THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWSs SATUKUAV, DECEMBER 30, 1911. 5 POLITICAL AND SOCIAL UNREST HAVE CHARACTERIZED YEAR 1911 Practically Every Nation Has Had Its Internal Troubles. Governments Overturned. When the historian of the future records the events of the year 1911, w hich comes to a close Sunday, ho will lay particular stress on the political' and social unrest throughout the world. This was not confined to any one coun. try, or to a few countries; It was world-wide, involving practically even- nation, both civilised and uncivilised. It included revolutions against long standing governments, battles of labor and capital, wars between different na. tlona, and, In short, everything that could be branded as strife aganst ex isting conditions or growing conditions. Most significant of all the events of the year was the explosion In open re bellion of the hatred that had been ac cumulating thru the ages, of the Chi nese against the despotic Manchu dy nasty. Passive, unresisting, yet at the same time loathing and despising the power that held them In subjection, the millions In the Far East empire had for centuries submitted to being trod den on by unreasoning, overbearing, all-potent, self-styled demigods. But china was gradually awakening, and, when the first flames of revolution burst forth. It was the signal for the conflagration to become general. Hut the Chinese insurrection was hut a larger edition of dozens, yea scores, of upheavals of various kinds In other parts of the world. Smolder ing and nurturing the agitation under the surface for years, they broke forth with such suddenness that It was al most Impossible to realise what was securing until the whole thing was ever.

Aside from the numberless conflicts, many noteworthy, things have been penned in the diary of 1911. Science has witnessed vast strides, particularly In the field of aviation., The flights of Atwood from St. Louis to New York, and of Rodgers from New York to Pasadena, Cal., were the crowning achievements In this line. About all that remains to be accomplished in aviation, as a feat, Is the crossing of the ocean. When all that Is good and all that Is bod are considered together. It can not be: said otherwise than that the year was one. In which the good predomlnat ed. dies. the great dlaturbancea of the year that reached an ultimate result, wound up In favor of the party or element re belling against the condition. In not one did the defense win over the of fense. The Mexican revolution, near to our own doors, was a striking example of the overturn of regime. In the United 8tatea. Nearer still was the successful cul mination of the battle for statehood of Arlxona and New Mexico. Other struggles of equal magnitude developed during the year, many of them with sensational efTect. In which the issue Is still being fought. Among these are the battle between labor and capital, the "people" and monopoly, and advocates of popular government as opposed to representative government. Campaigns on graft have been waged with fierce resolution by city, state and Federal authorities, not only In all corner* of the United States, but abroad as well. The McNamara dynamiting case, the growth of sentiment for popular elec tion of all Federal officials, the prog ress of the woman suffrage movement, trust prosecutions, the campaign for currency reform, and that for lower tariffs—ell these typify the unrest -that Danger on the Road Sleeping cars, hotel bedrooms and public boarding houses are dangerous to the safety of every Traveling Man’s mon ey, But this risk can be easily avoided by depositing your funds with this worthy institution and having us supply you with a book of Travelers’ Checques or a Letter of Credit.

Many young people In Atlanta today are holding responsible positions after 8 to 12 weeks courses tn Chartler Shorthand under Mr. Hill's instruction. Professor Hill has had a wide expe- rlence ns a literary and commercial teacher, having taught tn spme of the leading business colleges of ths United States He Is a graduate of the Trl- State Normal College of Indiana, and the noted Btlss Business College, of Ohio. > Mr. Hill taught Pitman and Graham shorthand for a number of years. Later he studied the Chartler System undtr Its author. In speaking of the relative merits of these systems, he says; "While teaching the Pitman and Gra ham systems I found the average time required to turn out a competent ate- nogranher about six months. With the Chartler system I can accomplish the same reaults In three months," thus saving the pupil about one-half the time. Mr. Hill will be glad to meet his many frlenda and former pupils. A large number of young .men and omen will begin the new year by en tering upon a course' of business train ing In order To prepare themselves for success and usefulness In life.

President No More Constipation -WHEEI It's Me for Olive Tabletsl That la tbe joyful cry of thousand* since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tab let*, the aubatltute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 yeara and Calomel's old-time en emy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablet! while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid liver*. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a heating, soothing laxative. No griping Is the "keynote” of theae little'sugar-coated tablets They cause the bowel* and liver to act normal. They never fore* them tc unnatural action. It la easy to compel bowel and liver activity for a time with calomel and natty, sickening, griping castor oil, but the after effects sr* dangerous, and the real cause of the trouble la often not even touched. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablet* are so easy to take that children do not regard them as "medicine" at all. If you have a "dark brown mouth" now and then—a bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver and constipated, you'll find quick, sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Olive Tablets at bedtime. They’re perfectly harmless. Thousands take one every night juet to keep right. Try them. • "Every Tittle Olive Tablet ha* a movement all Its own." 10c and 26c per box.
