ARGUED FROM
ALL ANGLES
Mrs. W. [. Peel Will Preside at
Meeting Next Tuesday-Prom-
Uses to DivuIge Her Views,

A general discussion Of woman
suffrage will be held at Taft Hall
next Tuesday evening, with Mrs.
William Lawson Peel, one of At
lantas society leaders, presiding An
effort will be made to have the meet
ing treat the subject as impaTtially
as possible and the selection Of Mrs
Peel as chairman was made for the
reason that she is neither opposed to
woman suffrage nor in favor Of IL.
OF particular interest will be the
first public expression Of Mrs. Peeis
views on suffrage. AS one of the
natural leaders of women in Georgia
her words are awaited eagerly by
the suffragists, who can not see how
she can be otherwise than with them.
THE idea of this meeting appeals
to me-" said Mrs. Peel 1T gives the
thinking people Of Atlanta an oppor-
tunity Of sanely discussing a matter
which is attracting so much atten-
ton throughout the world, and upon
which / think every person should
make a deep and conservative deci-
sion.
There is so much to be said both
for and against woman suffrage. The
women who are for it should express
their views I'm sane way, while the
men having arguments against 1t
should also express theirs and listen
attentively to the arguments favor
ing it. This, / believe, the people of
Atlanta can do.
1T is time for the people Of Geor-
gia to give deep thought to this sub
ject. Already nine States have given
women the right to vote. With such
a start as this modern America must
know that the fight will be aggress-
lively pushed. 1t is gaining Roadway
in our State and it is only a question
of a short while when every voter
will have to make up his mind pos
itively.
Il will not take over five minutes
to express my views, and until the
time for this meeting | will not di-
vulge them"

LIGHT VOTE MARKS
BACON SELECTION
Georgia's Senior Senator Re-
turned-First To Be Chosen by
Popular Ballot,

For the first time in its history
Georgia has a United States Senator
elected by popular vote. He is A. O.
Bacon. He was reelected Tuesday
for a six-year term, beginning March
4, 1918.
Available figures show Senator
Bacons election was practically
unanimous. Scattering votes, it is
understood, were cast for others, but
they were mostly "favOrite sons"
and received only complimentary
votes in their own counties.
Senator Bacon was the nominee of
the Democratic party, and there were
no announced candidates against him.

That things incline to go contrary
wise in this world will seem to some
people again to be demonstrated in
the fact that, while the legislative
galleries have been unusually well
filled this session, there apparently
are fewer members than usual de-
sirous Of playing to them particu-
Iarly.
So far-but it is well to knock on
wood, perhaps-buncombe and bal
derdash in oratory have been con-
spicuous because Of their absence
from the floor of either House this
session.
AS matter Of fact, the House has
developed but one real, jam-up ora
tor-Mr Olive, Of Richmond-and II
there is any really eloquent speaker
on the floor of the Senate other than
Mr.. Allen, of the Twentieth District
he yet is to come forward and claim
his own.
The present Legislature seems in
clined in no way to run amuCk and
pull grand, gloomy or peculiar stunts.
1t has addressed Itself vehemently 10
nothing so far, and there is no undue
excitement anticipated
Newspaper men, always hunting for
something promising upon which to
hang a story, are finding the present
General Assembly rather dry pick
ings.
In these circumstances, II is more
or less strange that the gallery at
tendance should hold I'm so well from
day to day-unless, of course, ii he
that the novelty of the thing is the
drawing card.
The sessions of the two Houses are
about half over, and everything like
excitement-if there is to be any ex-
cltement-still is in the future.
As on member puts it, The present
Legislature is one Of the most perfect
ladies the State ever entertained"
MT Shuptrine, Of Chatham. is very
happy that his druggists bill is out
Of committee and on its way to the
statute books.
The gentleman from Chatham is n
new member but already has learned
his way around amazingly well. Per-
sonally he is very popular, and in ad
dition to that he is a tireless worker
He is a druggist himself, and his
druggists bill is very dear to his
heart, and to the hearts of druggists
generally, it may be stated.
Shuptrine. Myrick and Mccarthy,
the Chatham delegation, pretty well
cover between them the entire legis-
lative field of endeavOr.
Mr. Cole OF Barlow has introduced
bill in the House reducing the fees
of Ordinaries issuing pension warrants
from 81 each to 10 cents.
Cole thinks the Confederates re-
ceive little enough by way Of pension
compensation as it is. without reduc-
ing it 81 every time the pensioner has
to o to the Ordinary for service.
There are some Ordinaries who
habitually refuse this compensation,
but the majority of them do not. Cole
thinks no one of them should get more
than nominal sum for the trifle OF
work in this connection, and he fig
ures that his bill will save several
thousand dollars annually to the pen
sioners.

