How Grafters Are Made
Early Training Of Boys
Responsible F or Their
Acts in Later Life.
Written For The a tlantu Georgian
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Copyright, 1912 by Americana ournal- Examiner.

T F you do not want men to be
grafters, begin with the little
boys in their kindergarten
age; and train their minds to think
OF something besides personal gain.
Do not buy their good behavior,
or their polite attentions, or their
small duties with pennies, sweet
meats, or promises of picnics. In
still into their young minds a per
sonal pride and self-respect which
will cause them to be ashamed of
receiving presents for every good
act.
This can be done by making the
child confdant and by talking in
a friendly way which will interest
and entertain. about the value of
good manners, and the pleasure
and happiness which older people
feel in children who show good
breeding: and making it plain that
any lack of politeness and willing
ness to oblige others. or any dis
play of greediness for pay, or acS
ceptance~ of money for little acts of
courtesy, reflects upon the family
pride and gives strangers an OPP
portunity to look down upon such
rbil1rap

What Children Want.

Children want to go somewhere
They want to see things, and this
constant desire for motion, move
ment new scenery, new ideas, new
sensations, is all a natural part of
the great evolution of the fndivid-
ual.
The child learns through his
senses, and should learn in joy.
The thing that interests him, that
holds his attention is the thing
that is educating him.
The use of moving pictures is
being advocated in a great number
of schools, from the grades up to
postgraduate courses.
There was a time when a piano
in a private home was considered
the very height of luxury. Now the
most modest cottage contains a
serviceable instrument.
can remember when the Reming-
ton typewriter was exhibited at
Philadelphia at the Centennial ex-
position. Operators were desired,
and an advertisement was placed in
the Philadelphia papers for men or
women to run these machines. A
postscript was added to the ad-
vertisement thus: only those who
can play the piano need apply"
1t was supposed that the degree
of digital skill acquired in playing
a piano was requisite in running a

was a very wonderful plaything.

Well Done, Gen. Lyon.

Through the Indifference of the vot-
ers the grafters won signal victory
and the State sustained great loss in
the second primary. We refer to the
defeat Of j. Fraser Lyon who was a
candidate for reelection to the office
of attorney general. When he was
elected six years ago grafters
held high carnival in South Carolina
but he soon put them to route. Al
though ne went down in defeat he has
made record and name for himself
as a capable, loyal and true public SER
want that will occupy prominent place
OF the pages of South Cardinals his

more richly-deserved tho hearty 'Well
done" than does j. F1aser Lyon.

Lawlessness Has Legal Sanction.

That the near-beer establishments OF
Augusta are nothing more nor less than
open barrooms was clearly proven when
the recent "strike" was ordered.
When the city was threatened with
gross disorder and rioting those in au-
thority gave instruction to the effect
that all near-beer saloons be closed
and kept closed as long as the "strike'
lasted. If the beverages that are sold
over the counters of these establish
ments do not intoxicate why close
them? Why not close the drug stores
or the grocery stores? Is it not conced-
ed by the city authorities that these
places dispense beer and whiskey in
s tead of so-called near-beer.
If these saloons sell into1icants do
the city officials not know that it is
done in open violation of the state
laws? Then, why do they not issue an
order requiring these open bsrrooms to
be closed permanently? Instead OF on
certain day, when the "strike" was
call ed off, permitting these fragrant
violators Of the law to reopen for
business why did not the mayor or
chief of police require the men under
them to continue to enforce the law by
keeping these places closed? A commu-
nifty is certain to reap what it sows.
This open disregard of law, worse still,
having practically the sanction of those
in authority, can not do otherwise than
produce lawlessness in other forms.
After all is not the necessity for call
ing out the militia in Augusta, to some
extent at least, result of this legal
sanction of lawlessness?

Want Jury of "Peers."

Something new is always being
Sprung" in Georgia. Recently the
question has arisen as to how many
jurors should belong to the same
church. The removal Of the jury CON-
missioners of Dougherty county has
been requested upon the ground that
rs per cent. Of the jurors which they
select are Methodists. We can see nc
reasonable objection to having Ia good
Mcthodists, 100 per cent, on a jury. It
is probable that those who raised the
objection in Georgia want q jury OF
rheir "peers", prefering no church
members on the panel.

Situation Not Inviting.

The governor has declared that the
cars on the Aiken and Augusta trolley
line shall not be run until there is quiet
restored, so that there can be no disor-
der, and then he asks the attorney
general about vacating the charter of
the line because no cars are run. Is
that not pretty hard on the men who

The Tent Meeting.

Rev. Pierce Kinard began the re
vival meeting Sunday afternoon and
the interest has been steadily in
creasing since that time. Two ser
vices are held daily in the large
tent, the morning service at 1880
and the night service at 1880. Mr.
Kinard is accompanied by Mrs. Ri,
nard, their daughter, Miss Cecile,
and the gifted pianist, Mr.. John
Landrum. Miss Kinard has been en-
dowed with the voice of nightin
gale and her solos are greatly en-
joyed by all who attend the services
Realizing that she possessed very
decided vocal talent, Miss Kinard's
parents gave her special training
for several years, which has thor
oughly equipped her for directing
the music in these revival meetings
Mr.. Kinard is conducting these
services unaided, preaching twice
each day, and If the people WILL
place themselves within reach Of
his gospel messages his coming
among US will be of lasting benefit.
His practical experience in fighting
the battles of life, his store of com
mon sense, his entire conservation
his service of more than twenty
years Jas an evangelist, his close
fellowship with the God for whom
he so faithfully and zealously Ia
bors, eminently fit him for the work
in which he is engaged.
Everybody is invited to attend
these revival services. The large
tent will seat more than thousand
people and when these are filled
chairs will be provided. The song
service that is held just before the
preaching begins is a very enjoya
BILE feature of these meetings. AL
ways reach the tent early so as tt
hear and participate in the song
service.

AN IDEA OF PROGRESS
IN SCIENTIFIC WORLD

One gets a good idea of the prog
ress being made in the scientific
sworld when he reads in 1.-THE Amer
lean Government" the new book by
Frederic J. Haskins, that it requires
seventeen good-sized volumes to in
dex the contributions made to scien-
tifc literature each year. The max
ing of this great index is one of the
best examples of what nay be ae-
complished by international coop
GRAFTON. The headquarters of the in
dex is in London. Each of the civil
lied nations of the world makes a
direct governmental appropriation
for a regional bureau, which goes
through the annual literary produc-
ton of that county in search of ev-
cry item of scientific literature.
Then all the regional bureaus send
their work to London, and there it Is
all made over into n great index.
Over ten thousand pages are required
for each annual catalogue. 1t is not
a money-making proposition there
being no expectation or desire for a
surplus.
Untold millions of dollars are be-
ing spent annually throughout the
world in scientific research and thou
sands of the foremost thinkers Of
the world are devoting all Of their
valuable energies to these investiga-
lions. But it has remained for the
great International Catalogue to
serve as the worlds clearing house OF
science. 1t lays before the individual
who has access to II the scientific
work of the whole world.
Uncle Sam is doing his part in
the worldwide efforts to make it
a success. He Is doing what he can
to unite the nations into the fedora
ton of the world, the parliment of
man" And science is being made
the instrument by which 1t is ac-
complished. 1t was an American
who first suggested this great cata-
logue. You will find the whole story
entertainingly told in the new book
