Carrying His Sisters to
A Home of DI Fame
My indignation was fatigued when 1
read of a young man who was arrested
in Atlanta in the .very act <» f conveying
his two sisters to a lewd house, there to
begin a life of shame and degradation, a
life that leads to present and eternal
death—temporal and spiritual. .
1 am not prepared to aay what extent
of punishment should be inflicted on a
man of such low character. He deserves
a great deal more than the law will put
on him. and he should vacate his place
and go where nobody will remember him
or this desperate effort to debase his sis
ters. He is an unworthy citisen as well
as an unworthy brother.
Perhaps their inclinations are also low,
as he made the plea that they were Intent
on going into this debased life; but there
was not a spark of worthy manhood left
in him when he thus encouraged his own
kith and kin Into destruction.
I can understand how a brother could
gain his consent to lead his sisters into a
den of vice and leave them to their fate
without a pang of remorse or blush of
shame.
Ts I had been the judge who sentenced
him I should have given him the limit
of the law. and then made a note on the
court records that he. the judge, had en
countered the meanest of mankind in a
brother who had thus outraged decency
and the common instincts of human
kind
There are numberless houses of ill
fame throughout this country, and they
seem to defy both grace and gospel, they
are so secure in their hold upon common
society. The poor girls who drift into
* them had much better be dead than to
enter their doors. With lust and liquor
the evil one can pull down faster than re
formers can build up. but these women
generally go there against the prayers
and entreaties of their home people in
spite of love and anxiety.
This heartless brother puts a new phase
on the subject that I had not considered
up to this time." He ought to be sent to
the roek pile, in my judgment, on gen
eral principles, because I would think
more of a common liar or thief thah a
degenerate who would thus consign his
own mother’s children to such a deep in'
depravity.
T thought once I had run across the
meanest creature alive when I was told
of a negro father who hired his own son
to a convict bolts, and saw the shackles
put on bls innocent child to keep him
In such employ. When he was reproved
for his consummate rascality he said he
was only showing his son what he “was
coming to.” because the boy surely would
wear the stripes some day
But this white brother who was caught
Ins the very act of carrying his own sis
ters to a brothel Is meaner than that ne
gro father—far meaner. He ought to
be branded, before he Is ever allowed to
go at large again, with big letters.
Farmers Sowing Grain
Btooe I have been, afflicted with an in
flamed eye I have been driving around in
the neighborhood keeping out tn the open
air and to amuse myself because the good
doctor who watches my eye tells me I
must read and write very little these
days while the eye gives me trouble.
• So the old pony and his mistress jog
along by the country roads (to steer
dear of automobile as much as possible)
and to enjoy this wonderful autumnal
weather and resist the temptation to read
and write according to Dr. Calhoun’s di
rections.
I see many things which indicate re
newed interest in farm life and its oppor
tunities. I see the plows running, and one
farmer I found uses a three-horse disc
plow to turn up and put his land In fine
order. '
I remarked to him. "You are going deep
this time.'’
"Tea, ma’am; ts you aim to keep fertil
ity in the soil you must plow deep."
There can be no good farming unless
there is good preparation of the soil.-
Tou may scratch the surface awhile but
yon must quit scratching or the soil will
wash off and leave you. I have often
wondered where all the fine soil went
that i found tn old Cass, now Bartow
eounty. 56 years ago.
. • A short time after I was married in Oc
tober. I*3. by husband and I rode oevr
his farm as he was anxious I might see
what he appreciated so highly.
1 rode a fairly tall horse and the cotton
stalks in many places were as high as
my waist as I rode along. I took a light
umbrella -to shade from the hot October
sun and I found the corn stalks were
away above my head and higher than I
could reach as we rode along between the
corn rows.
There was no guano known in those
days and except the plentiful sowing of
peas between corn rows there was no fer
tilisation used or needed in the fields to
grow fine corn.
Now I am asking myself where that
rich, fine soil went to. and I guess we
may conclude that it finally found its
way into the gulf of Mexico, because we
were not wise enough to keep it with us
by deep plowing and proper cultivation.
I also believe that guano overstimulates
the soil and makes it dull and sluggish
afterwards just as a dose of opium will
make you or I unhappy and heavy-eyed
next dag.
I am also satisfied we will never make
the land yield its best until we make a
business of raising enough cattle to fer
tilise the ground in a natural and healthy
way. Our farm has 100 acres in Burmutbt
sod. We ought to raise enough cattle to
make the Bermuda support them in pas
turing time and fill the barn-yards with
first-class fertilisers.

i cie about forbidden fruit in connection
I with Mother Eve’s history, that I thought
I I was very good. I cut it out and saved
I it. It had become the fashion to lay a
I whole lot of blame on Eve and indirectly
: on womenkind; and I thought your argu-
• ment was good and would bear using at
; some other time.
I ’So it sometimes happened that I would .
’be in company and hear women blamed
very heartily. Then I would reply that
t men always wanted the beat and woman
i like, just as • Eve did. women wanted
them to have the best, and were willing
i to share with them in good things to the
l uttermost.
