Special Cable to Thr Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO * *ITY, Dec. 20.—That Gov
ernment troops are being worsted in
a secon.l battle at Tampico is indi
cated by reports received here to-day
The War Department admits that the
tebels have captured the outskirts of
the city.
Only fragmentary reports of the
fighting have been received here, bu*
these show that the rebel troops led
by Genera) Aguilar and General Blan-
co, number 8,000 men, reinforce

Victoria. The Federals have about
5.000 men.
Despit" the news of reverses in the
early fighting. General Blanquet as
serted this morning that the Federal
gunboats would be able to prevent the
capture of the port.
Americans and other foreigners in
the capital are becoming more anx

To-day, however, that the Zapatistas
would be unable to win their way to
the capital.
General Huerta is leaving nolhinR
undone to preserve amicable relations
with the I'nited States. By his or
ders three Americans who had been
held on flimsy charges were released
to-day. This action was taken after

made a personal appeal to the Pro

Replying to the request of the
American official. General Huerta
said: “You tell me these are cases
of persecution. I won’t have such

He then issued orders to have the
three men sent to th" American em

What
ordinary soaps
do to the skin
O RDINARY toilet soap makes
your akin look w hite and clean
to the naked eye—but look at it
through a magnifying glass. You
will find that the “free” alkali,
which ordinary ,oap contains, has
roughened, irritated and parched
your akin; and this may in tiir.o
cause blotches, pimples, black
heads and other skin troubles.
Resinol Soap
cleans, soothes and
protects the skin
You need a aoap which not only
cleana your skin, but also soothes,
heals and protects it—that is
why you should get a cake of
Resinol Soap from your druggist.
This pure and delightful toilet soap
contains the same medication as
Resinol Ointment, the standard
prescription for skin troubles. It
therefore affords an antiseptic
protect ion to the skin, which merely
pure soap does not do. Resinol
Soap keeps the skin in a clean,
healthy condition and insures a
clear, natural complexion.

bands who write thr three next best
letters will receive, each, u $5 gold
piece.
Here are the “best” letters
HE SHOULD BE HAPPY.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
A most appropriate gift for a
wife to give her husband would
be a picture of herself nicely
framed for him to keep on his
desk or to take with him when
he has to leave home. If she will
present this to him with her
sweetest smile, and endeavor to
show him in every way that he
has the love and devotion of the
original, he should be a happy
man, especially if he is in love
with his wife, as all men should
be.
LIFE INSURANCE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
\ life inaurai.ee policy appeals
to mo ns n very appropriate
Christmas present for a man t<>
give his wife, for it is not only a
constant reminder of the giver,
but shows forethought, and is
also n source of satisfaction to the
giver to know' that the one best
loved by him is protected even
after his death. I think my wife
will appreciate this more than
anything else I could give her.
USEFUL ARTICLE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
At present we ar. struggling to
pay for a home and take car** of
three little ones that must al
ways be remembered at Chris*-
mas; so neither of us will be abto
to buy a present for the other.
But I shall make my husband one
of the many useful articles so
much appreciated by the majority
of men a laundry bag with an
opening large nough for him to
drop his soiled articles into in a
second. He will appreciate it, I
know from past experience.
REAL SENTIMENT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Eighteen years ago I married
a farmer's rosy-cheeked daughter.
I brought her to the city to live,
but she never seemed to like it
here. She had been used to an
outdoor life. Visits to her old
home brought the color back to
her cheek* and happiness to her
heart. This Christmas I am go
ing to give her a deed to a 165-
scre farm which I purchased last
September and which I will stock
with cows, chickens, ducks and
pigeons the things I know she
loves. Then we’ll nil move back
to the country, and I pray that
the roses will* bloom again and
for all time in her dimpled cheeks!
THE RING SHE WANTS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The wedding ring that I placed
on my bride’s finger fifteen years
ago this month is too small for
her now. She was obliged to put
it away two months ago because
it was too tight for comfort. She
prized the ring highly because of
tlie sentiment attached to it, and,
although she didn’t say much
about it, I know that she misses
It sadly, for several timesl have
noticed her looking at the ring
less finger in an absent-minded
way. For a Ghristmaa present I
am going to give her another
ring as near Ilk» it as possible,
with the same motto engraved in
side. I know she will be pleased.
HER PHOTOGRAPH.
M ,v *m Mary Lea Davis:
1 shall give my husband a dain
tily framed picture of mvaelf. Per
haps to many that would se»*m ex
travagance touched with vanity,
since we have only a very mod
est income. But I have saved the
amount necessary for the gift
from my allowance during the
year by practicing bits of self-
denial ho small i can hardly re
call them. ♦Mv husband is blessed
with an appreciative nature, so
any gift I chose would be happi
ly- received. But 1 am giving him
my picture oecause it is the per
sonal note in a man’s married life
as well as in his benedictine days
that appeals to his best nature;
for, after all, the usefulness of i
gift must be judged by the heart
chord it strikes.
VERY PRACTICAL.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most suitable gift a hus
band can give his wife is one that
she ran enjoy in after years .is
well as now. 1 think a life insur
ance policy f«»r as much as one
can carry would be the most ap
preciated of all. Then s c can
say, “He lived and died for those
he loved.”
A REMINDER.'
Miss Marv Lea Da via:
In naming rny choice of a gift.
T have tried io select something
that would be acceptable to all
men as well as being within the
means of all wives. A dainty pho
tograph of herself for his office,
set in a frame in keeping with
her own individual finances,
would, to me. be the most appre
ciated and tenderly sentimental
gift a wife could bestow—useful,
too. because in moments of dis
couragement and perhaps tempta
tion it would be a spur to better
effort and a constant reminder
of her love and trust.

