♦ A SOUTHERN GIRL ♦
* ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦>♦♦♦
From the address of Rev. O. L.
Kelly in Wesleyan’s opening services:
Describe her, my treasure, my darling?
Draw that dainty picture in words?
1 could easier put down on paper
The May-morning song of the birds,
Could 1 catch on that canvas a sun
beam
Flashed back from the heart of a I
pearl
1 might be tempted to paint you
A warm hearted true southern girl, j
“Is she blonde or brunette?'’ What a
fellow,
I am sure I can’t tell, I declare,
No mor than if I'd never seen her,
What color her eyes or her hair,
Who could notice the shade of these
tresses
That dazzle the sight till it blurs?
And eyes, who could think of their
color,
With a soul shining through them
like hers?
■ *•.***: .I*;*?
“Her voice?” you have heard, perhaps,
sir,
The mocking bird singing at night,
In the cypress swamps by the river
When the moon rose high and
bright?
Well, then you have heard her voice. J
or something as like it you’ve heard
As the voice of a maiden was ever
Like the notes of a tuneful bird.
“Her form?” Why I know nothing of
it,
1 don't think she's stately or tall.
But I’m cnly conscious, when near
her,
Os a glorious presence, that’s all.
Stay. Now 1 remember at parting
She stood by my side, so last night,
And her head came just here to my
shoulder.
“Petite?” Well, perhaps you are
right.
You have watched some time on the
praries
The morning breeze dandle and play
With the sweet atomasco lillies,
Just opening their eyes to the day?
Well, she is as lithe and as graceful
As ever a lily stem grew;
And her face it Is sweeter and purer
Than lily-cups glistening with dew.
But to me she’s simply a vision
Os summer land's vision and song,
Materialized into a mortal
To move for awhile ’mid the throng
Os us commoner earthier beings—
Twould lie to me scarce a surprise
To see her rissolve into sunbeams
And vanish up into the skies.
Twonld be useless to question me
further;
I can’t put that gleam into words;
I could easier jot down the music
Os the May morning song of the birds,
Or catch on that canvas a sunbeam
Flashed back from the heart of a
pearl,
Than paint you a faithful picture
Os a warm hearted, true southern
girl. —Tom F. Mcßeath.
WE SHOULD WORRY
Somehow or other these scientists
are never satisfied. th y tel'
us that worry is what puts a man in
| |
his grave, and another day they tell
us we should worry. One day they
direct out attention to the fact that w ■
are wasting twice as much food as wo
eat, and the next day they say we are
going to starve. One day they berate
us for race suicide, and the next day
they say the world is becoming over- ;
populated. There is no use arguing
with them. We should worry.
At a recent meeting of the British j,
Assocation for the Advancement of:
! c
Science H. N. Dickson, professor of j
geography at University College, Ed- _
inburgb, president of the Royal Meten
rolagical Society, and a recognized au
thority and writer, came to the inter
esting conclusion that we should
worry. j
Dr Dickson did not mean that this
i
advice should be taken in the sent-3 (
of the slang of the hour, but literally.
There ars so many things to worry
about that it was a wonder to him
how the people of the earth could
pdogress so heedlessly. The need of
the day was to worry more, not less, as'
other philosophers have been telling
us.
Within a century, Dr. Dickson esti
mated, the resources of the world will
be taxed to their full capacity. With
the populatidn steadily increasing,
there will be scarcely any room to
move around. A host of problems of
the future are marshaled by Dickson,
among them being the question of ob
taining power and energy to operate
electric power stations, and the distri
bution o. population. Foremost among
these questions will be that of growing
wheat enough for the world’s bread.
