AN EARliT FROST.
My neighbors are discussing the early
frost that fell on us last Sunday night,
October 19 and, and they are saying,
“Hid you ever?”
Yes, I saw what a killing frost did
for us in the year 1856, fifty-seven years
ago, which came on the third Sunday
in September, and everything green was
black within twenty-four hours. We
had ripe peaches on the trees, late fall
peaches, and they were so badly scorch
ed with cold that they were no good any
more. The cotton crop was cut short
' and late fodder corn was spoiled,
• crisped with cold.
The week preceding was as torrid hot
as July, and on Friday afternoon after
2 o’clock we had a record thunder storm
and torrents of rain for hours.
There was a Primitive Baptist asso
ciation in session some ten miles north
of our house, and the delegates from
Paulding and Haralson counties were
caught at our house on their way, seek
ing shelter from the storm. We made
down pallets that night after the beds
were overflowed, and the kitchen was a
lively place where dozens were to cook
for and serve, and the storm still rag
ing out of doors. It was a night to
be remembered.
Next morning the delegates continued
their journey, but the air was so crisp
and already turning so; cold that their
summer clothes looked chilly, to say the
least of them. By Saturday night the
blizzard was in hearing, and by Sunday
• rooming we had not only a frost, but a
freeze, as before stated.
Four years ago, in October, 1909, we
had a hail storm that was like a snow
storm, but we escaped the freeze or
black frost at that time.
The frost of this year has not been
destructive, because there was no top
crop on the cotton except in low places.
Corn was already made and fodder pull
ed. Some hay was lost because of the
scarcity of labor in the cotton fields,
and the cotton was bringing such good
prices that it must be attended to.
Take one year with another, our gra
cious Heavenly Father orders wisely anu
well!
Dear Mrs Felton:, As I see quite a
good many of your old readers are writ
ing you * and expresing their great ap
preciation of yout letters and advice, I
deemed it my duty to do the same, as
I have been a constant subscriber to
The Journal for years, and have ad
mired your letters from the day you
wrote your first one many years ago.
Would to God our young people and
(especially the young ladies of the south.)
would read carefully al you write and
heed your timely advice, for it is very
easy to see that our young ladies are
fast losing that modesty and noble
ness of demeanor which has always giv
en the south the name of having the
most modest and defined womanhood of
any country on the globe, and I feel like
Hon/ Ben Tillman was right when he
says that association is having a great
deal to do with making the change.
Dear madam, if it will not be making
this too long I would like to say that
I, too, have some valuable home reme
dies that would save your readers many
dollars in doctors’ fees, and if any par
ties interested, will write me inclosing
self-directed stamped envelopes, I will
agree to take time from my every day
business to answer them. These reme
dies are, towit: One that will cure con
sumption, if not too far gone. I have
cured five cases in last few years.
A remedy for chills and fever, with
out medicine.
One to cure a severe cold without med
icine.
One for hemorrhagic fever, for whoop
ping'cough in a few days; a sure cure
for indigestion, dysentery or costiveness,
one for insomnia; one for erysipelas;
for old sores, for sore eyes; for cramp
colic, for stopping qropy coughs, in chil
dren at night, one for biliousness.
We have used these remedies suc
cessfully for quite a while.
May you live many years yet, in
which to oontinue your letters and good
advice.
Yours truly,
J. L. BOYNTON, SR.
THE PANKHURST INCIDENT.
I am glad that President Wilson, in
his good judgment and with common-
sense wisdom, allowed Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst to come and go, without per
mitting anybody to think that she was
a martyr to her cause in this country.
If she had been forbidden, then there
■would have been a hue and cry of per
secution, etc. She seems to be a mild-
mannered perscm in the United States
and if she should break loose at any
time, then it will be time enough for
coercion, etc.
-I really think the English authorities
might learn a good deal from the mod-
You will enjoy the white
ness and lightness of
bread made with
erate counsels of President Wilson.
While I do not believe in the sort of
militancy advocated by Mrs. Pankhurst
and her following, in the city of Lon
don, it is manifestly apparent that un
necessary violence has aggravated the
militants, and is responsible for much
objectionable Conduct, on the part of
the unwise officials as well as these vio
lent women agitators. There is a right
and a wrong way to conduct public
business, and it is never a good way to
try violence until after all peaceable
means have been tried and have failed.
President Wilson understood that Mrs.
Pankhurst was not a criminal person
when she arrived in the United States,
and was not to be handled as a criminal,
until she had violated United States
law. She had been tried under English
law, served out her sentence and was
free to come and go on English soil. It
was very imprudent to arrest her on
suspicion in New York harbor, and the
good sense of the president averted a
real difficulty.
