YOU Business Men, Who Think Out Plan and Do Things Read
How the Associated Charities systematic Charity for your Benefit

1t is not to your emotions that we would appeal,
we will make no attempt to fill your eyes with tears
your heart with burning sympathy.
The too true stories of ravishing disease OF
gnawng hunger of anguish, of ablect misery, OF for
saken wives and mothers, of innocent suffering, OF
lives stripped bare, robbed of all that you know life
to hod---even to the last ray ohope that supposed
to spring eternal---heSe stories will not recite
We will not ask you to 60 with one OF those
sweet faced soft voiced women OF the Associated
Charities into hovel-nO, the mockery OF the name, 1t
is home---Where lies in a corner a mother with her
new born and with cold unreenting, brutal want
And this within stones throw of Whirlng automo-
bes, of gay theater parties, of happy crowds, right
here in our own Atlanta
What we are concerned with is the real claim
that the Associated Charities has on every business
man of Atlanta as practical means OF making this
city better place to live IN
The Associated Charities is struggling to put the
charity work of the city on plain and lasting bust
ness basis, to conduct it just as you conductyow
business.
1t stands for organization, for efficiency.

Bmley Tobacco Planters Back Big Com
binatiOn.

A new plan for increasing the sales
of tobacco raised in the Burley district
has been inaugurated by the planters
of this famous tobacco-raising section.
The planters are backing the Burley
Tobacco Company, and the best of
their product for the next ten years
will go into the making of the rich,
clean Strator Brothers smoking and
plug brands. The extensive factories
of the Strater Brothers Tobacco Com
pany, at Louisville, are now part of
the Burley Tobacco Company.
Forty thousand planters have given
their support to the scheme, and the
strength of this affiliation will extend
the sale of the Strater Brothers brands
throughout the entire South. The
scheme will be given publicity at once
in more than fifty different sections of
the South, and will further enhance
the popularity of Burley tobacco among
men who enjoy the best in smoking
and plug tobacco. The combination is
a big one, and is resulting in big con-
sumption of the Strater Brothers
brands. 1t is predicted that the price

Are You Guilty?

Few readers of the weekly news
papers realize how encouraging it is
to an editor to now and then see some
mark of appreciation from those whose
names are mentioned in the most COM
plimentary terms, either in the society,
wedding or local columns of the paper.
1t is with The Record always painful
to learn of sorrow in any form, yet
when the death angel invades the home
of our readers and chills with death the
from of loved ones, we send to our
subscribers last farewell to the de-
ceased, and feel, even at best, that our
sympathy has not been expressed in
language adequate to the occasion.
Occasionally some friend expresses
appreciation of these efforts on the
part of editors, and if not outspoken,
let it be known by deed or action
that such words of praise or sympathy
have not fallen on deaf ears. Yet, of
all the tribulations that befall on editor
the most cutting is to have a reader
send IN special request to elaborate on
events in which they are most interested
and in return send to mail order house
orders for stationery, engraving and
other work which can be procured at
the office from which so recently
originated a complimentary notice,
especially so when the same class of
work could be secured at even lower
figures than asked by foreign firms.
This recalls to mind how often in life
all of US get fangs instead of thanks
from those we want to befriend.

All three parties, even Teddy Roose-
welt is claiming to have won some con-
ISOLATION in the way Vermont went in
the State election last week. Although
the state has always been a republican
stronghold, that party failed to get a
majority of the total vote and the cleo
ton will go into the Legislature which
convenes next month. The democrats
made an increae in their usual vote and
ran second, the Progressive running
last. The increase in the democratic
vote shows that the Progressives are
only drawing from the republican party
and did not hurt the democrats at all
but helped them throw the election in
the house. Every democrat in the
United States should work hard this
fall so that Gov. Wilson will get a mai
ority and not let the election go into
the National house. 1t is going to take
pulling together and we believe that all
democrats are doing that this year.

No Let-Up In Fire Waste.

Despite the fact that there has been
a nationwide campaign against fire
waste IN recent years, the United
States still leads the world in fire
losses says the Courier Journal.
Some figures compiled by the Ma
tional Board of Underwriters show
that the losses in 29S American cities,
with an aggregate population of 3D.
210, ,084. amounted to $2.62 per capita.
With the exception of Canada there is
no other country in the world where
the fire waste is so heavy. Canada's
per capita of fire tax is only slightly
smaller than that of the United States.
On the contrary, the per capita fire
loss in England is only 81 cents; in
Germany 81 cents; in France 81 cents;
in Italy 81 cents; in Ireland So cents;
in Scotland Sc cents; in Russia SLIT.
1t will be seen that Russia's per capita
loss is the heaviest of any foreign
country, but is less than half that of
the United States and Canada.
1t hardly seems reasonable that
there should be so much difference.
The contrast is so great that it could
scarcely be believable if it were not
that the comparisons have been show
ing similar state of affairs for long
period of years. Why should there be
so much more destruction of property
by fire in the United States and in
Canada than:.in the older countries
across the seas? The explanation
must lie in the fact that they take
greater pains to prevent fires in these
foreign countries or that the machinery
of prevention is better organized, more
systematic and more effective.
The year 1912 promises to be as
fruitful of fires as its predecessors have
been. In Kentucky there have been
many and heavy losses, and in Ken
lucky and elsewhere there is almost
continuous protest against the oppres-
siveness of insurance rates. One safe
and sure way to bring about lower in
surance rates is to have fewer fires,
and it would be easily possible to reduce
the number and costliness of fires if all
cities and towns would stop the erection
of fire traps and would adopt needful
measures of prevention.

