DEATH DID NOT TAKE A
HOLIDAY
(By Bond Bliss)
Labor had a holiday. Not death.
It takes none. Ever. It works hard
er when me are idle. For then man
becomes his own boss. Without
discipline and protection.
During the hours of labor in
factory and store and office there
are protective guards thrown around
the employes. They are watched.
Safety devices are "installed. For
safety is money. And so is life.
Capital thinks well of profit. Pro
motes human security.
Millions of individuals have less
regard for their own lives and others
when on pleasure bent. They must
save a minute. For no reason what
ever. They save the minute. And
enter eternity.
Hundreds were killed and thous
ands injured. No, we speak not of
war in China and Spain, but of the
latest week-end holiday in the Unit
ed States. Crash and bang. Drown
ings. Automobile and airplane.
Americans were merely having a
good time.
When fools kill themselves it
matters little. Except to their loved
ones. For fools are bound to do that
anyway sooner or later. Removing
them from traffic lessens the men
ace to others. The great tragedy is
the toll of the innoceut. From
babies to the old. Merciless. These
morons who drive motorcars. Ignor
ing regulations and courtesies and
sense. All of them are potential
murderers. Mad beasts running
loose. Whenever found and con
victed they should be takep off the
streets, refused the right to drive.
Make this country safe for the
people.

Nature designed the kidneys to do •

itself —is constantly producing waste

the blood if good health is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function a*

waste that may cause body-wide dis
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,

Frequent, scanty or burning passages

ONE HUNDRED YEARS
AGO
Atlanta. Georgia. 1537. was then
named "Terminus." later MAR
THASVILLE. then the BIRTH OF
ATLANTA grew ou* of the building
or the Western & Atlantic Railroad.
.And now 1937, ATLANTA. GEORGIA,
stands the EMPIRE CITY of the
SOUTH.
Beginning October 7th to ICth,
THE SOUTHEASTERN FAIR will
Reiterate The now FAMOUS AT
LANTA with a CENTENNIAL
CELEBRATION.
And the reasons for such a cele
bration are these facts:
Three railroads wore chartered
by the GEORGIA Legislature in the
year 1833, as follows: THE CEN
TRAL, THE GEORGIA, and THE
MONROE.
CHARLESTON people were on the
aggressive to extend their road be
yond AUGUSTA, and when they held
a celebration at the completion of
the road, the remarks of the speakers
dealt largely with the subject of
extension.
In October of 1835 at a mass meet
ing of the citizens of CHARLESTON
a congratulatory resolution was sent
to the people of CINCINNATI, urging
the people of Cincinnati to join in
a trans-montane railroad from CIN
CINNATI to CHARLESTON. The
efforts of CINCINNATI and
CHARLESTON culminated in a con
vention held on JULY 4, 1836, in
KNOXVILLE. TENNESSEE. More
than nine STATES were represented.
GEORGIA had sixty delegates pres
ent. The object was to formulate
plans and to devise ways and means
for the building of a railroad from
CINCINNATI to CHARLESTON.
We know, of course, tliat the proj
ect of a route from CINCINNATI to
CHARLESTON did not materialize.
We know further that the Georgians
went back home and began to devise
ways and means of carrying out the
oft-repeated message of GOVER
NOR LUMPKIN for a railroad of
their own.
When the Legislature met in
GEORGIA in November, 1836, GOV
ERNOR SCHLEY sent a message
calling attention to the projected
railroad from the CHATTAHOO
CHEE to the TENNESSEE line, and
he signed on December 21, 1836, his
approval to the original act author
izing an appropriation for a survey
and part construction of a railroad
to be known as "THE WESTERN
& ATLANTIC RAILROAD of the
STATE of GEORGIA.” Another
resolution at the same session au
thorized the Governor to ascertain
upon what terms the STATE of
TENNESSEE would permit the ex
tension of the W. & A., when built,
to some point on the Tennessee
River.
MAY 12, 1837. GOVERNOR
SCHLEY on May 12, 1837, contracted
with. Lieut.-Col. Stephen Harriman
Long to make the original survey.
Col. Long was perhaps the best
equipped man in the United States
for the duties assigned to him.
SEPTEMBER 18, 1837. The orig
inal act authorized the building of
the railroad from the TENNESSEE
line to some point on the CHAT
TAHOOCHEE RIVER. On Septem
ber 18, 1837, Brisbane (Assistant to
Col. Long) wrote a letter to GOV
ERNOR SCHLEY and suggested
that the railroad be continued across
the CHATTAHOOCHEE and to the
top of the ridge eastward toward
DECATUR some seven miles from
the river. This point is the present
site of Atlanta. The Assistant En
gineer urged the adoption of this
suggestion.
NOVEMBER 7, 1837. Under date
of November 7, 1837, Col. Long made
his final report on the survey with
estimates of costs and his recom
mendations. Ih this report he stated
that approximately 25 miles of the
road, near the ETOWAH RIVER,
was ready for the letting of con
tract for construction.
NOVEMBER, 1837. GOVERNOR
SCHLEY, in November, 1837. sub
mitted the report of Col. Long to
the Legislature and urged the build
ing of the railroad an additional eight
miles eastward from the CHATTA
HOOCHEE (the present site of AT
LANTA))
NOVEMBER, 1837. Following the
receipt of GOVERNOR SCHLEY’S
message, the Legislature on Decem
ber 23, 1837, authorized the building
of the railroad from the TENNES
SEE line to the CHATTAHOOCHEE
RIVER, and that it shall continue
from the southeast bank of the
CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER to some
point not exceeding eight miles, as
shall be most eligible to the running
of branch roads to ATHENS, MIL
LEDGEVILLE, FORSYTH and CO
LUMBUS.”
At the terminus of the road a lit
tle village gradually grew into ex
istence and finally acquired the
name "TERMINUS,” afterwards, in
honor of GOVERNOR LUMPKIN’S
daughter, it became MARTHAS
VILLE, and now is ATLANTA, GA.

