amended so as to add nine more to Geor- gia's fiourishing list
 But it remained for the present legisla- ture to have presented to 1t the proposal to abolish county. It was MT. Garling- ton of Richmond who introduced the bill proposing to abolish Glascook county. Now, Glascock is the smallest county in the state. having only 96 square miles and 4669 population. Mr Garlington's bill proposed to consolidate Glascock with Warren, which is likewise below the av- craze size and population as Georgia counties go Warren has only 29S square miles, so that Warren and Glascoek to- gether would have less than the aver age area, which is 401 square miles
 But as soon as the sturdy yeomanry of Glascock county learned of the plot against their little government division they rose up In arms and resoluted. Then they sent a committee to Atlanta to en- ter the protest. The committee accomp- lished it's mission, the big kick was en- tered, Mir. Darlington withdrew the bill and the committee after taking in the sights of Atlanta, has just gone home in the happiest possible frame of mind to make its report.
 And Glascock will continue to remain on the map.
 In response to protests from opponents of the commission form of government, those in charge of engineering through Atlantas charter revision bill. have con scented that it shall not go into effect un- til adopted by a vote of the people.
 The protest has come principally from those who have held or are now hold ing office under the present city charter. designated and denominated the "politi- cians." 'potboilers, and other endear- ing terms; and while 1t has been inef- fective insofar as defeating the passage of the bill is concerned, the opponents have finally secured an amendment sub- mitting the measure to public vote.
 That the protest is not a general one Is indicated largely by the meeting which was called at the Grand opera house the other night, at which the attendance, at liberal estimate. was not more than 300. Atlantans generally are not kicking up any fuss over the new form of govern ment. and most everybody is well pleased over the fact that a satisfactory com- promise was agreed upon obviating the necessity for a hard battle at the polls ir the fall to decide which form of charter should be adopted.
 The compromise, with five commissions CTS to exercise all executive functions and a council of 10 to legislate alone. ob- viated the necessity for this fight, and 1t was first intended to put the compromise bill through without provision for sub Initting 1t to vote. But the protesters made such fuss that this concession was granted them. There is practically no question that the new charter will be adopted by an overwhelming vote.

New Decatur Building Has
 Unique Distinction
IMANLEY IS INSTALLED
Mrs B0wles Entertains At Six O'Clock Dinner-Sheriff McCul- loch Raids Soft Drink Stands.
 Other News of Interest

Decatur, August 13.-(Special.)-It is be- Iieved that New Decatur bears the unique distinction of being the only town or city in the entire United States that has an electric sign over the door of its post office. The sign has just been put up and is & thing of beauty. It bears the words, New Decatur Postoffice, Ala bama-". The word ''Postoffice'' is illumi- mated with 40 electric globes, while the other words are not illuminated.
 The occasion of the placing of the sign over the entrance to the New Decatur postoffice was in commemoration of the event of the restoration of that post office. On July 1 last the New Decatur postoffice was consolidated with the De- catur postoffice on an order issued by the department at Washington. A few weeks later this order was rescinded. and it was in honor of the restoration Of the office that the sign was erected.
 Yesterday Mrs. Thomas A. Bowles of New Decatur entertained with a o'clock dinner in honor of Miss Kathleen Rush of Gadsden, Miss Frances Cox of Hunt ington, Tenn; Misc Beauford Tweedy of NOuTlldnu hllQ MISS ludt I<iia r uA aS SA Columbia. Tenn, who are the guests of Miss Carolyn Cortner of New Decatur. Covers weer laid for TO- The table was beautifully decorated with cut glass bowls of nasturtfums. The place cards were gathered by Mrs. Bowles in various parts of Europe while on tour to that coun- try recently. The gentlemen present were Charlie Eyster. Stanley Jervis. Jeff Miner. Carlisle Blackwell and Louis Hardage.
 The Rev. Dr. Manley was installed to- night at o'clock as pastor of the Pres byterian church in West New Decatur. The services were conducted in the PreSby- terian church In West New Decatur by the presbytery committee. The sermon was preached by the Rev. L. E. Bur baker of Sheffield The charge to the pastor was delivered by the Rev. W. T. Bartlett. pastor of the Westminster Pres byter1an church in New Decatur. The charge to the congregation was delivered by the Rev. J. A. Foster, pastor of Will loughby chapel of New Decatur.
 Tho Rev. Mir Manley organized the Presbyterian church in West New De- catur only a few months ago and since th at time the membership and the interest has increased in remarkable extent. This church is now making arrangements to spend about $20O on the improvement of their house of worship.
 Sheriff McCulloch and his deputies are again making war the soft drink stands. Saturday they raided a place in West New Decatur and secured quan- tity of beer and whisky.
 As this county is to have a local option election on September Il 1t was supposed that there would be no more raids in this county by the sheriff and his force of deputies, but it seems that such is not the intention of the sheriff.

step was taken Wednesday last, April 9th.
 Upon the same day a mass con vention was called in Hermosillo to nominate candidates for gover- nor and vice governor; and invita- tion were sent to Alamos, Quay. mas, Magdalena and other centers of population to hold like conven- tions, making other nominations for the same posts, with a declara- ton that there shall be free bal lot, fair count, and that the can didates receiving the highest num- bers of votes shall be inaugurated in the offices of governor and vice governor, on the Sixteenth of Sep tember, the date of beginning of the coming term of office. In all likelihood an educational and property qualification for voters will be esta blished.
 The mass convention at Hermo- sillo nominated for governor MT. Alejandro Lacy, a prominent and and wealthy haciendado, owning large tract of land in the valley of the Rio Sonora; and for vice-gov. ernor it placed in nomination Lie radeo Lopez del Castillo, q noted lawyer of the capital city. Other nominations have not been an- nounced but in the coming week they are expected to follow.
 This new deal in Sonora will be watched in the United States with no little interest, as it is the first definite step in the new policy of reform announced by President Diaz-a policy that he has declared many times he had in view to be applied whenever the time be- came ripe for it's application, which time he comedies has arrived now.

