THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
mi! MUCH LI,
T
Prevailing Unrest Injures Busi
ness—Lack of Sympathy
Destroys Incentive.
By B. C. FORBES.
Throughout this country there is a
growing tendency to act first and then
think. We have too much action and
not enough thinking. We pass a hun
dred laws, for example, where five
would suffice. No other nation scrib
bles on its statute books such a con
glomeration of nonsense as our legis
lators indulge in every year.
* * *
We are too restless, to fsverish, too
prone to chase after will-o’-the-wisp
panaceas. We are becoming enam
ored -of turmoil, or social strife, of
backbiting.
* # *
There are manifold wrongs to be
righted, it is true. We do well to rise
up in wrath against certain practices
in both high and low places. Yet,
the symptoms of restlessness preva
lent to-day suggest underlying god-
lessness, or, perhaps I should call it
mental poise.
* * #
Our educational institutions teach
how to do things rather than how to
think. And when one considers that
progress should, and no doubt will,
mean less need for all-day work and
more time for thought and reflec
tion, it it not infinitely important that
THINKING be cultivated? Have not
many of us lost the habit of com
munion with ourselves? Some have
even ceased to be able to converse.
We must have constant distraction
—-business, it may be, or pleasure.
We must have an eternal round of
theaters, cabarets, moving pictures,
vaudeville, automobiling, boating,
trips hither and thither, “thrillers” of
the Coney Island pattern, etc., etc.,
etc.
We have little opportunity to get
acquainted with ourselves.
* * *
Family life, the quiet home circle,
tranquil pursuits are a-dying.
* * *
The storm and strife of business,
of money-making appears to be grow
ing more tense and desperate every
day. We have all but killed senti
ment in the hurly-burly of latter-day
competition.
* * »
We have not masters and men, but
corporations and “hands.” The head
of a department told me on Saturday
that an employe came to him and ex
pressed regret at leaving after fifteen
years’ service, but the executive was
nonplussed, for he was not aware that
he had ever set eyes on the employe
until that moment!
“Efficiency” is supposed to be a foe
to all sentiment In business. My
humble opinion is that without a
modicum of sentiment between the
employee and the employer or supe
rior you can not have the fullest mea
sure of efficiently. There must be
something more than the mere per
formance of a task under strict sur
veillance. There must be some sense
of loyalty, a spirit of camaraderie, the
right esprit de corps. You can not
geth the best results by a policy of
heartlessness, by treating men as ma
chines, by ignoring the human side of
them. They are of the same flesh and
blood as their overseers and em
ployers. They have like hopes and
ambitions. They have family ties, do
mestic troubles and joys exactly as
their “superiors” have.
* * *
On Saturday I was privileged to
attend an annual outing of one of our
great banks, an institution employ
ing a force of between 450 and 500.
Its president had them all, along with
almost as many of their.families and
friends, at his beautiful home as his
guests for the afternoon and even
ing. Such a gracious act makes more
for loyalty and honesty and industry
and service than all the “efficiency”
maxims propounded in the last
half dozen years.
* * *
The personal element can not be
crushed and killed with impunity. A
little break in the year’s round, such
as that I mention, serves as a re
minder that life has its pleasant as
well as its serious side; that there is a
time to laugh as well as work; that
the chief officer is not above asso
ciating with the humblest clerk, :hat
all are human, that there are other
bonds than salary contracts.
* * *
There is need for taking the rough
edge off life. There is need for sen
timent and sympathy and fuller un
derstanding, room for a helping hand,
for a little encouragement. Things
can not always go well. Life is not
one grand, sweet song.

Sharpest Competition Due in

Only on American.
Just one week from Thursday The
Georgian and American pony contest
closes! Think what this means to

