Standard Drv Good Company Forsyth Street, Next tc Bank of Commerce, Ameiiciu, Ga. stituticnal amendment to limit ad valorem levies in counties and municipalities to 15 mills except taxes for the purpose of paying off their present bonded indebtedness. “The great oppression of taxa tion in Georgia today, is not state but that of counties and towns,” Mr. New declared. The features of his measure, he said, are that it will equalize rates between the counties and “make cur tax lav.-? more stable.” ‘lt will encourage economy in the expenditure of county and city money, it will prevent a few lo cal men from levying excessive rates on the.people for county pur poses." One objection that has been rais ed to the measure, Mr. New said is that more revenue would go to the state wider the present five mill levy because the c .'unties with their levying power restricted would resort to increased valua tions of property to increase their returns, But Mr. New called attention to the provisions of his measure that | would give the common schools one half of increased revenue , accru ing to the state. “And,” ne added, “as 117 poor counties draw back more than they pay to the state this defect is really a point in its favor, as it would help the cause of education and the poor counties instead of the rich ones. ‘I believe in the ‘pay-as-you-go doctrine’ and this bill would <jo more thany any one thac could be passed.” “A law could be enacted for this purpose, Mr. New added , ‘‘but I .hirtk a limitation on counties rri'.l towns should be written into the constitution so that future Legi slatures could not be varying the rates every summer apd so that in dustries as Well as ihdividuals when considering Georgia as « location would find it fixed in the consti tution and not a mere statute.” HEROD Mr. Mrs. Rob Jones, of Randolph, have visited Mr. W.

MOTHERS CLUB TO BE FORMED IN COLUMBUS COLUMBUS, Nov. 16.—Colum bus is to have a mothers club soon I composed of mothers of the high Y boys club. One of the first i things on the program for the. club i after the formation and election I I of officers is the arrangements for] i the father and sen banquet to be 1 given soon. | Ince’s “Soul of the Beast,” the ! feature attraction at the Rylander theater on Saturday, is better than a day at the circus, for the sights are all there without attendant dis comforts of heat and dust. The surging crowds, the loud mouthed . peanut, popcorn and lemonade I venders, the “hick” with staring ) eyes, taking in all the side shows, I are real as life for a real circus I was used to make this part of the | film. / The picture giejes a satisfying ! suggestion of the glamour of the sawdust ring and then shifts the scene to the tawdry life behind, where a close-fisted, grasping mu viliian begrudges even the food i they eat to the people who work i for him. r-ittle wenuer that wnen i the top of the tent blows off in a I terrific storm that “Oscar,” the big elephant, who is the troupe’s star performer, pulls away from capitivity, taking his small mistress with him. On the same program is William Duncan in ’ The Steel Trail,” and “Hold On,” a Century comedy.

It was barely seven. After be had ordered the dinner — and he thanked his stars that lie knew how to order a dinner —sh-j Said casually: ‘‘l had a call from your friend, Miss Dwight, today.” “Yes? You did not see her, I suppose?” “Oh, but I did. We talked for two hours. It was almost comical —the sheer delight in talking to a woman once more. I have never been what is called a woman’s woman, but I always had my friends, and I suddenly realized that I had missed my own sex.” “I shouldn’t fancy that you two would have much in common." "You forget that we were both nurses. We compared experiences: methods of nursing, operations, •doctors, surgeons, shell shock, plas tic surged, the various character istics of wounded men—all the rest of it.* “It must have been an exciting conversation ” “You never could be broqght to believe it, nut it was. Afterward, we talked of other things She seems to me quite, a remarkable woman.” “Entirely so. What is it she lacks that prevents men from fail ing in love with her? Men flock there, and she is more as a mind and a personality than any woman among us; but it is .ill above the collar. And yet those handsome-ugly women' often, capti vate men.” “You ask one woman why anoth er cannot fascinate men! I should say that it Is for want of transmis sion. The heart and passion are there —I will risk guessing that she has been tragically in love at least once—‘but there is something wrong With the conduit that carries sexual magnetism; it has been bent upward to the brain instead of di rected straight to the sex for, which it was designed. Moreover, she is too coldly and obviously analytical and lacks the tact to conceal ! t. Men do not mind being skewered when they are out for purely in tellectual enjoyment, but they do not love«it.” Clavcrtng lauglwd, ”1 fancy vour own mind is quite as coldly analytical, but nature took care of vour conduits-anil you see to the ‘act. You cannot teach Gora how to redistribute her magnetism, but: vou might give her a tew points.” “They would be wasted. It is merely that 1 am a woman of the world, something she will never be. And in my hey-day, I can assure •on. 1 was l not analytical.” “Your hey-day?" ”1 was a .good.many years young • r before the war, remember, ’leavens! How rowdy those young necple arO!

