SOUTH HAS LEARNED BETTER
NO LONGER FERTILE FIELD TO
EXPLOIT "HIGH FINANCE"
People Now PatrOnizing Their Own
Institutions and Industries, and
Keeping Money at Home.

hCCpiIS -AOhNt at AO1hS'
misunderstanding to the
men who gathered here recently for
the big insurance conference there
was time, not many vars ago, when
Southern people were somewhat like
the romantic redskins of the Feni-
more Cooper novels, in that they
would buy anything that plausible
stranger happened to bring from
afar, just as the Indians used to
trade land and valuable furs for
strings of common glass beads.
But that time has passed, they de-
clare, and the South is no longer a
fertile field for the exploitation of
thigh finance" schemes. The prin-
cipal reason for this, it is stated, is
that the South has industries and is
patronizing them.
Figures are dry things, yet they
are often the strongest spot light
that can be thrown upon the bald as
sertions of fact.
Twelve years ago Southern insur-
ance companies were struggling for
existence; an existence, nevertheless,
which they meant to maintain. Today
the SIIudllOH ID uinSlSnI- I1OhlC
companies, solid as the red old hills
of Georgia, are on every side. They
have become as much a solid part of
the South as its very soil. From an
insignificant amount of business
done by the home companies twelve
years ago the Southern companies
carry a big per cent of all the insur-
ance-fre and life-written within
the South's borders. Southern com
panies are surrounded with the same,
and often with stricter, safeguards
than. those of the North and East.
Georgias new insurance law, passed
at the last session of the legislature,
and now in force, is recognized as
one of the best the lawmakers could
devise. This, together with the
growth of the idea of keeping mon
ey at home,' has made the Southern
companies more sciid than ever. The
keep money at home" slogan has
been particularly the watchwOrd of
the fire insurance leaders, who have
preached it everywhere as the gospel
of the New South.

Middlemen in Liquor Transactions.

The court defines the responsibility
of a middleman in liquor transac-
ton. 1t is held: "A middleman in
an illegal sale of intoxicants, to be
free from criminal responsibility, must
act solely as agent for the buyer
If he induces the transaction or acts
as agent for both parties, or has a
profit in the transaction. he is guilty
of violating the law" For this rea-
son one Guilford's conviction was af-
firmed because he received one dol
lar to buy whiskey and paid only 10
cents for it, getting profit of Is
cents.

Undoubtedly the strongest woman
appearing on Wednesdays program
was Miss Celeste Parish, one of Geor-
gias state school supervisors. She
pleaded with club women to use their
influence for rural school improve
ment, to insist upon having normal
trained teachers and the teaching Of
scientific agriculture and "home-mak-
ing" and the formation of home
and school clubs" by the country
teachers. Another need she brought
before the convention was need for
a school for backward children and
one for wayward children. Georgia
has neither now. We send this mes
sage not only to Dawson club women,
but to women in general, just as she
gave it: Men see and acknowledge
the need of these reforms, but if
they are brought about women will
have to do it,.

the night his bee hives had been loot

TOO MANY METHODIST JURORS.
For This Reason Removal of Dough-
erty Commissioners Is Asked.

For IhlS reason hehOVal OF DougH-
erty Commissioners Is Asked.
What per cent of the members of a
jury may be members of the same
religious denomination is a question
involved in a case on trial before
the Georgia supreme court.
Taxpayers of Albany, the county
seat of Doughetry county, are asking
the removal of the six jury commits
sioners of the county because, it is
alleged, they selected lists of grand
and petit jurors of which seventy
three and one-third per cent are
members of the Methodist church.
The petitioners allege that the COM
missioners were moved by religious
preference in the selection of the jul
rors.
The lower courts refused TO re-
move the commissioners and the case
was taken to the supreme court on a
writ.

In another case the court reversed
the conviction of a farmer on a
charge of carrying a pistol without a
license, because, it is held, man has
a right to carry weapon, not con-
cealed, on his own premises without
taking out a license. That will be
good news to many a farmer.

On Wednesday morning, after a
short conference of club presidents
and the executive board, the con-
vention was formally opened in Taft
Hall. On report it was found that
there are in Georgia today III fed
Grated clubs, consisting OF nearly
10000 organized women working
with one aim. In 1912 there have
been added As new clubs, bringing
in 1850 members. Among these
clubs is one consisting of 1902 mem
bers, and nearly every one gives her
age as so or over. This fact goes to
show that the woman's club move
ment is not a frivolous fad Of women
who are feeling around for some
where to spend their time, but de-
termined effort Of otherwise busy
housewives and mothers, working
women and women Of leisure to help
others, and by so doing help them
selves.

Judge Gambler struck the keynote
of the convention when he reminded
the vast audience assembled in Taft
Hall that this army of Georgia wo-
men was organized for social and
educational betterment. He berated
the community that was willing to
sit idly by and see their schools Con
Quoted along the lines of their fore
fathers, and lauded the efforts Of
club women to establish branches of
agricultural and domestic science
training in these schools.