COMMUNION WINE FORMS
Whether or Not Unfermented
Wine Shall Be Used Stirs
World’s Leaders
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—The Worlds
Woman Christian Temperance union
convention adopted a resolution today
requesting the house of bishops of the
Protestant Episcopal church to “con
sider the propriety” of using unfer
mented wine at the communion in place
of fermented wine.
The resolution was a substitute for
one originally offered setting forth
that fermented wine “could not truly
represent the blood of Christ.”
The phrase was objected to by Eng
lish delegates who argued that it would
antagonize the church of England.
The objection was voiced by Miss
Agnes E. Slack, honorary secretary of
the organization, who said the bishop
of Lincoln told her the church of Eng
land could not offer the sacrament in
unfermented wine and that the arch
bishop of Canterbury told her:
“If you pass such a resolution I shali
use my influence to see that no mem
ber of the Anglican church joins your
organization.”'
Episcopalians Refuse
To Adopt Grape Juice
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—The 1913 con
vention of the Protestant Epescopal
church passed into history this after
noon in deadlock on two important reso
lutions with the most far reaching topic
of legislation unconsidered by one house
because of an error in the other and with
a positive refusal to consider a request of
the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union
that unfermented grape juice be substi
tuted for communion wine.
On the proposal to establish a separate
bishopric for negroes in the south and
on the proposed elimination of the words
“Jews, Turks, Infidels and Heretics”
from the Good Friday Collect, the house
of bishops and the house of deputies
were deadlocked. On the proposal to
require a two-thirds vote to change
the name of the church, adopted by the
deputies, the bishops refused to act
because the resolution was sent to them
only yesterday, while it was adopted
by the lower house days ago.
For two weeks the draft of this radi
cal measure lay beneath waste paper
on the secretary’s desk. Its presence
there was not detected until yesterday.
In the entire membership of the house
of deputies not one man dreamed that
the resolution was not before the
bishops.

MILITANT ARSON SQUAD
DESTROYS BIG PAVILION
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Oct 27.—Militant suffra
gettes today set fire to the sports pa
vilion of Bristol university. If was
destroyed. They left the usual tell-tale
suffragette literature scattered about
the grounds.
The public prosecutor decided today
that he would not proceed against "Gen
eral” Flora Drummond, who was taken
111 last June while proceedings were in
progress against her for infringement
of the malicious damage act. She un
derwent an operation and since then con
tinually has been in ill health.
Lloyd-George Believes Suffs
Will Win “Within School Time”
SWINDON, England, Oct. 27,—Chan
cellor of the Exohequer Lloyd-George
believes that a measure giving the par
liamentary suffrage to women in the
British Isles will become a law “with
in a short time,” but not during the
present parliament. He said this today In
reply to questions put to him by a
deputation from a number of suffrage
societies. “But I want to say,” he add
ed, “that the miltant tactics adopted by
a section of the women have converted
many people’s indifference Into some
thing like bitter hostility.”
“The miltants’ section of the suffra
gettes,” continued Chancellor Lloyd-
George, “have created a situation which
is the worst I have ever seen for wom
an suffrage in parliament, I am glad to
see that the spirit of militancy is wlth-
erin.”
Ll'oyd-George advised the women to
"undertake pilgrimages, for that is how
the women have won the vote in other
countries."
Brutal and Brutalizing
lBY BISHOP
W.A. CANDLER
T HE possession of the faculty of
reason does not assure the ex
ercise of it more than the own
ership of money assures the wise use
of it. Hence that which is good men
often assail unreasonably and the
worst evils are often defended by
them most earnestly. A fashionable
fad stands fast in the face of facts
before which it ought to fall, and cus
tom /coerces consciences.
Here, for example, is the mania for
inter-collegiate games, which can not
be defended reasonably, and which
nevertheless prevails to the hurt of
students physically, mentally and mor
ally. Grave instructors occasionally
put forth specious apologies for the
evil; but everybody knows that no col
lege . authorities in the land would
hesitate to prohibit It, if it were not
so popular among certain classes.
From time to time the public is in
formed that these sports, which kill
have been reformed and their evil fea
tures have been eliminated. But aftfer
all such assurances the evil goes on as
before, and multitudes of young men
are maimed in body, damaged in
mind, and injured in morals,—and
some are even killed outright. The
collegiate year just begun already
shows the worst of records. In the
matter of bodily injuries alone no year
has made a worse “score.”
Under date of October 15 the follow
ing press dispatch was sent out from
Chicago:
Chicago, October 16.—The weekly
list of football injuries is appalling
as compared with record of “cas
ualties” in combats of ten years
ago, according to an authority on
the gridiron game writing today in
The Chicago Daily News.