"Afterwards I could bring out your let
ter to clinch the argument about Evo
.and her transgression, etc.
! "But I have lost your letter, can’t And
it anywhere, and I just want you to
’ take up the subject again and make it
as pointed as you can.
j “I do thank you for all your good ad
, vice and I also hope you may have many
happy, useful ears to write tor those of
us. who enjoy, all you write so greatly.
‘ I am your stranger friend, ””
! lam afraid I have forgotten all about
my former dissertation on Mother
Eve. and may not therefore be able to
repeat all I wrote several years ago.
But I do believe that Eve had more
native courage than had Adam, and if
Adam had led her wrong she would have I
• waited a long time before she would have
’ said. “Adam tempted me and I also ate
the apple.”
i For the sake of the family honor I
imagine Eve would have kept the se
’ cret instead of making the poor fellow
feel like he had no helpmeet at all. in
hlk downfall.
• The Lord said Adam was a fine piece
• of handiwork and he was, of course, but
he was not as brave as his smart wife.
, w|>o tasted that wonderful fruit, and it ■
v.as so good she persuaded Adam to eat
i also. I have no idea but Eve was try
ling to give pleasure to her consort. The
sweetmeat, whatever it was. she shared
with him. to her great sorrow, but she
was intent on giving him pleasure, not
trouble, when he partook.
. . We hear a great, deal about Eve’s curi
:; osity, but Adam can give her two in |
J the game-and-beat it, when It comes to;
' hearing about things. There are gossipy
I men as well as gadding women, and

When you hear any of the masculines
prating about the superiority, of sex, !
< don't fall to tell them that a stream
'• never rises higher than itls source. The
• mother couldn’t give them what she did ;
not possess within herself, and’while she
may not have been the smartest person
in the world, all he got she gave him, or
he would even then be lacking in essen

Carelessness in Coal Mines
After I read of the entombing of 460
miners in an Illinois coal mine In Sun
day's Journal, the whole day was cloud
ed with gloom and sadness to my* mind.
Those of us who are on the outside
and freely breathing clean air, cannot
understand or appreciate the feelings of
those persons who are caught like rats
in a dark trap, and must die from starva
tion if not suffocation, without being able
to send a word to the anxious ones on
the top of the ground. The horror of
such a situation is beyond limit and in
expressible.
I dreamed once that I had been burled
alive and when I awoke in an agony
of sweat and desperation, I thought I
had a fairly good impression of what
such suffering must be; but human
tongue can never express what the reai
: ity of such a situation would mean to
100 persons, hopelessly covered up in the
bowels of the earth, and struggling to
i breathe.
I scanned the newspaper account for a
reason for this awful catastrophe in Illi
nois, and it was admitted that a smolder
i Ing fire caught to supporting timbers and
suffocation from smoke completed the aw
ful tragedy. Os course, there will be a
I coroner’s Inquest, but it is more than
! likely that nothing will result in relief
from the investigation. Perhaps, too.
those who might suffer blame were among
the lost as it often happens in train
wrecks from careless disobedience of
. orders.
That there should be a remedy for such
carelessness goes without saying, but
there is also a recklessness with men ex
' posed to such accidents which is unae
-1 countable to a thinking mind.
Human life is about the cheapest thing
’ we know about, considering its real
! value, and nowhere is this statement more
clearly proven than in venturesome oc
’ cupations Hke coal mining and others.
People go along safely in close places
’ until they become Indifferent to danger.
Like the engineers and flagmen on a
■ railroad, they will escape danger until
' that awful time comes. when death
catches them going or coming. Stick to
: it long enough and death will have his
» inning—without fail.
i The extent of this Illinois mine disaster
s cannot be estimated in dollars or cents,
i The widows and orphaned children must
be brought in to this awful count, and
i no man can tell how far-reaching the
i loss will be. It Is useless to say one would
I never be a coal miner and expose life to
I suqh danger. Poverty has no law nor lim- I
it when It means plenty to eat with shel
, ter. and nothing but nakedness on the
L outside. But these mines should always
. be under surveillance.

NEWNAN STEWARDS
COMMEND BIGHAM
Former Congregation of Pastor
Whom Augusta Church Reject
ed Declares "We Believe Him
to Be Blameless and Pure.”
NEWNAN, Ga., Nov. 24.—At a called
meeting of the board of stewards of the
First Methodist church of Newnan this
morning, resolutions were adopted com
mending the character of Dr. R. J. Big
ham. Cordial appreciation and approval
of The Journal's attitude with reference
to press dispatches concerning Dr. Big
ham were expressed.
The resolutions follow:
“Resolved, That we, members of the
board of stewards of the First Methodist
church of Newnan, Ga.. most heartily
commend Dr. R. J. Bigham, who has
served our church for the past two years
faithfully, ably and efficiently; and we
desire In view of the press articles from
Augusta in regard to Dr. Bigham, to
heartily Indorse him and testify to his
high moral and religious character and
life while he has been pastor of our
church.
