ABUSING PRIVILEGES


There Is certain class OF people in
this world who are regularly given to
abusing privileges. Sometimes their
conduct results In the privileges be.

also from those who used their priv.
leges rightly; sometimes It merely
causes Infinite trouble and dimcuity

One Of the department stores In
MY home city has always been re.
markable for the courtesy which II
las shown In the matter OF exchanges.
Anything within reason-and some.
times more than that-rthis firm would
do. Recently. ! heard someone say,
"So.and.So & Co. are not so good

there Is good reason for the change.

WOMEN Will
VOTE TODAY
GREAT ARMY OF SUFFRAGETTS
In all 100000 Votes May
Be POIIpd

Washington, D. c., Nov. An addi-
ton to the men qualified to vote, some
hundreds of thousands of women will
cast votes in the presidential election
tomorrow.
There are six states in which wo-
men will be entitled to vote this year,
namely California, Colorado, Idaho,
Utah. Wash ngton and Wyoming. In
two of these states, viz, Washington
and California, woman suffrage on
equal terms with men at all elections
has been established since the last
presidential election-in Washington
in 1910 and in California this year.
There were in these states in the
census year 1,346, 1926 females of vot ng
age, of whom GA, 7S4 were native born.
The Census Bureau estimates that no
fewer than 100000 will exercise their
right of suffrage.
This would indicate larger percent
age of actual voters than in the case
of the men, a condition which perhaps
may be explained on the ground that
people are more solicitiousto exercise
rights recent y acquired than those of
longer standing.
| If the figure of 100000 for the wo-
men be added TO the 15,Sl5,000 esti-
mated vote for the men there is a
total of 16,445000 probable voters on
| Tuesday, which would represent an in
crease of a little over 100000 over
the whole number casting their bal
lots at the last presidential election
in 1908.
There were in the United States in
the census year 26,999,151 males of all
races and colors who were over the
voting age. OF this total 3,75S,587
were foreign-born and unable to vote
by reason of nome tizenship The de-
duction of this latter C ass leaves 49,
260. 564 natiye-born males of voting
are competent, if not hindered by some
restriction, to vote at the election.
Some of these nindrances which oper-
ate to reduce the total number of vot-
ers are failure to register, sickness, in
ability to establish or possess a legal
residence, conv elton of crime, failure
to pass state tests of iliteracy, and,
apparently, in many cases. the disin-
! clination to vote 1t is estimated that
about 100000 persons of voting age
largely colored, will be unable to cast
their votes because of illiteracy tests.

LEE COURT
CONVENED
YESTERDAY
GOOD ATTENDANCE At COURT
May Be Practically a Holiday
For Election

NOpeCldl TO l1tQeS-heCOTQeT.)
Leesburg, Ga, Nov. 4.-The fall ses-
sion of the Lee county superior court
convened here today with a large at
tendance. A pretty good sized docket
caused the appearance of a number Of
people at court, though the fall ses-
sions are always very largely attend
ed.
promptly, and the docket shows a
number of cases to be tried or other
wise disposed of at this session. There
are, however, no especially important
cases to be heard at the present ses-
sion.
The grand jury was organized
promptly this morning, with Mr.. S. j.
Yoeman as chairman. Very little bus
mess came before this body during the
day, in fact, it's duties this session
will be comparatively light.
1t is very likely that today's session
of the court will be practica ly, if NOT
entirely, holiday The grand jury
more than Likely will take a recess
anyway 1t is an unusual occurrence
for a national election to occur at the
time of a court session, though Lee
superior court convenes every year
on the first Monday in November and
consequently election day comes dur

CBy Beatrice Fair fax

The complaint of a young man that
his sweetheart fiirts kindles a regret
that a word so originally sweet and
innocent has become so unwholesome
and bedraggled,
Webster says that Irritation is play
ing at courtship without any cruel in
tention
The word IF irt" as he understood
it, meant a girl in her attitude toward
her lover. She fiirts with him. She
taunts him, she leases him, she fills
his days with torture and his nights
with despair, and just when he feels
that he can endure no more, she
gives a sweet tile smile of encour-
agement, and he falls in love a little
deeper
The fiirt, whom we admire in book
and story is like a pretty little but
terf1y, always keeping just far enough
ahead of her pursuers fingers to
keep him interested and make him for
get the long chase she has led him.
She f1irts with only one man And
that man is the man who loves her
and whom she loves
Some day she will confess her love,
and doubt not, that it will be lasting
and true.
THIS is the flirt of prose and poem.
1t is the woman whose goodness and
purity are given added zest by her
innocent desire to torment, and to
tease the man she loves.
There is a sad. difference in the
modern application. The word .oras
all it's original prettiness when tp-
piled to a girl who ogles and winks
and stares to attract the attention cf
a stranger. 1t is then that the bdttc =

THE GIRL WHO FLIRTS-
A PASTIME OF LOVE

fly has a little bit of the SOL of earth
on its wings.
If the sweetheart who writes me the
letter of despair has a girl who fiirts
with him and no one else, he ha' Civ
en- his heart to a woman in whom he
always will be interested. She loves
him, else she wouldn't torment nm.
1t is the torment of love that is us
great joy.
Love has been defined as "a sick
ness full of woes, all remed'es re
fusing, "a torment of mind, tenn
Fest everlasting"
1t is the bread and wine of life, the
hunger and the thirst, the hurt aud
the healing, the only wound which is
healed by another.
And only the man whose loved one
allures him one movement and shunS
him the next, keeping his heart fr3t
hot, then cold, knows all the delight
full ups and downs of love-mahng.
Unless a woman has tile of this de-
sire to torment, love-making becomes
as prosaic as buying steak at the
butcher
1t would look as reasonab' to cure
a child of dancing while at play, COM
peling it to take the slow and heavy
steps of the aged.
The girl who fiirts in this innocent,
artless way, with but one man, and
that man the one she loves and who
loves her, is having her playtime OF
life. There should be no talk of
cure; time with it's burdens will see to
