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. Watch Georgia win Saturday., The Georgia legislators are still debating and progiuMticating over the tax act while the nennle are paying the expenses.

That is some consolation to the hip pocket brigade who may attend the Tech-Auburn game on Thanksgiving Day in Atlanta.

I Tho ratio of males to females is higher for thb farm popualtion than it Is for the total population jexcept in thruo states. SHOP EARLY. 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. The “Bulldogs” met with hard lock In Montgomery. Every break of luck fell to the lot of the Alabama play era and gave them four touch downs. It was purely a lottery and the Alabama boys drew the prises. However, with John Fletcher and “Butter” Kilpatrick in the game Saturday, Centre, the pace setters for southerft football, arc bound to meet with defeat, the pi far out of line we aro on our fore casting. Georgia has tho men and they aro gams enough to put over a victory for the iicd am; umck In the last game of tho season. W. T. Anderson, editor of the Macon Telegraph, will be the guest ef the Eighth and ’Ninth District l*rrm» Associa tion which meet in this city next month.

Georgia club women with liter ary talents have an opportunity 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.

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.
