Every few days I get a letter from some man who emits a wild and heart broken wail because, he says, woman has gotten out of her proper place. Many of these melancholy gentlemen go so far as to express the further opinion that it is the business of the press to try to shoo the feminine sex back to where it belongs. Speaking for myself, I should gladly use what little influence I have with women in trying to corral them in their own particular little stockade if I only knew where the sacred spot was. What is woman’s proper place, any how? Will some wise brother please arise in meeting and Bpeak right out and tell ub? Is woman’s proper place the home? None of us deny it, and the great ma jority of women will answer the call in person if you ring their front door bell. But what about the tens of thousands of women who have no home in which to stay, whom no man has asked to marry them, and who are fated to never know the cling of little children’s arms about their necks? It is all right to say, Back to the home for yours, sister,” to the woman who has got a good hus band, and babies, and a cottage or a flat of her own, but how are you going to keep wompn in the domestic sphere who have neither a kitchen, nor a nur sery, nor a man of their own? I give it up. Is the woman who paints pictures, or writes, or acts, out of her proper place? I take it that when the good God puts talent into a woman’s head that He knew what He was about, and that He intended her to use the gifts He gave her. Otherwise it would be a foolish waste of valuable material. Certainly we should all be much poorer if there had been no Rosa Bon- heurs, no George Eliots, no Charlotte Brontes, no MrB. Humphrey Wards, none of the thousand delicate and facile fe male pens that delight and entertain us every day of our lives. Is Maude Adams out of her sphere when she makes us cry? Is Rose Stahl out of her sphere when she makes us laugh? Are Melba and Tetrazzini and Cavallieri out of their places when they lift us up to the seventh heaven with their voices? Yet all of these women occupy, conspicuous places and are very much in public. Evidently the men who complain of women being out of their proper places are thinking about the business women. Is a clever, strong, healthy young girl out of hqr place when she goes to work ,to support herself instead of sitting down idly at home and adding to the burden of a poor, weary, hump-should ered old father, who has toiled like a dray horse to raise his family and has come alraoBt to the end of his strength? Are the girls of a family who have good busln&a positions and who bring their money home to make an old mother co portable and educate younger brothers and sisters out of their places during working hours? , Ik the woman who is married to man whose health friils out 62 her place because she puts her shoulder to the wheel and helps the domestic wagon out of the ditch instead of letting it sink down into the mire? If you ask my opinion, I think that every woman who needs money for her self, or for her family, is exactly where she ought to be when she is earning it by her honest work. If the men of her family can’t support her, there is no reason why she Bhould not support her self, and help them, too, if they need it. For my part, 1 have never been able to see why it isn’t just as femi nine a thing, and as much in her line of duty, for a woman to be a prop to a man as it is to be a millstone about his neck. Is woman out of her place when she belongs to clubs? Isn’t it woman’s place to add to the sweetness ai)d light of life, and haven’t the women's clubs done more toward fostering the higher education, beautifying towns, support ing art galleries and picture shows, and givipg the country a generally esthetic “uplift, than all other causes combined? Is the woman of wealth and intelli gence and leisure out of her place when she devotes her energies to public re forms and charities? Where else would we look for our great philanthropies? Who would raise the money for our hospitals, for our fresh-air funds, for oar tuberculosis camps, for our societies lor »h* prevention of cru • ity to animals? There is not a com munity in this country that hasn’t some old maid or childless widow who is its good Samaritan, and nobody ac cuses ^er of being out of her proper sphere; except the evildoers on whose corns she treads. There are those who contend that a woman is out of her proper place—oh, millions of mileB out out of it—when she takes an interest in politics and wants to vote. Why? Has she not as much at stake in the country an any man? Does she not pay as many taxes? Ib she not affected by the laws just as men are? If food prices ad vance, does not the burden of making the family income go further fall upon her? If the streets are dirty and the water supply impure, does she not have to nurse her sick because of it; and if they die, is not her heart broken over their loss even more than any man’s? How can she be out of her place when considering the questions that are most vital to JJer? The truth is, there is no place in all the wide .world that is not woman’s place. First at the cradle and last at the tomb, she pillows man’s head in infancy on her breast, and kisses shut his eyes when he dies, and there is no hope, nq joy, no struggle, no labor, no victory, no defeat in hiB life in which her plgce is not always by his side. It