Have Women The Right?
A prominent Moultrie lady, who at
tends church regularly and attends to
participate in the worship, called up
the Observer this morning and asked
If "a woman has the right to go to
church with something on he/ head
that will keep three or four people
behind her from seeing the minister."
The editor was speechless for a time,
and when he recovered himself he
begged to bo spared from expressing
himself on such a dangerous topic.
He was finally forced to consent to
present the said churchgoer’s pro
test In behalf of back-row Christianity.
Wo do it with the promise of her pro
tection. As for our part we would
continue to crane our necks out four
feet to get a glimpse of the minister
down the aisle before we would raise
a remark against these devout con
testants for supreme honors In high
top millinery. We never make re-
000,000. It had a profit, therefore, of
$140,000,000. Two years later, al
though lta output had fallen off only
seventeen per cent., and the average
selling price per ton had declined on
ly four and one-half per cent., and the
average cost had risen only four and
one-half per cent., the profits declined
to $80,000,000, or a loss of forty-three
per cent. The Steel corporation Is
now producing ten million tons per
year. A variation of only $5 per ton,
or seven per cent., In the average ton
price of Its product. If accompanied by
a variation In cost'means a variation
of $50,000,000 a year In lta profits.
This is enough to pay ton per cent,

of common stock. This Is why An

"prince" or a "pauper."

The Yanks Didn't Fight with Popguns.
ItopiesentaGve W. Bourke Cockrun
was delivering an impassioned speech
against the policy of Increasing the
navy, when he declared with vigorous
gesture that tne people of Greater
New York have no fear of being de
stroyed by a foreign foe. "The Amer
icaa spirit and courage In New York
is so great, Mr. Speaker, thut our
people would repel a foreign foe with
the cobiestouea from the streets be
fore they would surrender," finishing
Mr Cockran.
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi,
who was sitting near, remarked to
those around him: —
“That reminds me of the old blow-
hard we had down eur way. When
war was declared he'told his neigh
bors at the corner store that we could
whip the Yankees with popguns.
When the war was over, the same old
fellow, who did so much bragging, was
trying to explain the terrible result.
Some one spoke up and remarked:
•1 thought you said before the war that
could whip the Yankee* with pop
guns.'
'“I know I did ’ replied tho old fel
low, with ready wit, 'but the Yanks
didn't fight us with popguns.' "
