quisli this facility to private enter
prise. The monopolistic nature of the
telegraph business makes it of vital
importance to the people that it be
conducted by unselfish interests, and
this can be accomplished only
through Government ownership.
Original Policy of Nation.
“The act of July 24. 1866. providing
for the Government acquisition of the
telegraph lines upon pavment of an
appraised valuation, anu the act of
1902 directing the Postmaster Gen
eral ‘to report to Congress the prob
able cost of connecting a telegraph
and telephone system with the postal
service by some feasible plan.' are
evidences of the policy of this Gov
ernment ultimately to acquire and
operate these electrical means of
communication as postal facilities, as
is done by all the principal nations, j
the United States alone excepted.
“The successful operation of the
parcel post has demonstrated the
capacity of the Government to con- j
duct the public utilities which fall
properly within the postal provision
i»f the Constitution.
Includes Telephones, Too.
“Every argument in favor of the !
Government ownership of telegraph
lines may be advanced with equal
logic and force in favor of the Gov- j
eminent ownership of telephone lines, j
It has been competently decided that)
a telephone message and a telegram
are the same within the meaning of
the laws governing the telegraph ser-
vice and therefore it is believed that ,
the statute enabling the Government j
to acquire, upon payment of an ap
praised valuation, the telegraph lines
of the country will enable the Gov- ;
unment to acquire the telephonic
network of the country.
“Parcel post reaches everywhere j
tvhereas private expresses extend
.heir operations only to profitable ter- j
ritory,” says th** report. “Twenty- i
millions of rural residents now have I
«touse-to-house delivery and oolite- j
tions of parcels, a service formerly to j
be had only in cities and towns '
Telegraph Line* Useless.
Representative Lewis, of Maryland, ,
who has devoted months to the study j
of the Government ownership of wire |
lines, is not committed fully to the j
plan advanced by Burleson. The
Postmaster General believes the Gov
ernment should operate both the tele
phone and telegraph lines. The Lewis
bill contemplates taking over th©
telephone wires only.
“We do not need the telegraph sys
tem,'' said Mr. Lewis to-day. “The
Government may acquire and use the
wires both to send telephone and
telegraph messages. It is being don©
now *
Mr. Lewis estimates that the tele
phone systems of the country, in-
rluding the Hell and independent
lines, may be purchased for $900,000.-
000. The acquisition of the telegraph
would cost at least $200,000,000 addi
tional.
“The committee has not yet con
sidered the legislative features of Its
annual bill,” said Chairman Moon, of
the Pub turtles Committee of the
House
Administration Bill Coming.
“The recommendations of the Post
master General are yet to be digested
by the committee, but the govern
ment ownership of telephone and
telegraph lines is such a big problem
that a party caucus probably will be
held before uYiy definite action is
taken.”

the sheriffs, and the trip was made by
a circuitous route to avoid them. Ac
cording to stories the Augusta deputy
sheriffs told the authorities at the
Tower, the negroes reiterated their
confession of the murder during the
ride.
The murder of Mrs. Irby was most
brutal. The woman was found by her
husband lying on the floor in their
home, with her head cut «>fY and
mashed with rocks, and her little chil
dren cowering under tlie bed. Blood
hounds were put on the trail, and the
dogs led the officers to the cabins >f
the Hart brothers and Puschall. The
blacks were arrested and taken to
Waynesboro, Burke County, to escape
a mob which quickly formed in
Wrens, and the militia was called out
to protect the negroes.
Mobs of greater proportions began
to form in Waynesboro, and in order
to avoid bloodshed Governor Slaton
ordered the negroes sent to Augusta.
Humors of mobs in Augusta caused
Governor Slaton to decide to bring
the negroes to Atlanta and place them
in the Tower.
Devotees of Waltz Should Learn
Simple Steps of This New
Dance Easily.
Her© is th® first dancing lesson '
for Georgian readers by Miss
Donna Bain, beautiful instructor
of Atlanta society and brilliant
expert in all the latest steps.
By MISS DONNA BAIN.
The popularity which the hesitation
waltz has recently achieved In Amer
ican dancing circles is an indication
that the old-time glide waltz, so pop
ular in the days of our forefathers, is
coining back into favor, for the hesi
tation retains many of the beauties
of the glide with distinctive varia
tions that give it what might be
termed individuality.
And. incidentally, it is to be great
ly hoped that the favor with which
the return of the glide waltz, even
in a modified form, is being greeted,
will means the extermination of those
dancing abominations called turkey
trot and the bear and all the other
freak dances that require exagger
ated. unnecessary and foolish move
ments of the shoulders and the body
to give them a thrill and carry them
to success.
Full of Grace and Beauty.
There was never a dance, perhaps,
so filled with natural grace and
beauty as the glide waltz, and you
will still find that the majority of the
dancers, though they bow to the dic
tates of fashion and dance the new
dances, still have a tender spot in
their hearts for the glide waltz and
dance it at every opportunity. And
for these the hesitation is a suitable
and satisfactory substitute. It is a
combination of the Boston and the
old glide waltz, combined in Just the
right proportion to suit devotees of
both dances The Boston steps give
it vim and go. while there is retained
enough >f the glide waltz to pre
vent ilie dance from being awkward.
and to give it a sort of bewildering
beauty that neither the Boston nor
the glide waltz alone has.
