NEW WHITE WAY PROTECTOR.
City Commissioner StanfieId Has Or
nament to Save Globes.

Wilbur Stanfield. commissioner of
water and light. has invented a device
to place on the white way" poles
both as a guard to the globes and as
an ornament. If Topekans regard the
device favorably. it will be installed
on every white way pole in town
During the last big windstorm near
ly 500 worth of globes were broken.
The globes are hard to obtain, and
have raised in price. At this rate
there is also danger of the insurance
companies raising their rates or ter
minating their policies. Stanfield said.
Insurance on the white way" globes
costs the city 1863 a year.
Stanfield's invention, while it gives
the globes protection. also serves orna-
mental purposes. The globes can be
removed or replaced without taking
the protector from the pole. The cost
of installation is nominal and. accord
ing to Stanfield, the device will give
the globes such protection that it will
be unnecessary to insure them.

$4,000 in Rain
Insurance Taken Out
BvSoutheastern Fair

Rain insurance is something new
In this section, but the Southeastern
Fair association has taken this meth
cd of protecting itself against tinan-
cial loss because Of inclement wealth
er conditions. The fair is insured
against rain by a policy which cost
$4,000 and which will give the assoc
clation minimum receipts of $4,000
fer the ten-day exposition.
For the last t VI years the fair re-
cclpts have been more or less cut
down by rainy weather and this year
the management decided to prevent
any such occurrence. Sc policy
was taken out a 81 LIST rain. It pro.
ides thai if there 3 two-fifths of
an inch of precipitation during the
air and if the minimum receipts
from all sources @all below $15O,OOO
tie insurance company will make
good the difference if the receipts
go over $4,000 the fair gets MOTH
ing from the insurance company,
which is better off by $4,000, the cost
OF the policy.
1t is estimated that it will cost
S150,000 to stage the fair for the full
ten days, including the premium
awards and racing purses, not to
mention the innumerable minor ex-
penses connected with the exposition.
Thus far the weather has been as
fine as could be desired, but sudden
changes may occur any day and for
this reason the insurance policy was
taken out,

ALL NOMINEES
OF DEMOCRATS
ONG.O.P. BALLOT

That the Republican state central
committee of Georgia has placed on
the official Republican ballot for the
forthcoming general election the
| name of every Democratic nominee
for a state office, was the surprising
fact called sto the attention of vari-
Gus Of these nominees on Thursday
The only difference between the
Republican ballot and the Demo-
cratic ballot will be in the list of
presidential electors. 1t will there
fore be comparatively easy for a
Democrat to vote Republican ballot
by mistake. If he examines only the
list Of nominees for state house of
fees, he will find them to be Demo.
cratic throughout the Republican bal
lot. But if he examines the list of
presidential electors he will find them
to be Republican.
The list of presidential electors is
printed at the top Of each ballot.
The headline. or caption, at the top
of the Republican ballot will be:
Official Republican Ballot" The
headline, Or caption, at the top Of the
Democratic ballot will be: Official
Democratic Ballot" Immediately I'M
der this caption is the list of presi-
Dental electors, and below that the
list of nominees for state offices. Be-
ginning with these nominees, the two
ballots are practically the same.
Thomas E. Watson's name heads
the list Of Democratic nominees, and
with it is the name of Harry Still
well Edwards. Just why the Repub-
ilcan state central committee should
put the names of two nominees on
their ticket is not clear. Mr.. Watson
has announced in his paper that he
did not authorize the printing of his
name on the ballots, but on the con-
trary requested C.. P. Goree, Atlanta
lawyer and Republican leader, to
leave it off. Mr.. Edwards has recent
ly announced that he is not running
as a Republican candidate, but as
an independent candidate faVoring
the League of Nations. G. H. w il
liams, the regular Republican nomi-
nee for the senate, recently withdrew
Watson's opposition to the league in
any form conceded with his position,
and it was therefore unnecessary for
him to run.
Then comes the list OF nominees
for state offices. and the Republicans
have taken the Democratic list and
bodily printed 1t on their ballot, be-
ginning with Thomas w. Hardwick
for governor, running through the
various state house officers, and fin
fishing with the Democratic nominees
for superior court judges and solicit
tors general
Colonel William A. Wright, Demo
cratic nominee for comptroller gen.
eral, said the use of his name was
without his knowledge, consent or APP
prevail. S. G. McLendon, nominee
for secretary of state, said the same.
So did w. A. Speer, nominee for state
treasurer, and others.
Mr.. Hardwick said the Republicans
had not asked his permission to put
his name on their ticket, and he
would have declined If they had. He
said he did not object to any individ-
ual voting for him in the general
election, but he was not accepting
any support from the Republican
party as a party.

Atlanta Merchant Has
Been Missing for
Four DAYS; No Clues

The police Thursday were conduct
ing a search for Frank F. Roberts,
thirty-seven years old, of 35S East
Georgia avenue and the proprietor

pose of depositing the receipts of the
previous Saturdays business.
When seen at her home Thursday
morning Mrs. Roberts declared that
she was unable to advance any rea-
son for the disappearance of her hus-
band. "E1e was model man, never
did leave the city without saying
where he was going" said Mrs. Rob-
erts.
II fear that he has met with foul
play or that he has become tempor-
and with the hard work occasioned
by his business, it is possible that
which has affected his mind.
'He left home last Monday ap-
parent!y in the best of spirits, and
after kissing the children goodbye,
stated he would try to return home
early Monday night. When he failed
to return, l began an investigation,
and found that he had not been at
his store since about 9 o'clock Mon
day morning.
Every night now, our two chill
dren, Frank, Jr., and Helen cry for
their daddy and want to know where
he isl
At Mr.. Roberts store it was stat
ed that no reason could be given
for his disappearance. None of the
clerks were able to state exactly how
much money Mr.. Roberts had at the
time he left the store, but they de-
clare that it was large sum.
He left here to go to the bank,
and said he would return soon" one
of the clerks stated. when he fail
ed to return Tuesday, we went to
the bank, and found out that he had
not been there and had made no de-
post Monday"
