AKE it ono year with another,
we usually have *a decidedly
cool spell about the middle of
bril. No matter if Easter comes,

I your garden seed early enough to
Itch this usual cold spell and what
[brings.

pst for the past several days, and
F young beans that my smarter
Pghbors have in their gardens look

[But I am old enough to talk to you
out the blizzard that fell on Georgia
the 15th and 16th of April, 1S49.
| you will count a little you will see
at it happened fust sixty-four years
p, for I am writing now' on the 15th
April, 1913, and setting before a
bwing wood fire , in an old-fashioned
|en fireplace, and it takes me back to
youth in a very direct way, and

in also a pleasant way.
If it was not so expensive and wood
I heavy to lift or handle, I’d sit by
■wood fire the “endurin’ ” winter. It
Irms my entire frame, and it is so
leering to gaze on the blaze and think
I the times when I roasted sweet po-
loes, and saw queer little figures as
fry danced over the red-hot coals
Iderneath the logs. But I must get
fk to my text.

It had done his best, and the peas

It the rain came and hail along with
land afterwards dark sruyw-looking
luds settled down, and the skies be-

lernoon. We had been’wearing spring
lire but we were glad to hunt for
lolen frocks and warm wraps.
For three nights we had heaVy frost,
Itil the oak trees were blackened and

pad as Hector.” In addition, a small-
Jx panic broke out in Atlanta, and

Is the county site and there was no

PURITANISM NOT A
3F BISHOP
PRESENT PERIL
W. A. CANDLER
THE POWER OP PRECEPT AND EX
AMPLE.
I chanced to read the following para
graph in an agricultural journal, w'hich
impressed me very much:
“Have you ever known what it is to
be encouraged to do right, not by being
told to do so, but by being near a man
stronger than yourself, whose mere
presence helped you so that you were
the stronger man because he was there?
There are men living today on the
strength of other men.”
If 3'ou will only indulge in retro
spection of your own experience in life,
this sentence will need no discussion as
to its truth and pertenaney. If we
could only lift the roofs from the ‘
homes around us and look in upon the
parents and the children we could easily
see what is hidden from the outside. We
would understand that so-called good
people are very often very unwise in
dealing with their dependents. They
fail when they are leaned upon. Some-
tmes they have not backbone worth a
cotton string to' enforce discipline, and
sometimes again they are so dictatorial
and dominating that their dependents*
are afraid to say a word in their own
behalf.
It is the faithful, discreet, helpful
persons who can be trusted, who can
give a reason for the belief that is
in them and who are ready to assist
in a time of trial and anxiety; these
are they who keep this old world bal
anced and pushing along in smooth
channels even as well as it is done. You
know somebody that you love or ad
mire for their example of goodness and
helpfulness. I do, numbers of them, and
who deserve a thousand times more
praise than they get.
A LOT OP TRYS.
BARNYARD WISDOM.
Said the rooster in the barnyard
To the rooster on the vane;
“I’m a mighty knowing fellow
At predicing when ’twill rain.
“For I cast my eye upon you
And observe which may it blows.
Then I rouse the farmer’s family
With my most sagacious crows.”
. So - to gain a reputation.
And to quaff of fortune^ cup
You will find the plan a good one—
Have a friend that’s higher up.
* —Life.
Try a sun bath for rheumatism. Try
a wet towel to the back of the neck
when sleepless. Try swallowing saliva
when troubled with sour stomach. Try
buttermilk for removal of freckles, tan
and butternut stains. Try taking your
cod liver oil in tomato sauce, if you
want to make it palatable. Try a hot
flannel over the seat of neuralgic pain,
and renew, it frequently. Try a cloth
wrung out’ from cold water, put about
the neck at night, for sore throat. Try
walking with your hands behind you,
if you find yourself becoming bent
forward. Try planting sunflotvers in
your garden- if compelled to live in a
malarial neighborhood.
I can recommend the hot flannel over
the seat of a neuralgic pain; also the
cloth wrung out in cold • water and
applied to a sore throat, but don’t for
get to tie dry .towels over the wet
ones, if expect to be helped. But
some reader of the Country Chib col
umn may have more of these ^Trys,”
and I shall be glad to chronicle them.
I do not believe in much medicine on
the inside of the body, but I do be
lieve a whole lot in these outside ap
plications. I found a Red Cross plas
ter good on a rheumatic joint and hot
water bandages are splendid in an in
flamed limb, and a hot water douche is
great for old people whose machinery
has become worn and wobbly. Water
is great remedial agent, any way,
and is a rarely good tonic taken on an
empty stomach as soon as you get up
in the morning. It seems to flush the
System and aide in digestion.
From 40 to 50 Woman’s Critical Period.
Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot
flashes, severe headaches, melancholia, dread of impending
evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularity, constipation and
I dizziness are promptly treated by intelligent women who
[are approaching the period of life.

