For there I alwaya had my afternoon.
And when tho thlnlng moon at night

And down tho rippling waters.

Another Corn Show and
Some Census Figures.
The Com show held the first
week in December wan not only
big success otherwise, but it
was also a financial success, and
the Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce. under whose direction it
was held, ia preparing to hold n
bigger and better show next fall.
According to a census report just
issued, the com acreage in Geor
gia in 1909 was '2.7 less than it
was in 1899, but the number of
bushels raised was 15.7 per cent
mnro and the vhlue 116.1 higher.
Is there any connection be
tween the Corn show’s success
and the census figures?
Most decidedly; both are evi
dences of the same thing—tho
stato’s abandonment of the one-
crop idea and its entrance upon
intensive, scientific corn culture.
According to a statement of
Dr. Bradford Knapp made at the
recent show, the corn crop of
Georgia for 1911 exceeded that
of 1910 by 7,500,000 bushels,
thereby raising the average yield
per acre two bushels. This tre
mendous increase, with a valua
tion of'fuUy $7,000,000, was at
tributed by Dr. Kuapp largely to
he work of the boys com clubs.
These clubs represent the new
generation of farmers'. They
were the chief exhibitors at the
Ulanta show. Already in tho
three or four years of their eX'
istence have they written large
their achievements in the indis
putable records of the state and
national departments of agricul
ture.
Enlargement of Auditorium'
Armory Needed.
Five new companies are soon
to be added to the troops of the
(i orgia National Gnard that have
quarters at the Auditorinm-Ar-
'1 ids will require more space
for armory purposes, and that,
cirse. brings up the queatiou
of enlarging the entire build
ing.
It has been estimated that with
$13,000 to be appropriated, half
by the city and half by the coun
ty, the new companies can be
amply accommodated and the
seating capacity of the galleries
of ‘the Auditorium increased by.
at least 1,000.
The county commissioners, at
the solicitation of Colonel E. E.
Pomeroy and Lieutenant Colonel
Orville H. Hall, have tentatively
agreed to appropriate their share
of the money. It remains for the
city to be as generons.
The Auditorium-Armory is one
of the city’s most valuable posses
sions. The people are using and
enjoying, it in dozens of ways
never thought of when it was
first projected. Atlanta’s rapid
growth necessitates new postof
fices and new court houses, and
it is only a question of time, and
a very short time, when a lar
ger Auditorium-Armory will be
needed.
And so far as the armory part
is concerned, this need is press
ing now and it behooves the pub
lic spirit of Atlanta to see that
it is supplied without exasperat
ing delay.
Since the unveiling of the
peace monument, interest in mili
tary affairs in Atlanta is decid
edly on the rise. It is an interest
that should be fostered in every
way possible. When the state
troops are needed they are need
ed bad, and they should be cap
able of doing the most effective
sort of work. Bui this tficy enn
not do unless they have suitable
equipment for training and prac
tice.
By all means let the city and
county see to it that their regi
ment has commodious and attrac
tive quarters.
Not a Bogie.
“The most menacing trust is
the Wall-st. money trust, which
is ever tightening up on the busi
ness of America.”
These words were spoken be
fore the senate committee on in
terstate commerce by Louis D.
Brandcis, the Boston lawyer-jAb-
licist.
When, in effect, the same thing
was said several months ago by
Woodrow Wilson, there went up
mighty howl. "Buncombe,
campaign claptrap. There ain’t
no finch thing; Wilson has merely
latched onto an old populist
bogie,” was the burden of the
howl.
Brnndeis may be called the un
official tribune of the people. He
runs for no office and in many
cases his services as a lawyer in
the interest of the peoplo have
been without fee or any kind of
financial reward. In his hand-to-
hand fights in courts nnd before
investigating committees with
what is known ns tho predatory
interests, ho has come to know
them, their organization, their
scope and* tho purport of their
machinations as perhaps no other
man in the whole country knows
them.
nis is the exact sort of knowl
edge a lawyer is willing to go
into court with. It has been
shown too often in the past to
tho confusion of his opponents to
be donbted.
Woodrow Wilson’s grasp of
present-day conditions is no less
accurate, no less sincere. With
out it he could not have won his
astounding successes in New Jer
sey.
The trust interests like to be
thought of ns bogies. While that
belief prevails, they are ahle to
accomplish the greatest good for
themselves and the greatest harm
to the people.

