GEORGIA NEEDS THE SECOND PRIMARY LAW. The election or the nomination of a V. 8. senator goes out of the hands of the people after all. The contest waged before the people will he declin'd by the politicians in tho state convention. It's entirely possible that a dark horse may win. It has been suggested that Joe Brown may even yet win to the senate, for the short term, though he ran for the long term and waa de claevly defeated. The Idea of the primary la for the people to choose their nominees and Officials. This purpose Is defeated when the matter Is finally referred to the atate convention. There should he a second primary In Georgia The people rather than the politicians should finally decide this matter. The amount of wire pulling and po litical trading that will occur In the atate convention may result In some tremendous auprises before It ta over. THE EMPIRE LIFE APPRECIATES AUGUSTANS’ SUPPORT.

CURIOUS FORMS OF GREETING. One South America Tribe Weeps Whenever a Friend Is Met. The kiss, the hand-shake and th* bow are the salutations that are In Ihe moat universal use at the present day. Yet there extat races to whom these forma of greeting would seem as ludicrous ne thill own customs seem lo us. In thin connection K«*cianVs I'nlvcrsoin describes some curious cuatoma that the tieople of various races observe when they greet on an other. INDOOR SPORTS were some tents end we alt got out and went Into the biggest one. Bobby Jones, yo unever heard such a noise, it was Just awful. "I saw an awful big Teddy Bear In a cage, and one animal had such a long neck that I did not find his head at all. There was another animal there, the queerest looking creature, he looked as though he was turned around, his tall was right on hts face and he had little eyes I don't believe he ever saw the whole of himself, his eyes were so small. But he could make a noise deaf." "But how can I play circus?” asked Bobby; “I am not an animal, am I?" "Oh. you will he something T saw In a side show, a Punch and Judy they cull It, you look Just like the Punch.” "What did he have to do?” asked Bobby. “Oh, he talked and he wasn't very nice to his wife, and a poltcemnn car ried him off.” ”Oh, good-bye,” said Bobby, think ing of the time Druallla was arrested, ''then 1 shall have an adventure." Druallla did not reply to this re mark, but went on with her story. "In another tent there were places to sit down, so we all went In there and ate peanuts and popcorn, and by and by some beautiful horses, with spangled saddles, walked past us and gold carriages and beautiful la dles ” The window of the paper doll’s house opened Wider. "What did they do?* she asked with a smile. "They did not do anything," said Drusllla with a toss of her head, "they did not even speak.” "1 guess 1 better look over my ward robe," said the paper doll, closing her blinds. "Isn't she the conceited creature?" wld Drusllla. ''l don't suppose she sill be In the circus at all. I don't The prostration of the salaam, salu tations that many Orientals use, are only more pronounced forms of the bow. So there la a connection be tween the embrace, so common in civ ilized countries, and the greeting of a number of the Koiuri tribe of Brit ish New Guinea, who, in saluting a missionary, placed one arm about his neck and stroked him under the chin. Among the Masai and Ukerewe. It is a mark of respect to greet an ac quaintance or a stranger by spitting nt him. Almost as strange Is the cus tom ascribed to the Tibetans of stick ing out the tongue by way of salu tation. Kuhhlng noses Is quite com mon. The Burmese and many tribes of EsUtmoca, Laplanders and May ale do so. Stranger than any of these customs Is the weeping salutation that lias been observed among Central South American Indians. This farm of greet ing occurs, too. In the Adaniau Is lands, New Zealand Polynesia. A l’ortuguese explorer describes the custom ns he saw It used uniting a tribe of South Ameriacn Indians: Whenever a guest enters a lint he Is immediately honored, and m ule welcome by being wept over. Without a word being spoken lie la led to the hammock. Aa soon la he Is seated the hoatesa and her daughters, and any of their girl friends who happen to be In the house at the time, come and sit about the gueat. touch him light ly with their fingers, and com mence to weep loudly, and to shed many teara During the cere mony, In a sort of connected dis course. they recite everything that has happened to them recently, and talk of the hardships of the road that the visitor has suffered and nf anything and everything that ran arouse compassion and tear*.

"No, there was a lot more.” said Drusllla. “Funny men who stood on their heads and monkeys riding on the llttlest ponies I ever saw. Oh, we had a splendid time and everybody laughed.” “What did they laugh at?” asked Bobby. "Oh, I don't Just know, but it was awfully good. You will see tomor row,” Drusllla told him.

Once upon a time Nettle and her mother went to the city to make a visit. It was all new and strange to Nettle lor she had never been to the city hefore. One day she was sitting on the steps with her mother when a man with a hand organ and a mon key camk along. Nettle had never seen a monkey before and she thought she had never seen anything so funny. While thq man played the monkey danced round and round keeping time with the music very well. When Net tie gave him a penny he took off hlj funny red cap and made a bow and then put the penny Into his pocket. The man put a pair of glasses on the monkey’s nose and handed him a piece of paper to read. The monkey took the paper and made, so Nettle THE WAYS OF THRIFT (Copyright, 1914, American Society for Thrift.) THE TAXATION FOLLY By S. W. Straus, President American Society for Thrift. Franklin said: "The taxes are in deed heavy; but If those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, wo might more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed quite as much by our Idleness, three times is much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly; and from those taxes the commissioners cannot cass or deliver us by allowing an abate ment.” The taxes of folly, pride and Idleness are growing conspicuous in the United States as a result of tho European war. The extravagances and lack of thrift In domestic affairs are produi lng nationally higher costs of living which thrift will cut. It comes home lo the American housewife when now, at the very beginning of the war, the choice cuts of meats are almost out of the queetlon for families of small means; It Is predicted that sugar will soon be teq cents a pound; flour, ce reals, beans, cora, butter, tea, coffee,' are higher—in fart, it Is said that tho only marketable food not high at pres ent Is the potato. Mrs, Julian Heath, president of the National Housewives' League In New York. In a public appeal, said: "Ex travagant living at this time will in flate prices and cause great suffer ing among the poor." The American Society for Thrift telegraphed to Mrs. Heath, as follows; "Every aid should he given the efforts of your organi sation to arouse housewives Immedi ately to reform the extravagant stand ards of living In the United States, and to return to simplicity and thrift I In the preparation for stress during the European war. The cost of living otherwise is certain to become Into! - I erable We welcome your aid In our I efforts for greater thrift.

Nettle gave him a cookie and he ate' It all up in one mouthful and Nettle’s mother said she dldq't think he had very good manners, hut Nettle petted his head and said she thought he could be taught better. He shook hands with them all and went away chattering as fast as he could. After lunch Nettle went up stairs to take her nap and her mother went down to the porch to read. Net tie went to sleep and dreamed she was giving pennies to the monkty and that he was shaking hands with her. When Nettle’s mother came up to tell Nettle It was time to wake up what do you think she saw on the bed beside Nettie? The monkey that had been there in the morning. He had climbed up on the vines that wp*e near the window and Jumped through the window Into the bed. They gave him something to eat and In a little while the man came and asked If they had seen his mon key. He had laid down to rest with the monkey tied to his arm and had fallen asleep. In some way the mon key had got loose and ran away. Net tle was sorry to see him go but I think her mother was very glad. mor© Intelligently. Household econ omy is a wholesome practice • • • be there war or no war. It is true that there Is less meat on the family table than ten years ago, but peo ple have begun to appreciate the value of vegetables and fruit.
