LOTTERY USED
BY MISSIONARIES
To GUST OPIUM
(By Associated Press.l

PEKING, August 14.-In and around
the coast provinces of China, the sup
preston of opium traffic by the Chin
ese Government officials has been eff
fected so thoroughly that the opium
dealers are fiocking in increasing
numbers under the protection of the
foreign settlement in Shanghai, bus
even there the dealers are finding their
activities restricted. The missionary
element and other reformers have hit
upon rather novel campaign for sup
preston by lottery. The taxpayers in
Shanghai voted in favor of the scheme
and lottery or drawing was recently
held for the purpose of selecting out o.
the $50 opium dealers in the territory
145 who should give up the opium bus
mess.
The North China News, describing
the drawing says:
THE drawing was conducted on a
plaform, and the people, whose for
tunes were temporarily or permanent
ly at stake stood earnestly scrutiniz-
ing every move in the procedure.
Great care was, of course, taken to
ensure accuracy in drawing and re-
cording numbers, and the Chinese who
held up the ball as it came from the
machine was careful to let it be seen
between his thumb and finger, and to
: have his long sleeves well rolled back
The proceedings were conducted with
out a hitch, the drawing being CO.
pleted within an hour"

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 14.-Physicians
who examined the body of Stewart
Floyd Foster, the former University of
Georgia athletic star, who was shot
and killed by Nick Johnson, declare
that he must have had the most re-
markable nerve that they have ever
encountered, to have done what he did
after he was shot
Foster was struck twice. The first
bullet which was the fatal one enter
ed his left breast, narrowly missed tn
heart, took downward course, going
all the way through his body and com
ing out at the left hip. The second
bullet wounded him only slightly in
the left shoulder.
Fatally wounded, and shot through
and through, Foster grappled with the
man who had shot him and oyerpow-
cred him, actually taking the pistol
away from him. Then, it is said, Nick
Johnson got down on his knees and
begged Foster not to shoot him. al
which Foster calmly replied that he
wouldn't be coward enough to shoot
an unarmed man.
Foster retained complete conscious
ness until he died several hours later
in the hospital here.

GOVERNOR MAKES
No |NT|MAT|ON As
To EXTRA SESSION
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


ATLANTA. Ga, Aug. 14.-Governor
Nat E. Harris has announced no decis
ion in regard to an extra session OF
the legislature. The entire affair is,
clouded with the various factions en-
deavoring to gain their points.
State Treasurer Speer has announc-
ed plan of financing an extra session
by borrowing the oney from some pri
vate party who is admittide to be a
friends of prohibition.
Governor Harris fears to call an ex-
ira session at an early date because OF
the probability of it's being a long
drawn out affair. Should the session
be called after December list, the state
will have derived enough funds from
the objection of taxes to finance the
lawmaking body.
it is by no means certain what meas
ures the governor will embody in his
proclamation, the ain fact being as
sured that the W. & A. will come in for
a part of the deliberations. But the
appropriation bill is mainly the reason
for an extra call, should it come.

a socialistic student it is questionable
whether any of the twO-week vaca-

wage-earners employed in State
street department stores benefits the
mind and body. The pace is so fast
for the other fifty weeks in the year
the driving of the egOtisticaI, if not

must do another's work in connection

want to take the liberty Of cOngrat-

ference to people buying the Exam
iner and American since the memoir
able strike of a few years ago. Are
we. so soon forgotten when we are
gone? The Day Book through your
splendid management has proved to
be the friend Of the poor people. The
Examiner and the American have
fooled the poor in making them be-
Ieve that they were. The newspaper
strike surely showed where they
stood, the enemy Of the poorer
classes and the tool Of the rich. The
Exam. and the American lost a great
slice in their circulation about that
time, but since then have recovered
somewhat, but at a great expense.
Offering of prizes for subscribers has
Iured many back to reading these
papers again. Giving $4,000 in gold
away. houses and lots and other such
Turing and valuable prizes has help
ed. Next thing they will resort to is
selling fish or peanuts to keep up
their greatly declining circulation.
The way of the transgressor is hard.
Mr.. Editor, admire you and your
book because you tell the truth, and
will always be a booster along that
line. l. i
