CANDIDATES FOR THE LEGISLA
TURE.
There in a pretty big field of can
didates to pick from this year in the
legislative race from this county.
There are some seven candidates In
the field to fill the three places.
Why not apply the Commission
Government platform to the legisla
tive race? More voters in thlß coun
ty are interested in Augusta securing
a Commission Komi of Government
than any other issue. Last year Com
mission Government for Augusta was
defeated In the legislature after it
had won an overwhelming victory at
the polls.
The year before, the Commission
Charter was defeated at the polls by
a mere handful of voles. During the
two campaigns for Commission Gov
ernment practically every side of the
Issue lias been threshed out before
the people. The voters are thorough
ly familiar with the principles of
Commission Government.
It Is undoubtedly true that a nreat
majority oT the voters of Augusta are
In favor of the New Rule—the rule of
the people in I lie management of city
affairs.
When the legislative candidates
begin to ask you for your vote, ASK
THEM FOR THEIR VOTE FOR
COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.
Augusta ought to secure Its Com
mission Charter this summer from
the legislature.
EMANCIPATING THE MEN.
The season lias again rolled around
In which the dlxcusainn of the starched
collar and the etiquette of coats and
costlessness come up for discussion.
The manner in which men dress In
the hot days of summer Is a subject
which makes Its appeal to the hu
mane, yet the chances which are now
belnc promised do not emanate from
the aociety for the prevention of oru
ol)-S to animals.
Paris has attain seen its opportunity
to Issue its fsshlon command and
Par la |a learning that It will he obeyed
whenever its commands accord with
the wishes and longings of suffering
humanity. Anatola Francs, one of the
prominent literary men of l’arls, has
entered upon a career as s moulder
of fashion and Is leading a determined
fight against the stiff-starched col
lar, which civilised man lias worn
since the first days of his departure
from the Jungle. Anatoie France be
llevea that we are at a stage of prof
resa now which calls for the aboli
tion of the high white fence about
the neck.
He denounce* "the stiffening of
linen by mean* of starch" as one of
the last relics of barbarism, and has
issued a declaration of independence
against this galling tyranny. A league
for the abolition of the stiff collar
has been started with headquarters
In Pans, and thousands of artist*,
students, literary tnen and bohemians
are discarding the starched collar for
more sane and more graceful effects,
of the Byronlc order, with open
throat.
The movement is receiving serious
commendation and has not a* yet been
obstructed by the claim that any dis
respect for women Is Involved In the
variation. Man's feeble efforts to ex
tricate himself from the thraldom of
uncomfortable and unwholesome wear
ing apparel have heretofore been
thwarted by the fear that such changes
would constitute a breach of chivalry,
but the women themselves, as they
reach out for fuller powers, are losing
Interest tn keeping up these small tor
tures The low collar, the lsce collar,
the V-neck, If necessary perhaps In
time even the absence of the coat—
will be tolerated now, as an exchange
for further feminine emancipation,
A contemporary earnestly asks:
Why should men be required to
wear a ring around their neck, as
If they were galley-slHves? Stiff
collars are not only dreadfully un
comfortable, but they actually
have had a bad effect on the
health, by cutting off (he circula
tion of the blood at the neck. Not
Infrequently men are actually
■trangled to death while taking a
nap wearing a tight collar.
"Live and l<el Live," is the slogan of
the time*. tjlve the women liberty
and the) will not inalat on giving ua
death.

THE WA YS OF THRIFT
Copyrighted, 1914, American Society for Thrift.
SCOTCH THRIFT AND AMERICAN BUSINESS PRINCIPLES.
Hir Thomas l.lpton, who is well known in this country as the interna
tional cup challenger of Shamrock fame as a successful merchant, began
his business career 1n New York City at the age of fifteen. There was a
time when he lived on a few cent* a day, and had to borrow five cents to
send a letter to the old folks In Glasgow. When later his father offered to
set hi in up In a small grocery store in Glasgow, lie made thrifty application
of all his observations In America. Sir Thomas willingly admitted that hia
admiration and use of American business methods, coupled with his Scotch
thrift, were the secret of his financial success. He did not love money for
Its own sake, but he knew its value, and every dollar he made he saved.
Ho let no opportunity escape that could possible serve him, as la
Illustrated by the way he caused the misfortune ot a terrific storm off
the African coast to do advertising duty. He was In danger of ship
wreck. Before throwing the eases of tea overboard, which was necessary
In order to lighten the steamer, he had the words “Llpton's Tea” painted
on them in big black letters, thinking they might be picked up by some
one who had never heard of htß tea. The ship was saved and the cases of
tea cast overboard brought the merchant new business.
Thia man, who later became the owner of four hurdred and twenty
stores, sixty of which were located in London; warehouses all over Asia;
thousands of acres of land In the Island of Ceylon, where he grew tea,
Coffee and cocoa; a large packing house in Chicago, and having over ten
thousand employes in all parts of the world, gives the following recipe for
prosperity:
"The practice of thrift In all its phases and, principally, thrift as ap
plied to saving. Saving Is the first great principle of all success. It cre
ates independence; it gives a young man standing; it fills him with vigor;
In fact, It brings to him the best part of any success, happlnes and content
ment. if It were possible to inject the quality of saving into every boy, we
would have a great many friend*, but he will find none so steadfast, so con
stant. so capable of pushing him ahead, as a little leather-covered book
with the name of a bank on Its coyer.”
TO THE CLERGY OF THE UNITED
STATES.
A Letter From the Secretary of the
Church Peace Union.

Through the kindness of the press,
1 am taking this opportunity of ail

States
2. Three prizes, one of five
hundred dollars ($500), one of
three hundred dollars ($500), and
one of two hundred dollars ($200)

In the accomplishing of the desired
results among the church members

tlie awarding of the prizes, The

pend largely upon the assistance
which the pastors can render. It Is
earnestly hoped that the pastors will

say should be sent from each church

says of the local church and Sunday

INDOOR SPORTS * * By Tad
Russian “Mark Twain"
Driven Into Exile By >
His Humor; Much Regret
St. Petersburg—Ruhanovltch. the nov
eltet and dramatlet, who hae sometimes
been called the Russian "Mark Twain"
has been driven into exile by his humor.
Persecution of the authorities here
have resulted in keeping him abroed
permanently. There Is much regret In
literary circles.
Under the pen name of Sholem Alelk
hem (“Good day to you") his fame as
a humorous atory-writer has fur ex
ceeded the boundaries of his native land,
many of his works having been trans
lated Into English.
In Russia. however, the eatlrical
strain which runs through all his writ
ings has repeatedly brought upon him
the vengeful hands of the authorities.
in 190 S, for instance, a warrant was
out sgalnst him in his non de plume as
th* author of a book in which he poked
fun at Russia over the Japanese war.
and Mr. Ruhanovltch fled to London,
whence he proceeded on a lecturing tour
through the provinces and the United
States.
He returned to Russia, but recently
he was again subjected to many perae
cutionn. M. Ruhanovltch lias now de
cided to remain abroad for good.
