Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, March 10.--Militant suf-
fragettes in their campaign for votes
to- day opened a vicious fight against
the art masterpieces Of England.
Shortly after the opening Of the Ma
tional Gallery to-day party of young
women entered and began looking at
the collection. They carried cata-
logues and guide books AS though
they were tourists. When in front II

pocket and began slashing at the glass
which covered the face Of the canvas
Before guards arrived she had
smashed the glass and badly injured
the picture. She was then arrested
At the police station the women
was identified as Mary Richardson, a
Social and Political Union, who was
recently charged with arson at HamP-
ton Court.
Reprissl for Arrest.
The woman was defiant and told the
Scotland Yard officials that she had
been inspired to her act of vandalism
by the arrest OF Mrs, Pankhurst in
Glasgow last night
This S just reprisal, and ! do not
regret IT," she declared Il hope

The National Gallery was closed

of the canvas had been cut entirely

that part of the painting showing The
nude reclining figure of Venus ga%-

pressed that the picture could not be
restored to its original form.

Anticipating the arrival ofM Mrs.
Pankhurst from Scotland where she
had secretly been put upon n London
train, detachments of women were
sent to all the railway stations at
noon They were ordered to act as
pickets and to endeaVor to rescue
Mrs Pankhurst from the police upon
her arrival. If the police guard were
too strong, orders were given out that
the arrested leader should be followed

HUGH WILLIAMSON
For Prosecuting Attorney.

oi IoSttutiitS Attorney.
 Hon. Hugh Williamson an- nOunceS this week as a candi- date for Prosecuting Attorney. Hugh needs no introduction at our hands to the people of this county, but as the 3rd Judicial Circuit is composed of four counties, in some of which he is not very well known, We deem it not out of place to say that we have known Hugh from his cradle to this good day-every day of his life, and there is not a blemish on his character. He represents a type of young A merican manhood that is only too scarce, and there is nothing in the gift of the voters of Stone county beyond the reach of Hugh Williamson. He has been law student under the careful training of his father, since boyhood, and has been in the active practice for a number of years. He began teaching in early life and served the county as County Examiner for two terms, during which time the educational interests gained an impetus that yet exists. He was almost unanimously elected rep resentative two years ago, and the record he made in the last legislature is matter of pride personally felt by every voter in Stone county He is sober, clean, capable and scrupulously l honest. His ideals of American citizenship are high, but he lives up to his ideals.
 Stone county has never had the honor of Prosecuting Attor- ney conferred upon one of her citizens, but has Loyalty support ed the candidates of other coun- ties, and in few instances, pre- vented the position going to the enemies of Democracy. Now that we introduce a young man
 the peer of any, we do say, with
 out disparagement to other as
 pirants, that if the voters of the
 :}rd Judicial Circuit vii help us elect him, they will always be glad they did so, and at the same time, honor a young man full! deserving of their highest con fidence, and one who holds thu interest of the people above DO sition or personal gain.-Ston County Record, (Advo

Beauty. and Utility,

For the seventeenth time in three
years the microscopic South American
state has undergone a change Of ad.
ministration, and the new potentate,

people are impressed by such things.

by these ideas as far as possible"
The artist examined them care
fully.
They were gorgeous affairs. Green
coats We'd with crimson vests in
brilliancy, orange-colored trousers
with scarfs of Cambridge blue. All
the colors Of the rainbow were there.
"Ah!" he said, turning the pages.

KEPT WARM BY ELECTRICITY
Ingenious Device Employed for Ba.
bies' Cribs in Presbyterian rios
pltal In New York.

In the Presbyterian hospital, New
York, there is an interesting instance
of the application of electricity in the
nursery for the benefit of the incu
bator babies. Here, says the Edison
Monthly the problem is to- provide
plenty OF fresh air and at the same
time sufficient warmth for the babies,
and this has been solved by simple
but effective form Of crib warmer.
The sides of the bassinet in which
the baby lies are covered with ashes,
tos boards and beneath is an electric
heater or foot warmer, with cable
couplings and switch which allows the
current to be regulated. In a warm.
air chamber between the bassinet and
the foot-warmer is a partition, so con.
structed with reference to the baby's
position In the crib that the heat is
reflected to the lower end of the bas,
sinet. The child's feet are thus kept
warm, while lower temperature is
maintained at the head.

THAT ABODE OF THE PkSl
John SaIsHnrthy's Charming Picture
of an Old Dlsused Southern
Landmark.

