Mrs, Longstreet Beaten. The State Supreme Court Satur day brushed a-side. almost with seem ing: impatience, the State’s preten tions to title in and to the Tallulah Palls property now held by the Geor gia Railway and Power Company. The verdict rendered in Judge Jones’ court, in Rabun County, in fa vor of the power company, is sweep- inglv affirmed in the Supreme Court, and «t every point the State is turned clown in language picturesque in its terseness. The Supreme Court held that the State long ago vacated in toto all of ts right and title In the Tallulah Falla property involved in this suit, and it disposed of the State's fur ther contention that, even if it did va- • ate its rights originally, such va cated title extended to the banks of I he Tallulah River only. Case “F*»rly Tried." The court held that the title now in the company extends to the middle of the stream, as is customary in non- navigable rivers. The court of review further says that the case was "fairly tried” in the « ourt below and that "no right error detrimental to tlie States rights was committed" in the hearing. This suit was brought by direction of the Legislature, after much pres sure had been brought to bear upon it, and against the advice of Gov ernor Brown. Mrs. Helen Longstreet. widow of (he famous Civil War general, took a leading part in the fight to regain the falls land for the State, and was in the center of the fight in the lower courts. i Denounce* "Tactics." H. H. Dean, of Gainesville, in ihe ourse of his argument for the power < ompany, denounced Mrs. Longstreet and the Tallulah Falls Conservation \ssociation. charging hold-up tactics. The Jury was out only two hours. Attorney General T. S. Felder im mediately gave notice of a motion for n new trial, and lengthy briefs’were submitted to the Supreme Court. The Tallulah Falla power project has but recently been completed and involves an outlay of many millions of dollars. Luther Z. Rosser and Charles T. Hopkins were the leading counsel for the power company. The high court’s decision is believed to end the dispute.

Ur do you get off with eight or ten hours a day? • • • Most of us common mortals, who are of the rank and file, are too j prone to envy "bosses," to fancy j that those at the top have an easy time, to imagine that, because they can come and go as they have a mind, they can take all the leisure they want. Their money, we some times think, can banish all the trou bles flesh is heir to. We see them Jaunting off here and there, and re mark: "What a fine time of it the bosses have.” • • • Now. the more I see of rich men, the closer 1 get to large employers and heads of big corporations, the less in love am I with their lot, and the more I am inclined to reflect that the well-paid worker has fewer worries than those at the top. * • • .Said the manager of an important concern to me: "I am a 24-hour-a- day man. I am at the beck and call of rny business any hour of the day or night. .If anything goes wrong, no matter what the hour. 1 am called on the telephone and have to try to straighten things out. Sometimes when wakened in the night I wish 1 were again an ordinary workman. "When a worker's day is finished he is through. He can go home to his wife arid family and spend a quiet evening with them. "His mind is not seething with business problems. He has not to rack his brain thinking of how to keep ahead of the procession, how to successfully meet the new moves of rivals. "Let me tell you. It is not a bed of roses being the head «>f a big con cern nowadays especially since la bor became so touchy.” • • • This man's business goes on night and day, it should be added. • * * A conversation 1 had some time ago with a young man at a railway station has haunted me ever since, although just why I can*not fathom. There was nothing extraordinary about it. Yet I have repeatedly felt that I simply must record it. And I won’t be happy until l get rid of it! * * • I had visited the beautiful estate of a prominent banker one Satur day, and was waiting for a train. It was a calm, moonlight evening. Everything was so quiet and peace ful- so different from the noisome metropolis. 1 spoke to a country youth I find wisdom of some sort resides in every human being, if only we can extract It, and often suggestions for these articles come from "mute, inglorious Miltons." "What a fine* place Mr. So-and-So has. 1 ventured. "Yes; 1 work there." he replied. "Is he a good boss?" "Fine.” And then he added with great earnestness: "1 wish 1 had his money!” "Do you think you would be very much happier?" 1 ventured. "I hap pen to know Mr. - fairly well. I often see him in his office in the city, and I think he has quite a few worries at times.” * * * He ruminated for a little. * 0 * "Gome to think of it. I suppose he has.” I waited. • * • "And, comp to think of it, i haven't many. My job is easy. I get good pay. I'm off every evening." * * * There was another pause. • • * "Golly, l don't know, since you’ve mentioned it. if 1 would be very much better off if l did have his money. I guess I'm as happy as he is.” * * * And then the train came. • * • Must 1 apologize for inflicting so commonplace a conversation upon you. busy reader? If so, I do. But somehow I feel better for having got It out of my system. It has refused to leave me alone. It has compelled me to relate it • * * May it not bo that a good many of us are in the position of tills country youth? May it not he that we are envious without stopping to analyze just why? If we knew a little more about the lot of the fellow we envy, might we not be less anxious to change places with him? • * • Nearly every position of great re sponsibility is of the 24-liour-a- day variety. Shining success is sel dom attained by an eight-hour day. * • • As for rich loafers, few of us, I hope, are foolish enough to envy them. They are of all men the moat miserable, They can not know the intlnlte. the incomparable joy of creating something, of work well done. Without loll there can be no blissful relaxation or recreation. * • • And so. my fellow’-workers, let us cultivate only a healthy discontent, a desire to succeed rationally and honestly; but not the satanic vices of envy, hate and uncharitableness. They will get us nowhere-- except into a premature and unhonored grave. President Fails to Improve; Stays In WASHINGTON.

