MANY CANDIDATES ARE
AFTER FULTON'S JOO
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 31.—The $15,000
job made vacant by the death of Andy
P. Stewart, who was tax collector of
Fulton county for thirty years without
a break, bids fair to bring out the
largest field of strong candidates thal
ever contested for an office in Fulton
county.
Even before the funeral of Mr. Stew
art had been held yesterday afternoon
newspapers here carried stories giving
the names of some of the candidates
who would probably make the race,
and while none of them would discuss
the subject, it was generally known
that all their friends were busy.
Among the probable candidates are
James G. Woodward, now mayor of
Atlanta, whose term expires January!
1; H. H. Cabaniss, formerly business
manager of the Atlanta, and once joint
owner with Thomas W. Loyless of tne
Augusta Chronicle; Lucien Harris, son
of the late Joel Chandler Harris, and
chief deputy tax collector for twenty
years; James M. Fuller, city marshal
of Atlanta; S. J. Sheffield, a well
known citizen, and S. B. Turman, a
prominent real estate dealer and mem
ber of the board of county commis
tioners.
Mr. Stewart who was, probably, the
most popular man in Fulton county,
v-as buried yesterday with impressive
funeral services at the First Baptist
church, of which he had been a mem
ber forty years, and superintendent of
the Sunday school for thirty years.

OLD PAPERS REAP I
BENEFIT TD SHIBITY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—Children
of the public schools of the District of
Columbia, after a few days’s campaign,
which is to continue indefinitely, have
collected approximately 27 tons of
old newspapers and magazines which
sold for $317 and the money has been
1 placed in a fund for the equipment of
I playgrounds and other social activi
ties. The plan for collecting the old
papers was sugested by The Evening
Star which pointed out it would serve
a double purpose, assisting the chil
dren to obtain better playgrounds and
help the paper trade in the present
shortage. The plan was approved by
the education authorities and has been
taken up enthusiastically by the school
children.
During the first five days, 54,929
pounds of old newspapers and maga
zines were taken to the school build
ings by the children. The last day of
the week totaled 22,119 pounds, one
school contributed 3,923 pounds. The
papers were sold at the rate of 50
cents per hundred pounds for the
newspapers and $1 per hundred pounds
for magazines. The individual schools
will receive the greater proportion of
the money received from their con
tributions and part of the sum goes
into a general fund.
GEORGE STALLINGS IJ
STOCK PRIZE WINNER
ATHENS, Ga., Oct. 31—George Stall
ings, manager of the Boston Ameri
cans, has made his first winnings in
the show ring for shorthorn cattle and
is one of Georgia’s most enthusiastic
livestock breeders. He has just won 1
first prize for a shorthorn heifer at
the South Carolina State fair at Col
umbia and grand championship for a
female of all breeds, with nine breeds
competing, some of which came from
as far north as New York. The same
heifer took dowm first prizes at the
Southeastern fair at Atlanta. Stallings
is enthusiastic about this side-line
business of his and believes there are
great possibilities for beef production
in the South. He has a farm of 5,209
acres at Haddock’s, Ga., not far out
from Macon, on the Georgia railroad,
which he is converting into a beef
ranch. He says that eight members
of his team are now shorthorn breed
ers.
Stallings has solicited the College
of Agriculture at this place for a line
of information and the department of
animal husbandry is to furnish plans
for barns, sheds, paddocks, pasture,
etc. He has won fourteen grand cham
pionships at baseball and has a hank
ering for some such honors in short
horndom.
Aother notable addition to the list
of livestock breeders of Georgia is
Congressman Carl Vinson, Milledge
ville, who recently purchased a sup
erior sire of the Hereford treed from
one of the famous thoroughbed strains
cf the country.

lOVER 400 GATHER IT
! EASTERN STAR MEET
i LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 31.—Dele
f gations from all sections of the United
, States, several provinces of Canada,
» Porto Rico, Alaska, the Prilippines
t and Hawaii, are in Louisville, ready
i for the opening of the fifteenth trl-en
i nial assembly of the General Grand
: Chapter of the Order of the Eastern
■ Star. The convention will last three
days.
About four hundred delegates, repre
i senting a membership of approximate
ly seven hundred thousand will be
here. Numbered among the visitors
will be some of the most notable fig
ures in Masonry and the meeting is ex
pected to be one of the most import
ant in recent years. Among other
questions which it is said will be
brought before the General Grand
chapter, is a proposition to amend the
constitution so as to provide the su
preme body with greater power in
levying assessments against the con
stituent grand chapters, the money to
be used for expenses of the general
grand chapter.
Part of the convention time will be
given up to a pilgrimage by the dele
gates to LaGrange, Ky., about twenty
six miles from Louisville, where Rob
ert Morris, who founded the order in
1850, is buried. The delegates also
will make a trip to Mammoth Cave at
the close of the assembly.
