the pioneer, the vanguard of
material advancement, and in a
large sense of civilization as well.
We give much time to the
thought and practice of, politics
and economics. But science can
come along, and with one dis
covery, one invention, stop ail
our thought and practice and
turn it into an entirely different
channel.
What have railroads, steam
ships, telegraphs, and telephones
done for the world! Gradually,
unobtrusively remolded civiliza
tion. They have rendered obso
lete many problems, many con
ditions that fised to vex the war
riors and statesmen of the past.
Tis true they have brought
many of their own, but no one
is so Stupid ns to be willing to
forego them on that account.
The scientist is par excellence
the great civilizer.
Atlanta, therefore, rejoices to
entertain the 1913 convention,
both for the presence of its dis
tinguished members and for the
significance of the work in which
they are engaged.
The United States of China.
A republic for China, long
talked of, long predicted, has at
last been launched. It has been
set on its way to encounter what
ever the future may hold for it,
whether that be good fortune or
failure.
Representatives of the eighteen
provinces of China proper, with
out waiting fop further negotia
tions with the Imperialists, met
at Nanking, bound themselves
into a federation, declared for a
republican form of government,
and elected *Dr. Sun Yat Sen
president.
It is a formal declaration of
freedom' made both to the Man-
ehu dynasty and to the world.
By reason of it China becomes
the stage of the greatest drama
of the day—the struggle of new
ideas and new ideals to overcome
and supplant conditions outworn
And outgrown.
The time for compromise seems
past. It is either empire or
republic. One must survive
and one must perish. China has
indeed reached the' parting of
the ways.
It is not long after a great
drama like this is staged before
there enters the chief character.
History in the making always
evolves its man of destiny. The
Chinese crisis presents Dr. Sun
Yat Sen. who, notwithstanding
the price of $50,000 upon his
head, offered by the Chinese gov
ernment, has been Inhering for
year* in many parta of the world
for Chinese freedom.
He must he numbered among
the great “eome-baeks” of his

plot was discovered at Canton.
The conspirators were seized nnd

THIS WEEK IN COTTON
By JOSEPH B. LIVELY
Little was accomplished during the four bullneas days on the cotton
exchange the past week. Prt(?e movements were narrow, the trend was
toward Improvement, and, with the exception of the labor trouble In the
Lancaahlre district, there has been ho fresh new* of a bearish nature.
The belief has been general in acme quarter* that with the closing up
of the December deal*, the market would begin Us movement downward to
the elght-cent level. The December option expired at noon Friday. Price*
In the afternoon were advanced to the high level* of the. week. Big »pot
people bought. Investor* bought, and shorts covered.
The Investor Is a new element In the market, and buying of this charac
ter has been lacking up to now, due to the long-continued enormous move
ment from the farms, and while the marketing continues on a compara
tively heavy scale. It Is believed the market has discounted all bearish In
fluences on this crop, and attention Is being turned to the next.
It Is said the loss to the South as a result of over-production of cottoz
the current season will be 8150,000,000 to 1800,000,000. The farmers will not
plant 35,000,000 acres to cotton the coming season. There will be a sharp
curtailment, some say 85 per cent. If this proves to be correct, this cotton
Is now on the bargain counter.
The week-end statistics are beginning to show more bullish. Takings
by spinner* continue on a Urge scale, and stocks are Increasing less rap
idly than a year ago. The movement Into sight the past week dropped from
the 690,000 mark to less than 600,000.
As compared with the previous week prices show advances of from 4 to
14 points, the largest gain being In next crop positions. ■' ;
The Lancashire labor trouble has not affected the market to any
appreciable degree as yet. However, If It continues end spreads. It will have
a depressing influence.
A market report has this to say of the lockout:
"The facts In connection with the labor, trouble among the Lancashire
mills are that this concerns only the mills In the north and northeastern
section of the Lancashire county. In the whole county there are about
2,000 mills. Not only have 160,000 weavers of cotton yam been locked out
In these mills In the north and northeastern septlon, nut an equal number
of spinners of yarn have been put on half-time by these mills, and tho
prospects are the latter will be compelled to stop work entirely unless the
difficulty between the weavers and the manufacturers Is settled within the
next fortnight. The mills In other sections of Lancashire and In Manches
ter are not affected by this trouble. But If the present dispute really devel
ops Into a question of maintaining an open shop for yarn spinners as well
as weavers In all the mills In the Lancashire county and In Manchester
district. It would become an extremely serious matter, and might Involve
accordingly upward of 600.000 mill hands."

