WOMEN VS. WOMEN

EYEM “IF LOVE FINDS A WAY”
She Maintain*That Co-Education ia Right.
Interesting Discussion of a Topic now
Before the Pt ople.
To the Editor of the Macon Telegraph:
The advocates of co-education have
struggled for years to convince the re
monstrants that higher education and co
education would not render women in
different to love and marriage. After
experience had furnished statistics prov
ing that co ed not only loved and mar
ried, but that mortality among their
children was astonishingly lower than
among other children, here is the specta
cle of a Georgia woman opposing it be
cause it is a kindergarten for love. De
spite testimonials in its favor from the
highest authorities, the most experienced
professors, some of whom admit their
former prejudice, the' editor of the
Americus Times-Reeorder • warns us
against it by virtue of an experience
which she “refrains from boring the pub
lic with,” and although she “could fill a
book with the physical and mental rea
sons against it,” she declines to favor us
with even two of them and opposes it
because it is a condition under which
“love will find away.”
The time is past when Georgia girls
will tremble and retreat because some
one with “experience” even cries, bo<>|
Mrs. Editor makes some assertions
’which have already been disproved to
every inquiring mind. For instance, she
affirms that “they are agitating a condi
tion for which there is absolutely, do
necessity.” Does she propose to duplicate
the University and give girls the advan
tages at the same price at which the uni
versity would furnish them? If not, does
she propose to defray the extra expenses
of all the Georgia girls who are forced
to go outside of the state to get the ad
vantages which the university denies
them?
She affirms: “Our experience has not
been different from that which is bound
to come to every intelligent, passably
good looking young woman averaging
from fifteen to twenty years who come in
contact w.th young men of the same age
in the class room day after day. It has
been and always will be that love will
find the way, and then down tumbles the
majestic educational plan of the theorist.”
The fact that a Georgia woman hinges
the whole questiop of co-education on
her expetience, ■' and affirms that “is
bound to come to every intelligent, passa
bly good looking young woman averag
ing from fifteen to twenty years,” etc.,
demonstrates perhaps better than any
thing that could be said in its favor the
woeful need of opening to Georgia girls
the State University and giving them the
opportunity to study logic. Time forbids
that we follow this assumption to its logi
cd conclusion. Grant for the sake of ar
gument that in every instance “love will
find the way.” Is it teasonable to suppose
that girls and boys who applied them
selves sufficiently to be able to enter the
university would allow the object of their
affections to see them laggards in their
classes? True love is a stimulus to best
• effort in every direction, and if imaginary
love should induce some co eds to neg-

The drowning of a woman is a shudder
some sight. Yet it is swift and compara
tively painless, and blissful, compared to the
pain and agony suffered for many years by
many thousands of women. Most of the
suffering endured by women may be traced
to one great, aggravating set of disorders.
The woman who does not take proper care
of the organs distinctly feminine is sure to
be sickly, nervous, fretful, and racked with
pain. She is unfitted for wifehood and
motherhood. Every woman owes it to her
self to be strong and healthy in a womanly
way. She may insure this if she will use
the proper remedy.
The greatest of all medicines for weak
and suffering women is Dr. Pierce’s Favor
ite Prescription. It acts directly upon the
delicate organs that make wifehood and
motherhood possible. It makes them
healthy and vigorous. It cures all weak
ness and disease. It allays inflammation,
soothes pain and stops weakening drains.
The nerves become steady, and calm, and
health resumes its natural sway throughout
the system. It prepares for wifehood and
motherhood. Over 90,000 women have tes
tified to its marvelous virtues and all good
druggists sell it.
Ignorance of her own physical nature is re
sponsible for a great deal of the pain and suf
fering that woman undergoes. Dr. Pierce’s
Common Sense Medical Adviser is the best
medical book for the home. It is now on
the bookshelves of over a million American
households. Several chapters of the book are
devoted to the diseases and weaknesses of the
organs distinctly feminine. Every woman should
read it. It contains over 1.000 pages. Any one *
may obtain a paper - covered copy, absolutely
free, by sending at oue-cent stamps to cover the
cost of mailing only, to World’s Dispensary Med
ical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. If a handsome,
durable cloth binding is desired, send ten cent*
extra (thirty-one cents in all).
| lect their studies and bring reproach upon
I the institution it would not militate
against coeducation, but against the indi
viuuals. Because boys and girls who will
neglect their books for girls and boys will
find the opportunity, despite the con
vents and monasteries. •
Love and marriage which are the re
sult of daily association in the class room
are very apt to bear the test of the
breakers which are generally supposed to
appear on the sea of matrimony. The
claim of “inherent superiority” for
women, of course, carries with it the
claim of inherent inferiority for men. It
is strange that the woman who claims for
women “inherent superiority” should
fear the “corrupting influences” of the
inferior (?) men. Those men and women
who profess to “believe in the inherent
superiority of women” never fail to deny
women simple equality.
Os eight hundred letters sent out to
faculties of co-education, over five hun
dred of the replies received favored
the system. Dr. W. H. Scott, president
of the Ohio State University, says: “An
experience of twenty years has con
vinced me that for nine-tenths of college
students education of the sexes together
is better than education separately. The
presence of those of the opposite sex is a
stimulus in study and a restraint in con
duct. ’’ From many testimonials as
favorable, and reliable this is selected
on account of its brevity.
Why should co-education, “its very
thought be distasteful to all young
women?’’ Does the editor of the Times
Recorder consider • ‘the chivalrous man
hood of Georgia’’ unworthy to breathe
in the class room the same atmo.-phere
of the “inherently superior” women
whom it represents (?)—without a pro
test from her—at the ballot box, and in
legislative halls?
We have co-eduoation in the common
schools through the state, but no one
need fight it because there the girls are
getting the simple rudiments, while co
education in the University is a curse
because it opens to the “superior” woman
the advantages of higher education here
tofore monopolized by the boys.
This wail against ‘.‘the unholy agita
tion of co education* ’ is the same dis
cordant sound which has vibrated sim
ultaneously with every chord of prog
ress. It sounded against freedom for our
old black mammy; against freedom of
religion, against married women’s prop
erty rights, yesterday it sounded against
admitting women to the business world,
today it sounds in Georgia against co
education and ’ woman suffrage, but
“here we go two by two, and we are
not afraid of the bugaboo.”

