THE 1 FADFR-ENTERPRISE, TUESDAY, AUGUST 27. 1912,
Savannah Paper
Praises Girl From
Fitzgerald.
Her name is Georgia Lee Kirk,
and she lives ia Fitzgerald when
she is at home.
Miss Kirk, be it known, is a
business woman: although she is
by way of being an artist too, Al
so she is about the daintiest, sweet
est, most winsome bit of femini
nitythat ever went about diffus
ing sunstine and happiness,
Not quite 12 years old is Miss
Georgia Lee Kirk, but she knows
a lot—and is absolutely unspoiled
by what she knows.
She is an artist, out sbhe 'does
not hold to the overworked motto
“Art for art’s sake.”
After thefuneral of he
father two years ago, there
was but little left except
their home, and the mother and
daughter bravely determined to
win their own way in the world.
That is how Georgia Lee Kirk
comes to be in Savannah, for she
is helping to make money neces
sary to pay taxes and to keep the
wolf from the door,
It seems that Mrs. Kirk secured
the agency for a household neces
sity, and decided to come to Sav
annah to sell it, Her little daugh
ter, being a young lady of re
source, came here also, and an
nounced that she, too, intended to
enter into business.
Possessing a talent for water-‘
color work, the little girl decided
that art postals were to be her
line. |
Her plan is to secure art cards,
in black and white, and to color
them herself; which she. does in a
clever and highly artistic mancer.
And then she takes these cards
and sells them to whomsoever wiil
buy, : I
~ Nor doos this energetic young
business-artist woman find it hard
to dispose of her pretty cards.
It would be a hard-hearted,
calloused man who could look into
that flower like face, framed in an
aurora of sunny hair, illuminated
by two wonderful, clear blue eyes
’that remind one of cerulean skies
‘on a summer day, and refuse her
‘anything she asks,
, All unconscious of her marve
‘lous beauty is this soberly serious
listle woman. It is all business
f‘,with her. She paints the pretty
‘cards, and she knows that they are
'worth money, And money she
’must have, so that she can go
'back to school this fall in Fitzger
lald and not be a burden to her
!mo‘uher.
Wonderfully well informed for
her tender age is Miss Georgia
Lee Kirk. No doll’s face is hers,
for it is full of the divine fire of
enthusiastic understanding and ap
preciation. From the limpid
depths of her clear eyes there
ooks out upon the world a per
sonality of exceptional intelligence,
Her smile is the smile of a child,
bright and merry, but she has the
mind of a person twice her yeais.
Already she has sold many of her
art cards. In some instances she
receives as much as 50 cents for
an exceptionally pretty one, and
once in a while she has been given
a whole dollar.
She is not averse to taking about
herself ‘and her work, and says
she hopes she and her mother will
be able to make enough money to
pay 8 visit to her auntin Cali
fornia next year,—Savannsh
News.
And the Lord also helps those
who help others, :

J. W. NORRIS,
Sheriff Ben Hill County Georgia..
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Has De
cided Views on Subject.
Wife of Democratic Candidate Gives
Out Letter Taking Strong Stand on
Bmoking Habit,
New York.—For the first time since
Woodrow Wilson became the Demo
cratic presidential candidate has Mrs.
Wilson appeared. She attended in
person her husband’s daily conference
with reporters, although heretofore
she has made special requests that
she be not quoted nor written about
in the papers. :
That Mrs. Wilsop. wished to have
fully understood was that if she be
comes the first lady of the land she
will not, as has been said in a widely
distributed interview, have packages
of cigarettes in her personal desk at
the White House and indulge in smok
ing them with her callers.
Through Governor Wilson, Mrs. Wil
son asked that publicity be given to a
letter she had written to the editor of
the State Journal at Columbus, 0., re
pudiating an alleged interview with
her in which she defended cigarette
smoking for women. The interview
had come to her in a letter signed
“American Citizen,” which sald:
““Dear Madam—l can scarcely think
of any greater calamity to the young
women of the nation than to read such
a preacPment as your interview offers
them. lam a workingman, and I see
men lose their jobs almost every day
because they are incapacitated for
work by the use of the cigarette. If
smoking does this for strong men
what will it do for girls and women?”
“The “interview” was indeed a cor
dial indorsement of the woman smok
er. Here are some of its assuring
phrases, all credited to Mrs, Wilson:
“A woman writer for a syndicate of
Sunday newspapers asked Mrs. Wood
row Wilson if she agreed with Ger
trude Atherton’s opinion of the smok
ing of cigarettes by women. She smil
ingly exhibited three cigarette boxes
piled in the corner of her desk, all but
empty.
“ “Why shouldn’t a woman smoke if
ghe enjoys it?” she queried.
“ ‘Why hasn’t she just as much right
to a cigarette as a man? Certainly I
agree with Mrs. Atherton that any
existing prejudice against women
smoking is to the last silly and ab
surd.
“‘Smoking cigarettes is a question
of manners, not morals. It promotes
gocd fellowship.
“¢«Come women feel that a cigarette
calms their nerves and helps their
brains into working order. Personally
smoking diffuses my thoughts instead
of concentrating them. I enjoy it as I
enjoy after-dinner coffee. Both are
pleasant ways of ending and finishing
off; both add to conviviality and good
fellowship.” ”
The editor of the Ohio State Jour
nal, it was clear, had been much in
censed at the apologies for the cigar
ette habit among women attributed to
Mrs. Wilson, so he wrote on Aug. 10
an editorial in which he called for the
defeat of Governor Wilson or a repu
diation from his wife. If there was no
mistake about it, he wrote, “Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson shouldn’t be mis
tress of the White House.”
If the Ohio editor was emphatic,
Mrs, Wilson was certainly not less so.
After the reporters had said they
would gladly publish her letter to the
Ohio editor she asked for an hour’s
time in which to write one. This was
what she prepared:
“Dear Sir—l have just received a
copy of the Journal with your editorial
entitled - ‘Smoking Women,” and I beg
leave to indignantly deny the state
ment that I approve of women smok
ing cigarettes. The interview upon
which your editorial was based is a
pure invention. I intensely dislike the
cigarette smoking habit for women—
in fact, so strong is my feeling on the
subject that my real danger lies in be
ing unjust and unkind in my judgment
‘of those who differ with me in this
- respect.
~ “But certainly no woman in our
household ever has or ever will smoke.
Quite apart from the bad taste of it, I
believe with you that it has an ex
tremely injurious effect on the nerves.
| “ELLEN A. WILSON.
| (“Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.”)
Governor Wilson, in approving the
Jetter sent out by Mrs. Wilson, offered
what he thought might prove an ex
planation.for the interview. {
“I éo wmot ‘think it was maliciously
fnvented,” he. sald. “There is a rather
well known writer who signs herseif
Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, and she nol
doubt has been confused with Mrs.
‘Wilson.” "
Mrs. Wilson Woodrow was formerly
married to a relative of Governor Wil
son, and it is understood that her
views on the matter of women who
smoke are different from those held
in the household of the Democratic
candidate. |

That is why I am bringing him up

discipline. He must be a credit to

Emperor William thus express

school of history and literature.
His majesty predicted that the end
of monarchism is in sight. ‘““All
