Dixie’s Merchants Take Important
Step in Convention—Geor
gia Man President.
Convinced of the value of their an
nual gatherings, the merchants in
convention at the Auditorium Friday
morning organized a permanent body ,
the Southern States Merchants’ Asso
ciation, which will perpeuate these
meetings and ‘‘co-operate in all ways
calculated to advance the interests
of its members.”
J. W. Vaughn, of Cartersville, Ga..
is to be president of the association,
at least until the next convention in
February, 1914. Other officers are:
Vice presidents, R. O. Crouch, of Grif
fin, Ga., and T. E. Smith, of Greer,
S. C.; secretary-treasurer, H. T.
Moore.
Resolutions binding delegates to re
fuse credit to farmers who will not
diversify their crops was not adopted.
In modified form, simply indorsing
diversification, the resolutions were
passed.
Stock Raising Indorsed.
The convention further indorsed the
raising of live stock and the improve
ment of the lower Missippi River
The bills fathered by the Georgia Re
tailers also were approved.
There will be one more session of
the convention Saturday. Entertain
ment features, however, continue an
other week.
“The farmer’s not has proven so
good in 100 country banks and 1,000,-
000 transactions that we are almost
ready to say that we have lost more
money on the obligations of the
United States in the recent decline of
its bonds than we have lost in deal
ing with the farmer,” said W. S.
Witham, resenting the "prevalent
condescending and patronizing” atti
tude toward the farmer. I
Mr. Witham explained and praised
the farm loan banks of Europe.
Jones on Store Discipline.
Boling H. Jones, chairman, took
the subject of store discipline and
management. His suggestions w'ere
eminently practical. For eight years
he ran a chain of six retail stores,
arid from this experience cited seevral
lessons in storekeeping.
Failure of clerks to charge goods
sold, through lack of system, he be
lieves is responsible for a 3 per cent
leakage in many stores. A test con
vinced him of this, he said.
Mr. Jones preached strongly against
price cutting. The remedy is close
buying, and manufacturers woipd
prefer small and frequent orders, he
said.
"Give your clehks responsibility.
Let them do their own buying, and
they’ll work harder to do the selling.
Back up your clerks. Never quote a
lower price than you allow them to
make,” he conemded.
Complete Bookkeeping Urged.
"You need ne expert to supervise
y T our accounts,” said C. E. Pollard, of
the American Audit Company. “What
you need are records so complete
and so simple that they speak for
themselves. I plead for complete
books, to show costs of every kind
in detail. Very seldom, indeed, can
too many details be shown. Uusually,
too few' details are shown.”
L. C. Upshaw, of Douglasville. Ga.,
talked on credits and collections. At
the start he made many amusing
characterizations of various “poor
pay” types—“movers,” “scientific”
cranks of no real judgment, and
“pony sawmill” men.
Of the sawmill men, he said*: “Here
is a safe rule. If a pony sawmill
man owns one outfit, sell him cash.
If he aowns two outfits—don’t se.i
him at all.”
Fire Insurance Needed.
H. E. Choate reminded the delegates
that the United States pays $690,000
daily to the “demon fire”—about $2.50
per capita per year.
"No merchant can be without fire
insurance," he said. ‘‘We hear deal
ers say rates are too high. Rates are
high because hazard iss great, which
is the best reason for insurance. We
call piany men unfortunate when
tftey really are improvident.’’
He concluded with a plea for fire
prevention.
C. W. McClure urged the value of
organization, and advised delegates
to form associations in every small
town to watch credits and study mer
chandising.
He suggested farmers’ conventions
on the lines of the retailers’ conven
tion.
Why is the soda cracker today
such a universal food?
People ate soda crackers in the
old days, it is true—but they
bought them from a barrel or
box and took them home in a
paper bag, their crispness and
flavor all gone.
Uneeda Biscuit—soda crackers
better than any ever made before
—made in the greatest bakeries
in the world—baked to perfection
—packed to perfection—kept to
perfection until you take them,
oven-fresh and crisp, from their
protecting package. Five cents.

Pretty Anti-Kiss
Crusader Coming!
TORONTO, ONT., Aug. 8.—-Men
delegates to the International Con
gress of Geologists here marvel at
the record of Dr. Annie T. Quensel,

beautiful.
Dr. Quensel will lecture in the
United States in the interests of an
international anti-kissing crusade.
She says:
"Neither my husband nor I have
ever kissed any one. We believe
kissing a menace to good health, and
persons indulging should be punished
by law'.”
Mrs. Susie Wright

FORSYTH, Aug. 8.—News has

ipal eampaign will open next week with
the announcement of the Aldermanic
tickets by City Clerk Bridges Smith
and Alderman A. L. Dasher, who are

the entry of Mr. Dasher, whom he
agreed not to oppose. Mr. Smith of

Klondike Miner Gives Cash and
Auto to Couple Who Fed
Him When Tramp.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 8.—Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Rorron and George Pratt came
from Macon, Mo., to-day to buy an
automobile for the Borron family.
Pratt carried the money that was to
be paid for it. Borron had a cer
tificate of deposit for $1,500, a gift
of Pratt.
Seven years ago George Pratt was
on his way to the Klondike. He
became stranded in Macon, Mo., stop
ped at the Borron home and begged
food and lodging. He was given the
best food in the poor household and
in the night he became violently ill.
Mr. and Mrs. Borron cared for him
through an illness that lasted more
than a month. They gave him rail
road fare to Kansas City. When Pratt
left he said:
"If I strike it in the gold fields. I’ll
not forget you. I'll be back this way.”
Borron last evening answered a
knock and at the door faced a stran
ger. He did not remember Pratt, who
was dressed in clothes of the latest
fashion. Pratt extended a hand
filled with gold certificates.
“I'm George Pratt,” he said. “Here’s
$1,500. Stick it in your jeans. I
struck it rich in the Klondike. We’ll
get ready early in the morning to
buy an automobile. I have waited
until I could buy you one before I
tried to enjoy a ride.”

The Rev. T. W. O'Kelley, of Ra
leigh, N. C., hag declined the presi

THE HEART OF
GEORGIA
HEROD’S HOG
AMD
HEROD’S SON
A Roman cynic said:
“Rather be Herod’s hog than be Herod’s
son.”
Herod’s boys—
They were dead.
Herod’s heartlessness—
His cruel indifference had killed them.
The children had displeased Herod—
But the hog—he was alive.
When Herod died his hog and gold went
not with his soul.
To-day the heart of Georgia stirs—
Not with the lust and greed which brought
shameful fame to Herod of old—
But with the pity—
The tenderness—
The love which nineteen hundred years ago
began to flow from Christ crucified, our Lord.
You will not return to our great Mother,
the State, and say:
“Behold, this we have done for our fields,
our cows and hogs—
“For our girls and boys—
“We had neither the time to consider,
“Nor the funds to provide.”
For to-day Georgia holds flesh and blood as
of greater value than swine and kine—
To-day the tears and suffering of one little
girl whose life and honor might have been
saved had you made the provision—these are
worth more to your State than all the money,
about which we chatter'and talk forgetting
that lives are being lost.
And you are Georgia.
Your heart is hers—
Her heart is yours, as is her power.
And you will not neglect—
You will take the time.
You will never whine:
“WE HAVE NO MONEY FOR THESE.”
When you are spending money on cows and
hogs.
You will provide.
