A Complete Repment for '
Atlanta.
The member of the state mili-
tin is among the most self-sacri
ficing of all classes of citizens.
He does more for fhe state and
(jets less out of it than any
other public servant.
In public esteem and iri treat
ment by the state ho falls far
below his just deserts.
This is not as it should he. It
is not his fault. It results from
the ignorance of the public. The
public accepts his service as a
matter of course, but i| not
aware of the hard work and the
sacrifices that he must undergo
to make it possible.
Let them come occasions of
riot and disorder, endangering
lives and property, and it’s the
state militia to the rescue. Many
times it is the only thing thnt
stands between the state and
anarchy.
The militiaman often goes at
the risk of his own life, and the
service of a veteran is expected
of him—and this, too, on the
meagerest kind of opportunities..!
for drill and of the scantiest, i
sort of appropriations for his
equipment and comfort.
What he gets out of it is only
glory—merely pride in his com-
honte and abroad.
The Always Ahead city must
be foremost in military matters
also. With a distinctive dress
uniform sueh as those that made
striking many of the visiting
companies at the peace celebra
tion, the Fifth Georgia will be
tremendous advertisement _ for
Atlanta whenever it visits
other -states and cities. And at
home, with its full number of
companies and It* heightened ef
ficiency brought about thereby,
it will be a vastly enlarged in
surance of the lives and proper
ty of citizens and of the peace
and good order of the city and
county.
Colonel E. E. Pomeroy and
Captain O. Palmour are making
special efforts to organize the
new companies and make the
Fifth regiment a lasting and
pride-provoking' Atlanta posses
sion . The entire city should
give them its heartiest co-opera
tion. Business men should allow
their guardsmen employees {pore
time off in which to perfect
themselves in drill and marks
manship and to attend parades
and encampments, and young
men of military inclination should
not hesitate to enroll themselves
in the new companies.
Atlanta must have a military
organization that will equal the
best of the other great cities of
the country.
California’s Co-Citizens.
Army-Navy Orders
A nd Movements of Vessels
The newly enfranchised women
voters of California have been
very aptly referred to by some
one ns co-eitizens. As co-educa
tion mean like responsibility and
like opportunity for both boys
and girls, so co-citizenship means
like duties as well as like privi
leges for both men-and women.
Co-education hns worked well
in the schools and .colleges. Co-
citizenship in the state is yet on
trial.
The citizenship granted by a
constitutional amendment voted
only n short time ago the women
of California are now proceeding
to try on—not in the light or flip
pant manner, but seriously and
earnestly. The responsibility of
it seems to be impressing them
more than the privilege.
In the municipal contest in
Los Angeles between the social
ist candidate and his "good gov
ernment” opponent, tho women
hold the balance of power, and
.both sides are therefore making
an urgent appeal for their sup
port. Already , 2(1,000 women
have registered, and it is con
servatively calculated that by

Since the great pageant of the; ing themselves in purely local

October, a tide of interest in mill
tary affairs has swept over At
lanta, and a movement has been
started to organize five now com
panies, which, added to the seven
existing companies of the Fifth
Georgia, will give Atlanta a full
regiment.
The movement is going stead
ily and surely forward to success.
Already the organization of three
companies has been arranged for,
and the proposal to have the re
maining two companies, one Ger
man and one Irish, has met with
an enthusiastic response.
Atlanta is to have a regiment
that will be what tho Fifth
Maryland is to Baltimore and
tlie Seventh New York is to
Gotham.
For such a regiment a full
quota of companies is necessary.
Without them it is impossible to
evolve the requisite esprit de
corps. With them Atlanta will
have a military organization that
will represent its spirit of unity,
progress and excellence, both at
themselves the task of becom
ing intelligently familiar with
the more complicated problems
of national finance and adminis
tration.
The sub-eommittee of the na
tional monetary commission, whieh
is at work on a plan of reorgani
zation of tho financial system of
the nation, met recently* nt Snn
Francisco. Two of California’s
leading co-citizens, Mrs. Mary
Damagra, president of the Statp
Suffrage league, and Miss Helen
Moore, state organizer, were
present at the meeting, and for
what purpose! Simply for oivic
information. “We came to learn
about this financial question,”
declared Mrs. Damagra. "It is
one with which every voter
should become acquainted.”
Not a bad start at all for co
citizenship.

welter-weight, got up to introduce the guest; he
bowed, his hand upon his breast, and started in—we thought
he’d quit in less than fifteen minutes. Nit! He had us where
we couldn’t flee, and plunged us deep in misery. He touched
on all things in his talk; on Lexington and Plymouth Rock, on
setting hens and village choirs, and eke the green graves of
our sires, on tariff schedules and the way to find a market for
our hay. The hours wore on, the clock broke down, the lights
went out thru all the town; he talked until the daylight came,
and when he quit the man of fame was lying senseless on the
floor, knocked dizzy by the village bore. I do not doubt that
you, some day, hnve suffered in the same sad way. and you’ll
agree that sueh a skate deserves the fiercest sort of fate.

