CHILD LABOR BILL
SIGNED BY PRESIDENT
Washington, Sept. I.—Presi
dent Wilson today signed the
child labor bill. In signing the
bill the president said:
"l want to say with what real
emotion | sign this bill, because 1
know how long the struggle has
been to secure legislation of this
sort and what it is go'ng to mean
to the health and to the vigor of
the country, and also to the hap
piness of those whom it affects.
It is with genuine pride that 1
play my part in completing this
legislation. 1 congratulate the
country and felicitate myself.”
The ceremony was witnessed
by Secretary Wilson, Senator
Robinson, Representative Keat
ing, Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of
the children’s bureau of the de
partment, and a large group of
men and women interested in the
legislation.
The law becomes effective on

} German army doctors are using
{sugar with great success in the
{lrc;\!nwm of wounds, it is report
ed. The method is simple. The
| wound is dressed wth granulated
sugar, and then bound. The
sugar does not act as a disinfect
lant, and must not be applied un
{ul bleeding has been arrested.
| But when (applied to a clean
| wound surface healing proceeds
with astonishing rapidity.
| No washing of the wound is
{ necessary when redressing, which
Lis merely a matter of renewing
| the application of sugar every
| second or third day. The sugar
| dressing has also the advantage
| that there is no adhesion to the

LEGEND OF CHEROKEE
ROSE, GEORGIA’S OFFI
| CIAL FLOWER
l The legend of the Cherokee
Rose, which was adopted by act
of the legislature which has just
adjourned, as the official flower
of Georgia, is taken from Miss
M. Rutherford’s page in the Con
federate Veteran. The historian
general says it is from “Georgia:
Land and People,” by Francis S.
Mitchell, of Athens:
“A proud young chieftain of
the Seminoles was taken prisoner
by his enemies, the Cherokees,
and doomed to death by torture:
but he fell so seriously ill that it
became necessary to wait for his
restoration to health before com
mitting him to the flames.
As he was lying prostrated by
disease in the cabin of a Chero
kee warrior the daughter of the
latter, a dark-eyed maiden. was
his nurse. She rivaled in grace
the bounding fawn and the young
warirors of her tribe said of her
that the smile of the Great Spirit
was not so beautiful. Was it any
wonder that, though death stared
the young Seminole in the face.
he should be happy in her pres
ence? Was it any wonder that
they should love each other?
“Stern hatred had stifled every
kindly fecling in the hearts of the
Cherokees, and they grimly wait
ed the time when their enemy
must die. As the color slowly
returned to the checks of her lov
er and strength to his limbs the
dark-eyed miaden cagerly urged
him to make his escape. How
could she see him die? But he
would not agree to seek safety in
flight unless she went with him.
He could better endure death by
torture than life without her.
“She yielded to his pleading.
At the midnight hour they silent
ly slipped into the dim forest,
guided by the pale dight of the
silvery starts. Yet before they
had gone far, impelled by soft re
gret at leaving her home forever,
she asked her lover’s permission
to return for an instant that she
might bear away some memento.
So, retracing her footsteps, she
broke a sprig from the glossy
leafed vine which climbed upon
her father’s cabin, and preserv
ing it during her flight through
the wilderness planted it by the
door of her new home in the land
of the Seminoles, where its milk
white blossoms, with golden cen
'tcrs, often recalled her childhood
days in the far-away mountains
of Georgia.
“From that time this beautiful
flower has been known through
out the Southern states as the
Cherokee rose.
“The Indians have passed away
from this beautiful land they lov
ed so well, but the memory of
them still lingers and will linger
forever in melodious names of
Georgia’s mountains, rivers and
vales.”
HEREAFTER 1 shall deposit my
money in The Exchange National
Bank. I see in recent sworn state
ments published in Fitzgeraid papers
that it BEARS EAR-MARKS of
GREAT STRENGTH. I understand,
also, it is an HONOR ROLL BANK.
[ don’t know exactly what that
means, but evidently it has done
something EXTRAORDINARY for
the benefit and protection of the pub
lic, or else it would not have AT
TAINED THIS HONOR.—Mr
Reasoning Mingd.

