The man serv- It had done his best, and the peas Ire in bloom, the onions in blossom, 13 everything was lovely out of doors, ping had been extremely forward, anti F flowers were out in their glory. It the rain came and hail along with land afterwards dark sruyw-looking luds settled down, and the skies be- |n to “spit snow” on a late Sunday 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 >ry green thing in the garden was as pad as Hector.” In addition, a small- Jx panic broke out in Atlanta, and ine prisoners who had been exposed Ire hurried to Decatur jail, for Decatur Is the county site and there was no |ltpn county. I had the sorest vac- |ated arm in the family, and couldn’t to school, So there was a hurried Inily conference and a hasty move to p South river plantation. We were tting away from the smallpox panic, Imarily, but we were also facing a padful loss in a great wheat crop lich had been waist high and in full Issom. JYe were not “cotton-tot farmers,” It raised grain to supply a flour mill, lich was our chief source for revenue, le fruit loss was total, and the young rn was laid low'. The first freeze |ne on Sunday night, April 15. The pt Sunday morning we children were ken across the river by our father to b how the wheat fields looked, and py were dark yellow and the lately bmisirvg w'fceat stalks were flat on the pund. I remember hearing my father “If I should touch a match to this bd stufL it would burn like tinder.” piscuits were scarce in Georgia that We could not reach out then, as |w, to the wheat fields of Minnesota [Dakota. When the frost fell we had depend on cornbread as our chief bad food, and build tall rail pens to fcd the corn after the barns were filled the fall. But cornbread was fine! lien I remember black mammy’s de li ous egg-bread, made of corn meal |tirely, my mouth waters for a taste it! Did N we get along? Of course did! It’s our own failures that us trouble. The Heavenly Master vays provides a way. 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.

Why not be guided by the ex 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. From Mrs. HENRY HEAVILIN, Cadiz, Ohio. Fort' Worth, Texas. — “I have taken, Lydia E.

Eg*»Write to LYDIA E.PIJiKHAW MEDICINE CO. 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 hsith Naw York and Chicago a-DOluaiata FREE VEHICLE aiyO HARNESS CATALOG GOLDEN EAGLE AND WHITE STAR VEHICLES nr« built of th« finest materials the mar ket affords: designed for beauty, easy riding, lightness of draft, durability and permanent satisfaction.

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.

SWAINSBORO, Ga,, April 21.—With disappointment plainly evidenced in her features, Mrs. Mattie Flanders, the Emanuel county woman under indict ment for complicity in the murder of her husband, Fred Flanders, heal'd Judge Rawlings, of the superior court of Emanuel county, continue the case against her until the July term of the court. Mrs. Flanders and the members of l'er family were in court when it was determined that the circumstances de manded that the trial be postponed. 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 hanging over me.” The London Bridge Monument Captured Bv Militant- Dames ANOTHER NEW COUNTY IS NOW-PLANNED DEXTER.

STERILIZATION URGED BY GEORGIA DOCTORS SUFFRAGETTES ATTEMPT TO WRECK OLD LANDMARK Bomb Is Placed Under Old Smeaton Tower at Plymouth but Fails to Go Off (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.

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 standards of life. The anti-suffragist says the vote is the least part of good government. What we need is not to increase the electorate, but we do need to be specialists in our line. The work cf women has been fairly successful for the last nineteen -centuries. If men HAN I FI Q WII I ATTFMH have not been what they should what UHI,MtLO VVIL.L Hi l uniu can we say of the women who trained the men? “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 nels.” The committee adjourned to meet again Monday, when the “pros' heard. 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. * CRITICAL SITUATION IN PATTERSON MILL STRIKE Thirty-four Milt Owners Have Secured Permits to Car- - ry Revolvers PATERSON, N.
