Female Suffrage.

Atlanta, Feb. 16.-Mrs. Gov.-Atkin-
son has made a response to the claims
Of the late Female Suffrage Convention
that will not be cherished by Susan B.
Anthony. She says:
II have been impressed with the fact
that many of those who %sympathize
with the suffrage movement discuss it
in a spirit which is neither becoming to
them o helpful to their cause. It is
folly to try to make sensible people
believe that women are white slaves
and men are their masters. 1t is untrue
and unfair to aliude to men as though
they are the oppressors of women. and
are wilfully and maliciOusly d%epriving
my experience confirms this belief, that
and women are not natural enc
mics but are natural friends, and in
fact are the best of friends.
"This question by. those advocating
woman suffrage is misstated when they
ask for equal rights for women
exercise a greater number of rights-a
few of which are u%nequaled in response
bility by any that lei hold. Men and
women may have equal rights and yet
not possess the same rights. Women
are exempt from poll tax, from liability
to work upon the public roads, from
jury duty, from military service, while
the law guarantees to them equal right
to own and hold property, and in manv
respects their property rights are
superior to those of men. IF men and
women are to have the came rights,
ought not the same liability be placed
upon each, including liability to all
those duties enumerated above from
which women are now exempt, includ-
ing military serviceq When the wo-
men of Georgia earnestly desire to vote
the men will not stand in their way. If
the day comes when the women feel
ask for it, and should this time come in
Georgia there will be as many men as
women who will advocate bestowing
the right of suffrage upon them.n

THE ENTHUSIASTIC INVENTOR.

When novice conceives an improve
ment, or what purports to be useful
invention, a feeling of independence
takes possession of him which complete
ly changes his individuality. He inn
mediately imagines himself worth
thousands of dollars and looks upon
the laboring man coming home with
his dinner pail, after toiling hard all
day, with glance of pity. Only few
more days, he AYERS, and he can safely
place a stack of crisp bills in the mat
tress. The house in which he lives is
now too small, inconvenient and unfit
for a man of his means. Better quar-
ters are sought, engaged and moved to.
The idea that he has been without a

RESPECT THE AGED.

We have very big lesson to learn,
we big people in this big country.
And we must begin at the beginning
and that is, to cultivate patience with
those who are older than ourselves.
True respect is born of patience. IT
God has placed in our keeping some
aged soul for us to nourish and pro-
tect until He sees fit to take the spirit
to Himself we should do it, and not
alone do it cheerfully and willingly,
but unremittingly, no matter what the
sacrifice to ourselves may be, no matter
what strain it entails upon our patience.
We must not forget that day may
and probably will come to us when we
shall be old; when the mind will not be
so quick to perceive and the under
standing not SO ready to absorb. And
as we minister to those who are in our
keeping now, our ministrations shall
be seen by those following close behind
who some day will minister to us.
The years go by very quickly and the
position of the young and the old is
soon reversed. Then we shall fully re-
alize what loving touch, what little
acts of kindness, what constant pres
ence, what true consideration and re-
spect mean to an aged soul! The atten-
tions which the aged sometimes de-
mand may be little exacting at times.
But let us rejoice that we are given an
opportunity to return some considera-
tion to the life from which we sprang,
and in part to measure the blessings
which were poured upon us night and
day when we were helpless. Nothing
that can come into the memory of man
or woman can be more precious than
the remembrance that, when we had
the opportunity, we did all we could
do, in respect, love and tenderness, for
| those who preceded us into this life
| and who have preceded us into a greater
life to come. They welcomed us to
this earth; we bade them farewell from
it. But they will welcome us again,
: and our welcome there will be much in
5 the way as we bade them farewell here.
+ We live here now, but not for always
And the more tender our farewell OF
them the more loving will be their
). welcome of us.-Edward w. Box in
q Ladies Home Journal.

THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

At the close of period of depression
such as the country has just passed
through, the question of helping those
whose store has been depleted and ex-
hausted is even more serious and I'M
portant than at any other period OF the
general strain. We have good reasons
to hope now for the first time for several
wears that the tide of prosperity is again
on the flood and that common woe will
soon be transformed into common veal,
hut we are indeed Indifferent to our
surroundings if we are not impressed
with the condition of those who, during
these long, weary months, have had no
sources of revenue and have eked out
a bare subsistence with Heaven knows
what. Taking it for granted that we
are not Indifferent, but that In our an
ticipation of more prosperous condl-
tions we are solicitous for the welfare
of those whose lines are not so auspi-
ciously cast in the path of the return
ing flood. we are confronted by the prob
lem how to give wise and intelligent
aid to all who are in want and how to
give that aid so that the worthy shall
benefit. without loss to their self-respect,
so that pauperism shall be diminished
instead of increased and so that the
viciously idle and dishonest, the drOnes
of society, shall be prevented from fat
tening on the bread that should go to
wOrthier mouths.
Experience has shown that indis-
,criminate aims giving promotes pau
perism. Emotional charity, the giving
that is actuated by pity provoked by
touching tale of woe, does more harm
than good and works indirectly an in
Justice on the worthy poor who are not
so aggressively eloquent concerning
their sufferings and their needs. AT
the present stage Of civilization charity
has become a science, and not only the
case of want in hand, but the effect Of
the matter of relief of that particular
case in hand, on society as a whole
must be considered by those who wisl
to do good intelligently and wisely. Al
it is impossible for every charltabl.
disposed individual to spend the TIM
that is necessary to properly investi
gate every case of want that come
within his or her personal horizon, OF
ganizations have been created to sup
ply that want and to act as intelligen
agencies of good between those VIII
are in position to help and those b
whom help is needed. Such an institu
ton exists in Minneapolis, than whic
there is no better, more helpful or NOR