perience of others and take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
[Compound? It is an indisputable fact that this grand old
[remedy has helped thousands of women to pass through
[this trying period with comfort and safety. Thousands of
[genuine and honest testimonials support this fact.

w-V (CONFIDENTIAL) LYNN, MASS., for advice,
li'our letter willbe opened, read and answered
T HERE Is a certain class of people
who seem to live in mortal dread
- of Puritanism. If a moral issue
arises in the community, they assume
at once an attitude of opposition to the
side of the right, and denounce it as
“a piece of Puritanism.” Apparently
they ueljeve that all virtue is Puritan
ism, and that Puritanism is the sum ot
all evil. For every moral irregularity
they have a defense and for every one
who condemns such laxity they have a
blow. In their minds aU moral values
are confused.
It may be of use to these people, ana
to others whom they easily mislead, to
call attention to Tacts which show that
Puritanism is our remotest possible
peril at this time.
No nation, as rich and prosperous
as ours, was ever in danger of being
“too strait laced” during such a period
of opulence and luxury as the present.
We would be prodigies of virtue, with
out precedent in any land or age, if
our abounding wealth did not lead us
toward luxury and license rather than
toward plain living and over-scrupu
lousness. But we are not so prodigious
ly pure. We are no better than other
nations who have been corrupted by
plenty and polluted by prosperity. The
evidence of wide-spread licentiousness
and demoralizing excesses meet the eye
on every side.
More than 100,000 divorces were
granted by the courts of the United
States last year. The number of di
vorces to marriaegs in our country
shows a proportion several times as
the fanatical fancy of the most morbid
Puritan imagine all the wickedness,
great as the ratio in Europe. Can
wretchedness and woe implied by such
startling figures? Can any words over
state the dishonor to men, the disgrace
to women, and the disaster to innocent
children involved in 100,000 divorces a
year?
Travelers, coming among us from
lands where we have been accustomed
to think immorality is more gross and
prevalent than in our own country, are
shocked by what they find in our cities.
For example, the papers report that
Lina Cavalieria says that New York
is far more wicked than Paris. Refer
ring to the vile dances which are now
the adjunct to most of the hotels and
restaurants of New York, she declares
that the Parisian 'cabarets, found in
the boulevard establishments and the
resorts of the Latin Quarter, are tame
in comparison with similar places in
New York. She ought to know whereof
she speaks. Doubtless she does; apci
certainly she speaks as one who is very
far removed from any Puritanic point
of view. When New York shocks by its
excesses a Parisian prima donna, and is
not shocked itself it? is high time for
the rest of the country to be shocked
and to call a halt on these enormities.
The moral conditions in Chicago seem
quite as bad, if we may trust the press
reports of the statet of things revealed
by the investigations of the Illinois
Vice Commission.
Here are some of the statements con
tained in the press dispatches:
CHICAGO, April 12.—Agents of
the Illinois vice commission late
last night and* early today brought
consternation to the fashionable
guests of two downtown restaurants
—Recetor’s and the States—against
whose reputations there rested no
question except the nature of their
cabaret entertainments.
From these cafes only the mana
gers and members of the cabaret
shows were # subpoenaed. They
were questioned by the vice commis
sion as to “smut” songs which
were alleged features of cabarets..
From the tenderloin men and
. women sightseers, out “slumming,”
were gathered in and brought before
the commission. One woman in
hysterical fear of disgrace, tried to
jump from a window when the in
vaders with their subpoenas reach*
a • restaurant in the \'ice district.
’ Another fell on her knees and wept.
A man jammed a roll'of bills into
the hands of an officer.
“Take this, for God’s sake,” he
cried, “and let my partner go. You
don't know what this means.”
Officers kept the rushing mob,
some laughing hysterically, from
the doors and finally restored or
der. Then they were bundled into
automobiles and taken downtown.
“The manager of a well known
restaurant said the restaurant busi
ness had degenerated into a vaude
ville show, and he did not know
where it would stop.
O. B. Stimson, manager of an
other downtown restaurant, assert
ed the business had drifted into a
show but he was compelled to put
up a first class cabaret to get
trade. He was of opinion that some
popular songs have gone too far.
He said guests did the “bear”
dance in the aisles between the ta
bles, but that they never got “raw.”
Senator Beall said he saw girls
not more than 15 or 16 years old
imbiding mixed drinks in the cafe,
and some of them were more or less
intoxicated.
Mrs. Maud Joseph did the singing
and dances at a downtown restau
rant. She said in one dance the
performer “might just as well have
had no skirts at all.”
Such scenes rival the sins of Sodom,
and one would suppose that none would
be bold enough to defend .such puru
lent performances. But even these vile
things are defended.
A woman engaged in one of the res
taurants investigated is reported to
have said:
“There is nothing out of the way
ill the song ‘All Night Long.’ It is all
in the way you sing it. Some people
are so weak-minded that they will take
up anything.”
And so this wretched creature as
sumes airs of superior mind, and affects
to look down upon decent people who
condemn such brazen debauchery as a
“weak-minded” lot. She mistakes her
loss of virtue for an acquisition of
intellectual power—a common delusion
of both men and women when their
principles become lax and their con
duct becomes reprehensible.
The press dispatches add these furth
er paragraphs which show the disposi
tion of this shameless licentiousness to
excuse its reeking vileness:
“The professionals who led the
dance said they had tried to elimi
nate anything which might appear
sensual in their act, but admitted
they might not have been entirely
successful.
“ ‘Don’t you think that where you
see art, others might see vice?’
asked Mr. O’Hara.
“‘I guess it appeals differently.*
but I do not see anything obscene'
about it,’ was a reply.
“From some of them the sena
tors drew reluctant admissions that
a few of the songs and dances
‘might be’ suggestive and. ‘perhaps,
had a bad effect on the diners.’ A
girl singer, crying as she testified,
asserted she never would sing ‘In
My Harem,’ a song Lieutenant Gov
ernor O’Hara was particularly in
quisitive about.”
It would seem that Satan himself
would not have the brazen effrontery to
defend such scandalous indecency; but in

