It'd a pood net, senator smith and Governor Slaton against the field. The price of lawlessness is oft- times harder on the individual than on the state. Augusta’s saloon license for 1914 is a thousand dollars. It's against the law in Thomasville. Banks in every town in Georgia except Thomasville advertise. Can you tell the reason why? What would you think of two soft- boiled eggs and some toast for break fast. Some rich to enjoy that. The Suffragettes, followed by the W. C. T. U. members, must have Judge Frank Park, now Congress man Park and apparently hard at work, has succeeded in introducing a bill to amend the Constitution of the United States, something quite unusual for a man just entering Congress. His idea is to amend the Federal Constiution, so as to allow the various states the light to regu late the keeping and bearing of small arms. Judge Park has been against pistol-toting and has never failed in an effort to bring about a healthy respect for the law against it in hi* own court. it lias been the observation of many who have watched court sta tistics to conclude that the pistol and whiskey are responsible for a great majority of homicides, the pis tol accomplishing the purpose which the whiskey has generated. There is. however, at the present time a law In the State of Georgia which, if enforced, would absolutely prevent the carrying of pistols, except by those who regularly apply for per mission and register their names. Either public sentiment is too strong for pistols or the courts are woefully Ineffective in this regard. j If Judge Park’s amendment would do anything toward the clearing up of the situation It should receive in stant and hearty support, but we really believe that our trouble is closer at home than in tho Congress of the United States, and that home legislative and authoritative bodies could do more toward wiping out the evil than Congress can ever do. Judge Park’s bill is as follows: “Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congrc- assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That in lieu of DESTROYED BED CLOTHES Young Business Man Ha«l Exciting Jv\|K*rience With One of the New Contraptions. “dtittmic bed mm that the movement this year will re sult in a fair, to he given under their auspices here next fall.

Oh, rub off the rouge of your giddy Those who use the new electric bed warmers for heating up their beds before getting into them on cold nights, should be a little care ful or they may find they have no bed left to warm as was the case with a well known Thomasville man this week. A night or two ago, when the mercury took a drop way down In tlie tube and the thought of getting between cold sheets made one a lit tle shivery, this young man who had invested in one of the new elec tric heaters, decided it was an ideal time to try it, so placed it between the sheet* and left it to heat up things while ho went off to his "den’’ to finish up some legal work in connection with an important ct.se in which he was interested.

Atlanta, Dec. 12.—That Judge L. 3. Roan shirked his plain duty in not granting a new trial on the grounds of his own doubt, in the Le*'* M. Frank case, is charged substan tially in the argument prepared by Frank’s lawyers, to be submitted to the supreme court next Monday. The brief is a plain and straight forward attack 'U-pon the trial judge in the case, alleging that Judge Roan was “vacillating” in his con duct of the trial at many times, and particularly in his action in refusing a new trial, though he himself had expressed doubt ns to Frank’s guilt. The argument concludes with num erous citations from the law-book* designed to show t!iat Judge Roan shirked his duty: several of the cita tions quote the supreme court tice of the verdict, he has no alter native but to grant a new trial. when he jumped into it, but when I he opened the door he found that j not only the bed, but everything else in the room was probably good and warm, as it was so full of smoke that he had difficulty in getting in and when he did he found that the bed clothes and mattress were on fire, and attempting to move things Atlanta, Dec. 12.—Passers a bright blaze broke forth in the, i^jgewood avenue near the audi- BOOSTER UPS BULLDOG middle of the bed.

NEEDN’T HELP MEN OFF CARS Atlanta, Dec. 12.—That a woman must be either a mother, or a crip ple, or an invalid, in order to merit any more assistance than a man does in alighting from a street o*r, Is the substantial weight of the ruling just handed down by the supreme court on the subject. The supreme court takes a position which ought at least to please the women who are working for equal 0 I rights, as it declares that under or- Mr Huerta's Merry Christmas will | dlnary circumstances tlierc is no . j more reason to help a woman on or have the real cannons Instead of tne! off a car Bian t i lere j s to h e ]p a man. cannon crackers. j And send back your drinks to the bar!

The rooster, which had been brought here from a Cobb county farm, got loose from its coop, and was strutting around, to see the city. The bull pup, emerging from a near-by livery stable, gave chase. At least the pup thought he was go ing to give chase, but Instead of running, the rooster prepared for battle. And the dog made a lunge for the rooster, it bobbed upward and alighted with both spurs on top of the dog’s head. Inflicting sharp cuts and nearly gouging out one of its eyes. The dog drew back a few feet and then made another lunge; this time the rooster jumped clear over it. j The next time tho rooster alighted on ; 0 the pup’s head again, and made the ' blood fly.

She beat him, he declared. She threw mud on the baby’s dress so he couldn’t take It to walk on Sundays. The straw that broke the camel’s back, ho said, was when she teased him by holding another man’s pie- re up before their baby’s face, und ringing to the child: "Here Ld’l Baby, Kiss Your Papa.” Mr. Sacrey declared in the suit, that he loved his wife, but that Ills j whole married life had been very! much likj Sherman’s definition of war. He said that tho only way he could j ever get the best of her was to take! a ropfe and tie her when she flew j into her tantrums, and that even then it only made it worse when he let her loose again. . BIFLES SEIZED IN IRELANi ! Two Hundred Rifles That Arrived at Belfast Were Taken In Charge by the British Authorities. Belfast, Ireland, Dec. 12.—Cus toms officers today seized a consign ment of tw’o hundred rifles that ar rived here from Germany. This is the largest seizure since the issu ance of the proclamation against the importation of arms and ammu nition Into Ireland. Seizures have been made dally, but they are usually in small lots. Most of the rifles seized so far have been patterns which were discarded by European nations. SOME RED CROSS SEAL FIGURES Few* people have any Idea of the magnitude of the Red Cross Christ* raaj Seal campaign. This year over 100,000,000 seals have been printed and distributed. If placed end-to* end, these seals would extend nearly 2,4 00 miles, or practically from New York to Salt Lake City. The Seals have been sent to oveT 25,000 different agents and will he Rold and handled by an army of not less than 100,000 volunteers, in cluding men, women and children. Millions of advertising circulars have been scattered throughout the country, and so thoroughly has the advertising campaign been organized that it is doubtful if many people in the more populous States, of the country will not have heard of th Red Cross Seal and its mission in the prevention of tuberculosis It is hoped that at least 50,000,000 seals may be sold this year. The prlncl pie upon which the sale of seals Is based is that every cent except what little la needed to cover the actual cost of printing and handling shall be spent for tuberculosis w’ork In the community where the sealg are sold. • Respectfully, geth, t. c.. t. c.
