LEGISLATIVE NEWS Review Of Doings Of General Assembly Gathered For Our Readers Atlanta.—Passage by the house of the senate bill requiring a secret bal- lot In all elections, both primary ant general, is virtually the only legist tlve result accomplished by the gen eral assembly after a week and a half pince the session convened on the fourth Wednesday in June. , The remainder of the time of the house and senate has been chiefly oo cupied with demands for “investiga tions” of this and that, including the department of agriculture, the state highway department, the college of ag- riculture, etc. 1 The secret ballot, otherwise known as the Australian ballot bill, is an im portant forward step in Georgia eleo Jtion methods, in the general opinion bf legislators and state officeholders ft was strongly recommended by Gov ernor Hardwick in his opening mes sage. It passed the senate last year and was passed by. the house with mi- faor changes. The senate is expected to concur in these with little if any ob jection, which wil send the bill to the governor for his approval. The most Important amendment by the house was to set forward the effective date of the bill to January 1, 1924. The bill requires all elections in Georgia, both primaary and general, to be held with a secret ballot. It re quires voting booths where voters may prepare their ballots without being ob served. It provides for and requires an unobserved deposit by the voter of his ballot in the box. It imposes severe penalties upon election managers, clerks of court and others handling ballots, for divulging any information as to how a voter casts his ballot. Highway bond issue legislation and tax revision legislation have made nc appreciable progress in the house or the senate. The highway committee? of both branches have held three joint 1 taeetings in an effort to formulate a highway bond issue program on which the majority could agree, but have not succeeded.

The government’s hand in the rail road strike has been revealed through the order of Attorney General Daugh erty Issued to all United States dis trict attorneys and marshals, author izing them to use force to prevent any interruption of interstate commerce and the movement of the mails. Al- thougli Chicago is so far the only dis trict in which the order is said to have been applied, nevertheless, it was said, the order can be applied universally. The government’s hand in the coal Btrike has yet to be revealed. Al though Daugherty believes coal vital to transportation and as such subject to federal order when transportation Is tied up, nevertheless his latest rail road strike order is said to have no bearing on what the government may have in mind regard the coal strike. The bituminous operators and minerq are scheduled to reconvene shortly The anthracite group is to meet also! Secretaries Davis and Hooper havq completed their report on the confer-) ences of the two groups that have al-i ready been held. President Harding’s return to Washington has given them the opportunity of presenting their ro port to him for consideration The government’s plan of action, it was; said, will be carried out following the! president’s examination of this report, if the miners and operators themselves do not proceed promptly to a solution d£ their difficulties. When the government will act was, a matter of concern to the miners and operators arrriving to attend the re-j convening of the president’s coal con ference. In official cijcles it has been suggested that definite signs will be disclosed toward the middle of this week. Although no formal conferences be tween President John L. Lewis of the miners and his district presidents have occurred since adjournment, neverthe less, it is stated, they have all agreed among themselves to, y reject the .oper ators’ compromise proposal of reaching a settlement on the basis of fewer but) larger coal districts. The operators are 3aid to have nothing new to offer. In answer to the suggestion coming from official sources that the govern ment’s action might consist of com mandeering the mines after declaring; that a public emergency exists, both miners and operators said they did not think it feasible. The operators were doubtful that the government could compel the men to dig coal. The min- ars were doubtful that the govern ment could find enough experienced non-union miners to work the mines. However, both sides anticipate some form of action which will not only ter minate the present tie-up, but lay the foundation for stabilizing the entire coal industry.

