THE LTTTLEsT ONE

THE LITTLEST ONE
There be three lads, and two are
strong
And straight and fine with
manly grace,
Marked to find favor In the
throng,
All beautiful of form and face.
And one is small and pinched and
wan,
With timid eyes and hating
ways,
And with no gifts to press upon
The memory of the passing
days.
There is a mother loves the all
And has for each loves tender
ness,
She answers every hayward call.
She gives to each her soft ca
ress;
Yet deep within the heart of her
Loves hottest ministers are
spun,
Golden and glad without blur
To heap upon the littlest one.
oh, striker hearts, all sad and
torn,
For you there is this perfect
bliss:
For those who are despoiled, for
lorn.
A mother keeps her tenderest
kiss.
I deem that God ordained 1t so,
Mother was made that you
might run
Home to her heart from fear and
woe
And be to her the littlest one.

But nobody staked me to a single
sigh, although l had whopper of

tacular about a kojfschmerzen

The other thing found out Is

ALARM NEEDLESS,
SAYS CHAMBERS
Candidate for Mayor Admits,
However, City's Problems
Need Attention.

Following Alderman John s. Cam

in Atlanta, published in The Georgian,
Councilman Aldine Chambers, candi-

first formal statement of his views.
In part. he said;
while I see no occasion to be
alarmed at conditions in Atlanta. I adj
NIT there are problems requiring the
utmost energy and most careful oOnsid-
Grafton. But we have never seen the
day in our wonderful growth when this
was not the case.
The extension Of our limits added
100 per cent to our territory and almost
1000 per cent to our mntcipal needs.
The 100000 bond issue has tenn
porarily increased the strain on the
city treasury through the sinking fund
commission.
The decision Of the county commits
sion to spend 10000 worth Of work
on the city sewers instead of 800, 900
worth has delayed street work CORE
spOndingly.
Means Big improvements.
But the legislature has amended
the charter, giving the council the right
to revolutionize the street department.
1t will mean wonderful improvements.
"Oficisls have come to realize the
need Of more improved machinery for
the street department.
There should be more cooperation
between the city departments Each
should know at all times what the 9TH
ers are doing.
-Four years ago the widening Of
Marietta street was considered a gi-
gantic undertaking. Today we realize
1t was just a beginning Similar plans
are being taken up In all sections Of the
city
I'VE want no stagnant~city. We want
our energies taxed to their utmost. BY
this means Atlanta accomplishes things
and keeps in the forefront Of develop

that Solicitor General h. A. Matthews,
Of Fort Valley, who Is a candidate for
Judge Of the superior courts of the Ma
con circuit, promised protection to at
least two violators Of the prohibition
law in exchange for their votes and
support has been made and denied.
However, there will probably be more
interesting developments, depending
upon whether Mr.. Matthews can ascer-
tain who paid for an advertisement in a
Macon paper yesterday that contained
this charge against him.
The advertisement asserted that Ike
BashnsN a saloon keeper, who has
been convicted several times, and
against whom a case is pending now
is managing Mr.. Matthews campaign
for Judge. 1t further asserted that
BashinsN and MIR. Matthews went to-
sether to w r. Anderson. another sa-
loon keeper, and Bashinski with the
candidate for Judge acquiescing as
sured ANDERSON he would be protected
in the future II he voted for Mr.. Mat

Mr. Matthews Immediately declared
that the charge was a canard and that
the man who made it was "a contempti-
