AUSTRIANS MUCH DEPRESSED B!
'■ MG RUSSIAN VICTORIES
Long Conferences Between Emperor Franz Josef and His
Minister. Extraordinary Reserve of the Newspapers.
Optimistic Utterances Cease.
Vienna, (10 p. m., via Paris, 11 a.
m.) —The news of Russia’s increas
ingly victorious occupation of eastern
Galicia is exercising a depressing in
fluence in Austro-Hungarian official
circles and among the more intelli
gent classes of the monarchy but up
to the present time the mass of the
people seem credulously willing to ac
cept as satisfactory the meagre bul
letins given out by the authorities.
They welcome eagerly any report
which seems half way encouraging.
Much Anxiety.
That anxiety is felt in higher cir
cles, however, is manifested by the
long audiences the ministers of the
dual monarchy are holding constantly
at Schoenbrunn with Emperor Francis
Joseph. There have been a number
of conferences since Friday with the
minister of war and the Austrian and
Hungarktn premiers.
The newspapers maintain an extra

America’s Distinction.
To The Herald:
One conspicuous lasting lesson of
the present European conflict is that
great honors and great wealth readily
change masters and eventually abide
where virtue, where industry and
where patience flourish most. Our
country is today a brilliant example
to the entire world of the wisdom of
exercising these Inestimable qualities,
so beautifully expemplified by our
honorable, admirable Chief Executive,
who is the embodiment of virtue, in
dustry and Under his guid
ance America is at the present mo
ment more truly than ever the per
sonification of liberty enlightening the
world —and this without arrogating to
ourselves any exclusive partnership
with the Great Ruler of the Universe.
What greater honors can accrue to
any government than to be universally
considered the most competent to con
duct diplomatic negotiations for the
embroiled nations and to be urged
from all quarters of the globe so to
do? What greater true wealth and
prosperity ran accrue than the re
wards of virtue, industry and patience
which are now offered to us from all
parts of both hemispheres? E. S.

To The Herald:
From the Christian era till the pres
ent time, as statists and historians
tell us, there have been less than 240
warless years. Up to the middle of
the nineteenth century it was rough
ly computed that nearly 7,000,000,000
men had died in battle since the be
ginning of recorded history, a num
ber equal to almost fife times the
present estimated population of the
globe. A -
A Lesson in Eoonomics.
To The Herald:
I made an unsuccessful attempt, a
f days ago, in a mixed companj,
to elicit some obection to a part of
my philosophy, by remarking that
“the earth belongs to those who got
here first.” No one dissented; no
one seemed to care a rap whether the
statement was true or false. I shift
ed my ground, mildly saying that “we
are all equally entitled to the use of
the earth.” Again there was no dis
sent. Aparently neither statement,
though one is the direct antithesis of
the other, would be challenged. You
can't have a gabfest without a discus-'
sion, so I made another attempt to
provoke it by saying: "Private prop
erty in land is absolutely indefensi
ble/’ And then we had it hot and
heavy.
Your columns are not spacious
enough to contain all the alleged rea
sons and puerile arguments that were
thrust upon me; but the substance
of them all was this, that whatever
existed for centuries must be right.
Maybe you would not grudge a few
lines to put the logic of my claim
squarely and bluntly. It is this: We
are all equally entitled to life. The
use of the earth is essential to life.
V>nd, therefore, we are equally entitled
To the use of the earth. The appro
priation of any part of it to individual
use without compensation to those
who are excluded (private property)
is a diminution and denial of the right
to life. Have your correspondents
grapple with this proposition. P. O. L.
Woman Suffrage In Georgia.
To The Herald:
I am glad to see that the women of
.Augusta are going to work actively
lor equal suffrage. The writer Is an
enthusiastic believer in woman's suf
frage. Before many years we shall
see it in effect in practically every
State In the Union. The entrance of
woman Into the political arena will
mean much for the purity of the bal
lot We shall see better office
holders elected than we see now,
there will he less vote buying than
ever before and this country will b*
a better place to live In.
The man who attempts to argue. Mr.
Kdltor, that women have no right to
vote should be ashamed of himself.
As for mv own individual self. I would
much rather trust my wife's Judgment
In many cases than my own. I say
shame should cover the man who con
tends that the woman who brought
him Into this world, who caressed his
Imby cheeks with the kisses of moth
er love, who taught his "Now I lay
me down to sleep," who watched over
Him with a tenderness and care that

