The Need of a New Boys High School

come wise and prudent citi-
zens, capable of carrying on
the government OF the city
perhaps, at some future date.
Many prominent citizens Of
Atlanta at present are alumni
of the Boys High School and
apparently the members Of
the Council believe that this
fact is conclusive proof that
the Boys High School needs
no attention. Without regard
to the increase in attendance,
1t is apparent to the most
cursory of observers, that the
very building itself Is no
longer what it once was.
Considering the source OF This
suggestion, we incline to think It
worthy Of immediate and earnest
attention.
These high school boys are old
enough to know EXACTLY
WHAT THEY WANT AND
NEED IN MATTERS OF THIS
KIND!
The Georgian extends 70 its
contemporary, The Boys High
School Tattler, the complete as
surance OF its respect and most
distinguished consideration
I'VE are persuaded The Tattler
tells only such tales out Of school
as may safely and sanely be told,
If The Tattler thinks the Boys
High School needs a new build
ing the Georgian inclinss to think
so, too!
And to that end, we trust the
powers that be will give due at
tention to what The Tattler has
to say with respect to this and
other matters.

Bv DOROTHY DIX.

What else is It but deliberate
deception in a woman to let the
man she is expected to marry
only see her when she is painted
and powdered and waved and
curled and dolled up In her very
best and most becoming clothss9
What else is 1t but fraud that
makes a girl in the days Of court
ship act so meek and mild that
she makes patient Griselda look
like a termigant? What else does
she run than a confidence game
when she agrees with everything
her best beau says and breaks
her neck trying to please him in
every way and gives him to un-
derstand that she considers him a
very fount of wisdom?
What else is 1t than deception
of the deepest dye for man when
he is counting a girl to tell her
lIldL IlS dbhS uOIlllhB Al llL0 bus
the bliss OF murmuring words Of
undying love in her little she'll
like ear and holding her littia
white hand in his. when he knows
that he'll drop the little white
hand the minute the mArrtags
ceremony Ia said over them as If
1t was a hot brick, and the MOST
that the shell-like ears will eveF
hear again will be his criticisrs
of her cookingP
What is 1t but rank fraud for
man when he is counting a girl to
shower presents and theater tick
cts on her and lead her to believs
that her matrimonial pathway viii
be strewn with chocolate creams
and violets, when he knows that
after marriage he will row with
her over a quarter for car fare?
It's the lies of courtshop that lie
at the bottom OF most domestic
infelicity, and If men and women
would be honest with each other
before marriage there would be
very little trouble after marriage.

"HE Supreme Court of an
other State has decided that
any kind of misrepresen-
tation goes in courtship, and that
il a young man tells a young
woman, as an inducement for
marrying, that he has plenty OF
money in the bank, lucrative
lob and a good home ready fur
nished to take her to that the said
young woman has no recourse in
law il she finds out that none or
these things is true but that
they are merely the pipe dreams
Of some modern Claude Lorraine.
n handing down the opinion
the justice said:
TT is a well recognized princi-
pie that, in the state Of mental
exaltation accompanying court
ship, statements made as to the
mental, moral or financial condi-
ton Of the parties shall not be too
closely scrutinized, nor shall they
be held to a strict accountability
therefor"
This is not only the law, buttit
is the commonly accepted view
of the matter Men and women
who are otherwise honest and
who would scorn to gamble with
loaded dice or marked cards do
not hesitate to play the love game
crooked.
Men who would not inveigle an
other man into a business under
false pretenses do not scruple to
entice q woman into matrimony
by means of ghttering falsehoods
and misrepresentation.
Women whose consciences
would not allow them to deduct a
year from the age of horse they
were trying to sell take off ten or
a dozen years from their own
ages when they are trying to
catch husband and hear never
q whimper from the still, small
voice.

$l,5OO,OOO FIRE
IN SAVANNAH, GA.

Whar"es of Merchants and
Miners Transportation Co.,
Warehouses and Business
Structures Totally DESTROYED.
Savannah, Ca, Feb. q
Damage estimated at $780,
600 resulted early today from
fire of unknown origin, which
swept the Savannah river front
for two blocks, destroying the
/ wharves of the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Com
pany, several warehouses and
business structures and the
Planters Rice Mill.
The blaze was discovered
shortly after l o'clock this
morning in shed on the west
ern end of the wharves. All the
available fire apparatus in the
city responded to the general
alarm and every effort was
made to check the confagra-
tion, with the assistance of fire
tugs in the river. The flames
spread from the Ogechee canal
east to within $50 feet of Broad
street, threatening many busi-
ness structures and shipping.
After fighting the flames for
four hours, the fire finally was
gotten under control without
loss of life. Several firemen
were slightly injured, but none
seriously.
The greatest loss was sustain
ed by the Central of Georgia
Railway Company, owners of
the Merchants and Miners
terminals and the Merchants
and Miners freight which was
stored in the warehouses. The
loss to this company is esti-
mated at 100000, covered by
insurance.
The American Steel & Wire
Co. warehouses on either side
OF the entrance to the Mer-
chants and Miners docks, were
partially destroyed with a dam
age estimated at between $50
600 and $4,000, also covered
by insurance.

AIKEN HOTEL BURNS.
Park in the Pines Destroyed by
Fire-LOsses Will Reach
Quarter of a Million.

Aiken Special to Columbia
State, Feb. q: In one of the
most spectacular fires Aiken
has ever seen and in which up
wards of quarter of a million
dollars in property, jewelry and
personal effects was destroyed,
the Park in the Pines hotel,
Aiken's famous tourist hos
tlery, was burned to the ground
this morning. There were
many narrow escapes, and for
a time, some of the guests were
in immediate danger of being
cut off in the upper rooms of
the three-story building or suf-
locating, but all of the al
guests came safely out of the
burning building. Most of them
lost everything they brought
here with them.
A. E. Dick, manager of the
hotel, was overcome by the
dense smoke when he rushed
down into the basement as soon
as the fire was discovered, and
except for the assistance of
some of the help who followed,
would have suffocated. He was
dragged out.
The building was az three
story frame structure contain
ing 1T rooms. The fire origi-
mated in a store room in the
basement, directly 1t the foot
of the elevator shaft, where
about 1000 feet of ilumber had
been placed preparatory to the
making of certain improve
ments on the bull ding.

GOOD BILL AT BIJOU.

Judging from the lineup of the acts

every reason to anticipate the most re-
markable vaudeville entertainment of

boys and a girl, in singing, dancing and
comedy, with several changes of cos
tune.
Additional comedy will be furnished

This all came out after the original
production Of the operetta in Vienna

revealed.
The new and lavish production Of
Lehar's famous operetta which is prom
