SENATOR WEST PLANS
TOFULF|LL PROGRAM
ARRANGED BY BACON

The appointment or W. S. West, of
Valdosta, to the ad interim Senator
ship in succession to Senator Bacon,
which has been announced from the
Executive Department. has brought
to close one of the most uncertain
and elusive political contests ever
waged in Georgia
Not until the appointment was
actually given out by Governor Sla-
ton was it possible to forecast ac-
curately the outcome of the fight.
There were at least four well-defined
movements under way. any one of
which might have proved to be a wig-
uer up to within five minutes of thean-
nounced decision. The Governor him.
self states that his mind was not
fully made up until within a few
minutes Of the time he gave out the
appointment.
John T. Boifeuillet, of Macon; W.
S. West, of VaIdosta; w. c. Vereen.
of Moultrie, and w. w. Osborne, of
Savannah, all figured prominently,
even after the Clark Howell move
ment was ended by Mr.. Howell him
self.
West finally won, after a careful
process of elimination, and his ap-
pointment apparently gives general
satisfaction to the various political
camps.

Senator West, following the pub
lication of his appointment, stated
that he had written letter to John
T. Boifeuillet, of Macon, Senator
Bacon's private secretary, rendering
him the same office under the new
Senator and urging his acceptance of
+ the same.

The new Senator left for Valdosta
Wednesday night, on late train,
after having received hundreds of
congratulatory callers at his apart
ments in the Winecoff
Was Apparent Winner.
The more observant politicians be-
gan to see the rising of the West tide
as early as Monday afternoon, and by
Tuesday morning it became evident
that he was showing genuinely win
ming form. Following the elimination
of Howell, West gradually forged
ahead, and when his appointment was
announced the clans were in a meas
ure prepared for it, although by no
means sure it was coming.
The Governor following the ap-
pointment had nothing to say as 10
the political situation in general. 1t is
the opinion of majority of those who
keep tab on things, however, that the
State is in for two big Senatorial
campaigns next summer and hot
Gubernatorlal fight.
Whether Senator West will be a
candidate for the unexpired term Of
Senator Bacon, for which Congress-
man Hardwick already has an
nounced, is uncertain. Mr. West would
not say, when asked, as to that mat
ter.
If he should run for Senator Ba-
cons term, it will be taken to mean
that Governor Slaton will oppose Sen
ator Hoke Smith, and if he does not,
it will be taken to mean that the Gov
ernor will oppose Hardwick.
The State Democratic Committee g
expected to meet soon and arrange
for the primaries, nd until that meet
ing taf1es place the lines likely will
not be too tightly drawn.

REPAID THE FAVOR.
The Secret Of Lineoln's Friendship Fer
General Sickles.

General SickleR-
Although the late General Dan
iel Sickles was politically opposed
to President Lincoln and although
be was not a soldier by experience
or profession, yet Mr.. Lincoln new
er failed to confer command on
him when a proper opportunity Of
fered The promotion Of Sickles
often excited the surprise of the
presidents friends.
'The real cause" recently said q
Pennsylvania official, whose father
was intimate with President Lin
coin, was the presidents deep
sense Of gratitude. he never forgot
a favor. More, be never seemed to
feel that he bad sufficiently repaid
one, even though it we're a matter
Of simple courtesy.
at the time Of Lincoln's cleo
ton TO the presidency there were IN
the house Of representatives a few
Republicans who we're still disap-
pointed that the obscure western
politician had won the nomination
over the much more distinguished
Senator Seward. After congress
convened that winter Mr.. Lincoln
came to Washington, and, having
occasion to come on the floor Of the
house one day-a privilege he en-
joyed as q former member - he
walked in without any previous no
tice to the members.
'His presence was not particu-
larly noticed by any one, for the
members we're engrossed IN their
own affairs. But Mr.. Sickles, who
was a member from New York, saw
him and spoke to his friend and
fellow Democrat, Sunset Cox.
81 think he whispered, that
Lincoln feels hurt because none of
the Republicans have called atten-
ton to the president elects pres
ence on the floor. He's a modest
man, oversensitive, indeed, and just
now he's miserable over what he
fears is an intentional slight. Of
course you know, and l know, that
it isn't, but Lincoln doesn't know it,
and it's one Of those things that
you can't explain away. Go over to
one of your Republican friends and
tell him before it's too late. They'll
understand it, coming from you
Sunset Cox, who was a priv
legged character and as intimate
with the Republican members as
with the Democrats, fastened over
to one of the Republican leaders.
A moment later, with Mr.. Cox be-
side him, the Republican, eager to
repair the neglect, rose and called
the attention of the speaker to
the presence of the president elect.
At once the whole house rose to re-
ceive him.
"1Ps all right, Cox whispered
Sickles, with qualification. 7 can
tell from Lincoln's face
"Some time after Mr.. Lincoln
took occasion to thank Cox for
standing up with the Republican
leader on that day to represent the
Democrats.
"Bless your soul, that was Sick
les doingP replied Cox, and he
told Mr.. Lincoln the whole story