Eyes, suh-here we are at that old
time place!" And our dark driver
drew up his little victoria gently
writes John Gaisworthy in Scribner's.
Through the open doorway, into
dim cavern of ruined house, we passed.
The mildew and dirt, the dark, de-
nuded darkness of that old hostel,
rotting down with damp and time!
And our guide, the tall, thin, gray
haired dame, who came forward with
such native ease, and moved before
us, touching this fungused wall, that
rusting stairway and telling, as it
were, no one, In her soft, slow
speech, things that any one could see
what strange and fitting figure.
Before the smell Of the deserted,
oozing rooms, before that old creature
leading us on and on, negligent of all
our questions and talking to the air,
as though We were not, we felt such
discomfort that we soon made to go
out again into such freshness as there
was on that day of dismal heat. Then
realizing, 1t seemed, that she was los
ing us, our guide turned; for the first
time looking in our faces, she smiled
and said In her sweet, weak voice,
like the sound from the strings of a
spinnet long unplayed on; Don you
wahnd to see the dome room, an all
the other rooms right here, of this
old placer"
Again those words! We had not
the hearts to disappoint her. And ts
we followed on and on, along the
moldering corridors and rooms where
the black peeling papers hung like
stalactites, the dominance of our
senses gradually dropped from us, and
with our souls we saw its soul-the
soul of this old time place; this mus,
tering house of the old south, bareft
of all but ghosts, and he-gray pigeons
niched in the rotting gallery round a
narrow courtyard open to the sky.
'This is the dome room, sub and
lady; right over the slave market Il
Is. Here they did the business of the
state-sure; see their face up there
in the roof-Washfngton, Hamilton
Jefferson, Davis, Lee-there they are!
All gone-now! Yes, suh!"

COSMOPOLITAN DAMASCUS.
The Oldest City on Earth, 1t Show

All tnc WOTiu TSOJlCS'
At last we are set down in the midst
Of Damascus, a city that can claim
life without a break from its founding
back In the dim dawn of the worlds
history. When Abram crossed the des
ert from Haran 1000 years ago this
city was standing Genesis xiv, To- and
Nv, p. She dates back to the time Of
the Pharaohs in Egypt. In fact, she
was old when Greece and Rome were
striplings In years. Rome may be
termed the Eternal City, but Damas-
Gus is twice as old, and though bel
streets have run red with blood Of
battle and rapine many times, she
has not been overthrown.
Babylon is an heap in the desert.
and Tyre a ruin on the shore" but
Damascus remains.
Was there ever such place to see
the nations of the earth parading to-
gether? Here in the market place are
motley crowds of Persians, MoorS, At
ghans, Indians, Egyptians, Sudanese,
Jews, Bedouins, Druses, Turks, Euro
peans. The streets-so crooked, so mar
row, so dirty, so full of life, with that
strange spell of the desert upon them
The residences as seen from the street
are ugly and disappointing enough,
yet like old barns and tumbledown
mills at home are fascinating and pic

FRANKlNG MAIL MATTER.
AZ One Time Soldiers In This Country
Enjoyed the Privilege.

hlSg@A NAt~
The postofice was first established
for the principal and in some countries
for the exclusive purpose IT carrying
official correspondence by mail. Later
In France, Great Britain and the
United States because of the great ex.
pansion and commercialization of the
postal system the free carriage of mail
matter came to be regarded as privi.
lege and this privilege was claimed by
persons In official position.
In England the house OF commons
claimed the privilege as early as 1860
however. by the passage OF Rowland's
cheap postage measure in 1899. In the
United States the first appearance Of
the Thanking privilege is traceable to
the action of the Continental congress-
assuming control of the postofiice In
January, 1776, 1t is interesting to
learn that it was then granted to all
private soldiers actually In service for
all letters they might write or that
might be written to them.
In the early years Of the United
States government the privilege was
granted widely, but it soon became
necessary to restrict 1t. An act of
March 3, 1916, limited the privilege to
the president, tie vice president, mem
bers and delegcta1 in congress, the
third assistant postmaster general and
all postmasters. Other Offices were di-
rected to keep quarterly accounts of
postage.-Argonaut.

NAMING A TOWN.
Concord Was Selected After Fifty
Years of Controversy.

The name of Concord. y. H., was
given to the town after controversy
which lasted fifty years. III 1920 the
land now within its bounds was grant
ed to the colonists under the name of
Peacock by the colony of MaSsachu-
sets: This claim was disputed by the
colony of New Hampshire, which two
years later granted this same land to
the township of Bow. 1888 Massachu-
sets incorporated Peacock into
township named Rumford. and for
more than forty years Il fierce legal
controversy was carried on. No agree
ment could be reached, and the mat
ter was taken to the authorities i'll
England, but even then there was no
satisfactory nor permanent settlement.
In the face of an evident leaning
toward the claims of Bow, both in
England and in America. the little
band of colonists in Eumford fought
on valiantly. and in 1865 an act of
Incorporation was granted to the iu
habitants of Iiumford. This was still
highly unsatisfactory because it only
made them n parish in the town Of
Bow
The controversy continued until 1774,
when il was finally settled and an
independent town was formed under
the name of Concord 1t was due TO
the devotion of the little band OF
70 h.f nd tla.. tVft
which existed among them that the
Independent Incorporation of the town
was finally obtained. and it was emf
nently fitting that the concord which
existed between them during the strug
gle of nearly fifty years should he
memoriaized in their towns name
