County, to succeed Colonel Charles
r. Pendleton as member OF the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee for the State at large. Chairman
William Harris probably has made
the most popular appointment posi-
BILE.
Not only is Mr.. Gambrell we'll ans
/ favorably known all over Georgia, but
his close business and personal asso-
citation with Colonel Pendleton both
go to make his appointment particu.
larly appropriate and happy.
He has kept in very close touch
with the political trend in the State
for years, and, although not an Of
fiCeholder himself, he knows the game
and how to play it.
Mr.. Gambrell Is a trustee of the
Georgia State Sanitarium, and as such
has rendered excellent and effective
service to the people.
Very few Georgians with an appre-
ciable amount of red blood in their
veins will fail to rejoice that Lisu-
tenant Colonel Consta btine Maria st
Perkins of the United states Marine
Corps, retired, Is TO be reinstated.
There is no doubt whatever that his
retirement was the result of as mean
and contemplate plot as ever was
Matched in Washington; and that he
Is 20 he roinstated Is the result OF the
long, relentless and intelligent fight
made in his behalf by Congressman
William Schley Howard, OF the Fifth
District.
Colonel Perkins is a native OF
Georgia, having been appointed 10
Annapolis by President Grant under
most interesting and inspiring cir
CumstanCes.
His appointment came soon after
the war, when partisan feeling was
high. He wished to go to the navy
but the then Congressman from the
Seventh District could not name him
His father, an old sailor in the Con-
federate Navy, took the matter Tr
directly with General Grant, then the
President. The general informed
Colonel Perkins father that it was
the custom of Presidents to name
only the "sons OF sailors In the navy
TO Annapolis"--and then the elder
Perkins informed the President that
he (Perkins) was an ext sailor, IN the
Confederate service.
We'll" said General Grant, Il think
that will let me in-we will consider
that as coming within the precedentf
and customs-I'll name your boy. Per,
l<ins!" And name him the genera
did!
From that day to this Perkins ca
reer in the navy has been marked by
honor and high integrity OF purpose,
A few years ago Perkins was made
the victim Of a plot, however--and
upon a trumped up charge was re-

The entire Georgia Court of APP
peals will be up for reelection this
year. Not since the court was estab-
lished has this occurred, and 1t is not
likely to occur again in many years
Judge Russell, the chief judge by
reason of seniority Of membership on
the court, will ask for a new term.
Judge Payton Wade, recently named
by the Governor to succeed Judge
Robert Pottle, will ask to be elected
to his uneXpired term, and Judge
Roam, if he decides to run, will be 81
candidate for Judge Ben Hills uneX-
pired term.
Judge Richard B. Russell likely will
have no opposition. 1t was announced
Sw days ago that Judge Robert
Hodges, of the City Court Of Macon,
would oppose Judge Russell. but this
appears TO have been a mistake.
Judge Hodges will be candida to
for the Court of Appeals, but he will
run either against Judge Nash
Broyles or Judge Roam, for the lat
ter's position, or against Judge Pay
ton Wade-and the report is that ia
will be against the latter. This seems
the more likely, too, as both Wade
and Hodges hail from the same Sec
ton OF the State, as that matter re-
lates to the Appellate Court as now
constituted.
1t Is regarded as a practical GER
tainty that Judge Nash r. Broyles
will have opposition, even should
Judge Roam decide not to be a candi-
date, but so far suggestions as to who
that opponent will be are not forth
coming. Judge Broyles made a re-
markable race last time, and already
IL. a. 81
in the fall primaries. 1t is agreey
that whoever undertakes to dispute
this position with the Atlanta man
will have his hands full
Justices Hill and Evans of the Su
preme Court. will go before the peo
pie this year for reelection, but so
far not the slightest whisper of OPP
position to either has been heard, nCf
Is opposition anticipated. So there il
no room for speculation in that direc-
ton.
Judge F. c. Foster. of Madison, was
waited upon by a delegation of his
fellow citizens a few days ago and
requested to allow the use of his
name as a candidate for the Legisla
ture from Morgan County this year,
He stated that he would run, provid-
ed he might be elected without oppo
sition, but that he would not enter
into a scramble" for the office. AS
he likely viii have no opposition, he
may as well be accepted now as a
member of the next House
Judge Foster represented Morgan
County in the Legislature in 1880, and
was the author of the present stock
law. He was also a member of the
National Democratic Convention in
Chicago that nominated Grover
Cleveland for President the first time,
and was at one time judge Of the
Ocmulgee circuit of the Superior
Court.
The Judge is one of the best known
| and most genuinely popular men in
the State. and is regarded as a safe
! and sane legislator. incidentally. he
probably is the very best story
teller in Georgia.

HOME RULE AND
VOTES MENACE
PARLIAMENT
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-All Great Brit
ain is awaiting with intense interest
the opening of Parliament tomorrow.
The session is regarded as one of the
most important in the history Of the
country. Heavy forces OF police will
be on duty in and around the Par
lament buildings when the members
meet to take up the home rule bill and
other big measures that are to be set
tied
Leaders of the militant suffragettes
threatened to-day to inaugurate :he
greatest campaign of violence that
England has ever seen because of the
refusal of the Government leaders to
consider any measure for suffrage. All
the members of the Cabinet met to-
day at the residence of Premier AS
quith to make the final arrangement $
for the opening of Parliament and the
program to be followed. Later in the
day King George conferred with Pre-
mier Asquith. The final draft of the
speech to be delivered from the
throne was approved at the latter
meeting.
The speech will deal chiefly with
to the settlement of Balkan affairs, the
proposed reformation of the House of
Lords naval estimates and other
financial measures.
Upon the eve of the great session
there was no indication that efforts
for compromise on the home rule bill
would be successful. John Redmond
declared that the measures giving
Ireland self government would be
pressed to conclusion despite
threats in Ulster.

REDUCING ALBUMEN
BRIGHT,S DISEASE

To prove that Fulton's Renal Com
pound reduces the escape of albumen in
many cases of Brights disease we will
mail on request formula for cumulative
test that will show the percentage of
albumen from day to day AS the al
bumen reduces, patients commonly i'm
prove, recoveries having been reported
in thousands of cases.
Patients with Bright's disease are
largely on Digitalis, Nitro Glycerine,
Bashams Mixture, etc, admitted to be
hopeless in chronic cases. Under Full
tons Renal Compound patients often
begin to feel better before the albumen
shows much decline, thus patients often
know the case is responding before the
tests show it. Important-Keep the liver
active.
II YOU have Brights disease do you
not owe it to yourself and family to try
tuiton,s Renal Compound before giving

Company.