Despite the new rules, many of
which were designed to eliminate
roughness and lessen chance of In
jury, the "new” game makes the
“old” look like a parlor pastime, he
says.
The critic does not blame the
present code or method of play for -
all injuries, but says the changes
have, in part, defeated their very
purpose because they are responsi
ble for the loss of the skill with
yvhich old-time players avoided in
jury.
He cites the instance of one Uni
versity of Chicago player weighing
only 142 pounds, who went through
four seasons under the old rules,
carrying the ball more than any oth
er players on his team and yet
asked for “time out” only once.
Several years later a successor to
this player, weighing more him- I
self, but opposing men of less
weight than the “old-timers,” was
taken out in his first college game,
suffering more bruises than the
first named got In his whole ca
reer.
Reports in the daily papers concern-
-snf until ejom ssuinS- •reinanjud Sui
tify this general statement of this
“authority on the grid-iron game.”
Here are a few facts as reported in
the papers recently during two days
only. Prom New Haven, Connecticut,
comes this report:
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 16.—
During football practice on Yale
field this afternoon Martlng, cen
ter on the varsity, and Thompson,
a halfback, received injuries which
will probably keep them out of the
Lehigh game Saturday. Marting
received a cut on the head and
Thompson turned his ankle. These
injuries bring the “hospital squad”
up to thirteen.
Think of that! Thirteen students
laid up in the “hospital squad” at one
time by injuries in inter-collegiate
games! Does any sane man .-believe
that health, or mental culture or mor
ality is promoted by such brutal
sports?
Prom Tuscaloosa, Ala., on the same
date as the report from New Haven,
comes this dispatch:
TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Oct. 16.—
On account of Injuries of a more or
less serlpus nature received by his
varsity men recently, Coach Graves
has cut out all scrimmage work
for the remainder of the week.
This decision was reached before
practice yesterday, following a con
ference of the head coach with his
assistants. Alabama wants to be
able to present her best line-up
against Georgia Saturday.
Among those suffering at pres
ent from bruises and strains are
Captain Vandergraff, halfback;
Jones, halfback; Harsh, halfback;

Philadelphia, Pa. — “ Lydia E. Pink

claim it to be. About two or three
days before my periods I would get bad
backaches, then pains in right and left
sides, and my head would ache. I called

did not get well so I took Lydia E. Pink

Prom a dispatch dated Athens, Ga„
Oct. 16 this record of Injuries is ex
tracted :
At the present time not many
more men could be hurt and still
leave a team at the university.
Practically every man is either out
or suffering from a sprain. This
is no cry of wolf. The men are
really hurt. Just why so many
should get the jinx at one time is
not known. The team was given
plenty of time to work into condi
tion slowly, and there is no rea
son for the great number of in
juries. However, whether there Is
a reason or not, the hurts are
there and the men are not.
Prom a report of the game between
the teams of Yale and Lehigh on Oct.
18 is taken this statement:
“Captain Flick, of Lehigh, sus
tained a broken collar bone in the
first period, and Kuhn took his
place at left half.”
This was printed under the caption,
“Yale Smashes Lehigh’s Leader.”
From a report sent out from Auburn,
Ala., on Oct. 16 we learn:
“Auburn team came through the
Florida game In good shape. The
cripples are getting along very
well, and in about another week
Auburn will have Its full strength
on the gridiron.”
Although the Aubnrn team came
through this recent game in what is
called “good shape,” it appears that
there are a bunch of cripples down
there.
In a game at Ithaca, New York, on
Oct. 18 the press dispatches report:
“Fritz was carired off the field ’
In the last 'period. His Injuries are
not considered serious.”
These dispatches cover the record
for two days only—October 16 and 18.
But still the deadly work goes on. In
the newspapers of October 21 appeared
the following:
KANKAKEE, Ill., Oct. 20.—R. J.
Kramer, twenty-one years old, died
today from injuries received In a
football game two-minutes before
the end of play yesterday.
With such a daily record of injuries
and deaths we ought not to be sur
prised by this dispatch from Boston:
BOSTON, Oct. 15.—“American
football is altogether too brutal,”
said Prince Madikanex Q. Cole, of
Zululand, who has been studying
this subject as the guest of the
family of Robert T. P. Storer, cap
tain of the Harvard, varsity foot
ball team.
It Is not surprising that this Zulu
prince sees the brutality of these
games; but it is amazing that men
claiming culture and professing Chris
tianity will not see what is manifest
to even a half-savage eye.
