M'NAUGHTON'S NECK
is NOT YET SAFE

Atlanta, Sept. 2O.-Dr. w, j. Nc
Naughton's neck is not yet safe. Gov
ernor Slaton has the recommendation
of the prison board before him, and it
is known that he is always disposed to
listen with the most profound attention
to their recommendations but he also
now and has before him affidavlts per-
porting to show that some of the eyi-
dence submitted to the prison board
and which the prison board accepted
in good faith, was not true.
The most startling part is contained
in three affidavits stating that Dr.
George Green, the physician who al
tended Flanders during his fatal sick
ness, had declared that Flanders had
been poisoned by his wife and Nc
Naughton.
The affidavits are in direct conflict
with afidavits presented to the prison
board to the effect that DR.. Green,
who has since died, declared that
Flanders died from natural causes.
In one of the affidavits presented to
Governor Slaton, DR.. Bell is quoted as
saying:
They have poisoned him just as /
suspected, but he will get well now.
told them they had better straighten
him out or they would get into trou-
BILE. He will get well now, for they
will be afraid to finish him."
The friends of Dr. McNaughton are
also busy before the governor, and
they have introduced new aftidavits to
show that Flanders himself took great
quantities of drugs while he was in
Thomasville, and once made the re-
mark This is going to kill me some
day"

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
ALMOST PROVES
GIRLS UNDOING

Atlanta, Sept. 20.-An Atlanta society
girl, Miss Ruth Moody, is home from
the Philippines with thrilling story
of how, because of her beautiful blonde
hair, she was marked by a tribe OF
head-hunters in Luzon.
She is the daughter of Captain
Thomas M. Moody, of the U. S. Army;
her escape from the head-hunters, 1t is
said, was due solely to the vigilance
of her parents and the fellow officers
and soldiers, who were warned re-
peatedly that the girl would be captur'
ed by the head-hunters at the first op
portunity.

BROAD SHOULDERS AND WAIST, NOTHING
NARROW BUT THE FOOT LINE

How perfectly suited to the supple
ness of youth are many Of our new
fashions. Loose. blousy effects and
dropped shoulders give to waist and
back the desired breadth which tapers
to the narrow graceful foot line.
To meet the requirements Of early
autumn 1850 is excellent developed in
q dull blue serge. daintily relieved and
frightened by a narrow frill Of lace.
Such frock is especially suited to out
of door wear when silks are bit too
cool and summary looking. The plain
ness of the dropped shoulder is broken
by short stitched plat, and the ar
rangement of inverted plaits on the
skirt gives the new peg-top effect that
is so smart and is seen on so many Of
the new fall skirts. The pattern is cut
in five sizes, fourteen to eighteen years.

White BOYS WILL
GET chance In ATLANTA

Atlanta, Sept. 20.-Thirty negro
messenger boys who have been en-
ployed at the postoffice for some years
past will get the hook as the result of
the appointment of Boiling Jones as
postmaster, and white boys will be
substituted in their stead
Mr. Jones is quoted as saying, Il
wish to give the white boys chance
There are many widows and mothers
in Atlanta dependent on their sons foc
livelihood, and if the boys can make
good l believe on giving them the
chance"
Mr.. Jones declares, however, that he
is going to try the experiment out
fairly, and that if it is shown for any
reason that the white boys do not make
as good messengers as the negroes, he
shall take back the latter.
The special delivery messengers are
not under civil service, but are hired
by the postmaster direct Heretofore
all the messenger places have been
held by negroes who make from $50 to
$50 a month.

Political News from Frankfort
A dispatch from Frankfort

A dispatch from Frankfort
says:
Capt. w. +. Stone, of Lyon
County, Commissioner of Pen
sions of this State, may announce
in q short time for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor
in the next gubernatOrlal pri.
mary.
Lieut.. Gov. McDermott, of
Louisville, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture Newman, of Versailles !;
and Attorney General Garnett,
of Columbia, are contemplating
making the race, but have not
made any public announcement
of their intentions. Commission
er Newman is certain to make
the race. Having been a men,
Der of the Senate, a professor in
the State University, secretary of
the State Fair and Commissioner
of Agriculture, he feels that he
is qualified to announce his can
didacy as a farmers friend, or a
farmers candidate.
The work of Lieut.. Gov. Nc
Dermott in routing the lobby
from the Senate, and raising that
body to dignity never before e.
qualed made him disliked by the
representatives of the big inter-
ests, but strong with the votes of
the State.
Attorney General Garrett will
depend largely upon his success
full conduct of his office to make a
winning race. Capt. Stone, if he
decides tc make the race, will, III
all probability, be the last Con-
ifederate soldier that the voters
of this Stats Hill erlhase an
opportunity to vote for in a State
race. He feels like the nomina-
ton is due him, because of the
defeat he received in the famous
Music Hall convention and will
depend upon his legislative, con.
gressional and departmental rec
ords to win the nomination.
Assistant Attorney General M.
M. Logan is expected to make
the race for Attorney General.

George q. Speer, of Frankfort,
Senator elect from the Four

restrain Gov. McCreary from is
suing a proclamation declaring
the constitutional amendments
providing for the working of con-
victs on the public roads and the
classification of property for
taxation, carried at the Novem-
her election. The constitution
requires constitutional amend

The suit is to test the validity of
the amendments before a bill

Government to Buy Telephone Lines.

The Government will most
likely be empowered by the COM
ing session of Congress to buy up
the long distance and local tele.
phones of the country. The plan
is to equip the telephone wires
also with telegraph instruments
and operate both the telephone
and telegraph business of the
country.
The average cost of telephone
calls IN many foreign countries,
owning their. own lines, is from
5 miles to ] cent per message.
In the United States the average
cost of the Bell system is more
than 2cents per message, and a.
bout cent by the independent
lines.
The American eng-distance
rates are enormous in comparison
with the European rates. In ma
nv instances they are 600 per
cent. higher. A telephone con-
versatIOn for a distance of 800
miles costs 30 cents in Europe
and 81 80 in this country.
The method of financing the
Government purchase of tele-
phone wires is detailed in the
plan as follows:
First, the Interstate Commerce
Commission shall apraise the tel
ephone equipment of the coun-
try. While this is being done
the Government is to pay per
cent, interest on the stock of the
telephone companies. When the
value has been fixed by the Com
MERGE Commission the Govern
nent is tn issue 3 percent. bonds
wiaA. xbch - yAlse the,n3epex&o
pay the sfockhofders' ahd bU6d.-
holders of the telephone compa-
MES or to give them the option
of taking the bonds.
The proposed plan does not in
v0lve any decrease In the local
telephone rates at once. 1t does
call for a readjustment of the
long distance rates. A fat rate
of cent per word for kilograms
for distances of 600 miles is pro-
posed for telegraph messages.
Regarding the plan of saving
the present telegraph companies
from governmental absorption,
it is held that the Bell and indie
pendent phones reach practically
every point in this country now
reached by the Postal telegraph
and Western Union, and the pur-
chase of the latter two properties
would amount to the purchase of
duplicate systems.
