Can be Friendly With Another's Wife
The Georgia court of appeals has
ru'ed that a man may maintain
friendly relations with the wife of
another man, and enjoy her com
pany and society on various occa
sions, without becoming liable to the
husband for damages unless there is
a proven effort to interfere with the
marital relations of the husband and
wife.
"Although such acts may be dis
tasteful to the husband and contrary
to the edicts of society respecting
conduct where a married woman is
concerned, they are insufficient to
establish any violation of the purely
legal rights of the husband,” the
opinion says.
The decision' upheld the action of
Judge Bell in the Decatur superior
c.»urt, in iron-suiting an action for
damages filed by M. L. Martin
against L. Ball, alleging alienation
of affections. Judge Re!!, who is;
now a member of the court of ap
peals, was disqualified by reason of 1
the fact that he was the trial judge.
“Where the only evidence is that
the man and woman were seen with'
each other on various occasions when
the husband was not present—once
at a dance and several times in av
automobile in the company of an
other woman talking together near
the defendant’s place of business; in
a pub’ac park, where they weFe met
and drove off together, and the fact
that the wife went to an automobile
establishment and took out the car
of the defendant for her own use, a
claim for damages is not set up,” the
court of appeals rules, e
CROP CONDITIONS IN GEORGIA
FOR WEEK ENDING SEPT. 23
Atlanta, Ga., September 23.—Mod
el ate temperatures prevailed dur : n?
tha past week, mostly s ightly above
normal. There was coi siderab'c
cloudiness and very irragulariy dis
tributed rainfall, which was heav;
and in excess of requirements ir
soveia! counties. On the who'e.
however, the weather throughout
Georgia was mostly favorab’e for
maturing of crop and for harvest
ing. whicch continued to make excel
lent progress.
Cotton is practically all open ex
cept in the northern counties, where
it is opening rapidly. Picking made
good progress and the crop is all out
in many districts as far north as
Macon. The condition is about the
poorest in the history of the state.
Weevils and caterpillars continue ac
tive, and in some northern counties
the foliage has been entirely stripped
from the cotton stalks.
Lowland corn is good. Fodder pull
ing is about completed. Much hay
was saved during the week in most
sections under vedy favorable cir
cumstances. Digging peanuts and
sweet potatoes continues. Grapes
are good. The pecan crop is so
heavy in sime places the limbs of
tr?. s are breaking under the load of
nuts. Preparations for seeding fall
>ats have begun.
The next report will be the last of
tha season.

Untie Sam Will Determine Whether
Postoffices Are Conducted at Gain
or Loss—Destinations Studied.
Atlanta, Ga., Septembee 27.—Ev
ery little 1 and 2 cent stamp has a
meaning all its own at the Atlanta
postcffice now. Beginning last Fri
day at midnight and until midnight
October 31 every stamp on each
piece of mail handled through the
local postoffice will be counted.
The big count that is being con
ducted in 550 cities and towns in the
United States that began last Fri
day night will enable Uncle Sam to
determine whether he is operating
the postal business at a profit or
lons and whether too much revenue
is being charged on some classes of
mail or too small a revenue on other
classes.
Local postoffice officials stated
today that the office was perfectly
organized for the gigantic under
taking that government officials say
is the biggest survey that the gov
ernment has ever tack’ed.
Besides the counting of the rev
enue each clerk and carrier will be
required to keep an exact record of
the time consumed iw doing the vari
ous kinds of work at the local office,
including the working of incoming
and outgoing mail, canceling the
stamps, sacking of parcel post, put
ting up box mail, writing money or
ders and the many other duties.
Besides the counting of the mail, a
record will be kept of the destina
tion of each piece of mail, so that
the department can determine the
cost of handling a piece of mail from
one point to another.
The Atlanta postmaster has asked
the public to cooperate with the em
ployes of the office during the count
by bringing the stamps to the of
fice faced, that is with the stamps
a'.l one way in the upper right hand
coiner, and he requested that matter
b» mailed as early in the day as pos
sible, The postmaster does not ex
pert the mails to be delayed by the
count, as substitute c'erks are kept
on duty during the rush hours.
TOURISTS ALLOWED TO BUY

Winnipeg, Manitoba. —Tourists as
well as redidents of Manitoba will be

HEED ADVICE MRS. BELMONT
Colorado Springs, Colo.—Chiefly
because “marriage is a sort of slav
ery,” Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont, of
New York City, president of the na
tional woman’s party, declared here
yesterday that she would not recom
mend marriage for any girl.
“I would not say, in so many words
that marriage is a failure,” she said,
“but it seems to me that statistics
speak for hemselves.”
Most of the opposition to the equal
rights movement comes from the
women “of the clinging vine type,”
Mrs. Belmont said. “Intelligent men
are with us. Among the men our
only opponents are the ‘small rc.wn
man’ and the church organizations,”
she declared.
“Too many girls th-se days have
supported themselves before mar
riage and when they marry they feel
that some else is supporting them
and they become discontented,” she
said.
London.—For heroism in rescuing
a dog and cat from the bottom of a
disused pit, Police Constable Pegg
has been presented with the Animal
Life-Saving Medal of the Royal So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. The officer risked his
life to rescue the animals.

Pupils Learning To Sava Pennies.
The increase in school saving ac
counts has been noticeable during
tin past few years, according to At
lanta bankers, not only among At
lant; school children, but among
school children of the entire United
States, as statistics show.
“This would indicate either that
mainy more pupils have become wage
earners, or, which is the more poo
able explanation, that more of these
workers are saving their money,”
said John K. Ottley, president of the
Fourth National Bank of Atlanta,
whose bank maintains a large sav
ings accounts. The increase is of
importance eenough to be scheduled
for discussion by the American
Bankers Association at its meeting
now being held at Atlantic City to
which Mr. Ottley and other southern
bankers have gone.
“In practice it is found that the
pupil who saves regularly develops
self-reliance and to a great extent
changes his outlook on life, being
willing to forego many pleasures.
He learns to make sacrifices. At a
time when the need of economy i 3
everywheere urged there can be no
better way of teaching thrift than by
beginning with some system such as
the school savings plan.” •
