Woman hi the Home.
Entonton Messenger,
In the home woman occupies a
position of unlimited power and
influenoe. if olie* but k«?..w it. No
where else can she exert such an
influence upon the lileof the na-
, u ,<( the world ut large. The
ninment she leaves home, in s. arch
of (lower she leaves the sphere
where her great t power resides.
One of the saddest and must men-
acini’ signs of the times, to our
mind, is tho neglect of tlm home
life, the ease with which divorces
n re granted, the way in v. hich
children are allowed to grow up
on the streets, to be out at all
hours of l|jo night to seek ideas*
ure away from home.
To-day tlieic is a tendency for
women t'. look upon the cares of
domestic lito as irksome. There
j s a growing desire fo appear tu
public life. The quiet home life
m too uneventful, too humdrum.
Children are n miisancfi because
lie their mother down.
Any mov. innnt which tends to j
weaken tlm family tie, to break '
up the home life is dangerous in
the extreme. In the home, and
a t tho mother’s knee, love for
home, love for country, love fui
righteousness and truth must I*h
instilled. In tho In me. at the
mother’s knee, the men who have
been the world’s greatest leaders
|, nv « been trained. In the home, j
u t the mother’s knee, good men,
strong men, righteous men, pu- i
triotic men, the men upon whom
the destinies of tho human rac<
depends, in whom lie ilie strength |
,tnd enthusiasm of a nation's lile
,
in the homo these men are reared j
and nowhere else. To meet the j j
cn!W s which may arise ut al 0
time'in the life of a country like |
our own, wo must always have
va8 t reserve of loyal patriotism,
g00 d citizenship, sound morality
nt ,d holiest statesmeiiship ready
a t, Irand to suminon at a moment’s
notice. All tli s we must have to
preserve the nation’s life. And

The Sanderaville Progress, in
discussing the proposed disfran-

think about when it says:
“Who does not. know that
the yr ars from 1998 to 1890 nil
political parties were* earn stly
striving to catch the negro vote?
Wh. does not recall that right
here in Georgia the 1 hmincrut to
party was fighting its
partlv with nired h negro orators?
Who does not remember that the
t*,,pulist party was likewise using
negro orators in i's campaign?
' ;yho disputes the fact that during
; this entire period all political
| parties and politicians were stir-
ring to Vote the negro vote by the
! linerul use of money and the si ill
1 more liberal use of whisky? Tlie
very fact that this was the condi-
i, f ,n of affairs when our white

that cun be advanced for the re-
