Now then, after* those two senten ces. a numiau of very interesting things happened. The Honorable Janes K Vardanian, of Mississippi, snaking tils lonii and flowing locks— and he has plenty'of them to shake— rose and. gnashing* his teeth gnashlly, Mild five words to Senator West. Senator West, leaping high In the air and waving hi* arm* about rapidly, replied in five word* that were equal ly gnnahatory; but*he has few locks to shake. The long and flowing locks of Sen ator Vardan an geatuied and gesticu lated. TIA- almost imperceptible locks ot Resmtoi Weal 'ii.i their inti* bogt. The voices of the two men were high and excited. It looked like a ftght. felt like one, had all the makings of one; hut it was not Still, there was a very lively and interesting diver sion. "Who know* hut that the shipping interests have spent a hundred thou sand dollars in order to secure the defeat of this hill" was asked rather heatedly by Senator West. At this point the Record takes up the situation. Mr. Vardaman: Have you been offered any? Mr. West; Do not say that to me Mr. Vardaman: Well, you are mak ing an Intimation that somebody else 1 has been Influenced. Mr West: I did not say ao. 1 | said- Mr Vardaman: You said —— The Presiding Officer: Senators will please come to order. Senators will please take their seat*. Mr West l did not say they had been bribed, or otherwise The Presiding officer Senator will please take their seats The sergeant at arn * will see that the senator* are seated Mr. West: No I am not going to sit down. I am not through. Mr Vardaman: The senator can not make an intimation of that kind Mr. West: 1 did not intimate it. Then Senator James calmed them and Senator Ashurst kept them apart; and the historic afternoon when Senator Tillman uppercut Sen ator Mcl-aurtn remain* a* the last occasion on which any of the sena torial White Hopes did any real slug ging. What an opportunity was thrown juwav by that laiy Record reporter! Think of the word painting that might have been done, whether there ! whs any eye painting or not as there jw as not. And it Is not likely that | Senator West w ill have another chance either, untiringly a* he may I work to get In and on and over and j under the discussions. His time is short. Hence let tin give him credit for what he has done.’* GOLD GOING ABROAD TO BRING AMERICANS HOME. Plans sre rapidly being perfected to j secure ship* and to furnish funds to Americans abroad, so that they may ! return to this country. In the mean* j time. Americans abroad will he sub jected to many discomforts and In conveniences. However Unrig Ram Is | on the Job and all that la possible will \ e done to bring hack the hundreds jof thousands of Americans In Europe %ht* summer Augusta ha* a number of ctUsens who are nhrmul this summer In the i various cities and capitals of Europe It has been impossible to secure news Inf them in the rapid march of eventa. hut the hope Is entertained that aside j from the discomfort* and inconten* I vaniences encountered, all will be eaftly returned to thU country. ATTENTION, COUNTY COMMIS SIONERS. County taxes are raised on a tax digest of over 30 millions. City tax payers pay iu round figures on 28 millions and the taxpayers outside of the city on two millions. About 90 per cent of the county funds are raised from city property and city taxpayers. Less than 10 per cent of tho county funds comes from the county proper taxes, outside of the city- of Augusta. The County Commissioners order the expenditure of the county funds. Why not order a part of them in the city, whirl/ Is part of the county, and which contributes 90 per cent of the money. Taxation without representation, without direct benefits, is what th« city gets, in the expenditure of countv funds and in the work of the county forces. Isn’t it time for part of the county funds t<» la* spent in the city and give at least that 90 per cent of the thx money some benefits and some representation? Half of the county funds and half of the county work is done in Atlanta and the other half In Fulton county. This half division of funds and county work is done in a good many urban counties. Here in Augusta with the city doing so much to protect the citizens of the county, building a two million dollar lever and contributing 90 per cent of the funds of the county, it is him time the County Commissioners began i the scheme of a fair and equitable di vision of county funds and county work. Taking the tax money of the city and discriminating against the city in th»* expenditure of the county funds and in the division of the coun ty work, is working an increasing hardship on Augusta and should cease. Make Your Garden a Place to Live in In the August Woman s Home Com- I’anlon Frank A. Waugh, professor of landscape gardening at the Massachu setts College of Agriculture, writes an article about gardens- full ot pra-ti cal suggestions. I’rofessor Waugh says tttai English and German gar dens, especially the latter, are always attractive because of the number of seats and tables provided. He -tells particularly of little suburban garden near Merlin which he used to vistl, where at every turn of the walk there were chairs ot a bench Invttuig one to linger. This, lie says, .