Altogether, with the coal supply di
minishing, the life-giving properties
In the air disappearing, the supply ot
wheat falling behind the growth in
| population, it is a very dark picture |
! which Dr. Dickson paints. We shou'-l
worry.
| SECRETARY GARRISON’S SUG
GESTIONS
The suggestions of Mr. Garrison, thy
Secretary of War, respecting enlist
ment in the army, seem to be good
ones and calculated to get the best
class of men as soldiers. One is that
the term of enlistment be short, not
more than three years, with the privil
ege of discharge into the reserve
that period when efficiency has been
proven, and the other is that in ad
dition to military training there shall
be vocational training, so that a soldier
when he again enters civic life will be
prepared to earn a living.
These suggestions are calculated to
attract men into the army that woul 1
! not otherwise enlist. Very many men
j excellent men, would like to enter the
army simply to get the military train
ing. hut they don’t want to spend a
long time in it. A long term takes too
big a slice out of their lives. But they
would gladly enlist for a short term
j with the prospect of going back to civil
life as soon as they had shown pro
ficiency in military trailing. The re
ward o: an early discharge would
an incentive to greater efforts in the
direction of proficiency in military
training.
And the vocation training would b>
, a great attraction. The army would be
a sort of training school for a useful
and bread-winning occupation. Many
of those who now serve out their terms
look forward with something akin .>
dread to a return to civil life, although
wanting to get out of the army, simple
because they do not know how the
are to earn a living except by labor of
a poorly compensated kind.
Secretary Garrison says that the
I army is in first class condition. If.
however, his suggestions should b
adopted there would be more content
ment among the rr n. Very desirable
men would enlist, and, aft' r a short
service, be disehar: ed into the reserve,
ready to respond when the count:
needed a bigger army, and they woul 1
, |be equipped by their vocational train -
! ing for becoming useful citizens. —

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECCRDER.
♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦-♦•I
♦ WOMEN FIGHT ING ♦
♦ FOR TEN THINGS ♦
♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦•♦■♦
Mrs. Margaret S.annard, chairman
of the Hospitality Committee of th
National Mothers' congress, gives the
Boston American the following list o:
ten things which women want, and
which lie back of their present unrest:
Would Advance Civilization.
First. The women of this age are
fighting for an infinitely finer and
higher civilization than the world has
ever known. This purpose, as exem
trifled in the work of the Mothers'
Congress for example, means that W 2
are definitely waging war against the
forces that pull civilization back and
fighting for the forces that help it for
ward.
Seek Home Improvement
Second. We are fighting to improve
the home in every department. The
home represents with absolute fidelity
the degrees of understanding to which
the parents have evolved. Therefore,
in order to improve the home, we
must train the home makers first.
Must Protect Children.
Third. We are fighting to rouse the
whole nation to a sense of its duty to
ward children. It is to the children
we must look for the advancement of
the future, for the civilization of the
future. We cannot do too much to
ward laying the right foundation in
childhood.
Want Trained Fathers
Fourth. We want our men to have
higher standards of morality and a
deeper sense of the sacredness anl
purity of marriage. Therefore we are
fighting for the education of the
young men as future fathers and
founders of homes. We believe in
training men for fatherhood, as well
as in training girls for motherhood.
Would Teach Girls Executive Work
Fifth. We want our girls of the pres
ent day to learn how to do the execu
tive work of a home —this is what the
modern girl must'learn if she would b_-
a true success in the womanly profes
sion of the wife and mother. .
Want Higher Standard for Men
Sixth. We want our girls to insist
upon higher standards and cleane
habits in the young men with whom
they associate. I think it is a girl’s
duty to refuse to condone even the
small r vices indulged in by her men
friends, and thus establish at the star:,
a rule of conduct from which they will
not dare to depart, at least while clam
ing her friendship.
Must Rouse Leisured Women
Seventh. We want the women of
leisure, the women of means, to use
their time and their influence in the
great upward and onward movement
for better social conditions. The wom
en of leisure is the free lance in so
i
eiety, and it is she who has the big op-
Ipcrtunity to further civilization.
