Here 's the $50 cheek of The Georgian ahd The Sunday American, the first answer to the appeal
of the Assoeiated Charities for a fund to buy books and clothing for poor children who are
eager for an education, but are kept from school by poverty.
Georgian and Sunday American Start
Fund With $50 Check.
Ten-year old Willie Watson, who
lives somewhere on the East side of
the Georgia railroad, wants to go to
school and learn things. Then he
can do something worth while, and
his mother and his big sister will not
be forced to work all their lives in
the factory.
But just because mother and sister
must work, for little, and because all
their money is needed for things to
« at and a little to wear and a place to
sleep, there is none left for school
books and for such clothes that Wil
lie, properly clothed, may face his
schoolmates without shame. There
fore, the boy must stay at home with
his two llttler brothers and sisters.
It makes him cry sometimes, in
spite of all his manly ambitions, to
think that school opens so soon as
next Monday, and there apears no
chance, not the sllghest chance, for
him to enter.
But Willie is only one of more than
two hundred and fifty children of At
lanta. Boys and girls of many of the
city’s unfortunate families are feeling
the pinch of poverty to-day more than
if they were without fire or bed
clothes in the middle of winter—more
than if they were Just hungry. They
have not the means to pay even the
slender expenses incident to their at
tendance at public schools. Books
are beyond their reach. In the case
of 129 there are even no presentable
clothes.
Appeal Made to Public.
The fact is revealed in an appeal
which went out today from the office
of Joseph Logan. Superintendent of
the Associated Charities of Atlanta,
an appeal to the generosity of the
public. Not oi.ly money contributions
are asked, but gifts of clothes as well.
The Georgian and Sunday
American has heeded the ap
peal, heading the list with a
subscription of $50. The
Georgian and Sunday Amer
ican also will receive cash
contributions from the pub
lic which will be forwarded
immediately upon receipt to
the office of the Associated
Charities.
Tile appeal of Superintendent Ld- ,
gan specifies that all donations of
clothes be sent to the office of the j
Associated Charities, in the Gould 1
Building on Decatur street and Edge
wood avenue, between Peachtree and
Pryor streets
vided with entire outfits of clothing.
These are the children you never see
on Peachtree street, who probably
never come from their own narrow
streets, and who. it is threatened,
may be forced to stay in the same
narrow streets and in the same nar
row life, ignorant and unlettered—
just because they lack the money that
even public school attendance re
el u ires.
The amount necessary will amount
in no case to more than 410, It is esti
mated.
It is with something of an apology
that Superintendent Logan, of the
Associated Charities, makes the ap
peal for public help.
“No one regrets more than I," he
said, “that our finances are in such
shape that we can not meet this sit
uation without an appeal to the gen
erosity of the public, but the fact
remains that this is the only course
we can take to secure necessary aid.
We have been for several months in a
hand-to-mouth struggle to meet even
emergency distress calls.”
Mr. Logan related many instances
of extreme poverty. One case was
that of a widow' with six children, two
of whom, suffering from tuberculosis
of the bone, are kept at home, help
less. Two others work in the mills
and are the only support of the fam
ily. Then there are two small chil
dren, one 7 years old, the other 1,
who can not w r ork and who can not,
because of tlieir poverty, buy books
and clothes to go to school.
Time to Give is Short.
Another case is that of two or
phans, unwelcome children in the
home of a grandfather, who drinks
and neglects them.
“They give these orphans a place to
sleep and a little to eat,” said Mr
Logan, “but the children have been in
school only one year, and unless out
siders take an interest in their case
and help them, they will grow up in
absolute ignorance.”
The appeal has a simple directness
which, it is hoped, will be answered
by contributions from every quarter.
The gifts must be made immediately*
because less than a week remains
before the time for the opening of the
school session.
DEFICIENCY BILL
CUT 2-THIRDS
Appropriates $100,000 to Aid
Americans to Leave Mexico.
Total $3,809,379.40.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—“The women of
America are ‘beating’ their milliners
out of of $2,000,000 a year,” declared
Madam Marie Harries this afternoon,
praparatory to introducing a change
in the by-laws of the organization at
the convention of the National Asso
ciation of Retail Milliners, limiting
the credit to the fair wearers of the
latest styles to not more than 30 days.
Three thousand members of the as
sociation, which numbers 20,000 milli
ners throughout the United States,
met in convention in the Congress
Hotel to-day to pass the last word in
fall and winter styles.
Madam Harries, w'ho is president of
the association, believes that $100
should be a m.nimum average or
“dead” accounts lost by each member
annually.
“I favor enlisting the assistance of
husbands in closing up the unde
sirable accounts,” the president added.
“Many times the wife buys without
his knowledge, and while she may
have the right to do so to a limited
extent, I believe heavy accounts hould
be taken without delay to the head of
the house."
Madam Harries declare that the
“dead beat” from whom the milliners
suffer most is the woman who in
sists on a new hat for every month
in the year, with one or two extra
ones about Easter time.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—The gen-
oral deficiency appropriation bill, car
rying one*third of the amount asked
for by the government departments,
was reported to the House to-day by
the Appropriations Committee. The
bill inrlud#*H the $100,000 ssked for by
Secretary Bryan to aid destitute

