DO NOT RELISH THE WAR

of the great news associations is
borne equally by the papers of which
they are representatives. And take
the one item of white paper. 1t was
necessary for us today to put on two
extra pages to carry the war news,
two more than we ordinarily would
have used. And while the extras
and increased interest do increase
circulation that only means addition
al expense. No, we are not hungry
for war"

LOSES HIS NONOPLANE IN BLAZE
Townsville Machine Ready For the
Trial Flight When Destroyed.

Trial Flight when Destroyed.
THOMASVILLE.-In the fire that
destroyed Thompson's opera house
here early yesterday morning there
was one loss which cannot be easily
replaced that of a monoplane built
by Isaiah Dekle, Jr., of this city, and
which was to have been tried out to-
day. The monoplane was on the
stage fthe opera house and it was
impossible to do anything with it be-
fore the flames reached it.
Mr.. Dekle had been working on the
machine for many months and was
feeling happy in its completion and
the hope that his labOrs would be re-
warded by a successful fight in it,.
1t was built after a special idea of
his own, which he had worked out
carefully and tried on two miniature
machines which had flown success
fully and encouraged him to more
ambitious undertakings. The engine
he used for his machine was from
the Glenn Curtis company and that,
it is said, is not hurt, so the young
man will probably go to work again
with the hope that luck will be with
him this time.

OLIVER is AT IT AGAIN
FORMER CONVICT is ALLEGED
TO BE PASSING BAD CHECKS.
Local Banks Receive Warning From
State Association. divers Al
legged AccOmplices in Crime.

AeSeO ACCOmpIlceS III NIr1me.
A. D. Oliver, high financier and al
legged promoter of good things"
whose notoriety as the Climax
king" is still remembered wildly in
that little piney woods town, is again
in the glare of the limelight. Oliver
has recently been promoting bank
and trust company at Smithville and,
it seems, has extended his field of
operations to smaller towns in South
Georgia. Just where he is at present
his banking associates do not appear
to know.
The following card, headed "Geor-
gia Bankers Association, Warning
No. 49," signed by Haynes McFad-
den, Secretary, has been received by
banks in Dawson:
Atlanta, Ga.-Nearly $4,000 of
worthless checks on the Weathers
Banking Company, of Dooling, Ca,
have been uttered during the past
week. A. d. Oliver, of Climax fame,
but more recently OF Smithville, and
his associates, R. T. Jones, C. M.
WarIick and A. r. Kennedy, are said
to be responsible for all this fictitious
paper. The checks are drawn on
imaginary or portable banks at
Towns, Ga, Denton, Ca, and Bridge
boro, Ga"
His Associates.
Regarding alleged operations of
Oliver and his associates in that sec
ton the Townsville Times-Enter
prise contains the following interest
ing story:
at is said that r. T. Jones men
toned in the card signed by Secre-
tary McFadden has been associated
with A. D. Oliver for some time. A.
R. Kennedy, it is understood, was
formerly employed by the Moultrie
Banking Company and later by the
Bank of Denton, having only recently
been employed by the Oliver institu-
tons.
&C. NJ. Warlick is understood to be-.
one of the incorporators of the
Huntsman Oil Company of Smith
vile, a 100000 concern, which has
applied for Incorporation in Lee
county, Georgia. He is well remem-
bered in Thomasville, where he was
formerly employed by the Ingram
Drug Co.
"A new story of the source of Oil
ver's fabulous wealth is going the
rounds to the effect that he inherited
fortune of some two or three mil
lions from an uncle, which, to avoid
litigation, he invested under direc-
lions Of the late Robert G. Ingersol.
Whatever may be said of A. D.
Oliver it is acknowledged by those
who have met him and had dealings
with him that he is a smooth talker,.
srrewd, possesses a plausible address,
and has people guessing as to wheth-
er he is himself or his reputed twin
brother"

president since Thomas Jefferson"
I'm conclusion I pray that the God
of right and justice will give me
strength to measure up fully to the
duties of the high Office to which you