A temporary restraining order en joining R. E. Weatherby from dealing in the purchase, selling and handling of rags, waste paper and wood was granted by Judge Pendleton Saturday morning upon the petition of the At lantic Supply Company, and Decem ber 20 was set as the day for the hearing. The petition charges that Weather by was an officer and stockholder in | the Atlantic Supply Company, when he sold out his interest to the other stockholders upon the stipulation that i be would not again enter the same I business in Atlanta. He also resigned his position. Despite this agreement, it is alleg ed that on December 12 he went to K. D. Cole, assistant postmaster, and offered him a much higher price for j the postoffice waste than had pre- ; viously been paid. The high prices, the petitioners say, j will make the waste paper business unprofitable.

Edmondson, the "baby” of the Georgia Legislature, for Congress from the Eleventh Dis trict, has been practically announced here. For several weeks it has been rumored he would make the race, and close personal friends declare that if the situation shapes as now expected he will run. Mr. Edmondson is a prominent young lawyer and Representative from Brooks Count'. While not yet 25 years old. in event of election, he will be the required constitutional age by the time to take the seat in March, 1915. Claws indicating that Samuel A Stoe and his wife, Mrs. Annie Stoe, who are now’ under arrest charge* with having lured Mrs. Annie Bond, a J 7-year-old girl, into the meshes of white slavery*, may be the directing heads of a gang of white slavers whose operations extend to various towns in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina, are being investigated by L. J. Baley, chief of the Southern Divi sion of the Federal Bureau of Inves tigation, following a long conference with Mrs. Bond. The investigation is centering in Atlanta, where the Sloes are sup posed to have brought a 15-year-old Athens girl and placed her in one of the cheap hotels that »cill operate practically wide-open resorts. Al though Mr. Baley refused to commit himself as to his plans for the Inves tigation, it is definitely understood that he contemplates a search of prac tically every hotel of the cheaper class j In the city in quest of the girl, who is said to be under the domination of Stoe and his wife, and turning all her earnings over to them. Made Dazzling Promises. According to the story told Mr. Ba ley by the Bond girl, Mrs. Stoe met the 15-year-old girl In Athens several months ago and, by promises of gor geous gowns and unlimited quanti ties of jewelry. Induced her to run away from home and come to Atlan ta. The woman wrote the girl a let ter. Mrs. Bond said Mrs. Stoe told her. telling her when to come to At lanta and where to stop during the GALVESTON, TEXAS, Dec. 13.—It is raining heavily again to-day in the flood-stricken district, and the flood waters from the Brazos and Colorado Rivers inundated several more towns. Relief trains rushing to the stricken area were halted because of the bad condition of the railroads, and thou sands of refugees encamped on the elevated lands are in danger of star vation, as well as death from expo sure.

Federal agents., in Birmingham and other cities probably will take up the ca.se at that end, and strenuous ef forts will be made to uncover the op erations of the alleged gang. The Stoes have refused to make any state ment. and have declared that the Bond girl took up the life she has now deserted of her own free will. They deny tlpat she was lured into a Whitehall street rooming house and drugged. Deny Existence of Gang. They deny also the existence of any gang, and profess to know nothing of the case of the child in Athens, or the existence of any other victims. "It may be that we are following a blind lead." Mr. Baley said Saturday morning, “but the story told by Mrs Bond has the ring of truth, and w r e propose to make a thorough investi gation, especially of the case of the Athens girl." An interested audience at the Au ditorium-Armory Friday night heard a great concert by Channing Ellery s wonderful band, which was at its ), es t—if that fine organization ever is anything else.