The Business Doctor
Roe Fufkenron
TBODB MARK RBWtfTMHtP
“You are too aloof with your employees." said the Business Doctor.
“You make your acquaintance und all your relations with them purely busi
ness relations. They, of cour*e,.are taking their cue from you and you aro
getting from them business service
alone. In other words, they aro doing
exactly what you pay them for, and
feel that
nothing
tho account Is squared am
more la expected of them.
"They have no particular love for
you or for the house, and the result Is
that there Is a lack of loyalty and en
thusiasm ln the entire establishment
YotJr stand back and say to them. 'Go
on.’ when you should be giving the
order of a real leader of men. which Is.
'Come one.’ You must get Into the %ame
with them, make them feel that they
are a port and parcel of this Institu
tion and that your success and their
success Is one and the same thing, and
that a part of the great whole depends
on them as much as on you.
“Mo man can get great success who
does not enthuse his employees with &
love for himself and for the house. Gin
ger and hustle are things which can
not bo bought for money. They corr.o
from Interest, and no man takes It great personal Interest In a business the
proprietor of which takes no personal Interest In him.
"In the earlier days, when war was a business, the leader's authority
came from more than an ability to direct. HU men know that where the
battle was hottest, there he could bo found. His strong arm nnd his keen
wit were In the thickest of the light. For these qualities they laid down their
lives for him laughingly. No such sacrifice Is expected of men today; yet
the same spirit which moved men then moves them now, and the proprietor
of the store who gets on the firing line with his men becomes their
comrade In the great fight of business, and Is the proprietor for whom
they will put forth their best effort, their lost ounce of strength and their
best and keenest thoughts. s
"if you want to have men work well for you,, you must recognise
them aa Individuals, not merely as store fixtures. The best regulated stores
and offices of the country today arc run by men who keep ln close, Inti
mate, personal touch with the peoplo they employe. Ho keeps on file records
of their birthdays, wedding anniversaries, the birthdays of their children.
Once a year he gives them a good banquet, where business Is never men
tioned and where quip and Jest play back und forth across tho table, and
where relations are established that the dull routine of business mokes al
most Impossible. He establishes systems of rewards, depending on results
accomplished or length of service. I know of one clothing merchant who
gives an annual banquet to his employees and lays a $10 gold pleco at every
plate for every yeaf of service of the man who cats there.
"All these may seem little things, beneath the dignity or the proprie
tor of the store, yet they are the little things which beget tho appreciation
and lbve of the man. This ln turns pays huge dividends In loyalty and faith
fulness from .the employee.
"Get closer to your people and you will find them surprisingly clever;
you will find, to your surprise, that they have good Ideas which put Into
force will better yeur service, but they will not push past office boys Into
private offices to pass these Ideas along to a cold-hearted empolyer.
"Employees are like a mirror: If the 'boss' smiles at them, they smile
back; If he looks at them with the same cold, calculating manner that
he inspects the workings of a new elevator or cash carrier, they will return
him cold, calculating Interest ln turn. ,
"Briefly, employees atw human, subject to human frailties and human
llkea and dislikes, and the dislike of an employee Is too expensive for any
man to have—It costs too much money.”

Huntsville Times Thinks the
Princetonian Would Make
President for All People.
W. C. T. U. Notes
The following la from The Huntsville
(Ala.) Times;
A prominent Republican struck tha
keynote today when ha said the Re
publican party needs a rebuke. He did
not credit all of the honesty to the Re
publican party nor to the Democratic
party, but expressed our sentiments
wlten he said It Is high time for the
people to have a .say In national politics.
This expression of sentiment coming
from, the Republican side Is In direct
harmony with the wonderful Influence
Woodrow Wilson Is having on the peo
ple everywhere.
In Mr. Wilson the Democrats havt a
man llrst, and second they have a piece
of presidential timber that will make
a president for all of the i
merely for his party. Wli
man, a strong man. a man of ability
and one In wbom all of the people can
plaqe their trust. With such a man as
Woodrow Wilson at Washington, the
people of these United BUtes can hope
tor a general wave of prosperity, con-
tentmept and a united people for the
development of the whole country.
Let the Democrats nominate Wilson
for president and the people will elect
him.

