AN INCENTIVE TO SAVE.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A California man of 80 has teen
left $1,000 by his uncle on condition
that he first earn and save $1,000 of
his own. Until the thousand is Sc
cured in the manner designated the
bequest will lie dormant.
One is inclined to commend the
Judgment of the uncle If young
man has not sufficient will power TO
accumulate $1,000 he is not likely to
possess the wisdom necessary to
handle five times that amount hand
ed to him as a gift.
This world is full Of men whose
mental vision extends no further
than the next pay day, who have 10
more notion of saving money than
they have of growing tail feathers.
Their acquaintance among pool
room habitues is far more eXtenst Te
than among receiving tellers. A
week S idleness means a doubtful ac-
count at their grocer's.
This young Californian will either
get his uncle's bequest or he will not
deserve it. In either case, the money
will not be wasted.

Looking Ahead,

Ten states have already granted
full suffrage to women, and thirty
one states have granted them school
suffrage il. some form. The Houston
(Texas) Post thinks that is signtfi-
cant, and feels confident that other
states will grant full suffrage before
long
Our contemporary, however, is not
looking for rapid progress of wo-
mans suffrage in the South, as it
will require many years for the pro-
paganda to enroll the Southern wo-
men in the war. But they will get
in eventually, for women are more
active than ever in asserting their
interest in the problems Of the time
Any Of us can see that times have
changed so far as women are con-
cerned. Very few of the moderns
resemble the mothers of the old
South. They are progressive, taking
q hand in things generally and ap-
parently determined to widen the
scope of their activity.

The Way Of the TransgreSsOr.

Thoughtless people who make a
joke of the solemn warning that the
way of the transgressor is hard"
will never hear from any pulpit a
more striking illustration of that
truth than is presented to the world
in the person of j. Wylie Smith, who
has returned to Georgia a living skel-
eton after having suffered terrible
hardships while fugitive from JUS
tice Two years ago Smith was a
prosperous and respected Atlanta
business man. He had a happy fam
lily and was popular among his
friends. But he yielded to the temp
tation to get money faster than it
could be made honestly, and wrecked
a company of which he was the pres
ident. His thefts were Immediately
discovered and he fed to Mexico, and
since that moment to this his life
has been a hell on earth. For awhile
he rotted in a Mexican jail. Later
he was impressed into the army of
Orosco, a rebel general. Broken in
body and spirit by privations and dis
ease, with the shadow Of death how
ering over him, he finally crawled
back to American territory and sur
rendered, and today occupies a cell
in the Fulton county Jail. His
wife, a broken-hearted woman, una
BILE to live in the city where her hus-
band is accused of betraying the
trust of some of his best friends, has
disappeared from Atlanta to live with
relatives in another part of the coun-

ERROR STILL IN CIRCULATION
I'm the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
Papers continue to copy state
ment sent out by Mr.. Hastings of
| Atlanta which he claimed was en-
dorsed by Prof. P. A. Methvin Of the
agricultural department. That state
ment said Georgia bought outside the
state corn, hay, oats, other feed stuff
and meat and dairy and poultry
products amounting to $172, 1876, 900.
This error has travelled. 1t appeared
in Worlds Work, in many Western
papers, in the Atlanta Constitution
and some of our own weekly papersl
This amount exceeds the cotton crop
of Georgia by $38, 100000. Geor-
gia's population is about 10000 900.
Hastings has put it that. We import
to Georgia about 6O,000,000 bushels
of corn. That would be importing
about 80 bushels of corn per capita
to our state, leaving out all the corn
raised here. In 1909 there were
planted in Georgia 1888, 061 acres
in corn. The bushels made were
39,374,569. The corn crops of 1910,
1911 and 1912 exceeded those of
1909. We produced in 1903 about
twenty bushels per capita. Add that
to the thirty Hastings had us to i'm
port and we have SO bushels per cap
ita Think of the wheat and potatoes
grown in the state and add so bush
els per capita for corn and we be-
come the greatest grain consumers
in the world. Mr.. Hastings cited
Prof. Methvin as authority for his
statement. Judge NJ. c. Edwards of
Dawson in a signed article in the
Telegraph a few days age exposed
the errors of Mr.. Hastings, but his
statement is travelling over the cour-
try, aad the correction not copied.
Doubtless Prof. Methyin, pure "a. a
inspe2.o or for Georgia, will call down
Mr.. Hastings for his misleading a.
ticle.