fore, the contestants should concen
trate their' efforts. The ‘Red Letter
Ballots” may save the day for any
boy or girl. Red letter ballots are
good for 4,500 votes, in addition to
the regular schedule, when accom
panied by a two-year paid-in-ad
vance subscription to The Sunday
American; 2,000 votes when accom
panied by a year’s subscription and
800 votes when accompanied by a
six months’ subscription.
No matter what newspaper, or how 7
many newspapers, the resident of
Atlanta or the South reads during
the week, every one wants The Sun
day American. Therefore, while this
bonus offer is not as liberal as those
which have gone before, it should be
of great assistance in piling up votes.
And how the votes will roll up dur
ing the week! The standings will be
published every day, for a time.
Watch them, and see how keen is the
race for the ponies.
It is a safe prediction that every
day will see startling changes in the
standings. This last week of the
contest is not going to be pleasant
for the over-confident, for the easy
going, or for the faint-hearted. It
will be a cruel pace set by the leaders,
w'ith every one guessing, and every
one in the dark.
There is not a boy or a girl in any
district who can be sure of success,
not a one but needs every possible
vote that cun be solicited, entreated,
or cajoled from relatives, friends, or
strangers.
It is the home stretch which the
contestants are entering now, and the
going will be swift.
SIDELIGHTS
ON POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Tile (’ommittee on Constitutional
Amendments i« the hardest worked
committee at present in the House,
but when it has cleared away the new
county propositions, which it Is try
ing manfully to do, it will get a much
needed and deserved breathing spell.
Mr. My rick, of Chatham, the chair,
man of the committee, is one of the
Legislature’s really tireless workers,
and sits patiently through the most
exhaustive hearings, without express
ing the slightest desire to cut any
body off or shut up the noise.
He seems determined to give every
new county proposition coming up a
“square deal” and a full committee
hearing, no matter what happens
thereafter in the House.
After the new counties are disposed
of, however, the work of the Con
stitutional Amendments Committee
will be by no means at an end. There
yet is to come up Mr. Eklmond**on’s
bill calling for a Constitutional con
vention, and while the Impression Is
that no such bill likely will pass the
House at this session., that would by
no means sfrnp Constitutional
Amendments Committee from consid
ering, and recommending it, one way
or the other, to the Houw.
Besides this, there are half dozen
other proposed amendments to the
Constitution, some of which will have
aggressive and most influential back
ing. All of these Chairman Myrlck
intends giving a hearing, If time holds
out.
The only thing that can head off
the chairman of Constitutional
Amendment* Committee in the mat
ter o£ hard 7 work, is adjournment—
R. C. Overstreet, Sylvania, Ga.
and that will not come for twenty-odd
days yet.
Phil Cook, Secretary of State, is
happy!
He think* he is going to get a new
Great Seal of State soon, and that Is
what he has been looking for—these
many days.
For long, long years, Secretary
Cook's pet grievance—he hasn’t many
grievances of any sort—has been that
worn-out Great Seal of State, which,
despite his best efforts, can hardly be
made out on legal documents.
Secretary Cook isn’t at all foolish
about great seals of state, either. He
figures that he could have wabbled
along without them, had they never
been Invented, and he would be, per
haps. quite as happy, had he never
heard tell of one.
Still, if Georgia must have a great
seal of state, he opines that it should
fte one that might be differentiated
from other and less important seals,
and that without the aid of a 40-
horsepower microscope.
“Look at this thing, now,” said the
Secretary, exhibiting a specimen of
the present great seal’s most deadly
work. “Could you tell whether that is
the great seal of Georgia or the great
seal of Kamchatka? I couldn’t, if
I didn’t know. What’s the use hav
ing such a great seal?”
Nobody could answer that, and so
everybody listening agreed that the
Legislature should, and probably will,
pass the present bill of Mr. Nunnally,
providing for a new great seal.
“The best office in Bibb County”
will not be the best office after the
first of January If a bill proposed by
Representative Wallace Miller is
passed by the present Legislature.
This is the office of Clerk of the
City Court, now held by Charles H.
Smith, 23 years of age, who draws ail
income of $8,000, collected in fees.
Mr. Miller’s bill puts the clerk on a
salary basis and provides for a salary
of $2,400. The clerk is appointed by
the judge, who now receives a salary
of $3,300, but for whose benefit there
lias already been a bill Introduced,
raising the pay to $5,000.
The duties of this Clerk of Court
are very light, and as he has a well-
paid assistant, the office is really a
delightful one. It has long been con
sidered the choicest office of the
county.
Professor J. W. Boyd, of Fair-
mount, Gordon County, whose elo
quent plea for Tate County was suc
cessful before the House Committee
on Constitiutional Amendments Tues
day, is one of the most picturesque
men that ever served in the Georgia
Legislature.
When a member of the State Senate
in 1908, he Introduced the famous bill
abolishing the convict lease system
in Georgia, and no man fought for
the passage of that measure through
both Houses and both committees
more aggressively and more effect
ively than Boyd.
He Is an orator of the old school,
with a “hallelujah lick” that reminds
one instantly of that other eloquent
North Georgian, the late Congress
man William H. Felton. Undoubtedly.
It was Boyd’s great effort before the
committee on Tuesday that carried
the day for Tate.
The argument winning the great
est favor, perhaps, was that wherein
Boyd assured the committee that the
creation of Tate would result, by
reason of the amalgamation therein of
the Republican end of Pickens, in the
abolition of one rock-ribbed Republi
can county—Pickens—and the crea
tion of a new rock-ribbed Democratic
county of Tate.
It has been years since Pickens sent
a Democrat to the Legislature, all
because of the Republican end of the
county that Boyd proposes to whack
off. The Republicans of Pickens,
needless to say, are bitterly opposed
to Tate and are fighting it tooth and
nail. The pressing of this partisan
point before the committee, however,
wai effective.
Of course. Senator Boyd urged oth
er points, such as earnest desire upon
the part of the population effected,
necessity of location, wealth and
Tate's ability to take care of itself,
but the big card undoubtedly seems
to have been the anti-Republiean ar
gument before a Democratic commit
tee.
Tate wllLffo before the House when
It does go with conaideiable favor be