Do Xmas Mailing
Now, Final Hint
Of Postmaster
This is the “Iasi call” for the post
ing of Christinas packages at the At
lanta postofflee.
Bolling H. Jones, postmaster,
doesn’t mean that no more Christmas
mail will be, received for transmis
sion, which would be a highly impo
litic and even “unconstitutional” at
titude to assume.
"But if Atlanta people want to be
suri* that their packages are handled
out of the city with promptness and
i are. they slum Id mail them Satur
day,'' Mr. Jones said. “Already the
railroads are simply swamped with
the flood of packages. There is mail
lying in the various depots now that
has been there 24 hours. We are able
to get the stuff out of this office, all
right. 1 never have seen a bunch of
workers like these hoys. But the rail
roads simply can’t ahndle it promptly,
and that's all there is to it.”
Mr. Jones added that parcels post
ed as late as Monday couldn’t be ex
pected to reach a destination of any
considerable distance before Friday or
Saturday of next week.
Owls Give to Poor

Leaders at Banquet Praise the
Currency Measure and Pre
dict Prosperous Era.
Atlanta bankers were feeling opti
mistic Saturday over the passage of
the currency bill by the Senate, with
the good prospect of its adoption by
the House as amended by the Sen
ate. Without exception, they declare
the business outlook to be the bright
est that America has ever known.
They expect Atlanta to land a re
serve bank.
Favorable expressions were heard at
the bankers and brokers’ banquet al
the Capital City Club Friday nignt.
Even if the adoption of the bill
served to do notning else, the opin
ion was freely expressed that dis
turbed financial conditions would be
settled by it, and readjustment of
money affairs generally would follow.
The speakers were the presidents
of Atlanta’s banks. They saw the es
tablishment of regional reserve banks
in the near future, with Atlanta as a
favored place for one of the banks.
Robert F. Maddox, vice president, and
\V. L. Peel, president of the Ameri
can National Bank; Captain James
W. English, president of the Fourth
National Bank; A. P. Coles, vice pres
ident of the Central Bank and Trust
Corporation; Charles K. Currier, pres
ident of the Atlanta National Rank,
and Frank Hawkins, president of the
Third National Bank, were the local
speakers. A. C. Heinz, president of
the Bankers’ Cluo, was toastmaster.
Prominent Visitor* Present.
Among the out-of-town bankers
were H. S. Haas, of the First Na
tional Bank of Philadelphia; Maxwell
Bechew, of the Equitable Mortgage
and Trust Company, of Baltimore; H.
S. Russell, of the Fourth National
Bank of New York, and C. J. Hood, oi
the Northeastern Banking Company,
of (’ommerce, Ga.
“The currency bill as apnended by
the Senate is a good bill, and I hope
to see it pass the House,” said Mr.
Maduox. "The success of the bill, \*
it is adopted by Congress, depends
entirely upon the confidence shown
in it by the national banks and their
willingness to subscribe to the reserve
hank At any rate, the effect will be
to settle things for a while and give
the financial affairs of the country a
chance for readjustment.”
Captain English declared there
would bo no doubt about Atlanta ob
taining th* regional bank if all of the
hankers got together and pulled for
it.
Reserve Bank for Atlanta.
“I think the sooner the House pusses
the amended measure th* better off
we shall be,” he said. “We will then
at least know where we stand, and
can adjust ourselves to conditions. 1
believe that a regional reserve bank
for Atlanta will be almost a necessity,
and we should not have much diffi-
culty in getting it if we all pull to
gether.”
That there would be a decided set
tling oC disturbed financial conditions
with tiio adoption of the bill by the
House was tlie opinion expressed by
Mr. Hawkins.
“The agitation which hns prevailed
during the agitation of the question
will now be relieved, and the business
men will be able to tell w here they
stand,” he declared. “I hope the
measure will repass the House quick
ly and become a law.”

