Suffragettes of Macon will set off
the torch to their campaign for equal

pate In. the distribution of the ap-1 auditorium on Washington’s blrth-
proprlalon of the pensions, but will dny two week8 from the coming
have to wait until the legislature
meets and makes provision for them.
Governor Slaton has decided that
this Is the only fair way Inasmuch
as the appropriation Is not sufficient
to meet the rolls as made up, there
fore, bo thinks the old pensioners
are the ones for flrst consideration.
It Is expected that about half of the
counties will he paid In a wee* or
ten days.
There seems to be a general opin
ion current that Governor Slaton
set the precedent of paying teachers
before pensioners, but such Is not
the case. Commissioner Lindsey
makes this clear In a letter he wrote
to a man living In Hart county.
"Replying to yours or reient date
will bay that no one person Is re
sponsible for the financial condition
of the state at this time. The legis
lature made the law creating the
teacher and the pensioner and fixed
the manner and the time of their
respective payments. These pay
ments are dependent upon the col
lection of the taxes annually from
the people and every other source
of revenue provided by the law, and
during these years gone by, the
Sunday. Noted leaders of the suf
frage cause have been secured to
talk.
Plans have been started by suf

meeting. It will mark the first
public suffrage gathering in the city
since the Inauguration of the Ma

several months agg.
Mrs. Annie E. Fletcher, of Old

In the suffrage world, will be the
principal speaker. Mrs. Fletcher
has sent word that she will attend.
The President of the Georgia suf
frage Association, Mrs. Mary L. Mc
Lendon, of Atlanta, will be another
speaker on the program.
In securing the acceptance of At
torney Grossman, president of the
Men's League of Atlanta, to speak
at the meeting, the Suffrage Com
mittee of Macon feels that the
chances are Increased for enthusing
Macon men toward the cause.
Mrs. C. H. Fuller, president of the

MEXICO, NOW FORCED TO (JO
ABOUT SEEKING MENIAL LA
BOR.
El Paso, Feb. 6.—Alberto Torraza,
a member of the family whose very
name In Mexico Is a synonym for
great wealth, has been compelled to
seek a means of livelihood.
His once vast fortune, which has
been tied up in the three years’
revolution, Is no longer capable of
supplying him even with his daily
necessities.
The members of the Terraza fam
ily expect to lease a small farm In
Northern Mexico, and they set out
from Pasadena, California, today
for that purpose.
The Terraza’s fortune, as matters
stood befre the war, included lands
stretching as far South from Juarez
as the average ‘railroad train trav
els In three days. All this vast
property belongs to Louis Terraza
and hie three sons, Louis, Jr., Juan
and Alberto.
With other property, It is now
completely tied up, and much of it
Is said to have been- permanently
confiscated by the Rebels.
CHICAGO AUTHORITIES BEGIN
INVESTIGATION OF CAUSE OF
BROWNINGS IN LAKE MICHI
GAN IiAST NIGHT.
Chicago, Feb. 6.—Police author!
ties today began an investigation of
the mysterioue errand which last
night resulted in the drowning of
three men In the icy waters of Lake
Michigan. The three were lost when
a small boat m which they were
making an efforts to reach water in
a lake crib was wrecked in the Ice.
Nearly a hundred people lined the
n arby shore, helpless to respond to
the men’s cries for assistance. When
their boat was lost, tho three occu
pants gained a big block of Ice and
clung to It nearly an hour before
j slipping ofT.
I William F. Cannell, who was
keeper of the crib, Stephen Vnrley
jand a man named Wilson were the
names of those drowned.
It was said that Cannell bad gone
to shore for provisions, but why he
should have used the small boat Is
what puzzles the authorities.

general assembly created more debts
and appropriated more money than
they provided sources of revenue to
pay them. I am told, and It Is true,
that the state Is In debt more than
one millions 7)f dollars. Neither
Governor Slaton, myself, nor the
etate treasury Individually or joint
ly are responsible for this condi
tion.
"If there had been sufficient funds
In the treasury as there used to bo
on the first day of January three or
four years ago, both the teacher and
the pensioner would have been paid,
without any dispute about as to
whom should be paid flrst. When
the time came in January, 1911, to
pay the teacher and the pensioner,
U was developed that there was not
sufficient funds In the state treas
ury to pay both, then the question
arose as to who should be paid
flrst, the teacher or the pension
er. This was a question of law,
and Governor Brown at that time
submitted It to the then attorney
general, Hewlett Hall, he being the
well as that of other members of
the Macon Suffrage Association, that
the city auditorium be packed on
the afternoon of February 22nd.

A most graceful act on the part
of the ladles of the Thomasvllle
Study Class Is the fitting up of an
alcove in the public library to be
known as the “John Triplett Al

Captain Triplett was ever a great
friend of the library and has pre
sented It from time to time with
valuable articles. One of the most
valuable and interesting presents
made by him to It was the bound
volumes of the Thomasvllle Times
Enterprise, dating baclT to the time
when it was only a weekly and
known as the Thomasvllle Times
and up to the last day that Captain
Triplett had charge of It. These vol
umes form a v aluable history of
Thomasvllle and its people and is al
so valuable as a book of reference.
These volumes had been placed
In the last alcove to the right In the