The Order of the Eastern Star is'
composed of Masons, their wives,
daughters, mothers, widows and sis
ters, and has sometimes, been called
the Adoptive Rite of Freemasonry. It
has for its object the furnishing of an
instrumentive beneficence to the near
female relatives of Masons.
Robert Morris, its founder, was born
near Boston, Mass., but lived for many
I years in Kentucky. He was grand
master of the Kentucky Grand Lodge of
Masons in 1858 and 1859. He was aj
prolific writer upon Masonic subjects
and was known as the poet laureate of
Masonry.
ATLANTA’S “JACK THE RIPPER"
IS AGAIN ON THE OFFENSIVE
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 31.—Mysterious
and terrible “Jack the Ripper,” who
cuts the throats of negro women from
ear to ear and hides their bodies in
“Death Valley,” has resumed his mur
derous operations among the colored
population of Atlanta, and the negroes
are filled with wild alarm.
A few years ago the strange crim
inal killed a dozen negro women with
in a period of six months, and then
suddenly his murders ceased as
abruptly as they had begun. Now they
have started again. The bodies of two
negro women have been found in
“Death Valley,’’ which is a sort of
swamp near the railroad belt line in
the principal negro settlement of the
city. Their throats were cut from
ear to ear, and their bodies were hid
den like all the rest.
The police attribute the murders to
a homicidal maniac.
MAXWELL CAR WINS
’ TWO ECONOMY TESTS
Recent tests for economy in gasoline
I consumption conducted in different
, sections of the country show that the
i Maxwell car continues to enjoy supe
■ riority in this vital item affecting the
. motorist’s purse.
Within the last month, two import
ant economy contests were conducted,
one in California and the other in
Virginia, and in both of these, the
Maxwell car was victorious, proving
its ability to go forthest on the small
est amount of fuel. Both of these con
tests were participated in by a num
ber of cars of well known make and
beth were officially checked.
Wins Government Test.
H. P. Jayne, government sealer of
weights and measures, officially ob
served a test in the Y’osemite Valley
Cal., recently. Fire cars were start
ed from the Commercial club in Fres
no for the valley, after Mr. Jayne had
sealed the tanks. The roads were in
the worst possible condition. The steep
grades were made doubly hard by hav
ing six inches of dust and the ruts
from the heavy traffic let the cars
down frequently to a point where the
axles scraped the road.
Arriving in Yosmite Valley, Mr.
Jayne broke the seals, and with certi
fied measures refilled the tanks with
gasoline, also weighing the loads car
ried by the cars, including passengers
and luggage.
The result showed that the Maxwell
consumed seven gallons of gasoline
and carried 875 pounds. Its nearest
competitor used eight and six-tenths
gallons and carried only C 35 pounds.
The third car in the competition used
nine gallons and carried 874 pounds.
Two other cars trailed along. In other
words, the Maxwell carried a gerater
weight than any other automobile in
the contest and did twp miles to the
! gallon better than its nearest competi
-1 tor.
More Honors in Richmond.
At the Virginia State Fair held In
Richmond early in October, the Max
well won a big economy run in com
petition with practically all the four
cylinder cars sold in that city. All of
the contestants were started with one
half gallon of gasoline in a special
tank provided by the fair authorities.
The Maxwell distanced all competitors
by a wide margin, covering thirteen
and three-tenths miles on the half
gallon.
ONE WAY TO CORE A
NARCOTIC HABIT NOW
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 31.—1 s en
forced confinement a condition prece
dent to the cure of the narcotic habit?
Will the Federal government or the
state governments, or both, eventually
take drug victims and place them in
prisons, so to bspeak, where they can
be deprived of drugs and thereby cur
ed of the curse which has come upon
them?
Some Atlanta doctors believe the
final answer to these questions will be
in the affirmative, while others con
tend that he cure of drugs always de
depnd in part upon the will of the in
dividual victim and that governments
will never go so far as to make pris- j
oners of them, even when enforced
confinement would admittedly be con- I
ductive to their betterment.
The questions have been raised by
tire experienced of a prominent phy- ;
sician from a community near Atlanta
who came to this city and got himself
sentenced to six months in the Federal
Prison to take the drug cure admin-,
istered to inmates of that institution. '
He contracted the habit during an '
illness years ago, tried to shake it off,;
failed, and finally became almost a ;
physical and mental wreck. Knowing :
that drug victims are cured at the
Federal Prison, he told his family of
bis plans, came here and confessed to
a minor infraction of the Federal anti
narcotic laws, and persuaded the U. S.
district attorney, Hooper Alexander,
to arraign him before Judge W. T.
Newnan, of the U. S. District court,
who sentenced him to serve six months
in the prison.
