MEDFORD. MASS., Dee. 15 Dr
Charles \\ Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard University, holds that
unless a remedy is found speedily for
the evils of thej factory system a
terrible phys: -il and moral degen
eracy will result.
“We have come through the period
of immigration pretty safe. ’ said he
“The American republic has the pe
culiar function of lifting up the peo
ple of the Old World.
"But city life and the factory sys
tem. which keeps the Immigrant boy
and girl and man in the cities, is do
ing untold harm lo the newcomers
physically and morally. The factory
system is one of the greatest curses of
civilization in this respect. The mill
industries and city life combine to
promote, propagate and preserve con
ditions that unfavorably affect the
vitality of our modern population.
"If men of public spirit, of fore-
gilt and intelligence do not find the
remedy, I foresee a terrible physical
and moral degeneracy, already visi
ble within the next hundred years,
similar to that, existing in the Eng
lish factory centers to-day. We must
struggle against it.
"The family life and family dis
cipline have greatly changed. When
I was a boy I went to the Boston
Eat in School to prepare for Harvard,
as did many other boys of my time
who intended to go to college. To
day the children of the rich do not.
attend the public schools. They ary
educated in boarding and private
schools.”

Wall, the time for the close of the
contest is drawing near. Remem
ber, no latter* will be considered aft

of the contest
Therefore, if your letter isn't print
ed, don’t feel aggrieved It has just
as much chance as any of securing
one of the gold pieces I offered for
best suggestions. I had hoped to be
able to print every letter received,
but, confidentially, I was not prepared
for the flood of communications
which followed close upon the heels
of the contest announcement. „
Some admirable suggestions have
been made, and I trust they have
been of real benefit to the married
folks who have been worrying over
the present-giving problem this
Christmas, r have enjoyed every one
of the letters.
If you haven't sent In a letter, read
the following:
To the wife who write* the best

his wife. For the husband's letter
that is adjudged the best the writer

bands who write the three next best
letters will receive, each, a $5 gold
piece for their thoroughness.

MARY LEA DA VIS,
Editorial Department, The At
lanta Georgian.
Here are some of the letters which
were received:
FOR A HUSBAND.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the most simple and ap
propriate gift a wife could pre
sent to her husband i* a combina
tion collar, cuff and tie, and collar
and cuff button and tie claap box.
Then he will not have to be run
ning all over the house hunting
them up when needed, and an in
dustrious wife can get up the sim
ple material and make this box at
home. Also in connection with
this box is ail the heartfelt love
and encouragement she can be
stow on him, as it takes this to
make & home happy. Also a
year’s subscription to The Geor
gian. MRS. M M. B.

Western Play at Bijou.
No play that has been produced by
the Jewell Kelley company during
its sixteen weeks of stock engage
ment at the Bijou will prove more
popular than the Western border
melodrama, “The Denver Express,”
which is scheduled for this week at
the popular playhouse The first act
opens up on the snowclad hills of
Colorado with Indians and outlaws.
There is plenty of comedy in the
piece and the plot contains a beauti
ful love story. Many realistic me
chanical effects are used, including
an engine and train of cars.
Emma Bunting Returns.
Monday night will see little Emma
Hunting's engagement opened at the
Lyric. She will appear as Flotsam
in “The Girl From Out Yonder," one
of the most successful of the plays
she has starred in. George Whitaker
will play the part opposite to her. A
splendid production has been ar
ranged nnd the scenery and effects
will be most lealistlc.
Matinees will be Held on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday afternoons
AN OVERCOAT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the best present that
a wife can give her husband is
something to wear that he needs
at Christmas time, at.d every
wife knows what he needs most
of all. For my husband’s Christ
mas present I am going to give
him an overcoat. T. J. U.
Atlanta, Ga.
STOVE OR FURNITURE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I suggest that a very nice and
useful present for a husband
would be a nice suite of furniture
or a. good cook stove, as either one
could well be appreciated and
seen every day the year round.
Either would not be a very ex
pensive gift. H E. H.
Inman, fcS. C,
Seven Big Features at Forsyth.
There are seven wonderfully prom
ising features on the bill at the For
syth for this week. Edwin Stevens,
who for years lias been one of the
most prominent of the legitimate
stars and whose two years in vaude
ville established him as a headliner of
first rank, will present his newest
Idea in a comedy. “The Troubles ot'
R. and J.” Mr. Stevens will be as
sisted in his act by Tina Marshal
who is as clever as any artist in her
line. Florenze Tempest, with her
dancing partner and her own pianist,
will be another of the drawing cards
for the week, and there are other star
features
BUTTS COTTON CROP.
JACKSON, Dec. 15. Butts’ cotton
crop to the first of December is 12,-
970 bales. There will probably be
another thousand bales ginned in the
county this season.
WILL EARN “HIS" GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Christmas is the time of all
times to show, by your gifts to
husband, that you are ever
thoughtful of his wishes and de
sires. Now, 1 intend to earn
by my own efforts the price of
the gift I shall give him, which, I
think, would be more appropriate
than if he had to pay for his own
gift. As my husband is a great
lover of a certain breed of chick
ens and has several nice hens, but
is unfortunate in not having the
male bird that he wants (and I
believe we should let circum
stances guide us in the selection
of gifts). 1 am going to give him
a fine male bird that will be "a
thing of beauty and a joy for
ever." and at the same time It
will be a source of great pleas
ure and profit to him every day
in the year. MRS. B. J.
Atlanta, Ga.
MAKE HER YOUR “PAL.”
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The best present a husband can
present hts wife is to let her
share equally in the joys and sor
rows of her husband. Take her
into his confidence. Never go out
on a pleasure trip nor visit any
place where she can not go. I jet
her be your partner in business:
let her know’ your exact financial
affairs; give her a reasonable