“And we desire further to say that
his conduct, life and character are, in
our judgment, blameless and pure.
(Signed) "B. T. Thomson, chairman; I.
T. Bradley, J. I. Scoggin, E. H. Bowman,
Z. Green, Eugene Askew, H. H. Murray,
H. H. North, W. G. Post, M. G. Keith,
F. G. Hughes, W. J. Murphy, E. N.
Goodwin, L. H. Hill, Garland M. Jones,
T. E. Atkinson, B. T. Manget, R. O.
Jones.’’
Journal Did Not Use
Story of the Protest
A full dispatch from Augusta, received
by wire at The Journal office Tuesday
morning, told of the action taken by cer
tain members of St. John’s church on the
preceding evening In protest against the
appointment of Rev. R. J. Bigham to their
pulpit by the North Georgia Methodist
conference.
This story was investigated. After the
full facts were known it was withheld
from publication out of consideration for
the Methodists of the state and for the
minister himself and his friends, though
The Journal was absolutely free to use
the dispatch.
The matter has, however, been widely
published. Since this is true, the facts of
the matter need not be withheld longer.
Several prominent members of St.
John’s congregation in Augusta gathered
Monday evenin and drew up a telegram
to Bishop E. R. Kendrlx, asking that Rev.
R. J. Bigham’s assignment to their pul
pit be cancelled and that another minis
ter be sent to that charge.
Rev. Mr. Bigham had been In Augusta
before, having served three years at St.
James’ at one time, antj having later re
turned to that churclr for another year
of service.
Bishop Hendrix left Atlanta Monday
afternoon at 5 o’clock for Memphis, to go
from there to Arkadelphia, Ark., to pre
side over the Little Rock conference. It
is doubtful whether the telegram from
the Augusta meeting has yet reached
him.
Rev. Bigham is one of the older minis
ters of the North Georgia conference,
having entered the itinerary in 1879 and
having, therefore, served 30 years as a
paster. He was pastor of the First Meth
odist church at Newnan unil the appoint
ments were read Monday afternoon, and
had completed his second successful year
at that charge when the change was
made.
He was pastor bf Trinity church in 1895,,
and was later for two years presiding el
der of the Atlanta district.
Rev. Bigham was suspended from the
North Georgia conference some three
years ago on the charge of drunkenness
which he himself admitted in open con
ference, when he plead for leniency. He
was afterwards reinstated. His friends
are indignant that the old matter should
have been reopened against him. They
say he is fully entitled to the confidence
they feel in him.
CHILDREN TOLD HOW
TO PRESERVE TEETH
Following the startling disclosure that
over 60 per cent of Atlanta school chil
dren don’t use a tooth brush, the Society
of Dental Surgeons has prepared and had
printed, at its own expense, a set of
rules which tell in detail how the teeth
should be cared for. Ten thousand copies
of these directions will be turned
to the medical Inspection department for
free distribution among the children.
In this generous act, the members of
the dental society have done pretty much
what a grocer would do, if he should
show his customers a plan for making
a sack of flour last twice as long as It
ordinarily does. The Atlanta society has
always, however, pursued just such a lib
eral policy of education and seems to
have considered It as much their duty
to keep people from coming to them as
to relieve patients after they have come.
It was at the last meeting of the society
that the idea of preparing and distribut
ing these rules free of charge was con
ceived. At that time the dentists dis
cussed the report of Dr. Stewart R. Rob
erts, medical Inspector, in which it wan
shown that 60 children out of ever 100
are not brushing their teeth, and that
887 out of 2,375 need treatment for their
teeth. A copy of the rules, which will
be of general Interest and service, fol
lows:
RULES FOR TEETH.
’’You can have good teeth If you keep
them clean.
“You should brush your teeth every
morning and night.
‘‘Wet your brush several times while
brushing and use a little powder on your
brush. Wash the mouth out twice after
brushing.
“Clean teeth do not decay and all de
cay begins from the outside of the teeth.
The nearer you keep your teeth clean,
the less decay you will have.
“Easily bleeding gums show disease and
need treatment.
"Brushing the teeth prevents toothache
and saves dental bills.
“Brushing the teeth -gives pretty teeth,
sound teeth and sweet breath.
“A bad condition of the throat, the nose
and the ears Is made worse by decayed
teeth. They add to the chances of catch
ing Infectious diseases. Well cared for
teeth and a clean mouth help prevent
tuberculosis.
“Cleanliness is the best guard against
disease.”
SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL
CHARGED WITH MURDER
WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 24.-Hattie Le-
Blanc, the 16-year-old French-Canadian
girl, was brought into the Waitham dis
trict court today and formally charged
with causing the death last Saturday
night of Clarence F. Glover, head of the
Waltham Laundry company. The young
woman was held without bail for hearing
on December 8.
The police do not accept the story she
told them last night that Glover took his
own life, nor do they think that Hattie
Leßlanc shot him.