, Jr JAMES B. KEVIN
NEAR BALLOT.
Former Governor Joseph M. Brown
had little faith in the substance of
the State’s claims to the Tallulah
Falls property now he’d by the Geor
gia Railway and Power Company, and
strongly advised against the suit re
cently settled in the power company ?
favor by the Supreme Court.
The then Governor believed sin
cerely that the State had not even the
shadow of a claim to the property
involved, and that the State had no
substantial right to embarrass the
present holders of the property by
proceeding against them.
When he saw, however, that a de
termined effort would be made to
keep alive indefinitely the fight un
less it was passed ui>on by the courts
he t greed to the Legislative resolu
tion making possible the suit, and in
structed the Attorney General to go
ahead.
The House Committee on the Judi
ciary also had little faith in the
State’s claim, but took the view* that
the matter might ss well be cleared
up for all time, and reported the res
olution, therefore, favorably. The re
sult of the suit, however, was not
much of a surprise to the State.
There is no doubt whatever that
this suit cost Mrs. Helen Longstreet,
its inspiration, a pretty penny—it cos*
her her job as postmaster at Gaines
ville, for one thing
She made a brave, if bitter, fight,
for the establishing of the view of the
question she entertained, and al
though she went down in defeat, she
went down in no sort of dishonor.
She simply had no real case—as the
decision of the Supreme Court abun
dantly shows.
The power company never doubted
the outcome of the suit, for it never
stopped a day’s work because of it.
and its securities suffered little in
consequence of the -State’s proceeding.
The death of President Thomas, of
the Nashville. Chattanooga and S-..
Louis Railroad, likely will cause some
delay in the work of the Georgia leg
islative committee having in hand the
matter of advising the General As
sembly with respect to the re-leasing
of the roa»i. The committee was
working with that gentleman to an
extent, and until his successor is
installed that end of the work, at least,
will have to rest.

looks as if it is a pretty good bet to
stay put.
As a matter of fact, the bar of the
State does not desire to see the Court
of Appeals abolished, and not a par
ticularly large •section of the lay citi
zenship is acutely interested in the
matter one way or the other. The
court seems to serve a very useful
purpose in disposing of the mass of
relatively unimportant matter that
used to stack irp appallingly in the
Supreme Court, and to that extent, at
least, it is a most inexpensive luxury
to Georgia. It might be merged into
the Supreme Court, by increasing the
membership of the latter body from
six to nine, but even at that it seems
difficult for the average lawyer to see
where the situation would be greatly
improved.
One thing appears to be certain
enough, however: If the Court of Ap
peals Is abolished, it then will be nec
essary to limit the right of appeal in
Georgia, or the Supreme Court can
not handle intelligently all the mat
ter sure to com* before it. A great
many Slates do limit the right of ap
peal; but Georgia throws the gates
wide open. You can go to a court of
review in Georgia on any old pretext
or with any old case, no matter how
small.
As there is only the remotest pos
sibility that the Court of Appeals will
be abolished, however, speculation as
to what might be done in the event it
were wiped out is speculation only.
Chairman “Bob” Davison, of the
Prison Commission, is expecting to
enjoy himself this Christmas to an
unusual degree.
“We are winding things up to-day.”
said the chairman, “and this office will
be. to all intents and purposes, closed
tight all next week. There have been
times when the Prison Commission
was worked overtime at the Christ
mas season, because of the perfect
avalanche of applications for Christ
mas clemency. Governor Slaton has
knocked that sort of business galley
west this year, however, and has
made it mighty plain that this‘Christ
mas clemency’ plea doesn’t *make
much of a hit with him!
“He is right, too. of course. There
is no earthly reason why a prisoner
should be extended clemency at
Christmas time more than at any oth
er time, if that is the best there is to
be said for him. .Still, if these people
insist upon applying to us, we must
hear them. The Governor has given
such parties a straight tip what to
expect at his hands—or what not to
expect, rather—and so he has eased
1 up the pressure in this office tre-
j mendously.
“I am going home to-night to enjoy
! my Christmas, and all mv associate
! members already have departed.”

i Mrs. McDonald
I That Georgia women soon will have
j 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 a vote,” and
who is an ardent -suffragist.
“I am opposed to equal suffrage, but
I must admit that the energetic man-
ner in which Georgia women are
i pushing their demands for the ballot
indicates it won’t be very long until
; they receive it,” she said Saturday.
Mrs. Shepherd is visiting friends in
Atlanta.
“Notoriety is displeasing to ine, and
I I think there has been enough writ-
j ten about me a,ready,” she said. “I
don’t think Mr. Heflin should be crit-
j icised for using the words which
■ someone else had spoken. I rather
; admire him for using them if he
1 thought there was force in them.
Calls Home Woman's Sphere.
“I am opposed to suffrage because
I believe a woman wields more influ
ence under present conditions than
she would by the right to vote. I
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
ir. 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. I don’t like to admi;
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
right to vote.
“A woman’s place is in the home.
No matter whether women 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 the ballot I think they will
cheapen it.”
Mr. Shepherd, who is well known
throughout the South and who is at
the head of a company, backed by the
Montgomery Camber of Commerce,
for the development of an automatic
railroad switch invented by his father,
greatly admires his wife’s views on
suffrage.
“There is not a big business which
is controlled by one man.” he said.
"Railroad presidents are controlled by
the sentiment existing in the mass of
employees and officials in their rail
road systems. They are controller*
from the interior, as it might be said
“It is the same way in which the
affairs of the country are controlled
by the women, for by the influence
pom the home does a man vote. And
most assuredly the women exercise a
i wonderful influence in controlling the
I vote of their husbands, sons and
I brothers.”
