Hid tin time is short.
Provide Christmas Joy for These.
Atlanta is not. a city of slums, nor
has it a grfeat population of miserably
poor. Its people are brave and pr<m
and even the poorest hesitate to call for |
public aid.
But there ate hundreds upon hun-1
flreds of homes where every cent the
wage earner can scrape together must
be devoted to actual necessities: where, I
the purchase of coal and food and I
ciothing leaves nothing for the little!
things which children consider the |
great things.
There can be no toys when the gro- I
tw is calling for his money: no candies]
and fruit when the pantry is bare of
flour.
Cheerless Xmas Childhood Tragedy.
It isn’t any joke to be a child on
I'hrisunas morning and find no little
gift to mark the day when al) the other
children in the street are playing with
brand-new toys, it is a pitiful tragedy
"f childhood, a tragedy which leaves
Its mark in after years.
A child can understand cold and hun
ger and patched or ragged garments,
but a child who has been taught the
universal love of Him whose birthday
' celebrated on Christmas can not
understand why He who loves all lit
he ones permits happiness to come to
'he rich and misery to the poor on the
" ne day in the year most precious of I
the calendar of childhood.

Banish the Ghost of an Empty
Stocking From Your Xmas Feast
On Christmas morning your children will jump from their
warm beds to run laughing in glee to the well-filled stockings
] at the mantel, filled in the night by a Santa Claus whose liber
ality was limited only by your good fortune in a year which
has been prosperous. They will shout with joy over the good
things Santa has bought, and you, smiling at their joy, will find
the greatest happiness of your own Christinas day.
But if you could look through the walls and across many
streets you might see a little room, dark and comfortless,
where a child is sitting on a tireless hearth, clasping an empty
stocking, hung there on Christinas eve because the unquestion
ing faith of a child was stronger than the cold reasoning of
the parents who knew only too well that Santa Claus comes
not to the homes of the penniless.
If you could see that picture on Christmas morning wouldn’t
vou pause in your happy merriment and say:
“If 1 ha donly known in time!”
The Georgian, by its Empty Stoking fun, is trying to tell
vou in time. Contribute as liberally as you can, and your
Christmas morning will be happier for the realiaztion that you
did what you could.

PANKHURST PUPIL
ASPIRES TO STIR UP
TROUBLE IN MILLS
PITTSBURG, Dec. 12.—When “Bill”
Haywood, leader of the Industrial
Workers of the World, returns to the
Pittsburg steel mil] district tomorrow
from Chicago, he will meet a woman
who is to be one of his ablest lieuten
ants if the threatened general strike of
mill workers comes to a head. She is
Mrs. Dorothy Maloney Lancaster, an
ardent pupil of Mrs. Pankhurst, thy
English militant suffragist.
“I only wish 1 had the power to make
trouble in those mills," said Mrs. Lan
caster, who is 28 years of age and
pretty. "It may- come in a few days,
and then I’ll see if I can become a real
strike leader.”
Mrs. Lancaster recently addressed a
meeting of striking trainmen, and
aroused the workmen to such a pitch
that > parade and demonstration fol
lowed, with the little woman leading
the procession.
But one thing divides her interest in
the strike. It’s her six-months-old
baby.
“I married because I wanted a baby,”
she said today. Just then a baby’s cry
attracted her attention,
"See," she said, "she’s going to be a
real trouble-maker, too. She’s starting
already.”
GETS FAT IN JAIL, WIFE
ENTERS HER COMPLAINT
YONKERS, N. V., Dec, 12.—Mrs.

MARINES HURRIED TO
SAN DOMINGO AGAIN
AS REVOLT LOOMS UP
WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.—With every
hour bringing alarming information
concerning a new revolution in Santo
Domingo, navy department officials to
day began active mobilization of ma
rines to be sent to the island.
Orders were issued to all navy yards
along the Atlantic coast to hold their
men ready to proceed to Dominican
waters on short notice.
The transport Prairie, at Philadel
phia, was warned that she might be
needed in a hurry to carry the marines
southward.
The Prairie, which returned iron?
Santo Domingo only five days ago,
could be coaled and provisioned in 48
hours, and it is probable that if more
pacific reports do not reach the state
department before tomorrow night, the
transport and 500 men will be ordered
south. "
The battleship New Hampshire, car
rying a landing party of 60 marines and
250 sailors, left Hampton Roads hur
riedly last night for Santo Domingo.
General Arias was defeated for the
presidency, and is reported to be on the
point of revolt, and the New Hampshire
has orders to land marines and blue
jackets if conditions demand. Rein
forcements may be sent, if necessary.
A FINE OF $25 SPEEDING

I Payne was heard by Justice Buyck at
Irondequoit, who imposed a fine of $25.
To be prepared to take an appeal, the
defendant had with him in court a

court convictions against him at the
age of 30 he will inherit $50,000.