is Idle to talk about sending woman back to her place. The earth is hers, and the fullness thereof, just as much as it is a'man’s. ing Home Supplies. Oconoe Enterprise. If our farmers would only break away from the all-cotton propaganda no country <ir section in this vast universe could compete with the South in fertili ty of soil, variety of .production, or richness of possibilities. Indeed, no section is so bountifully nature-favored as is Georgia and her sister States, eB< pecially Georgia. Everything needful for both man and beast can be success fully produced here. After aU is said and done, however, for the benefit and encouragement of the farmer, it rests finally with him to bring about an equable condition of farming operations, and the indications point fact ttiat he is now awak ening to a realization that the breakers are just ahead—and oblivion just a lit tle further away—for any farmer who continues to buy dollar corn with cotton which costs him at least nine cents to produce. This is the exact situation existing to-day all over the State, and this pre carious state of affairs will continue un til all home needfulB are produced by Georgia farmers on Georgia farms. Point out the farmer who “lives at home and boards at the same place” and we will show you a farmer who not only does not have to ask for credit or a loan, but has money to advance to his less provident neighbor. Summar ized briefly: Raise your own supplies— be your own banker. If the former suggestion iB religiously adhered to, the latter result will be a natural conse quence. The man who raises his own supplies, making cotton a side issue, is in posi tion to practically dictate the price to be paid him for his fleecy staple; and if he has an overplus of foodstuffs, well and good. There will be opened to him a ready market at living priceB for all he can produce of corn, hay, oats and wheat. Wake up, Mr. Farmer; a golden har vest dawn is upon us. Grasp the op portunity, and share in the resultant shekels that are due to shower upon you when every farmer produces his own supplies at home, and, instead of having to buy, has something to sell. Then will the South come into its own! “I just found out last night,” he said, looking nervously at his watch before he allowed the boys to order 'just one more before going home,”— 'that a man’s a fool to allow himself to be henpecked.” There was a general roar of laughter. Then one of the men asked: And how did you come to make that startling discovery?” Well, it was this way. My wife was jumping on me something fierce, and I couldn’t figure out how I de served it. So I spunked up and said ‘Look here, why do you always pick on me when yon're sore? Why don’t you raise thunder with Albert once in while?’ (Albert’s our youngest boy.) ‘Why,’ she says, ‘Albert wouldn 1 stand for it, that’s why!’ ” Good Reason for fils Enthusiasm. When a man has suffered for seyeral days with colic, diarrhoea or other form of bowel complaint and is then cured sound and well by One 1 or two doses of Cnamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, as is often the case, it is but natural that he should be enthusi antic in his praise of the remedy, and especially is this the case of a severe attack when life is threatened. Try it when in need of such a remedy. It never fails. Sold by all dealers. Fred Douglas. Ju. C.lluwny In Macon T«lesnu>h. Rochester, New York, erected in hon or of Fred Dougins a monument which Btnnds in the little park near tho rail road station. Douglas’ Arat wife waa a negro woman, and is buried in Roches ter. Hia sccondwifo waa Helen Pitta (white), and her father was Gideon Pitts, of Honeoye, Ontario county, New York, and hia family waa the top of Ontario aristocracy. The Pitts were the blue bloods of Honeoye. Gideon Pitta waa an extreme abolition- iat—waa active in bringing on tho war, and was a severe critic of the South af ter the war. Pitta waa a Republican politician and a member of CongreaB, and there met Fred Douglas. He grew fond of Douglas and the cause of the negro, and had Douglas to visit him at hia home in Honeoye. Pitta' son-in-law, Mr. Short, esteemed it a great honor to ride nine miles to the depot station to meet the honorable Douglas and talk politics and convey him to the Pitts home. At the home Pitts and Short and family discussed the "wrongs” of the negro race. Thus Miss Helen Pitts was brought in contact with Douglas, who waB a smart mulatto. Interested in her fath er’s politics, she became interested in Douglas, a member of the ‘"downtrod den” race. But when Douglas asked for the hand of Miss Helen old man Pitts waa outraged—got msd —grew hot in the collar, and swore his hospi tality had been taken advantage of. Douglas quietly insisted that he had been recognized as a guest, honored as one, and as such had won the affections of Miss Helen, a woman 3G years of age- and they married. Gideon Pitts and son-in-law Short never became reconciled. They cut the acquaintance of Douglas and hia white wife. The affair created nation al gossip at the time. It was bo un i indeed a noted exception. Pitts disinherited hiB daughter and left to Mrs. Pitts the portion intended for his daughter. Pitts was for the negro, but not at his own expense—the expense of his family. After Pitts’ death the mother gave the Bhare of the estate to her daughter. After the death of Gid eon Pitts, who