The Union Signal of December 7 has
a flne picture of the hero of the Merri-
mac and congressman from our sister
state, Alabama. On December 4. 1911.
Congressman Hobson Introduced the
following Joint resolution, which was
referred to the committee on alcoholic
liquor traffic: "Joint resolution pro
posing an amendment to the constltu
tlon prohibiting tho sale, manufacture
for sale and Importation for sale of
beverhges containing alcohol.
"Whereas, exact scientific research
has demonstrated that alcohol 1ft a.nar-
cotlc poison, destructive and degenera
tive to human organism, and that Its
distribution as a beverage lays a stag
gering economic burden upon the shoul
ders of tho people, lowers to an ap
palling degree their average standard of
character, thereby undermining tho
public morals and the .foundations of
free institutions, Inflicts disease and
untimely death upoh hundreds of thou
sands of citizens, and blights with de
generacy their children unborn, threat
ening the future Integrity and the very
life of the nation, therefore be It.
"Resolved by the senate and bouse
of representatives of the United States
of America ln congress assembled (two*
thirds of each house concurring.;. That
tho following bo proposed as an amend
ment to tho constitution, which shall
be valid to all Intents and purposes os
part of the constitution when ratified
by tho legislatures of three-fourths of
the states:
“1. The sale, manufacture for sale and
Importation for sale of beverages con
taining alcohol, are forever prohibited
ln the United States and ln all terri
tory under their Jurisdiction.
"2. The congress shall have power
to enforce, by appropriate legislation,
the provisions of tills article.”
Who would ever Imagine & soldier-
sailor trying to drive out the thing we
have always belloved they "doted 'on"
more than any one thing ln the world?
The scientific temperance Instruction
lessons he learned ln the L. T. L. Is
largely responsible. When the reform
ln the drinking habits of the people
was first begun and the ministers ad
vocated it, a leading newspaper threw
oold water on it by saying: "Nono but
on Insane person could advocate such a
cause.” That was In the old days when
It was considered no disgrace for a
man to “get as drunk as a lord" and
roll under the table Co sleep himself
Bober, and when men In Georgia could
beat their wives because the law gave
them the right to do eo, nnfl the wife
had no redress. Today all that Is
changed. We have an army of total
abstainers and the women are teaching
the young that wine (fermented) Is not
good for the stomach’s sake, but that
the unfermented wine Is good for one's
health. The United States supreme
court has decided that "there Is no In
herent right ln a citizen to sell Intoxi
cating drink, and that the buslnesa ts
attended with danger to the communi
ty." Our great doctors declare that
the value of alcohol aa a medicine ia
practically nothing, and that It would
have been better for tbe world If It had
never been discovered. The great Na
tional Woman's Christian Temperance
union haa decided that .every member
mutt work for national prohibition,
every member's duty Is to try to find
the most direct' road to reach that
end. Tha woman suffragist believes
that the road to national prohibition
leads by way of woman suffrage. Rich,

On Wednesday. Thursday and Friday prices advanced, the high levels

hale, and May, to 9.08, or 61.90 per bale, above Tuesday's low levels' This
was caused mainly by shorts covering, whether from a belief that the cor
ner has been turned Jn prices or for tho purpose of making a better sen
big basis is nut known.
A trade paper says:
“Southern mill men are of the opinion thdt cotton will sell at Ua lowest
between now and January lo. One spinner has sent a circular to the trade
predicting higher cotton prices before tho season Is over on account of tha
high cost of production, which he estimates at about 10c for the present
cropland which he cstjmatos qontalns at least 25 per cent of low grades
A rloso student of the cotton market gave It as his opinion that If cotton
futures htt the 8c level they will go lower, as bankers will then become
timid and force many holders to throw their cotton on the market without
much regard to price." *
The New York Dally Trade Record quotes from Tolar, Hart & Co
follows;
“The price Is low enough. In fact too low, and tho w* are cotton manu-
facturers and supposed to favor low prices, we declare outselves Just as
strongly opposed to the present low prices, which tend to pauperize and de-
atroy thoie on whom we depend for our supply of raw material, aa ws
were, to tho extremely high price, which shut down manufacturing plants
threw our help out of employment and paralyzed our great Industry through
out tho land. The farmers now acknowledge that 15c to 16c cotton has
noted as a boomerang, and they would be better off If such prices had never
been. Aa to the future, the large quantity of low grade may further depress
prices, but we think In view of the facts that cotton Is selling below cost
of production, that acreage will undoubtedly be cut considerably, the ex-
tent of cut depending somewhat on price next 90 days, that large spot
houses will not be afraid to carry large reserves or banking stockq at these
prices, that any one buying cotton around present prices, and not buying
more than'be can protect, and who will stand by It, will make some money"