in few days four stalwart men are

When the last trumpet sounds, when
the living and dead, the clean and the
unclean, the good and the bad of all
mankind who ever dwelt on earth are
gathered together, each in the flesh,
then the Recording Angel shall open
his book and the dire moment Of final
Judgment has come. So the best theo-
logians and divines assert, so the Good
Book attests, and so, no doubt, shall it
be. The angel will announce the
name of the person, and he or She
will step forward to receive sentence.
Now, have you ever thought what the
result will be when the angel calls out
the name of John Smith? Every tenth
man, doctors, lawyers, actors, clergy
men. gamblers, and even he of Poca-
hontas fame, will step forward, and
then what mixture Will it be John
Smith, late of saltwater, or John
Smith, captain of legion in Caesars
army? Will it be John Smith OF
the last legislature, or John Smith
able seaman from the bottom of old
Ocean? How will each man know
his name? But, no doubt, that will al
be arranged, and as the troop of John
| Smiths file away on either hand, some
to receive harp and the accompanying

fork, then each man will come to hi'
own, DEBSY.

the country, and the good that it has
done not only in relieving cases OF
want and destitution, but in suppress
ing the tramp nuisance and in prevent
ing pauperism passes all competition.
The Associated Charities is catholic
in its plan and broad in its scope, and
it has grown to be one of the chief
agencies for good in the city. From a
small and unpretentious beginning it
has grown equally with the most ad-
vanced charitable organizations of the
older cities of the East, until now the
deductions and statistics of its manage
ment are considered of paramount i'm
portance and value by the leading
scientific authorities on charity. The
Times has always taken a great deal of
interest in the work of this organiza-
ton, and is now pleased to say that it
considers 1t entitled to the most liberal
and enthusiastic support that can be
given, not only for it's past perform
ances, but for the work that it is con-
stantly doing and for the broad-guaged
and intelligent reformative plans it has
marked out for the future. The man
ager of the Charities, A. E. Fey, is a
man who has proven himself most
emnently fitted for his position, and a
student of the subject of charity whose
work is bound to be wise and advanced
He has won the confidence of all who

HINTS.

Don't worry and fret as you go thro' life.
When things don't come your way;
For it does no good in this world of strife
And you'll find it out some day.
Don't get discouraged every time
Adversely may frewh;
For the hill you find so hard to cllmb
Will be easy going down.
Don't pick at the faults along the road,
With never a word to say
That will send some heart with its merry load.
Lighter on its way;
But make your aim and endeavOr kind.
And ever good word lend:
For maybe some day you will find
You'll want just such friend.
When the road grows rough and storms betlde
And clouds obscure the sky,
Don't snap and Snarl and at Fate chlde,
And say. mo use to try"
But bend to your task and strive again;
O'ercome and down despair.
And you'll get to the top and find that tnen
Success will meet you there.
Make ali your deeds of good intent.
And wear a pleasant smile;
Speak words of kindness and content,
Tho YOUR heart be sad the while,
You'll find it's best and will always pay
To make some path more bright;
And you'll find in the end it's the only way
To make your own load light.

that of England. Knowing that such
a state of affairs would result in evil
in America, as it had done in England,
Jefferson was eager to change the re-
lations existing between the different
classes of society. He urged that
justice be meted out; that men be
treated everywhere alike; and that
there be no favored classes among the
people. This principle of equality
characterized every sentiment and
action, and which was expressed in
that sublime truth call men are created
equal" had not been taught since the
days of Christ and the Apostles: and it
had been lost to all statesmen and law
makers for over decade of centuries;
it had been buried in the ruins so long
that it could not rise itself But, as
the foundation OF the government was
being laid, we see the builders clear
away the rubbish from the ruins OF
fallen empires, dig up the last stone,
cut away it's roughness, and make it
! the chief corner stone of republic
whose principles of civil and religious
liberty were destined to win the ad-
mlration and gratitude of nations yet
unborn. Without pursuing further
the principles of this illustrious man,
let us turn our attention to the most
prominent act of his life-the purchase
of Louisiana, which then included six
teen of our western states. He saw
the English policy of acquiring territory
and her great possessions lying along
our northern border and knew that
English statesmen were watching
Louisiana with jealous eye, and he
had no doubt but that these men would
succeed in getting possession of it in
short time; however, one serious diff
