Thp Chattanooga News Tells Why
This City Is Going Ahead
So Rapidly.
The following editorial from the
Ghattanooga News in worth rending
and studying carefully:
(From the Chattanooga Newt.)
A FINE EXAMPLE.
The city within 150 miles of
Chattanooga, which la probably
growing faater than any of our
neighbors, is Atlanta. Persons
who consider moving to this sec
tion of the South will, no doubt,
compare Chattanooga with At
lanta. Chattanooga’? growth has
been splendidly satisfactory dtir
Ing tha past two years, but If It
ran be Increased In any wav, it
behooves the citizens of Chatta
nooga to take the staps neoessa
ry to make our community the
favorite with desirable new cit 1 -
sens. So it is well for us to
analyze conditions frankly.
Suppose, for example, some de
sirable family, reared In a Chris
tian community, contemplated re
moval to a Central Southern City.
What, special inducements rouid
Chattanooga give over Atlanta ?
We might cite a good many. In
fact, in only two respects do we
think that city, more than Chat
tanooga. would make a special
appeal to a family of the above
description.
It is proper to speak of these
The first is, that Atlanta has
solved the problem of law en-
feroement under prohibition bet
ter than any other Southern city.
Very little strong drink is sold m
Atlanta. The law is evaded to a
greater extent as to lighter
drinks, but the number of saloons
is limited and by reason of the
prohibition of the sale of whisky,
drunkenness is reduced to a min
imum.
There is a fine spirit exhibited
in Atlanta for law enforcement.
The law is accepted as final and
there is no conspiracy against it.
The newspapers do not encour-
*ge its violation. This sentiment
for law observance is a splendid
pedestal upon which to erect a
municipal edifice.
Nor has law enforcement mili
tated against business progress.
There is no greater fallacy than
that a wide-open town aids
growth. .Morality, In rommuni
ty a* well as individual, not on
ly is right, hut also Ik profitable.
Another triumph of Atlanta Is
In reducing the so-called soda!
evil to a minimum. Two young
men belonging to what I* called
the Men and Religion Forward
Movement, one a lawyer, the oth
er a business man of wealth, are
largely responsible for this re
form. Space was taken In the
newspapers and day after day ad
vertisements were written by the
lawyer and published, urging the
abolition of the restricted district.
Men of wealth, members of
churches, prominent in church and
public affairs, camelled their
leases and demanded possession
of their premises, being used for
immoral purposes.
The wealthy young business man
expressed the curious doctrine
that, “business is a ministry and
that a man should serve the
world in his huslness.” A home
was provided for the women who
expressed a desire to reform and
more than 200 ware thus taken
care of. Conditions In Atlanta
are now- cleaner than In any
other American city. It is said.
The example set by our sister-
city, ought to appeal to us, both
from the standpoint of placing
Chattanooga on an equality with
its competitive city In respect to
the correction of these evils and
also because such reforms they
might have In the race for
growth and population be of tre
mendous worth to this communi
ty outside of any effect it might
have in the race for growth and
population and business.
It took two men of courage In
Atlanta to do these big things—
one man of courage in Chatta
nooga i ould do much; a hundred
men of courage would certainly
lead the way to a new era.

