PUT M. |. JOHNSON, FARMER
ON RAILROAD Commission

Successful farmer and business man,
and one Of long legislative experience,
Mack L. Johnson, Of Barlow, asks the
support of Georgia voters for state
railroad commissioner, in place OF MI
Gambler who is not a candidate.
He stands for square deal for every
person and every interest in Georgia,
and for full control of rates within
the state, by its own commission.
Barlow County's commissioners
unanimously commended his splendid
service to agriculture and the com
mon schools. He fought through, after
four years Of hard effort, the law ex-
ompting farm products from taxation
for one year, while in the producers
hands; and his successful efforts for
the common schools are matters of
Georgia history. He has been devoted
and untiring in his work for Georgia's
Confederate Veterans.
Supt. L. C. Evans of Cartersville's
public schools, tells in Letter of his
giving $500 year for all time to come,
to buy free schools books for Barlow
oounty's needy children.
Railroad Commissioner Boifauil1et
recently wrote of him: HE has splen-
didly represented his immediate con-
stituents in the House of Representa-
tives for many years, admirably served
the whole state Of Georgia, and has
been particularly jealous in watching
after the farming interests OF the COM
monwealth."

Walter r. Mcdonald Candidate
For Railroad Commission

Walter R. Mcdonald, the blind legis-
Iator from Richmond county, is can
dldate for the Railroad Commission OF
Georgia to succeed Hon. G. Murphy
Gambler, who is not offering for re-
election.
At the age of thirteen, a poor boy
on his fathers small farm in Richmond
County, near Augusta, the youngest Oh
seven children, he was suddenly strick-
en- with total blindness. Realizing that
the light Of day had been forever
barred from his vision, the young farm
er boy set out to win an education
and with determination to serve his
state In spite of his handicap Of blind
ness. Having advanced only to the
fourth grade in common school, and
knowing that his family was unable to
give him an education, he set to work
and, by his own effort, working during
school terms and vacation, earned and
paid for his education, graduating from
the University of Georgia in 1914.
Since that time he has successfully
practiced law in the City Of Augusta,
where he is considered one of the
ablest Of the younger lawyers Of that
section. Mcdonald is now In his early
Ghirties.
Mr.. Mcdonald is a man whose cheer
fuiness is en- inspiration to his friends,
Of whom there are thousands. AS an
evidence OF his popularity and ability
the voters Of Richmond County have
for three successive terms sent him to
the State Legislature over opposition

Charlie Rays droll genius to bur lesque characters is again evidenced In "R. s. V. P.," his First National attraction which will be presented at the Trianon this week beginning Monday
 This time the star appears as an artist of much ambition, but little success, who is impoverished because he declines to have his wealthy rela- lives support him.

Harry Myers, who had a prominent role in "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" ap- pears as Rays chum, Benny Field ing. William courtridge is shown in one of the character roles for which his name has become famous in screen circles.

 An Indian artist who was called in consultation told Miss Compson that he could apply design that would last for at least six months and would be waterproof. But this was of but little comfort to Miss Compson, whc realized immediately that until the ink marks wore away she would be deprived of enjoying her favorite pastime, salt water swimming.

JAPANESE PEARLS INFERIOR

From the Scientific American.
 Something approaching consterna- ton swept the London market when it became known that the Japanese were rroducing what were declared to be real pearls by introducing into one oyster a particle Of mother-of- pearl sewn up in shell-producing tis- sue taken from another oyster. New York jewellers were not so readily driven into panic. and they now state that the unnatural stimulation in duced by the method results in a pearl of distinctly inferior quality; held to,~the light, the difference is readily seen. The surface lacks the lustre and pinkish glow of the natu- ral pearl: 1t has a dead. waxy ap pearance. and the texture is not so fine As an additional precaution the x-ray is used; this never fails to differentiate the natural from the forced variety, and shows the nu- cleus of the latter to be large and solid instead of small and often hal- low, as are the cores of natural pearls.
