GAGE MATERIAL
Captain Brown Only Mem
Der of Last Years Five to
Return, But the Candidates
Are Promising Lot.

Because OF the dearth OF veteran ma
terial, the West Philadelphia High
basketball candidates have started prac-
tice months before any Of the other
schools. Captain John Brown is the sole
survivor from last years team, and the
prospects at first glance do not appear
very bright. However, the fact that every
position on the team is open has had the
effect OF bringing out more candidates
than has been the case in any other sea-
son Sixty men have reported thus far
and after the football season is over
many more are expected out. Captain
Brown, Pinkerton. Hunter. Gardner,
Abrams, Windhoyal, the high Jumper
and Cleeland all look good for varsity
berths at present.
There 10 bound to be some loose playing
among the sehoolboy gridiron players
in the games today because Of the wet
ball and sloppy field. None OF the public
high school elevens Is scheduled, but
Penn Charter, Chestnut Hill, De Lancey,
Germantown Academy, st. Luke's ana
several others will be greatly handi-
capped in their efforts to maintain a
clean list OF victories. Tomorrow Central
High expects a hard battle with Prince
ton Preparatory on Houston Field.

A CARD FROM Mr.. N. ]. YEOMANS
Candidate for Legislature Writes to
Voters of Terrell County,

To the People of Terrell County:
AS you know, l am candidate for
the legislature, subject to the action
of the democratic primary to be held
tomorrow. l have lived in Terrell
county for 81 years. Every voter
in the county knows me and knows
whether or not I am qualified to rep
resent the county in the general as
sembly.
l have been a lifelong democrat
and have never yet taken part in a
primary and then failed to support
the nominee.
The rules adopted by the State Ex-
ecutive Democratic Committee, gov
erning the present primary, provide
as follows:
mo person shall be deemed can
didate in said primary unless he is a
valid member and adherent of the
democratic party in both state and
national politics"
can qualify under these rules
and believe that no one who cannot
Equality should ask for the support
of the democrats of the county.
Ny opponent admits that he voted
in the democratic primary in 1912
and then bolted the primary, refused
to support President Wilson, the
nominee of that primary, and voted
for Roosevelt, the only president who
ever entertained negro at the white
house and ate with him at the same
table. This being true, the question
could be asked: "Is he a valid men,
Der and adherent of the democratic
party in both state and national poll
tics?'' and HAS he any right to ask
the white voters of the county to
support him in a democratic pri-
mary?"
On account Of the demands made
upon my time in my law practice and
in my business matters it has been
absolutely impossible for me to see
all the voters of the county and per-
sonally ask their support. 1t would
have been a pleasure for me to have
done so. If the white people believe
that / am qualified to represent them
in the Georgia legislature, and will
give me their support and influence,
I shall appreciate the confidence
shown me and shall represent them
to the best of my ability. Yours
truly,
adv. NJ. J. YEOMANS.

ATLANTA.-Do you spend $50 a
wear on soda water? If you were an
Albanian you would or you wouldn't
bear your pro rata expense of keep
ing the marble founts going.
It has long been known that At
lanta was the greatest soda water
city in the world, but new figures
prepared by an expert supply dealer
show some astounding facts. At
lanta spends $5,OOO,O0O year
on the fzzy stuff. Her people pour
one hundred million glasses of soft
drinks down their threats annually
at an average cost of five cents a
glass If this were put up in barrels
it would take a train of cars thir-
teen miles long to bring it to town.
If a soda fountain had been erect

wOoing Priscilla and had been run

days included, it would not yet have
served as many drinks as are passed
over Atlanta counters in one year.

CONDITIONS ARE BETTER
GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN THE
STATES PENAL SYSTEM.
Legislature Finds Comfort and Eff
cheney of COnvicts Improved, and
Better Road Work Than Fever.

The following dispatch from At
lanta was printed in daily papers of
the state Sunday:
Members of the legislative COM
mittee which toured the state to in
Ispect the convict camps just prior to
the adjournment of the general as
sembly declare that the improvement
in prison conditions in Georgia dur
ing the last year have been almost
miraculous.
They assert that the health, eff
cheney and comfort of the prisoners
have all been improved, that the state
is getting better road work from the
convicts than ever before, and that
the hadrships incident to the work
have been lessened. On the prison
farm at Milledgeville many indus
trial improvements and additions
have been made, so that the farm is
more nearly self-supporting than it
has ever been in its history.
High tribute is paid to the prison
commission, which is composed of
Chairman r. E. Dawson, Judge T. E.
Patterson and Hon. E. l.. Rainey.
Mr.. Rainey is the only member stand
ing for reelection in the coming pri-
mary, and information from all parts
of the state is that he is practically
without opposition.
