Original Policy of Nation. “The art of July 24. 1*66. providing for the Government acquisition of the telegraph lines upon pavment of an appraised valuation, and 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, the United States alone excepted. "The auocessful operation of the parcel post has demonstrated the capacity of the Government to con duct the public utilities which fall properly within the postal provision Of tho 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 ernment ownership of telephone lines It has been competently decided that a telephone njeesage 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 to acquire, upon payment of an ap praised valuation, the telegraph lines of the oountry will enable the Gov ernment to acquire the telephonic network of the country. “Parcel post reaches everywhere , whereas private expresses extend their operations only to profitable ter ritory.” says the report. “Twenty I millions of rural residents now have j house-to-house delivery and collec tions of parcels, a service formerly to be had only in cities and towns." Telegraph Lines Useless. Representative Lewis, of Maryland, who has devoted months to the study of the Government ownership of wire lines, is not committed fully to the plan advanced by Burleson. The Postmaster General believes the Gov ertim»*nt should operate both the tele p.’ioiif and telegraph lines The Lewis . ■templates taking over the telephone wires only. "We do not need the telegraph sys tem, said Mr. Lewis to-day. “The >v t nment may io quire and use the res both to semi telephone ami ’-h-^raph messages. It is being done now." Mr. Lewis estimates that the tele phone systems of the country. In- i ‘hiding the Bell and independent lines, may be purchased for $1>00.000, 000. The aequisition of the telegraph would cost at least $200,000,000 addl- i tional. "The committee has not yet con sldered the legislative features of its annual bill," said Chairman Moon, of the Postofflce Committee of the House Administration Bill Coming. “The recommendations of tne 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 any definite action is taken ” W J BELL SERIOUSLY ILL. \Y.

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. Rumors 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. Here is tho 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 tho hesitation wait/, 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 coming hack 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 of the glide waltz to pre vent Lie 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 ^ood 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 and 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 by 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. Anu 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 w iggle 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.

Powefl, ANDERSON & SHROPSHIRE, of Atlanta Now Prominently Connected With THE COSMOPOLITAN Tt gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of Ander son & Shropshire (Mareellus M. Anderson and A. -T. Shropshire, -Tr.), 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 Fulton 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 Mr. 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 as the South at large. In the second place, these gentlemen have made the connection after weeks of deliberation and the closest investigation of the financial condition of THE COSMOPOLITAN: the character of of ficers and directors of tire Company, and the economical and conserv ative business policy to be pursued. Their investigation has disclosed t lie 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 oil 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 aotuariallv, and at the same time very attractive to insurers. 1 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. Wm. A. Wright, Insurance Commissioner, and Mr. John A. Copeland, Dep uty Insurance Comissioner. They are familiar with every detail, and have given the Company their highest indorsement, as shown hv the following statement of General Wright: OFFICE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER, STATE OF GEORGIA: Atlanta, March 1, 1913. Dr. M. M. Riley, Chairman, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir—I desire to say that your Committee is to he con gratulated upon having secured the consent of Air. J. O. Wynn to accept the Presidency of the reorganized Cosmopolitan Life In surance Company. I have known Air. AVynn officially and per sonally for nearly thirty years, and am familiar with his carper 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 T 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. T am satisfied that no more advantageous se lection of a man for the Presidency of the Company could have been made, and feel that this selection assures the future success of the Company. Yours very trulv, (Signed) WAI. A. AVRIGHT, Insurance Commissioner. I desire to call attention to the fact that “THE COSMOPOLI TAN ’ LIFE IXSI RANCE CO AIP ANY. which was organized on April 5, 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 intends al waysot pursue conserv ative and safe business methods. I confidently believe tluit the citizens of Georgia will appreciate oui to make & GreatJSomsGompany, .• i11<l will give us a liberal share of their business. I he < ompany merits the fullest confidence, and invites the closest investigation. ■I A AILS O. WYNN, President.
