The Working Girl.

The proprietor of The Independent
has lived long enough to witness
some remarkable changes in this
strange old world of evolution and
revolution. More astonishing than
all else, is the changed condition of
many of the white families of the
South. We see on the streets and in
the offices of bankers, merchants and
all sorts of professional men, the
daughters and granddaughter of
men and women who in their day
and time never knew the want of a
dollar or felt the pang of uneasy
hunger.
These girl children and grand
children are now among the bread
winners, toilers of the suffer-
ing masses of our once proud and
aristocratic country. These poor
girls not only toll by day and some
times far into the night for them
selves, but for the support and pro-
lection of their aged and helpless
parents. Many of these poor girls
have much Of the native pride and
more of the native intellect of their
noble ancestors. They are as proud
as they are poor, and as pure as they
are p1C1aDle.
On account of the extraordinary
tact and ability displayed in their va
rious responsible business positions,
some of these good women are we'll
rewarded for their services, but in
the main, they are poorly paid. The
humble positions held by many do
not warrant good wages and they are
only too glad to take what is offered
them.
Many of these children of necessi-
ty, are as frail as they are faithful,
and as industrious as they are trust
worthy. They are in head and heart

CA0 4oyd Servants OF Cn6lf employ
ers. While often tired, they are sell
dom tardy. They are as patient as
they are painstaking, as dutiful as
they are deserving. They never de-
ceive, they never betray, they seldom
complain, and when they do, it's like
a good woman does everything
mildly, modestly and meekly, moth
ing when preciated-alWays trust
ing when protected.
These poor, hard working, Inflated
children love books and newspapers,
but some of them are not really able
to pay for them and do for them
selves and their dependents all that
they should. 1t is for this reason
that the Macon Independent makes
the following announcement:
Every working girl or woman
Without regard to age, who will call
at the Macon Public Library and
register their name as a subscriber
to The Independent, will receive the
paper by mail or carrier for one year.
without money and without price.
These working women and girls
will not place themselves under any
sort of obligation by complying with
this request. On the contrary, The
Independent will feel more compli-
mented by each and every signature
that is added to the list of it's read
ers. If The Independent is able and
willing to render this slight service
TO what it believes to be a goodly
portion of Gods best creation,-the
working women of Macon,-then it's
our business and ours only.

public,-rich and poor alike, as he
has done for nine years, and largely
at his own risk and expense, he can
we'll afford to do the little he here
proposes for the benefit of the work.
ing women Of his city.
And We want it we'll understood,
that the proprietor of The Independ-
ent is not now engaged in a cheap
game of self-exploitation Not a bit
of it. He wants no private thanks,
and asks for no public recognition,
for what he has done in the past, or
for what he may do in the future.
Honors are easy all round.
He is simply stating a plain, stub
born fact-a fact we'll known to a
large number of Macon people-a
fact that perhaps should not be made
public, but fact nevertheless.
1t affords no pleasure to say some
of the things here stated, but to be
plain is to be understood; to be just,
is to be easy and independent; while
to be right, is to be free and happy,
and so long as we are living up to
our honest convictions, and doing
what We believe to be right, we are
as careless about private plaudits. as
we are Indifferent to public censure.

The enthusiasm which has been
aroused in the business world by the
work of Mr.. Eugene Anderson, of
Macon, Ca, since he became presi-
dent of the Georgia-Alabama Bust
ness College at that place two years
ago, is best shown by the following
opinion expressed by Mr.. J. o.
Hodges, the street railroad man of
Macon:
Il don't believe in waiting until
good citizen dies before we take no.
tice Of his usefulness" says Mr..
Hodges, MIR. Eugene Anderson is
in my opinion one of the most use
full men in Georgia today, and the
good effect of his efforts in behalf
of young men and young women will
be felt for generations after he is
gone. My son Bradford graduated
at the Gresham High School here
last year and was Immediately sent
to Mr.. Anderson to be trained for
business. 1 had known Mr.. Ander-
son for a quarter of a century, and
had been impressed by the great
business success of all of the young
people who came within his inf1u-
ence, but I did not realize what a
great educator he is until I knew
him through the work which he did
for my son. He became an authori-
ty on the subjects discussed by my
family around the hearthstone, and
his methods of instruction proved to
be startling in their simplicity and
effectiveness. No person of even or
binary intelligence could fail to
recognize the worth of such a man"

Neckwear,
Many beautiful shades, some never seen
before in the spectrum of mems regalia,
are launched this season. Many rich pastel
tones arc shown and the variety Of color
is SO great that no one color can be pointed
out as the predominating shade Of the sea-
son. The edicts approve hunters, reseda,
French and olive in the green's; then there
are dark tRns, stone blues, Atlantic and
peacock blues, wlsteria, hello and old rose.
Some of the very ultra new shades are
viola; a new shade OF pale hello, bullrush;
a pale sea-green, ~mignonette, mallard grey,
royal blue, delft blue, pompadOur rose,
Rose du Barry, cygnet grey and neopal.
The popular shapes in the neckwear
this season are the four-in-hands, ascots,

Hosiery.
1t is ordained this season that the
hosiery must still match the cravat in
color and this edict gives wide latitude for
choice as to the effects in color that you
may select from. The tendency seems to
be toward solid colors either plain or with
self clockings. Neat designs in stripes are
also well considered and accordion effects
will be much shown in the higher priced

monograms. The stiff bosom shirts and
negligees in madras, percades, cheviots and

and are shown In some very rich patterning
effects.
oxford basket weaves are also very fash
ionable and promise great popularity. As
to patterns, stripes of the more subdued
tone have the preference over the bold
stripes in vogue last spring. This season
there are also shown many cross bar eff
fects. Black and white treatments in mod
est stripes are quite the thing, Other
effects are blue and white stripes, pink
