flvn the ecstatic tango sound*
f r om the instruments of the
p _ nir , • Hotel’s girl orchestra Mon-
afternoon, the strains will bear
a significance.
N - nU , it would be hard to convince
-rot- many serious-minded per-
, i here is any significance to
n , M music at any time. It is one
necessary evils, say they
let there be no quarrel at this
tlmP Remember that Monday af
ternoon c Tango Tea at the Piedmont
.stands for something, being a
^ ne fit for the Empty Stocking Fund
n f The tieorgian and Sunday Ameri
can.
It really stands, then, for Christmas
chanty and for an appeal to the
hearts and purses of fortunate people
w b Christmases are always hap-
P \ It will be a bright, gay, happy
, r ra in. forecasting in a way, it is
ho pH, the brightness and the hap
ping that it will help bring into the
ves of boys and girls and tired wo
men who would have no Christmas
a i l if it were not for Atlanta’s
bounty.
Admission to this affair will be SI.
That entitles one to the dancing floor
throughout the afternoon. However,
t ‘s a Tango Tea, you know, and one
mus ! not overlook the latter feature.
A small charge will be made for the
ea to all who care for a cup.
Very naturally, any enterprise to
elp swell the Empty Stocking Fund
•his year should be a bright and gay
• hing, because Atlanta Is giving in
a big-hearted, generous, unreserved
manner.
Hearts Nearer Surface.
Somehow, hearts seem nearer the
surface this year than ever before,
and the giving is 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 that prompted a certain
letter to the Christmas Editor the
other day.
It bore a five-dollar bill. The mon-
ey was pinned to a single sheet of
paper, on which a few word* were
written. There was a story in those
words, a big story, and the Christ
mas Editor, reading them, under
stood.
In memory of a little boy,” were
the words. “I wish I could make it
five hundred.”
Tenderness had prompted that let-
'er and that gift. The giver no doubt
■C ihat the boys and girls whom
the money would help were very near
and dear to him. He visualized all
boys and girls, their dreams and
hopes and desires and ideals, in the
imago of one little boy who had gone.
And so every one of you has in
your mind’s eye at least one little
boy 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
love all of childhood through your
love for this one child.
It ought to be easy, then, for you
to see the need that lies behind the
appeal the Christmas Editor is mak
ing to you. It ought to be easy for
you to give toward the cause of the
Empty Stocking. It ought to be a
glad and loving duty.
Because your boy or your girl might
n*v* been among those who will wake
up to the tragedy of an empty stock-
ln & and a gloomy Christmas. And
Society to Tango

disappointment of a gloomy Christ
mas. That you know.
But why all this sermonizing? At
lanta knows all this as well as does
the Christmas Editor. Maybe Atlan
ta resents his proclaiming these
things so loudly. But he can not help
being sincere and earnest about this
thing. Nobody could. Girls and
women come with a glad smile on
their faces to get some of the Christ
mas dolls that they may take home
and dress for the poor children s

MEXICO CITY. Dec. 1.—General
Huerta caused widespread excitement
to-day by “disappearing” again as he
did recently. He was found by
friends, however, several hours after
the foreign embassies had been stirred
by the news that he was missing.
The first news that Huerta was
missing was followed by conflicting
rumors. One of these «a1d that he
had not been at Ohapultepec Castle
at all during the night, but had fled
from Mexico City secretly yesterday
on a train for Vera Cruz.
Train Blown Up.
A train on the Central Railway has
been blown up by Zapatistas near San
Vicente. Thirty persons were killed
and all those who escaped were shot
to death by' the rebels.
ConstitutlQU&ligtf now hold all of
Mexico as far south as the city of
Zacatecas. That city is still held by
the Federals, but its fall Is Imminent,
as the rebels are working around to
cut off the railroad from the south.
While General Huerta Intends to
cling to the Presidency as long as
possible, the Mexican Government is
taking no chances on forcing Inter
vention in this country by the United
States.
Orders Lsgislators Released.
This was shown to-day when a
semi-official announcement was made
that acquittal is likely to be ordered
for all of the members of Congress
who were recently arrested. Huerta
Is afraid of finding these members
guilty of sedition and sentencing
them to death, which would result In
prompt action by the American Gov
ernment.
Foreigners in Mexico are deeply in
terested in the visit which Admiral
t'raddock, of the British navy, was to
make to General Huerta this after
noon. He will he accompanied to
the national palace by Sir Lionel Car
den. the British Minister.

Tax Reform Sought
By Savannah Mayor
SAVANNAH, bee. 1 Mayor R J.
Pavant made the startling statement
to-day that Savannah's revenues were
hardly enough to conduct one of the
public work departments properly for
one year and that a sweeping revision
of taxation Is necessary for the next
year.
The Mayor advocates the English sys
tem whereby the amount to he paid is
figured on the actual income from the
property, except 1n the business district,
where all property is equally taxed at
a certain sum a front foot.
Preacher Declares
Waycross Just as
Bad as—You Know
WAYCROSS, Dec. 1.—That Way-
croM was the worst place this side
of hell in certain respects was the
statement made by Dr. W. P. Price,
at the First Baptist Church las*
night in one of the most sensational
sermons ever heard in Waycross.
He discussed the present political
campaign, and warned' voters that if
a certain candidate was elected
Mayor. Waycross would be 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
ed that women members of church
choirs were leading lives they would
not have their husbands know about
Citizens are highly indignant over
the minister's statements, and ne
may be called upon to retract.
