made no definite announcement; OF
his intentions it is known that he IS
seriously considering entering the
race at the proper time. DR. BUSH
realizes that an announcement of his
candidacy at this time would be pre-
mature as the Democratic primary

of John T. Bouluillet of Macon. A

{ VISITED a Battleship, I and Ke-

Yes, it was the Flagship of the Fiee..
and it bare upon its 1urreJs 4 great

Excellent in craftsmanship, and upon

meant Excellent in Engineering.
And the Captain treated me
kindly, and spake courteously unto
Keturah, and we sat down in his
Cabin and held converse one with
another.
Likewise the Admiral, when he
knew that we were on board, sent
for us, and we sat down with him
in his Cabin.
And we. drank Tea, and there was
nothing that we desired that was
not done unto us.
And the Ship had Great Guns, and
twelve Of them carried shells that
were almost CubiJ in Diameter
And the Captain permitted me to
point one Of the Great Guns, and to
turn it on its AXIS, and to raise iii
and to lower it. And it was very
easy. Likewise did I look through .

OBSERVATIONS


1t all comes out in the hash.
War never pays; but it collects.
Business falls before the charge
of the railroads.
Knickerbockers' is singular; they
look that way.
There's not much use in smiling if
you don't brush your teeth.
This is the age of the specialists:
especially nerve specialists.
Many movie actors cant afford a

Some wives stay broke because
their husbands get up first.

He was a member Of the State Demo

the years 1916-20. He is d graduate
Of the Augusta Medical college and
is well qualified to fill the office. he
Is extensively acquainted throughout
the state and it is certain that should
he definitely decide to enter the race
that he viii receive strong support
from all parts of the state
DR.. Bush in discussing his prob
able candidacy called attention to the
fact that South Georgia has no repre-
sentation on the Railroad commission
and as for that matter has never lad.
The present commission is composed
Of two members from Northeast
Georgia, one from Middle Georgia
and the other two reside in North
Georgia, He feels, as does many 9th
er citizens of this section of the state.
that South Georgia is entitled TO at
least one commissioner, not only from
a standpoint of protecting its inter-
ests, but from standpoint Of fair
ness and justice to all sections of the
state.
DR.. Bush feels that if he can Sc
cure the support of the voters of
South Georgia, and confidently be
lieves he can, that the voters of DIR
er sections Of the state will readily
assume that South Georgia is entitled
to at least one representative on the
commission and that it would be com
raratively easy to secure The pomina-

date TO make known w..ether he will

Against Several Rival

Denver, Colo, Dec. 24.--Charg-
ing rival insurance companies and
individuals with having entered
into a combination to wreck the
Mountain States Life Insurance
company, suit was filed here today
in the district court demanding
total damages Of $450.OOO and an
injunction against those named in
the complaint.
1t is alleged that the defendants
have verbally and otherwise pub
lished and spread defamatory
statements concerning the Noun
tain States company.
Those named in the suit are:
The Union Central Life Insur-
ance company, the Mutual d.ife In
surance company, the Pacific Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of

While the summons is for $3.50

actual damages and $250,000 ex-
emplary damages, making n total
of 100000 If the full relief asked
for is granted, while the third
cause OF action asks the defendants
be enjoined from further spreading

The suit IS the outcome Of con-
troversy which arose when the

ALVAT|OM ARMY
WILL SEND FOOD
TO POOR TODAY
More Than a Quarter of a
Million Dollars win Be
Expended on Xmas Din
ners in Fifteen States.
(By The Associated Press.l

Chicago, Dec. 24,-Mcre than a
quarter OF million dollars is to be
spent by the Salvation army in fif-
teen states known as the central
territory, to provide Christmas din
ner baskets for the poor, according
to an advance estimate made today
at the territorial headquarters here
by Commissioner William Peart
Tho estimate is based on adj
vance reports from ten cities near
Chicago and does not include the
money to be spent for candy, toys,
fuel and clothing, the total of which
will probably exceed that to be
spent for the baskets. 1t is esti-
mated that the total expenditure of
the organization for all usual
Christmas purposes will run very
close to the million dollar mark.
Towns making advance reports
were Ottawa, Streator, Rockford,
Joliet, Aurora Belvidere, East Chi
cago, Hammond, Mishawaka and
Gary Salvation army officers in
these places estimate total of
1900 Christmas dinner baskets at
an approximate average cost OF
So each.
The central territory comprises
303 salvation army corps, located
in Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Alabama,
Texas and Louisiana. Each of these
corps will be the center for basket
distribution and will provide a
grand total of not less than $4,000
baskets. each OF which will contain
a Christmas dinner for not less
than five persons.
In addition to these, the eighteen
mems industrial homes in the ter
ritory will provide Christmas din
ners for approximately $500 un-
fortunate men who find shelter and
the means of sustenance beneath
their hospital roofs.
Nine rescue and maternity homes,
affording refuge to some 450 un-
mothers and wayward, girls
will expend considerable sum for
Christmas cheer, both for those
now In the homes and for thousands
of "outside girls" who have passed
through the institutions to- self re-
spect and self support on the cut
side.

George and his mother told
