You will note that, in one of them, a lady mis-

For the Consideration of the Lay

THOUSANDS of fine men are taking part in
the Layman's crusade; but it is also true that
thousands of these wealthy merchants and
manufacturers are grinders of the faces of the
poor. They are nightly wrought up because
Of the millions of people in this world who
profess a different religion from theirs; but
they see nothing wrong In keeping wages so
low that they don't give girl the chance to

employer beats a woman down to S. a week,
at time when rents and food and clothing
are the highest ever known, he can't be ig
norant of the fact that he is contributing to
her ruin
For such man to dress like lord, attend
Layman's banquet, and pirate about ''The
World for Christ, in this generation, is
enough to set all hell to laughing.

The Columbus Inquirer-Sun is
Badly Mistaken
A FRIEND sends me page of the above
named paper, in which its Atlanta CORE
spondent attacks me "along the usual lines"
In other words, the correspondent accuses
Yours truly of being an unmitigated liar. IF
my memory serves me right, no one has ever
succeeded in proving tt0t although good
many sangune men have tried it,
Here is the story: In 1905 [ was travelling
for my health in Virginia, and that cheerful
individual, John Sibey, was my travelling
companion. Had had a serious spell of sick
ness, and was quite debilitated We fell in
with Hon. Evan P. Howell at Roanoke, Va;
and snapped Jokes with that unrivaled r0c0ro-
teur. He mentioned Holze Smiths candidacy
for the governorship, and named consider
able number of men who were not going to
support him. I listened with interest, but
did not commit myself. John and / went on
our way toward Washington City. [ think
it was while we were eating dinner at the St.
James Hotel, that | made the remark to John
which kicked up such racket afterwards.
Inasmuch as the Legislature then in session
was absolutely subservient to the Joe Terrell
Clark Howell bunch, it was clear to my mind,
that, If Clark acooNd influence 1t to disfra,a-
chise the negro, Hoze would be left with his
heels up in the air. This was the thought
which [ expressed to John, and which seemed
to strike him as fine suggestion. He said to
me eagerly, "Write to Clark and tell him
that" My answer was, "No [ can't do that;
but y0u can do it if you like"
| have not refreshed my recollection by
looking at any of the old papers carrying the
controversy of 1906, but feel sure that there
is no material difference between this account
of the matter and the statement made by me
then.
Afterwards, Clark Howell claimed that
what [ said to John, and the invitation which
[ wrote him to visit me at our mountain home
in Virginia, committed me to his support. Of
course, it didn't do anything of the kind In
fact, my letter of invitation for Clark to pay
me personal uisit, in Virginia, was side
stepping of what understood to be his re-
quest for political conference, in Atlanta.
There is absolutely no conflict between what
I said on this subject in 1906, and what I
have to say now.
The issue of veracity was, not whether I
had made such remark to John Sibley, but
whether [ had made it in such way as to
commit me to the support of "my dear Clark"

to see me in Virginia to urge me to support

STARVING BABES IN LITTLE f
Secretary George II. Brown Gives Humane Officer
w. NJ. Rankin as Authority for the State
ment-Twenty- three Deserted Wives
Reported.

The secretary of the Board of Trade, Geo. r.
Brown, having made the statement yesterday that
there children in Little Rock starving to
death, called on this afternoon to verify his
remark.
That's not difficult for me to do said Mr.
Brown. 81 had a call yesterday from Mrs H. L.
Remmel and Mrs. Harry H. Foster for the pur-
pose of going that very subject and to see
if something cannot be done that will alleviate
this distress. For months past the Humane So
ciety has been doing a grand and noble work,
but it is without funds and the fact of the matter
is the people do not understand the situation"
But what about the starving children" asked
the Democrat representative.
AS to the Children.
II was coming to that" continued Mr.. Brown.
Don't doubt for minute that haven't the facts
in the case, and I only hope you will give pub
1city to it. What I want to see is the Humane
Society given enough funds by the county and
city to pay it's operating expenses. 1t is PROPOSE
ton that should take precedence over almost
everything else; if the city and county would
arrange to care for the fixed expenses I am sure
the general public would come to the relief With
children starving at our doors we ought to give
home missions the right of way over foreign mis-
sions Now as proof of what stated in regard
to the children starving in Little Rock, want to
submit to you a letter the ladies left with me-,
and Mr.. Brown handed to the Democrat repre-
sentative letter from w M, Rankin, the officer
of the Humane Society, to Mrs. H. L. Remmel,
from which the following is taken:
"Since the 9th of June have had twenty-three
women to call at my office who had been deserted
by their husbands, leaving them with from one TO
four children to provide for. To be exact about
it, there have been ffty-one little helpless chill
dren left the mercy of the people Of Little Rock
and Argenta to be cared for by any who
would help them. l have found homes for seven
teen of them and arrested nine of the men who
heartless to desert them; they have
been fined and part of the money secured in this
way turned over to the mothers for their support
II informed that there are thousands of
dollars leaving the city of Little Rock every month
for foreign missions. I only wish I could con-
vince the people that there are more than one
hundred helpless children actually starving to
death in the city of Little Rock for the want of
food; maybe they would be willing to help the
cause"

A LILAC TRIMMED HAT.

There is certainly no monotony in the styles of hat trimming this season and any vagary will be acclaimed a hit" One striking black hat has a row of lilacs around the crown, not laid decorously aroun the lower part of the crown and resting on the brim but the stems of the flowers are fas tened to the upper edge of the crown, making a close row all around the hat The flowers droop downward. the tips of the blossoms reaching to the brim. A bow of lilac or black vel vet may be placed at one side.

When yolks of eggs are to be put away to be used at a later time, beat them we'll and add a little cold water This will prevent the thick scum forming on the top If the yolks. are to be used for salad dressing, the water must not be added. There are many ways in which leftover yolks can be used. They can be made into salad dressing and kept in a cold place until used. By adding a couple of whole eggs they can be used in an omelet or made into a custard pie.
