Every arrangement for the
great convention held by the

this information will be placed
before the Macon convention for
general consideration discussion
ard action.
1t is just such important mat
tiers as these that will make the
presence Of Georgians from
every section of the state impor-
tant and even imperative. The
matter of bringing in only the
very best in migrants for set
tiers aud laborers to correct the
recent scarcity of labor, and to
settle and develop lands which
are now lying idle are of vital
and personal interest to every
good citizen. The Association
needs the experience and sug-
gestions of farmers, merchants,
manufacturers-of every one at
this Macon convention who can
possibly attend-that every
county and locality may be rep.
resented by those who really
know the prevailing conditions
in their own territory.
The Immigration Association
wishes to particularly thank the
Georgia press, including this
publication, for their generous
cooperation. It has resulted 10
acceptances which prove that
this section will be represented.

about him that appeals to a woman's
love of comfort, and that gives her a

which springs from a combination OF
easy circumstances and the artistic

woman should prefer as lover and as

strength of the appeal which he makes
to those whom he at any time may
meet 1t keeps him young and makes
him pleasant company. Moreover, his
bringing up and his surroundings nave
necessarily been the sort Of bringing
up and the sort of surroundings that
give refinement, intelligence, tolerance,
a large experience with men and
women, an acquaintance with the
niceties of social usage, and a. knowl-
edge of good form.
WORRIES OF THE SMALL INCOME.
The man who has been obliged to
work hard for whatever he possesses,
and who is obliged, also, to think of
every dollar that he spends, is differ
ent sort Of man, as a rule, because of
the pressure upon him of responsible
ity. He is apt to be often preoccupied,
he has duties and tasks that must be
performed at particular times, and his
pleasures and recreations must always
be subordinated to the serious work
of his life, which is money-getting.
4 furthermore, because his nose is held
so continually upon the grindstone, and
because his life is SO cramped and re-
stricted as to make his intercourse
with his fellow men less free, he Is
almost certain to be narrower men,
tally, less tolerant, less spontaneous,
and more calculating than the other.
Now, when these two men both love
the same woman and pay her court,
which is likely to win? Naturally, the
man who has the command of money;
and not at all because the woman in
question thinks about the money, but
simply because he can make himself so
pleasing to her. He is more apt than
the other. as I have shown, to have the
little graces and accomplishments
which go very far toward winning any
woman's favor; and in the next place,
his courtship of her viii be much freer,
it will have SO much more color and
interest in it, than that of his poor
rival.
THE ADVANTAGE OF MONEY.
To begin with, a girl likes the lover
who can be always at her beck and
call; who can make all his engage
ments wait on hers; who can throw
over anything at a moments notice
to come to her when she wants. him,
and who, therefore, can give her that
sense of possession which is very dear
to the feminine heart. The other
sutton can do nothing of the kind. His
time is not his own, and so he cannot
give it to her in answer to any stray
caprice. He is tied hand and foot by
his business or his profession, and al
though his fidelity to his toll ought to
be counted for him, it counts, as a
matter of fact, against him; for a. wo-
man resents, even though unconscious
Iy anything like rivalry-in other
words, anything that interferes with
her own wishes, whether it be another
woman or whether it be merely an
occupation. For, at any rate, it is
something that gets in her way, and
she does not like it.
Then. again, the sutton who is not
obliged to think about money is much
more agreeable as a sutton. He Is
always ready Just at the proper mo-
ment with the gift of flowers, or the
dainty little souvenir, or the box at the
theater, or the exquisitely ordered
little dinner He is always dashing
about in cabs. He is always ready to
call the nearest hanson. He does not
