Wives Expected to Plunge in
Safety Razors When Shop
Is Opened.
Women barbers for Atlanta. That
dream of the tonsorjal parlor victim Is
about to be realized.
Kelly Leslie, who have a shop
downtown, are going to establish the
women barbers in Atlanta in a new
shop with ten chairs anti a good-look
ing woman barber behind each.
Negotiations with barbets of the fait
sex in Chicago and Seattle are now
underway and the ten beauties are soon
expected to bo headed for Atlanta. As
soon as the promoters of thi- shop are
assured that they will have the women
barbers on a certain date they will be
gin to fit up their non shop, which thf>v
declare will outclass anything in the
South.
“Os course," said Mr. Leslie, "this
Innovation is expected to boost the
price of safety razors, because ( very
married nun will get a razor as a pres
ent from his wife as regularly as his
, birthday or Christmas comes around,
but they won't use 'em -rfot when
there are women barbers in Atlanta. - '

; Here's a Defender
I Os Marrying Lillian. *
“I am not one of those pestiferous
and meddlesome persons who carp at
things not any of their business.' said
the guest with the red necktie and pur
ple hose, to a group of Interested listen
ers in the Kimball house lobby this
morning.
“1 observe that airy, fairy Lillian
Russell has taken unto herself anothe
husband her fifth, or sixth, or some
thing. 1 forget which. I also observe
that various people and certain news
papers are making a great to do and
having much to sav about that.
“Why. I wonder?
"If Miss Russell —or Mrs. Whatever
she-was wished to do that, and was
able to afford it. considering the high
cost of living, and a.ll that sort of
thing. 1 think she should have been
permitted to go her way in matrimonial
peace, so long as peace was on the job
"Marriage is merely a matter of
taste, anyway. Some people are glut
tons for it; others find an infinitesmal
fraction more than a lifetime suffi
ciency.
"Miss Russell evidently believes in a
variety of matrimony. Bo far, how
ever, she has appeared to like It best in
homeopathic doses. She has been
married, 1 understand, less, than fifteen
months all told, and no one attack has
lasted more than six months. It also
has been a long time between various
engagement rings.
"it may be that she is determined'to
settle down now for a long, steady,
happy inn I hope so, for my part, at
least. She is a mighty pretty woman,
despite her I don’t know how many
years. I wish het much joy!"
MEN’S DRESS SHOWS
STEADY PROGRESS
TOWARD NEGLIGEE
LONDON. June 18. —The fine weath
er has brought with it a new’ develop
ment in the now constant process of
relaxation in men's dress.
The new “polo collar” is the final step
taken In the reaction against the stiff
ness of the mid-Victorian ago. It is
made of soft linen or silk, with two long
points flapping out from the safety pin
that holds them together. Its effect
Is to lend to the most roughly hewn
face an expression of quite childlike
ingenuousness.
Soft shirts, too, have ousted the old
ephod of starched linen. The top hat
has become almost a sacramenthl gar
ment, reserved for weddings, funerals
and Sunday morning service. The frock
coat is now mainly remembered as a.
Victorian mode.

Editor Fires Return Broadside
at Commissioner, But Does
Not Mention Cowhiding.
Apparent Thomas E. Walton, the
"r-d-headed : erson" from Thomson,
isn't even a ittle bit worried because
of Fish and Game Commissioner Jesse
Mercer's 'lm t to come down Thom
sonwav and • owhfde" Watson If Wat
son fails to right an alleged financial
wrong inflict< d upon his late law part
ner, James W. Green, amj sfnee upon
his widow,
Mr. Mercer sajs the Thomson man
instigated, on behalf of the heirs, a
"fake" lawsuit against Mercer, as exec
utor of the estate of the late P. E. Boyd,
and that, after grabbing a big fee, ho
I appropriated most of it to his own use,
■ despite the fact, that his then dying
partner. Green, was entitled to half of
it.
It is the righting of this wrong that
Mercer says Watson must come to, or
face a "cowhiding.”
Mercer says but for Watson's inter
ference in the settlement of the Boyd
estate the heirs would have received
much more than the SIB,OOO they did
receive
Fee Satisfactory to Clients.
Commenting upon this matter, Mr.
Watson says:
James W. Green lived' practically
within my own family circle, and I
never knew a soberer or more in
dustrious lawyer.
As to the fee we took, it was
strictly in accordance with the con
tract, and was perfectly satisfac
tory to our clients. Had we not
intervened in their behalf, Jesse
Mercer and his brother would have
stripped them of everything.
Reckless in his mendacity, Mer
cer accuses me of having robbed
James W. Green and practically in
timates that this wrong, Inflicted '
upon the unfortunate man by me,
caused his death.
The truth is, he himself fixed my
share of the fee, sending me the
check,'and also returning to me
the amount whieh I had voluntari
ly paid to keep up his insurance
policy, when he was confined to
his bed with the dropsy that killed
him, and was unable to keep up
the insurance himself. This fact
can be verified by any one who will
inquire of the president and cashier
of the McDuffie bank, or who will
write to the former cashier, Mr.
William S. Lazenby, of Harlem,
Ga.
Doesn't Refer to Threat.
The "red-headed person” doesn’t seem
to consider the threatened Mercer
"cow hiding" as really wofthy of no
tice. Anyway, he doesn’t refer to it,
and hasn't in any communication di
rected to The Georgian.
Maybe that is because he has not
been profoundly impressed with the
earnestness of Mercer’s threat. Or
maybe it is because Mercer never has
said when the "cowhiding" is to be
pulled off.
Whatever his idea is, Watson is
showing no undue excitement,
TYPO HEAD TO SEEK
LEGISLATIVE PROBE
OF STATE PRINTING
Luther Still, president of the Atlanta
Typographical union, says that he will
take his fight for a thorough investiga
tion of the states printing to the leg
islature and ask for a special legis
lative probe.
Mr. Still, who submitted a statement
to the state printing commission charg
ing that the acts of 1912 and house and
senate journals of 1912 had been pad
ded by the Byrd Printing Company and
not printed according to contract, is
not at all satisfied with the report filed
with the governor by Frank Cohen,
hired by the printing commission to
maae an investigation. Cohen reported
he found no padding in the work.
"There was padding done on the
state's printing last year." said Mr.
Still. "I can prove this. I am going
to ask the legislature to make a com
plete investigation."

DIAMONDS
Economically Handled
During the many years of our successful handling of dia
monds, we have sought to acquaint ourselves with e\erj eai
connected therewith, from the time they are mined until they
go into possession of the individual. The information gained
from taking the matter up so thoroughly has been a source o
our lopping many of the expenses connected therewith, until
today we do not believe there is a retailer that can offer you
greater value for the money.' .
We are exercising the same careful attention in the selec
tion of our stock as we have in the past, and as is the ease w hen
any conlmodity is bought in exceptionally large quantities, we
are able to get them much below what they would cost us were
we to buy in small lots.
We keep in touch with the mines, and whenever there is a
raise to be made in their price we are advised of such intention,
and as was the case with us last Fall, when they advanced from
15 to 30 per cent, we lay in a tremendous stock.
Write or call for our partial payment plan in detail. Selec
tion packages sent anywhere upon request.