"How to Gain Weight.’’ Among other
things, we nnd In this article the fol
lowing advice: "Strive for at least
eight hours of sound sleep in a well
ventilated room or out of doors. Suffi
cient exercise should be taken to keep
the blood In good circulation, the liver,
■kin and' Intestinal canal active, as
well as for other more complicated and

that converts flesh Into useful muscles
is essential In building up a normal

TRAPS MARK RBG1JTERBD
"Your household expenses are so great you can not save, eh7" The
Business Doctor was talking to the young married mart. “I know what's
the matter with you! You haven't taken your wife into partnership with
you. You are one of these fellows who
hanjlle the family purse-strings all by
yourself! Let me tell you. young man.
that it 1s harder to spend a salary In
a proper manner than It is to earn
one!
“My experience has been thar a
woman Is a better saver than a man
and jf you will take an evening off and
get your wife to help you, you can save
25 per cent of your present household
expenses. It's tho same old story of
reducing the matter to a system, and 1
will tell you the one which I know
was used by ono woman, and she has
a *5,000 home as a monument to the
efficiency of the system.
"She had a stated sum each week to
run her rented house on. She figured
up what It had cost her to run the
house the year before she Installed the
system. She figured the rent, the coal,
the gas bills and the bills for grocer
ies, clothes and servant hire. Each
ono of these Item* she set down sepa
rate All save the groceries and little Incidentals like Ice and the news
papers, she put In the savings bank and paid by check. There was no stress.
In winter when the coal bills came In. as she had divided the price of a
year's coal by 52 and put that sum In the bank all thru the summer when
they were buying no coal, and, as she had the cash, was able to take ad
vantage of the reduction In price In the fall and have the winter's coal
put In atl at one time.
"Air tho Items which could be figured on positively she divided In this
way Into 52 equal parts and deposited weekly. The groceries she reduced
to the same system, setting aside so much each week for meat, so much for
vegetables, Ice, milk and all the various things she must buy, and these
sums she put Into separato envelopes, with the name marked on them. Fot
example, we will suppose she set aside IS a week for meat. She would
put thlg sum In an envelope marked meat and then, as she went three
times a week to market, she would take one-third of this sum, or $1.65,
to buy meat with for the next two days. She tried In every case to save
some of this money on her meat purchases, even If It was only a dime. If
any money waa left over, ahe would put It back Into the envelope, and the
same with each of the other appropriations. At the end of the week she
emptied all the envelopes of the money she had saved' and put that also In
the savings bank. ,
"Without further detail, this was the principle of the system, and at
the end of the year she had saved enough to make the first payment on a
■house, and from that time forth tho Interest, Insurance and notes were also
figured Into the system. Before tho year was over her husband grew
equally Interested, and now, In Juat a little over six years, the house is
paid for and another bought, which, with the assistance of the rent and
$10 per month additional. Is paying for' Itself, and they now have negotia
tions under way for another.
"Thl* family have deprived themselves of nothing they had before,
and have assured me that their saving schemes have given them more
actual pleasure than anything they have ever taken up, at|d as the books
unit plans have given them a mutual Interest, they have been brought more'
closely together than at any time since the honeymoon days.
"Take your wife Into your plans. Teach her the rudlmenta of book
keeping, nnd you will find that as Boon ns you show a disposition to sava
and to get ahead In the world you will have hearty co-operation and great
help, nmi In more than one case that has come under my personal obser
vation the wife has proven the better planner and saver of the two."
Mr. Tlicls, the vice president of tho Franklin society, of New York,
says that with one-inch advertisements In the dally papers of that city
he has Increased thh deposits of the Institution from $800,000 to $1,400,000
In three years, and If he had the entire funds of the savings bank which
bears this name, he would hot Increase his space.
THIS WEEK IN COTTON
By JOSEPH B. LIVELY
There has been no Improvement In the price of cotton during the week.
There have been some recessions, followed by feeble rallies, but the closing
figures shove a email decline from thv quotations at the close of the pre
vious week. Tho governors conference at New Orleans, where it was an-
nounced that an arrangement had been made with a British syndicate to
advance sufficient funds to carry 2.006,000 bales of cotton until the market
advances, failed as a stimulating factor.
The market was advanced a few points In the latter part of the week
on forecasts for freezing weather In the belt on Friday morning, but the
freese did not materialize and prices settled back, tho the close was slight,
iy above the week's low levels.
The situation Is the reverse of the two previous seasons. The question
then was: How high will cotton go before It reaches the top? Now It Is;
How low will cotton go before cotton touches the botton? The first ques
tion has been answered. The latter Is being argued. A sample from a New
York trade paper followi;
"Tho weakness in the cotton market is considered by manufacturers
tb be due to the abundant yield, a yield greatly In excess of the world’s need,
rather than to speculative efforts of professional bears. Under a normal
demand, the price might go to 10 cents, but there Is no prospect of a normal
demand this year, and It Is more probable that the price will go nearer to 8
than to 10 cents. If the revolt In China be long continued, American as well
as foreign mills will feel the effects In a diminished demand. In discussing
the situation, a manufacturer said: ‘It Is all right for spinners to tell about
paying 8 cents for cotton, and that It will probably go higher and that
yarn prices will go higher; but In the end they will learn that they can
not boost yarn prices by tales of wo-. Supply and demand are going. to
control, and that means a lower than the present level for both cotton and
yarn.’"
A few say the price will go to 7 cents before Investment buyers can be
Induced to enter the market. Farmers will not follow the decline to 7
cents, however. At current prices many have begun holding. This move
ment will grow from now on.
Estimates of tho crop are growing larger. They now range from 15,376,-
000 to 18,000,000 minimum.
While spinners are satisfied the Orop will meet consumptive require
ments. and are not buying freely for this season’s supply, they fear the low
prices will force the farmers to reduce the acreage next eeason. They ap
pear to be somewhat worried over this phase of the situation, and quite a
brisk trade Is going on In the next crop deliveries,

