Thompson, assistant city license in
spector, claims that he has statistics
showing that Atlanta women use more
cosmetics than those of any other city
in the United States, with the sole .x-
ceptions of New York and Pittsburg.
Some time ago two well known At.
lanta ministers declared that Atlanta
girls we're the most painted and pow
dcred women in the world. The min
listers were denounced at the time as
slanderers, but according to Thompson
the statistics back them up. 1t is M.
Thompson's duty as city official to
compile the records of sales of people
who deal in such articles in Atlanta.

Washington, D. c., March 13.-Wiil
President Wilson be forced to let down
the civil service bars in order to take

Around the capitol and hotel Hobbies

ment for removal of the civil SER
vice cloak in order that more demo-
Gratis throughout the country who have
been waiting since the Cleveland all
ministration for office, might be salts
fed.
By close computation it was found
that in each state in the South there
are probably not more than twelve
or fifteen positions outside of the pos.
offices worth having which are not COW
cred by the civil service. Exclui-
ing the presidential postmasters anG
a few appointive positions, everything
else is practically covered. AS against
this it is safe to say that there is not
a member of congress who has NOT
already received many hundred appli.
cations for positions. Senator Smith
of Georgia has already more than 800
and men like Tillman, Martin and Ba-
con are swamped with mail bearing
applications.

Savannah, Ca, March 13.-There is
now a strong probability that Nj.

some post in South America instead of
to Switzerland. Mr.. Bryan, it is be-

it is his duty to go to South America

Interesting News On The
Situation

Washington, d. c., March 10. -
There is every reason to believe that
in the distribution of postofice pa
tronage in Georgia, 80 per cent. of the
presidential Offices will be given to
progressive democrats or persons ac-
ceptable to the progressive element Of
the Georgia democracy.
In very few instances will there be
any decided differences between Sen
ator Hoke Smith, who will be a mem
Der of the postoffice committee, and
the members of congress, upon whose
selections he passes. In these few in
stances there is a strong probability
that the differences will be adjusted
satisfactorily, at least to Nthe patrons
of the postoffices.
