WHY

The Times Recorder has a qUeStio,
for John r. Cooper, of Macon:
Do you really think you will carry
single county for the United States
Senate?
Also query for W. D. Upshaw:
Do you honestly believe even one
militia district will give you its pref
erence as candidate for the United
States Senate?
And likewise an inquiry for Emmett
Shaw
Don't you know that you haven't the
slightest possible chance of being elect
cd United States Senator?
Why then, are you gentlemen max
irg bold to offer yourselves as candi-
dates
What demand has there been for
either of you to announce? Where did
it come from?
Don't all of you know, as matter
Of fact, that, with the solitary excep-
tons of Mr.. Shaw, you have no polit-
ical strength whatsoever, and that Mr..
Shaw's personal following is limited to
restricted area2
Why persist in a foolish enterprise
that is bound to cost you energy and
money as well as time, and in the end
will be humiliating to you and to your
real friends?
Don't all of you know that your re-
spectiye candidates." are facetiously
regarded by almost the entire press of
the state? Won't you concede that
even the professional politicians treat
you all lightly and contemptuously?
Isn't it true that none of you can
present any proof of special qualifica-
tions for the office of United States
Senator?
Are you running just to advertise
yourselves?
Are you running as aiders and COM
forters of the junior senator who has
made his state hang her head in
shame?
Don't you know that his only posi-
BILE chance of reelection is a crowd
ed field?
When it is so palpable to you-as it
must be, and as it is to everybody
else-that together your political
strength is like chaff before the wind,
why will you run the risk of further
hamiliating your state by doing some
thing that might rebound to the bene-
fit of the man whom, according to
your protestations, you want to de-
feat?
Why, gentlemen, oh. why-and we
ask this in all sincerity, and sympa-
thetically-why do you persist in this
foolish endeavor?
Why, if you really want to be of
service to your state, why don't you
get out and work for W. ]. Harris, the
strongest and only logical candidate,
and the only candidate the loyal peo-
pie are genuinely considering as the
successor Of the present junior sena-
tor?

DR.. CHAPMAN IS
DENIED new TRIAL
SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN
DECISION IN THE FAMOUS
WADE MURDER CASE.

Friday the state supreme court
wrote the final chapter in the cases of
DR.. Charles K. Chapman and Warren
l. Johnson, convicted in Americas of
the murder of Walter Wade, and
recommended to mercy.
In the indictment DR.. Chapman,
his son, c. K. Chapman, jr., War
rem /. Johnson, H. A. Harp, John
Etheridge and others were named. 1t
was later developed Harp had no con-
nection with the kinning of Wade, and
on trial counsel sought to abate the
indictment on the ground that it was
faulty in that it contained the name
of one man proven not to have been
connected with the murder. The 9TH
er defendants are all out on bond,
having never been tried. One Of
them, Walter johnson, is now in
France.
Perhaps no case in Georgia in re-
cent years attracted such widespread
notice as that resulting from convic-
ton of DR.. Chapman and Warren
johnson. The former was for many
years a prominent dentist, and the
latter was at one time a Macon po-
liceman.
DR.. Chapman will probably be
sent to the state farm to serve his
sentence. He will be the only dentist
in the penitentiary, and his profess
sional services will be needed there
among the inmates.

Was ONLY DREAM
OF LADY DIANA
SHE WHO CLAIMED THE REGAL
BLOOD is NOT WHAT SHE
SEEMED AT ALL.

CHlCAGO.-"Lady Diana Cor
don," she who went to work in a
Chicago one-arm restaurant because
her cruel parent, the Duke of Some
thlng-or-Other, over in Scotland,
wanted her to wed a disagreeable
count or a baronet who ate garlic,
dreamed it all.
Alas, she is still serving hash in the
restaurant in Chicago, and her story
OF her seven relatives lost in the war,
her rights to a coronet, and to be
addressed as your ladyship"-
bunk, pure, imaginative bunk.
Lady Diana, investigation shows,
had been a poor working girl for
years and years, up to the time she
went to the Kankakee, H., insane
asylum, and she fell back upon her
habitual work after she ran away.
Adolph Nieder, of Chicago, and other
members of his family identified
Lady Diana" as Dominic Mckenzie,
who was sent t othe asylum from the
Nieder home on Dec. 81, 1915.
Diana Was Plausible.
Many persons have fallen for
Lady Diana's tales of royal lineage.
Only recently many newspapers
printed stories about her.
She was found under the plain
name of Mrs. E. H. Fleming, in a
lunch room, and she modestly told her
story. Her husband, she said, was in
France. The asylum authorities say
she has failing for husbands, even
as she has for gold stars and titles.
Records show that once she wrote let
tiers to seven men-and called each
"my husband"
At Kankakee the asylum records
have it that her name is really Delzel
Wells and that her mother at that
time lived in London. The hospital
record of the asylum has her, at the
time of her entry, Every laxative but
seemed rational"
Since the reportorial discovery of
Lady Diana of the Seven Gold
Stars" skidding slabs of pie and
shooting pudding, her pathway has
been quite blaze of glory.

ton plan for the American public is
held up. Officials of the food admin
istration are said to believe that in
vestigation will disclose food supplies
which have heretofore not been
available owing to dissension be-
tween the Teutonic allies.
The food program worked out by
the interallied food council, of which
Food Administrator Hoover is a
member, calls upon America to ship
to the allies 17,50O,000 tons of food
stuffs the coming year. With the
necessity of assisting in feeding civil
ians of middle Europe it is roughly
estimated that a minimum of 5,0OO,-
900 tons will have to be added to that
figure, though the ending of the war
necessarily will make possible in
creased production throughout Eu-

The PRICE OF KENTUCKY
WHISKY TAKES A BIG JUTM
Bonded Goods, After Is Months Of
Uncertainty, Rise From IS Cents
to $l.1S Per Gallon.

LOUISVILLE, KY.-After eigh-
teen months of extreme uncertainty
in the whisky market the prices of
bonded goods in Kentucky, the larg-
est straight producing state in
America, have risen 95 cents to $1.15
gallon.
The imminence of complete pro-
hibition, coupled with the belief that
higher taxes may cause a marked de-
crease in consumption, is expected
by large operators to keep prices at
a low level. A few dealers, however,
believe the approach of prohibition
will stimulate demand and bring
higher prices.
There are between thirty and forty
millions of gallons Of whisky avail
able for sale today on which the tax
has been paid. The present tax on
whisky is $500 a proof gallon.
Dealers said they expected the new
$8,000,000,000 revenue bill to pro-
vide a tax of at least double and
probably treble the present rate.

Of Far Reaching Effect.
This announcement is expected to
have far reaching effect in Germany,
where, from all accounts, the food
situation is only little less serious
than In the countries until recently
allied with Germany in the war.
Conditions are represented as partic-
ularly serious in Austria-Hungary,
where food riots have been frequent
and where there had been intense
suffering, not alone from the want of
food but clothing and other neces-
sites.
Food Administrator Hoover is
working out new food conservation

the peoples of the nations that have
been eliminated from the war but
also the liberated populations of Bel
