Madagascar Gold

The island of Madagascar, accord
ing to reports received in Washington
promises to assume some importance
as producer of gold. On the east
ern slope of the island are some aur-
ferrous districts said to be very rich.

have been very crude, and
only native workmen have proved
capable of withstanding the climate.

Old Salt Spends His Vacation by tho

Capt. Harold 4. Cunningham. COM
mander OF the steamship George
Washington. and commodore OF the
United States Lines feet. recently
took vacation. This was the first
lay-oft that Capt. Cunningham has
had in many years.
His friends expected that he would
go to the mountains or far inland
away from the roaring surf. Strange
to say, Capt. Cunningham. with the
sea in his blood. spent his vacation
at the SEA shore. As q matter of fact.
during the carly days OF his vacation,
he could be found walking around the
Battery at the southern end OF Man
haitian Island wistfully watching tn"
ships of the world as they entered
and departed from the harbor. ON
other days, when he was not wander
ing around the waterfront. he visited
old shipmatcs on other vessels.
capt. Cunningham has been twitted
considerably for this. and one rather
sarcastic friend observed that the
doughty commanders vacation was
much like that of the motorman. who
on his dav off. rides on the front OF
the car with the substitute.

Beaten in Race for Seat OF
Late Tom Watson.
Iuterna tionai News Service.

ATLANTA. Ga, Oct. 1S.-Admin.
isterlng 10 Governor Thomas w.
Hardwick, former United States
Senator, the most humiliating defeat
of his career, Judge Walter f. George.
of Vienna, today has been nominated
to succeed the late Thomas T.. Wat
son as United States Senator from
Georgia.
Judge George will take the seat
made vacant by the death Of Senator
Watson when Congress reconvenes
after the November elections, as
nomination on the, Democratic ticket
in Georgia is equivalent to election.
Mrs. w. II. FELTON,. recently ap-
pointed to the Senate by Governor
Hardwick to fill the interim between
Senator Watson's death and the gen.
eral election, will reach the end OF
her tenure Of office Immediately fol-
lowing the election.
Judge Georges victory was most
impressive. He not only crushed his
nearest competitor with an avalanche
of votes, but SO clearly swept the
State that the third man in the race,
Seaborn Wright, of Rome. running
on prohibition platform, hardly
polled a single unit vote-a state
provision that operates. similarly to