trial according to reports in the News
papers applauded when the decision
was announced and the unfortunate
lady was treated as a heroine. This
was not exactly right, even though she
had been acquitted of the offul offence
of killing the Father of her three
children. She should have been treated
as any one else acquitted of an offence.
The court has said that she was justified
in her action but it was indeed sad
affair and one that should have been
prevented if there had been a possible
way. We have feeling of sympat by
for any one who is compelled to take
the life of another human and especially
so when that person is the husband of
the woman who killed him.

of Burley tobacco will go up with the
increased demand for it resulting from
this combination.
These planters of the Burley district
make up quite good sized army of
tobacco users in themselves. They
will use the Strater Brothers smoking
and plug brands, and they will want
their friends to use them. No better
blends are made than those of their
own tobacco sold under the Strater
Brothers name. These brands are
made in the cleanest of factories.
They are free from ribs, stems, dirt
and dust. Only the best sun-cured
Kentucky leaf is used in them. They
are full strength and free from bite.
Retail dealers throughout Kentucky
are already profiting by the increased
sales of those brands. They are now
the most popular tobacco sold through
out the State. Every retail tobacco
dealer should have on his shelves the
whole Strater Brothers line of smok-
ing and plug brands. Sales are in
creasing rapidly. and are making these
brands the most popular throughout
the South. Planters are talking them
to their friends everywhere Sales are
growing by leaps and bounds.
Among the brands which have be-
come the biggest sellers are: Strater
Brothers smoking brands; Golden
Glow, Penny Post and Full Pay. Stra-
ter Brothers plug brands; Index, Cup
On The Square, Strater's Natural Leaf,
By Joe Twist, Days Work and Torch
light. The increasing sales of these
brands are creating bigger demand
for tobacco raised in the Burley dis
trict. Those who use these pure brands
made from home grown tobacco are
keeping money right in their own
home community, and getting at the
same time better tobacco than they
would get by using the mixtures made
of inferior grades from tobacco raised
almost anywhere. Dealers, get prices
and special service for promoting the
sale of Strater Brothers brands. Ad-
dress, Burley Tobacco Company, Louis

Something For Which To Be Thankful.

We are constantly reading of the
troubles that the officers are having in
neighboring towns in suppressing the
illegal sale of liquor, and we never read
of it but that We are thankful that We
have no such troubles III our community
Since the tigers" We're effectually
squelched some six or seven years ago,
we have experienced little or no troub-
lie from the illicit liquor sellers. Oc-
casionally some over confident colored
gent attempts, but he is quickly dis
covered, hailed before the, City Judge
and given such severe punishment that
he is content to abandon this method of
earning a livelihood. One reason for
the cessation of the illegal liquor traf-
fic in Lancaster is that all of the old
offenders who made Lancaster one of
the most notorious towns for blind
tigers in the state, now have many
heavy fines hanging over their heads,
and they have left the county. for the
county's good, and are now sojOurning
in 'Injunoplis" or some other cross the
river resort, and they know good and
we'll that they cannot light on Lancas-
ter soil without the speedy enforcement
of these old judgments. Another reason
is the eternal vigilance of the officers,
and the knowledge upon the part of
those who would if they dared traffic in
the trade, that their sins are sure to
find them out and when they do they
will have the alternative of either emil
grating or having long term of max

Good Work And May 1t Extend Until /
Covers Every Stream In The
Commonwealth.

If the poachers who in the years
agone have been wont to depopulate
the streams of the state by means of
traps, seines and other nefarious par
ephernalia, are of the opinion that the
recently enacted fish and game law is
a joke, the sooner they are undeceived
the better for them. Mr.. Quincy Ward
of Paris, agent for the new commission,
one day last week made a trip down
Kentucky river in steam launch and
in the short distance covered succeeded
in capturing so many seines and other
contraband goods belonging to fisher
men along the stream that he was COM
PEELED to hire boat to take the booty
back to Frankfort. The fishermen es-
capped, but Mr.. Ward in nearly every
instance learned their idenity and war
rants will be placed in the hands of the
sheriffs of the respective counties in
which they dwell, and they will be
handed out the justice which is so we'll
due them.
1t is very much to be hoped that Mr..
Ward will not be content with ridding
the larger stream of this class of poach-
ers. but that he will give his attention
to the smaller streams of the state,
and that he will include in his itinerary
Dix river, which is by far the best
bass stream in the state. The work
there will be little more difficult, but
with the cooperation of efficient game
wardens some of the offenders may be
caught red handed, and few convic-
tions will suffice to rid the stream of
such marauders.