Needle And Thread, Boys’ Need,
'Tia Said
New York.—Get out your need
les and thread, boys—the nation’s
first sewing school for men is start
ing up.
Mrs. Ruth Winnek, dressmaking
expert and schoolmarm of the new
institution, feels that the inconven
ience of missing buttons, porous
socks, etc., has come to outweigh
the traditional sissy connotation of
sewing, and she’s determined to
make the men independent.
“The sewing school for men has
a definite place in the scheme of
life of the modern American man,”
she says.
“Men are among the best cooks
in the world, the best style design
ers and the best beauticians, so why
shouldn’t the average man be able
to make simple repairs on his own
clothes?”

MOSQUITO BREEDING
PLACES POINTED OUT
BY DR. BROWN
(From Athens Banner-Herald)
Recent heavy rains prompted Dr*
W. W. Brown, health commissioner*
to warn Athenians to destroy breed
ing places for mosquitoes.
In a statement to the Banner-
Herald, Dr. Brown said “rainfall in
Athens and Clarke county durinjp
the past few weeks has greatly in
creased the potential breeding place*
for mosquitoes.
“In most instances mosquitoes art*
bred on the premises of those who
are most annoyed by them. Th*
collection of water in drain pipe or
on the flat roof is an ideal place for
mosquito breeding.
“Water standing in tin cans*
buckets, or other discarded contain
ers often becomes the breeding place
for mosquitoes. If you are worried,
by mosquitoes, check up carefully
your own premises for hidden breed
ing places.
“Mosquitoes usually travel only a
short distance unless carried by wind!
or storm. Water standing in base
ments, old automobile tires, gutters
and cans is responsible for most of
the mosquitoes found in the city.
“If every home owner and tenant
will eliminate such breeding places
on their own premises, the mosquito
nuisance will be greatly reduced.
W’here possible get rid of the water.
If this is impossible pour oil on the*
water to stop mosquito breeding.’*
SUMMER VACATIONISTS
The long standing custom of tak
ing vacations during the summer
months has grown to be a fixed rule
with those who are financially able
to take time off and meet the ex
penses of such diversification. It is
not so much where to go, but just,
going somewhere —anywhere for a
change of scenery and surroundings*
all of which is beneficial to the va
cationist, but for those who are un
able to leave home, the Baltimore
Sun suggests a program for their
vacation which, no doubt, affords as
much benefit as does the long and
expensive trip. The Sun, however*
offers the following:
“Move into the smallest bedroom
in your house; if possible one im
mediately over the kitchen.
“If your bed is soft and downy*,
put a couple of bricks in it.
“Dig a hole in the garden, get in
to it and cover yourself up to the
neck. When you get tired of thus
diversification, wash yourself off
with the garden hose.
“Don’t have any clothes washed
for two weeks.
“Sit on a rough board in the hot,
sun and hold a baited fishing line in
your hand.
“If you wish to take a quiet nap
in the afternoon, put a radio next to
your bed and turn it on full blast.
“In the evening, remove the
screens from the bedroom windows
so that the mosquitoes can get inj
to you.
“Go up to the roof and expose
yourself to the sun until you are
nicely burned. Then take whatever
exercises will make you stiff andl
sore.
“When you have wearied of all
this and wish to return to a normal
life, send yourself a bill for S2O to.
$25 a week and don’t forget to give
a nice fat tip to the cook.”
If you have not taken your va
cation, the foregoing suggestions
might prove satisfactory. A trial
would do no harm.—Athens Banner-
Herald.
COMBINE OF METHODIST
CHURCHES UP TO SOUTW
Proposed amalgamation of the
Methodist church bodies, north and
south, is to come up for consider
ation at the approaching session of
the south and north Georgia confer
ences.
The Methodist groups involved
are the Methodist Episcopal (par
ent) Church, the Methodist Episco
pal Church, South, which split off in
the 1850’s over the slavery issue,,
and the Methodist Protestant
Church, which severed relations La.
the 1830’s.
The new< Methodist church with
the word “Episcopal” dropped from
the title, would have more than 8,-
000,000 members. The parent
church’s “general conference” and
the Methodist Protestant greup ap
proved the merger last year at their
quadrennial sessions, '