GANAL MEET FDR
U.S.MERGHANT
MARINE
“Ship Subsidy” Term Elimi
nated From Resolution as
Objectionable.
The Panama canal conference lias
adjourned, but echoes of “merchant
marine” st'.'! remain, it was the desire
of tin convention to keep Its maiden
session fie.' ; om politics and tactions,
but vigoAFj!.- support and as vigorous
opposition developed when the question
of moving Ame iean commerce through
the Panama car.ai was opened.
An issue was I’o, eed at the afternoon
session yesterday when Samuel G. ,
Douglas, of Nashville, introduced a res
olution which he had been trying to
Introduce for 1“ horns. This called for
a rehabilitation of the American mer
chant marine by congress. The resolu
tion was passed after it had been shorn
of the ..-bjeetionable term "ship sub
sidy.”
Glass Objects to Move.
The Douglas resolution got a “rise”
out of branlc P. Glass, editor of The
Birmingham News and The Montgom
ery Advertiser, who declared that "the
Southern people as a whoh are oppose ■
to this resolution, and Southern eon
gressmen wili pay no att- ntion to It if it
Is passed.”
Mr. Glass’ remarks b'ought a retort
from D. M. Stewart, of Chattanooga,
representing lary- manufacturing in
terests in the Tennessee city.
“I fail to’ see the argument in Mr.
Glass’ statement," he asserted. "I
thought we came here to talk business
arid not politics, and if 1 had ’known I,
was to get into a political convention I
should not have come.”
John W. Po’ eh and M. B. Trezevant,
of New Orleans; Leland Hume, of
Nashville, and G. B. Weatherly, of
Brunswick, spoke for the resolution.
President W. W. Pinley, of the Southern
railway, opposed it on the ground that
this was not the time nor the place for
it. lie always had favored a merchant
marine, he declared.
Railroads Oppose Marine.
The merchant marine question is a
widely discussed one throughout the
United States and always leads to sharp
controversies. It generally is believed
that the railroads oppose it because the
extensive transportation of commercial
products by water might cut seriously
Into land transportation business. Low
er freight rates and better and more
varied routes are wanted, however, by
the advocates of a merchant marine.
One of the delegates pointed out that
the United States government owned 99
per cent of the merchantmen at the
opening of he Civil war, but that Ad
miral Semmes and others of the Con
federate navj’ destroyed so many ships
that the country never has fully recov
ered.
England. Germany and other nations,
he declared, took advantage of this
period of commercial depression to get
the business of this country, and have
held it since. He declared that there
were at present only nine freight-carry
ing ships sailing under the Federal flag.
COUNCIL STAVES OFF
MONUMENT REMOVAL
BY REFUSING PERMIT
MACON, GA., Dec. 12.—8 y refusing
to give the receiver of the Marietta
Marble and Granite Company permis
sion to work in a city park, the city
council is seeking to save the monu
ment to the "Women of the South,”
which was unveiled here two years ago
by the veterans and Daughters of the
Confederacy with much ceremony.
The shaft was purchased by the vet
erans, but has never been fully paid for.
The veterans presented the monument
to the Daughters of the Confederacy,
and they in turn gave it to the city,
which erected it in the park in front of
the city hall.
The receiver for the marble company
wants to dismantle the monument be
cause of the unpaid indebtedness, but is
prevented by reason of not having the
city’s consent to work in a z city park.
Members of council openly stated in
meeting that they would never willing
ly give the permission, and referred the
request to a committee, with the re
quest that action be delayed on it as
long as possible.
The local attorney for the receiver of
the marble company states that a man
damus will probably be sought against
the city to force it to allow the dis
mantling of the monument.
BARRY TO BE NAMED
AS CHIEF OF STAFF
NEIV YORK, Dee. 12. —Major Gen
eral Thomas H. Barry, U. S. A., com
manding the Department of the East
and formerly head of the military acad
emy at West Point, is slated to be the
new chief of stats, succeeding Major
General Leonard Wood, according to a
well authenticated rumor. General
Wood’s detail as chief of staff expires
automatically with the retirement of
President Taft.

Auto Kills Child as She Plans Christmas Joys
CLUTCHES DOLL IN DEATH
Everybody expected to be planning
for Christinas at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Adrian L. Beauchamp, 237 Bryan
street, today. But an automobile killed
the little daughter of the house and
crushed a big doll she held in her arms
i on Boulevard yesterday afternoon, and
instead of Christmas joy funeral gloom
hovers over the Beauchamp home.
The little girl, Ava, was nine years
old. She was returning from the home
of her aunt, Mrs. G. B. Beauchamp. 237
Boulevard, with a doll in her arms, for
which her aunt had just finished a
Christmas dress. It was to be the most
beautiful toy on a Christmas tree the
child was planning.
It was dark and raining. The big
Van of the city stockade was rumbling
down the street. The automobile truck
of the Capital City Tobacco Company
came up the other way. The stockade
van started to turn in Bryan street.

