we're one gentleman and two women

tree. The impact was so terrific that
the trunk Of the tree was snapped
right OFF as though 1t had been cut
down with an ak. All four occupants
we're thrown several yards away into

One OF the women was, severely cut

When Main Line policeman reached
the scene of the accident and offered
assistance he found the whole party
dazed and unable scarcely to relate
how the accident happened. It was
finally drawn from the chauffeur that
he had dropped asleep while driving
the machine, and offered as an excuse
for IT that he had been on the go two
nights and two days without any rest.

The souTH's NEED OF LABOR.

The South is not particular
whether the labor supply it needs
is furnished by other countries,
but it realizes that field workers
must be obtained somewhere to
take the places of the thousands
of negroes who have abandoned
the farms and plantations. There
is abundant evidence that negro
labor is no longer satisfactory or
reliable and that it is becoming
less so every year. The cOncensus
of opinion among persons who are
competent to speak as authorities
on the subject is that the cotton
grower of the South must look else
where than to the negroes for labor.
The objection to the introduction
of white labor in the South on the
ground that it will deprive the
negroes of all opportunity to work
and that they will become a burden
and a menace to the peace of the
country is worthyof consideration,
but should such an objection be
allowed to stand as bar to needed
immigration and to the progress
and prosperity of the South? Shall
ruin be brought to our agricultural
interests, and our farms and plan
tations be abandoned because the
negroes will not work, but flock to
the cities and towns where they
live in idIeness and have already
become burdens ON the cOmmuni-
ties. Work is the price that every
man must pay for existence, and
the negroes of the South must be
made to understand this fact. If
they will not work, their places
must be given to men who are
willing to furnish the labor supply
without which all progress will be
halted and the whole South given
over to financial and industrial
decay.

GEORGIA DOES HERSELF HONOR

The President has paid his long
promised visit TO the Empire State
of the South, the state of his
maternal ancestry, and every Geor-
gian is proud of the magnificent
reception accorded the nations
chief executive and proud like
wise that the honors shown the
distinguished visitors were fully
and thoroughly appreciated by
them. Never in her history has such
an ovation been given one as greet
Ell Mr.. Roosevelt in Atlanta on
Friday. No crowned head of
Europe would or could have re-
cieved greater homage than did
this staunch, plain, broadminded,
thorough American, who is so
universally admired by his peo-
pie, South as well as North, regard
less of party affiliations. He is in
deed the "Strenuous Teddy" but
this only heightens admiration and
serves as a magnet to draw people
to him; those who admire his cour-
ageOus franknessa and blunt honesty.
His stay in Atlanta was most
pleasant. Nearly quarter mil
lion Georgians, some of whom,
doubtless, had known his sainted
mother, welcomed the illustrious
son there and made him feel in
deed that he was in the house of
his friends. Every feature of the
reception was absolutely perfect,
and Georgia congratulates that
brightest gem in her corhnet- Allan
ta-thereupon. Mis-. Roosevelt,
too, was paid distinguished honors
in a reception rendered by Mrs.
Governor Joseph NJ. Terrell at
the executive mansion, whore
hundreds greeted "the first lady
of the land" and babe her welcome
to the Sunny South. The coming
of the President to Georgia, the
opportunity afforded him of visit
ing his moth RS old home and
meeting there the friends of her
girlhood; the opportunity of meet
ing and knowing other Georgians
to the manor born, will strive to
strengthen the ties Of esteem and
high regard which Georgia and
the entire South holds for Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience, Advises Women In
Regard to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman
of 55 Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. j., who is a
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia, and for
six years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter

the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. 1t is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs, Pohlman writes:
