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. — Ex. Some people won’t be satisfied until the corporations have a death rate of 100 ner cent. * I 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. 9 Are we reading at least, two farm journals and availing our selves of the bulletins of the Uni ted States Depnitment of Agicul ture?—Telegraph.
