riage without love and without
romance is a hell on earth, and
the whole Standard OIL crowd
combined haven't got enough
money to pay anybody for going
through a lifetime of 1t.
The girl who marries for a
home or for the luxuries some
man can give her has no right to
draw her skirts away from any
woman of the street. She has
sold herself just as truly as any
Of that sorrowful sisterhood, and
with less excuse.
Moreover, no woman earns her
living In a harder way than she
who marries for It and who must
make all of the inevitable sacri-
fees of matrimony, not through
love which sweetens them, but be-
cause it is her duty as a wife.
Also remember this. girls, that
the old proverbs theory that
being an old mans darling is a
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-27

sinecure was evidently first pro-
pounded by a doddering old wild
over trying to marry a debu-
tante. 1t is a misleading guide
to go by. The rich old man is
willing to dress his pretty young
wife up like a fine doll and show
her off before his friends, but be-
yond her millinery no one need
envy the old mans darling her
luck.
Old people are almost invaria-
bly, tyrannical, and set in their
ways, and narrow, and selfish,
and opinionated, and to these I'M
amiable qualities the old husband
invariably and justifiably adds
Jealousy. The young wife Of an
old man earns all she gets by
putting up with the crabbedness
Of age, by having all of her ac-
lions spied upon, and by having
to nurse the rheumatism and the
govt when she would like to be
enjoying the pleasures that be-
long to her age.
Look at the young wives of old
men that you know, the girls who
have married for money. Is there
one happy-lookins one among
them all? Did you ever see wear
Ter, more bored looking faces?
They do not look alert and alive
as working women look. They
have not the smiling contented
faces that the wives Of so many
poor men have.

Better Love in a Cottage
Than Riches and an
Empty Life.

You see these women have
found out what a terrible thing
it is to have nothing but money,
and how little money really buys.
1t doesn't take you long to get all
you can eat and wear, and then
the purchasing power of money
stops. It won't buy you love, nor
a single solitary thrill, nor
brighten by one degree the
dreary, soggy, endless evenings
that you spend tete-atete with
husband whose society bores you
to extinction.
Marry the man you love, girls,
the man who interests you, the
man with whom you have every
thought and sympathy in COM
mon, though he be as poor as a
church mouse. Youth calls to
youth, you must match enthu-
siasm with enthusiasm, hope
with hope. You must enjoy the
same things like to do the same
things, to have any comradeship,
and comradeship between hus-
band and wife makes the only
enduring tie. It is the only thing
that brings happiness.
Better is a dinner of herbs that
two happy young hearts can
laugh over than a dinner at the
finest restaurant with an old
gourmet whose jaded palate moth
ing can tickle. Better a suburb
an cottage with love than a city
palace and an empty heart and
an empty life.

Has Only to Say Eyes

So say the worldly wise old
women. and the girl listens to
their words because she Graves
the good things they enumerate.
She would like to roll about in her
limousine. She would like to have
her opera box. and wonderful
gowns, and ropes Of pearls, and
diamond tiaras. She would like
to travel and see her picture in
smart society journals, and she
knows that she has just to say
one little word and all these
things will be hers.
Her head assents to what the
wise women say. but not her
heart. That cries out for some
slim youth with the curl Of boy
hood still in his crisp hair, with
his eyes full of dreams and his
pockets empty, whose lightest
touch thrills her from head to
foot, and the sound of whose step
coming toward her is the music of
the spheres to her ears.
But this is practical age.

lasted. I felt myself growing con-
temptuous.
At the close of a service in the
Fifth Avenue Church persons
would implore me to introduce
them to Mr.. Rockefeller, or put
this or that appeal before him.
If a friend did not mercifully give
me a ride home in his machine
somebody would follow me across
to Madison avenue, get into the
street car with me, and open fire.
Sturdy beggars took to sending
me their appeals by registered
letters, and as each registered
letter requires a signature, and
each signature means an inter-
ruption of. my work and time
wasted, l notified the postoffice
that l would not receive regis

book which had been sent to the
bank to be made Uphill the
Aston Trust Company demanded
why had refused to receive my
own pass book!
Some Of the letters were very,
very sad, breathing a real need
which I was powerless to relieve.
1t was heart breaking to know
OF the distress and to be able to
do nothing. Some Of them were
disgusting.
It was the piety Of the letters
which made my gorge rise. the
sentimental, hypocritical piety Of
them! l was always the hypo-
critics dear brother in Christ"
l came to hate the phrase. And
nineteen times out of twenty the

His wife and wife's sister. to
whom 1t belonged, have not been
told the loss. His wife is sick
and the news will kill her. His
own speculations have gone
wrong, too.
And the letter maunders on.
Day and night l have praved
and trusted for the return of our
fortune. My wife does not know.
for the news would kill her. I
have carried the burden alone,
sustained by the belief that
through prayer the money might
yet be restored. The pressure of
1t is agony; but this morning 1
thought of the promise that If two
or three are agreed touching a
matter the Lord will hear their
prayer. May I not come to your
home to see you? And let us
kneel and ask the Lord to work
a miracle for us. We will pray
Him in the name of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ and for
His glory to restore this money.