for such excesses abound.
And there are people in cities, not so
large as New York and Chicago, who
will readily accept the senseless notion
that these enormities are entirely prop
er because they prevail in these “metro
politan” centres. An ill-bred boor is
so uncertain of his standing in society
that he is afraid to turn away from con
ventional immoralities lest some one
discover that he is a “green-horn”. An
ignorant and untravelled person is very
disposed to indulge the silly delusion
that whatever is in a large city is
right. The morbid desire to appear
“cosmopolitan” is the unfailing mark of
such bumptious vulgarians. They know
so little of the world that they imagine
the universal and unchangeable princi
ples of morality are only the provincial
customs of unfashfcmable circles. They
do not know who the Puritans were, but
with the glib tongue of ignorance, unem
barrassed by the knowledge of its own
lack of information, they prate of Puri
tanism wTienever they are called upon
to behave decently. ' They can not tell
the difference between the Ten Com
mandments and the fictitious “blue-
law's” that were manufactured in Lon
don by a runaway tory who was ex
pelled from the colony of Connecticut.
If these ignoramuses, with their mo
dish affectations' of • education, knew
anything of history or the moral law,
they would know Puritanism is not a
present peril in the United States.
The real danger which ,threatens our
nation is licentiousness and lawlessness.
Serious people of all classes should
unite to remove the moral evils which
menace the very life of the Republic.
It is no time to heed silly women and
senseless men who clamor for greater
indulgences.
Atlanta, and neighboring cities of the
same class, are not as free from these
disgraceful things as some might sup
pose, and the infeetkm will spread if
not vigorously restrained at once. Let
the moral pestilence be stamped out be
fore it becomes unmanageable.
WILSON TAKES FIRST
REST AS PRESIDENT
President Stays Away From
Executive Office' bn Sat
urday for a Ride
WASHINGTON, April 21.—President
Wilson took a day off for the first time
since hi« inauguration. He did not
come to the executive office, but he spent
the morning in his study in the White
House and planned a long ride in the
afternoon.
Secretary Tumulty, realizing that the
president has been working under ex
treme pressure, kept the engagement list
for the day absolutely blank, and de
ferred all business until Monday. Mr.
Tumulty himself handled visitors, but
told all the president must have at
least one day of recreation to keep his
mind clear for work. The president has
always been a believer in the half
holiday idea on Saturday, but he has
bad little oportunity to observe it for
some time.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 21.—Mrs. Wil
liam Cummings Story, of New York,
head of the conservative faction, last
night was elected president general of
the society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, defeating Mrs.
John Miller Horton, of Buffalo, the ad
ministration candidate, on the third bal
lot J The vote stood:
Mrs. Story, 600; Mrs. Horton, 449.
Seven vice presidents general also
were elected to complete the comple
ment of new general officers. They
were.
Mrs. Thomas Kite, of Ohio; Mrs. Rhett
Goode, of Alabama; Mrs. John Swift, of
California; Mrs. Allen P. Perley, of
Pennsylvania; Mrs. Ben F. Gray, Jr., of
Missouri: Miss Harriet I. Lake, of Iowa;
and Mrs. John Lee Dinwiddie, of In
diana.
Three vice presidents general were
elected on the first ballot.
The result of the third ballot was an
nounced and the successful candidate
was escorted to the platform. She was
greeted by Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, retir
ing president general, and began her
speech. She made a plea for harmony
and urged all the new general 'officers
to do their utmost to bring peace be
tween the factions that have waged an
almost continuous warfare for the last
five years.
German Makes Claim
His New Serum Will
Prevent Diphtheria
(By Associated Press.)
WIESBADEN, Germany, April 21.—
The discovery of a method of prolonged
immunization against diphtheria consist
ing of an injection of a mixture if diph
theritic toxine and anti-toxine, was an
nounced today by Prof. Emil Van Beh
ring, of the University of Marburg, at
th*e Congress of Internal Medicine now
in session here.
Adequate tests of the new method in
the clinics of Madeburg have shown
that the treatment was harmless and ef
fective. The earlier attempts to im
munize by means of Behring’s original
diphtheria serum, were unsuccessful, a3
t'he immunity was very brief.
Prof. Behring offers to supply clinics
with the new prophylactic under proper
guarantees of observation and registra
tion.