Provision also is made for the abo
lition of the Commerce Court sixty

ment In behalf of other executive de
partments.

Tech Adds Evening
Commerce School
For Business Men
An important new department will
be added to the curriculum at Tech
College when the fall term opens Sep
tember 15. It will be known as the
Evening School of Commerce, and will
call for fourteen hours a week, eight
in recitation and lecture periods and
six in study.
It is claimed the new course w'ill
enable salesmen, credit men, insur
ance men and young engineers to de
velop in three years into executives
with concrete knowledge of business it.
would require twenty years to get by
the hit-and-miss method of profiting
by mistakes.
The college authorities say it will
place the student many years ahead of
his less studious competitor. The
course will continue throughout the
year.

Judge Pendleton severely scored tha
gambler and the pistol-toter in his
charge to the new' Grand Jury Tues
day morning, and asked the members
of the jury to see that every man
charged with either of these offenses
was indicted if the evidence Indicated
a possibility of his guilt.
The judge was bitter in his arraign
ment of persons who carry concealed
weapons, declaring *hat this was re
sponsible for much of the lawlessness
and violence with which the cour s
are flooded at present. He branded as
a coward the man who carries a pis
tol in a civilized community.
Judge Pendleton could find no ex
cuse for the practice of gambling.
There was no more senseless vice in
the catalogue than this, in his opin
ion. He asserted it was the duty of
the grand and the petit juries to see
that the gamblers are j. unished to the
extent of the law.
The present wave of crime was
mentioned by the judge. He said that
he .had observed the prevalence of
lawlessness and . that he was dis
turbed by it. He did not think, how
ever, that Fulton County was any
worse in this respect than any other
county of the State.
“Atlanta,” he said, “is a cosmopoli
tan city. We have here people from
all parts of the world. Some of them
possibly are not the most desirable
citizens. So it is not to be won
dered at that we have occasional
waves of crime and violence.”
H. Y. McCord, Sr., is foreman of
the new Grand Jury. The jury will
meet Friday morning and take up a
long list of cases, prominent among
which will be that of Jim Conley,
charged with being accessory after
the fact in connection with the murder
of little Mary Phagan, for which Leo
M. Frank is under sentence of death,
i After being organized the Jury re-
! tired to the Grand Jury room where
they were in short conference with
: Solicitor Dorsey.
Folowing is the personnel of the
Grand Jury: H. Y. McCord, Sr., fore
man, John W. Alexander, George H.
Sims, D. J. Baker, John H. Mullin, R.
H. Pickett, John J. Finnlgan, T. A.

