Rebel Leader, Mexican Rurales

Hide and Seek.
Mexico City, Nov. 26.—General Fran

can rurales and Texas rangers ore
playing a game of hide and seek some
where along the Rio Grande today.
Somewhere In the chaparral country
pt the Texas frontier, among the
northern foothills of the Sierra Madre
mountains or along the banks of slug
gish Rio Grande, this three-cornered
contest Is In full swing with a man’s
life or at least a long term of Impris
onment as tho price.
The hardy, range-bred rurales, who
know every mile of the territory In
Chihuahua and Coahulla, and the
sturdy Texas rangers on the other side
are pitted agatnat Madero, who is sup
posed to be badly wounded and ac
companied by a mere handful of faith
ful supporters. But Madero Is be
lieved to be a desperate man and If
backed Into a corner will fight to the
death. On the other hand, realizing
the absurdity of further action against
tho Dlai regime, his only thought may
bo of safety.

According to government ofllclals,
the only action today In the Ill-starred

Rio Janeiro, Nov. 26.—After a night
of terror throughout the city, the fears
of the Rio Janeiro residents were
calmed early this morning when a
wireless dispatch was received from the
battleship Minas Genes saying that
that vesscL the Sao Paulo, the Mar

tho Bahia would return to the harbor
today and accept the terms granted
by the Brazilian congress.
There wop little sleep In Rio Janeiro
last night and early today nnd the
moat exciting reports were circulated.
The wireless stations along the coast
were Instructed to keep constantly
sending this message thru the hours of
the early day:
“Amnesty lias been gnnted.”
Despite this no response was received
until this morning, when the wireless
operator on the Minas Geraes flashed
the message from Jean Candlde.
In the eyes of tho International law
the mutineers were little better than
pirates and the people, residents of the

BOLL WEEVIL MEET
WAS A FARCE AND
That’s What State Agricultural
Officers Say of the
Congress.
That the boll weevil conference held
In the Auditorium-Armory Tuesday
and Wednesday was a fares and no
good results will corns of It, was the
substance of statements nude by
Thomas G. Hudson, commissioner of
agriculture, and E. Lee Worsham, state
entomologist, In discussing the affair
Saturday morning. They said the
state' agencies—that Is, the heads of
the department of agriculture, ento
mology, agricultural college as well as
the Fhrmers union—were snubbed and
In a certain way insulted by the au
thority assumed by those who had the
proceedings In charge.
What the conference accomplished
might be eummed up In the word
“nothing,” according to the views of
these state ofllclals. The conference
met to devise ways of getting rid of
the pest which ravaged on the cotton
crops of states west of Georgia In for
mer years. The ways were talked of,
but nothing new was brought out,
nothing definite was done, no perma
nent organisation was perfected, say
the critics. A committee on organi
zation was appointed, but never re
ported.
They Feel Ignored.
At the state capital these ofllclals
were talking of the recent congress.
They were not at out* with the Atlan
ta Chamber of Commerce, for they
praised the work of that body and de
clared that co-operation of the agri
cultural bodies and the farmers with
the Chamber of Commerce was essen
tial to carry on any light for the beat
Interests, but they did not appreciate
the deal given them In the recent con
ference, and no one else would, for they

THE FINEST CHARITY N
IN ATLANTA.
Here is what one Atlantan
thinks of the work the Girls
Night School is doing:
Editor The Georgian:
Dear 8lr—It glvea me great pleasure
to conform to your request to state
shortly for Ths Georgian my impres
sion o ftho Atlanta Olrls Night school.
Previous to my visit to It a week ago 1
had heard that certain kindly ladlea
some of whom aro themselves each
day tired with their own labors, were
•pending many of their evenings In
supplying opportunities to such work
ing girls as had not before enjoyed
them to pick up at least the basts of a
useful education.
But I was agreeably surprised by
what I saw. Tho number of girls, their
Intelligence and Interest, and tho ar
rangements made on their behalf were
beyond my expectation. The subject
of my little address was somowhat out
side the usual routine of primary edu
cation, but I was not embarrassed by
any lack of attention; on the, contrary
the girls appeared to have potentiali
ties equal to those of their more for
tunate sisters, and to be eager to pick
up whatever crumbs of Information
might fall In their way.
Yet, I was moat of all struck by tli*
pathos of the thing. Among the “girls’’
are many grown women, and It was
touching to see ths pride of scholars
and teachers In performances which'
among the more generously placed
would have befitted a child of 6 or 7.
But the difference lies In the rapidity
with which these girls acquire their
knowledge (one young woman brought
up In a non-English, speaking country
read aloud to me fluently after five
weeks' tuition), and the sense of wealth

Opening of Great White Way
Promises To Be Bril
liant Event.
The patrons of the Peachtree-White
hall lines of tho Georgia Railway and
Electric Company did not have a
chance to give thanks Thursday for
those Urge double-truck-pay-as-you-
enter street cere promised by the com
pany to bo In operation tho first of
last week, If not tho week before. Those
cars are not running yeL But the com
pany has now revised Its promise so
that tho cars may bo expected In time
to be considered Christmas gifts.
By the first of week after next, not
next week, mind you, but week after
next, tho company promises to have
four of those now cars running on the
Brook wood- West End division of the
Peachtree-Whltehall lines. Three more
to complete tbe schedule on that di
vision. It requiring seven, are prom
ised for the week after. Then those
for the Piedmont park division of these
lines are promised by Christmas, so
that the people may rejoice all along
those lines at the time Joy will reign
supreme. Here's hoping so.
The reason given for not putting
those cars out is that the paint hasn't
dried and .ns company doesn’t want
Its patrons to get unnecessarily stuck
up, just because they have new street
cars.
Now these people have something to
look forward to for Christmas.
The merchants of Whitehall, Peach
tree and Mttchell-sts. are going to keep
open house the night tho current Is
turned on making those thoroughfares

Thoy are going to keep open house
to the people of Atlanta, nnd with
their stores appropriately decorated
and with tempting bargain offerings for
the evening, they are going to meet
the shoppers with a social and busi
ness welcome.
One hundred and forty-four mer
chants have already Joined In The
Georgian’s plan nnd have signed tho
agreement for tho “Opon House” even
ing. *
And each nnd every ono of them has
congratulated The Georgian on the en
terprising movement.
Here Is tho paper circulated by The
Georgian, with the signatures:
"Tho night when the heart of Atlanta
becomes the Great White Way offers
the merchants of the city a splendid
opportunity to keep open house to the
people of Atlanta, meeting them on a
social as well as business taels.
'■The Installation of the splendid light
ing system will turn night Into day,

public will welcome the opportunity to
come downtown at night and visit the

chants to secure the unity which Is

The question of more heat this winter for the

The popular demand for it is general and the
city officials are disposed to favor it. The finance

ADVERTISING TALKS.
\ Written by
JULES B. SCHLOSS.
To my mind tho best judges of
good advertising aro women. The
retail advertisement writer, when
in doubt about a pieco of copy
that ho lias written, will do a wise
thing to submit it to a woman for
her judgment. In most instances,
she can tell beforehand whether
the advertisement will prove suc
cessful or not.
If a retail ad doesn’t appeal
to a woman, then its chances for
bringing business are very slim,
because the ladies nre the GREAT
ER PURCHASING POWER in
this country. The male members
ot the family in most cases
furnish the monoy for paying ths
bills—but the ladies of the house
hold either M A K E or IN
FLUENCE most of the purchase*
ilany men, even in buying
