with the usual doubts. He felt that it

the wrings at dress rehearsal, very
proud and confident, in irritating

gloomy manager. One of the stage
hands was a person of peculiar as

the author asked. "Who Is that
trange-looking fellow"
That" said the manager. "Thst's
an Eskimo"
why in the world an Eskimo?'
asked the author.

SEAT IN SENATE
GOES TO GEORGE

Atlanta, Oct. 17.-With 26 coun-
ties yet to be heard from in today's
special senatorial primary, the nomi-
nation of Judge Walter F. George OF
Vienna to succeed the late United
State senator, Thomas E. Watson,
was virtually assured, according to
incomplete unofficial returns COM
piled tonight by the Atlanta Con-
stitution.
Judge George had a decisive ma
jority of 250 county unit votes or Al
more than the 2O9 necessary for
nomination, the Constitutions re-
turns showed, and Of the 1876 coun-
ties tabulated he had carried 104 as
compared with "a for Gov. Thomas
W. Hardwick, who was credited with
96 county unit votes.
Seaborn Wright of Rome was run
ming a poor third. He carried his
home county of Floyd and five
others, which gave him a total of 20
unit votes.
John R. Cooper of Macon had not
carried a single county, according to
The Constitutions figures.
The Constitutions returns indicat-
ed that Maj. C. E. McGregor of War
renton had won the nomination over
his four opponents in the race for
state pension commissioner to sue
ced the late Judge John W. Lind
sey.
Nomination in a Democratic pri-
mary in Georgia is considered as
equivalent to election, and it is
thought certain that the nomination
will be confirmed in the regular elec-
ton on November Z.

An old Irishman was struggling
along the high road with a heavy
bundle when friend passed in a cart.
It was a hot day, so the friend think
ing Pat would be glad OF lift, said:

delighted and after climbing up,
rested his bundle carefully on his
knee.
Put your bundle on the seat, +"
and his friend.
"Oh, no." Pat answered. Since