business is in good shape and the stock
of this company and the United Steel
Corporation should sell considerably
higher before the end of the year. The
demand for copper metal is again quite
active and it is more than likely that
the price will show a gradually advanc

higher prices.—G. D. Potter.

NEW YORK. July 23.—With cables at
a point or so better than had been ex
pected and no rain in either Texas or
Oklahoma, the cotton market opened
quiet and steady to-day. with prices
showing irregularity, being l ofT to 3
points higher than the dosing quota
tions of Tuesday. Barometric conditions
as shown on the map did not indicate
any rain in prospect for the Western
belt, resulting In most active positions

the initial level.

the call when another drop of 30 points
In July cotton at New Orleans unsettled
the market. July New 7 Orleans dropped
from 12.00 to 11.70. while August fol
lowed with a loss of 25 points. This,
together with the late map showing un
settled weather condition in the Western
belt, was about the only interesting fea
ture. With the exception of scattered
trade buying, the market was friendless
and prices droped 6 to 12 points from
the opening. July and August were the
heaviest pressed, both declining 12
points. The selling was generally ac
credited to holders of long contracts,
who were tired of waiting for the mar
ket to pull out of the rut.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says; "July gyrations stirred the leth
argic New Orleans talent out of a half
slumber Ring traders were not look
ing for anything of the kind, and for a
time lacked an adequate explanation of
the market's action. All along It has
been understood that the strength of the
New Orleans July position resulted from
the presence of concentrated long In
jerest, held by a few men who were ex
pected t<> stand pat and receive cotton,
and from the presence of a scattered
long interest held bv men who were
simply riding on the backs of the other
fellow. 8o confident were the riders that
July would be protected to the last that
they neglected the small but Important
formality of watching the pulse of the
market, In session and out.
"Early yesterday the fact became
known to a few that the concentrated
long interest in July had been wholly
liquidated and the wise ooys moved to
the ringside to watch the fun when the
'riders' should wake up. The news
spread slowly and the sensitive nerve
was not touched until after the lunch
hour. Then pandemonium broke loose.
There were not a great many outstand
ing specualtlve long contracts, but as
everybody Interested wanted to llqui-
date'at one and the same moment, fluc
tuations were violent. The talent has
now turned its attention to August. It
is well within the range of the possible
that a few of the 2,300 bales taken up on
July contracts may be retendered on
August. It is also possible that the
talent may shy away from August, be
cause of the comparative rapidity with
which new crop cotton Is now showing
up. as there is a disposition In some
quarters to believe that ‘first’ hales will
be more quickly followed by a free
movement than la usual.”
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
"Wheat traders were Inclined to Ignore
the big export business aiui argued that
with a large movement and a tight
money market, prices are not expected
to work much higher and hold any ad
vance.
"It was said by corn traders last night
that should there be good rains «h«»wn
on the map to-day prices may go some
lower, but that corn should be bought
on any good break
"From the action of oats yesterday
traders were inclined to look upon It as
having been overbought in the last few
days. There is a disposition, however,
to buy on every decline.”

Bears are predicting a liberal Western
movement of wheat this week.
* * *
Liverpool weekly stocks were: Wheat,
3,216.000 bushels, and corn, 893,000 bush
els Wheat increased 464,000 bushels
and corn unchanged.

The Western hog run during the past
week w 7 as 445,800, compared with J$67,-
000 last year. The movement of pro
visions from Chicago Is somewhat larger
than last year and probably offsets the
increased hog receipts.