WHEN TO EAT THE BANANA.
Tropieai Nstivss Never Let the Frsif
Ripsn On the Tree.


According to Frederick Upham
Adams in bis book, 'fThe Conquest
Of the Tropics" there is a popular
Misunderstanding concerning when
the banana Is ripe Mr.. Adams as
serts:
The banana vii never enjoy the
popularity It deserves until the
people Of the temperate zones learn
TO know when it is ripe and learn
not to eat it in its raw state. There
is popular delusion that the banana
has ripened when it turns from its
original green to golden yellow,
and those thus deluded decline to
touch this fruit when dark spots
appear in the yellow skin of the
banana.
The banana is not fully ripe
when it is yellow. This change
from green to yellow is the first
outward appearance Of a chemical
process incidental to the ripening
process. Not until a considerable
portion Of the skin has turned to a
deep brown has this ripening proc
ess sufficiently developed to give
the fruit its greatest value as a de-
hcious and healthful food
The natives of the tropics do not
permit a banana to ripen on its
stem for the good and sufficient
reason that such a banana is hardly
fit to eat. A chemical process sets
in which partially disintegrates the
pulp, destroys the fine favor and
renders it insipid and almost taste
less. More than that, the rind
cracks when the banana starts to
ripen on the plant, and insects bur
row in the pulp and thus mar or
spoil the fruit. The natives pluck
the punches from the stem at about
the same period of their develop
ment that the leading importers do,
and there is SO little difference be-
tween an exported banana and one

MOTHERS AND MARRIAGE.
Does the Parent Want Her Daughter
Wed and Her Son singie7

"Eu anu EfSi SpH Ofhi6iS'
Women have the marrying habit;
men do not. This is not strange,
for generations of girls have been
taught that every woman should be
married and that to remain unwed
is disgrace. Being married wo-
man" has been sort of boast OF
superiority on the part of wives.
Naturally, because their mothers
and almost every other person OF
their own sex puts great deal OF
emphasis on the desirability of be-
ing married and none at all on the
desirability, which sometimes ex-
lists, of remaining unmarried, girls
looked on marriage as the goal of
ambition and bent their whole en-
ergies to getting husbands.
Rather than endure the unjust
stigma Of being cold maids" they
took the first man who gave them
chance. Their object was not love,
not a husband, but simply to ac-
quire the status, privileges and def
erence which they had been taught
we're denied to all Of their sex ex-
cept the married woman"
Can you imagine anything more
disastrous
Yet this is only half the story.
The other half consists in the fact
that the very same mothers who
fairly drive their daughters to
marry are singularly reluctant to
see their sons wed. The mother
who is employing all the arts and
craft of the chase to entrap some
other woman's son for her daugh-
ter's husband will weep at the an
nouncement that the other wo-
mans daughter has shackled her
son.-Mothers' Magazine.