RACE SUICIDE AGAIN.

In some of his recent addresses in California former President Roosevelt has paraded to the public view and aired some more his peculiar views upon race suicide and the advisability or patriotic duty of all to raise and rear large families. THE OASIS once heard an eminent woman physician remark that to her mind it would be better to raise we'll, good, strong, healthy and handsome, two or three children than half dozen or more so tacky and ornery looking a lot as the Roosevelt bunch" And she went on and laid down several very pointed propositions. First, said she, after bearing one child a woman should have several years rest before having to bear another. The strain upon the constitution of a woman in bearing and giving birth to a child, and in caring for it as:it should be cared for several years after birth, are all that any woman should be subjected to, without being called to bear another before the first is fairly out of the way. Next that the demands of our modern civilization upon par ents in raising families according to modern standards are such that all the capacity, strength and financial ability of both parents are more heavily taxed to raise accord ing to present standards a family of two or three children than were the resources of parents fifty or sixty years ago in raising familie; of a half dozen or more. And those two propositions that thi: article has quoted are complete and irrefutable reply to all the diatribes nd accusations thai Colonel Roosevelt has laid against American men and women fol their alleged (by him neglect oi duty in the matter of increasing and multiplying.

GALES, FIONA, U. s. A.

who gave birth to their progeny in filters, with giving birth to but one cub at one time? "Yes," she replied, "I bear but one at a time but it is lion." That fable may be used to describe the present condition of the human race; and every family rearing children has to make choice whether it will pro- duce one or two lions or a litter of more common animals: for the cost of rearing to manhood or woman hood and educating a child so that it is fitted for anything but the most ordinary avocations in life IS such that to essay the attempt for more than two or three children IS far beyond the capacity of the gen. eral run of men and women. And this fact is true even in this day of the public school when education is supposed to be free. The cost of instruction is the smallest part of the expense of educating boy or l girl; particularly so when they ad- vance to the higher grades. While little and advancing to the gram mar school grades the cost of main tenance of child is hardly felt; but when the high school grades are reached, and from that time forward, the education of child is an expensive luxury which very few parents can afford, and be- comes an awful strain when done for two or three, while it is posi- lively prohibitive when there are more than that number.
 Tradition tells of families in the nineteenth century-particularly in the first half-wherein there were raised eight or ten, and even dozen children. The recollection of the writer goes back to many such families. The cost of the clothing for one boy of fifteen today is as great as was laid out upon a dozen boys of that age sixty years ago; and with flour four dol lars per hundred, eggs thirty-fiye cents per dozen, butter forty cents per pound, ham and bacon twenty. five to thirty cents and beef fifteen to twenty cents, as against one dollar per hundred for flour, five cents per dozen for eggs, twelve cents per pound for butter, ten tC twelve cents for ham and bacon
 and four to eight cents per pound for beef-the prices of sixty years ago, the appetite of strong
 healthy boy now runs into money as fast as did the hunger of a hal dozen such boys sixty years ago. The foregoing is an outline o the reasons why families in Amer ica are so much smaller than 1T
 former generations, and they ar' so patent that people with far les
 acumen than Mir. Roosevelt car
 perceive them.

CHANGE OF PROGRAM .
An Open Election In Sonora Amour
 ced. Nominations Invited.

 in Sonora a change in political program heretofore announced that has created no little sensation and may be productive of widely sweep ing results. It consists in with drawal of the nominees for gover- nor and vice ce-governor-General Lorenzo Torres and Doctor Fer, nando Aguilar, respectively, the nomination of others in their stead, and the announcement that other nominations will be invited with a ftir and open contest between the various tickets, a free ballot, correct count of the ballots cast, and in- auguration into office of those can didates who receive a plurality, or majority as the case may be.
 It will be recalled that some weeks ago General Lorenzo Torres of the Rio Yaqui, who is a wealthy haciendadO and also general offi- cer in the Mexican army was placed in nomination for governor and Doctor Fernando Aguilar oi Hermosillo, a prominent practiclng physician and well known mem. Der of very prominent and wealthy family, was placed in no' imitation in the usual way as can. didate for vice governor, ir the regular quadriennial state election that is due on the twenty third of April-two weeks hence It was understood of course that the two gentlemen nominated con stituted the government ticket and that as in former elections there would be no opposition nomina tions-their election without op position being the program.
 General Lorenzo Torres, (whC should not be confounded witt General Luis Torres, also a genera officer in the regular army, com mandant of the First Military Zone, comprising the states of So nora and Sinaloa, and at presen the actual governor of Sonora, al though reposing the executiv, power in the hands of Don Alberto Cubillas, the vice-governor) served one term as governor about twent, years ago; and Doctor Aguilar ha served also as vice governor, dur ing which service he yielded for short time the executive power
