Dear Miss Thomas: VIII you admit another

thing nice by calling on the Household page.
Our celebration Is TO be old timey one.
and we are expecting a real nice time. think
they are nice to help keep the church and Sun
day school interesting and in good spirits. This
Household page has been so much help TO my
husband and myself II we not doing our
duty some things. certain 20 see some
thing concerning our duty the things we have
neglected. Those that write such good letters
must write oftener Surely you do not realize
bow much good you are doing the whole eoun-
try. But let's not air jump poor Holly Leaf
and try 20 make her more miserable than she
SAYS she Is. I can't believe she loves her
husband at all. She had best seek the love Of
the Blessed Comforter. and try 10 forget she
ever had any single days. II they cause her so
much trouble. Dear Holly Leaf. you must re-
work 10 do. I wouldn't know what TO do with

TEMPERANCE
NOT FOR CHICAGO

CHICAGO. ILL.,. Aug. 4.-Cardinal Gibbons,
head Of the Roman Catholic church in the
United States and recognized as hearty sup
porter Of the cause of temperance, last night
declared that enforced temperance in Chicago
and other leading cities would be impracticaDle.
The revocation of all selling licenses, he de-
clared, would result in surreptitious sale OF
liquor.
His eminence expressed these views Just he
fore leaving Chicago after having been in the
city for hours.
~ am heartily in sympathy with the total
abstinence movement" Cardinal Gibbons said.
at is a wide movement, and ] hope II will
spread to the most remote corners Of the ma
tion. In the rural parts of the country and In
the smaller towns and cities there is every
sign that the agitation is gaining foothold
which eventually must mean success and wide
spread prohibition. However much am in
favor Of total abstinence, l feel that in she
larger cities, such Chicago, 1t would prove
impracticable, and IL laws providing for the
revocation OF licenses were enforced In these
cities | fear the result would be the surrep-
titoGs sale of liouor.
THE problem Is which will require much
time and the best efforts of our legislators an0
statesmen TO solve, but judging from the re-
suits already obtained. l and everyone cannot
but feel that the total abstinence movement
is going on toward successful end"

FRUIT EXCHANGE
SHIPS 2,O62 CARS

The Georgia Fruit exchange issued a
statement Tuesday, showing the number
of cars of peaches shipped from the state
during the past season, and the various
markets entered There were 2,O62 cars
shipped, and they went into 81 different
markets.
When the trustees meet in September
they will receive financial statement
and an audit by expert accountants. A
net income over the expenses both of OPP
Grafton and of organization. which was
considerable, will be shown. When the
matter of reorganization comes up in Sep
temper it is expected that the cantaloupe
growers of Florida, Georgia and South
Carolina, as well as the melon growers,
will be asked to cooperate.
That there was some opposition to the
exchange on the part of some New York
commission houses is admitted, but this
is considered natural in view of the fact
that under the exchanges plan of distri-
button, New York did not have mo-
nopoly of the shipments, as 1t has had
in the past without organization. In this
connection. Manager Fleming says:
AZ PER CENT IN NEW YORK.
1.-The management of the exchange is
pleased to be able to say that in its opin-
ion this opposition does not extend be-
ter's opposition is easily explained in the
statement attached, which shows that
less than AZ per cent of the crop was
handled In New York, and a fair estimate
of the +. o. b. portion of the $50 cars
would no doubt be so per cent. It is not
believed that the opposition to the ex-
change in New York extends to all of the
selling agents, for the reason that II
would have been natural to expect that
the houses would have resigned the agen-
cy rather than occupy the position of
disloyalty to the other party of the con-
tract. So 1t would appear to be the
course of wisdom on the part of the ex-
change to ignore certain rumors. and
pursue the even tenor of our way until
such time as 1t becomes advisable to take
up the reorganization work.
Following is the exchanges statement
showing total number of cars shipped, the
markets, and the number of cars received
in each market:

Learn to Swim
Baltimore Sun.

The accidental drowning of five girls i'm
the Hackensack river, New Jersey, Fri
Gay, when a gust of wind upset a row.
boat. in which they were crossing, and
the multitude of similar accidents every
summer, call attention to the Importance
Of learning to swim. Girls can swim as
well as boys. and every girl ought to
find opportunity to learn how. In the
Hackensack river case the three men es-
capped because they could swim, but the
young women all went to the bottom. To
women who have not learned to swim the
old injunction. Don't go near the
water" is wise and infallible. But some
time or other every woman runs the risk
Of getting spilled in deep water. and for
that mishap she needs a little knowledge
and practice in swimming. A very little
OF this knowledge goes a long way. 1t
prevents persons from getting terrorized
and enables them to keep afioat or get
TO a boat, plank or oar. The best time
TO learn is when a child, and in the sum-
mer. Once learned. the art is never for
gotten.

