TEST OF LOYALTY.
Tlii* Augusta people have given new
evidence In their loyalty unci devotion
to tlielr city In giving their consent
to u new bond labile They have mild.
In effect to the present eilque of pol
iticians who preside over the des
tinies of their city: “We ugain take
our chance that you will deal fairly
with us, because, we cannot take the
chance of letting our expenditures for
the levee be swept away."
It is now up to those who control
the public and political affairs of the
City to make good To the citizens
who nave trusted them
Let us hope that there will, here
after, be scrupuloua frankness with
the people end rigid economy In
spending the money the bonds will
bring In for the levee.
It wita a great mistake to have play
ed diplomacy to the extent of so
I'teally underestimating the cost of
the levee, in tlio first place, but us the
result of this error has proved that
the citizens of Augusta are peculiarly
responsive to every claim made upon
them In the name oi progress and
civic pride, let us hope that the gen
erous spirit of unity this bond elec
tlon expresses, will bring our various
gtolltloal cliques to u harmonious un
demanding that above everything
else. Augustus progress and honor
ore to he considered.
THE SUNSHINE OF DARK DAYS.
The Republicans and the Hull
Mooseltes ere making a Joyful noise
OTer hard times and slackened busi
ness. They are revelling in the sun
shine of dark days, construing every
thing that gives pause to business as
a reilection against the Democratic
program for more just tariffs and
more honest business. They are like
■the Old darkey wlio.said::
“Po'ly, thank doe laird." whenever
comlderato friends Inquired as to his
■well being. As long as the Democrats
are in power they will thank th> l-ord
when business is po'ly and when it
Isn t they will thank the Lori that
they can sill! say it is, an.■haw.
They arc claiming the . arth. Ip. an
endeavor to create conTM.mco I" their
party and are arguing 'hat next No
vember will bring xbwi » comp) te
change In congress, because come few
are disgust.si with I’r.*s detv Wll
won's peaceful attitude toward Mexi
co. some lew, again, are angry be
cause he desires to vindicate the un
tlon's honor and repeal the act giving
u subsidy to tbe coastwise ship mo
nopoly and some few. still arc alarm
od because further trust legislation
promises u nearer approach to lair
ness in big business.
Wlieu all these malcontents are
massed together, however, we do not
believe they will amount to much.
Ti'e record this administration has
made appears to us to be highly grat
ifying to all who are not minded by
previous prejudice and personal In
terests to the good that has been
achieved
It Is,never an onsv thing to reckon
upon tbe prevailing convictions lu a
great repeal like this, tint from nil
we cun glean from the press ntul mug-
Hxlnen of the country we are persusd
cd that President Wilson has gatnel
steadily in the confidence and sup
port of the American people und we
believe the Democratic party will
again prevail in the elections next No
vember
Sovoynrd. the brilliant newspaper
correspondent of Washington, ex
presses the opinion that if the Repub
licans should win over the Democrats
thla Fall It would be one oT the most
startling aurprlaes of all history, but
history would only re, cut Itself If the
majority In the national housa of rep
resentatlve* were reduced. “For
more than sixty years that fate has
overtaken every president of every
petty—Pierce. Huchanan. Lincoln,
Grant, Haves, Arthur, Cleveland
twice—Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt
and Taft, and In the case of many of
them the mid-election discovered an
adverse majority In the house of rep
reaentatlvos. It wraa so with Pierce,
Huchanan, Grant second term;
Heyes, Arthur, Cleveland, second
term: Harrison and Taft.
Thla la Interesting, .-specially as an
emphasis to the prophecy that his
tory will not repeat itself this year