Emanuel county woman under indict
ment for complicity in the murder of
her husband, Fred Flanders, heal'd
Judge Rawlings, of the superior court

Mrs. Flanders and the members of

The defendant was much disappointed.
In her brusque, direct way she did not
hesitate to let it be known.
“It’s a plum shame,” she said to her
attorneys and those about her. “They
ought to/have tried this case so that 1
could be freed from the charge that is

A mass meeting has been called by

Bomb Is Placed Under Old

(By Associated Press. 1
PLYMOUTH, Eng., April 21.—A mil
itant suffragette “bomb troop” * this
morning attempted to blow up the fa
mous Smeaton ower on Plymouth Noe.
The tower is the original # Eddystone
light house built by John Smeaton in
1756-59, dismantled when it became an
tiquated and re-erected on the Noe as a
historic relic.
As in many instances of recent date
the bomb prepared by the militant suf
fragettes failed to explode. It consisted
of the usual cylindrical tin canister
filled with explosive and wet fuse at
tached at the top. The bomb was placed
by the women under the Entrance gate
of the tower. The fuse had been lighted
but was apparently put out by the wind.
On the cylinder was painted in bold
letters the words:
“Votes for women! Death in ten min
utes!” while all around was scattered
suffrage literature.
URGES WHIPPING POST
FOR THIS HUSBAND
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
DALTON, Ga., April 21.—When Andy
Hash, charged with mistreating his
wife, was arraigned before superior
court here Thursday, Judge A. W. Fite
stated that he didn’t know but what a
revival of the old-time whipping post
would be the best way to deal with such
lawbreakers.
Hashes wife was present, and at her
request Judge Fite continued the case,
putting the defendant on his good be
havior.
WASHINGTON, April 21.—A throng
of anti-suffragists appeared today in the
capitol prepared to protest to the sen
ate woman suffrage committee against
any constitutional amendment giving
the right of franchise to their sex. They
expressed regret that only two hours
had been allotted them in which to pre
sent their arguments, but they settled
down to make the- best of their time.
Among the principal speakers to pre
sent the,view of the oposition to woman
suffrage were Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge,
president of the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage; Mrs. A. J.
George, secretary of the Massachusetts
branch of the organization, and Mrs.
Lucy J. Price, one of its foremost lec
turers and workers.
The women also brought with them
letters of protest from many anti-suf
fragists throughout the country. Among
them were arguments written by Kate
Douglas Wiggin and Molly Elliot Sea-
well, authors, who condemned the suf-
rage cause.
Miss Alice Paul and several other
leaders of the suffragist cause had
places near the committee table and
listened to arguments of the “antis.”
Dr. Mary Walker, who has the statu
tory right to wear trousers, sat just
behind Chairman Thomas.
Mrs. William L. Putnant, v f Massa
chusetts, read a paper by Kate Douglas
Wiggin, the author.
WOMAN’S PLACE.
“I cannot believe that the ballot is
the first or the next or the best thing
to work for,” she read. “I want wo
man to be a good home maker, a good
mother and a loyal, intelligent, active
citizen, but above all, to be a helpful,
stimulating, inspiring force in the
