During the week commencing Jan- , nary 26 about 100 salesmen of the i Western Electric Company will hold j their annual convention here. The men will come here from all parts of the South. The convention will meet here through the efforts of the Convention Bureau of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, of which Pred Houser is secretary. That (Georgia women soon will have the right to vote is the belief ex pressed by Mrs. W. L. Shepherd, the attractive Montgomery matron who lent Congressman Heflin the famous expression, “It Is better that a wom an control a voter than vote.’’ and " ho is an ardent antt-suffragist. “1 am opposed to equal suffrage, but I must admit that the energetic man ner in which Georgia women are pushing their demands for the ballot that it won’t be very long until they leceive it." she said Saturday. Mrs. Shepherd is visiting friends in At lanta. • Notoriety is displeasing to me, and I think there has been enough writ ten about me already,” she said. “I don’t think Mr. Heflin should be crit icised for using the words which someone else had spoken 1 rather admire him for using them if he thought there was force in them. Calls Home Woman’s Sphere 1 am opposed to suffrage because I believe a woman wields more influ ence under present conditions than she would by the right to vote. 1 think every man should discuss those questions upon which he will vote with his wife, and I believe that most men do. Women should have a voice in the affairs of the country, but un doubtedly they have a greater per suasive power now than they can hope to have otherwise “The suffragists of Georgia, how ever, appear to me to be making won derful progress. J don’t like to admit that my State is behind in anything, but the Georgia women ’ seem to be pushing their cause with more vigor than the Alabama women, and from what I have seen and heard here, it won’t be long before they have the light to vote. A woman’s place is in the home. No matter whether womeh are ever given the use of the ballot or not. they are going to find that their real power is in the influence they wield In the home Husband Approves Her View. A woman is a woman, after all, and her sphere has been and always will be one of influence, and by the use of ihe ballot 1 think they will cheapen it." ‘Bankers Will Out,’ Judge Tells Convict PONTIAC, MICH., Dec 20,—In sen tencing Ralph E.

The Empty Stocking: fund is larger by a substantial sum Saturday as the result of the dance at Segat^o’s Hall on East Pine street and the an nual play of the Tech Dramatic So ciety at the Grand Theater Friday night. All of the proceeds of the dance went to the fund, and one-fourth of the money taken in at the theater. Exact figures are not yet available, but the Christmas Editor has done enough figuring to be assured that there will be enough money added to the fund through these events to take care of many of Atlanta's poor chil dren. Both events ratnk with the most enjoyable of the season. The Tech boys never have presented a better performance than "The Magistrate, and Atlantans have rarely patronized a Tech show in larger numbers thin tbey did at the Grand Friday night. And the boys had worked hard to gei the people Interested in their show, for they were working for the Utile bovs and girls as well as for the glorv of Tech. And the knowl edge that some of the proceeds of the show would show Santa Claus the way to many Atlanta homes which otherwise would be dark and cheer less Christmas morning, gave their acting a swing and dash that raised the performance high.above* the aver age amateur production. Miss Moseley Directs Dance. And then after the show there was the dance at Segadlo's. under the per sonal direction of Miss Moseley. The affair began at 8:30. and several hun dred people w^ere on the floor before the doors had been open half an hour. The great rush, however, came af ter the show, when scores of parties lhat had seen the Tech performance, and incidentally aided the Empty Stocking fund, came to the dance hall for another hour or two of pleasure. Tl was a fine night for everybody —those w r ho like to dance, those who like a good show, and the children. And now there is just one more thing that the Christmas Editor has planned tor the benefit of the Empty Stocking fund. it's that free concert at the For syth Theater Sunday afternoon, which is going to be one of the most elaborate musical events of the sea- An amalgamation of the musical talent of Atlanta into a carefully ar ranged program promises on this oc casion a veritable feast of entertain ment.