Governor Harding Is Attacked Again Washington.—Continuing his attack on the federal reserve board and its governor, W. P. G. Harding, Senator Heflin, democrat, Alabama, declared in the senate that Havard university, at the June commencement exercises, had conferred the degree of doctor of laws on Mr. Harding “to help Wall street in its effort to get him reap pointed governor.” Naval Recruiting Starts Out Again Washington.—After a year’s suspen sion, recruiting for the navy, under orders published, will be resumed. Sixty-five thousand men will have to enlist or re-enlist in the coming year in order to keep the navy up to the 86,000 men authorized under the naval appropriation bill. Berlin May.. Become Fashion Center Berlin, Germany.—Berlin is out to contest Paris’ claim to the throne as queen of fashions. The arrival of Amer ican buyers for advanced autumn sales Is stimulating the agitation among fash ion designers of Berlin, who are re doubling their efforts to regain for the German capital her pre-war rank among the centers which set the pace for the well dressed world. There is reported to be a growing tendency on the part of foreign buyers who ask not for Parisian models, but for those of Berlin costumes themselves. Women’s club are a good thing. We have a live one in this town. |Women are the mothers of our race, and they exert an (important influ ence upon the future of the race. Where women get together there is talk. Where there is talk tebre is ar gument, and argument brings out the good and the band, the best and the poorest of every subject. No person can attend a series of women’s club meetings without being wiser and better foi rthe experience. Some one has said something on some subject that has shed enlightenment and made clearer the path of duty. Men who imagine that women in dulge noly in chatter when they get together have much to learn. Women may gossip—as do the men— but throughout it all there is a vein of seriousness which indicates deep thought and a careful analysis of the affairs of life. A well governed woman’s club aids this work. It diverts the feminine mind into channels which, make for the betterment of community life. We are never so full oi pep but what we could stand a little more. A woman’s club adds to the supply. Many parents complain that as their children grow older they cast off their obedience to parental law and lose their respect for parental authority. But the child is not alone to be cen sured. The parent who does not demand re spect and obedience in the beginning will not receive it in the end. Humoring and coddling does not produce either. Instead, it creates self ishness, ingratitude and ultimate indif ference. Perhaps that nickel you give in church makes you feel good. Make it a dollar and you will feel bully. Money given to a church is well spent. It returns to you many fold. Think of the good old days when you were a child in Sunday school, and of the lessons you learned and have never forgotten. Others contributed the .money then —it is your turn now. The church and the Sunday school are doing the same for your children and for all of the childx-en of the com munity that other churches did for you when you were young. Churches cannot live on nickels, and qommunities cannot prosper without churches. Make it a dollar the next time. MAYOR AND COUNCIL Elected at Fayetteville Wednesday.

GEORGIA PRESS MEN READY FOR QUITMAN PRESIDENT SUTLIVE ANNOUNCES PROGRAM OF LEADING NEWSPAPER MEN STATE NEWSJJF INTEREST Brief News iWms Gathered Here And There From All Sections Of The State REVIVAL MEETING Warlike African Tribe. The Masai are the most arrogant and warlike tribe of all the native tribes of Africa and, man for man, they are possibly the wealthiest peo ple in the world. Their wealth has been acquired by waging ruthless war on all the other tribes In the vicinity and appropriating their worldly goods, which are chiefly in the form of huge herds. But, with all their warlike tendencies, they have never risen against the white man. Scarcely 50,000 in number, they held sway for genera tions over millions of their more peaceful neighbors. The Masai are the exact reverse of vegetarians, for they live on nothing but meat, considering everything grown in the earth as despicable food, fit for monkeys, but not for men. Their favorite drink Is secured by tapping the large vein In the neck of an ox and drawing, off a quantity of his blood, which Is sometimes drunk mixed with milk and sometimes “straight.” The ox is also their chief food. Fishermen Use Colored Nets. In Dalmatia it has been noticed that the fishermen dye their nets In wonderful shades of brown and bright green. They have found by experience that while the fish are canny enough to fear the white nets and flee from them as from a danger signal, they swim calmly Into the meshes of the green and brown ones. It seems possible, that this Is be cause the green and brown strands of the nets are not unlike the floating strands of seaweed. Another expla nation Is that the eye of the fish is unable to distinguish these two colors from that of the sea water. These dyes are extracted from the bruised barks of plants. After the nets have been well soaked in these natural dyes and then thoroughly dried, the colors are found to be fast both as regards water and sunlight. Savage Tribes Revered the Cross. From the early days of the church the cross was a usual emblem ol Christian faith and hope. The first Christians showed great respect for its significance, with St. Paul “glorying in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” They used the gestural sign of the cross extensively. Tertulllan wrote In the Second century: “At every step and movement, when we go In or out, when we dress or put on our shoes, at the bath, at the table, when the lights are brought, when we go to bed, when we sit down, whatever it is that occupies us, we mark the forehead wPtb the sign of the cross.” Even before the Christian era the cross was an object of religious venera; tion among savage tribes. The death of Chrlsi gave it a new meaning. At Fayetteville Method ist Church; Rev. W. J. DeBardeleben, of At lanta, Preaching. The revival meeting at the Fayette ville Methodist Church started Mon day night with much enthusiasm and to a large and appreciative audience composed of the towns peopis of all denominations. Mr. DeBardeleben was quick to dis cern that his congregation was made up of many different religious believers and at the beginning, made himself very plain to the people that this meet ing was to be broad enough to reach to the uttermost, and to satisfy the extremest, that all prejudices were to be waived and that the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ was to be preached with His power to save and sanctify. Mr. De Bardeleben is pastor of the Payne Memorial Church of Atlanta and is doing a great work in his commun ity, much of the work of this church being of the community extension or der and Mr. De Bardeleben is peculiar ly adapted to the work, being endowed as an evangelist and an aggressive worker for the souls of men. The Fayetteville Methodist’s are an ticipating great results from this meet ing, both for themselves and their sis ter churches. 1SOUTHERNRAILWAY Depot Burglarized; Mon ey Only Taken.
