following account of a new enterprise of Georgia women:
 Though Rome has been called the city of floods, it might as properly be termed the city of newspapers, for thswe is probably no city of it's size in the country that publishes as many newspa- pars, and all of them creditable and in- terssting publications.
 "A movemsmt has been on foot to es- tablish another newspaper in that city, and one to be owras1 and operated en- tirey by women, in the interest of wo- men. The success of the movement now seems assured, since Mrs. Beulah s. Moseley, who edits the Georgian. weekly paper in the inter st of women, applied yesterday for a charter granting petitioners the right to issue and pulp fish a daily newspaper in Rome. The stockholders are among the ablest and most prominent women in Georgia, and the first edition of the paper will be awaited with ksenest interest. Among the incorporators are Mrs. w. B. Lowe and Mrs. J. K. Ottley, of Atlanta; Mrs. J. Lindsay Johnson, Mrs. A. B. s. Nose ley, Mrs. Rowell Mrs. C. s. Sparks, Ms. John Printup, Mrs. s. S. King, Mrs. w. T. Cherry, Mrs Joe Prlntup, Mrs. A. R. Sullivan, Miss Letitia Johnson, and Mrs. Mary Adamson, of Rome.
 Mrs Beulah s. Moseley will be ths editor chief, which will at once estab- fish the success of the paper from. a Journalistic standpoint. As editor and proprietor of her own paper, th= Rome Georgian, she has done splendid work for the women of her state,

Bsn- jamn, LII. B., of Dunedin, New Zealand. Miss Benjamin obtained her degree last April, and her university record is one of unexampled distinction. She is only 22 years old. She graduated from the Girls High school in 1893, and graduated in law this year from Atago university, where she went for jurisprudence, con stitutional history and law. She also headed the list in Roman law, evidence and equity, respectively. It may be of interest to women students to note that Miss Benjamtm in reply ito a question about her health in her student days, stated Ehat she had given herself a uni- form allowance of nine or ten hours rest .srr1,+ 1xr bod l,saft N1ar1 1ln best.
