MAYOR’S COURT LOOKS FILE ONE RING CIRCUS From the crowd that appeared in the Mayor's court Monday morning on e would think that a circus was being pulled off in the council chamber. Four automobile and a motorcycle owners had been summoned to appear before the Mayor for violating section fifty-four which has to do with speed, license and mufflers. Mayor Everitt read the section of the city ordinance to the alleged violators of the law and dismissed the cases for speeding, but fined Mr. IV. B. It. Pennington $5.70 for not hav¬ ing his number registered with the Clerk, but said that the fine would be remitted when license was registered. The Mayor says that in the future all cases of reckless driving will be han¬ to the ordinances. touring the United States at the insti¬ gation of his home government, when his opinion was sought on woman suffrage. He said to give the woman herself a vote would be putting two ballots in her hand—as the husband is already her vote. But the good women of New York should certainly have some recourse in a govermental way. She is not respected as a higher type of the u man race than man. An incident in verification of this statement was the obnoxious conduct of a mullatto worn an on a New York subway when she blew into frenzy over some little inci dent, resorting to profanity of the sailor's vocabulary in her efforts to make plain he r attitude. Decent look ing white women on the car. and they were forced to submit to this outrage because no protection is afforded. The subway guard was silent; the bearded passengers never glanced up from the newspapers. A Southerner is tru¬ ly in a foreign land and as for com¬ plaint he might as well shout to the Kaiser to stop the actions of his sub¬ marines. The average New York woman needs something. It may be her own fault and this we believe. She certainly stands on no pedestal. fa r unlike the Southern woman. The one great cause is the collection NOTES MAY ACCOMPANY GIFTS BY PARCEL POST.

COVINGTON, GEORGIA, 16, 1915. DIRECTORS OF STREET RY. CO. TAKE STEPS. Resolutions Passed and Definite Steps are Taken to Start Work Immediately. Last week we carried an article •ing that Covington would have electric uis w itliin the next few months. We believed that we would have them and believe it yet. The Board of Directors of the Cov ington and Oxford Street Railway Co. met in Executive session last Tliurs lay night and definite steps were taken to complete the plans for the electric cars for Covington. 1 he following resolutions were pass ed by the Board: At a meeting of the Board of Dir ectors of the Covington and Oxford Street Railway Company, held on June 10th, tlin following resolutions were passed. RESOLVED; That for the pur pose of equipping and operating an electric street railway in Covington, j that sixty four shares of stock of the Covington & Oxford Street Railway be offered for sale at par value of $100.00 per share. j TERMS OF PAYMENT: 25 per cent July 15th, 2f, per c-ent September GLIMPSES AND GLANCES OF NEW YORK CITY The world war lias somewhat layed the cause of suffrage, in England where the militant antics have ceased hostilities under a flag truce. But in the north the ] ropa ganda goes on unabated. Much comment was indulged in be f'nuse of the incident when President Wilson was accosted with a letter in the interest of suffrage during liU vio it to New York several week;; ago. The suffragists have made Wall street and Broadway their favorite haunts. Al¬ most daily their “stump speakers’’ rat tie off tattie throughout the city. Thei r campaign along such lines it might be best to bestow the rights of suffrage on these species. They have their place along sidq the street orator who is found in ev¬ ery part of New York. The three favorite topics for these open air bom¬ bardments are suffrage, religion and “white slavery.” A humorous reply was made by a well known Chinese merchant who is 15th, 25 jier cent October 25th, and 25 per cent when the work is completed, The plan is to equip the present line from Covington to Oxford, but first eqtjip and put in operation the line from Georgia Railroad Station to the present terminus of the line in Coving ton. No obligation binding unless all stock offered for sale be taken. An electric ear line will mean lots to Covington In a business way and in the added conveniences that it pro vides. In the movement of the street railway company to give the people electric cars there is a two-fold pur pose. The stockholders will expect to derive some benefit from their money. On the other hand, every officer and stockholder so far as we know are men of the progressive type. Men who want to see the town increase in population and business and they want to help do these by adding more at traction and conveniences to our city, Co-operate with the street railway company and let’s have electrie oars here and let’s have them at once. in New York of a conglomerate mass from all parts of the earth who have become so infused and diffused as to present a condition of fearful propor tions as far as racial hearings arc con¬ cerned. The New Yory Naval Yard present s an insep’ring scene today Lie Drea 1 naught Florida, is in dry dock under¬ going repairs. The monster, New York, is being overhauled. The battleship Utah, is tied up at the dock, and the Arkansas rides in the waters of Wall about Bay. Several submarines are tied up with workmen busily engaged. The new Arizona is being prepared for her launching June 19th. At a later date we v. ill tell of a visit below deck on the Nzw York and a hurried excursion in o to of her turrets where two 14 inch guns receive their orders for action. The war continues to ex¬ cite tense interest in New York, but it is remarkable to witness the pa tier with which the great metropolis awaits each turn the United States—Germ¬ any controversyy. Only one explana¬ tion is traceable—an abiding faith in Woodrow Wilson. New York has been termed the “jin¬ go” center of Aemrica. It may be, but the coolness and calmness of a great number of her people is able to with¬ stand all the pressure of opposing fac¬ tions. Several New York»papers blaze aw¬ ay with hourly extras, with rumors based on mere flimsy fiction. It is this class of journals that should receive treatment at the hands of the pubic The Kaiser’s reply to tbe original Lusitania note has been re< eived and another note from President Wil on has been sent But if the scriousn -ss of America’s charges are tru - we can ill afford to waste time with “Alphon so-Gaston” exchanging of notes. A plain question can demand but one an¬ swer—a plain reply. If this is not forthcoming—well, other means which a nation possesses must be resorted to uphold her dignity. It is apparent that the German gov¬ ernment Is playing for time. If we are right let Us insist. If we are strong let us say so. NOTICE.