The newspapers are full of news of
tho National Woman's Christian Tem

In Milwaukee, Wla., from October 27 to
November 2. 1911. Time was when the
press did nbt trouble Itself to report the
proceedings of the small band of women
who started out to fight King Alcohol.
Nowadays It requires the largest audi
toriums In such cities as Denver, Colo.,
and Milwaukee to hold the large num
ber of delegates and vlsltora who go
every year to tho National W. C. T. U.
conventions. When Frances E. Willard
In a state convention In Ohio advocated
that the W. C. T. U. should fight. In
an organized way, to secure the ballot
for women, she met with great opposi

that "oUr temperance work would bo

Willard had the gift of "sttckablllty"
and she kept everlastingly at It. A
committee on franchise was recom
mended at the National W. C. T. U.
convention held In Washington. D. C.,
In 1881. The committee appointed waa
Miss Frances E. Willard, Mrs. Mary
A. Livermore and Mrs. J. E. Foster.
In 1882 Mrs. Mary O. C. Leavitt, the
first W. C. T. U. round-th-e-world
missionary, was added to that commit-
tee. At the convention In 1882 the
franchise committee gave place to tho

have served moat faithfully and effi

the franchise department. In every
state where women have been enfran

nobly to secure the ballot for women.

by the ballot for women, wo should
pledge ourselves to work for woman's
enfranchisement on equal terms with
men. The scareheads of a certain liquor
paper In Georgia that “members of the
W. C. T. U. become suffragettes'' falls
harmless to the ground, for everybody
knows that the majority of the mem

$ of the New South
Baltimore, Nov. 4.—Tha Manu
facturers Record reports that the
purchase of big tracts of land for
Colonization purposes and timber
operations and ths development of
water power enterprises continue to -_
be the most striking features of the ■ ■
material upbuilding of the South. A • •
company capitalized at $6,000,090 re- • ■
cently organized by P. H. Flteger- • >
aid, of Indianapolis, who, years ago
thru the founding of the town of
Fitzgerald, Oa„ began a big
ment In that section of tbe
Mississippi and follow thla with
colonization work. Chicago people
have purchased 30,000 acres of cut-
cut-over pine J
will utilize the pine stumps for the
manufacture of turpentine and later
colonize ths land.
H. M. tJyllesby A Co., of Chicago,
who, with aseoclates, are developing • .
about 100,000 hydro-electric horse
power In eouthweat Virginia, at an
ultimate estimated coat of about $25.-
000,000, now have engineers at work
making surveys for the development
of hydro-electric power at Cumber
land Falls Ky at a reported cost
of about $5,000,000.
Among other industrial enterprises
of Interest reported during the week

lie, which can only bo outlawed and put
out of buslnos, by votes of those who
hate It. Just at this time we may ei
pect anything that will be calculated ti
destroy the bobsled “influence" of the
W. C. T. U. In Georgia politics. Every,
body knows how ths "llquorltes" fight
woman suffrage, for when women vott
they must go out of business.
Mr*. Mary Harris Armor's temper
ance lecture last Sunday ovenlng In St
Johns church waa an eye-opener as to
the methods that are now being used by
the local optlonlsts to elect their candl-
dates, and bring back licensed liquor
saloons to Georgia, The W. C. T. V. of
Atlanta would like to have a Joint de
bate at tho Grand opera house between
Mrs. Armor nnd Judge Russell on the
benefits Atlanta has derived by having
the licensed liquor traffic up to the date
when atate-wlde prohibition came to
bless Georgia. Some of our old-time
W. C. T. U.'s could tell of things that
happened In those days when every
other building was a "doggery" and
two or three murders In a week ware
common, this the natural outcume of
tho "doggeries."
^n her address at the state conven
tion at Savannah Mrs. T. E. Patterson
(whose name Is also Mary) said: "We
are not In politics, but wo are for pro
hibition, and In the race for governor,
which is now on, we are for the man,
Who holds the white banner of prohibi
tion the highest. We are opposed to
Judge Dick Russell and will do all In
our power to defeat him.” Now, If
our two prominent W. c. T. U. Mary
had ths ballot and Judge Dick could be
prevailed on to lower his dignity auffl-
clentfy to enter a public debate with
two enfranchised women, old Geor*u
would have a liberal educntlon In re
gard to the merits of prohibition and
the other sort, too, that would last un
til the next time a governor must b«
elected.