Gathering Gold From the Oceans Floor
BY Frank Parker stockbrde in Popular Mechanics.

| Very few divers have descended
as deep as 100 feet. One adventur-
Gus young man went down 1876 feet
in Puget Sound, but on a second at
tempt his helmet was crushed by the
IS pound water pressure and he was
hauled up dead. Two English naval
officers are said to have descened 21O
feet, but could remain at that depth
only a few seconds.
The problem of getting down to
| the deep-lying treasure ships, there
fore, is essentially one of construct
ing a mechanism sufficiently rigid to
Withstand the terrific water pressure.
1t must carry it's own supply of oxy-
gen, since any sort Of flexible air
tube would be crushed fiat long be-
fore a depth of 400 feet could be
! reached, and it must be so construct
ed that the diver inside it can accom-
pIish something after he reaches the
wreck, even if he can do nothing
more than attach graphing hook
to a copper ingot.
! The announcement for inventors
working along these lines is found in
the knowledge already at hand OF
wrecks bearing treasure, some of
which have been sunk for hundreds
Of years. In 1902 a Spanish fleet
carrying quantities OF gold from
Santo Domingo sank off the island
Of Santa Lucia at an unknown depth
in a hurricane that drove the ships
of Christopher Columbus into a near
by harbor for safety. From then on
for two centuries the record of the
Spanish conquest Of America is fill
ed with reports OF sunken treasure
ships bearing the riches OF Peru and
Mexico back to Spain
Probably no diver will ever reach
the wreck of the Titanic, which lies
two miles deep in mid-Atlantic,
where the water pressure reaches the
tremendous force of 4,574 pounds to
the square inch, but it is easily pos
sible that some of the inventors now
working on the main problems in
volved will reap incalculable riches
from wrecks yet to be discovered at
depths of thousand feet or more.

Misunderstanding Adjusted.

Word comes from the Philippine
Islands that the representatives of
the United States have made salts
factory adjustment Of all misunder-
standings with the Moros and Sulu
peoples, and that peace and order
reign in those provinces. The diff
culties alluded to grew out of relig-
ious matters. Those people are Mos
lens, or followers of the faith taught
by Mahomet, the Arabian prophet.
Many people of the United States are
forgetful of how many Moslems I'm
Gle Sam has in his outlying posses
sions" But they are over there, per
haps 100000 of them, a semi-civil-
lied, fanatical people, but as firmly
welded TO their faith as any Turk
or as the Mexicans to the Catholic
faith. These Filipino Mahometan:
look to the United States government
for protection in their religious rites
and they are getting protection and
a square deal. liz

A BIFF FOR THE TIGHTWAD.
from the Marietta News.

From the Marietta News.
If there is anything on earth that
gives us longing for eternal rest
and deep, damp solitude it is the
man who comes to town or county,
builds up a big, paying business,
grows rich and then squats down on
the gold like a hen on door knob,
and is too stingT even to let the
gravels grind in his own gizzard.
A real, genuine 1S-karat, stingy,
selfish man can't be honest, and if
he ever gets to heaven and has wings
he will fold them UP and walk for
fear he will ruffie plume or lose
a tail feather. The kind of men who
build up town and county and en-
joy life and make the best citizens
are enterprising. energetic and lib
eral men, who believe in living and
letting others live; who do not when
they get a dollar squeeze it till the
Goddess of Liberty feels like she had
on a corset. Such squeezing is what
causes hard times and stops the cir
culation of the American eagle. If
it were not for our broad-guaged
enterprising men it would be impos-
sible to build up a prosperous city.
