The Cleveland Marriage.
Grover Cleveland did not marry I'M
til fairly late in life. He married
Frances Folsom, the daughter of his
law partner, whom he had known
when she was little girl at an age
when she had called him Uncle
Cleve." Mr.. Cleveland and Miss Fol-
som were married in the Blue room at
the White House.
For long time it was thought that
President Wilson would be married
in the White House. For some reason
or other people took it for granted
that Mrs Gait would prefer a cere-
mony in the executive mansion. From
the point Of view Of womankind it
seemingly is a compelling thing to be
able to speak of White House we'd
ding as one of the participants. Mrs
Gait, however, held to the thought that
a woman should be married in her
own home rather than in that of her
husband She did not believe in
breaking the American home prece-
dent in such matters. worlds prece-
dent in fact, Washington generally
comedies that she showed good taste
in her quick determination that her
own house should be the scene of the
wedding.
The wedding of the president Of the
United States to Mrs Calf will be in
1etail and surroundings a most simple
affair. 1t will be in keeping with ira
ditional American simplicity in cases
does one dare say it?-where the
bride and the groom have passed be-
yond the stage of youth.

THROWS OUT THE
LIFE LINE CAUGHT

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec 1S.-The city
school board has come to the rescue
of DR.. W. N. Adkins, the young physi-
clan recently appointed school exam
iner, who ordered all the lady teachers
to appear before him stripped to the
waist"
When the incident occurred and the
school maams protested that they
would do no such thing, number of
the members of the board criticized
Ir Adkins, and said he had exceeded
his authority. 1t was announced az
the time that the examinations would
have to be made, but that if any school
teacher objected to having DR.. Adkins
make the examination it could be done
by the family physician.
Now after thinking it over, the
school board has decided that tho
young Doctors medical ideas, if not
his diplomacy, are in the main right,
and that the school teachers will have
to stand the examinations. 1t is pro-
vided, however, that they can be made
where desired by woman assistant,
who will be appointed to help DR.. Ad-
kins.

POLITICAL LINEUP
UNCOVERED WHERE
THINGS LOOK ROCKY
(BY FRANK c. GILREATH)

A1LA4NlA A, Gd., Dec. lS.-OQe OF the
most interesting inside political sto-
ries Of the year has come to light in
Atlanta, and is being enjoyed with
keen relish by those to whom it has
been told. The facts which are here
with published for the first time, are
secured from absolutely reliable
sources.
On the night before the adjourn
ment of the recent extra session /
the legislature, caucus was held in
we'll known Atlanta hotel by the OPP
ponents of the prohibition bills, and
at this caucus complete program was
mapped out to oppose the men sup
porting the bills, from Governor Har-
ris down to the last man on the roll
call of the house and senate.
Some of the leading men in state
politics were present, some of the
most astute advisers of the liquor in
terests in the United States were there
t. give counsel, and the caucus was
presided over by a paid agent of the
liquor interests who looks after
things in Georgia"
The plan agreed upon to defeat Gov
ernor Harris, should be stand for re-
election, was: First, to circulate the
report that his health was very feeble,
keeping him away from the capitol
most of the time; second, to launch a
boom that would bring into the race
a prohibition leader of unquestioned
sincerity and ability, thereby taking
prohibition strength from Governor
Harris; third, to bring out third can
didate who would profess prohibition
but who would in reality have the
full support, financial and otherwise,
of the liquor interests
That the first move is under way is
evidenced by many letters Governor
Harris has received from friends over
the state solicitously inquiring about
his health. Replying to these, he has
stated the simple facts, l. e., that his
health was never better, and he is in
his office every day.
The second and third moves will
develop in the next few days.
Besides opposing the governor ard
prohibition members of the legislature,
it was determined to oppose Congress
man William Schley Howard, of the
Fifth (Atlanta) district, because he
appeared before legislative committees
in advocacy of the prohibition bills 1t
is understood a member of the Fulton
county house delegation was selected
for this role. He is now feeling out
the ground"
Furthermore, it was determined thai
Georgia delegates to the national dem
ccratic convention in 1916 shall OBJ
pose national prohibition as a plat
fern plank.
1t was further determined that the
state executive committee shall fix the
rules of the next state primary so as
to aid the caucus program.
