If the other 124 counties In the state

Most Successful Convention
of Merchants Ever
Held.
The oeventh and most successful an
nual convention of the Georgia Retail
Grocers’ Association held Its last two
sessions Wednesday afternoon and
night In' the convention hall of the
New Kimball.
The feature of the arternoon meeting
was an address by J. A. VanHoose, of
Birmingham, Ala., president of the
Southern Wholesale Grocers' Assocla
tlon. He spoke on "The Need of Or 1
sanitation, and the Beneficial Results
to Be Secured by the United Co
operation of Jobber and Retailer."
Sir. VanHoose stated that he came
In the Interest of showing the close
connection which lies between the
wholesaler and retailer, and urged upon
the retailers the absolute necessity of
thorough organisation. He stated that
so anxious waa the wholesalers that the
retailers be thoroughly organised that
he believed the wholesale association
would pay half the expenses of State
Organiser E. R. Moore.
E. R. Moore, state organiser for
Georgia, was the next speaker, his sub
ject being “What It Takes to Make a
Successful Association, and How to
Secure Results." He emphasised the
need of co-operation on the part of the
retailers, not so much for a large profit
as for a fair deal to all members of the
trade. He claimed that more than any
thing else the prosperity of a city Is
dependent upon the retail trade.
"We have got to work together. Co
operation Is In the air, and 'you must
get together. Instead of conducting a
cut-throat business we should help
each other. There Is no use to organ
ise a trust to raise prices. We want
organisation for self-protection," said
Mr. Moore.
Secret Key Credit Card.
A report from the committee on ways
and means recommended a secret key
credit card, to be used by members of
year for each firm using It. The com
mittee also recommended that Mr.
Moore's salary and expenses be paid
out of a per capita tax on the members.
Short talks were made by J. E. Mad
dox, C. H. Kelley, D. H. Browder, and
George Boynton, all wholesale dealers.
By-Laws Changed.
The constitution and by-laws of the
association were so changed as to al
low wholesale grocers to become hon
orary members, with annual dues of
225,'and also so as to permit the ad
mission to membership of all classes of
retail merchants. The association de
cided that It needed two vice-presi
dents In the future Instead of one, and
consequently the constitution and by
laws were changed again.
olutlons were adopted Indoraln
the pure food bill, the garnishment bll
and the trading stamp bill now {lending
In the state legislature.
The following officers were elected
ir the ensuing year:
President—J. W. Kilpatrick, Atlanta.
First Vice-President—A. E. Douglas.
Madison. . . . . _ „
Second Vice-President—-J. W. S.
Hardy, Waycross.
Treasurer—C. W. Rawson, Albany.
Secretary—John Bratton. Atlanta.
The association decided to meet next
year at Warm Springs.
Final session.
The Anal session of the convention
waa held Wednesday night at 8 o'clock,
and, all special business having been
attended to, the following Interesting
addresses were listened to:
“Leaks In Mercantile Life, Hon. Jas.

COMMITTEE KILLS
The Needs of Important Legislation

W. Farllnger, the well known Atlanta

INDER KEEPS MONEY
BUT RETURNS PURSE
If you loet a pocketbook containing
money and papers and you recovered
the papers without the money, would
you be glad or sorry? J. D. Carter, of
247 East Pine street, compromised by
being angry, to Judge from what he
said Wednesday.
Mr. Carter lost his pocketbook last
Saturday afternoon. It contained 28 In
currency and several papers of value to
wner, but of slight Interest to the
\ Mr. Carter bewailed his loss tor
several days: '
On Tuesday afternoon Mn Carter
found a package In his mall. It was
the shape of a pocketbook, the else of a
pocketbook. It felt like a pocketbook.
opened the package, and sure
enough It wise the pocketbook. Mr.
Carter smiled and remarked that there
was still some good In the world. In
spite of Standard Oil and the beef
trust—Thomas Lawson to the contrary,
notwithstanding. Then he opened, the
prodigal purse.
The missing papers were tucked
snugly In their accustomed pockets, but
the place where the greenbacks had
in wont to nsetle there was nothing
but disappointment. The finder had
put that eight dollars where It would
do the most good. Then Mr. Carter
remarked that the muck rakers were
right—the world was growing worse.
He addressed the following to the pub
lic through The Georgian:
If the party will send the 83 and hla
lresa the gentleman will send him
the pocketbook. Some say the world Is
getting better, but for dishonesty and
scheming It waa naver more damnable.
The trouble makers are busy.”
And that recalls the question—would
Mr. Carter have been happier had he
not received the pocketbook at all?
Should he feel unlucky because he lost
his money or lucky because he found
his papers? How would you feel? The
answer will Indicate whether you are a
pessimist or sn optimist.

