PAYMENT OF THE LOSS.
In the death of anyone who earns
more than he consumes there is a
direct money loss. How shall this loss
be met? 1t may be metein one of two
ways; First: By life insurance COM
pany if the deceased has been
thoughtful enough to have taken in
surance on his life. Second: BY his
family if there was no insurance. If
met by his family, often times it is
(1) through a lower standard of liv-
ing; or (2) through denial of educa-
tional advantages to the children; or
(3) through increased toll by the
widow and daughters; or (4) possibly
through charity. ~
Is it not much better TO meet the
loss through insurance?

of the German pledges to the United
States.
Nevertheless the first reports, in
complete and transmitted by the
American consul 'as provisional" !"
caused some uneasiness.
The report on the destruction of
the Marina refers to the ship as "a
British horse transport" If it turns
out that it was, in fact, in the trans
port service Of the British government
it may be found that the mixed crew
of British and American horse tend
ers could claim none Of the immunity
against attack without warning that
attaches to a merchant ship.
Orders we're dispatched at once to
gather all information to determine
the status Of the Marina and its crew,
Although no American lives were
lost in the attack on the Rowanmore
and the ship altered its own status

ficials were disturbed by the report
that the boats were shelled after they
had cleared from the abandoned ship.
The facts are expected to be deter
mined by investigation, which was or

British Horse Transport '
The following is a summary Of
Consul Frost's dispatch:
The British horse transport Marina,
with mixed crew of British and
Americans was reported sunk
without warning by a German SUBJ
marine gun fire at 3 p. m. October 28,
100 miles west Of Cape Clear, in an
official report received at the State
department today from Consul Frost
at Queenstown. Thirty-four OF the
crew Of l04 have been landed at Crook
Haven, while seventy others, presum-
ably those in boats and 3, are miss
ing. Consul Frost says his informa-
tion so far Is purely provisional
Life Boats Fired Upon
Survivors Of the British freighter
Rowanmors, sunk by submarine
after nearly an hours chase, were
shelled after they had taken TO their
boats, according to another official
dispatch from Consul Frost. No
casualties were reported.
The freighter was bound from Bal
timorc to Liverpool with a mixed
cargo and was attacked by the sub
marine on the 2Sth, fourteen miles
southeast of Cape Clear, and after
fifty minutes attempt to escape had
its steering gear shot away There
upon 1t stopped, the report says, and
sighalled that it was abandoning ship
The submarine shelled the boats after
they had cleared the ship. The ves-
sci was torpcdoed at ll:S0, sinking at

No Change Of sentiment.

Nothing has happened since 1912
to change sentiment In these states In
favor Of Mr.. Wilson and the demo-
cratic party. On the contrary, much
has occurred to increase the feeling
against him. The democratic man
ayers are loudly claiming that Mr..
Wilson's obvious courtship of the Ia
Dor vote will be reflected in the re-
turns. ! do not believe It. The labor
vote of this country is not class vote
and cannot be delivered in bulk. And
for every vote that Mr.. Wilson wins
by such methods he will find that he
has alienated at least one other vote
from the laboring men, who are not
caught by his schemes, to say nothing
Of the Independent voters he has lost
by those methods. | repeat, this coun-
try is republican, and il is going to
elect republican administration and
congress next week. Every test that
has been made and every count that
has been had shows the result. Charles
Evans Hughes will succeed Woodrow
Wilson as president on next inaugura-
ton day."

MACON, Sept 26.-The keynote
speech by permanent ChairmanJ. j.
Flynt, of Griffin, enthusiastically en-
dorsfng President Wilson and the Will
son administration, featured this
mornings session of the state demo-
cratic convention here Much enthus-
iesm was aroused by every reference
to Wilson, and the outburst of ap-
plause when Chairman Flynt con-
cluded his address was sustained and
continued.
Circulars distributed among the del
egates and upon the floor of the con-
vention, demanded the Reputation of
President Wilson and the federal ad-
ministration, but these had little eff
feet The authorship of the circu-
lars was attributed to Thomas E. Wat
sen, and they included a protest
against the trial of Watson outside of
Georgia on charges of sending OBJ
scene matter through the moils.
The platform, practically completed
at noon includes an endorsement of
President Wilson and the national
democratic administration, though its
yerbage has not yet been announced.
Nominations for various state offices
will be made this afternoon, and a
big fight is in prospect when nomina-
tions are made for justice of the su-
preme court to succeed JUS
tice J. H. Lumpkin, who died recently,
and for the recently created places on
the court of appeals bench.