The new companies entered
the service in the order named:
The Grady Cadets, the Fulton
Blues, the Marist Rifles, the Ful
ton Fusiliers and the Atlanta
German-American Rifles,
With the coming of the new
troops will come an enhanced
interest in the military affairs
of the city. Wisely directed, it
can' result in nothing other than
greatly increased efficiency, plac
ing Atlanta in the front rank of
cities noted for their splendid
military organizations, and af
fording an additional guaranty
of the safety of the city and
state and the maintenance' of
good order therein.
The new military enthusiasm
should be fostered in every way
possible. The state should look
more to the equipment and
training of the guardsmen and
Atlanta and Fulton county, so
far as the Fifth regiment is con
cerned. should provide it en
larged quarters at the Audito
rium-Armory.
Possessing an entire regiment,
Atlanta should not fail to make
the most of it.
The Scientists Will
Gather in Atlanta.
The three or four thousand
members making up the Ameri
can Association For the Advance
ment of Science have selected
Atlanta for their meeting place
in 1913.
This is one of the really big
national gatherings, and in se
curing it Atlanta has again dem
onstrated its pre-eminence as the
convention city of the South
city as hospitable as it is busy.

Few persons perhaps know that it is
often possible to read the pulse in the
Anger nails. This can be done by press
ing slightly upon the tip of the nail,
causing it to turn white at the edges
by pressing out the blood, and then care
fully watching the wave of redness which
passes into tns blanched area with each
beat of the pulse. In certain disease,
anemia, for example, this "capillary
pulse” is quite distinct.
A healthy pernon, by pressing the hall
of the Anger Armly upon a table, can
squeeze out much of the blood from the
bed of the nail, causing the nail to turn
white in the outer part. When, by such
iressure, the entire nail turns white,

■'You have a misunderstanding of the fundamentals of business,'' said
the Business Doctor to the young merchant. "You say that the secret of
successful merchandising Is the bargain counter and the bargain sale
This Is true'to an extent. There is no
one thing which will draw so much
business to a store as real bargains,
real chances to get 31 worth of mer
chandise for 75 cents. But never for
a moment must you get the idea In
your head that any merchant can make
a lasting success on fake bargains.
They must be bonafide bargains, where
the real value is not overstated In the
advertisement, or you will find that
the advertising, will soon cease to lure.
"Now, If you will tell me or any
other man (how a merchant can offer
real bargains day after day without
losing money on the article offered for
sale you will confer a favor. To be a
real bargain, merchandise must be sold
at a less price than your competitors
can buy It for. In other words, you
mu3t lose money. How can you go on
losing money day after day and yet
make a success? It can not be done.
In other words, the bargain sale, the
special marked-down sale and such like
affairs, are overdone.
"A man can succeed on straightforward, legitimate advertising. He of
course, will have his special sale, from time to time, of out-of-season
goods, or goods that are not moving fast, but In my opinion It Is better
business to have these sales for the benefit they do the stock, rather than
for the benefit they are to the cash drawer.
"One of the biggest haberdashers In the country made the statement
two years ago that In his opinion the day of the bargain sale was over
In his opinion It had been Imitated and overdone, till the public no longer
had confidence In that sort of advertising, and he proposed to quit it, and
he did from that time forth. From that time on hie advertising cessed to
tell of what wonderful 325 suits he was selling for 120, and began to tell
of what wonderful suite he was selling for 325; of what splendid weaves
the goode was: of how well they were made, of what splendid style they
were cut In, and from that day he has kept consistently at that policy, it
is now his contention that the difference in the two prlpes originally used
and the regular price used today pays all hi* advertising bills, and within a
month he has shown me his books demonstrating that he has done more
business In the last year than in any other year of his business existence,
and In addition to that his net profit has been 6 per cent greater on every
dollar's worth of business done.
"There Is little doubt that the constant reiteration of the catch lines.
‘Great Bargains' and 'Special Sale,' In the advertising columns of the dallv
papers has palled upon the public. If the advertising was all truthful, the
only conclusion at which one could logically arrive would be that dire dls-
' aster was imminent In the entire retail district. After this advertising has
continued day after day and season after season, the public get so thev
do not believe apy of it. Some must be untrue, and as they have neither
the time nor Incllnatlon'to separate the false from the true, they believe
none of It. and so the man who advertises quality and service, with only an
occasional bargain sale, gets the credit of being the more truthful advertiser,
and his announcements are credited, where the persistent advertiser of bar
gain* attract* little attention.
"That a business can and does succeed with strictly legitimate adver
tising can be easily demonstrated by any. man who cares to do so. Think
over for yourself the Jeweler In your own city whj has established In your
mind a reputation for absolute reliability, and the chances are that you will
find he Is a man whose ads. are not of the bargain type, but of the oppo
site.” - c :

