JANUARY FORECAST.
The flight of Time
From year to year
Is worth a word
In passing here.
His eyes are dim,
His hair is gray,
But he keeps on
Keeping, anyway.
Full many younger man than he
has hit the planet or the sea, and
showmen on their thrilling round
have come a cropper on the ground.
But Time, though frequently beset.
has never lost his balance yet, and
never will until some clown of av-
iation runs him down.
With ever slow
And measured grind.
The centuries
Dissolve behind,
And Ages,
AS they hurry thence,
Go by like pickets
On a fence.

He never stops
For gasoline
Nor has to readjust

January gets its name from Janus,
the celebrated tow-faced god of the
Romans. It was said of Janus that
he could see things both coming and
going and he was therefore placed on
guard at the beginning of the year.
Up to that time the year had begun
with March, but after Caesar took
ireland, the Irish insisted upon hav-
ing ST. Patrick'S day showed along
where it would not be too cold to
march, and Caesar made January the
beginning of the year. This occasion
ed a great uprising in, Rome, where
the year had always begun in March,
and Caesars defense before the Pill
lar of Pompey is considered to have
been the finest oratorical effort of
his career. He told the people that

home rule, which. reconciled every
body at once, and no, more was heard

''Tiser'' Whisky;
Buyers Guilty

Anderson, S. c.. Feb. 20. In
South Carolina the buyer of
whisky from a "blind tiger IS
guilty of a violation of the
law and is punishable just as is
the seller, accor ling to decree
handed down here by Circuit
Judge Ship, in dismissing sew
eral appeals from the recorders
court Of this city.
The defendants. convicted in
the recorders court on the charge
of transporting contraband
liquors, appealed on the grounds
that they were acting as agen S
for purchasers, and that the
whisky was not contraband be.
cause it was to be used for a law
full purposes. The defendants
stated that they secured the
whisky from a blind tiger, !"
naming the man, and that they
merely carried the whisky from
the tiger" to the purchaser.
Judge Shipp stated that the
defendants knew that whisky
was contraband when it was in
the hands of the tiger, and that
it's character did not change when
it passed into the hands of the
defendants, although it may have
been obtained by them for a law
full purpose.
The cases will probably be car
ried to the state supreme court.
Should that tribunal affirm Judge
Ships order in dismissing the
appeals and affirming the judg-
ments of the recorders court,
the ''bIind tiger" business in
South Carolina will be dealt a
staggering blow.

Atlanta'S Vice Crusade
Attracting Wide Attention

Atlanta, Feb. 21.-The fame Of
Atlanta for closing up it's restrict
ed vice district has spread all
the way to San Francisco. Chief
of Police Beavers received a let
ter from the Frisco authorities
this morning announcing that a
league in San Francisco is lead
ing fight to close the houses
there just as they were closed in
Atlanta. and asking Chief Beav-
ers for definite information re-
garding the result of the move
ment and the present situation.
It Seems that the eyes of the
whole country are fixed on At
lanta to see what will come of
the reform here. A few papers
and periodicals endorse the move
rnent; a few others condemn, but
the majority are it the light of
and withholding
judgment.

Men and Religion
Movement Again
In Politics.

Atlanta, Feb. 21-The old charge
that the Men and Religion Forward
Movement in Atlanta is mixing
too much politics WITH its religion,
was sharply revived this morning
when the open charge was made
against Marion jackson, of the
men and religion executive COM
miltee, that he had made politl-
cal trade with Chairman Carlos
Mason, of the police board, by
which men and religion agrees to
join with MIR. Mason's crowd in
fighting the proposed new city
charter; and Mr.. Mason on his
side agrees not to GUST Chief of
Police Beavers, who is regarded
by the men and Religion as their.
protege. Mr.. Jackson has denied
Mat there has been any trade. but
does not deny that the Men and
Religion movement will line up
against the new city charter in the
coming political fight. If this does
come about, it will not be the first
time that Men and Religion bulle-
.tins have figured in Atlanta polk
tics. The recent election of Mayor
Woodward is attributed by many
people directly to the bitter at
tacks that were made u alnst him.

Washington, Februar 19--Law-
renence 0. Murray. comptroller
Of the currency, today announced
his intention to stop the practice
Of national banks paying d'vi-
dends when their earnings did

national bank examiners to as

The comptroller saddle wanted
to induce the banks to strengthen
themselves by the accumulation
of substantial surplus.

he Judge Snspends Sentence
Against Boy Who Stole En-
gagement Ring To Give
Sweetheart

Atlanta, February 20. The
quality of mercy is not strained,
quoted Judge L. S. Roam of the
criminal division Of the superior
court yesterday afternoon as he
looked down from his bench upon
a boy who confess to robbing a
house in order that he might
give his sweetheart an engage
ment ring
The boys name was George
Wiley. He was only Is years old
and bore a good record. Every
circumstance seemed to indicate
that the boy had yielded to tempt
tation through sentiments which
in themselves would have done
him credit if he had just gone
about living up to them in a less
lawless manner.
A number Of social workers in
terested themselves in the case.
and Mr.. Friedman, whose house
the boy broke into, refused to
prosecute the case when heard
the true circumstances.
Following the boys plea of
guilty the judge suspended the
sentence, gave Wiley a fatherly
talk, and cited him without bond
to appear again at the end of
the year.
Wiley is still bent on giving
his sweetheart that engagement
ring but this time he has decided
to work for it.

