Secretary H.Sidney Jones.of the Geor

his compilation of figures on the insane
of Georgia for the past twenty years
and they are quite interesting. The
statistics show there is an increase be
ing registered nearly every year.
In 1890 the ratio of insanity was 1 to
etch 1,012 of population. With the
beginning of the present century the
ratio in Georgia was 1 to each 869 of
population and in 1910 it climbed to 1
in every 826 of population.
At the piesent time there are 3,373
patients at the state sanitarium lure
and it is from these inmates that the
ratio is figured.

Representative Carl Vinson returned
from Atlanta yesterday where he ha?
been meeting this week with the com
mittee to cell tho governor’s mansion
in Atlanta. He is a member of the
committee and has been active in the
work.
It. was unanimously decided by reso
lution adopted to advertise the mansion
and property for sale and at tho same
time receive proposals for the convey
ing of other property on which a new
executive mansion may be erected.
The committee is as follows: Repre
sentatives Fullbright, Alexander,
Vinson, Hall and Davis; Senators
Matthews, of the 23d; JackBon, of the
21st, and McCollum, of the 38tti; Rep
resentative J. S. Davis, of Dougherty,
waB elected permanent chairman of the
organization. The following resolution
, was then passed:
"Resolved by the joint Committee
appointed bv tho general assembly of
Georgia to consider the disposition of
the executive mansion and grounds,
that this committee will re-assemble
on Friday the 14th day of April, 1911,
in the rooms of the Atlanta chamber of
commerce,
"Resolved further, That at that time
the committee will receive and con
sider uny proposals, seuled and in writ
ing, by any person, for the sale, leasp,
exchange or other disnosition of the
slate’s oxo.-utive mansion and grounds,
and that any person desiring to acquire
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
ALREADY AT ITS WORK
The organization of the Associated
Characlies was perfected Monday night
and rules and regulations made- for its
government. Messrs. Sidney D. Stem-
bridge and Leo Joseph were named as
the soliciting committee and they hnvn
inel greut encouragement in their work.
Already fifty annual members have
been secured and there is no doubt but
f lint 200 will be finall enrolled.
The cause is a great one for the city
and the edit, rials and comments by The
News have attracted state-wide at
tention. Hereafter there will be less
begging in Milledgeville and all worthy
cases will receive proper attention.

IT DOES PAY TO
KNOW THE STORES!
So grtal a p&rt af <every i'icome it «pertt in
-atjres, that it wornid fieere that, next to "rcinmnd,”
‘liie proper study of mankind is stores!"
To the reader* of the *ds, the stores ttlie on in
dividual character*—they become fanvilcr—they
cotie to be understood. The valae-tpving’“lsabits”
of .each store—and die service rendered b$ -each—
are known, and rijjhdy valued.
The ad-reader knows an exaggerated statement
by ac educated instinct: and tn ad that comes even
to the borderland of misrepresentation is a species
of stare-suicide.
Every merchant appreciates the Necesiaty of
“rnakifig good" every advertised price-concession—
as well as the further Necessity of making price
concessions that are real enough and notable enough
to make the store's advertising worth answering!
Thus the readers of ads keep in touch with all
buying opportunities in the stores of the city that
make for economy in the home expenses—and,thus,
to “know the stores’’ Does Pay!

THOSt LIFE STORIES.
For the past two Sunday nights the
life stories of «#n who achieved great
objects by certain dynamic traits that
enter into every masterful character
have been told at the Presbyterian
church.
The stories and their moral have at
tracted large congregations and much
ioterest. Last Sunday night in the
large congregation there were perhaps
between forty and fifty young men.
Next Sunday night the most fascinat
ing life story of the series will be told,
the story of a man little known in
sacked annals, yet, one who rose to a
commanding place in the council* of
the greatest empire in the world.
