ATLANTA HAS SUFFRAGETTE
OF COL0RED PERSUASION
She Is Loyal TO The Cause, But Eats
The Same.

Atlanta, March 14.-Effie Speed Of
Atlanta is the only black suffragette
on record on either side of the pond
She is strong for votes for women. -
She figures that if she washes the ma
tons clothes she ought to have a
hand in making its laws, which sounds
just exactly like lot of other suffra
gette arguments. Repeat it to your
self aloud and see how sound and log
ical it is.
Effiie knows how to read. That is
another evidence of the fact that she
believes in new ideals for her sex
During hte past week she has been
rading the newspaper accounts OF
window smashing in London, and they
impressed her profoundly She pom
dered over them. Then she shifted q
little cocaine And then the solitary
policeman who stands on the corner
If Elliott and Mangum streets sent
riot call.
If any three suffragettes in London
smashed as many windows in the same
length of time as Effie, the fact hasn't
been recorded in the cablegrams.

At the recent meeting of the Hospi-
tai Association it was decided to give
an entertainment in the way of ben

throughout the entire year In ac-
eordance with this plan the benefit to
be given this month will be that which
will be arranged with the management
of the opera house for a benefit per-
formance to be given there probably
tonight week.
Very favorable terms have been Sc
cured from Mr.. Dudley for the per-
Torrance, and it is proposed to dis
play the popular film Cinderella, "
which has scored such a success else
where. If this is done, it should net
a good sum for the hospital benefit.
and it is for this purpose that the
performance is to be given
The matter of making money for the
hospital fund in various ways was TAX
en- up and discussed at the recent
meeting. and new ways will be devils
ed in this all important work. A May
festival will likely be arranged for
the benefit of the fund, as this is a fea-
ture that is comparatively new here.

BUYERS LOST
ON BALES OF
POOR COTTON
MANY RECLAMATION DEMANDS
WarehOuSGmGR Not Affected
By These Losses

While Americas houses are not af-
fected to any considerable extent, 50
far as known, other cotton firms in
this section are meeting heavy de-
mands for reclamation upon low grade
cotton from foreign spinners.
1t is said that these reclamation5
are from SO to Sc per bale in some
instances, and will prove a heavy loss
to buyers and shippers here in the
aggregate. A great deal of low grade
cotton has been sent abroad from this
section Of Georgia, and doubtless from
other places, and the reclamations up
on the shippers will run high into the
thousands of dollars.
The warehousemen are not affected
by this bareback, as the cotton was
sold by sample, and the buyer is the
only unfortunate one in the payment
of reclamation charges.

is TRYING To
Win BACK THE
FARMER VOTE
TAFT is MUCH Worried
Western Farmers Especially
Sore on President

Washington, d. c., March 14.-How
to win back the farmer vote is pro-
blem that is giving President Taft his
greatest concern. He realizes that
his advocacy of reciprocity with Can
ada alienated thousands of farmers of
the North, West and Northwest, and
that their support is needed to secure
him the nomination, no one knows
better than the president. The bulk of
the republican farmers didn't like Mr..
Taft's reciprocity stand, and they have
not been slow in voicing their objec-
tiOns. Tons of letters have come to
the president and to congressman from
disaffected districts, making their dis
approval clear. Finally it dawned
upon the president that something
must be done, and done quickly, to
keep this big farmer vote out of the
Roosevelt fold.
Taft adherents in states where the
farmer vote is strong are now giving
/ the presidents candidacy first aid
in an effort to keep this vote in the
stalwart ranks. In defense of the
president, his friends are sending out
statements showing that his position
on reciprocity was identical with Col.
Roosevelt's. They also point out the
complimentary things said by the
colonel about the president, particular
ly with reference to reciprocity before
their break Speeches and articles
by Col Roosevelt, in which he preach
ed the open door with our Canadian
neighbors was also referred to.
Senator Townsend, of Michigan, is
to be one of the Taft mainstays in
soothing the farmers In a talk at
the white house yesterday, he de-
clared that sentiment in his state was
rapidly veering around to Taft where
as six weeks ago Roosevelt seemed to
have the voter cinched.
The change of sentiment in favor
of President Taft has been marvellous, "
said Senator Townsend. professional
and business men, as we'll as farmers,
now find more to object to in Roose-
velt's Columbus speech than in Taft's
reciprocity stand.
+ The Taft people also look to Sena-
| tor McCumber, of North Dakota, to
do something to mollify the farmers,
but the senator is wisely keeping out
of the fight. His position is some
what delicate because he has both the
farmers and the millers to satisfy. His
farming constituency are dead.against
reciprocity, while the milling interests
favor the admission of milling wheat
free of duty. Between the two he has
enough burdens to carry, consequently
he is not eager to carry those of
! another.

An Easter egg hunt is another plan
that has been suggested and which
was discussed at the meeting.
Excellent progress is reported in the
matter of the collection of funds for
the new building. Mrs. r. L. Maynard
is chairamn of this committee, and
the committee has rendered excellent
service in this particular. The meet
ing was enthusiastic and largely at
tended and the splendid zeal shown
in the work of raising the building
fund is sure to bring early and lasting
results.

But Effie differed in another partic-
ular from the London suffragettes.
When sent to prison they all refused
to eat, so as to embarrass the jailr.e
Effie embarrassed the jailer here, but
not by her refusal to eat. She weighs
100 pounds and would eat up the
whole place ifthey just gave her a
chance. AS it is, the police say she
requires about twice as much as a n
average prisoner.
