SAYS WOMEN ARE FRlGHTS
Woman Who Receivers Sight After
-Four Years of Blindness Shocked
by Present Day Styles.

COLUMBUS, Ohio had no idea
of the changes taking place in wo-
mems styles, said Mrs w. X Lig-
gett, who has just recovered her sight
after four years of blindness due to
cataracts, of which she had been
cured by an operation. Il had no
idea what rights women were max
ing of themselves, though my club
friends had given me the best word
descriptions they could of the chang
ing styles of gowns. You know the
lines of gowns have vastly changed
in the last four years. l was shocked
the first time l saw a lady fasllie2a-
bly, attired after l recovered my
sight, and, in fact, l have not yet
become used to the change. Such
fashions. l never thought women
could dress themselves to look so
ridiculous"
Mrs. Liggett before her affection
was leading club woman and
prominent figure in society. All
through her years of blindness her
club and society friends have sought
to give her all the enjoyment the
world gives through the other senses.

made them unless his inclination hap
pened to be toward fulfillment at the
time set.
All of these outbreaks OF what is
really but the abnormal condition of
a vain and twisted child's mind in
the body of a great fighting brute
have been given rather more public
ity than is usual with champion fight
ers because of Johnson's race. This
is unfair. His color has simply &C
centuated his rottenness and in no
way caused it. There have been
plenty of white fighters who We're his
rivals in brutishness. 1t is an animal
sport, and the greater percentage OF
pure beast in the makeup of man
the greater his chances for success,
financial gain and the inevitable Sc
auel-a riot of bestial pleasure.

.STRADDLES THE MILEAGE PULL
RAILROAD COMMISSION GOES
BOTH WAYS ON QUESTION.
It's Action at That. Was Not Unani-
nous, Messrs. Gambler and Gray
Giving Dissenting Opinion.


ATLANTA.-The travelling men
have won only a partial victory in
their mileage pulling case. the COM
mission passing an order which very
much modifies what their petition de-
mands. 1t excerpts all cities of TO-
600 and over.
Even the modification of the order
sought by the commercial men was
not unanimous.
Chairman Murphy Gambler and
Commissioner Joseph F. Gray dis
scented from the order, which is as
follows:
RESOLVED, by the commission,
that all railroads selling mileage or
penny script books are hereby re-
uuired. on and after February 1st,
1913, to pull the same on the trains
of their company selling the same

portation between points wholly

ton, according to the census
of 1910, in which places mileage or
penny script shall be changed for
tickets.
The dissenting opinion from Chair
man Gambler and Commissioner Gray
is extended, covering nearly fourteen
typewriter pages. AS to the order
itself they say: II believe it not only
wrong in principle, but it is discrim-
mating and so vague and indefinite in
language as to be wholly impracti-
cal, and will result in constant fric-
ton if enforced or attempted TO be
enforced, if not in the withdrawal
entirely of two-cent fares in Geor-
gia."
The order makes no provision for
baggage and it will be noted that
the mileage can be pulled only on
the trains of the company selling it.
The opinion prevails very generally
that the railroads will withdraw their
interchangeable intra and interstate
two-cent mileage.

At LEAST FIFTY SENATORS
SENATOR SMITH SAYS MAJORITY
IN UPPER HOUSE ASSURED.
Seven Seats Are Still in Doubt From
Michigan, Oregon, South Dakota
Tennessee and Wyoming.

WASHINGTON.-''The reorgani-
cation of the senate by the democrats
on the fourth of March is assured,
said Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia
today in summing up the status of
the senate as a result of the election.
Senator Smith was among those of
the democratic senators to return to
Washington, and he spoke with as
surance due largely to his familiarity
with the situation on account of his
connection with the senatorial branch
of the campaign work. He spent a
month in Chicago with Senator Reed
of Missouri looking after the legis-
latures in the various states.
Positive Majority in Senate.
I'VE have thirty democrats who
hold over and five who already have
been elected, making thirty-fve, ;"
said the senator. 1--WE nave demo-
Gratis from Georgia, Texas, Kansas,

Carolina, South Carolina and two

ed.
! Senator Smiths summary of demo-
cratic control in the senate is sub
stantially in accord with the general
view taken at the senate wing of the

up to the present time as follows:

Seven Seats in Doubt.
The seven seats still classed as

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Almost i'm
mediately after he takes the oath of
office March 4th President Woodrow
Wilson will call an extra session of
congress for the purpose of revising
the tariff, according to what was
learned here today. In spite of the
talk to the contrary it is understood
that the mind of Governor Wilson on
this matter is made up. He is not
likely to be swerved from it.
Close friends of Governor Wilson

his victory of Tuesday. They found

FASTEST SHORTHAND WRITER.

The fastest shorthand writing that

that he intends to call congress in
extra session next spring and get tar
if revision out of the way. He does
not intend to wait until the regular
session in December, 1913, to have
revision undertaken.
Men who are in the confidence of
Governor Wilson say there is practi-
cal certainty about the question of
the extra session.

RUSSIA STUDYING COTTON
SENDS AN EXPERT TO GEORGIA
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE.
DIR. SOule Welcomes the Distinguish
ed Visitor and Gives Him the
Freedom of the Institution.

Freedom OF the INSTITUTION.
ATHENS, Ga.-Alexis E. Luben-
cho, s. A., whose title is chief ex-
pert and professor of cotton culture,
agricultural institute of Moscow is
a visitor to the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture, to which he came
to study American methods of cotton
culture. He will spend about a week
at the college, going into a study of
cotton species, methods of culture
and American methods of handling.
DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule welcomed the
distinguished visitor and gave him
the freedom of the institution. Prof.
r. J. DeLoach, head of the school of
cotton industry, is rendering such
assistance as he has time for and
inviting him to attend the classes.
Prof Lubencho is very much in
terested in what he has observed. He
says that the production of cotton in
Southern Russia has been carried on
very successfully. The upland type
of cotton grown in the South con-
the largest percentage grown
in Russia. 1t is to familiarize him
self more fully with species of cot
ton grown in this country with a
view to determining their adaptable
ity to Russian conditions that he has
come to Georgia.
To have selected the Georgia State
College of Agriculture as the place
to get in touch with advanced infor-
nation in cotton culture is of course
evidence of the high position the in
holds in the eyes of the
world.

WILL CALL AN EXTRA SESSION

Tending strongly to confirm the
idea that there will be an extra ses-

Leader Underwood of the house has,
since the election, come out with a
statement saying that he favors an
extra session to revise the tariff. It
is known that Governor Wilson and
Mr.. Underwood in recent months
have conferred on the tariff and