GALLERIES WILD
OVER PROHI BILL

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 3.-Wher
the prohibition bill passed today there
were wild scenes enacted in the galleries
and on the floor.
The first struggle of the present extra
session came today in the debate on the
Carmichael bill, a basis measure for d
chain of prohibition bills to be enacted
this session. 1t had been set as a spe-
cial order for the day and the galleries
were filled when the clerk called it up.
PROVISIONS OF BILL.
The bill provides that there shall be
no sale or manufacture of intoxicants
in Alabama, or any beverage containing
over one-half of / per cent alcohol.
1t shall not be kept in clubs and dis
tTibuted to members as a regular thing;
all classes of drinks like near-beer, mop
jack, hop weiss and the like are in
terdicted, and every kind of violation
under the act is infinitely described so
that the courts cannot be mistaken. Con-
viction may be followed by fine of $50
- $500. with six months hard labor, at
the discretion of the court. like amount
being possible under each offense.
PLACES OF SUSPICION.
Places of reputed violation may be
reached by injunction secured by officers
or citizens of the chancery court, by
which doors can be closed and the bur-
zen OF PROOF put upon tne dCCuSeu "
establish innocence. Places of suspicion
may be declared a nuisance in the same
way and closed up, and in every case the
possession of a United States license to
sell is prima facie evidence Of guilt.
Liquor men, under advice of attorneys,
believe that the bill will stop sale of in
toxicants and close up every -club other
than those of purely social nature, cut
ting out from the real social organiza-
lions systematic distribution Of drinks.
Any clob breaking the laws will have
It's charter taken away, having agreed
prior to being chartered that it will not
sell or give away liquor in its rooms.
ENTHUSIASM IN GALLERIES.
There were scenes of greatest enthusi-
asm in the galleries which were filled
with women and prohibition workers from
all parts of the state. Speaker Carmi-
chael closed for the bill and in an impas-
stoned conclusion said that not only would
this bill but the constitutional measure
and all the other bills now pending pass
as well. as a result of whcih there was
randemonium in the house. both on the
floor and in the galleries.
Agents for the prohibition forces at once
took the names of the opponents of the
measure and by tonight will have letters
out to workers in their counties to gel
them in line for the rest of the bills.

SCHOOLS ARE GIVEN
A QUARTER MILLION

Mr. Joe Hill Halls battle Wednesday
afternoon to hold all educational appro-
priations down to the old figures was
successful so far as the first skirmishes
were concerned, and he was victorious
against the recommendation of the APP
preparations committee-in keeping the
University of Georgia maintenance fund
at S325O0, the Georgia Psychological main
tenance fund at $4,000, the State Agricul-
tural college $4,000, ETC., all along the
line, but when the smoke of battle rolled
away at D.. m. Mr.. Hall had to recog-
nize himself as temporarily defeated. for
the house had voted to add a quarter Of
a million dollars to the common schools
appropriation for ISL
The common school appropriation for
1910 was fixed at s2.225.0O0. just where 1t
was before.
The common school appropriation for
1911 was raised from s2,225,OO0 to $780,
900.
Possibly the hardest fought feature OF
the educational appropriations was the
question of raising the Georgia Tech"
maintenance fund from $4,000 to $4,000.
Mr. Wright of Floyd made a ringing
speech, which showed evidences of
thoughtful preparation, arguing that a
chronological institution was of more
value in the material development of
state than a classical institution, because
it was a maker of industrial citizens
Money appropriation for such g. purpose,
he said, was a strictly economic invest
ment bound to yield heavy interest in
increasing the efficiency of the sons Of
Georgia as builders of a greater COM
monwealth. He did not disparage higher
or literary education. but confined his
comparisons to questions of its respec-
lively inferior economic value. He
thought the Tech" should be supported
up to the hilt."
Mr. Anderson of Chatham was one OF
the warmest advocates of the public
school quarter million increase for 1911.
He said the committee had already pared
that item down to just as low a figure
as possible, and he begged the house.
for the sake Of the school systems fu-
ture to make no further cut; he asked
that a point be strained, II necessary.
Mr.. Hall made his fight on the ground
of keeping up consistently all along the
lines the. reductions that had beenl be-
gun. He said the development OF the
public schools was reaching its limit. and
that the people were getting more schools
than they could send their children to.
When the public school increase was
voted Mr.. Hal, gave notice that he would
move for a reconsideration of the other
educational appropriations.
