Georgia has taken the proper step
to combat illiteracy. At the recent
session of the Georgia legislature
a law was enacted ior compulsory
elucation, and since education is
the only weapon by which illiteracy
can be dispelled, compulsory .edu
cation is the only cure for it. The
action of Georgia is very differei t
from Mississippi. and is practical

ALBA Iowa.-Genevieve, veteran
mule at Hooking mine No. 4, in at
tempting to satisfy her hunger blew
up the mine.
Genevieve had just been released
from duty and was passing one OF a
string of cars containing powder and
dynamite. The mule saw wisp or
hay sticking out of the end of one
of the cars and she thrust her Roman
nose forcibly against the car in OBJ
tanning the bits of hay. In doing so
she set the car in motion, and it set
others going.
The whole string of ten cars, ex-
plosives and all, plunged down the
mine way and crashed down an open
shaft. When they hit the bottom
a terrific explosion followed. The
mine was badly wrecked.

LIEVED LIKELY CANDIDATES

LATTER is A SOUTH GEORGIAN

DIR. Hartman and Governor Harris
Will Fill Out Entry List. Contest
Likely to Prove One of Most Inter

North Georgia politicians are look
ing for four-cornered race for gov
ernor. There is a decided conviction
Just now that the next announcement
will come from A. o. Blalcck, col
lector of iternal revenue, who has
long been a Hoke Smith supporter
and whose friends believe he can line
up that following.
The fourth announcement, it is be-
lieved, will come from Judge w. h.
Thomas, of Valdosta. Judge Thomas
friends report that he has the matter
under consideration, and that he may
be expected to get into the race.
South Georgia Man.
Inasmuch as there is going to be a
fight over the governorship this year
Immediately following Governor Har-
ris first term the South Georgia talk
is getting stronger than ever. There
are Atlantans who believe and feel
that Judge Thomas would make an
ideal South Georgia candidate, both
from the standpoint of record and To-
cation. He is a real South Georgian,
located right on the Florida line, and
in a section which Yields widespread
and important political influence
throughout the state.
It looks very much as if this line
up will eliminate other candidates
and that the race will be fought out
between either these four or three of
them.
1t has been a long time since Geor-
gia has had a four-cornered race for
governor, and where there is a wide
division of the vote in a race of this
sort it is a difficult matter to tell who
the people really want. The usual
Georgia race has been between two
candidates and sometimes three. If
there should be four in the race this
year it will be out of the ordinary
and will prove one of the most inter
esting political contests the state has
had in many years.
DR.. L. G. Hardman entered the
