidenced in the fever
tsh activity lately manifested in
some of the House committees.
House bill No 1, by Mr.. Cole, of
Barlow, for instance, has been re-
ported at last out of the Ways and
Means Committee, and will go to the
House at once with a favorable rec
ommendattOn.
This first revenue measure intro
duced must be followed by many
others if the Slaton program OF tax
reform is carried out in its entirety.
and the Senate must have an oppor-
tunity to pass upon all revenue meas
ures produced by the House. Revenue
measures can not originate in the
Senate.
There has been much waste Of time
on the floor of both Houses, however,
and unless the waste is cut out from
this time forward the impression is
that tax reform measures generally
win fall by the wayside and fail Of
passage.

Honey Boy" Evans Gets Publicity
at Magnate's Expense.

AS the recent purchase of the stock of
the Philadelphia National League club
by Bill Locke. secretary of the Pitts
burgh club. makes it a timely sporting
topic, We herewith present little anec-
dote that evinces how Horace Fogel,
Charles p. Taft's catspaw president of
the Phillies, was the goat in a publicity
scheme engineered by the leading joke
ster of the realm of minstrelsy, George
Honey Boy Evans.
AS soon as Fogel became mixed up in
an imbroglio because of his allegations
that the winning of the National League

would sell his stock. the Honey Boy,
for publicity purposes alone. had 1t leak
out that he was the head of a syndicate
of actors who sought National League

at the Columbia Theater during the week

strel favOrite about his plans in the di-
rectiOn of becoming a magnate.
Evans always seemed reluctant to dis
cuss the matter. and. as a result, the
writers figured out-or pretended to aid
the Honey Boy" in his publicity scheme
that he was after the Phillies. The
story was wired east, and the papers
there printed it at length. Fogel, seeing
the reports. wired the Honey Boy an
offer to sell at the following terms: "Three
hundred thousands dollars cash and $175,
600 paper provided latter is satisfactory"
Evans. inadvertently, of course. showed
the telegram to his sporting editor
friends-a host throughout the country.
They printed stories at length. Evans
wired James j. Corbett, erstwhile heavy
weight champion of the world. to call on
Fogel. He complied more publicity fol-
lowed. When Evans figured out that the
publicity pot had quit seething, he wired
Fogel, as follows:

RALEIGH. N. c.. January 27.-Charles
Mcdonald, former sporting editor Of a
local paper, five members of the Eastern
Carolina League and Sherwood Upchurch,
an umpire. who stood behind him in
many games, share the statewide opin-
ion that Jim Thorpe, whose athletic in
tegrity is being investigated, is the same
as the Rocky Mount and Fayetteville
player Of 1909 and 1910.
Il have great sympathy for Thorpe,
whose playing in the small league here
ought not to disqualify him. in my opin-
ion." said Upchurch, the umpire. last
night. Il would do nothing to help it
along. did not see Thorpe win at Stock
holm, and haven't seen him since he left
here, but 1 fear that there is no hope of
there being two different men. The pic
lures are indentical, and never had any
other idea than that they are the same"
Thorpe had several opponents who are
now in the big leagues. Fullenwider,
formerly with the Giants; Steve Yerkes
of the Boston Red Sox and Hearn of ST.
Louis Cardinals all belonged to the same
elague cotemporaneously. When Thorpe
won Olympic honors North Carolina
papers printed his pictures. and he has
been claimed by the fans since. They
never thought Of possible disqualification.

TED MEREDITH AND

Stirring Contests at Annual
Games of F0rdham
University.

NEW YORK, January PIN one of the
most sensational races seen hereabouts in
some time, the relay team of the Boston
Athletic Association defeated the Irish
American A. c. four in their match con-
test at one mile at the Fordham Uni
versity games Saturday night. The final
relay brought together Melvin w. Shep-
pard and Tom Halpin, the former starting
on his journey with lead of four yards.
Halpin soon jumped to the front and
stayed there until the last f1fty-yard
stretch. Then Sheppard rushed out and
opened up a gap of two feet. AS he
came within a yard of the tape his legs
gave way under him and he fell on his
back. The accident enabled Halpin to
win by the scantiest possible margin. Hal
pin ran his quarter mile in O.5O %. and
the Boston A. A. team time, 3.26. was
very near the record held by Cornell.
Howard p. Drew, negro Splinter from
Springfield. Mass. and national 1OO-yard
champion. again proved his superiority
over Alvah T. Meyer. leading the latter
scratch sixty-ive-yard dash. Drew's
time, O.07, equals the worlds indoor rec
ord. Donald Lippincott of Pennsylvania
started, but was able to do no better than
last, being beaten by Meyer, Clarke and

He was first in his heat in O33 10 and
then took his semi-final in O.33 1-5. COM

HAS THREE GAMES.
Georgetown Quint Has Hard Seized.
ule This Week.

The Georgetown basket ball team had
one of the stiffest workouts Of the year
yesterday at the Ryan gymnasium. Every
man on the squad was on hand and en-
gagged in the practice. About eleven can
didates reported for practice.
Coach Collifiower realizes that his
team has three hard games in store this
week. and is leaving no stone unturned
to have his team make a good showing
in all of these contests.
The game at the Arcade with Virginia
Military should be game worth wit
Messing. 1t is reported that the south
erners have very strong team this
year and that they are coming to this
city prepared to give Georgetown hard
game.
After this contest the team will journey
to Charlottesville next Friday evening,
where 1t will meet its old-time rival, Vir-
ginia.
Saturday evening the Blue and Gray
five expects to play against the strong
est team Of the south, when it meets
Washington and Lee at Lexington. The
Lexington team has not lost one game
this year. and it is certain that it will
work hard to win this game from George
town. because it realizes that a win over
the Blue and Gray team would place it
in a position whereby it might be able
to claim the south Atlantic championship.

Giants Managers Attitude Toward
Worlds Series 4'Goat'' Explains
His Success as Leader.

he has any ideas Of appreciation and
gratitude he will sit up nights trying to
think of new ways to please the Little
Napoleon
McGraw's policy Of lending a hand to
the man who is down instead of bestow-
ing a few superfluous kicks certainly
brought its reward in the Merkle case.
John stood by the hero Of the touching
second" incident in 1903 and Merkle has
been as faithful to him as a dog to it's
master. If John j. McGraw wanted muir
der committed he probably could count
on Mr.. Merkle to undertake the job.
Thanks to the managers kindly en-
enlargement. Merkle became a good ball
player. II not great one. He has been
considered among the best first basemen
in the National League for several years
and probably will go on starting in his
position for some seasons to come. Had
McGraw acted differently he would have
ruined the "bonehead' as player and
probably would have caused Fred to end
his diamond days as an obscure minor
Lacquer.
He's a great man. this McGraw, any
way you take him, and the critics who
fear for the Giants ability to be formi-
dable contenders for the pennant after a
couple of years. are overlooking that very
powerful psychological element which
can't be measured, but is, nevertheless.
one Of the most powerful factors in sue
