Of FUTURE
Predicts That Time Is Not Distant
When New York and Bombay
Will Be Lost Ports.

Special Gable TO The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON. Feb. 20.-Rudyard Kip
ling made one Of his very rare public
appearances at Queens Hall, where
he lectured before the Royal Geo
graphical Society to a large audience,
including many seasoned explorers, on
Some Aspects Of Travel"
In characteristic passage Kip
ling spoke Of the typical smells en-
countered in travel:
Have you noticed that wherever a
few travellers are gathered together
one man or another is sure to say,
DO you remember that smell at such
a place.? Then he may go on to
speak of camel, pure camel one Whit
Of which is all Arabia, or of the smell
of rotten eggs at Hirt, on the Euphra-
ties, or of the flavor of drying fish in
Burma.
Two Elementary Smells.
There are only two elementary
smells of universal appeal" Kipling
declared; the smell of burning fuel
and the smell Of melting grease; the
smell, that is, of what man cooks his
food over and what he cooks his food
in"
Speaking of the travel OF the flu
ture, he said:
Naturally, 80 long as we travel by
sea we must embark from a port and
look out for landfalls. but the time is
not far off when the traveller will
know or care as little whether he is
out at sea or over land as we to-day
know and care whether our steamer
is over 40 fathoms or a Tuscarora
deep.
Then we shall hear the lost ports
of New York or Bombay bowling like
Tarshish and Tyre. Incidentally we
shall change all our mental pictures
of travel"
Work for Explorers Yet.
The lecturer paid an eloquent trib-
ute to modern explorers.
The spirit Of man carries him on
unaltered and indispensable" he said
There will arise risks to be met as
cruel as any Hudson or Scott faced;
dreams as world wide as those CO.
lumbus or Rhodes dreamed to be
made good or to die for, and decisions
to be taken as splendidly terrible as
that Drake clinched by Magellan or
Oates, little farther south.
THE men Of the present have be-
gun the discovery of a new world
with the same devoutiy careless pas
sion as that with which their pred
ecessors completed the discovery of
the old"

Mr.. and Mrs. HemperIey Thought
Daughter Was Joking Until
They Saw Son-in-Law.

When Miss Ruby Hemperley, an
East Point society girl and daughter
of Mr. and Mrs A. c. Hemperley,
told her mother she was going out to
be married Thursday evening, Mrs.
Hemperley laughed and thought II a
good joke. So did Mr. Hemperley.
Then they went on reading their
papers.
But when Miss Hemperley returned
home at o'clock the same evening,
as Mrs. Clarence H. Jones, and
brought Mr. Clarence H. Jones him
self along in the role of sudden hus-
band, Father and Mother Hemper-
ley put their papers aside and gazed
at the pair in establishment,

asked Mrs. Hemperley after the ex-
plantations and kissing and that sort
of thing had ben done.
Miss Hemperley-Mrs. Jones-ad-
mitted she had not known her hus-
band long, but that she met him at
one or two social affairs in East Point
and loved him at once.
OF course the Rev. John r. Purser,
at his home in West End, had no
idea he was performing a surprise
marriage when Miss Hemperley and
Mr.. Jones appeared at his residence
with marriage license at $3.50 p. m.
Thursday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones will live in New
York. Mr.. Jones is in business in
that city.

Introducing to-day for an extended

The lid is Off in Georgia. with the

Unless this truly unparalleled and
untrammeled scribe misses his first
guess. the battle Is destined to re-
solve itself into a titanic struggle
for mastery OF two Senstorships and
Governorship, which. II one side
wins them all, will come mighty near
sewing up Georgia politically for
years to come.
Also, as General Sir Redvers Bull

The Governor may resolve that, in
lenged, he will not try for the short
term, anyway as II was originally
thought he might. but will undertake
Smith instead!
Here the plot thickens. That would
mean a battle royal, and the time for
small boys to stand from under.
Both men are superb fighters, both
are perfectly at home on the stump
and both have aggressive and mighty
fOllowings.
That, too, would mean a foeman
worthy of Tom Hardwick's steel, from
the hosts of the Slatonites. It might
mean Little Joe" himself

Maybe, on the other hand, former
Governor Brown would prefer to I'M

been more or less successful.
Then. to oppose Hardwick, there
would be-who? (Tom Watson, please

and the Smith following on the one
hand, and Governor Slaton and the

II seems more than likely that the
contest may assume national as
poet, for 1t probably would be made a
national administration matter.
In other words both Senator Smith
and Congressman Hardwick are very
close to the President, and he would
presumably, sympathize with that
side In the Georgia contest-particu
larly as Governor Slaton and Gov
ernor Brown sided with the Oscar
Underwood lineup in the last Presi-
Dental primary.
The Underwood side won decisive

there would be another pretty prob
