STATE ELECTION
On November 8

Atlanta, Aug. Under a law
passed by the last General Assem-
DIV and signed Monday by the
Governor, there will be no regular
State election in October this year
as has been the custom for nearly
40 years.
Under the new law, the State
and Federal ELECTORS have been
combined, to take place on the
date of the Federal election, which
occurs on the first Thursday in
November.
All the candidates nominated in
Wednesdays primary and all con
stltutional amendments proposed
will be voted for in November. 1t
is estimated that this change will
save the people about $4,000
every election year.
Not since the present Constltu-
ton was adopted in 1917 has q
regular State election been held at
any time except upon the first
Tuesday in October.
The new law is a code amend
ment, as the Constitution merely
says that State elections shall take
place on the fist Tuesday in Oc-
tober, unless the date shall be
changed by Legislative enact
ment.".

Anxiety Is Felt for
Pope, Weakened by
Worrying Over War

Rome, Aug. Is. Considerable
anxiety was evidenced here to-
day over the condition of Pope
Plus, although DR.. Marchiafava
said His Holiness was progress
ing as we'll as might be expected.
A fever has developed and
weakened the Pope. He is hav-
ing difficulty with his breathing,
but DR.. Marchiafava expects to
remove that in day or so.
The fever is attributed to ner-
vous depression and worry over
the European war. The Pope
has grived continuously since
Austria and Servia went to war.
1t was learned today that Emper-
or Francis Joseph of Austria had
asked the Pope to bestow his
blessing upon the Austro- Hun
garian army and navy, but the
Pontitf replied:
All the belligerents are equal
ly my children. Hence l am I'M
able to invoke Gods blessing on
or intercede for the triumph of
any particular nation, but l pray
fervently for peace.