Notice To Teachers The regular State Examination for teachers will be held July 30-31. The reading course hool^s are the same as least year. “The Manual,’’ “The Teacher and the School,” and “Allen’s Civics & Health.” for primary and ele¬ mentary licenses. For the high school reading course, substitute “Holister’s High School” for “Allen’s Civics.” I would urge those teachers who can conveniently do so to attend some summer school in order to keep ab¬ reast with tlie best methods of teach¬ ing The next school term will be only six and a half months, and it will be expected that the tehebers do the same amount of work during this time that they have been doing In seven months. The teachers who find it ineovenient to go away for the sum¬ mer. 1 suggest that they do some home study work.

BILL TO SEPARATE TWO STATE OFFICES OFFICES OF THE COMTROLLER GENER AL AND INSURANCE COM¬ MISSIONER TO BE SEPARATE IF NEW BILL IS PASSED. Atlanta, June 16, 1915.—The propos¬ ed bill to separate the offices of comp¬ troller general and insurance commis¬ sioner, which will be introduced in the coining legislature, Is receiving wider comment than any other pending mea¬ sures. Since it became known that the bill is without political significance and is not an attack on anybody but simply an efficiency measure looking toward the stricter oj>eration of the state’s splendid insurance laws, there is said to be a strong probability that it will receive no opposition at all. The plan is simply to make the office of insurance commisioner a separate and distinct state house officer and to provide by law that the office shall be filled by an experienced and expert in¬ surance man, technically able to fill the position. Within the last two or three years it has been estimated that the people of Georgia have lost ten or twelve mil¬ lions of dollars through irresponsible insurance companies. It is declurou that if Georgia had an active, vigor¬ ous and watchful insurance commis¬ sioner, whose entire time could have been devoted to looking afte r the in¬ surance interests of the state, the citi¬ zens of Georgia would have been saved most of this tremendous sum of money which they have lost.