The hesitation is not hard to dance,
and to learn It one does not have to
have any special fund of natural
grace, although the more graceful the
beginner is the quicker will she learn.
Grace is an inherent quality of the
dance, and any recognized dance,
danced well, is graceful. The aver
age person, even with no knowledge
of dancing, should learn the hesita
tion waltz in a few’ lessons, and for
a good waltzer the task should be
even easier.
Instructions for dancing the hesi
tation waltz could be spun out in al
most an endless thread, but I think
the following will suffice to give any
one an idea of how to dance it.
Here Are the Steps.
In the hesitation waltz the girl
should start on the right foot, and
balance back on the left, taking four
Boston walk steps forward; waltz
back on the left ami hesitate on the
right; starting on the left foot, take
four Boston steps, reversing to left
and hesitating on the left; repeat,
starting on the right foot.
Another step in the hesitation waltz
is made !>v waltzing on the left foot,
alternating forward and back, and
hesitating on the right foot between
the Waltz steps. There are numerous
others that come with practice and
that should not be attempted until
the principles of the dance have been
well grounded.
And in dancing, remember that the
more you try to be graceful, the more
graceful you probably will be. And
above all do not shrug your shoulders
or wiggle your body. There are some
dances, notable interpretive and clas
sical dances, that require certain
movements of the arms, shoulders
and the body to convey the full mean
ing of the dance—but in the modern
ballroom dance such movements are
out of place and ungraceful.

ANDERSON & SHROPSHIRE, of Atlanta
Now Prominently Connected With
THE C0SA10P0UTAN
It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of Ander
son A* Shropshire (Mareellus At. Anderson and A. J. Shropshire, Jr.),
of Atlanta, as managers for THE COSMOPOLITAN for territory em
bracing about forty counties north of Fulton, and some few south, with
exclusive control, except counties of Pulton and DeKalb.
Both of these gentlemen are highly respected citizens of Atlanta,
and by their courteous and just treatment of agents they have built up
a very strong agency force of an unusually fine type of men.
The reasons which induced Messrs. Anderson & Shropshire to be
come associated with THE COSMOPOLITAN are worthy of note.
First, Mr. Anderson and Air. Shropshire are loyal Georgians, and feel
that they are performing a duty to their State in assisting to build up
a Great Home Institution, which is destined to accomplish an immense
amount of good in developing the resources of our State as well r A the
South at large. In the second place, these gentlemen have made the
connection after weeks of deliberation and tiie closest investigation of
the financial condition of THE COSMOPOLITAN: the character of of
ficers and directors of the Company, and the economical and conserv
ative business policy to be pursued. Their investigation has disclosed
the fact that not one penny has been paid for the sale of the Company's
stock, and no rebate or concession given to any subscriber, all buying
their stock on the same basis. They have found that the members of
the Finance and Executive Committees of the Company are enthusias
tic and ready to co-operate in making THE COSMOPOLITAN a
great Southern Life Insurance Company. Furthermore, they have
carefully inspected the forms of policies issued by the Company, and
found them sound actuarially, and at the same time very attractive to
insurers.
I beg to state that THE COSMOPOLITAN is the only company
organized under the new and rigid insurance laws of Georgia, and the
organization was perfected under the direct supervision of Hon. Win.
A. Wright, Insurance Commissioner, and Air. John A. Copeland. Dep
uty Insurance Comissioner. Thoy are familiar with every detail, and
have given the Company their highest indorsement, as shown by the
following statement of General Wright:
OFFICE INSURANCE COALMISSIONER,
STATE OF GEORGIA:
Atlanta, March 1,1913.
Dr. At. M. Riley, Chairman, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir—1 desire to say that your Committee is to be con
gratulated upon having secured the consent of Air. J. C. Wynn to
accept the Presidency of the reorganized Cosmopolitan Life In
surance Company. I have known Air. Wynn officially and per
sonally for nearly thirty years, and am familiar with his career as
a Southern insurance manager. He is a man of unquestioned in
tegrity, universally recognized as an insurance man of the very
highest qualifications, and an eminently successful financier, as at
tested by the success of all enterprises with which he has been con
nected. I am satisfied from the conversation I have had with Air.
Wynn in regard to this matter that he has been finally induced to
accept the Presidency of this Company entirely from * patriotic
motives. His official connection with the company will draw
about him the co-operation of the leading business men of this and
other cities of the State, and, in my judgment, when it becomes
generally known that he is connected with the Company, the
stock, old as well as new, will, within a very short while, material
ly advance in value. I am satisfied that no more advantageous se
lection of a man for the Presidency of the Company could have
been miade, and feel that this selection assures the future success
of the Companv. Yours verv truly,
(Signed) AVAL A. WRIGHT,
Insurance Commissioner.
I desire to call attention to the fact that “THE COSMOPOLI
TAN” LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, which was organized on
April o, 1913, has no connection whatever with “Cosmopolitan” Life
Insurance Company, which failed in December, 1912. The new com
pany, by purchase from the Insurance Department, acquired the as
sets of the old company, paid the claims authorized by the courts, put
in new money and new officers, and intend always to pursue conserv
ative and safe business methods.
I confidently believe that the citizens of Georgia will appreciate
our efforts to make a Great Home Company, and will give us a liberal
share of their business. The Company merits the fullest confidence,
and invites the closest investigation.
J AM ES C. WYNN,
President.
