have never allowed political
differences to interfere with my per-
sonal relations with personal friends;
but I must say that his interview pub
lished in the Constitution and other
papers in the State on the occasion
Of his recent visit to Georgia. in
which he approved the Official acts
of Senator Hoke Smith, gives only
his opinion without giving the peO-
pie any of the facts. Give the people
the facts and they will form their
own conclusions. Has his course in
the Senate helped us or hurt us?
That is the question. In the matter
of buying bagging and tics for this
years cotton crop in Georgia, the far
mers Of the State have lost very close
to ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Every
farmer knows that he has paid more
this year for bagging and ties than
he has for q long time, when, as
matter of fact he ought to have
bought them for less, and would have
done so if Senator Smith and his al
lies in the Senate had passed the
tariff bill as approved by President
Wilson, and as reported from the
House Of Representative to the SEN
ate, Immediately upon the bill hav-
ing reached that body. If Senator
Smith had hurried this bill along with
those constituting the majority, as
they could have done, mad not con-
sumed so much time in unnecessary
delay the farmers of this State would
have received the benefit on reduc-
ton in the price of this bagging and
ties, by reason Of their being placed
on the free list; but instead of buy
ing them cheaper our honest, hard
working farmers paid 81 cents bale

About the same time Carlotta, who
had a small house OF her own in the
Rue du Faubourg st. Honore, rang for
her maid. who brought her letters to
her bed. Among them was an anony-

a hesitating. clumsy hand. which ran:

the two were alone again, Monchar-

entrance. Christine Daae looked
charming In her boys clothes: and
Carlottas partisans expected to hear
her greeted with an ovation which
would have enlightened them as to
the intentions of her friends. But
nothing happened.
On the other hand, when Margartta
crossed the stage and sang the only
two lines allotted her in this second
act:
mo. my lord. not a lady am I. nor yet
. beauty.
And do not need an arm to help me on
my way"
Carlotta was received with enthusias-
tic applause. II was SO unexpected
and so uncalled for that those who
knew nothing about the rumors
looked at one another and asked what
was happening. And this act also was
finished without incident.
Then everybody said: "Of course. It
will be during the next act"
Some, who seemed to be better In
formed than the rest. declared that the
row" would begin with the ballad OF
the King OF Thule and rushed to the
subscribers entrance to warn Carlot-
ta. The managers left the box during
the entr'acte to find out more about
the cabal OF which the stage-manager
had spoken: but they soon returned
to their seats, struggling their shout

several years, risked his life almost
daily in plotting the worlds fastest

Harroun Won fame by winning the
first 500-mile race staged at the big
indianapolis speedway, and, until he
gave up the racing game a year or so
|ago, was regarded as one of the fore
most of the worlds speed kings. He

Since giving up the racing game,
Harroun has become a manufacturer
of special devices for motor cars
and it is his intention to equip his
