ATLANTA Conformi 10 a Gus
tom as old almost as the history OF
the nation Governor Brown Wednes-
day morning issued the annual
Thanksgiving proclamation. In this
proclamation the governor departs
from the usual stereotyped form
common to such documents and
writes a most interesting paper. One
of the most significant paragraphs IN
the proclamation is that which de-
clares that dissension has not divid-
ed Georgians into hostile camps, but
that, rather, ''the sons of our COM
monwealth have more nearly smooth
ed the asperities that have forced
them apart than has been their lot
for years.
Following is the proclamation;
November 10, 1912.-Whereas,
during the passing year our Heaven
ly Father has preserved us and bless
ed us beyond our deserts with the
fruits of His grace
with plentteous rains He has re-
stored the equilibrium of nature ana
prepared us against the fear OF
scorcbing drouths in the seasons OF
the pending year.
'sThe crops now being garnered
are His warrant that we shall have
food for man and beast; with cotton
with grain and hay, and with other
PRODUCTS for domestic consumption
and with daily employment in the
cities He has taught thai he who
works shall live and be happy
"Our people have many and varied
blessings for which our lips. should
send forth songs of Thanksgiving. we
have gained knowledge in increalng
the nroducts of the soil. No pestt-
Ience has inflicted us. The CHASTITY
hand of war has not seized our BRAY

spread its blight over commerce. Dis
sension has not divided us into hos
tile camps; nay, rather, the sons o.

the wooings of His Holy Spirit ma.
in this harvest season draw all on

THE ExpERrNIENT STATION.

The Savannah Press has discovered
that there is movement on foot to
carry the Georgia Experimental Sta
ton to Athens and operate it in con-
neetion with the agricultural depart
ment of the State University. This
would bring everything except the
archaeological school under one man
agement and in one college campus
1t is a pity that the archaeological
school was ever carried TO Atlanta.
Nothing but political pressure
brought it about. There are those
who believe that with all of the
states educational interests consoli
dated at one place they would b
more efficiently and more economic
ally administered.
It was clearly evident in the addres
of number Of prominent agricultul
lists attending the sessions of IL
Association of Agricultural Colleg
and Experiment Stations in Allan
the past week that plans are alrea
being made with a view OF removi
the Georgia Experiment Station fir
Griffin to Athens.

FILTHY AND DISGUSTING.

The grand jury of Colquitt county
has, in its preesntments, condemned
the filthy and disgusting habit of
excessive splitting in the court house.
The same thing would be in order
in some other counties. The Moul-
trie Observer commends the grand
jury's action and adds 1T doesn' t
seem possible that civilized people
would so abuse public property and
have such a disregard for cleanli-
ness and decency. We are sure that
the men who spit tobacco all over
the court house never think of spit
ting on the floors or up against the
walls of their homes, though they
live in ever so humble a cottage"

Governor Brown, according to the

A number of Georgia papers are
discussing the election of Dotmasters
by popular vote. The popular man is
not always the able, reliable man.
1t would be a very poor way to insure
efficiency in an office the proper ad-
ministration of which affects every
individual in a community. The News
does not believe the plan would give
satisfaction. 1t is a prerogative of
the congressman to fill these offices,
and he would not gain anything by
sinking the Responsibility.

GIRL, IS, SUES To
DIVORCE BOY, II
Romance of EIopement Wanes
When Young Husband Fails
to Keep Wooing Vows.

The pretty boy and girl romance of
Miss Ruth Glozier, fifteen, and Paul
Clay, seventeen, which saw it's climax
in elopement and marriage eleven
months ago. had a sad anti-climax in
the superior court today. Young Mrs.
Clay filed suit for divorce, charging
her husband hadn't kept the promises
he made as an ardent wooer when they
liYed across the street from each other
in Lampkin street. In fact she had
found Him to be so far from the ideal
she had pictured that life with him
would be misery, indeed, and she asked
the court for relief.
According to the story of neighbors
today. Paul Clay had known the little
girl who lived just across the street
from him for two years. Not until last
May, however, did he fall victim to
her attractions. He had seen her in the
neighborhood from time to time and
had been to her home frequently. Then
suddenly he made engagements with
her, took her to picture shows and
other places of amusement
One day the girl asked her mother to
allow her to marry Paul, but mother
said No" The wooing kept on. Miss
Ruth went to mother again and Mrs
Glozier offered her a new dress, a gold
bracelet or anything she cared for if
she would forget the boy.
But, mother, we have been married
two weeks now" she was told Two
weeks before the girl and boy had left
home shortly after dark, saying they
were going up town. They got a street
car at the cOrner-but it carried them
to Copenhill instead of to the city's
center There they were married The
young people went to live with the
brides mother at 8 Corley street.
But the young husband does not stay
there now. A few weeks after they
were married, SO Mrs. Clay says in her
divorce petition, she found her husband
to be entirely worthless. He would not
support her, and after she had gone to
work would take her money each Sat-
urday night So she ordered him from
the house.
Now he is staying with his mother at
"A Lampkin street, and she is earning
her own living by working in a candy
factory.
