A Significant Poll.

The Albany Herald says:
The Americas Times-Recorder has
made a comprehensive poll of the
state w':h d view of ascertaining the
true status OF political sentiment with
reference to the senatorial situation
IN a telegram which was sent to ev-
cry newspaper in the state, Editor
Mangum asked these questions: First:
Who IS the most logica! man to oppose
Eardwick? Second; What man is
strongest now against Hardwick?
Thimrd; What is Hardwicl<'s relative
strength?
The Times-Becorder publishes in
its edition OF sunday morning the
replies received from those to whom
the Inquiries were sent. Answers
came from about 10 counties, and
The Times-Recorder summaries them
as showing very conclusiyely the fol-
lowing significant facts:
1hat W. J. Harris is the choice Of
the majority Of the people of the state
for tho United States senate;
That there is a deep and general
aAtl-Hardwick sentiment throughout
the state
That Hardwick is strong only in
certain sections, and that he is los
ing strength everywhere;
That Murphy Gambler has no fol-
lowing about the state, being favors d
only a few localities;
ThaN other prospective candidates

THE LOGICAL MAN.

The Columbus Ledger says
William J, Harris is the man to
beat Thomas w Hardwick in the
coming contest for the United States
Senate, according to a big majority
of the daily and weekly newspapers Of
the state The Americas Times-R
corder has put the question to the
Georgia press with the above results,
Their replies, in answer to tele-
grams from the Americas Times-Re-
corder shows also that there ia
strong anH-Hardwick sentiment In
nearly all parts Of the state stats
4 OF t. kilograms sent by that pa
per, there were ninety-seyen replies
from as many counties, and the poll
thus taken showed, in the opinion OF
these newspapers. that at present
Harwick viii carry less than doz-
en- counties, Gambler not over six or
eight. and Harris the rema~hder. Ey-
cry county site newspaper was wired,
as well as al the dailies.
Replies favorable to Harris ranged
all the way from farthest north Geora
eia to the seacoast scountles. The
Hardwick strength appears in the
Tenth district and in some parts of
north Georgia. Gamblers strength
develops largely in north Georgia,
with orc county in south and one in
west Georgia. In each of the So
called Gambler counties, Harris is
named as second chloe
The above is not surprising to The
Ledger and We can't believe that the
news viii b. entirely new to the av-
erage observant Georgian, who has
been watching the trend Of events.
That Harris is in hearty accord with
wilson and the administration in the
conduct Of the war. as well as il other
~atters, has been most striiagly
demonstrated by his official acts. and

in order that pro-Germanishm may re-
eeive an Overwhelming blow in the
coming election which may count in

 SUPERINTENDENT
We'll Known Rubber Expert Comes to Atlanta to Take Charge of Big New

Announcement has been made by pr. N. c. Doss, president of the Doss Rub Der and Tube company of Atlanta, of the selection of G. J. Reuter-, a well-known rubber expert. as superintendent of the new Doss factory being built opposite Fort McPherson.
 Mir. Reuter- will have complete charge of the mechanical departments at the local plant and all of the companys products will be manufactured under his direction.
 During his q years service with fac tories throughout the United States, Mir. Reuter- established a very successful rec ord as a rubber expert.

and individual pursuits, but also helped owners to become more compe- tent in the handling and care of their motor cars.
 The automobile sections of the news papers are looked upon as feature sections, not only by prospective buy CTS of automobiles who want to be- come motor wise. before investing their money, but also that ever widening circle of people who are not as yet in position to make the some day owning car.
 It is due to these automobile sec tions that the average layman grad ually becomes interested in automo- piles. With the automobile proving of general interest to the nonowner. he has familiarized himself with the many technicalties of chassis con struction. power plant features, and < body designs, to a surprising degree This has been one of the results of the newspapers presenting techHical points in such a way that they are understood by the average reader
 ITO my mind this is an excellent example of not only the power and scope of the service rendered by news CTS have the courage of their convic- tions, and how, when they see an o.n,oAtuliitv to benefit their readers. they let nothing stand in the way of performing such public service.