NEW JUDGESHIP
SALARYLESS JOBS
No Provision Made to Pay Extra
Members of Court
Atlanta, Sept. I.—lt was learn
ed today that no provision has
been made for the remuneration
of the three new judges of the
Court of Appeals provided for by
the last General Assembly and
for which places fourteen lawyers
are now waging a heated contest.
Investigation shows that the
act enlarging the court of which
Senator Lawrence of the First
senatorial district was author,
says not a word about salaries to
be paid the judges. The result
will be that whoever wins these
places will be thrown on the mer
cy of the next General Assembly
and will have to wait until a spec
ial appropriation provides them
with pay. As they go into office
on January 1, they will have to
wait until July at least before
they can hope to draw anything
from the state.
The same thing happened when
the Court of appeals was first cre
ated. The judges then elected
had to wait several months until
special provision could be made
by the following legislature for
their salaries.
Another gratis job for which
there is a host of applicants is
that of state inspector of factor
ies, created by the last legislature.
[t carries a salary of $1,200 per
annum, but no appropriation has
been made for the payment of the
salary.
Commissioner of Commerce
and Labor H. M. Stanley will not
make this appointment until next
spring.

S ) Spection of Dl'ug's under the
State Board/rf Pharmacy or the Pharmaceutical Association where it belongs.
He is"a shiccessful Business Man-Farmer. The farmers of the State have hon
ored him with the highest office in their State Organization.
He is thoroughly conversant with the details of the office, having served as
Assistant Commissioner for two years and he proposes to convert the office from a
political to a business machine.
He was elected four years ago by popular vote, but by manipulation of the spe
cial interests whe favored his opponent, the present incumbent, he was defeated in the
State Convention. He received ten thousand more votes than the man declgied eletted
and who now holds the office. . e
He shows by the State Auditor’s report of January 1, 1916, on “Condition of
Public Funds” that wanton extravagance in the department has been tife rule. The
report shows on page 28 that in the year 1915 there was charged out to cash expense
for traveling $21,617.83 at straight ticket rate whereas the cost for mileage such as
all business firms use would have been 20 per cent less, or a saving to the State of
$4,323.56 in one year on traveling expense alone.. The same condition applies to year
1914.

Alex Stephens Entitled To
CourtA of Appeals Judgeship
Alex Stephens, candidate for one of
the three judgeships om the bench of
the state court of appeals, recently
created by the legislature, is well
known to the people of Georgia. More
than 70,000 Georgia voters cast
their ballots for him for the same of
fice two years ago when he made a
splendid race, just missing election.
This magnificent showing, in the opin
ion of his friends and many Georgians,
now entitles him to election to one
of these places.
Mr. Stephens was reared in Talia
ferro and Wilkes counties; is a grad
uate of the University of Georgia; has
been in the active practice of the law
about 20 years, and is a regular con
tributor to law publications.
He is endorsed as to his qualifica
tions by those who have presided as
judges on the highest courts of Geor
gia and by those who have practic‘ey
in these courts. |
From mnany favorable press com
ments, the following is presented: ‘
The Savannah Press says: “Alexan-i
der W. Stephens is a nephew of Alex
ander H. Stephens, also nephew of
Judge Linton Stephens of the supreme
court of Georgia. His father was

partner of Alex H. Stephens, and at!
one time was adjutant general of Geor

[law and political books of Alexander
H. Stephens. On his mother’s side
'he is the grandson of the late Wil

county. He is descended from the
Wingfield family of which there are a
number of descendants in Georgia.”
Here are good reasons why
he should have your support:
He is the candidate of neo

He pledges that if elected,
he and his administration will
be in the forefront for pro
gressive plans for providing
cash markets for all products
of the farms, and will co-oper