Atlanta Awaits Lipton s Ver diet on Its Beauties
SIR THOMAS IS IMPARTIAL
Thine are French dukes and Italian
counts and every now and then an Eng
lish lord several thousand pounds worse
than broke who come a wife-hunting in
America, first looking up the eligible
offerings in Dun's and Bradstreet's well
known social blue books.
It isn’t so often that a bachelor with
a title and more real money in nis bank
book than a steel magnate can show
comes visiting in tlie States, and when
he does there is naturally considerable
speculation as to his intentions.
Taut's one reason why Sir Thomas
Lipton’s swing around the country is
causing so much speculation in society
circles from coast to coast, not to men
tion a few inland cities.
Not Barred From Marital Stakes.
. And the mere detail that Sir Thomae
has passed the sixtieth lap on the giddy
whirl of life doesn't bar him from the
matrimonial stakes. Even if he didn’t
own a neat little tea business, a title
and the most famous yachts on earth,
he would be considered some catch, for
doesn't he hob-nob with royalty and
entertain the very top of the pot in Eu
rope ?
And, besides that, he’s just about as
fine anri jolly a chap as anybody would
care to meet, as Atlanta has learned
since yesterday. And a fair share of
Atlanta society has met him.
Os course, everybody is trying to
mai ry otT Sir Thomas. It is a tribute
to the civic pride of ’Frisco, and Denver,
(pid Salt Lake, and New Orleans, and
New York, and Boston that each of
them would like to furnish a Lady Lip
ton.
Lloyds Wager on Him.
Everywhere Sir Thomas went the ru
mor was sure to go tha,t .at last he had
coni'- ami seen and been conquered.
Then was a debutante in San Fran
cisco and a society bud in Chicago and
there once was a widow in Narragan
sett, it Is rumored —but anyway noth
ing ever came of the rumors.
They do say that Lloyds of London,
who will insure against anything from
twins in the family to a mother-in
law's visit, considers Sir Thomas’ bach
elorhood a nine-to-one bet and no limit
on the game. When a man has gone 60
years without finding his way up the
middle aisle with the ’cello softly sob
bing “Oh. Promise Me,” he may fairly
be considered an immune.
But that doesn’t hinder Sir Thomas’
hosts from taking pride in presenting
the very choicest array of personal

across the da'k street. There was an is
instant of terrible uncertainty and i
then the appealing scream of a child. 1
When chauffeur D. A. Rowe had 3 ]
stopped his machine and got to the T® '
ground he found the form of the little |
girl mangled and lifeless. The doll, too. '||
was scattered into bits, but little Ava I
still clutched Hie wax head in her hand, i
Lowe drove to the city stockade, i
which was near, and surrendered. He
said he did not see tlie child In time to
stop, because the stockade van ob
scured his view. He said it was his fl
first day as bhauffeur for the company, |
but that he had had five years expert- ‘I
ence in driving automobiles. He was 1
released on a SI,OOO bond, charged with .3
reckless driving.
John W. Wood, driver of the stock- j
ade van and an eyewitness to the |
tragedy, said that he truck seemed to ]
him to be running at the rate of at !a
least 25 miles an hour. , , >j
pulchritude possible whenever he comes |
to town. There are no less than two
ecore maids and matrons in America
who still base their claim to being
Queen of the May on the strength of
Sir Thomas having pronounced each,
separately, “the prettiest woman I ever
saw."
Atlanta Holds Its Breath.
And just now all Atlanta is holding
its breath and wondering who will win
the apple from this modern Paris.
The program for the week will pre
sent a dozen or two of the prettiest |
girls in the society set. Not that any
Atlanta girl would wed a foreigner; far
be it from, far be it from! But they
are all willing to prove that Atlanta can
furnish as glittering a galaxy of girl
hood as any other old town, from Dub
lin to Honolulu.
There were a hundred or so presented
at the reception given Sir Thomas by '
Colonel Willis Ragan yesterday after
noon. And just to show how Sir Thom
as feels about it, he disappeared from
the ball room where the receiving line
was greeting the guests, and a search
ing party located him In the drawing
room, where the younger set was pour
ing tea.
Tea Might Have Attracted Him.
There were Misses Katherine Ellis.
Harriet Calhoun, Marjorie Brown, Sa
rah Rawson. Kathryn Gordon, Annie 1
Lee McKenzie, Mary Helen Moody, An
nie Orme and Martha Phinizy. Os
course, it may have been the tea which
attracted him.
And tonight Sir Thomas will meet
another galaxy of girlish grace. Colonel
Willis Ragan gives a dinner at his
home.t o which twei.iy guests are in
vited. Some of the same girls who
poured tea will be there, with others. '
The list includes Mrs. Albert Thornton.
Misses Annie Orme, Harriet Calhoun.
Martha Phinizy, Katherine Ellis, Mar
garet Hawkins, Marjorie flrown, Pas
sie May Ottley, Esther Smith and Helen
Payne.
Sir Thomas expects to leave Satur
day, and It is probable he will say con
fidentially to a friend that is *
absolutely the prettiest young woman
he ver met, and the friend will tell :
somebody else In strict confidence, and
by tea time very body will be discuss
ing Sir Thomas’ idea of personal pul
chritude and disagreeing with him. And
then Sir Thomas will sail back to Lon
don. heart whole and fancy free—but
there’s many an old bird who falls Into
a trap at last. You never can tell.
