Editor Georgian: Dear Sir : I am one of hundreds in Atlanta who wish to aid the Empty Stocking Fund your paper has so generously started. Like hundreds of others I have been deterred from sub scribing because my income is so limited that 1 can not be among those leaders who have already assured a happy \ule- tide for scores of little Atlantans. But I have a scheme. It is not original. Neither was the idea of airships born in the brain of Wilbur Wright, nor did Marconi perfect the wireless until many men had died dis appointed in an endeavor to do what the Italian genius ac complished. Here’s the scheme: I want to organize a “Good Fellow’s Club’’ to boost the Empty Stocking Fund. The name tells the class of men I want to appeal to. I’ll be explicit. I want to call on that class of wage earners— good wage earners—who live in furinshed apartments or boarding houses, who have no Atlanta home ties, but who would love to have some part in the joy of an Atlanta home though no public credit will be given them. I am appealing to the class of men who spend anywhere from $1 to $5 a day in* beer saloons and locker clubs. I do not believe that they are doing any wrong when they do so. They have to find the congeniality in those places that the person with home ties find at home. But I want every one of these “good fellows’’ to lay off the stuff a dollar’s worth and send that dollar to the Empty Stocking Fund. _ They will not miss the dollar, but Christmas Day when the deserving children of Atlanta find that Santa Claus has not forgotten them, the men who have made this little self- denial will feel a thrill that was never inspired by Christmas eggnog. Here’s my dollar. j Now lets‘all be GOOD FELLOWS. A GOOD FELLOW. Arsonettes Renew Revenge for Leader Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
