TUBERCULAR SANATORIUM
That the city and county authorities should enter
into an arrangement whereby a building could be
erected and grounds secured for the purpose of
treating tubercular patients in this county, is quite
apparent from reports recently made by the Tuber
culosis Association. The condition is sufficient to
warrant the expenditure for such a plant and it is
hoped that those in charge of the county and mu
nicipal affairs will sec lo.it that proper provision is
made for the treatment of those afflicted and that
the proper protection is given to those who are free
from the drea'd disease-
Mr. Hugh Gordon has written an able argument
for'the. establishment of such a place. It is highly
important and the money of the taxpayers could not
be, invested in a more profitable way than by giving
protection to the people against contracting of the
malady and ravages of tuberculosis.
The servant in the home; the.washerwoman or the
porter in the store may be affected with tuberculo
sis germs and our families being exposed to them
daily without knowledge of the danger lurking in
our own household. Inspection should be made of
the sanitary condition of the entire community and
every servant should receive the proper care from
medical authorities before they are nllowed to en
ter the homes of our people. The home of the
washerwoman should bo investigated and every pre
caution taken to sec that these women are free from
the germs of the dreaded disease. It is a matter
which should arrest and hold the attention of the
officials and bring from them the immediate action
of establishing a sanatorium where all such patients
can be sent and cared for. .
RESTRICT THE PURCHASE OF FIREARMS
Stricter laws should be enacted in .this state regu
lating the purchase of firearms of all character. Un
der the present law anyone desiring to purchase a
pistol may do so by paying the price, but to carry it
in one’s possession ho or she must have a license or
permit from tho ordinary of the county which is.ro-
j (juired to be made of record. That system is of lit-'
! tie benefit or protection. The violators of the law do
nut seek the privilege of registering, but their dc-
i sin; is to keep from tho knowledge of the officers
their ownership of firearms. The present law
should be so amended as to prohibit purchases with-
. out registration and to prohibit the mail order ship-
mcnts'of firearms of any kind. Regardless of ho\y
drastic the law locally is the criminal and crook can
order firearms from a distance , and receive them
through the mail or express. That I* the danger in
the present law. The crook who desires to arm him
self has only to order such firearms from other
states and under the present law he is entitled to re
ceive it.
Pistol “toting”, concealed or otherwise, is a don-
= gcrou4 practice Certainly all protection possible
should bo throtvn around the law and absolute pro
hibition placed upon the general sale without proper
Tonriqions. more ucntns ana accidents arise from
the common use of pistols than through any other
source and for thut reason the laws of the state
should'be made most drastic in the control and regu
lation of purchasing and keeping in ono’s possession
these Qangcroua and death-paying-toll Instruments.
WHY NOT WOMEN PREACHERS?
It lifts been predicted that women preachers will
1 a just as numerous as there are women Rchool teach
ers within the next few years. And, why not? They
are just as capable and have as much ability as the
men and wc see no reason why they should not oc
cupy the pulpit. The percentage of educated women
is /rafter than that of the men and certainly their
powers to disseminate tho teachings of the bible
v..Bid,be as forcible as that of their brothers. The
■lucstion of women preachers has been agitated in the
Megotist Episcopal church whore it has found favor
and we believe before many years there will be as
many women preachers of the various denominations
as thefe are now of men.
Some of our greatest educators and historians are
- womeii Some of our greatest doctors and lawyers
arc women, besides some of our most successful bus!-
r ks enterprises are directed by women. Then why
K should We not have women preachers? The pulpit
kkjjjers a field for the development of the teachings of
and there should be no discriminations
■^^1" 6n account of sex- It is a profession in which
T women should engage in as much so as the men and
h jgS time is coming, at no distant date when our pulpits
ht-WfU have the Word of God preached from them by
I women with just as much intellect, wisdom and re*
j hgion as that of the men.

Athens without a football
game on Thanksgiving Day
is a quiet place. It Hhould be
different. A game here with
Ibme conference team or a recog*
niacd team in the class with Geor*
gia would draw thousands of peo
ple to this city. Athens is far
more accessible than Columbua
and the Auburn game should be
played here, at least every other
year—just as it used to be. Athens
people are loyal supporters of
athletics at the University of
Georgia as has been proved on all
occasion! when games have been
played here with teams of note,
rhe Virginia game demonstrated
that fact and the fact that out*
of-town people attend in large
numbers. It is hopod that i«?c
authorities will not allow anothor
Thanksgiving Day to pass without
scheduling a game for Athens.

Georgia club women with liter

to enter the second national con
test recently announced. Last
year twenty-nine states entered
the contest and Georgia received
two honorable mentions.
Rules governing this conteat
have been furnished this depart
ment by Mrs. W. F. Melton, Geor
gia chairman of literature.
Recently the state federation
conducted a contest that was
great success. Three classes of
manuscript were eligible and the
prizes were won by Miss Marion
Otis of Atlanta. Mrs. E. E. Hines
of Miliedgeville and Miss Belle
Bayless of Kingston. The prizes
were cash and were donated by
Mrs McCord Roberts of Atlanta,
Mrs. George A. Mell of Athens,
Mrs. G. A. Johns of Winder.
“Last year Georgia won two
hoqprable mentions in the nation
al contest and this year we must
do as well if not better. Judg
ing from the class of the manu
scripts submitted in the state con
test, just closed, Georgia ought to
I be able to make an even better
showing this year.” said Mrs.
Melton. “The contest closes on
January 1st, and Z hope that many
Georgia writers will enter manu
scripts. The rules as furnished by
Mrs. L A. Miller, national chair
man of literature arc as follows”:
TWO SUBJECTS
THIS YEAR
The division of literature will
conduct another contest along
slightly different lines. The in
terest shown last year, with thir
ty-ninc states responding, seems
to justify tho effort. The re
sponse was greatest in the lyric
class, showing that the impulse to
expression is greatest through
poetry. There will be just two
classes this year as follows:
-Short Poem: No restrictions
as: to form of theme. Limit thirty
lines. Must be original, never pub
lished. Must have been written
within a year of close of contest.
The Colorado Federation of Wo
men’s Club will give a prize of
twenty-five dollars to the poem
penounced the best by the judges.
Thsi prize is given in honor of the
writers of Colorado who won dis
tinction in the former contest.
2—Press Article: For the most
concise and clear answer to the
question: “What do the Two Mil
lion, Seven Hundred Thousand
Federated Club Women Want
from the Publishers?” a prize of
twenty-five dollars will be paid.
Are you demanding the sort of
novels and poems that are holding
the popular places today? The
publishers tell ua that they are is
suing these books for which they
are convinced there is a demand.
Women, we are told, have 90 per
cent'of the purchasing power, if
you are not satisfied with what
you are getting, make your wishes
known. »
For the best statement, in the
opinion of the judges, of real needs
and desires of club ikomen in lit
erature the prize will be awarded.
Limit 500 words. Make every one
count.