survived Douglas, his wife, Mrs. Pitta, went to Washington and lived with her daughter, and died there. When her body was brought home, accompanied by her daughter Helen, Short, the Bon-in-law, still un reconciled, refused to make peace. It was to him a stain that would not,wash out. Yet Short was largely to blame. He had received Douglas as a guest, a social equal. When DouglBs died his wife, Helen, and the senB of Douglas by his negro wife, accompanied the remains to Roch ester, where Douglas was buried by the side of his negro wife. Douglas and Helen had no children. Douglas was an educated negro and a great pet of the Republicans of reconstruction days. Gideon Pitta was an advocate of Thad Stevens and his policies. He gloried in Reconstruction and all it meant and all it brought and wrought. But when Douglas brought him to the acid test, how he raged andfumedi Thad Stevens practiced what he preached. Indecent Fiction. Omaha Boa. The time has come for effective pro test against the vicious tendency of many Action writers to weave their stories around immoralities and other forms of, social delinquency.- They do it, of course, because it : sells their wares and makes it less difficult to get publishers. I To what deplorable ends have we come if offr' literature must stand or fall solely upon Its money making power, ignoring not only the merit of writing, but the moral influ ence as well? Are we headed toward the time when salacious word-painting shall determine the merits of "best sellers? ” The defense offered, of course, Is that immora! characters and phases of life have always formed a part of standard Action; that some of the most revered of the old authors dealt in them. So they did, but for a wholly different reason and in a totally different man ner than the motive and method of to day. The old writer made his vjllian or immorality the pattern of vice to be shunned, while the offending modern author makes a pattern of virtue and heroism. The former fletionist clothed these characters in hateful attire; the present-day writer makes them attrac tive, alluring and, to the unwary, ac ceptable. Fixing the Blame. Judffo. "Yes,” said Mrs. Jenks, "on the whole, Freddy an5 Kate take after their father. -Of course Kate gets her big brown eyes from me, and Freddy his cute little roBebud mouth — the Jenkses all have ungainly features— but otherwise they’re their father’s children. “Of course, though, Freddy’s schol arly tendencies come from my side of the family. I always wbb among the foremost in my class at Bchool. And Katie absolutely cannot bo made to vary a hair's breadth from the truth. That trait, I suppose, she doeB get from me—that and her ability to overlook the faults of others, and her modesty. She’s so neat and orderly, too. If there’s one thing I never could tolerate it’s disorderllnes8. Mr. Jenks used to be so careless about throwing things around that he nearly drove me wild. "Freddy’s teacher says he shows great promise in his piano study. His father, Mr. Jenks, used to teach vio lin, you know; but I think Freddy in herits hiB talenta from a cousin of mine who played the mandolin. He couldn’t road tho notes, but really he was a virtuoso. “Katie seems real handy with needle and thread, just as I waa. Why, I could mBke doll dresses when I was 4. You would die laughing to see how eiumsy Mr. Jenks is when he mends his socks. Katie’s so induBtrlous—she re resembles me in that. Mr. Jenks is really fearfully lazy. He grumbles be cause he has to cook breakfast for him self and the children. “On the wholo, though, I think they resemble their father. They’re bo irri table at times when things don’t go Bmoothly, just as he is. And Freddy’s deceitful occasionally, and he makes the most horrid faces. I’ve caught him stealing jam, too. Of course, as I said, some of their good qualities they inher it from my side of the family, but mostly 'they take after Mr. Jenks. Children are an awful trial.” The Empty Nest. Macon Nowi. You have found, in your walk in the wood an empty neat. The mocUing-birfl nestlings hod flown. That nest was wrought with loving care, with a wisp of straw, a few feath ers from the mother’s awn breast, a twig enlaced with hair, and one fine morning with the sun they rose from their nest and were gone. Do they ever think of the empty nest? Does there come a longing for the old home when the day is done? And this reminds us of anothorlempty nest. We love it so—a group of nest lings and a mother's love. Some fell asleep; some flew away like tho little mocking-birdB. We all love to think of tho songs the children sung. We see again, sometimes, the walls where the pictured faces were. We dream of the empty cradle, the old-time clock and the rocking chair where we knelt to lisp the evening prayer in the days long gone. We see the blooming flowers, the spreading trees, the droning bees and the pond wo waded. We cannot go to the place again, and if we could there would be no baby faces to greet us. Poor mother, tired and wom, long sgo was borne away to rest by tender hands. Home is like the desolate nest left by the mocking-birds. But there, at last, when life’s race Is run, we would like to rest just at the tired mocking-bird that seeks its old home with the setting of the sun. Sure ly angel spirits will be hovering near the empty nests when the one-time fledglings wing their way hack to the haven fair.