But physical injuries are not all the
evils which attend these games.
Around them gather moral evils that
are worse than bodily hurts. Gamblers
gather about them and gambling
springs from them.
In a dispatch from Maeon, Ga., un
der date of October 16 occur these
words:
“Even money on the campus is
being offered that Tech will not
score more than four touchdowns
on Mercer.”
Prom Birmingham, Ala., under date
of October 17 (before the game be
tween the teams of the University of
Alabama and the University of Geor
gia) comes a dispatch containing
this statement:
“There has been very little bet-
tlsg on the game, and what has
been wagered has been at even
money.”
Two days in advance of the game
the betting had begun “at even
money.” Who can say to what
lengths it went later?
These games are brutal and brutaliz
ing. If they prevailed among the
worst classes, they would deserve the
severest condemnation; but prevailing
among college students they should
receive the more pronounced opposi
tion from all good people. They are
striking a brutal and brutalizing
blow at the top of our civilization.
They are degrading college ideals by
setting the brutal player above the
earnest student as the hero of the
academic community.
They distract by unwholesome ex
citement the minds of students in col
lege, and thereby they impair the qual
ity of their scholarship. It is not
strange that the work of the literary
societies in some institutions is not
what it once was. With the students
yelling after games all over the land,
how can we expect them to be in
terested in the debating societies
or care for intellectual contests?
These games draw after them Sun
day travel when the young men ought
to be in the churches, and they lead
to gambling and to association with
gamblers.
These Intercollegiate games do also
increase the expenses of a college
course while reducing the benefits of
such a course, thereby they force par
ents to pay more money to send their
boys to college and get less good for
the money thus expended. They rob
fathers and ruin sons.
WHEN ROMANCE
The Evening Story
%
A CHILD'S LAXATIVE
IS “SYRUP OL FIGS”
Jane Maybee, at her window darning
stockings, looked out and saw two people
coming toward the house—two young
people, greatly interested in each other.
It was her niece, Althea, and Howard
Adams. Althea was a tall, thin, pale
girl, who looked just as her mother had
looked at her age. Jane was aware of
the resemblance now, and she sighed.
Althea’s mother had been her older sis
ter, and she had married the man Jane
had wanted for herself. She wondered
now quaintly if there was not some
other girl who liked Howard as well as
Althea did. If there was such a girl
Jane felt sorry for her. Obviously, Al
thea would have Howard if she wanted
him. He would not be able to say no
to her.
Since the death of her sister Jane had
lived in the house with Althea and her
father, a salesman, who was much from
home. She had two upper front rooms,
which she had furnished herself. She
kept Althea company, and she was more
content there than she had been in the
other place where she had lived.
Below Howard and Althea were sepa
rating reluctantly. At last Howard
lifted his hat and turned away, and
Althea came in, slamming the hall door
until the old-fashioned fanlights shiv
ered. She came pounding upstairs and
burst into the room where Jane sat.
“Aunt Jane," she said, “Howard and I
Eire going to be married."
Jane tried to think of the right thing
to say. “That’s very nice, dear,” she
managed, finally.
“We’re going to be married in two
weeks—next time father comes home.
There’s no reason for waiting any long
er. I shall have a white dress—silk, I
guess—and I shall be married downstairs
in the parlor. We’re going to Niagara
Falls for ten days; then we’ll come back
here. We’ve been in the park talking
steady for two hours. He agreed to
everything. I guess I shall be able to
manage Howard. Mother always man
aged father.” She laughed.
Jane did not speak. She darned stead
ily, but her fingers were growing shaky.
“Those are my stockings, aren’t they?”
demanded Althea. “I guess they’re all
right. I hate to darn stockings. I don’t
know what I’ll do when I have Howard’s
to darn as well as my own. For, of
course, you won’t be here then.”
Jane caught her breath. “No?”
“No. You see, Aunt Jane, I shall have
to have these rooms. The house is very
small and I don’t like to feel crowded.
And, of course, after I’m married I
shan’t need a chaperon.”
“That is true.” Jane’s hands fell on
her lap. She sat staring before her at
the dingy wallpaper, ugly, yet how
loved! “When would you like me to go,
Althea? You see, I shall want a bit of
time to look up some place.”
“That’s what I thought. A week ought
to be long enough. If you were out in
side of a week I could have everything
straightened up before my wedding.”
“I will go at once,” Jane said. She
got up and began to fumble at the
things In the old dresser. She felt con
fused. It had come so quickly and yet
not unexpectedly. Still the blow was
the same.
Althea watched her a moment, then
she rose. “I guess I’ll go to see If Mrs.
Stewart will make my dress. I expect
an atom of style.”
