NTER ye in at the strait gate.
~ This is the first recorded in
vitation of Christ to the people
at large to enter into the new
kingdom 1t was an invita-
tion with warning. The word strait means
narrow. At first sight it seems to be n
singular thing that the teacher of new
religion should hedge its entrance about
with difficulties. Certainly it is an ex-
pedient to which no imposter would have
resorted. Indeed, this has been one OF
the objections to Christianity in all the
past. 1t is one with which we are too
familiar today. You Christians are mar
row will ever be the taunt OF the pleas
ure-loving world.
There is a sense in which the charge is
true But in the same sense it is true of
all excellence Men are constantly seeking
TO make the entrance into the high posi-
tons OF earth more narrow.
Science insclibes over its doorway:
"Strait i the gate that leadeth TO the
knowledge of our my sterles. This is
true OF the law Of medicine and of sue
cess in every department of life. The
kingdom of heaven is the highest excel

HOT DOG IN VERY TRUTH.
Man Masticating Succulent Sausa-
gette Bit on License Tag.

G. E. Sewright of Los Angels, Cal,
ate wienerwurst, commonly known
as "hot dog" in Los Angeles res
taurant the other day, and at the
same time solved the mystery of the
disappearance of Miss Bells Scotch
terrier.
In the wienerwurst that Sewright
was masticating with great pleasure
was the tag of Miss Bells dog, No.

one of his molars crunched something
metallic. He examined the little
piece of metal and saw it was dog
license tag. Then the police were
called in to quell the riot. Miss Bell
said that she lost the dog few weeks
ago.
Sewright has forsworn wieners,
and Miss Bell has cancelled the re-
ward she offered for her dog.

$4,000 MAY LOSE BALLOT
NEW REGISTRATION LAW WILL
DTSFRANCHISE MANY VOTERS.
Lack of Hot State Campaign Is
in Part Responsible For the
Voters Apathy.

ADVANTAGEOUS from an even
100 counties in Georgia show that
the approximate registration on
March LIST or thereabouts was 1911
1863, as against a total registration
in the same counties for 1908, the
last political year, of 195,648.
This information is of interest and
Importance in view of the fact that
the registration lists, under the new
law, close on April 9Th, and no per-
son registering after that date can
participate in any general election
held in the, state this year. This in
cludes both primaries and regular
elections for governor, state house
officers, congressman, mem 3ers of the
general assembly and OF ers..
This indicates shortage of IA
600 in 100 counties as compared with
1908; or a shortage of approximately
00,0G0 for the entire state. Within
the last few days, however, registra-
ton has been pushed rapidly, as a
result of newspaper agitation and
knowledge of the fact that the regis
tration books close six months in ad-
vance of the general election, which
has gradually permeated to remote
rural sections of the state.
$4,000 to Lose Votes.
The probabilities are, therefore,
that this shortage will be cut down
materially, though those who have
been closely watching the situation
are of the opinion that there will be
at least $4,000 fewer voters regis
tered for this years elections than
was the case in 1908 when the cam
paign was on between Ex-Governor
Smith and Governor Brown.
There is no campaign ON now to
stimulate registration, and the aver
age voter must register simply as a
matter of public duty; but should. ex-
citing things develop in the state po-

of opportunity for it-there will be

Ex-Governor Smith has issued a

matter of exercising his right to
suffrage.

Many County Primaries.

Numerous Georgia counties are
getting ready to hold their primaries
in April, May and June, and to nomi-
nate at the same time members of
the general assembly, despite that
1t has been pointed out that any
member of the legislature nominated
otherwise than in the general pri-
mary will be in danger of losing his
seat.
The new primary law forbids the
holding of a general primary longer
than sixty days in advance of the
general election. Under this law the
general state primary will have to be
held after August 9Th, and it is con-
sldered that any nomination of mem
bers of the general assembly, prior
to that time, will be illegal.
Some of the counties which have
had their attention called to this
matter have arranged to defer the
nomination of representatives and
senators, though they still insist up
on holding their primaries for county
officers : and getting that business
done with. This is usually done at
the instance of the county officers
themselves who are anxious to have
their affairs settled as early in the
year as possible, after which they
can take things easily.
The state executive committee
hardly will meet before June, where
as heretofore it has been in the habit
of meeting in the early spring. But
the days of early primaries are over,
and there is no longer necessity for if
1t is desirable to allow ample mar
gin of time between the primary and
the election, and speculation now
puts the primary date at about the
middle to the latter part of August,
following the adjournment of the
general assembly.

WOMEN WANT EQUAL RIGHTS
METHODIST CONFERENCE MUST
HEAR THEIR DEMAND.
Insist Upon Voice in Affairs of the
Church, and Want to Spend the
Money They Raised.


From the Potomac to the Rio
Grande, from the yellow Ohio to the
tip-end of the Florida peninsula, as
journalists are wont to remarkably
way, within the boundaries of the
Methodist church south the women
are uprising, says the Atlanta Geor-
gian.
They want their rights.
They are demanding a voice in the
affairs to which they contribute. and
unless all signs fail they're going to
have it.
The test will come with the general
conference of the church at Ashe-
vile, N c., next May. Armed with
memorials and petitions, backed by
an overwhelming majority of the
membership of the Woman's Board of
Home Missions of the church, the
women will march on Asheville de-
manding:
The right to spend the money they
give as they see fit.
The right to be delegates to con-
ventions of the church.
The right, in short, to be on equal
footing with the men of the laiety,
with a voice and vote in the delib-
erations of the church.
Wnl they win?
Watch and see. Some able minis
tiers and laymen say there's no way
to defeat them.
Will Send Delegation.
The Woman's Board of Home Mis-
sions and other bodies of women have
enormous strength in the Methodist
church. They have raised vast
sums of money to carry on mission
work, and they have been forced to
sit back and watch the men spend
this money as they think best. They
believe that, having had the toll of
raising the funds, they should have
the pleasure of spending them. That
is the principal issue in the fight.
And while they are about it they will
go after equal rights and privileges
with the men in other branches of
church work.
A powerful memorial, backed by
thousands of signatures, will be pre-
scented by the women to the general
conference in Asheville.
