Less than a year ago I found myself
tyrannized over by powerful railroad
monopoly. There was no use in going to
the regular courts. They will. some
times postpone indefinitely if the rail-
roads say so, so l went before the rail-
road commission and pleaded for my
manifest rights. I had a regular hear
ing, before that high court of justice.
met a formidable force of lawyers and
so far as they were concerned they
pressed their legal ability on me with
ferocity and insistence. / wished with
all my heart, that | had devoted time
to the study of law, but l did my best,
and with a favorable result. 1t is the
height of insolence to say that a woman
shall not plead her own case when she
knows It better than anybody else. /
know there was no improperly in my
appearance before the railroad commits
sion, and believe the entire bench of
railroad judges will agree with me.
find there Is a furious cutlery In many
places that women are usurping the avo-
cations of men-typewriters. clerksi
scriveners, etc. I guess these men law
yers In the legislature were looking after
their fees and trying to keep down COM
petition.
And they had the cheek to call 1t
Georgia chivalry.'
If they can call just bagging spun
silk or a he wolf household conven-
fence, then there might be some apology
for this far-fetched claim of Georgia
chivalry as applied TO their determine
ton to disallow in Georgia what nine
tenths of the other states have granted.
In the year 1910 a Whine woman con-
vict within few. miles OF the state
capitol in Atlanta, was beaten for curs-
ing, with Ill stripes by brutal guard,
and there was no Georgia chivalry any
where in sight. The brutal guard was
not dismissed. When tyrants get
chance the same old temptation to beat
womenkind crops out and they beat.
Unless men can so arrange our public
business that women are to be kept
in bandages so to speak, 1T is mighty
poor comfort to be thus beaten back
from earning an honorable living by
women's education and her brains.
If women were never hailed into the
court house as witnesses and the So
called "chivalry'' always gave to her
property rights or protected women s
children, there might be some force in
the chivalry idea, but it L. a common
complaint that men lawyers lie In walt
for the property of widows and orphans.
Huge fortunes have grown out of the
inability of widows to keep these harp
les of the law from robbing them after
the husband and father had gone to the
/ cemetery.
So long as women must work as en-
ployes to make an honest support it is
only just that they should at least have
the sympathy and assistance of their
sex in a struggle for bread Chivalry
has not kept these women from the
workshops or from starvation wages.
Chivalry has not paid women equal
wages for equal service, and it is more
than likely that women as lawyers
would save the courts from whole lot
of indecency as well as rank injustice.
Chivalry? Bah!

Details of the Massacre Of the Mex
ican Regulars.

One hundred and fifteen Mexican
soldiers were caught in a trap and
massacred by the insurrectos few
DAYS ago. The massacre took place
near Cuchillo. The correspondent
with the insurgent forces inter-
viewed several captured government
soldiers, and all of them give prac-
tically the same account of their
losses. Jose de La Cruz Sanchez
and Torileio Orega, Mexican ranch
owners, commanded the insurgents.
All the Federal soldiers under Col.
Dorante, numbering nearly 400 men
probably would have been massacred
had not the insurrectos exhausted
their ANN unition.
The soldiers we're entrapped In the
mountains and for nearly three days
were under the fire Of the irsurrec-
tos. The insurgents captured thlr-
ty-two Mauser carbines and nineteen
wounded men. Twenty horses be-
longing to the revolutlonists were
left in a canyon three miles from the
battle ground, and in their retreat
the Federal soldiers confiscated
them. The government troops re-
treated in disorder to Coyama and
entrenched themselves.

cd by Gov. Blease.

81 Several days ago John G. Rich.
ards, Jr., member OF the railroad
commission, called at the Office OF
Gov. Blease To pay his respects, ac-
cording to Gov. Blease.
Just before Mr.. Richards left the
Office Gov. Blease said that he was
sorry that Mr.. Richards had accepted
the appointment as railroad com
missioner as h., had better job IN
view. for him.
Mr.. Richards asked Gov. Blease
what might be the nature Of the
place. Gov. Blease replied that he
had intended to appoint him as com
missioner OF agriculture, commerce
and industries to take the place OF
E. J. Watson.
Following this incident there were
'rumors that Gov. Blease intended to
have a general shaking up In the
department of agriculture and that
John G. Richards, Jr., A. D: Hudson
or E. H. Aull would be appointed to
succeed Commissioner Watson.
Sunday Gov. Blease was asked II
he intended to dismiss Commissions
Watson. He said that he had not
stated that he would do so. Mr.
Watson's term OF Office expires In
1912. EIe was again asked If he in,
tended to dismiss Mr.. Watson. In
answer he related the above incident
of his desire that Mr.. Richards be-
! come the commissioner OF agricul'
! ture, commerce and industries.
The department Of agriculture was
built up by Commissioner Watson
who was appointed under Gov. Hey
ward. The department is considered
one Of the most efficient in the United
States. Commissioner Watson wa:
appointed by Gov. Hayward and lat
er reappointed by Gov. Ansel.

TOLL OF THE sea

The Fondering of Three Vesaela-thc
Perciless, the Waratah and the
Kurdistan- s.

The year 1910 will rank 40 one O
the blackest In the history OF Lloyds,
blacker even than 1909, which was
one OF the worst since the inception
OF the great maritime institution
The tale Of sea disasters makes sac
reading. The casualties both to life
and property have been numerous
so numerous that ever experts are
disinclined to calculate the actual
financial loss involved.
But close perusal of the list
brings out the astonishing fact thai
the more prominent losses Of the
year alone account for no less a sum
than s15,OO0,0O0. The minor cas-
ualties, however, make up in number
what they lack in financial impor.
tance, with the result that they swell
the total approximately to S3O,0OO,,
600.
This figure, huge as 1t Is, by nc
means represents the actual loss OF
the year to the skipping world
Many vessels there are which go tc
sea whose owners have not safe
guarded their interests by insurance
and the loss of which, If taken into
consideration, would add consider
able to the aggregate.
According to one member of the
Lloyds the claims settled on the hulls
of steamers during the last few
months have been quite unprecedent-
ed. Added to this is the fact that
during this year the. cost Of repairs
to damaged vessels is infinitely
greater than has ever yet been known
+, to be the case. The reason ascribed
is the increased cost of labor and
materials, caused chiefly by the un-
rest in the labor world.
The biggest loss Of the year was
undoubtedly the Aberdeen liner Peri
cles, which sank after striking a
sunkep reaf off the coast OF Aus
tralla. The vessel carried valuable
cargo, which, with the hull, was
valued at over s3,250,OO0.
Next In Importance came the Ill
fated Lund liner Waratah, the
claims on which, amounting to about
s1,50O,0O0, were not settled until
this year. The. steamer Kurdistan
which toundered while bound from
Manchester to the Persian gulf, also
accounted for no less than $780,.
