Washington, D. C., Octoberf ^3.—
Painters often depend on secrets of
pigments and technique of their own
to obtain various effects. We are all
familiar with the anecdote of Turner,
who when asked by a chance observer
how he mixed his colors to get his
famous effects, replied tactly: “With
brains, sir.” It may be said that
Americans have always been cele
brated for putting brains jnto their
work. That is one reason rwhy they
bave succeeded and why in some re
spects they have l?d the world.. In
many lines Americans have no rivals.
American typewriters, sewing ma
chines, counting devices, office furni
ture, and many other things that
might he named, will be found in the
most remote centers where they often
have no competition because they are
unique. Those who visit the San
Diego Exposition in 1915 will see an
exposition of brains as well as of
products. Their first glimpse of the
exposition will show them a beautiful
city which will be the expression of
the best intellect of the nation in ar
chitectural design, in structural work,
in materials. The artistic effects ob
tained by the landscape .treatment in
which the floral display will be con
spicuous, and by grouping, coloring
and design of the buildings will testify
to the esthetic development of what is
sometimes referred to rather^ con-
temptously as a ‘commerical nation.”
Within the buildings will be working
demonstrations of the industrial activ
ities of the nation, again proving an
exposition of brains as well as of ma
terials. And the exposition in its en
tirety will illustrate the intellectual
powers of the designers and executors
of the whole enterprise.

WEATHER FORECAST.
Washington, D. C., October 28.—Forecast for Georgia: Partly cloudy
ionight and Wednesday; colder in the southeast portion tonight.
BUSINESS GOOD AND GROWING
Gathering optimism is expressed by business men about the
fall outlook. After a wide canvass of merchants and manufac
turers The Journal of Commerce, of New York, finds that they are
experiencing an abundance of orders larger than for a long period.
The enactment of the tariff bill, which is in sight, appears to be
the marking point for a good advance in business activity..
Moderate conservatism is expressed, but the preponderating be
lief seems to be that the tariff bill rates are not destructive, and
methods have been developed to an efficiency that makes foreign
rivalry not to be greatly feared.
FOR LEISURE MOMENTS
The Soliloquy of Taxable Bachelor.
To wed or not to wed—that is the
question;
Whether ’tis wiser in the mind to sul-
for
The stings and harrows of outrageous
taxers,
Or to put arms about a maid ot
promise.
And, by espousing, bluff them? To
woo, to wed—
Nuf said; and , by a ring, to say we
end
The freedom, and the numerous natur
al joys.
Lone man is heir to —’tis a consterna
tion
Devoutly to be feared!

IMPROVE THE CONSULAR SERIVCE.
Americans have good reason to be proud of manner in which
their commerce has been reaching out to the furtherest ends of
the earth. It has made tremendous strides, and recently Secre-
tary-of Commerce Redfield told the public.that our commerce is
at Hood tide, and that every effort should be made to sustain it
there.
Secretary Redfield is a business man who proved that he knew
how to get and keep business. He is a legislator of experience,
and a man of wide culture and deep knowledge. He advises tbpt
the public indicate to congress its desire that more money be al
lowed for our corps of foreign representatives who are engaged
m the extension of American commerce. He refers to the con
sular service and to the special commercial representatives who
are directly under the supervision and control of the department
of commerce.
Congress has been so accustomed to exercising a niggardly
policy toward the consular service that it dislikes very much to
spend even the paltry million or so required to maintain it in a
state of shabby gentility. The service is now on a merit system
and is considered a model by most nations, yet the salaries are
low and allowances for expenses are meager, often to meanness.
The commercial interests of the nation should express their desire
that this service, which is yearly bringing hundreds of millions
of dollars of trade to the United States, be treated at least as well
as the rural carriers, the navy yard mechanics, the Indian agents
and even pensioners, who received last year about 175 times as
much as the foreign consuls of the United States.
While the consular service is the most efficient agent in pro
moting trade abroad, expositions are one of the most efficient
agencitV at home for the same purpose. Congress has been lib
eral with expositions in the past and still looks with favor on
them, although it is more careful about making large grants of
money. Such an exposition as the one which is to be held in San
Diego in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama canal, and
which is already in such shape as to give visitors a very fair idea
of what it will be when ready to receive visitors, does very much
to extend knowledge of the resources of this country and to af
ford strangers opportunity to learn what the nation has to give
them. It is being liberally supported by manufacturing, com
mercial and railroad interests. '

It is a comfort to know that those touch*

child - bearing may,
easily be avoided. No

she will fortify her

This is a penetrat

naturally expand without the slightest
strain, and thus not only banish all tenden

an entire freedom from nausea, discomfort,
sleeplessness and dread that so often leave
their impress upon the babe.
The occasion is, therefore, one of

Smith was going down town
morning when he ran across a friend
and the conversation eventualy drift
ed to a new family that had moved
into fire house adjoining thbM&rmer.
“I am sorry they came there,” said
Smith, referring to the new neigh
bors. “They are Simply driving my
poor wife crazy.”
“That’s hard luck” commented the
friend, sympathetically. “What do
they do, have a domestic scrap every
night?”
“Yes,” replied Smith, “but that isn’t
exactly what’s driving mother bug-
house. You see, they fight in some
foreign language and she can’t under
stand a word they say.”—Philadel

You are cordially invited to attend the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce tonight at the city hall. You are urged to bring a friend with
you. The Athens chamber is working zealously in the interest of the city.
A little cooperation upon the part of our citizens, even to the extent of con
tributing a hour or so a month in attendance upon the meetings, wifi prove
a great encouragement to those who are actively engaged in doing the work
of the chamber in seeking to advance the interests of Athens.
The way of women are at times incomprehensible. We are told in
the press dispatches of yesterday that Georgia women will assist Richard
Pearson Hobson in his race for the United States senate against Represen
tative Oscar Underwood and a petition is being circulated by women in
Springfield, Ohio, designed to secure the permanent release of the notorious
Harry Thaw, and still another woman is to dance in a thin robe'bn a roof
in Washington in winter.