She went out. And Jane was alone.
She had a week in which to pack up
her few belongings and leave. A week
was a short time. She found her purse
and counted its contents. She had no
more money due in some time, and when
it came it would be so pitifully little.
She had felt herself almost in affluence
since she had been in this house. Now
she must go back to the old conditions,
and they were terrible hard. The rent
would take nearly all, and she would
have to freeze and starve and go with
out suitable clothing. Not that she
blamed Althea. If the girl was hard it
was because she had legitimately inher
ited the hardness from her mother. But
she did blame that old-fashioned, most
inconsequent system of gentility which
had bred her (Jane) to a point of deli
cacy which almost meant helplessness.
She was dependent upon her very inade
quate private means.
After she had forced down a bit of
lunch she went forth to look up a new
shelter. It seemed very difficult to find
one. It was not until the third day that
she found one large room which she
could afford. She said she would take it.
She was very tired with so much run
ning about, yet she still had to engage
a van and pack her belongings against
the time of its arrival. Althea had too
many affairs of her own to see to. She
and her great friend, Anna Paul, were
very busy and very happy. By the
sixth day Jane had everything ready for
the van.
Althea came up and looked about
complacently. “I’m going to have pink
paper and white paint,” she said. “You
must come and see ho wit looks. And
of course. I'll expect you to stay with
me all the day of my wedding. Anna
Paul can’t do everything. She’s splen
did, though. But being a married wom
an herself she knows exactly what’s
right every way. And old maid can’t
be expected to have much idea of such
things. Can they, now?”
Jane smiled feebly. “No, indeed,
dear. But any way I can I’ll be glad
to help you.”
“I know that, Aunt Jane. Say, do
you know a time like this is when a
girl wants her mother? And my
mother w t rs such a go-ahead. She
cleared things out of her path, I can
tell you She’d have this whole thing
running like clockwork inside of ten
minutes. I guess I’m some like her,
but I wish I was more so.”
“You are very like her,” Jane admit
ted.
In due time the van came for Jane’s
things. She stood at the head of the
narrow stairs and watched the movers.
In the kitchen below Anna Paul and
Althea were stirring cake batter. They
raised their voices as they talked in
order to be heard above the sound of
the flying spoons.
“Oh, I like Aunt Jane,” said Althea,
“but I’ve no patience with her. She’s
certainly no cause for action. You’d
never cream she was the sister to my
mother. Mother was so gimpy. Aunt Jane
is so soft and quiet. No wonder she’s
a nold maid.”
“Why?” asked Anna curiously.
“She never had courage to go after
a man and get him. I guess she could
have had my father once if she’d
showed any gumption. But while she
was making up that poor, weak little
mind of hers mother slipped in and
got him. And Aunt Jane was twice
as good looking, I’ve heard said.
The color poured into Jane’s faded,
delicate face and tears started. She
shrank b^ck against the wall and then
went back into the rooms to look
around. It looked pitifully bare and
deserted and she likened it to her own
heart. She was going away. She
would no longer have any opportunity
of seeing Tommy, Althea’s father. She
could no longer make any foolish little
excuse for darning his socks or sewing
on his buttons or cooking him a relish.
And all at once she knew that this was
what made her going so bitter.
She thought she had best steal away
quietly while Althea was busy. Her
hat and coat were already on. She
settled them afresh and started for
the doof.
But before she could touch the door
it opened .and a rather breathless
man entered. He glared past her and
then into her face. “What you moving
out for, Jane?”
“Why, Althea wanted the room afld,

He grew vastly excited for ao small
and gentle appearing a man. “I knew
it!” he cried. "I knew what was up
when 1 saw that van. Jane, any
house that’s big enough to hold me
is big enough to hold you, remember
that.”
"You’re very kind. Tommy, but—”
"No, I ain’t kind. I ain’t been kind.
I’ve been a blamed fool. But It ends
right here. Where you going, Jane?"
"I’ve got a room in Mrs. Petrie’s
house,”
. "One room! Is it big enough for
me, too, Jane? Look here, Jane.
We’re going to be married, you and
me. Althea Is provided for now, and
I’m going to take care of you. I am.
Don’t say I ain’t, Jane, for I won’t hear
it."
He clasped her about the waist, look
ing at her anxiously. .
“Why, Tommy,” Jane began, ”1 didn’t
know—why, it doesn’t seem possible you
can want me—” She stopped, her face
ole blur and quiver of tears.
He kissed her tenderly, “There!
There! Between you and nje I’ve wanted
you a good while, Jane—a good while.
And now I’ve got you. Let’s go tell
Althea.”
