Substantial Growth in the Business Section Winder’s Financial and Business Concerns Occupy Modern Quarters that Attract Visitors’ Attention. REV. D. S. PATTERSON, Pastor of the Bethlehem Methodiet Church, Writes Letter to the Brethren. Dear Brethren —As you all know, “Ho that fails to blow his own horn the same shall not be blown", In oth er words if 1 see the Rev. I>. S. P. the popular pastor of the Bethlehem charge coming to the front with his name in the paper; I the individual self will have to put it there. Doubtless you have seen watermel ons with a thick rind, and others with a thin rind; you have also no ticed that some folks seem to have a thick skull, with very little in it, while on the other hand, there are those who have a very thin skull, with some good stuff in it. Of course 1 am of the former kind. May the good Lord save his people from what you call ignorance, and prejudice You have heard of the fellow who misbehaved at preaching, because h< had been mule-kicked when very small, also of the unfortunate girl who had to talk in church, because she had a one gallon jug, and had it full. The biggest crank in the known world is the poor fellow' who thinks he knows everything, and real ly don’t you know there are some people in the world who it would do good to send off. You have heard of the smart daughter that tried to play classical music for her pastor, and when she got through her moth er said, “Brother Smith don’t you think she ought to be sent off,” and Brother Smith said yes. Who was that fellow who said that the people of these parts were being educated, and that they have already gotten to the point that they do not give to missions. That looks like some folks are coming to the front heels-over-head. Well I shall not say what I was going to say, I will say what I was about to say, and that is this; we had four great services here in Bethlehem last , \ : " \ \ I i • - r/i fs* 1 * , * *' - L-jJ 1 \ - . siJL-ScA V'r , t ~c 4jr t > r, *•*“'' ills $ f1- v ; - jG-xz Mi I O' -vof ? . ■,* if I [ ire x w\ /■ p i jt v * ~ HK ■ j Xk ■JtiHfA t VUr C - 1 ■ '•'' v c:| 1 1 fsla •* V G v § .afe ■ t- S V ’ 1 >! ! . *f f 1 ft j *1 ii !•} .f!'

At three he gave us a chart lecture on how to make finances easy pleasant, and abundant. At night he preached a most wonderful sermon on the relation of foreign missions to commerce. By the grace of almighty God we people of the Bethlehem charge are going to pay more to the benevo lences of the church this year than we ever have in the history of the charge.

The ALL SANITARY FOUNT Dr. J. T Wages Drug Company Corner Broad-Candler Streets SHALL GEORGIA WOMEN VOTE: BILL ASKS SUB MISSION TO PEOPLE Women Want the Right of Suffrage Upon Equal Terms with Men in This State. There is pending before the Leg islature, a bill to submit to the vo ters of the State an amendment to the Constitution to confer upon wo men the right of suffrage upon equal terms with men in this State. Tin Legislators who shall vote in favor of this bill, will simply register then selves as being willing to allow the male citizens of Georgia to decide at the next general election on the third day of November, 11116, wheth er or not the female citizens shall be clothed with the same rights and privileges as they—whether female citizens shall be clothed with the same rights and privileges as they— whether the female tax payers of the State shall have a voice in the Gov ernment under which they live and which they help to support. The Democratic party, which is the dominant party of the State, stands for the principle of State’s Rights; for the State’s sole right to decide the issues which involve the life, the liberty and happiness of the pie residing within its confines. “We Georgia women have taken them at their word and are now ask ing the members of the Georgia I>-; - islature to submit this question <>f a State Constitutional Amendim nt to the only people allowed to vote, that they may decide the s L u< , says th< women cf the Gtorgia Ef,u:al Suf frage Association. “We hereby attach a copy of the Amendment which we desire sub mitted : - “Proposed Amendment to the State Constitution. “The Right of Citizens of this State to vote, shall not b< denied or ! abridged on account of sex. “President Wilson has said, Lib erty does not consist, in mere gene; al declaration as to the rights of man. It consists of the translation of those declarations in cL finite ac tion. We women of Georgia are ask ing the Georgia Legislature to trans late into action the time-honored Dem ocratic statement that the poj-Ic oi the State should decide. “In view of the rapid growth of wo man suffrage in the Nation, it would seem of immense interest to the men of Georgia to solve this great problem themselves, and in their own way, rather than wait the slightly deferred, but none the less sure so lution of the question by the Feder al Government. One writer has said, “It is not only an injustice lo the Southern woman to have tiie South ern States so tardy in giving suffrage to the women of the South but it is an injustice to the political situation in the South. The West has doubled the vote in giving suffrage to women. “The twelve States where women vote, elect one fourth of the U. S. Senators, one sixth House of Con gress and nearly one-fifth of the Presidential electors. We, the women of Georgia, ap peal to tiie high sense of Justice and the Inherent chivalry of our able and conscientious legislators, that they shall no longer ignore the rights of one half the tax-paying, Jaw abiding, moral and educated citizens of tiie State of Georgia. If our men believe in Democracy, if they believe in the women who gave them birth, if they believe in the women who are tjieir comrades and compan ions in life, who make their homes happy, who make their lives success ful, who stand by them faithfully in every emergency of life, they will register tlnir verdict —a verdict that will stand for all time—that in the eyes of an American freeman, the dignity of American woman hod stands side by side and the equal of the dignity of American manhood — Not man above woman, not woman above man, but man and woman, side by side, comrade* av-1 companions all through life’s journ* y, and God over all forever.’’ Leav* to Sell.
