GEORGIA SUFFRAGETTES ARE
PLANNING FOR CAMPAIGN,
Toey Will Explode Their First Gun
At Next Session of Legislature.
Atlanta, Ga., April 21.—The suffra¬
gettes. of Georgia are planning to ex¬
plode their first bomb, figuratively
speaking, under the incoming legisla¬
ture this summer. It is understood
that they are secretly having an equal
suffrage bill prepared, and that they
have obtained the promise of two or
three prominent legislators to intro¬
duce it in the assembly and fight, for
it there. I
No matter what happens to the bill,
the purpose that every member of
the house and senate shall be forced
to go on record for or against it.
Then the suffragettes plan, w'hen the
next election comes, ’ to take the
stump against the legislators who
voted against their measure.
If they carry out their present in¬
tentions in that regard, Georgia will
be the first southern state to wit¬
ness political scenes such as those of
England, where it is quite customary
for the women to make speeches in
favor of their husband or friends who
are running for parliament.. \

THE COVINGTON NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL
A GALA DAy IN MAhGml.Lu.
Monday of this week was gala day
in Mansfield. Mr. Martin and Miss
Willis came down, graded ur school,
and placed it on the list of Standard
Schools of Georgia.
Being among the first to attain this
distinction, we are justly proud of
our school. This standardization has
been brought about by the untiring
efforts of our Home and Improvement
club, the hearty co-operation of our
honorable Board of Trustees and the
individual interest of our teachers.
Our Improvement club was organiz¬
ed the first of the year and enrolled
about thirty members. Since that
time several have withdrawn, but the
few have worked faithfully and the re¬
sults may be readily seen. Shade
trees have been planted on all parts
of the campus, rustic summer houses
have been built, vines planted around
these, a flower garden cultivated, and
the grounds carefully cleaned.
The building is in a most excellent,
condition. The club has money in
treasury for the put rose of placing a
large bell in ihc building and plans
are also ' on foot for equipping hte
campus with joggling boards, see¬
saws and swings for smaller children.
We have a tennis court, basket ball
court, a baseball ground and race
track for the amusement of the largei
pupils.
The Board has willingly endorsed
every plan put before them and cheer
fully contributed money and time to
ward its advancement.
Our teachers have been and are
still sacrificing their time and energy
in order to make every improvement
foi the upbuilding of the school and
tcwn.
With the propelling power we have
here, the encouragement and smiling
approval of our- clever County Super
intenden, and the help of our enthu¬
siastic Industrial Supervisor, we fee]
that Mansfield can no longer stand
still, but shall continue to furl in the
breezes that banner with the strange
device “Excelsior.”

SUNDAY TURKEY TROTTING.
If the old Puritan Sabbath buttress¬
ed by the drastic blue laws was. one
radical extreme, surely Sunday turkey
trotting is an even more undesirable
reaction in the opposite direction, ac¬
cording to the Macon Telegraph May¬
or Gay nor is said to have increased
his popularity by his order closing
New York’s gay cabarets at 1 o’clock
a. m., but, among distant observers a
least, he would be applauded if he
should dare further risks of the same
sort and shake his wand of authority
at the Sunday turkey-trotters.
Here is a brief extract from the
New York Sun’s lively account ot
what took place in .the “trotterie de
P-ustanoby” last Sunday.
‘‘A negro professor of the Texas
tommy gave the terpsichorean jiu
jitsu to the biege descendant of a
long line of Congo queens, chucked
her to the ceiling, caught her deftly,
slammed her from his left arm to his
l'ght and loosed a long howl—the
high gloat of an artist who knew his
work was good.
‘‘Was there Sunday turkey-trotting?
Was there?—wait a minute. The
negro professor hadn’t more than
finished polishing the floor with his
woman partner than a well known pro¬
fessor of mathematics in thus not un¬
known city plopped a woman’s hat on
the back of his head, announced to all
within hearing that he might be late
today for class in quadratic equations
but he should not worry, and sprang
on to tlie floor to imitate with an
exceedingly good looking woman the
dance just finished by the brunette
professionals.
“All at once the floor was crowd¬
ed—so crowded that French fieels
scoured the shiny patent leather sur¬
faces of patent leather boots; girls,
hearing ominous rips underneath,
were heard to inquire what the rea¬
son was for big boobs with two left
feet trying to dance; that sometimes
an elbow punched you in the ribs so
hard you grunted; so crowded in fact
that the dancers seemed locked in
one embrace, swaying ecstatically.
“Hopping and prancing, swaying
sliding, was a woman who couldn’t
have been a day less than 60, but
she had been following George Ma¬
rion’s famous maxim concerning the
turkey trot, “the more you drink the
tetter you dance it.” A cocktail and
a trot, a cocktail and a trot; so the
day passed.
“And this was the ‘hymn’ that in¬
spired the cocktailers and trotters ev¬
en more than the syncopated jang¬
ling of piano, banjo and drum:
“Slide, slide, keep on a-slidin’,
Glide, glide, keep on a-glidin’,
Honey, look into your baby’s eyes.
Put your arm around me.
Ain’t you glad you found me?
Tease, squeeze, lovin, and movin’
O, Babe, what are you doin’.”
“Truly, this is a ‘progressive’ age.
Even those who refuse to keep up
with the procession are in danger ot
being deafened by the noise and ren¬
dered giddy by the spectacle. What
avails protest that is drowned in the
clamor of innovators and pleasure
