TOM WATSON IS
STILL BARKING
COME MORE POLITICAL GOSSIP
Ae TO PROSPECTIVE
CANDIDATES

Atlanta, June l5.--Dame Rumor is
busy this morning with a piece of
political gossip, called ridiculous by
ts2me, and sensational by others.
which some OF the seasoned pollti-
eiana declare Nevertheless is true. 1t
IS that Hugh Dorsey as the political
protege Of Tom Watson is going to
luu for United States senate against
Hcke Smith.
Mr.. Dorsey has authorized no such
statement and so.ne Of his friends
cen scarcely believe this now sug.
gcsted course Of action as possible,
yet the runior pcrsists
Theory has It that Dorsey, after
ALL did really want to run for gov,
Iernor, but that Tom Watson decided
TO SUPPORT Nat e. Harris OF Macon.
Then Mr.. Watson, 50 it is stated,
agreed thar he would back Mr. Dor
sey against Hoke Smith and persuad-
ed Dorsey TO agree 10 run against the
United States senator.
II all this is true MIR. Dorseys
formal announcement may be expect
ed socn. In any event the persist
eRcy Of such story is bound to
cause Mr.. Dorsey to make definite
statement Of his plans in the near
future.
More rumor has ii that Mr.. Wat
son is going to get Guyt McLendon
to come back into politics and run
against Paul b. TrammeI with the
hope OF disrupting the state railroad
commission as now constituted.
AS the bug-bear of Georgia poll
ties the red-headed sage OF McDuffle
is doing some powerful growing
these days in the political buzzings
in this neck of the woods can be
trusted. though whether ne is going
10 bite anybody remains yet to be

WEARING WRONG
KIND OF CLOTHES
THAT is WHY ATLANTA PEOPLE
SUFFER so FROM TIE
HEAT

Atlanta, June 15.-That AtlantiaIs
wear the wrong kind of clothes in

necessarily is declared By physicians
and Others who have been inYestigat-
Ing tho heat statistics and conditions.
Atlantians as class, it is stated,
wear the same kind of clothes in
summer that New Workers and Chi
cago people wear, while as mat
ter OF fact they ought to wear the
kind OF clothes that are worn in Tam
Ia, Mexico City and Havana.
A comparatively few men in At
lanta have taken regularly to the lin
en- and white duck suits, but they
are in the conspicuous minority. The
average Atlanta mans summer suit
is made Of wool and weighs from
six to eight pounds, dependent on
whether it has vest and lining CT
not. lie ought, says the physicians,
to be wearing a suit that weighs two
pounds as a maxih4m.
Another reason why It is said ev-
erybcdy ought to wear white in sum
mer is the scientific fact that heat
rays are REFLECTED by white while
they are absorbed by black and 9TH
sf dark colors.
Georgians, 1t Is laid, have never
got 1t into their heads that they real
y live way down in Dixie" when it
comes to wearing apparel. . The Flor
dian puts on white ducks and linens

Just as the Cuban Goes, but the
Georgian, because the nights are us
