Diversion.
BY JAMES 3. NEVIN.

general to Paris is one of Atlanta's
most prominent fight fans" and rarely
misses a bout that is scheduled to be
/ top notcher.
! Wealthy, cultured, widely travelled
and of acknowledged business ability
and capacity. Mr.. Andrews finds more
mental relaxation in witnessing a clean,
clever boxing exhibition than in any
other form Of amusement.
! Few good contests are pulled of in
/ Atlanta that Walter P. Andrews is not
right there in the audience watching
that the play is fair and on the level.
! He is one of the most enthusiastic
lovers of the game in the city-and
he loves IL purely for the games sake
and not otherwise,
A boxing contest should, in MIR. An
drews' philosophy, be a gentleman's af-
fair. and the fact that it not always is
in no wise lessons his respect for the
sport INDUCED in after a manly fash
ion.
Mr.. Andrews is one of the most
prominent Elks in the country. While
that organization is, of course. utterly
free from and hands off in politics. it
is fact that every Elk in Georgia is
his we'll wisher in that Paris matter
and is roofing for his success.
The published statement that Joseph
L. Deadwyler, OF Athens is an appli-
cant for the United States district at
torneyship for north Georgia is a mis-
take. He is an applicant for the ap-
pointment as first assistant under the
winner of the bigger prize.
The contest for the attorneyship is
between Hooper Alexander, of Athens
and G. R. Hutchens, OF Rome-and is
quite warm enough. as it stands. with

The fever is spreading. The Sea-
board Air Line now refers to itself rs
the progressive" railroad Of the South.

Colonel Parrish Carter Tate, United
States district attorney for north Geor-
gia, has been awarded a diploma for
being able to keep silent of late in
more different languages than ever
were dreamed OF in the ordinary po-
litical philosophers of the day.
With Mr.. Tate silence not only is
golden-it also is silver, and much be-
| jeweled with rare and precious stones
Mr.. Tate neither affirms nor denies
he neither views with alarm nor points
with pride.
! In order to see if Mr.. Tate could be
made to commit himself to any propo-
sition, friend recently called his at
tention to the apparent fact that in
flock of passing sheep one was black.
Mr.. Tate eyed the seemingly black one
seriously and for some time, and then
he said: well, that sheep is black on
this side, anyway"
Mr.. Tate doesn't know what day his

er, and as his commission does not
expire until 1915, he IS hoping that he
may not be disturbed.

and Willacoochee-that want to cut
chunks from Coffee's territory.
Coffee gave up 200 square miles of
territory to Jeff Davis county four
! years ago. There may be little oh
! lection to some OF the proposed addi
tional cuts, but the old county likely
will not tamely suffer too much in
frngement on her territory.