world, rather than a useful and influ
ential factor in politics. It is even
more difficult to be an inspiring woman
than a good citizen and an honest voter.
“A woman’s job, to my mind, is with
other women, with children, aiid with
men, who, next to children, are most de
pendent upon what she thinks and says
and does ,and is. I would have woman
strong enough to keep just a trifle in
the background; the limelight never
makes anything grow.”
Molly •Elliott Seawell told the com
mission in a letter that nin^feent states
could be counted upon to vote against
an amendment to the constitution giv
ing women the ballot.
‘The first fruits of the amendments,”
the letter stated, “would be rto admit
negro women to the polls when elevent
states have successfully defied the fed
eral government in any effort to admit
negro men to the 'polls.”
Miss Lucy J. Price wrote of cam
paigning against suffrage before the re
cent election in Michigan.
EMBARRASSING POSITIONS.
“They charged me with being in the
employ of the liquor interests, of ihe
breweries, and said that although I was
called ‘Miss Price,’ T was the wife of a
saloonkeeper,” she said.
“That is the position you will put
your wives and your daughter^in if you
vote for woman suffrage. They will lay
themselves open to just suck attack.
Sufferage would put every woman in
politics, altht)tgh the suffragists say it
would not, because some time of other
a woman w'ould have to get into poli
tics to help a friend or a friend of her
husband to beat an enemy. It’s not a
pleasant prospect.”
Mrs. George declared more legislation
necessary to guard women workers had
been passed in states where women do
not vote.
“The suffragist.” she said, “says the
woman should vote so as to raise the

“It is not a question of right or of
inferiority or superiority, but a question
of what is expedient for the state.. The
anti-suffragettes believe that it is not
expedient that the motherhood of the
state be drafted off into political chan

LONDON, April 21.—A number of
enterprising suffragettes this morning
took possession of “the monument'’
which stands near the northern approach
to London bridge and commemorates
the greut fire which destroyed the city
of London in 1666. *
Ascending to the topmost balcony,
they displayed tw^ flags and an im
mense banner In cne suffragette colors
on each of which was written in white
letters on a black background:
“Victory or death!”
Having securely fastened the Hays
to the railings surrounding the bal
cony, the women padlocked themselves
inside the tower, preventing the police
from ascending the winding stairease
of 345 steps leading to the top.
YThen they took up their positions on
a balcony and showered suffrage lit ;a-
ture among the crowds which gathered
below.
For a long time traffic was suspended
in one of the busiest districts of Lon
don.
The suffragettes maintained their po
sition on the^monument for more than
an hour.
While they were “holding the lort
a heavy missile thrown from the -op
of the monument narrowly missed rn-
juring-«a number of spectators. 1
The police eventually had to requisi
tion the services of a locksmith, vvhoj
forced the door at the bottom of the
shaft. When the police appeared in
the street escorting the women who ruul
defied them so long, the spectators be
came so threatening that the constables
were compelled* to take their prisoners
back into the monument until .rein
forcements arrived. *
