•- Let the Women Vote
While the Batfncr Is not in favor
of suffrage for women, yet they are
entitled to vote under the law. In the
November election, and no technicali
ty should Interfere and prohibit them
from casting their ballots the same
as the men.
It has been ruled by the chairman
r,f the state Democratic executive
committee that on account of the wo
men not having been enfranchised six
months prior to the election that they
cannot now vote. Such a ruling, tech
. nically is right, but with the great is
sues and principles Involved In this
campaign, the women should be al
lowed to cast their ballets and cast
them Just as they see fit.
Another year, the women will be
voting In all elections, If they so elect
and there Is no good, reason why they
should not cast their ballots this year
The Banner does not believe in stand
ing on technicalities, especially when
so much of importance is at stake to
tho Democratic party and to the na
tion. It Is believed that Governor Cox
will sweep the nation, hut It is noth
ing more than, right for the representa
tives of the party, the executive com
mittee, -to come out open and above
board to all the world and declare the
polls open for women to, vote In the
November election.
Suffrage will, of course, enfranchise
bunny negroes, both women and men,
but It is not believed that the negro
vote will ever' materialize to any
great extent where it will be a factor
or even ^ trouble maker for the Dem
erits of this state. It they should
good and well, for another yeir will
find practically all of tho negro'wo
men disfranchised for failure to pay
their taxea.
If the women aro ever to voto, this
• Is the yeir for them to cast their
first ballots and It Is believed that If
the matter is brought to tho atten
tion of the authorities, authorization
will be given to them to cast their bal
lots. Women votes will do more to
purify end make dean politics than
r any other agency. That will be proven
whon their ballots show up on next
election day
Paid in Full
The announcement in the news col
umn* of the Banner this morning of
the settlement of tho affairs of Mr.
'John W. Welch satlsfoctorlly will bo
received with much Interest and pleas
ure on the part of his many friends
' In this city and section. Mr. Welch
has satisfied ail parties concerned and
to prove his absolute interest In the

Col.. John B. Gamble, chairman of

Sir. Welch is ono of the most prom
Inart citizens of this city. He conduct
ed cue of tho largest warehuose busi
nesses In the state and by his liberal
%cl!cl;s and accommedationn to his
customer* he had built a most success
ful business. By all of his customers
ho was held In the highest esteem and
the unfortunate occurrence brought
many regrets from those who knew
lilm and had dealt with him for .year*.
Should Mr. Welch desire to reenter
business there Is a large clientele In
this section of the stats who would
place tbelr business lit his bands and
hack up to th* limit his direction of
the business. No man in Georgia can
claim more truq and loyal friend*'than
can Mr. Welch. He ho* spent his en
tire life'here and his many act* of
kindness, bis many acts of charity tc
those less fortunato has endeared him
•o thousands. .HU charity work was
never done with sounds of trumpets,
but he went about It in a quiet way
endeavoring to do Aba most good and
relive those In distress and need with
mjt ever letting them know from whom
the aid came. He Is a model man sr
a citizen of much value to the com
munity. His relatives are members of
the oldest families In this section
and their voluntary action In tltio mat
ter shows them to be all that could
be expected of good citizens and even
more.
The Banner congratulates Mr.
Welch in succteding in closing up bla
matters in such a satisfactory man
ner t o'all, and extends to him its sin-
c-x-e and hearty best wishes for tho

Beauty-W ise-

You who ar« not beautiful—and who don’t care—need not lead. \
But you who are not beautiful—and who are wise enough to under-)
stand tho desirableness of beauty—may read to great profit and eventual j
happiness.
Ths woman who would be really beautiful—and gain fully the odmira-f
tion that is beauty's due—must see to it that beauty is developed every-;
where.
Beauty must show in undimmed purity and wholesomenes3 of skin, in ;
fir n and gracefully rounded arms and shoulders, in buoyant radiance of
gleamingly wholesome bosom, in the satiny creaminess of complexion
ubovo reproach. —
Lack any part of beauty and you might as well lack the whole.
And beauty’s lacks, let us remind you, are most conspicuous in’
deficiencies of complexion and of the skin's handicap when it must suffer
the feeble support of unfirm and flabby and possibly under-nounshed flesh.
These are the deficiencies to which Dr. Charles Flesh Food may with
hopeful expectation be applied.
f Tested throughout a period of over sixty years, Dr. Charles Flesh Food 1
has grown to popularity and high esteem everywhere by reason of virtues
of beauty stimulation through tho revivifying of drooping tissues and
the clarifying of ill-favored skin.
! Used as a gentle massage—in accordance with the simple and easy
directions given—wonderful benefits of exhilaration and healthful skin-
glow follow, in due course eradicating-Imnkles, banishing crows feet, -
clearing sway blotches and blemishes-and removing pimples.
Dr. Charles Flesh Food—wherever used—promotes fursomeness of flesh
and the firm, well-rounded contour that full-pulsing life bestows as itt
)clft of shapeliness to the body beautiful.

.reason be expected to help?