DORSEY WILL Be NAMED UNANIMOUSLY BY
CONVENTION; Big FIGHT OVER JUDGESHLP
(BY CRANSTON WILLIAMS J

MACON, Ca, Sept. 26.-The demo-
cratic state convention recessed this
afternoon after the roll call on the
court of appeals judgeships, with the
convention count standing close
to the way the counties voted in the
primary. There was much wrangling
among the Dorsey delegates over the
supreme court nomination, for which
Judge Price Gilbert is being solidly
supported by the Harris delegates,
while divided sentiment among the
Dorsey men as to the nomination of
Judge Frank Harwell, of LaGrance.
The second roll call on the nomina-
tions for judges of the court of ap-
peals began about 9 o'clock and at this
hour it is indicated that Hutcheson and
George will me nominated. Who the
third nominee for one of these places
is matter of much speculation the
fate Of all candidates apparently hang,
ing in the balances.

FUGITIVE CIRCUIT

v1d B. Overton, former circuit clerk of
Madison county, Alabama, and wanted
in connection with the alleged murder
of Probate Judge w. T. Lawler, at
Huntsville, June 14th, 1916, was ar
rested today at Smithville, Tenn, by

Circuit Solicitor Joseph Tate. John

list, is said to have witnessed the ar
rest.

was found in slough near Hunts

MACON, Ga, Sept. Although
this is written several hours before the
convention will be called to order at
10 O'Clock Tuesday morning, story of
what is going the rounds on the night
hefore the convention would not be
amiss. This story bears no ear-marks
cf what will happen-but what is ex>
pected TO happen.
This story predicts that ]. R. Smith,
of Atlanta, will be temporary chair>
man of the convention. Mr.. Smith is
well known TO Georgia politics as the
man who managed the campaign when
Little Joe" Brown won over Hoke
Smith for governor in 1908. He bears
the record of being on the winning
side in every gubernatorial campaign
which he has entered. Mr.. Smith is
also a strong Woodrow Wilson, and
by his selection as temporary chair
man the wiseacres say that the first
slap for Thomas E. Watson is here.
This story next predicts that ]. j.
Fynt, of spalding county, will be per-
manent chairman of the convention,
and by virtue of that Office he will be
ex-officio chairman of the state exec
utive committee. Mr.. Flynt is a for
mer president of the state senate, and
Ids selection on the SLATE" as perma-
nent chairman was a surprise in the
old-line political circles.
Let us tell you right here what a
peculiar sensation swept the old-line
politicians when they saw the rank and
file of the delegates. Never in Geor-
gia's history has there been so many
new faces to represent their counties
in the convention. The oldest politi-
clan is at loss to recognize a bare
number of the accredited delegates
for there is new era in Georgia
politics if the representatives at this
convention are to be taken as pointer.
Of course, this is readily explained by
the people who supported Dorsey as
being the folks back in the country
who had never done anything hereto
fore than vote.

The struggle is to see who will eat
the chicken supper, or the herring sup
per on Thursday night at o'clock. The
points are counted by applicants for
membership, and by dollars paid in
cash. Each application counts one
point, while each dollar counts as ten
points. The team scoring the smaller
rumber of points will eat the herring
supper on Thursday night.
The campaign IS one for membership,
and the money will be used for the
general operating expenses of the as
sociation. Mr.. Bell, the new secretary
physical director, made a few closing
remarks announcing the gymnasium
nd game schedule, and stating that the
classes in the departments would open
Lext week.
The prospects for the work are
better than they have been for some
time. 1t does not require large num-

in Americus, and it was the opinion of
those at the meeting last night that
the desired number would be reached

ccme.
Combles, village of two thousand
Inhabitants had been rendered Of
small strategic value to the Allies by
their long encircling movements, be-
fore its final capture today. but it has
been of notable value to the Germans,
because as long as the Teutons were
able to cling to the village Franco
British freedom of action in pushing
their combined offensive movement to-
ward Bapaume and Peronne on either
side of it was greatly hampered.
Efforts to blast the Germans defend
ers out of Combles have been both Sc
we're and costly, and the village was
taken from the Teutons only after it
had been almost surrounded. Only
two roads remained in condition to
move troops when the Germans were
forced to retreat, the British on yester-
day having cut the northerly road, and
French troops obstructing the other.
