A Thought For-The Day
Not that which goelh into the mouth defilelh
a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth,
this defileth a man.—Matt. 15:11-
Speak not at all,.in any wise, till you have some
what to speak; care not for the reward of your speak
ing, but simply and with undivided mind for the truth
of your rpeakinff.—Carlyle.
HELP YOURSELF AND HELP THE RAILROAD-
PUT IN YOUR COAL NOW
There is only so much coal equipment owned by
the railroads of the, country, if every citizen and
Every industry waited to order coal until the winter
months it is inevitable that neither the mines or the
roads could supply this accumulated demand. This
in turn would mean the usual winter scramble for
coal, higher prices, delays and maybe suffering. So
the sensible thing to do, both for the railroads and
for the individuals and the various industries of the
country is .to begin now to put in ilndr winter's sup
ply of coal, when equipment is available for haul
ing same promptly.
Many of the railroads who are perhaps the largest
users of coal are already taking their own advice nml
are beginning to lay in their winter's supply of coal,
thus releasing equipment for usi/to other industries
later in the, season. The Central of Georgia reports
that they have alre; dy stocked some 100,000 tons of 1
coal for next winter in addition to the regular storage
in chutes and bins of 30,0000 tons. ' The Georgia
Railroad is also beginning to build lip its next win
ter's coal pile.
Other industries and citizens can and should do
their part in making arrangements to order coal at
the present time for two very good reasons—a heavy
traffic Is already taxing tile railroads of the country
with record breaking carloading.-; and it is inevitable
that when fall and winter business sets in that the
roads will be unable to handle all of it promptly and
satisfactorily, especially if the'peak of the coal de
mands should be added to the already record break
ing traffic. In the next place there is always with ui
the prospect of a coal strike and interruption of both
mining and transporting coal. Locally Athens coal
yards are rapidly filling up getting ready for the
winter, and the example set by the railronils is one
that other industry and individual consumers gen
erally should follow at this season. For years this
has been the custom cf tha Now England States whore
weather conditions make the putting in of coal neces
sary during the suipmar months. The South must also
adopt the custom if it would be sure of its coal for
next winter.

THE POOL ROOM BILL J
A bill, known as the Woodruff bill, to ubolish com
mercial pool rooms in Georgia, has been favorably
reported out cf the committee in the legislature and
the? measure is said to be scheduled for passage
through both the lower and upper houses. Advocutes
of Hu- bill state that already 135 counties in the state
have legislated against the commercial pool room
and that as a revenue producer for the state it is far
overrated and that' those placet, mainly in the city
counties, have an unsavory influence over the youths
of tho community and lead them, very often, into
crime.
The downfall qf Frank Dupree, the “grey coat
bandit” of Atlautu. is laid at the door of the pool
room by sonic of jtlic advocates while tho opponents
of the bill claim that to legislate against them will
he discriminating against n legitimate line of business
ami interference on the part of the state with affairs
that should be left in the hands of individual coun
ties and cities- The lust argument will hardly hold
water and the proponents of the measure will not
have their ideas changed by any local rights argu
ment but they may be made to see that, though the
bill pus ei, the men who have many thousands of
dollars lied up as investments in pool rooms should
be given a fair chance to re-adjust their business,
di; pose of the equipment and establish other lines of
activity where the pool room is now an accepted
commercial enterprise.
Mrs. Napier, one cf tho women members of the leg
islature, has succeeded in securing an amendment
to the bill selling August first, instead of January
fin t, next as the date for banning this business in
Georgia andlt might be wire, if the measure is adopt
ed and signed by tne governor, which he will sure
ly do if it comes to hint, to have this time extended
even further, say until January first, 1925, so that
the men who have many thousands of dollars in these
investments may have ample time ill which to make
' c adjustments. Thi; should be done in fairness to
icni, especially In' View of the inactivity in all busi
ness lines at the present time. '
NEEDS STRENGTHENING
: * Representative Joe Wood of Fulton county who de
fended the Ku Klux Klan in a speech in the legisla
ture recently, has introduced a bill in the house pro
viding for granting divorces in Superior courts on a
first verdict.
! The divorce laws in Georgii couldn’t be any more
lax. It is too easy to get a divorce now without weak
ening the law. This bill should and probably will be
promptly voted down.
WOMEN INTERESTED
One hundred and fifty Georgia women attended
the dub course here this week at the University Sum
mer School and the entiuyuMtic manner in which
they took up the study WHmus problems to vote was
far from being a foolish MOVE (the word is used
advisely) on the part of mere man.

Jam' j W. Morton is in Wash- -

meeting of a board created by
the government for the fix
ing of classifications for grading
cotton. When tho present grades
and classifications wcco agreed
upon all foreign exporters and for
Tampa, Florida, proposes to
issue bonds amounting to
$650,000 for tha erection of a
civic auditorium that will teat

for public gatherings and as a
community house. Tampa is one of
the most prosperous cities in the

cation by this board without mod
ification, but it seems that thero
has arisen some objections to some
features of the classifications from
Germany, hence a meeting of the
board was necessary in order that
their grievances might be heard
and acted upon. The board Is com

What Your First Want
Ad Teaches You
All your life you have heard of people
using want ads successfully, yet it may be
that you, yourself, may never have tasted
their usefulness.
The purpose of these little talks about
advertising is to induce you to order your
first want ad. After you have once made
the test yourself and know from personal
experience of the rapidity of action and
definite results which may be secured, you
use want ads, thereafter, as a matter of
course.
Your first want ad .teaches you that it
pays to advertise—that tenants may be se
cured, that customers may be obtained,
that quick sales may be brought about
through classified advertising. Study the
want ads published on this page and note
the very many different ways in which
people make use of them.
You may telephone your want ad. A
courteous trained ad-taker will answer
your call and be glad to carry out your in
structions faithfully. j *.' T
