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 the time the registration .closes pnny and regiment and in their ! a week from now there will bfr effectiveness and pride in himself 40 000. ns n part of them. j Nor ore the eo-eitizens interest- Since the great pageant of the; ing themselves in purely local peace celebration held here in matters alone. They have set 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. "Lorimer probe learns nothin* worth while.” But the nation hu Ion* a*o learned by heart the tact that Lorimer Is not a nt person to occupy a seat In the United States senate.

Now they are face to face with extermination; thoy are begging for license. In a certain town In Ohio petitions were circulated asking for an election to carry the town wet. The young ladles of the town after getting the names of the young men who had signed the petition persuaded them to withdraw their names In such an extent that no election can bo held.

UNCLE WALT * VwLOSOPHER I went down town one night this week, to hear a great and good man speak—a famous man of high estate, whose view* on current themes have weight. The hall was packed with dames and gents who gladly blew their THE WINDY fifty cents to gee and hear a man of fame who figures in the world’s big game. The clock at WONDER last struck half-past eight; then Squigg, t legal 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. WALT MASON, Copyright, 1111. by George Matthew Adams.

It Is encouraging to obaerve the Increasing amount of space which the best maga zines are glvlhg to hygiene and pre ventive medicines each month: In Everybody's Magazlqe Is a stimu lating article by Dr. Woods Hutchin son on "Our Human Misfits.” The au thor discusses tho causation of physi cal and mental unfitness as partly due to defect In our social system and part ly to defects In heredity. Also he discugses remedies. In the Woman's Home Companion on the doctor's page Is a study entitled "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 teas' understood processes. Exercise that converts flesh Into useful muscles is essential In building up a normal weight that can be used by the system In emergencies. In the case of abnor mal nervous tension, effort must be made to culllyato more healthful hab its of thought and greater control over both mind and body. The habit of wor. rytng Is proverbially emaciating, but It Is a habit thnt can be cured." In Pearson’s Magaslne Is a readable discussion of "Public Health Versus Private Osin," by Esrl Mayo. In Columblan-Hampton's Magaslne Is a comprehensive review of the good work and trials of Dr. H. W. WtTejr. Harper's Magazine for October con tains an Interesting paper on "The Ed- sj&l The Business Doctor to.* Jfr hu Roe Fulkerson 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, NEW VORk.

By MARY L. M’LENDON. The newspapers are full of news of tho National Woman's Christian Tem perance .union’s annual convention held 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 tion. Predictions were freely made that "oUr temperance work would bo greatly Injured. If not destroyed en tirely, by mixing It with the suffrage question." But It did not. Frances E. 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 "franchise department" and Mrs. Mary O. C. Leavitt became the first superin tendent. Mrs. Zerelda'O. Wallace, Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, Mrs. Theresa A. Jenkins, Dr. Louise C. Purjngton, Miss Marie C. Brehtn, Mrs. Ella S. Stewart, 8 r. Maude Mcllvaln Sanders, Rev. ecca Varney and Mrs. S. L. C. Clark have served moat faithfully and effi ciently as national superintendents of the franchise department. In every state where women have been enfran chised, ths W. C. T. U. has worked nobly to secure the ballot for women. Every year the National W. C. T. U. president recommends In her annual address that because It Is Just, and be lieving that the best Interests of hu manity will be conserved and advanced 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 bers of the W. C. T. U. would like to have the ballot to fight the liquor traf- X Growth and Progress $ 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.

Among other industrial enterprises of Interest reported during the week are the following: Railroad Metallic Tie Company. Princeton, Ky.. organised with au thorized capital atock of $1,000,000 to manufacture metallic railroad tlea. Bon Jelllco Coal Company. Knox- • • vHI*. Tenn., was organized with • >$100,000 capital, stock and will de- • • velop 1.260 acres of coal land near • ► Williamsburg, Ky., installing mining equipment for capacity of from 400 to 600 tons per day.

Marine Rail way Company, awarded contract to • • construct marine railway at a coat of from $59,0*0 to $75,000. 4 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.