Congress Is Worried;
Mileage Fee in Peril

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Reallz-

In regard to the much talked of

Rev. Mr.. Gum declares he believes
women should dress nicely, bat mod

men do admire woman when she is
really attractive. He says he does
not object TO women following the
latest models and styles in dress, al
though he thinks the decouete waist
and the slit skirt combined are rather
extreme. Such feminine exposure, he
adds, is not an aid TO mstrimony, for
while men may be fascinated by such
attire on the part Of women. they do
not approve of it in the case of their

BUMPER WHEAT YIELD
FOR INLAND EMPIRE

Twenty per cent increase over last
year wheat crop is the estimate of
the 1913 yield of the four Pacific
northwest states, made by the stats
teal department of the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce from figures re-
eeived from all wheat growing sec-
tions.
The crop will be the largest in the
history of the section, weather condi-
tions having been ideal for bumper
yield.
The Chamber of Commerce estimates
the 1918 wheat crop of the country
tributary to Spokane as 10000, 900
bushels, against 10s,65s,0 900 bushels in
1912. About 100000 acres are in
wheat in Washington, Oregon, Idaho
and Montana, the wheat belt of these
four states being in the territory of
which Spokane is the financial, COM
mercial and industrial center.
In many parts of the Big Bend and
Palouse districts yields of between 40
and 90 bushels to the acre are re-
ported.

FIRST COAL. DISCOVERED
IN VIRGINIA CENTURY AcO

The presence of coal in the Rich
mond Basin of Virginia was known as
far back as 100 and mines were OPEN
ed and worked at as early a date as
100. 1889 shipments were made 10
some OF the northern states. In 1922.
according to R. C. Taylor. in his
Statistics of Coal, the production
amounted to $4,000 short tons. For
nearly century the Richmond Basin
maintained some prominence as a coal
producer, but in 1882, when the Poca-
hontas district was opened. followed
shortly afterwards by the development
OF the New River field in West Vir-
ginia, the mines in the Richmond Ba-
SIN wre put at disadvantage and
operations were for many years prac-
tically suspended.
During the last four years. how
ever, new life has been introduced in.
to the Richmond Basin areas by the
reopening of the old Gayton mines in
Henrieo county. For many years af-
ter the opening of the southwestern
virginia and the southern West Vir-
glnia Goals the mines Of the Richmond
Basin lay idle or were worked only
Tor a restricted local market. The
Richmond Basin is the only area pro-
ducing free burning coal which lies
Immediately adjacent to the Atlantic
seaboard.

SENATOR SMOOT SPEAKS
AGAINST UNDERWOOD Bill

Asserting that foreign lobby had
influenced the Democrats in the fran
ing of the Underwood Simmons tariff
bill, Senator Smoot, Republican mem
ber of the finance committee, yester-
day delivered vigorous attack on the
measure.
"There has been a lobby here in
behalf of foreign manufacturers he
charged, "such as was never before
witnessed in the history of the ma
tion; and they have got even more
than they asked for. The Italian
Chamber of Commerce of New York
asked for certain reductions and the
Democrats in nearly every ease have
given more than was asked
The senator assailed the increase in
the free list, especially with reference
to sugar, wool, pig iron and textiles.
He charged that the sugar industry
of Hawaii and Porto Rico would be
ruined, with consequent benefits to the
so-cailed sugar turst, and that China,
with its great steel plants, would cap
ture the steel business of the western
hemisphere.
Referring to the Walker tariff bill
of 1850, on which he contended the
present bill was largely modelled, Mr..
Smoot said that the Walker law pro-
vided for the admission free of only
about nine per cent of imports, while
the Underwood Simmons measure al
lows So per cent of the greatly increas-
ed volume of incoming trade to enter
untaxed.
"All the world knows how this
country suffered as a result of the
Wilson tariff law in 1894, he con-
tinued, but the average rate of duty
now is more than two per cent lower
than was the case under the last
Democratic tariff, when the business
of the nation was paralyzed and three
million persons throuwn out of employ
ment.'
China and Japan, he said, with the
ever increasing mills, would have
disastrous competitors in the home
market, in the steel industry. He
coneluded:
"The question Of the future will be
competition with the starvation wages
Of Asia instead of with the low rates
of Europe"