I have been quite •lose to th; ir kind in the tearooms ■nd 'heir accent is immlstakablc; ilthoitrfh the girls talk and act like ramincs. One of them seems to. know you.” Clavering had been conscious! •hat the restaurant was tilling with, •roups and couples, bound, no, toubt. for the opera or theatre. Hej followed Madame Zattiany's eyes.j tn the Middle of the room was ai large table surrounded by very ■•oung men and girls; the latter as; fragile and lovely as butterflies: 1 that pathetic and swiftly passing) youth of the too pampered Ameri-i can girl. The youth of this gener ation promised to be briefer than: evert He gave them a cursory glance,, nnd then his chair turned to pins.) lanet Oglethorpe sat at the head: of the table. What would the brat <fo? She had been fond of him as a child, but as he had found her detestable in her flapperhood, and) been at no pains to conceal his at titude, she had taken a violent dis like to him. Last night he had de liberately flicked her on the raw. He was not long in doubt. She had returned his perfunctory bow with a curt nod, and after a brief interval—during which she appear-) ed to be making a communication that was received with joyous hi larity—she left her scat and ran across the room. She might have been in her own house for all the notice she took of the restaurant’s other guests. Clavering rose and grimly await ed the onslaught. Even the wait ers were staring, but for the mo ment only at the flashing little fig ure whose cheeks matched to a shade the American Beauty rose of her wisp of a gown. Her big black eyes were spar kling wickedly, her vivid little mouth wore a twist that can only be described as a grin. She' had come for her revenge. No doubt of that. She bore down on him, and shook his unresponsive hand heart ily. “I’ve been telling them how dear and noble you were last night, dear Mr. Clavering, just like a reaj! uncle, or what any one would ex pect of one of granny’s pets. No doubt yd* saved my life and honor, and I wantto tell the world.” Iler crisp clear voice was pitched in G. It carried from end to end of the silent room. •» “Would that I were your uncle! Won’t you sit down? I believe that you have not met Madame Zat tiany.” Miss Oglethorpe had’not cast a glance at her victim’s companion, assuming her to be some writing person; although he did once in awhile take out Anne Goodrich or Marian Lawrence: old -girls—be ing all of twenty-four—in whom she took no interest whatever. She half turned her head with a barely perceptible nod. The tail of her eye was arrested. She swung round and stared, her mouth open. For the moment she was abashed.; whatever else she may have sub merged, her caste instinct remain ed intact and for a second she had the unpleasant sensation of stand ing at the bar of her entire class. But she recovered immediately. Grandes dames were out of date. Even her mother had worn her skirts to her knees a short tima. since. What fun to "show this left-over.” And then her spiteful naughtiness was magnified by an jger. Madame Zattiany had inclin !ed her head graciously, but made :no attempt to conceal her amuse ment. “Yes, I’ll sit down. Thanks.” She produced a cigarette and lit it. “Granny’s got a lot of ancient pho tographs of her girlhood friends,” she remarked with her insolent ■eyes on Madame ’Zattiany, “and one of them’s enough like you to be yon masquerading in the get-up of the eighties. ’Comes back to me. Just before mother loft I heard her discussing you with a hunch of her friends. Isn’t there some mystery or other about you?” “Yes, indeed! Is it. not so?” Madame Zattiany addressed her glowering host, her eyes twinkling. It was evident that she r< gardml this representative of the new or der with a scient'fic interest, as if it were a new sort of bug and her self an entomologist. “Probably,” she added indulgently, "the most mysterious woman in New York What would you call an adven turess if you were not too young tc he uncharitable. Mr. (Havering it kind enough to take me on trust." ‘ 3L fat* f ¥ \V 71 \ \ . al’ “'God! Life’must have been dull for girls in his day!’ ’’ Miss Oglethorpe's wrath waxed. This creature of an obsolete order had the*temerity to at her. Moreover — She Hashed a glance from Claverin'g’s angry anxious face to the beautiful woman oppo site, and a real color blazed in hr - cheeks. But she summoned a sneer. “Noble again! Has he told you o£ our little adventure last night?’’ “Last night?’’ A flicker crossed the serenity of Madame Zattianay’s face. “But no. Ido not fancy Mr. Clavering is in the habit of telling his little adventures." "Oh, he wouldn’t. Old stand ards. Southern chivalry. All the rest of it. That’s why he’s gran ny’s model young man. Well, I’ll tell you”— “You’ve been drinking again,” hissed Clavering. “Os course. Cocktail party at Donny’s”— “Well, moderate your voice. It Isn’t necessary to take the entire room into your confidence. Better still, go back to your own table.” She raised her voice. “You see, Madame Zattiany, I was running round loose at about one o’clock A. M. when whom should I run into bnt dear old Uncle Lee. He look ed all shot to pieces when he saw me. Girls in his day didn’t stay out late unless they had a bedim Ten o’clock was the limit, But did he take advantage of my unprotected maiden innocence? Not he. He stood there in the snow and delivered a lecture on the error of my ways, then took me to a delicatessen shop—afraid of compromising himself in a res taurant —and stuffed me with sand wiches and bananas. Even there, while we were perched on two high stools, he didn’t make love to me as any human man would have done. He just ate sandwiches and lectured. God! Life must have been dull for girls in his day!”- (T» Be Continued). FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 16, 192 J The homicide rate is higher Memphis, Tenn., than in any oth« city in the UnitGd States.
