Atlanta Georgian., 1912-07-10
By DOROTHY DIX

n PRETTY young bride has just
~ been deserted in hotel in
New York after a honey
moon that had lasted only four
days.
Detectives are out hunting the
recreant bridegroom, who disap-
peared owing the hotel and an au-
tomobile concern, and even tailor
from whom he had rented a swell
dress suit to be married in, and the
poor little bride has gone tearfully
back home to reflect upon the un-
certainty of matrimony.
She is even wondering what her
name is, because she doesn't know
whether the man she married was
named w-Aae ne said ne was or not,
as she has found out that he was
not rich, as she supposed, or con-
nected with a big hospital, as he
told her nor had he ever been
heard of at famous medical school
where he professed to have grad
uated.

No Excuse Can Be Offered
For This Attitude.


In this day of telegra phs and tel
ephones and newspapers, we all
live in the glare of publicity and
there is no difficulty whatever in
finding out all that it is necessary
to know about anybody else.
postal card written to the hospital
with which the young man men
toned at the beginning of this ar
ticle said he was connected would
have brought out the truth about
him, but none Of the girls family
took the trouble to write it. A day
spent in a mans home town; ten
minutes talk with his employer. a
few judicious inquiries among his
friends would show any father
whether the man who wanted to
marry his daughter would make her
a good husband or not. An in
quiry through Dun or Bradstreet
will give accurate information az
to any young fellows past and pre-
sent performances and abilities 70
support a wife.
With these sources of information
at hand, is it not simply incredible
that any father would be 80 crimi-
nally negligent as not to at least
find out what sort Of a life part
ner his daughter is getting when
she marries?
No possible excuse can be offered
for their attitude in the matter
Before a father gives his consenI
to his daughters marriage ne
should have gone over the young
mans record with a magnifying
glass and a search warrant. u is
his business to protect his little
girl, and he signally fails to DO 't
unless ne does his best to keep her
from making a mistake in the most
important act of her life.

why a girl with no experience u
life. and infatuated with mans
agreeable personality, might think
that it didn't make any difference
who he was, or what he had done
She might be willing to buy pig
in a poke. as it were, and marry
a man without any investigation
Of his standing and character, but
there is nothing else on earth so
amazing as the indifference Of ia
theirs on this subject, and that 4
father would permit his little unso-
phisticated daughter to marry
man of whom he knew absolutely
nothing.
Yet they do 1t continually. Many
man sees his prospective son-in-
law for the first time when the
youth comes to go through the
meaningless form of asking for
Mamie's hand in marriage. For
Mamie has told papa to say yes"
and papa is SO busy and so careless
that he hands over Mamie, soul
and body with every one Of her po-
tentialities for misery or happiness.
TO the stranger, with as little
thought as he would a pound of tea
across the counter Worse: He
wouldn't let the stranger have the
tea unless he could show that he
could pay for it, but he lets him
have Mamie without finding out
whether he can support her or not.
And this isn't because father has
such respect for Mamie's judgment
He wouldn't trust her to make
thousand dollar investment alone
II she had that much money to put
into stock or real estate or to
lend he would take upon himself
the task of looking up the title or
security and seeing that it was
gilt edge before he permitted her
to part with her money, without
bothering to see if she is swindled
and gold bicked in the trade or

BUYERS OFFICE
ABOLISHED
Purchasing Department Of
Consolidation TO Do the
Work of Office.
MIR. CRAWFORD QUITS
AS General Manager Of the
Stores Owned by the
Company.

j. h. Wheelright, president, and
George 7. Watson, vice president,
have issued an order, effective
March j, by which the purchasing
department of the Consolidation
Coal Company will do the buying
for the merchandise department or
the company. The Office of mer-
chardise buyer, which has been held
for over ten years by G. l.. Rob-,
ertson, will be abolished and Mr.. A
Robertson will be promoted to the
Office OF general manager OF stores
for all divisions of the company
In issuing the order for the changes.
Vice President George T. Watson,
in charge of operations, announces
the promotion of several popular at
taches of the company.
The changes were necessitated by
the desire OF James T.. Crawford to
relinquish the duties OF general
manager of stores, position he has
held with the company for twenty
six years. Mr. Crawford will con
tinue as manager of the store at
New England, W. Va, but he will
not have to look after the other
duties which he handled so capably
for many years in the past.
The new orders increase the work
of A. T. Watson, who for eleven
years has been the purchasing agent
of the company, but they provide
two assistants for him, thus reliev.
ing him of many details which he
has efficiently handled in the past.
#. C. Davis, who for eleven years
has been chief clerk to the pur-
chasing agent, will get one of the
assistants whose duty it shall be to
buy for the mines. GuyC. Michael
of Mr.. Robertson's oce, goes to the
office of the purchasing agent as as
slstant to buy merchandise and sup
plies for the stores. While not
connected with the department, Mr..
Robertson will continue headquar-
tiers in Fairmont and the purchasing
department will have the advantage
of his knowledge and experience in
buying.
Frank Nicely, veteran store manager
in the Fairmont region, now in
charge of the stores at Everson and
Highland, is promoted to the office
of manager of stores, West Virginia
division.

Is Issued by the Government
on the Pocahontas
Coal Field.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The
"Pocahontas special map" has just
been published by the United States
Geological Survey as part of the
topographic map of the United States
which is being made by the GeologI-
cal Survey in rectangular sections,
most of which represent areas of
about 200 square miles each.
The area shown ON the Pocahontas
sheet covers portions of western Vir-
ginia and southeastern West Virginia
and, as the name implies, includes the
famous Pocahontas coal area. The
survey of the West Virginia portion
was carried on in cooperation be-
tween the Federal Geological Survey
and the State of West Virginia, each
paying one-half the cost of the field
work. The map is published on a
scale of one mile to one inch, with
ffty-foot-contour interval. 1t gives
an excellent delineation of the topog-
raphy of the country-the noun
tains, valleys, ridges, slopes, rivers,
creeks, and all other natural features
besides all the works of man. The
town of Pocoltontas is located in >le
south-central portion or the area,
and the Geological Surveys bench
mark at .his point shows an eleva-
ton of 1920 feet above sea level.
The topographic surveying of the
Pocohontas area was done by F. f.
Matthes, f. p. Davis, and S. L. Tay-
Tor, under the direction of r. b.
Marshall, chief geographer. The map
is sold by the United States Geologi-
cal Survey for 5 cents copy, or SO
a hundred, the cost of paper and
printing. Application should be maze
to the Director, Geological Survey,
