Somebody lust Puts His Name on
the Ticket and His Friends
Do the Rest.

Representative Tinsley Ragland, Of
Talbot County, is a shoe drummer
who is elected regularly to the Leg
islature every other year, notwith-
standing the fact that he spends
most of his time on the road and pays
small attention to his political fences.
For so days every year. Ragland
takes a vacation and runs up to At
lanta to attend a session of the House.
Otherwise he never bothers much. He
knows somebody will put his name
on the ticket in Talbot on election
day, and his admiring constituents
never fail to do the rest.
Ragland is known to more mer-
chants, big city as we'll as cross
roads. than most anybody selling
shoes in this country. If he should
run for Governor he undoubtedly
would get a large vote. scattered from
one end of Georgia to the other.
One Of his biggest political assets
is a broad and expansive smile
Whenever the people of Talbot Coun-
~ are in doubt whether to vote for
Ragland one more time they think
of that smile, and vote accordingly

Chorus Girl Suing
Marquis Refuses
$4,000 He Offers

Special Gable TO The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, June 3O-The breach of
promise suit of Violette Moss, a cho-
rus girl, against the Marquis of
Northampton was called in court
to-day, but was adjourned until
Wednesday to give lawyers an OPP
portunity to try to effect a settle
ment. The chances of a settlement,
though, appeared slender, as the
plaintiff already had refused $4,000
to withdraw the suit.
The marquis came into his pres
ent title less than two weeks ago
when his father died in Italy of a
broken heart because of the relations
between the then Lord Compton and
Miss Moss. The young lord revealed
a number of family secrets to the
girl and she threatened to reveal
these to the public
The elder marquis managed to sep
arate his son from Miss Moss and
gave her a substantial sum to go to
the continent, but later the infat-
uated lord met his charmer secretly
in Paris.
Miss Moss is % years old. The
marquis is %.

.HALT|NG Of CARS
IN STORMS To
CONTINUE
Superintendent Simmons Asserts
Power Is Stopped Because of
Danger From Lightning.

Numerous complaints against the
practice of the Georgia Railway AMI
Power Company in bringing trolley
cars to a halt and the shutting down
of power during thunderstorms in At
lanta have caused The Georgian TO
make an investigation.
The complaints were precipitated
by the delays to patrons, some OF
which have proved serious inconven-
fences. other complaints come from
factories using the company's power.
In one instance, it is claimed that
factory's power was shut off during
operations in which high ex-
merits were at work, causing a great
monetary loss.
Delays Will Continue.
To a representative of The Geor-
gian, Superintendent S. E. Simmons, of
the railway company, declared the de-
laws were unavoidable and would con-
tinue.
THE last three times the current
was off" said Mr.. Simmons, 'it was
knocked out first by lightning.
81 use my discretion in having the
current held off. and do so only when
the lightning is severe locally. This
policy is not only better for the com
pany in that it saves the burning up
of the car controllers, but 1t serves
the public also in that it minimizes
danger of panic when the flash of
burned controller occurs.
IT'S Done Elsewhere, He Says.
81 don't see any remedy. It is just
what is done in all other cities, espe-
cially where water power current is
used, as in Atlanta The wires which
come from Gainesville and other
points, carrying hundreds of volts,
can not be insulated of course.
venture to say that the cars in Buff
falo, which gets current from Niagara
Falls. are stopped twice as much as
ours, as a result OF snunderstorms.'
Mr.. Simmons said he supposed he
ordered the current cut off about a
third of the time during atmospheric
disorders. .,
When asked if Atlanta was not the
only city where such practice is in
vogue, Mr.. Simmons replied emphat-
ically that 1t was not

The lad entered the lake at about 3
O'Clock Sunday afternoon. He was
missed when all the bathers left the
pond and his clothes were found In

Nick Seymour. a keyboy, gave the
alarm. In a few minutes searchers
were at work. and through the night
the red glare Of the torches in the
boats moving up and down the lake
told the anxious watchers on the
banks the body had not been found.
Young Seweu probably went to his
death when the windstorm Sunday
afternoon dashed the waters Of the
little lake into high waves. Not a
good swimmer. he was last seen at
one Of the diving RATS. which he
reached after a futile effort to vie
with the better swimmers and cross
the lake.
He probably chung TO this raft when
the storm broke, and either the waves
tore him away or he tried to reach the

The pavilion along the bank held

A Pillow Fight
And a Thirsty Man.

In a room on the fifth floor OF a
downtown hotel yesterday afternoon
two men who occupy the room got to
skylarking and wound up in a pillow
fight. 1t was one Of those old fash
Toned pillow fghts, the kind that every
kid who has good red blood in his
veins has INDUCED In time out of
mind.
These two roommates heaved the
pillow this way and that first one
scoring a Touchdown and then the
other. 1t was beastly hot all over
town and this room was no exception.
Therefore, the window was open. The
two fighters did not suspect anything
wrong until all of a sudden the pillow,
in a mad flight, disappeared. II had
gone right out the window.
Not only that, but 1t sailed sereneiy
and with some force to the sidewalk,
where it struck a sedate- looking pc
destrian right on top of the head.
Away went his new straw hat and he
sat down suddenly and violently upon
the pavement. What he said doesn't
matter. It was warm afternoon,
anyway.
: MI Pedestrian arose slowly and
looked about for the bully who had
sandbagged him. All he saw was a
crowd laughing as If something funny
had happened Then he observed the
pillow. What sort OF game was this,
he wondered. Then a yell came from
above Everybody looked up. A gen.
tleman In negligee was hanging out of
a fifth story window and believing
something at the crowd below
The man who got hit with the pill
low shook his fist at the man in the
window The man in the window
waved his hand airly at Mr.. Pedes-
trian.
Bring it up" he yelled.
See you further" retorted the
aggrieved gentleman.
Jaw. be a good sport and fetch ii
up. Got a nice cold bottle on ice for
you If you win
Mr.. Pedestrian looked serious a mo-
ment: then a glad smile spread over
his features. The crowd caught the
spirit of the thing, too.
Go get il. kid somebody yelled.
Wish II was me- sighed another,
and he meant II.
The pedestrian gathered up the pill
low, tried to hide II under his coat
but it was too big. and then started
for the entrance to the hotel followed
BY the envious glance Of at least 25
hot and thirsty men.