COMMON SCHOOL BILL
IS PASSEOJY HOUSE
Consolidates and Revises -All the
School Laws of the
State.
The common school bill, consolidat
ing and revising. all the school laws
of the state, passed the house Wed
nesday afternoon, after the provision
had been stricken from the bill enti
tling holders of diplomas from the
State Normal at Athens, the Georgia
Normal at Mllledgevllle and the North
Georgia at Dahlonega to teach without
examination.
It provides for the building of school
houses, the consolidation of schools,
transportation of pupils to the schools
In certain exigencies, nnd also pro
vides a penalty for disturbing schools,
the same as divine worship. The school
boards can condemn lands for school
purposes, under the right of eminent
domain, just as the railroads do now.
It also restricts the selection of coun
ty school commissioners to teache.Si,
and commissioners who have served os
such for four years, and changes the
school year from January 1 to Sep
tember 1.
SERVICES IN HONOR
OE DEAD COMRADES
Services In honor of the memory of
dead comrades will be held by Camp
Walker, No. 226, United Confederate
Veterans, Sunday morning at the
Walker Street Methodist Church. It
will be the A rat memorial service of
the camp In two yean and a number of

Bill By Rose, of Upson, Reported
Unfnvorably to the
House.
From present Indications the present
legislature, like two former sessions of
this body, will turn down without much
ado the proposition to disfranchise the
negro In Georgia.
The house committee on constitution
ol amendments Wednesday afternoon
very promptly voted to report unfa
vnrably the measure by Mr. Rose, of
Upaon, providing for their dlsfran
chlaement
This action Is Interesting In view of
the fact that this question has been
made one of the Issuea of the present
gubernatorial campaign. The measure
Is similar to that of Congressman
Hardwick, when he waa a member of
the house, which twice met defeat In
successive bodies. A like defeat seems
to be In store for Mr. Rosa's effort
along tha same line.
The conatlutlonal amendment com
mlttee held a short session Wednesday
afternoon a few minutes after 6 o'clock,
Immediately following the adjournment
of the house. Those present were: Mr.
Perry, of Hall, chairman: Mr. Hall, of
Bibb; Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb; Mr.
Nowell, of Walton; Mr. Felder, of Bibb,
and Mr. Longley, of Troup. The bill
provides for an educational qualifies-
tlon of voters, and also contains the
'grandfather" clause.
The bill was reported unfavorably
ipon the motion of Mr. Hall, of Bibb,
rhe committee did not lose any time In
dlscusatng the meaaure. There waa no
vote tat a favorahle recommendation.
If Mr. Rosa wishes to carry the Aght
to the Aoor of the house, It will be In
order for him to move to disagree with
the unfavorable report of'the commit
tee, when It le reached In the house.
If the report Is agreed to that kills the
bill.
Action on the bill of Senator Wilcox
to create the county of Ben Hill from
portions of Wilcox and Irwin, with
Fllsgerald aa the county seat, waa de
ferred, as alio on the bill of Senator
Wheatley to create the ofAce of lieu
tenant governor.
No Biennial Sessions.
The committee was In an unfavora
ble mood snd turned down also the
bill of Mr. Christopher, of Hall.to hold
biennial aesalona of the legislature; by
Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, to permit
any county, town or municipality to In
crease Ita public debt from 7 per cent
to 12 per cent of Its taxable properly,
and to empower the legislature to cre
ate new counties when the public Con
venience requires It.

There waa once a time In our good
city of Atlanta when ecreen doors and
windows were only used by people who
considered them a luxury and not a ne
cessity, but aa people become more ed
ucated and sclenca grows gradually
upon them, then It Is that the burdens
of life grow lesser—everybody gets
closer together and longevity of life la
more desired. Now that Is just the
point we would make and on one par-
ttcularjmbject—screen doors. They are
no longer considered a luxury exclu
sively, but, on the othdr hand, art an
absolute necessity pure and almple.
The files are necessarily exiled, and
that terrible mosquito no longer makes
his voluntary visits when you have
your home snugly closed In by ecreens.
Now we have a little tale to tall, and
we trust our readers will not judge by
the prelude that we are posing ae the
