When Charity Really Begins
At Home.
That the American people, and
particularly the people of the
South, are among those most easi
ly gcilded in the world was never
better or more clearly illustrated
Jlian in the cu&e of the two Kurd
fakirs who were arrested a few
davs ago in Macon and sent back
to Atlanta on warrants sworn out
by the secretary of the Associated
Charities of that city. It is a clear
.demonstration of the fact that all
a slick swindler needs to make his
way into the heart and pocket
book of the people is to cook up a
plausible story, forge a name or
two of supposed prominent people,
if it‘s necessary to give weight to
his yarn, and reap a harvest of
dollars.
In this particular case it was an
orphanage in Ninevah, for which
“Deacon” Michael Joseph and
“Archdeacon” Bejan were rais
ing funds. Their story was one
which touched not only the lay
men, but was taken into the
churches, where contributions
were raised for the “orphanage,”
until a native Persian college
professor, who happened to be
visiting Atlanta, learning of the
imposition and gave it away, but
not. soon enough to keep the two
wily ones from gathering in the
shekles which had been piled up
for them and escaping to Macon,
where they were eventually cap
tured.
When the baggage of the pair
was searched there was found the
tools .'f operation in the shape of
“letters” from a bishop and the
dignitaries of the Chaldean church,
all of them forgeries, but which
had been accepted as genuine,
without question, by business
men of prominence, and with
which the fakirs were given a sol
id footing for their further opera
tions. They have confessed, since
their capture that there is lo or
phanage, and that they are the
“poor orphans.”—Chronicle.
Equalizing Marriage.
A New Jersey youth who sent
his fiance a set of handsomely
bound books in the place of the
proverbial engagement ring has
been forced to submit to consider
able criticism from the sentiment
alists.
He explained his violation of the
old custom in the following lang
uage ;
“In times long gone by, the
man either captured his female
partner, or purchased her from
her parents with presents. When
she was his, he placed a crude
ring on her finger. It, was regarded
as a symbol of inferiority and it
made the wearer appear in the
light of personal property. Now
mv wife is not going to lie chattel
but mv equal and companion.”
His reasons are somewhat log
ical, it not popular. One may
wonder why women, the angel* of
men, should cling so tenach usly j
to the relics of their own deby* ■-j
ment. The engagement ring < o
her finger typifies enslavement,
the bracelet, i n her arm and the
necklace* about miladv’s neck arc
the descendants of heavy chains
us'h! fnr the purpose of restraint.

Removal of the Capital.
Macon haß actively begun, the
capital removal fight and we are
with ine Central City It is the
p/oper place for i lie Capital of
the state anti if it is not to co»t u !
great Bum of money the tax pay
ers are going to help in the re
moval also.
In the lust few years South
Georgia has made great gain- in
population, more than any other
section of the state, then Central
Georgia is also t< lie reconed with
Atlanta is only convenient to
North Georgia and the time has
come when tne Gate City will
have to give wav.
We are all proud of the great,
city of Atlanta, proud that it is a
Georgia city but we have to look
a little ways to convenience.
Every person has more or less
some business in the State Capita*
mid the city that has that honcr
should be the one located where it
would be the most convenient to
the greatest number of people.
Judging from the map of the state
Macon has that honor. It is near
est for South Georgia people and
it is most convenient for the Cen
tral Georgia clan. It is only North
Georgia that cun raise a howl and
we don’t believe the good people
of that section of the state would
do much talking against Macon.
It is truly the Central City and it
has so much to recommend it as
an ideal Capital City.
Macon is pledging a site that
will be fit for the Capitol build
ing and the good citizens of that
city are pledging $1,000,000 to
help in the construction of a State
House that w ill be more suited to
the «rreat state of Georgia than
the one at present located in At
lanta.
We people in South Georgia
must all get in this fight. We
must help the Central City Let
our watch word be “move the
State Capital to Macon.”
The Farmers’ New Year.
According to the statistics given
out by the government, the South
ern States produced during the
lust year one-third of the corn
crop of the United States. Os this
every farmer who planted corn
should be proud.
But there are other products
that should receive attention be
side corn. Cnrn ea > be fed to hogs
and this will do much to affect the
high price of meat. Hay should
la* produced in quantitis sufficient
to keep the money in the South in
stead of sending West or else
where. Better breeds of stock
should be raised, and thus a new'
standard set for dairy products
and work animals.
The 9 points noted by the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal for the
farmers 6t that state are reproduc
ed here for Georgia farmers:
1. Deeper seed bed and prepara
tion of the 6oil.
2. The value of saving our barn
yard manure.
8. Better drainage for our soil.
4. Stop buying corn, hay and
hog meat.
5 Hogs.
G Dairy cows.
7. A supply of canned fruits and
vegetables.
8. Value of hoys’ corn clubs in
your community.

women are nervous wrecks.
pf But whether you are weak physically or nervously, Pf

H It builds strength for the physical and nervous systems. Kg