Thc Arkansas W. C. T. U. recently
held Its thirty-third annual convention
In Fine Bluff, which has twenty open
saloons. Mrs. Katherine Lent Steven
son. of Boston, was the convention
speaker and preached the sermon on
Sunday. Rev. Mr. Cline, a minister of
the Christian church, gave a 30 min
utes speech at an evening session on
"The Ballot For Women." At the close
he said that he spoke In behalf of his
wife and daughters. Mrs. Minnie U
Rutherford, whom many of The Geor
gian’s readers will remember as a dele
gate to the Southern conference In the
Interest of women and children, which
met In the state capttol last April, was
another speaker In the Interest of pro
tecting the children. She displayed
pictures on a canvas which Indicated
conditions under which children labor
and suffer In the Southern states. Mrs,
Lula A. Markwell was re-elected presl
dent of the Arkansas W. C, T. U.
The W. C. T. U'e. of Mississippi are
up In arms at the outrageous miscar
riage of Justice In the case of one poor
girl In Mississippi who, because of her
ago (fifteen years) was beyond the
power of the law to protect from the
charge of loss of virtue. They propose
"to batter at the doors of legtslattva
halls until the law Is framed on a just
basis for helpless youth and childhood."
Mrs. Harriet B. Kells, the state presi
dent, will lead In the movement to se
cure a raise In the age of consent from
twelve to eighteen year* for Missis
sippi's girls. In Georgia and In Hawaii
the age of conaent Is ten years. In
Tennessee It is 21 years, \Vhy this
discrepancy In the different states or
the Union?
The wife of the governor of Iowa,
Mrs. B. F. Carroll, recently addressed
large audiences In the churches of
Sioux City on "Purity," and also visited
the schools and Mornlngdale college,
where she was greeted by appreciative
audiences, She Is a W. C. T. U. wom
an, and, because of her position, she
can gain entrance where other speakers
are refused. When will women In high
positions realise their responsibilities
as this woman has done?
A certain physician living In Atlanta,
some years ago advertised a whisky
as a sovereign cure for tuberculosis.
The Union Signal, quoting from Dr.
Adolphus Knapf, says: "That alcohol
ism la one of the greatest direct and
Indirect causes that prepare the field
for tubercle baccilll is now generally
conceded, not only by all physicians
and. sanitarians, but by alt sociologists
who have studied the subject. It Is
not only a phthlslogenettc disease In
life, but, according to statistics care
fully kept tn European hospitals for
children, In more than 60 per cent of
cases either father or mother, or bollg
were alcoholics." The late eminent DE
Bronardel, of France, aald: "Alcohol Is
In effect one of the most powerful fac
tors in the production of tuberculosis.”
It Is estimated that there are about
160,000 Insane persons In this country
today and on the very conservative es
timate made by eminent physicians of
one In four they reached the concluslun
that we have 40,000 caaes of Insanity
from alcoholism.
Dr. Charles B. Johnson concludes
with these words: "Why do we make
unceasing war on tuberculosis that
harms only the body, while drink is left
free to not only prey on man’s body,
but likewise on hts home, his family,
bis property, his mind, his* character,
Mrs. Harriet-B. Kelts, president of
the Mississippi W. C. T. U., was ap
pointed by the governor of that great
state as a delegate to the AmertAtn
Anti-Saloon league, which held Its bi
ennial convention In the First Presby
terian church In Washington. D. C.
Mrs. ■ Howard M. Hogue, president of
the Virginia W. C. T. U.; Mrs. Emma
S. Shelton, president of the Columbia
W. C. T. U., and Mrs. Margaret Dye 1
Ellis, national W. C. T. U. superintend,
ent of legislation and petition, were
also appointed delegatee to that great
convention and asatsted In formulating
the wonderful resolutions adopted by
that body to prevent. If possible, the
Invasion of the "dry” territory by the
liquor people of this nation. Thc po
sition of those temperance women was
quite different from that of the women
sent as delegates to a temperance mee>..
lng In a New York city, when Susan
B. Anthony arose to speak to a motion
and was requosted by the chairman—a
preacher—to take her seat, and adding:
"The sisters are not expected to apeak,
but to listen and learn.” Then Susan
B. forthwith proceeded to organize a
Woman’s Temperance society, a thins
that had never beert heard of before.
Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis was selected
one of the committee of ten to decldt
on the beet form of the bill to be intro
duced In congress to secure adequate
Interstate commerce leglalatlon. And
thus do the women "evolute" and some
day there may be a woman president
of the United State* Who knows?
At an election In Warren county
Ohio, which remains In the dry ’Is: by s
majority of 121, women patrolled the
alley* alt day to prevent possible vote
selling.
A W. C. T. U. woman called the chief
by phone to tell him of suspicious
movements across tho street from h°r
home. Sho said she wa* sure there
was a blind tiger there, and sure enough
there was one, and he, she or It was
caught with the goods and carted to
the police station. Kipling said: "The
female of the species Is more deadly
than the male." Men seem to he afraid
or don't want to see prohibition pro
hibit.
The W. C. T. U’s. of Atlanta wish
they could Influence council to grant
Judge Broyles the power to send all
violators of the state-wide prohibition
law to the stockade and be forced to
earn their bread by the sweat of their
browa for twelve long months. That Is
the only way to make them law-abiding
citizens.