« as it should be in every gurden. 'We ought to lie able to sit and read, sew, think, gossii, eat, drink and be merry, or Just plain loaf," adds the author. In conclusion Professor Waugh says; “Ouce more, and in conclusion, let It be emphasised that the garden, where the family ought to live and eat and sleep, ought to be adequately fttrnlsheu. It should not be cold and empty, with no place to sit or read or play. It should be full of lbs proved conveniences of everyday life. Also It should have features which will supply a lively Interest to visit ors and to members of the family. Yet this Tarnishing must not go too far. It will never do to crowd the garden with bric-a-brac. If tb.i home grounds become a mere museum ot Grecian lilies. Italian statues, Japan ese lanterns, and Alaska totem poles they have forever lost their character as a garden and simultaneously their uselessncsa aa a part of the domestic establishment While the garden fttr utshlnga should be ample and ade quate they should be simple and ser viceable “In a word, the problem oT furni ture for the garden is in ite essence precisely the same as ihe problem of furniture for the Interior o: the house. AM the separate pieces should he con sistent in style and clearly aulted to the central purpose of the garden. This central purpose appears clearly to view as soon as we regard the garden as an integral part of the home contributing its ntll share to the dally life and enjoyment of all the family and to the hospitality extended to strangers."

AUGUSTA, GA. THE WAYS OF THRIFT Copyrighted, 1911. Amen, n Society, for Thrift. WHO OWNS THE PAY ENVELOPE The practice among foreigners 01 j the older generation of demanding tlie money earned by ttieir children to spend lor tnem or save as they deem Pest, Is prevalent and almost invariably operates to the detriment of the children. In the opinion of Miss Mary H Gilson, service su eruitendent for a big clothing house of Cleve and, it would appear that the motners ot these young factory workers are as much in need of training as their children. In a letter to President S. W. Straus, of the American Society for Thrift, she said: “When l was placement secretary in the Boston Trade School for Girls we attempted to train our girls In habits of thrift lie ore they went out to work. There was much class dis cussion of tho proper spending of money and wise choice of textiles, foods, etc. But for the past two years I have felt that much of the work we did along this line in Bos ton and similar work that is being done in other public schools of the country Is futile because parents do not, as a rule, give children tho training which they need if they are to become thrifty savers and wise spenders. I can conservatively esti mate tnat two-thirds of our unmar ried employees turn their pay en velo; cs over to their parents unop ened. "Many of- the foreign parents buy very unwisrty, and the velvet shoes With glass buttons and cheap flimsy materials which one often sees on factory girls are purchased by the parents themselves. When these girls marry it is noticeable that they have no idea of the value of money. We have cases of women working here at the factory who have to pay A Dark Cloud. Over the Earth . Lightning Flashes oT Death, the Inte lb genre of the Race Devote dto Mur der, a Dreadful Picture That YV ill Shock Future Civilization. (Copyright, 3914 by Star Company.) In Europe millions of men are mob ilizing for murder-. On the long stretches of highway nten are marching. Frenchmen into Germany, Germans Into France, Rus sians into Gerany, each with but one thought, to inflict death at any cost. At sea the gray warships wait for each other like great monsters of prey, and even in the air the death hunt goes on. Every luune in Europe has Us anx ious heart, its fear of death. Every noble effort of mankind is paralyzed and futile. The world waits only for news, of great destruction, or of the official statement of some nation that It In its turn haa Joined the ranks of murder. Horrible Is the picture that this earth now offers to future genera tions. Men