IS DID TO
W r-ti the ecstatic tango sounds
forth from the instruments of the
piedmont Hotel’s girl orchestra Mon-
afternoon, the strains will bear
a significance.
N - 0W t would be hard to convince
a prent many serious-minded per
sons that there is any significance to
ango music at any time. It is one
0 f : ;,p necessary evils, say they
piously.
put let there be no quarrel at this
., me Remember that Monday af
ternoon's Tango Tea at the Piedmont
re a!!v = f ands for something, being a
benefit for the Rmpty Stocking Fund
of The Georgian and Sunday Ameri
can.
It r eai!' stands, then, for Christmas
■harity and for an appeal to the
heart? and purses of fortunate people
whose rhristmases are always hap-
pv. It will be a bright, gay, happy
occasion, forecasting in a way, it is
hoped. *he brightness and the hap
piness that it will help bring into the
lives of hoys and girls and tired wo
men who would have no Christmas
at a ' if it were not for Atlanta’s
bounty.
Admission to this affair will be $1.
That entitles one to the dancing floor
• r ugh out the afternoon. However,
it -c a Tango Tea, you know, and one
must not overlook the latter feature.
A small charge will he made for the
tea to ail who care for a cup.
Very naturally, any enterprise to
help swell The Rmpty Stocking Fund
this year should bp a bright and gay
thing, because Atlanta is giving in
a big-hearted, generous, unreserved
manner.
Hearia Nearer Surface.
Somehow, hearts seem nearer the
surface this year than ever before,
and the giving 1s general and ready.
There must be something in the very’
atmosphere of this Christmas time
that awakens a poignant sympathy
and understanding.
Just like the sympathy and under
standing f hat prompted a certain
etter to the Christmas Editor the
other day.
It bore a flve-dollar bill. The mon-
ey was pinned to a single sheet of
paper, on which a few words were
written. There was a story in those
word*, a big story, and the Christ
mas Editor, reading them, under
stood.
"In memory of a little boy,” were
the words. ”T wish I could make it
five hundred.”
Tenderness had prompted that let-
“r and that fift. The giver no doubt
felt that the boys and girls whom
the money would help were very near
and dear to him. He visualized all
boy? and girls, their dreams and
hopes and desires and ideals, in the
mage of one little boy Avho had gone.
And so every one of you ha9 n
your mind's eye at least one little
hoy or girl, one with baby hands
probably, or one who is larger and
given to romping and yelling and
torn trousers. Every one of you can
Jove ail of childhood through your
love for this one child.
It ought to be easy. then, for you
to the need that lies behind th°
appeal the Christmas Editor is mak-
n 8 to you. Ir ought to he easy for
you to give toward the cause of the
Rmpty Stocking. It ought to be a
glad and loving duty.
Recause your boy or your girl might
nave been among those who will wake
up to the tragedy of an empty stock
ing and a gloomy Christmas. And

Saves State Fortune

sects and disease in Georgia has saved
millions of dollars in this State, ac

steadily grown worse with Improved ag
griculture and i! Is the duty of the
.State to assist in minimizing the power

cross was the worst place this side

statement made by Dr. W P. Price,

sermons ever heard in Waycross.
He discussed the present political
campaign, and warned voters that if
a certain candidate was elected
Mayor. Waycross would he opened
up. He asked union men why they
wanted soft drinks on Sunday when
they favored an eight-hour day and
rest on the Sabbath.
At a meeting for men only In the
city Y. M. C. A.. Dr. Price, insinuat