NEW LIBERTY SIX
 0|L-CUP EQUIPPED

My ennity to the grease cup dates
 back to an incident that occurred dur
 ing my early automobile experience,
 answered R. E,/Cole. chief engineer of the Liberty Motor Car company of De-
 troit, in response to a chance remark on
 the subject.
 T had always thought that grease
 cups were a nuisance and this feeling
 was intensified about the time the cups
 on my car needed refilling. As rule,
 neglected to turn them down when I
 should. Turning them down. you know,
 not only meant that might soil my
 clothes. but that the cups would have to
 be refilled just that much sooner. When
 I did have a season of conscientiousness.
 tended them with such regularity that the threads often wore rapidly. and then I might turn all I pleased without any of the grease reaching the place it was intended to lubricate.
 "On car formerly drove, there was a particularly obstinate grease cup on the front axle steering spindle. Noticing 1 that it needed filling. I attempted to TO plenish It's supply of grease one day with | out changing my apparel. As usual, the 1 cap refused to turn. I rapidly exhausted l both my time and my patience, and final ! ly in desperation, attempted to force
 1t with a small pipe wrench. gave a determined twist, the cup flew of one way and the pipe wrench another, but both contrived to strike mo in such a
 manner as to thoroughly anoint my
 clothing with grease. I fell backward, striking my elbow on the wheel rim and my head on the concrete floor of the
 garage And right then and there de-
 clared war on the grease cup.
 l "On the Liberty Six, which I had the I honor to design, you will observe that l oil cups are used wherever possible They l entirely do away with the annoyance which invariably results from an at ! tempt to fill the obsolete grease cup. Be- cause they require so little attention and may be given that little attention so | easily. the driver is far less likely to | neglect them, and thus cause parts to | suffer from a lack of fabrication. Be- sides. oil cups are much more effective, l do not clog up, distribute the lubricant readily and thoroughly and save time and temper They constitute one of the features which have been incorporated | in Liberty motor cars for tho convent ence and comfort of the owner, whose 1 interests were kept foremost in mind in the designing of this car
 l This car is on display by the De Shazo Motor company. They will be glad to give complete explanation and demonstration.

In this programme the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company has been one of the recognized leaders. That motorists might derive the greatest mileage from their tires, this company introduced the dealer service idea. So that now motorists are not only able to purchase better tires than formerly, but are informed along tire conservation lines. Advice on tire Imitation. detection of stone bruises, tread euts and other tire ailments-all these the tire buyer receives when purchasing tire.
 But the building of miles Into tires koes even beyond that. Often tire ills are beyond hope of cure by the owner, and an appeal to the tire repairman is necessary. And the far-seeing repairman does more than repair the tire that is brought to him-he inspects the other three tires for impending trouble. This is his service.
 In the manufacture of proper repair materials the need of vulcanzers are kept well in mind. The every day prob lems of the repairman are being dupli- cated at the factory constantly testing put the materials thoroughly before they are permitted to go out to the users.

To Make Shoes Last Longer

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 When your shoe leather gets dry or hard, you should oil or grease it. To do this, first brush off all mud and then wash the shoe in warm water. drying it with a soft cloth.
 While the shoe is still wet. apply the oil or grease, rubbing it in with swah of wool, or better still, with the palm of the hand. After treatment, the shoes should be left to dry in a warm but not in hot place. Castor oil Is recom- mended for shoes that are to be polished. For palmer footgear, fish oil and oleine or any one of the less expensive oils may be substituted with very good re- Sults

FEDERAL TRUCKS
 GUST LOCOMOTIVES
 SAYS DON DRENNEN
Tennessee Co.,, and Two Other Large Roads of Are Using Fleets of Them to
 Advantage, Is Claim

The railroads have found a valuable ally in the motor truck and have be- gun to make great use of it.
 Don Drennen, president of the Birming- ham Motor company tells of a number of instances where Federal trucks are aid ing the railroads to meet the present heavy demands made upon them.
 T believe the most significant outcome of the rail congestion of the last two years is the recognition now given by the railroads to the motor truck" said MT. Drennen. "We have information of several railroads that are using Federal trucks to advantage.
 "One railroad-the Boston and Albany actually has released locomotive for general railroad service by the use of a the Boston and Albany general store keeper at West Springfield Mass, who says that the work of the Federal in carrying supplies from Springfield to West Springfield has done away with the use of locomotive for this work. He also tells of other wide uses to which the truck is put.
 TENNESSEE COMPANY The San Diego and Southeastern rail- way. in California, has a number of Federals which are used as feeders for the road, taking the place of short rail road branches from the main line tc nearby villages and towns. The Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has 10 Federals in use in and near Bir-
 mngham, which haul food products tc and from it's railway terminals
 The work has begun and l believe il will grow enormously and save very large sums for the railroads. Especially believe this will be true of railroads that now have the expense of running trains regularly over little used branch lines at loss. Motor trucks would give them better service and more ire quent service at far less cost.
 Federal trucks are used in stage line service in communities that the railroads have neglected and have proven theii worth and their ability to stand up un- der all sorts of weather conditions. T may be expressing views too opti- mistic to meet the approval of the mos conservative but I nevertheless believe that the fields in which motor truck, will serve generally inside a few year: | now have been barely touched

Home Portraiture for Snakes

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 Photographing snakes in their native retreats is a sport often overlooked by the camera enthusiast It not only re- quires a high degree of courage on the part of the photographer to approach his quarry, but much time and patience must be expended before the snake as sumes a position that can be readily caught by the camera. It goes without saying that photographing poisonous snakes, such as copperheads, water moe casins and rattlesnakes, should not be undertaken by a novice, unless he be sc- companied by person familiar with the abits of such snakes.
 However, it is just as much sport pho tographing harmless snakes. In the first place, you must know where to look for them, and secondly. having found them you must wait patiently until they get in interesting poses, Water snakes make good subjects.