H. M. Walker, George T. Howard and
George W. Moore.
Need More Police
Stations, Says Mayor.
Mayor Woodward declared Tues
day that the crime wave that has
spread over Atlanta emphasized the
need of police sub-stations.
“Ninety per cent of the cases made
by the police are against persons in
Decatur, Peters and Marietta streets,”
he said. “Because of the police sta
tion on Decatur street, that is the
most orderly of the three. We need a
sub-station on Peters street and one
on Marietta street.
“With the police within easy call of
these concentrated districts crime
would be greatly diminished in At
lanta and our city would be a safer
and better place to live in.”
Mayor Woodward was an Alderman
at the time the Decatur street police
station was built, and acted as chair
man of the committee that had charge
of its construction. It was the plan
then to add two sub-stations. He
pointed out Tuesday that Atlanta’s
rapid growth and the records of dis
order and crime made the need of
sub-stations now' infinitely greater.
After trying his 185 cases Mon
day, Recorder Pro Tem W. H. Pres
ton declared Monday It was the rec
ord day since prohibition.
Authorities at the Grady Hospital
fix the number of victims of crime
they have treated within the past two
weeks at approximately 150. The fa
talities reach a dozen.
Most of the record arrests have been
among the negroes, and this fact is
pointed out as an especial reason for
police sub-stations. When policemen
are around the negroes can be kept
orderly.

Z who j Big Display at Fair
Urged by President
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—President
Wilson has under consideration to
day plans for an appropriation for a
big Government building at the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition, and will con
fer soon with members of Congress.
The United States already has appro
priated $500,000 for exhibits.
The President expressed renewed
interest in the exposition and hoped
that any impression abroad that the
affair was a sectional one would be
dissipated.
Fifty members of the office and
field forces of the Foote A* Davies
Printing Company were banqueted at
the annual dinner of the company at
Hotel Ansley Monday night.
It was an event of conviviality and
good fellowship. After interesting
speeches, notable among them being
talks by Rabbi David Marx and W. G
Foote, president of the company, a
number of those present gave an am
ateur cabaret.
The hosts, W. O. Foote, M. M. Da
vies and John M. Cooper, were praised
in resolutions.

tains here. The entire trip was made
in ten running days, and Mr. Gookin
states that he did uot once touch the
machine with a wrench.
The party stopped at various points
of interest along the way. Mr. Gook
in says that he found the roads in
the South far superior to the much-
praised Northern roads, and that with
the exception of a short stretch v)f
bad road in Southern Virginia, the
entire trip was almost perfect.
The party was joined at Wilkes-
barre, Pa., by Miss Murray, who w-yi
spend several weeks in Atlanta, the
guest of Mrs. Gookin.

Issue Bills of Execution.
That bills of execution forcing the
payment of the annual tax w’ill he Is
sued against all delinquent corpora

the statement made Tuesday morning
by Comptroller General Wright. More
than 100 of the smaller corporations
throughout the State have failed to
comply with the State law requiring
payment of the tax by September 1.
Although Mr. Wright has issued no
extension, he probably will not draw'
the bills of execution before Septem

will see an accumulation of the in
terest on each tax due.
Figures in the Comptroller Gener

Big Drop in Meat

as that commodity is concerned is

That Georgia’s crack marksmen
will be well up in the shooting when
the great International Rifle Shoot
takes place at San Francisco in 1915
in connection with the Panama-
Pacific Exposition, was predicted
Tuesday morning by Adjutant Gen
eral Van Holt Nash, who returned
with the marksmen Monday night
from Camp Perry, Ohio, where the
National Rifle Tournament was held.
While the Georgians came only
thirty-third in the team race, they
pulled up in fine style, and in the in
dividual matches with some of the
best records made, according to Gen
eral Van Holt Nash.
All told, the Georgia marksmen
brought away something like $1»0 in
cash prizes. Sergeant Wilfred Brown,
of Company C, Fifth Infantry, At
lanta, made the best individual rec
ord on the team.
“We have never had a better time
than at Camp Perry this year,’’ de
clared Adjutant General Nash. “Our
men were in fine trim and aid some
splendid individual shooting. The
bovs also made records in entertain
ing and the 1 ik ^ and without a doubt
the Georgia barbecue which we gave
in honor of General J. A. Drain, of
Washington, D. <\, and others, posi
tively was the best thing pulled off
in the whole camp.”
When asked to express an opinion
on the Mexican war situation, Gen
eral Nash replied that as far as the
rifit men at < amp Perry were con
cerned there were no rumors. It was
scarcely mentioned, he said, during
the whole stay.
Four members the team remain,
ed at Camp Perry for the Interna
tional matches.
