C. S. M. A. TO HOLD
20TH SESSION AT
REUNION IN OCT.
ATLANTA, Sept. s.—Twelve
states will be represented at the Con
federate reunion in Atlanta October
7-10, when the Confederated South
ern Memorial association will hold a
joint meeting with the United Con

Confederate Veterans.
This will be the twentieth conven

which she heads.
The national officers of this, the
oldest organization of patriotic wo
men in America, are women who rep

of the South, and who have preserv
ed the traditions and sentiments of
the old South since 1866 with loyalty
■ and devotion.

tions has been to keep the graves of
Confederate soldiers in order, to
build monuments and to hold annual
ly a Memorial Day service when the
graves of the dead heroes of the Con
. federacy are decorated with flowers.

My Style Diary

fl/ Lra
SEPTEMBER STH.
DOOR Betty tried so hard not to
* cry when I put her on the train
for home and kissed her good bye.
We had lunch in town and went to
a matinee, and then to the station;
and today I feel the house is quite
empty without her. She wore her
new hat and the fur piece I gave
her (as a parting gift), and her
new dark blue duvetyn. It was a
simple little frock and very be
coming—she chose it herself. It
had absolutely no trimming—the
sleeves were very short and the
neck line straight. It was all in
one piece, with a sash of the same
that ran through slits either side
of the front and back, forming
sort of tucks; the belt ending in a
flat pump bow in the back.
What More Could She Want?

has agreed to undertake to bring |
about a conference between repre-
' sentatives of the steel workers and ■
I the United States Steel Corporation

a telegram sent him today by Samuel
Gompers, head of the Americus Fed

of steel men, to say whether a con
ference could be arranged before
next Tuesday when the presidents of
twenty-four international unions in

NEPHEW OF SLATON
WINS ELECTION FIGHT
ATLANTA, Sept. 5. —The muni
! cipal election in Atlanta contained
■ something more than local interest in
the election of R. H. Jones, Jr., to
I council. He is a nephew by mar
! riage to former Governor John M.
Slaton and of former Superintendent
of Schools W. M. Slaton, of Atlanta.
A fight was made on, Mr. Jones be
cause of the Slaton relationship, in
volving the popularity of his two
uncles. Mr. Jones carried each vot
ing precinct and becomes a member
of council for the next two years, be
ginning January 1, 1920. He is a
prominent young lawyer of Atlanta,
a graduate of Princeton college, and
a native Georgian.

Harris Mild i
Mannered and
Gets Results i
United States Senator 'William
J. Harris, Georgia’s junior senator,
is the subject of a special article
by John Temple Graves, the well
known Georgia author, in Hearst’s
Magazine this m< rth, along with
Senators Underwood, Fletcher and
Watson. The article says:
“One of the very newest of the
new crop of statesmen who have
come to Washington with the 66th
Senate is William J. Harris, of
Georgia.
“And Senator Harris is as new
in type and method as he is in the
modest and gentle face which looks
at the vice president from the outer
edge of the democratic benches.
He is one of the remarkable type
of new public servants in great leg
islative bodies whose service is
steady and tireless but never bla
tant. It is probable that in twelve
years of senatorial service, Wil
liam J. Harris will never essay a
great senatorial argument, or ap
peal to the galleries and the ‘Con
gressional Record’ with an eloquent
oration. But it is safe to wager
that whenever his senatorial career
is done there will be found to his
credit more things secured for
Georgia men and Georgia towns
and Georgia counties —for Georgia
rivers and Georgia harbors than
most senators win in twice that
time.
“The new senator was started by
Pres. Wilson in the beginning of
his administration as director of
the census.’ Here he attracted the
president to those qualities of
judgment, fidelity and manage
ment which Wilson loves, and the
executive called him higher to the
Federal Trade commission, of
which he became chief.
“Senator Harris is of a remark
able family whose members win in
public life unfailingly behind the
gentlest and most unobtrusive
manners. His brother, General
Peter Harris, who succeeded as
adjutant, general of the United
States’; is-one of the softest man
nered' .soldiers who ever signed an
order, and yet you will search
long before you can find a com
plaint against his administration
in the records. His elder brother,
J. C., Who is perhaps the ablest man
of’ his race, has been content for
two decades to be an admirable
superintendent of public schools in
Georgia.”
MOTHER RIVER
SUICIDE, HOLDING
4 MO. OLD CHILD
MACON, Sept. 5. Apparent
ly giving mute evidence of the sui
• cide of Mrs. J. H. Mathis and her
; 4-year-old daughter, Mary Thomp
| son, by jumping into the Ocmulgee
river Thursday afternoon, hats and
. other property of the mother and
daughter were found on the bank
of the river at the foot of Central
avenue Friday morning.
Grief over the death of her hus
band, who was killed by an automo
bile eleven months ago, caused the
mother to take her baby girl and
leap into the river it is supposed.
They had just visited the grave of
the husband and father, who was
a well known salesman here, in Rose
Hill cemetery.
Mrs. Mathis disappeared Thursday
morning from the home of her
mother, Mrs. W. H. Whitehead, No.
! 906 Orange street. Saying she was
■ going shopping she took her daugh
| ter, one of the prettiest little girls
i in Macon, and boarded a Bellevue
car. She left the car in the business
i district and is supposed to have gone
I from there to the cemetery.