out after a hard day’s work he

A BANK ACCOUNT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The first Christmas after I was
married 1 gave my wife for a
Christmas present a savings ac
count bank book with a $10 de
posit, and, as I was working for a
salary, I asked her to let’s re
member her Christmas present at
least once a month until we get
old or when she is left a widow’,
and now, as it is our greatest as
set, I think she thinks of it and
appreciates It daily
At other Christmases since I
have bought her several little
presents, but I don’t think she
could show you any of them ex
cept the first ofie, which she says
will he her bungalow Christmas
present some day. So I haven’t
decided yet what to give her this
Christmas, but as she is figuring
on the bungalow’, I think I will
Just give her another fence on the
old present. J O. M.

SOMETHING TO SHOW.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the most appropriate
thing to give a husband is a heart
full of love, and get him some
thing within your means, yet
something that he will be proud
of and not ashamed to show’ his
friends or tell them about.

Miss Mary T-ea Davis:
The best Christmas gift for my
husband is a dinner cooked by
my own hands, inviting less for-
tunates to partake of the meal

Atlanta. Ga.
THE “COMRADE HEART.”
Miss Mary T^ea Davis:
Let husband and wives seek
their gifts from The Georgian's
advertising columns and they
“shall not err therein.” The “com
rade heart” is, after all, the great
est gift in the world. C. B.
Talbotton, Ga.

Miss Mary I^ea Davis:

I shall tell him. too. that I ap.

we can both realize the true meam
lng of "Peace on earth, good will to

A MORRIS CHAIR.
My Dear Miss Davis:
T would give my husband a
handsome Morris chair, a good
dinner and a good cigar for bodi
ly refreshment after a day of toil.
If it were possible, I would re
move everything that causes him
unhappiness or suspense: hut,
above all. I would h ve him have
the "best gift”—the love and
peace of God to keep him at all
limes. MRS. WE. D.
Cochran, Oa.
A SET OF FURS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis
A husband should ask his w ife
to name over the things she
wishes Christmas. He can then
give her the one he can afford. I
gave my wife a sectional book
case last Christmas, as she had
been wanting one a long time.
This Christmas I am going to
give her a set of furs that she
longs for. G. W. J.

coupons. MRS. S. F.

A KITCHEN CABINET.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I have made my wife 8 nlo%

useful present I could give her for
a poor man. I had $2 for material
and $1 for paint and 60 cents f„ r

AN OVERCOAT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most useful present for a
wife to give her husband is
something he really needs, be it
small or great. She should make
or save the money herself and
give according to her means. One
Christmas I gave a tie and some
handkerchiefs. This Christmas I
am going to give an overcoat.
MRS. G. W. J-