ordinary reserve. Papers of Sunday,
September 13th, barely mentioned the
battle that is reported to have been
raging around Lemberg for the past
six days. The only Journal offering
any comment on the Lemberg situa
tion was the Neue Freie Presse, which
said:
“We can say nothing more than
that the high moral quality of the
Austrian and Hungarian troops must
eventually prove victorious.”
A telegram received in Vienna from
Budapest quotes the Hungarian min
ister of national defense as saying:
“We stand well. Our position
everywhere is good; more than this
I cannot say.”
The frequent optimistic utterances
of Count Stephan Tisza, the Hunga
rian premier, latterly have ceased,
and the official bulletins given out
in Budapest are silent regarding the
campaign against Servia.
times mother was an excellent school
teacher before she was married, a lit
erary woman, which is more than can
be said for you as a man, and yet she
is not good enough to vote. The most
ignorant and depraved species of man
in Augusta can go to the polls and
have his vote counted. Just the same as
the best citizen who inhabits our
community. The man w r ho opposes
woman’s suffrage is suffering from
an aggravated case of conceit. Ho
says, in effect, "I am entitled to vote,
but no woman is.” The fellow should
be pitied.
I am tired of hearing woman spoken
of as the weaker sex. She is not
weaker intellectually and she is cer
tainly far stronger than man morally.
It is no£ original with me but lets
say of her that she is of the more
"delicate persuasion” and lets help
her get the ballot in Georgia. H.
Wants Better Mail Service on Monte
Sano.
To The Herald:
Can something be done about the
poor mail service on Monte Sano? I
live on Central avenue and we get
our morning (?) mail any where be
tween 1 and 1:30 p. m. and after
noon delivery is made after 6 p. m.
We haven’t a single mail box on the
street, on Monte Sano, so if we hap
pen not to see the postman as he
passes, we have either to take our
mail to the Partridge Inn post office
or down town. After writing a let
ter I always place it outside the let
ter-box on the front porch in full
view of the street, where at a glance
the postman could see it, (as people
do the country over,) but unless
aforesaid postman happens to have
mail for me, he never collects out-go
ing matter. Then too, no matter how
small packages are, he absolutely re
fuses to take them, saying they are
not allowed to do it. In other cities
for instance, Atlanta, there are mail
boxes on almost every corner even in
suburbs, and somewhere in every

Russians Trying to Surround
Przemysl, Last Important
Stronghold In Galicia.
London, 10:15 a. m.—The military
stronghold of Pryzemysl, where the
Russian generals are endeavoring to
surround the Austrian and German
Galician armies is regarded by mili

CALOMEL MAY
HURT YOUR UVER
Every time you take this powerful
drug you are in danger. Take Dod
son’s Liver Tone instead. Calomel
is made from mercury, and while
mercury has many valuable uses, it
is a dangerous thing to swallow. If
calomel stays in the system very long
it salivates. Even when it works nat
urally, its after-effects are often bad.
Your druggist will sell you Dod
son’s Liver Tone, which is positive
ly guaranteed to take the place of
calomel. Liver Tone stimulates the
liver just enough to start it working,
and does not make you sicker than
ever—as calomel often does. You feel
good after taking Dodson’s and it
won’t force you to stop eating or
working after taking it. It is ad bene
ficial for children as for adults.
Try a large bottle for fifty cents un
der the guarantee that your moneS
will he given back cheerfully If you're
not satisfied.

CASCARETS CURE
HEADACHE, COLDS,
CONSTIPATION
To-night! Clean your bowels
and stop headache, colds,
sour stomach.
Get a 10-cent box.
Take a Cascaret tonight to cleanse
your Liver, Stomach and Bowels, and
you will surely feel great by morning.
You men and women who have head
ache, coated tongue, a bad cold, are
bilious, nervous, upset, bothered with
a sick, gassy, disordered stomach, or
have backache and feel all worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets—or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil?
Cascarets immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting food
and foul gases; take the excess bile
from the liver and carry off the con
stipated waste matter and poison from
the bowels.
Remember, a Cascaret tonight will
straighten you out by morning. A 10-
cent box from your druggist means
healthy bowel action; a clear head
and cheerfulness for months. I>on,'t
forget the children.

The Russian contention is that the