FIND CREEL FAMILY WEALTH
Two Million Pesos Was Turned Over
to Mexican Government for
Identification.
Mexico City.—When representatives
of the famous Creel family of Chi
huahua recently appeared before the
government officials here with requests
' for information regarding the where
abouts of mining, railway and other
valuable stock valued at close to 2,-
000,000 pesos, they were astonished to
learn that the stock, as well as about
2,000,000 pesos in paper money, was
held by the national treasury for iden
j tification of ownership and that it only
! had been discovered a few months ago.
According to published accounts,
! workmen, while cleaning out a spare
I room in the building used by the fed-
■ eral district government, found a score
; of locked boxes which contained the
! paper money and shares. Neither the
governor of the federal district, Gen.
! Alfredo Breceda, nor the district court,
after guarded investigations, could
determine who owned the treasure, so
it was turned over in trust to the
, national treasury.
The theory is that during the first
revolutionary troubles which resulted
in the downfall of Porfirio Diaz the
boxes were sent from Chihuahua to a
' private residence of the Creels here
and that when the Zapatistas first en
tered Mexico City they were placed In
charge of the federal district govern
' ment.
The Creel representative stated that
a large sum of metallic currency and
a valuable collection of jewels also
vfere being sought, but of these easily
realizable riches no trace has been dis
covered.
WAR ALTERS BRITISH YOUTH
Flippancy of Modern Young Men
Rather Upsets Their Staid and
Dignified Elders.
London.—What has happened to our
conversational manners? The war has
altered them, but while some people
consider that It has improved them
others think it has sent them to the
dogs. The only point of agreement is
that they are different from what they
used to be.
For instance, the elderly managing
director of a sedate city company war
a little surprised the other day when
Major Crasher, the stockbroker, lately
demobilized from the R. A. F., ended
a business talk over the telephone
with the phrase: “Righto, my dear
old bean 1"
Was that familiar style of pddress
to be considered “quite all right,” and,
in fact, rather agreeable, or something
the reverse?
Then the young lady clerk who used
to be in the war office rings her mother
up from the city and exclaims: “Hello,
old thing! I shall be going to the the
ater tonight, so don’t wait up. Ta-ta,
old creature!” .’ ’
The young man who was In the O.
T. C. slaps his father on the back and
says: “I say, old china, why don’t
you get a fefl’ a new clothes? Trim
yourself up a bit—eh? You’d do with
a new hat, too. Rotten old hat you’ve j
got. Well, so long, old boy. Now, hop
off, old sport, or you’ll miss that train."
Did our great-grandfathers address
our great-great-grandfathers in that
cheerful but familiar style after their
return from the battle of Waterloo?
Spiders and Gold.
Ono of’ the many quaint superstl- |
tions of the sixteenth century was that I
“Spiders be true signs of great stores

way: "When a passage to Cathay (the i
China of today) was being sought by i
the Northwest, a man brought home a
stone which was pronounced to be!

several vessels were fitted out for the
express purpose of collecting gold