Girl of Leisure Must Help
Eighth. We want the girl of leisure,
the girl w-ith the exceptional advant
l 1
age for culture, to give herself to the
i
study of the vital problems aff-ctin :
itlie r ice. Her influence may be un-
I! hounded, for she has the ways and ta«*
means to do great things. She should
| turn her talents, her brain, her culture,
■
;to the end that really means most to
humanity—the study of home-buildin ;
’I
in the largest sense.
Mould Promote Efficiency
Ninth. We are fighting for greater
* fflciency in our young people, in ail
j practical matters of life. Especially do
we want to see girls and wor n of to
day well trained, thoroughly equipped
; in household arts. The girls of to-day
s are sadly lacking in such usefulness.
Want Hallot (hove All
T. nth. Last of all—and this should
, really be first —we are fighting for the
ballot, for only through this weapon,
which, as I contend, is a human wean
» ’
on and not merely a woman’s righ r .
can we ever accomplish all there is
n us to accomplish o r the world.
t The Dawson News celebrated it’s
hirty-ftrst birthday this week. The
Terreil county paper has a right to
, fee) proud of it’s record. It has u
hustler for an editor.
The message studiously refrained
roin anthing so raw as calling Huerta
a a presidential chair hog—New York

THE •‘OLD-FASHIONED’* GIRL
“What has become of the old-fash
ioned girl who used to pride herself
on her wasp waist? If the Balkan
war did no more than to bring about
a style that would loosen up the waist
line, it was justifiable,’’ says the An
niston Star and Hot Blast.
Whereupon the Montgomery Times
indulges in comment not cjuite com
plimentary to the modern girl but
very laudatory of the “old-fashioned '
girl. "The same girl, with the sam?
soul and the same heart is here all
right,’ says the Times, “but her, en
vironments are different.
“The men of the present day pay no
attention to the old-fashioned, inno
cent, clean, hearted girl, but they
run after and pay all their attentions
to the little butterflies who pander to
their morbid taste and wear
all the freak fashions of the day, and
so conduct themselves that their
grandmothers would hang their heads
in shame and be backward in owning
them.”
Then the Times exclaims “Give us
the old-fashioned’ girl, pure as the
morning-glory that blooms in the
bright sunshine with no cultivation
except what nature gives, and yet
more beautiful than any touch that
the painter's brush can portray. These
are the girls who make good and true
men and inspire them with a lovl
for duty and for their community.”
We have nothing to say against the
old fashioned girl that the Times
Seems to like so well. In fact we like
her ourselves. But then fashions
have changed. The Montgomery scribe
should be a little more lenient with
the fair ones. Man is himself respon
sible to a large d gree for prevailing
fashions as women dresses to please
the opposite sex to a certain extent.
The modern girl usually makes as good
a wife and mother as her sister of the
hoop skirts. Hats off to them both—
The old fashioned gi:J and the twen
tieth century beauty.
The aviators havent yet proved
whether “everv clour has it’s silver
»
lining." is true or no t.
The nice things about the way a
girl keeps a secr- t is the unselfish
spirit she shows when she lets another
girl help her keep it.—Exchange.

WHAT ALBANY THINKS OF US.
The following is from the Albany
Herald: ,
“The Americus delegation which at
tended the State Chamber of Commerce
meeting in Macon Tuesday was one of
the biggest and most enthusiastic on
the ground. It was a bunch of boos
ters abundantly supplied with noise,
enthusiasm, advertising matter and
other limelight accessories, and
who ran could read that they were
from a live town.
God gave us two ears and only one
tongue. And yet we reverse the ratio
as far as talking and listening are
concerned.
A girl likes for a young man s o
have taking ways. That is if thev
consist in taking hints. —Exchange.
A woman is of such an aesthetic
' nature that she will spend several
minutes at the breakfast table admir
ling the flowers there while her hus
hand is mowing down piles of hot
cakes and sipping his coffee with th 2
mufffer cut out.
No doubt the delegates to the re- |
, I
. frigeration congress will be entire,y
satisfied with cold storage speeches.

tent regarding his innocence if he
were a New York gunman.