THE ROME TRIBUNE. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 30, LBSK,
USE IN EVERY FOUR, ‘
Ou* Person *ln Every IFour Suffers From
Piles.
About one person in every four suf
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is
itching piles, indicated by warmth,
slight moisture and intense, uncon
trollable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but noth
ing like a permanent cure can be ex
pected from such superficial treat
ment.
The only permanent cure for itch
ing piles yet discovered is the Pyra
mid Pile Cure, not only for itching
piles, but for every other form of piles
‘blind, bleeding or protruding. The
first application gives instant relief
and the continued use for a short
time causes a permanent removal of
the tumors or the small parasites
which cause the intense itching and
d s somfortof I'ching piles.
Many physicians for a long time
supposed that-the remarkable relief
afforded by the Pyramid Pile Cure
was beeausa.it was supposed to con
tain cocaine, opium or similar drugs,
but such is not the case. A recent
careful analysis of the remedy showed
it to be absolutely free free from any
cocaine, opium, or in fact any poison
ous, injurious drugs whatever. Sold
by druggists at 50 cents per package.

by the big company is a 72 foot coach

his company and comfortable berths
for the others. Indeed the accomoda

any Pullman or Wagner coach. A por

reading and smoking room and is al
so used as a dining room when the
ministrels are forced to take meals en

Or makes them noble, strong and brave,
And saves them from an early grave.

» EDEHATION OF WOMEN’S CLUBS.
Mrs. Kececo* Lowe Issues an Important Let
ter to Club Presidents,
In view of the fact that the Georgia
Federation of Women’s Clubs will meet
here from November 1 to 3, the follow
ing will prove interesting.
Oue of the principal objects undertaken
by the Georgia Federation of Women’s
Clubs is that of developing the library
system of the state. In view of that fact,
Mrs-, W. B. Lowe, president of the
federation, has sent the following official
letter to the presidents of the various
clubs throughout the state:
“My Dear Madame President—The
Georgia Federation of Women’s Clubs,
recognizing the educational value of
public libraries, their impetus toward
wider knowledge, more liberal culture
and higher citizenship, at the meeting of
the board of directors in December, 1896,
appointed a committee to inquire into
the organization and maintenance of
public libraries. This committee is also
to serve as a bureau of information toward
the establishment of public libraries
throughout the state.
“It has in view the attainment of a
permanent library commission and a
law for free libraries. The committee
has spared neither time, expense nor
labor in fitting themselves for the
work assigned them. They have cor
responded with federation committees,
local libraries and state commissioner,
and they are now prepared to assist
in arranging or in devising plans of
work on library lines; and to furnish a
list of books and pamphlets which will
give information to all interested in
the vital question of public libraries-
“Appreciating the value of organi
zation, I ask the co-operation of all
the clubs in the state in this work.
“Will your club set apart one of the
sessions for the discussion of public
libraries and will you appoint a stand
ing committee to act in harmony with
and under the direction of the state
federation committee?
“Please have the library committee
report to Mrs. Eugene Heard, chair
man of library committee, Rose Hill,
Middleton, Ga, I am sincerely,
Rebecca D. Lowe,
“President Georgia Federation
Women’s Clubs.’’