Miss Delia Dana Has Advanced
Opinions on Matrimony,
Eugenics and Evolution.
BOSTON. May 21. Trial marriages
as a means of improving the race
were vigorously advocated to-day by
Miss Delia TV Dana, granddaughter of
the poet Longfellow, and sister of Ed
mund Trowbridge Dana, who mar
ried Jessie Holiday, the English por
trait painter with a ceremony of his
own devising.
I ndeterred by the fact that Ed
mund has been a trolley car conduct
or while his bride lived in England,
Miss Dana is busy revising slightly
the ceremony her brother wrote. S'w
will use it herself when she weds, in
June. Robert H. Hutchinson, a fellow
Socialist and a post-graduate stu
dent at Harvard.
Miss Dana is certain that th ir
marriage will not he a trial one. but
as she believes that you never can
tell about anything, she thinks that
the trial is the only solution of the
problem of w hv-do-men-quarr !-
w ith-their-wives, or whv’s-the-hus-
band-nagged-out-of - home-and - fire
side.
The Dana family service in its
latest revised and amended form ia:
“I. Delia F. Dana. take you, Rob
ert H. Hutchinson, as my lawful hus
band. and promise faithfully to fulfill
toward you all the obligations aris
ing from the married state, and 1
hope to be true comrade and help
mate; us a symbol thereof. I give you
this ring."
\fter which HE repeats a similar
formula, slipping on HER finger a
gold ring in contradistinction to the
silver one SHE uses.
“We shall exchange no set vows,"
an id the poet’s granddaughter, “hut
we shall try to live fully up to the
requirements of those we do ex
change. Marriage is a calling which
should be studied just as one would
any calling, such as nursing, for ex
ample. It is realty a definite work,
but usually few women are prepared
for it.
Miss Dana, like some other in
vestigators in the field, says that she
sees the passing of the idle rich. She
believes in socialism, she says, be
cause she sees in it better w ages and
the general application of the obli
gation to work.

HERPICIDE
The man who wears a toupee does not
like it. but has the courage of his con
victions.
Nature never intended that the top of
the head should he left entirely without
protection. A bald head is very suscep
tible to contraction of colds and neu
ralgia. Wearing an artificial top piece
counteracts this tendency, and. aside
from the improvement in the personal
appearance, is amply justified.
How much better it would have been
had the man. now chronically bald and
wearing a toupee, but realized earlier in
life the approaching danger and do
voted a little regular attention to his
hair, which would have saved it.
There is a remedy which will abso
lutely prevent baldness. Loss of hair in
nine cases out of ten is unnecessary,
being due to dandruff and the germ that
causes it. This germ must be destroyed
and the accumulations of dandruff
HERPICIDE CO*
checked. Then the hair will not fall out,
but instead will grow naturally and lux
uriantly.
Newbro’s Herpicide is the remedy,
regular applications of which ofttimes
produces th" most gratifying results. It
has long been known as the “original
’•emedy that kills the dandruff germ"
and is absolutely dependable.

“I CAME FROM THE COUNTRY WITH
TWENTY DOLLARS”
Editor The Georgian:
Dear Sir Have just received The Georgian and read your home owners contest plan It struck me so forci-
Olv that I did not wait to look over the paper, but got on the job.
On December 1, 1906, we landed In Atlanta with two or three months prov isions (came from the country) r and
not more than $20 in money. Went to work for $19 per week, but was raised soon. That first year was a blue
one. Sickness of family was followed by a sped of typhoid fever by myself, so I closed the year $40 behind where
I began By April 15. 190?. this was cleared up. Then the greatest trouble that confronted me was those monthly
rent receipts with tiie $13 on the corners. They looked mighty unlucky tome. About that time a real estate firm
advertised very’ extensively some lots of a subdivision which they had made at $200 per lot—$2 dow n and $2 per
week. I went and looked at them at once and offered $4 cash and $3 per week for two lots, which they accepted.
Getting a brother to go my security. I managed to borrow $300 with that brother’s aid. I hulled in three rooms
and moved in Then work began in earnest; by sunlight and lamplight I was at it (having some knowledge of
carpenter work). In one year’s time I had them finished, and lots were half paid for.
Relng crowded in so small a house and it not in keeping with the community, I wasn't content to stop there
So Mcent hack to this real estate firm and asked them to loan me 1200 to build more house. They treated mo as
nice as they did in the flrst trade. , So I went to work and built three more rooms, which gives me a house of six
rooms now finished.
Work was practically all done by mys»lf at odd times. And I have a home worth $2,300. and what I owe
will not exceed $209.
But It took work.' work, work! C. E. »
