The H. R. District Habit Is Bad!
I T'S bad for people to contract the habit of upending their money In the HIGH RENT district. It la Juat like
WASTING money.
Over In the HIGH RENT dlatrtct they muat charge you more than we do over here where we have NO
high rent problem confronting ua.
One thing la certain In the HIGH RENT dlatrlct: THE LANDLORDS GET BIG RENTS. Now, If the
merchant pays a BIO rental to the landlord, then the merchant muat add an extra percentage to the coat of the
goods. ,
Over our way, 1 we sell the same gooda from the same factories for at least 10 per cent to 10 per cent cheaper
than they do In the HIGH RENT—nnd In some cases we save you even more.
If you don’t care to pay cash, you may open a charge account and pay ua from time to time.
Low Rent, Prices
IRON BED. $9,00
45-lb. Rolled Edge
Mattress 5,50
“Rex” Springs 1.75
$16,25
The picture shows an Illustration of
an elegant Bed, a line, restful, high
quality FELT Mattress weighing 45
pounds and having a rolled edge—and
there's a splendid "BEX” Spring, too—
all of them will cost you only $11.35 at
BAUKMGHT'S. The Bod may be had
In either VERNIS MARTIN or WHITE
ENAMEL finish.
If you don't feel like paying cash, you
ran give us $1.36 down—and a dollar a
week. Over In the HIGH RENT dis
trict they recently advertised this same
combination for 136—but BAUK-
NIGHT has no high rent to pay and,
therefore, neks only
$16.25
I pay freight within 100
miles of Atlanta on orders
of $25 or more.

MRS. M’LENDON URGED
SUFFRAGE QUESTION
Following the action of the Georgia
Funeral Directors association on Wed
nesday In tabling a request that the as
sociation consider the question of worn,
nn suffrage and go on record for or
against the movement, Mrs. Mary L.
McLendon, president of the Georgia
Woman's Suffrage association, naa
written a card to The Georgian enti
tled "The Woman Confess**,” nnd say
ing It was ahe who had requested that
the question be brought up. President
Patterson not hAvtng given out her
name. Her card follows;
The "Woman" Confers***
Fearing somebody may become ex
cited if The Georgian does not publish
the name of the mysterious "woman”
who anked the president of tho Georgia
Funeral Director* association for an op
portunity to ask that organisation to
consider the Indomement of the world
wide movement to enfranchise women,
I have decided that the correct thing
for me- to do Is to own up to "the
soft impeachment” and thu* relieve the
tension.
That letter (still unopened. 1 sup
pose | which Joe Brown wrote to Hoke
Hmlth ha* caused sufficient excitement
In the state of Georgia, and there are
many who will .die nnd be burled by
the Georgia funeral directors who will
never be satisfied until the contents
of that mysterious letter are made pub
He. The weather Is entirely too hot for
us to risk anything more along that
line. I am sure, If my good friend
Mr. H. M. Patterson had realised how
pleased 1 would have been If he had
given my name as the "woman” who
had sense enough to believe In the right
and expediency of granting the ballot
(which Is the right preservation of all
rights) to women on the same terms
granted to men. he w oulcl not have hes
itated a moment In telling the weighty
secret. I do not fight behind masked
batteries, and 1 hold It an honor to
labor and work for the cause of equal
suffrage.
The funeral directors have lost a fine
opportunity of joining with many na
tional associations and their state aux
iliaries In indorsing the movement
which will eventually enfranchise their
own mothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and
their wives, and give to them equal
moral, political, social and business op
portunlties with themselves.
The American Federation of Labor,
which meets In Atlanta In the fall, has
strongly Indorsed the movement, and
th»* Georgia Federation has also In
dorsed It several times In the yean
gone by. Instead, the Georgia Funeral
Directors association has placed Itself
on record with members of the hous*
of commons, who, In 1832. greeted the
petition of Mary Hmlth. a maiden lady,
who aaked to I* permitted a share In
the representation in'the house of com
mons. with shouts of derisive laughter.
That was 79 years ago, and that style
of treating the subject Is out of date.
Today the women of England. Scotland,
Ireland and Wale, are voting on all
quextlon and at all election, except for.
member* of parliament, and It does not
require a prophet nor the son of
prophet to predict that It Is only
question of a few years when they
will vole for members of parliament;
In the United 8tatea the women of five
states—namely, Wyoming. Colorado,
Utnh, Idaho and Washington—have full
suffrage, nnd In Kansas women have
municipal suffrage. An amendment will
be voted on very anon by the votera
to give them full suffrage. • However,
the Georgia Funeral Directors associa
tion made a decided step forward
In the march of progress when, on June
14, Mrs. Estelle Rogers was granted a
llcenae as an embslmer. If this license
enables her to have equal rights to
engage In all lines engaged In by the
Funeral Directors association, ahe will
likely build up a fine business, and
exn prove conclusively that women
are capable of doing anything that men
can do In the undertakers' business.
No doubt she will meet with much
opposition from jealous, angry men who
believe that women are out of place In
the 100 profession, now opened to them
by which they can make an honest liv
ing. Women embalmsrs and women un-1
dortakera will fill a long-felt want
when women and girls are to be pre
pared for burial, Mrs. Rogers and other
women In the same business should ha
employed by all who believe that mod
esty and propHety should be observed
even In death. Unintentionally the
Georgia Funeral Directors association
has aided the great cause of equal
rights for women; therefore the "wom
an" In the case forgives the men who
did not want to hear her talk.
(MRS.) MARY L. McLENDON.
President of the Georgia Woman's Suf
frage Association.