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
Copyright, 1914, American Society for Thrift.
THE PART OF INTELLIGENCE.
Nothing is too small or of too little value to a Chinaman on which to
spend his time anil labor. Never a foot of land In China lies idle. Where
there are roads, the greedy farmer nibbles away at the sides until the pav
ing stones tilt and sink Into the holds. As u ride, the roads are footpaths
from one to three feet wide. Land Is too valuable to be used for pasture
or meadows for rattle. On every outdoor spot something is growing.
“Every weed Is destroyed arid every plant Is tended like a baby”—and not
a Chinese baby at that. Foothills are terraced and tiers of gardens thrive
to t lie very top.
Were Is not for Infinite painstaking the fertility of tbe soil would have
run out generations ngo. Tbe great yellow loess area in North China
makes the problem comparatively easy there. In other places the rich de
posits of rivers and ditches are used us fertilizer. In the cities there is no
particular use for sewers. Long before sunrise a great army of scavengers
from the farms have crept through the cities in their canal boats collecting
for the encouragement of the crops what we cast into the sewers.
While "industry Is fortune’s right hand and frugality her left,” an In
telligent use of time and energy is necessary for progress. The Chinese,
particularly Inland, work hard to maintain life itself Too many people liv
ing on a given area has sharpened their wits; industry and patience art
commonplace, yet hound down by superstition, tile Chinese are poverty
stricken.
When, however, they leave the graves of their ancestors and work
under enlightened condltons of other countries, they become thrifty. Ar
kansas farms were considered of little value until Chinese thrift came in
and began to use them for raising the best grade of rlee fn the United
States, In California they work on farms, in the fruit groves, ns house
hold servants, in factories; they haw- worked as laborers, making
levee s , irrigating canals nnd ditches. Four-fifths of the labor of
grading for the Central Pacific 1 Railroad was performed by Chinamen.
Chinese labor had a very important bearing on the rapid development of
California.
The thrift of the Chinese, intelligently need, with Its resultant prosper
ity and suecess In America, has startled the nation.
If It does not do so no one could fall
to realize that the present administra
tion Is stronger with the people than
ny administration has been for sixty
years past Walt and see.
GEORGIA GIRL'S
SUIT DEFENDED
Mother of Miss Law Writes
Letter Explaining the Breach
of Promise of Marriage
Action.
Atlanta, Ga.—ln a lot t written to
Thp Journal from Paris by Mr*. N. Lu
ll.uni Law. formerly of Atlanta, mother
ts Mias DiArtvle Lhxabath Law. who
»'ni hwanted 3.000 by an Knglish court
on Ma\ Bth, 1911. ah n prenuptial nri
tleniMit made by C'Hputln Ihi trick Hamil
ton, of the British army before ht» death
hi an uaropj.uie m Sapiember, 1912, Mrs.
Law states that the suit was brought,
not im» much for the money, hut io Jus
tify openly tha position of heraalf ami
du tighter.
Mrs. Law states that the account in
Tli« Jour mil. of May 9. puts tier dit ligh
ter In i w ron* position, and writes itiiss
letter, with clippings from English pa
pers enclosed, to straighten things out.
Mrs l.iw says that trouble between
tier daughter and Uuptatn Hamilton,
utter their eiiKSKeiiient. was caused by "a
jealous old maid, nearly forty, in tho
Hamilton family," who. sans Mrs. lauv.
succeeded In the enp» In bracking the en
gagement otf wheri «he found the! Miss
Law wss not an nclress
"People began to talk." writes Mrs.
I*aw. "and. tn September, (1913)) when
Ouptn n ns in lit on died, very many peo
ple said he killed himself, that In fly
ing he took *ll sorts of risks, hoping to
meet his death before October, us his
regiment the Second Woeterehtres, was
coming to Knalnnd >n October nnd ex
pected to part In the wedding. Cap
lain Hamilton could give no honorable
explanation of why the wedding wae not
to take place, so preferred death.
"Ware Much Blamed/*
•‘Naturally. Kthel Hamilton snd the
mother were much blgmed," Mra. Istw
continued "They h>d disgraced Cap
tain Hamilton, so now begun to Justify
themsetves by un attack on Derryle und
me.**
Mrs. I*nw sa>s she and and dnughter
left for Switxcrland, that, when they
were In Swltxerlund the llumiltons con
tinued to t*lk and even denied that
there ever had been any engngt'mcnt.
However, says Mr* Law. they admitted
the engagement quickly enough Inter nt
the trial, rather than have letters intro
duced to prove it which would be very
damaging to them
"The Standard,** n London newspaper
of May S. 1914 reports this phase of
the trial as follows:
••Cornierl was ulniut to rend letters lo
prove the engagement, when Mr Uhtali
nen (for the defense 1 said he woul ad
mit the engagement
"Mr. Terrell (counsel ffor Miss Lawn:
'l* do not accept the admission/*
"His lord»h<» You c*n not refuse to
do that, If It is admitted, it requires no
INDOOR SPORTS
further proof, nnd T shnll object to your
reading any letters tending to prove the I
engagement.
"Mr. Terrell: I can understand why
the engagement is admitted now, for the’
firsr time.
"Mr. Clausen: I admit the engagement
because l think it Is terrible that the I
love IctteiM of these two young people
should be retd in court when the poor]
man is dead."
"No Longer Engaged."
The story of Captain Hamilton nnd
Miss Law who has many friends and
real lives In Atlanta Is outlined by ttie
British lawyers. In brief:
Shortly after their meeting on Long
IsLnd In 1911 they were engaged to be
married in February in Washington. P.
C. The engagement was announced.
Later the young aviator went to Mexico
on a business enterprise. Then, appar
ently as a result of correspondence with
his family. Captain Hamilton wrote to
Miss Law asking that the wedding be
postponed, as the British army regula
tions prevented him front being promot
ed Mn the Flying Corps If married.
After the Mexican failure. Captain
Hamilton agreed If Miss Law would
postpone the murr'affe, he would settle
»;oo pounds (03.000) on her and would
s**tt!« all of tils property on hey on the
date of the marriage. This declaration,
found to be valid contract by tlie Kng
llsh court, was signed in Philadelphia
and dated February 12, 1912.
In the spring of 1912. Captain Hamil
ton telephoned Miss law. then In Ten
don, and told her they were no longer
engaged, that they could not possi
ble ever be married ns he had only a
bucket full of itebis to live on. Ills last
word* over the ‘phone were "good-by
niv dearest"—and, in th e following
September, he was killed when his sere
plane fell on Salisbury Plan, England.
Mrs. Law «nd her daughter are now
living In Paris, where Miss Law is hav
ing her voice trained.

The moat dangeroua features of the

by Mr. Harris.
"Two of the candidates for gover
nor are prominent railroad attorneys,
and other city railroad attorneys will
probably be candidates. If the city
railroad attorneys who are candidates
for governor should have a majority
of the delegates and combine at the
convention, they would not only name
the governor to make the lease of the
state’s railroad, the rental of which
goes to the common schools, but they
would also name the United States
senators and all the state house offi

"Some of the candidates for United

Mr. Ilurris then quotes from a recent
