S Flirting Girls • * $ $ vs. Praying Women, f X Co-Education as Debated by Shorter College Girls Brings out Some Unique ' Arguments. w Friday afternoon the Poymnian so ciety of Shorter college held a most interesting debate on co-education in the study hall, before the assembled school and a few visitors. The discus sion was by far the most unique,origi nal and sensible disquisition of the subject ever yet presented. The arguments on both sides were thoroughly convincing though the negative won and when the decision was announced there was rapturous applause from the congregated school girls which goes to say that Shorter is opposed to co-education. The judges selected by Dr. A. J. Battle were Mrs. C. Rowell, Mrs. Hice Howell and Mr. Junius Hillyer. Mr Hillyer stated in a neat little talk that all of the papers were so fine and that the arguments on both sides so con vincing that it was by the*‘merest thread of a difference” that they were enabled to arrive at a conclusion. He said that the papers read had ■covered every step of the ground and that all the arguments, pro and con, had been answered and that they would at first glance seemed to have emanated from wise and old brains and that it was almost incredible to believe that young school girls had prepared them. Mr. Hillyer was very graceful and just in his remarks, yet all the same it went without saying that the argu ment against co education now the hour. Yet in justice to young womanhood it must be stated that they all favored higher education for women. Some of the arguments advanced wese pithy, sircastic, witty and wise, and the publication thereof would make spicy reading. One girl against co-education said: “You can’t tell by looking at a gin whether sbe will flirt or not —most any of them will flirt if they have a good chance; and is the state going to say this lady is a flirt, she can’t go to the University? No, the state can’t tell either, and will have to suffer the consequences. ’ ’ Then another on the other side said, “co-education is obliged to come because the women have said, so, and they are praying for that end.” That is the most convincing ai gument I have yet heard —lt is a dangerous time when a whole lot of women go to praying for the same thing. Still another fair one declared that Southern women were queens. Sbe said what good will it do us to imitate our Northern society let me tell you—you had better hold on to a good thing when you have it. Those women at the North stand up in street cars, and our South ern men are very accommodating, and if we wish to stand up and turn half man they will let us be assured. Then again when you mix with men too much, and you are lowered from your high throne of ideality and he too is lowered. The woman loses and the man loses. Both sexes are diverted from their natural bent. Did you know that you could plant pop-corn and com mon field corn in the same row and when the tender stalks shot into life a plant would come neither the one nor the other? The pursuit of | money tempts many a W man to neglect his JBII health, with the result || that he soon loses both money and health, and || finds himself doomed ' to an untimely death, man should remember when is tempted to over-work him s, neglect his health, and de ’W vote insufficient time to eating, resting, and sleeping, that death is the tempter that holds out money as a bait. If a man will take proper care of his health, he will feel like work, and will find that he can do all the work that he cares to do within working hours. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery gets a man into working shape and keeps him there. It invigorates the liver, keeps the digestion in working order, the appe tite hearty and keen. It keeps the blood pure and plentiful. It keeps out and drives out impurities and disease-germs. It wards off nervous and wasting diseases. It cures 08 per cent, of all cases of consumption. It is the product of the life-work of an emi nent and skil'ful specialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Insti tute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Druggists sell it Mrs. L F. Coates, of Blythebourne, Kings Co., N. Y., writes: “Three years ago, I was so sick I could not eat. sleep or walk, for I coughed all day and night. My weight was reduced from 150 to 127 pounds. The first night that I slept for hours at one time, was after I had taken three doses of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med.ical Discovery. The of fensive matter expectorated grew less every day and when I had taken the whole of one bottle I could sleep all night without coughing, and have been well ever lince and weigh 178 pounds." A good, practical, medical book is worth more in a home tjian a thousand novels. Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser is that kind of a book. It contains 1.008 papes and over 300 illustrations. A new edition given away absolutely free. If you want a paper-covered copy send 21 one-cent stamps (the cost of mailing only), to World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, M. Y. For cloth binding, 31 stamps. In reply to this it w’is stated that woman’s mind was the equal of mao’s and that Chancellor Bogus today had a niece occupying a chair in the Harvard annex. If the state could give to the boys it could give to the girls, and that a good woman is al ways good, she is her own guardian and her inmate modesty and the knowledge that two or three hundred eyes bear espionage over her conduct is sufficient to guide her Into safe channels. On the other side our young lady vowed that she would not “go any where that she was not wanted; said the legislature did not want us and the boys at Athene did not and that was enough.” Another spoke of those who wished woman only to be tied to a dish-pan and be entirely ignorant of Scandinavian literature and higher education. She said, “if I am not tied to a dish-pan how am I to wash the dishes, and dish wash ing will be of more event in «after life than Scandinavian literature.” Lastly one said this quoting, from one “a man with high erected thoughts seat ed in a heart of courtesy” who thus solves the problem “No womanly woman should go to the University. Not that she is not good enough, but that she is too good.” Chivalry is nut yet dead. With all the evening was a happy one at the “pride of Rome,” and Dr. Battle has put another leaf in its laurel. ♦ Ethel Hillyer Harris. Household Gods.

Martin Calvin Before the Georgia Legislature. Hon. Martin V. Calvin, of Richmond, has introduced a bill iu the House pro viding for the issuance of circulating notes by State banks, in an amount equal to 75 per cent, of the paid-up un impaired capital stock, with the proviso that all notes so issued shall become a first lien on the entire assets of the bank, etc. Additional security is pro vided by imposing liability upon the stockholders to the amount of the face value of their shares. Referring to his bill, and to the practicability of the plan which be outlines, Mr. Calvin says: “The proposition to issue circulating notes without requiring the deposit of bonds may seem at first blush to be un wise; but a first lien upon the entire as sets of a bank is better security than bonds. Under the law now of force, the bank examiner’s duty is to seetbat each bank shall write off all assets that are not live. Take the banks as they appear in the Treasurer’s annual report: The capital stock of State banks was $9,250,- 000 iu round numbers. Seventy five per cent, of this would give circulating notes to the amount of $6,937,500. The treasurer’s report shows that the assets amount to $31,322,152-say $30,000,000 —so that, independent of the liability of shareholder, there would be the most ample protection for the people in the matter of the circulating notes. “The bill contemplates the immediate issuance of these notes—that is, without unnecessary delay; that any bank ac cepting the provisions of the act shall pay the federal ten per cent, tax under protest, and the president of the bank shall at once acquaint the governor with the facts; whereupon the governor shall instruct and require the attorney gen eral immediately to take the legal steps necessary to bring the question of the constitutionality of the act levying the ten par cent, tax before the Supreme Court ot the United States. “Thia is a summary plan for getting rid of that iniquitous tax. Congress has not the courage to repeal the act. With State banks of issue freed from that tax, Georgia would soon be on the high road to prosperity. ” * " * lon't Tobacco Spit and Smoke ivur Life Away If you want to quit tobacco using ind forever, beiuude well, strong, niuguelic, uli of new life and vigor, talte No-To-Bac, lie wonder-worker, that makes weak men arong.
