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. How About Mother Eve?

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 i while women are never short on that commodity called curiosity all of their ' male descendants may possibly inherit > this trait or disposition from their moth |,ers. i ■ • j 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 tials. > • 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. WHITE THANKSGIVING FOR OLD VIRGINIA WINCHESTER, Va..