that might live happily and at |>eace. are thinking only how they may most effictlvely destroy each other. Fields that would feed all and mil lions snore are to he made fields of battle and drenched with blood. Seventeen millions of human beings, armed with deadly weapons, may be brought Into this horrible, needless fight before It ends. ttf these millions some are old. and many millions are young —mere hoys. Race hatred, religious haired flame up with bitterness forgotten. The world must suffer long for the revival of these hatreds. t'tir own nation looks on in humble spirit Seeing the ngttons murder each oth er. we might well ear as John Wesley said of the drunkard in the gutter. "Hut for the grace of God there lies John Wesley." But for our isolated position, the thousands of miles of ocean that sep arate us from the conflict «e might be devoting every effort to the murder of others and sacrificing every con structive' power In ihe work of de stroying. For we are no better than am Euro pean nation. If we are as good. We | sre made up of those nations. They jara our brothers our fathers and our n others | And with horror w« look on helpless. , off heavy debts incurred at the time of their weddings- They start out : handicapped and become discouraged I because of their inability to save, j "Many parents, as you know, con j sider their children assets and wnen i attempt to reason with them tuey j say, 'No, I have spent a great deal ! of money on Mary and she owes me I eevry cent s:,e can earn until she gets married ' 1 think that in moat cases of early marriages this desire for financial independence : j » I strong influence, and the girl who I pays board at home and is allowed | to keep the rest of her money to have and spend as she chooses generally makes a very much wiser choise of husband than the girl who turns her pay envelope over to her parents. "i was talking with one of our foremen yesterday who said that 'as long as his boys stayed under his roof their pay envelopes belonged to j him. ‘Why,’ he said, T know a fel low who is twenty-eight years old. and he has never opened a pay en- I velope in all his life.’ When I oh l ieoted to such treafmdht he said. | 'Well, he Is all right. His mother I has saved his money for him and | bought him a house.’ While this is I a better course than most of the par i cuts I tii.nk that even in this case | tire boy’s character would have been j stronger had he been trained to save his own money ” Here is another case: ‘‘Emily P. : makes over two dollars a day. Her mother was visting the shop one day and I took her to see where Emily works at her machine. S‘he said proudly, ’Yes, Emily makes good Mone.' .’ I took the opportunity to urge Mrs P. to have Emily start a savings ae.cotmt in our Penny Bank, but was met with the remark, ‘Oh, [ give her ten cents a day for spend ing money and she isperfectly satis fied" There is no news to tell. Details will be printed in all the newspapers. Loss of life, destruction- Of ships, burning of cities, dreadful. Infamous crimes against civilization will be recorded Rut all of that Is not news The whole story- ls'told in the mes sage —civilization has declared war against itself. Terrible is the lesson to be learned by the fighting tribes of savage men that call themselves nations. It Is an old and dreadful lesson. It was learned by Cain when he saw his brother dead before him and fled from the curse. It Is a lesson learned in each cen tury, and almost each year, since men lagan struggling for power and w ealth. Vainly we hoped that the lesson had b< en learned finally, that the human race knew It. But still It is to be learned. . "He that leadeth into captivity shall go Into captivity; he that killetii with the sword must be killed with the sword." The world Is a picture of horror, and there Is not a bright spot in It except , the distant hope that from this in ! ternational crime and riot of blood I «nd destruction real peace at last shall j come. All that Is good In man Is put aside. I whatever can destroy life is valuable, whatever can (rente value Is worth- I less. \ Five hundred thousand years hu- I n-sn beings have lived on this planet, j For two thousand years almost thev have professed Christianity and re peated the command, “Love thr neigh bor A quarrel one man's dignity Is of- ' fended, another man says, “I will help my friend though It cost a million lives," and all of Europe becomes a slaughter house-men marching, blood running, civilization and every- good Instinct forgotten, REASON ENOUGH I The Y oung Bri le—l didn't accept Jim the first time he proposed, i Miss Ryval (slightly envious) —I j know It. my dear.