Friends Congratulate Him.
Immediately following Mr.. Hard
wick's speech scores of friends rush
ed up to congratulate him.
Mr.. Hardwick showed few signs of
the fatigue he must have felt. For
thirty-six hours he had had no sleep.
Governor Slaton remained IN the
hall until the conclusion of the four
teenth ballot. He was not at all
downcast at defeat. He had a pleas
ant word for all his supporters, who
thronged around him and pledged
their fealty to him.
Governor Slaton left for Atlanta
on the O'Clock train. He said that
he would give out a statement later.
Senator Hoke Smith, whose pres
ence at the convention unquestiona-
bly, contributed largely to the Hard
wick and Fielder forces securing con-
troll of the temporary organization,
which meant the appointment of the
credentials committee, left Macon at
o'clock Wednesday morning.
He remained on the stage in the
convention hall until 10 o'clock Tues
day night an interested spectator of
all that TRANSFERRED. While he made
no direct statement the word had
been passed around that Mr.. Hard
wick's election was desired by him.
He made no secret of the fact that
he was taking hand in the tempo
rary organization.
Convention DisOrderly.
The convention was one of the
stormiest that has ever been held in
Georgia. There were hours during
the early part of Wednesday morn
ing when no business could be trans
acted on account of the wild disor-
der. Despite this fact, however,
there we're no fights.
Between 4 and 1915 o'clock We'd

was made to get roll call, but it
was impossible. AS dawn broke pam

..,ss the democratic state conven-
sos Yesterday noon nominated Thos.
= Eardwick to be the junior senator
,n the state of Georgia for the I'M

Tbis was done by virtue of the
,,tbdrawal of Thos. S. Fielder, of

~. the fourteenth ballot, after a
s,sbour adjournment following an
.nrigbt session. and Felder's throw
mo his entire delegation to the Hard
wick side.
The Slaton forces went down to
defeat undaunted, with 1873 votes
sanding firm for the governor on the
! final ballot.
The nomination of Hardwick fol-
loved one of the grimmest, hardest
] fugbt convention fights the state of
Georgia has known in many years,
declare seasoned politicians. The
victory of the game cock" from
! Washington county was only achiev-
ID after all-night-long ballOting, a
Aree-hour early morning filibuster
/ by the temporary Slaton-Felder coali-
ion to force adjournment for the
weary delegates, and after Felder's
final realization that the SlatOn men
we're never coming down-that they
we're decided to leave the convention
intact as a SlatOn delegation as a
protest against the violation of the
principle of the state election law in
the possible nomination of anyone
but the Cadidnate who came into the
with straight plurality
Of both county unit and popular
votes.
The delegates were thoroughly
worn out and their voices were
hOarse as a result of the wild disor-
der Of the night previous.
Word Passed Around.
No sooner had the convention con-
vened than the word was quietly
passed around that Mr.. Fielder would
from the race. This meant
but one thing-the nomination of
Thomas w. Hardwick on the four
tenth ballot.
Mr., Fielder mounted the platform
at l2:1O o'clock. The confusion and
disorder of the night before had sub
sided in large measure. The dele
gates and spectators, however, sat
tense in suppressed excitement. Mr..
FIELDER began his remarks by thank
ing the delegates who had stood by
MIN through the thirteen ballots.
Among other things he said:
I am convinced that the time has
come when this convent on should
nominate senator without further
leIaT | had hoped that during ad-
ournment of the convention this
morning Governor Slaton would re-
ease his delegates and that Mr..
1aTdWick and myself might fight for
uem as best We could. But l find
nat we are starting just as we left

ny friends to withdraw my name

Ion' / am now out of it, but if my

Inc convention broke out in an
pFoar and the Hardwick emblem of
gigantic game cock was carried
the platform.

this evening. The meeting was a large
one, and although some members were In

not please the majority. because to 20

that they did not want.
Il. Walter Clark thought racing might

said. there was nothing TO do II all went
home except to sit still and read the
newspapers. 1t finally was agreed that
the runs to and from Vineyard Haven
scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday
should be given up, and that instead the
races for the Aston cups should be sailed
tomorrow, and the race for King George 3
cup on Wednesday.
The propriety of racing for the Kings
cup was also discussed. but IL was thought
to be proper as there was no news that
England was at war. Just what the
cup defenders will do, and whether the
Americas cup will be raced for this year.