Dear man of God, will you

And for pages the pious pifie
drips along.

I have for the shameless cadgers

Rockefeller or see him the next
time I went to New York and
get him to finance the scheme?
I tried to look savage, but proba-
bly failed. And I said, "One of my
chief reasons for leaving New
York was the desire to get away
from men like you. Please go, and
leave me in peace" And he went.
For the men and women who
tried to get at Mr. Rockefeller

after coming to this country l

thousand a year. during the re-

and from all over the world.

do nothing now. I was not once

offer suggestion to him with re-

Chicago, Memphis & Gulf Railroad Liti
CATION Is Ended.


CATION Is Ended.
The Chicago, Memphis 4 Gulf Railroad,
formerly known as the Dyersburg North
ern, has been sold to the Illinois Central.
The Chicago, Memphis & Gulf was
owned by John H. Watkins of New York,
formerly well-known Memphis banker
and business man, and by S. Granger
Latta and Ernest Rice of Dyersburg.
The road has outstanding about $150,000
of preferred stock and $650,000 of bonds.
1t was built number of years ago
from Dyersburg to Tiptonville. Three
years ago Mr.. Watkins secured con-
trolling interest in the road and extend
ed it to Hickman, Ky. An agreement
was made at this time with the Illi-
nois Central, which road aided in the
construction work, that if at any time
the smaller road connected with any
other railroad system the Illinois Cen
trail should have the right to purchase it.
Such connection was made about a
year ago with the Louisville l. Nash
vile, but when demand was made for
the carrying out of the agreement of
sale the owners of the Chicago, Memphis
& Gulf declined TO sell.
Suit was filed in the United States
court at Memphis, and this was still
pending when the deal for the purchase
of the road was closed.

Steele, 10 years old, business man, near
the store recently occupied by Perkins
Brothers, at Stantonville, 10 miles east
of here. North had been to q we'll
near the store and was returning sith a
bucket of water when he met Mr.. Steele
returning from neighbours house with
a jug of milk.
No one was near them to hear words
that passed between them, but in two
minutes after the meeting North drew a
2s-caliber automatic pistol and fired after
being repeatedly asked not to shoot,
Several witnesses in the closed store
of Wyatt Brothers, rs feet away, heard
the entreaties.
Steele tasggered and as he fell an.
other shot was fred while he was on
the ground. Witnesses say other shots
were fred. Only one of the first took
effect, striking Steele in the lower part
of the back of the neck, ranging up
ward, breaking the neck.
The Steele house was only so yards
away and Mrs. Steele was one of the

when he was killed and it is said he
was not armed.
North ran into his office, secured his

escape.

BAPI|s1s TALK ON I|THING
DISCUSSED FROM BOTH BUSINESS
AND RELIGIOUS STANDPOINT.
Importance Of Systematic Contribution
Emphasized By Address of J. Camp
bell White at Baptist Con-
vention.

Chattanooga.--With two ex-governors
and one acknowledgement as presiding
officers at the different sessions, the
Baptist laymen's convention closed with
a large attendance, highly enthusiastic
over the impetus the missionary move
ment which the convention met primarily
to discuss has attained since SO many
Baptist leaders in the southeast have
met, exchanged views and reports on
contemplated extension of evangelistic
work both at home and abroad.
One of the features of the meeting
which attracted much attention was an
address on the results of tithing by IL.
z. Duke, known as "the 10-cent-store
king" of Dallas, Tex.
Other well-known speakers appearing
on the rostrum of the convention were:
Ex-Gov. A. H. Longino of Mississippi,
Lieut.. Gov T. II. Elicit of Virginia, Will
liam d. Upshaw of Georgia, DIR. B. D.
Gray of New York, DR.. H. F. Laflamme
of New York, Rev. J. Campbell White
and Rev. j. Il. Snow Of Texas.
Ex-Gov. A. H. LONGING of Mississippi
presided at the morning session of the
convention. Secretary Henderson, in in
Producing the Mississippi lawyer, said
that, like other governors promising to
attend the convention, he had business
which needed attention at his home at
Jackson.
Gov. LONGING began his Introductory
speech by saying: 81 come from state
where there are more boil weevils and
Baptists than anywhere else in the
world"
f. M. Mcconnell discussed "tithing'
from religious point of view after Mr..
Duke had spoken of it from business
standpoint.
Rev. J. S. Snow of Haskell, Tex, read
a paper On the church of which he is
pastor, and which is generally consid.
cred as the model church of the entire
Baptist denomination.
William ID. Upshaw of Georgia, who
has been conspicuous delegate to the
convention, delivered an address in his
characteristic style on his experience in
tithing.
Lieut-Gov T., TT. Elicit of Virginia
made few remarks from the floor on
tithing.