Insurance Reports
Show Increase
Of Business.
And The General Prosperity
of The State

Atlanta, Feb. 81. State Insur-
ance Commissioner w. A. Wright
has received and compiled the an
nual reports of southern insurance
companies doing business in Geor-
gla and the total figures show
growth and prosperity in a strik-
irg degree.
The companies have until March
l to mike their reports, so that
the figures are not vet absolutely
complete, but most of the reports
have already been flied. so that the
general results can be accurately
deduced.
Increased business is particular
ly noticeable, in these reports,
among the southern fire insurance
companies. Georgia has several
companies Of her own which made
remarkable records, and the figures
on file at the capitol show that as
sets have climbed up while losses
have gone down.
Several factors are regarded as
being responsible for this increase
in husineSs. One of the reasons.
according to the insurance men, is
that business generally is good;
that soundness and conservatism
prevail, with mercantile stocks not
expanded, collections prompt and
prospects all encouraging.
The keep money at home''
slogan is also credited with "a large
part in the responsibility for the
growth and prosperity of south
ern fire insurance companies. This
movement was started a year or
two ago by the Association of
Southern Fire Companies, which
has membership from Virginia to
Florida, and is represented by
more than score of companies.
ALI lines of southern business and
industry Joined in the movement,
and all have benefited from it.
The ASSOCIATION above named will
meet in Atlanta within the next
few weeks, at which time off GERS
will be elected for another year.

Open Letter To The
People Of Ben Hill County

Fitzgerald, Ca, Feb. 20, 1913.
Mr.. I. Gelders, Editor Official
Organ Ben Hill County, City
Dear Sir:-Jurors and people
holding bills against the county,
and the public generally are de-
handing to know why they can
not get their pay for their SER
vices. and believing that it is my
duty to let the people know where
the trouble is, and in view of this
| am considering the advertise
menr of all of the MONEY and the
amounts due by each one, show
ing who have paid their taxes
and who have not. There is now
due the county $4,000 from de-
linquent taxpayers in the county.
Big TAXPAYERS holding up the
county and forcing the county to
struggle along and be criticised
for not providing funds to meet
it's expenses. We have just held
a two-weeks' term of city court
and another coming next week,
the people coming and serving as
Jurors leave their business at
home and then serve a week or
two and then find no funds to pay
them with, the blame must fall
where it belongs. 1t is unfair to
those who do pay their taxes to
have to pay interest on borrowed
money when there is money due
the county, and if collected
would save the county quite an
item of interest, besides paying
it's obligations.
This letter will be followed
with an advertisement within a
few days showing just who have
not paid, and then you can see
who is to blame for the county
not having funds to pay with.
Yours truly,

Chairman County Commissioners

REGIME for Brunswick Stew

81 have always been puzzled as to what
Brunswick stew is. Is it a New Eng
land or an English dish? And what is
It made of? Some one told me it was
made of game, but another person said
that which she had eaten was made of
chicken. If you have the directions and
the space will you please publish recipe
for Brunswick stew? E. A. b.
Brunswick stew was years ago a ia
nous dish in Virginia, and was named
for Brunswick county in that state, where
it probably originated 1t was made in
the days of long ago of squirrels, and is
delicious when thus prepared. But chick
ems may be used instead of squirrels,
making a dish that might charm an cpl
cure. / herewith give the genupine rec
ipe for old fashioned Brunswick stew:
Two large squirrels or three small ones,
cleaned, skinned, and jointed one quart
of peeled and sliced tomatoes. one pint
of lima beans. six potatoes, parboiled and
sliced: six ears of green corn, cut from
the cob: one-half pound or butter, one
half pound of salt pork, one teaspoonful
black pepper, one-half teaspoonful cay
enne pepper. one gallon of water, one
onion (rninccdD two teaspoonfuls of gram
ulated sugar. Stir the salt into the water
and bring this to a boil; put in all the
Ingredients except the tomatoes, sugar
and butter; cover closely and stew slow
ly, stirring often, for two and one-half
hours. Add the tomatoes and sugar, stir
hard, and stew for a full hour longer
Ten minutes before serving stir in the
butter worked into a teaspoonful of -four
bring to a boil, and serve in heated
soup tureen or a deep platter. Have less
or more seasoning, as your taste die
tates. Use fresh vegetables If possible.
