A GOOD RULE FOR EVERYBODY.

From the Madisonian.
Hon. Charles H. Brand of Athens,
Judge of the superior courts of the
Western circuit, writes:
THE rule of my life has been to
live within my income.
''In addition, I always sought to
have more money or its equivalent
at the end Of the year than I pos
sessed at the beginning of the year
ITO accomplish these results one
must work, and keep on working,
and above all things not buy any
thing he doesn't need, and leave off
many things which he may need.
This involves some sacrifice, con-
slant labor and a frugal mode of liv-
ing. A strict observance of this SIM
pie life is a young mans hope, and
if he remains sober, honest and
truthful success will be his heritage.
This is the fruitage of thrift and
industry from a provident point of
view"

Not Satisfactory.
imposed.

The plan which the Ways and
Means committee has proposed for
increasing the states revenue isn't
proving altogether satisfactory. The
Savannah News doesn't think it by
any means a solution of the taxing
problem. 1t is proposed by the com
mittee TO create a bord of assessors
in each county and to give the comp
troller general the power of super
vision and suggestion. The plan
doesn't promise equalization of taxa
ton. 1t is common experience that
assessing boards never perform that
work justly or satisfactorily.

Vacations at Home,

It is a mistaken idea that one mus
GO a long distance from home. ant
spend lot of money to enjoy va
cation. and we are glad to note tina
Georgia railroads which have attract
i've resorts on their routes and towns
which have desirable resting places
in their midst are receiving the in
creased patronage of Georgians
Georgia vacations for Georgians
should be the rule with all.
Relaxation, rest and recreation are
much more desirable in a summer
vacation than sightseeing or spend
ing money on Injuries, and these ele-
ments can be had in a number of
Georgia places, where the item of ex-
pense can be reduced to the mini
mum. A week or two's outing on
the Georgia sea coast or in the
mountains in North Georgia would
be worth infinitely more in the way
of relaxation and recuperation to one
who is tired and whose nervous en-
ergy is depleted than trip to the
north, east or west, and there would
be the further inducement of seeing
new territory as well, in many cases,
for it has been the lot of very few
Georgians to see all of this great
state that is worth seeing.
And we hope every man who can
get vacation will take one, and use
it to the best possible advantage. The
nervous strain under which most
people work these days makes it all
the more essential that we stop oc-
casionally, relax our tension and give
our impaired physical and mental
machinery a chance to recuperate
Failure to do this paves the way to
sudden collapse, for nature will not
suffer her laws to be broken witho Il
the infiction of certain and rigid
penalties.
Cheap, common-sense and pleas
ant vacations can be had right here
at home, You will feel richer, be-
cause you will be so, and a good
deal more rested if you will take
few days Of genuine rest here in
Georgia than if you had expended
all your years savings at some fash
ionable resort elsewhere.

neighbors that she was going home
to the funeral. Had the meddlesome
and imaginative mother of Mary, the
eavesdropper, been pinned down to
facts she must have admitted that no
one had really heard Of Mrs. Blanks
leaving her husband, and that no
one had said that ne treated his wife
lily. The entire story was built on
the Imagination and sensational
tastes of gossip-monger. Innocent,
if surly, Mr.. Blank wonders why his
neighborS look at him coldly in his
hour of loneliness. And when Mrs
Blank returns she must add to the
burden Of her grief that of denying
an ugly story about her home life.
All this does not mean that men
are devoid of curiosity or malice
only that they have a more direct
way of justifying both. They go af-
ter facts. Men do gossip, but they
repeat what they know. Women
take a chance on the little they have
seen, plus the much they have heard
and color the result with thick ap-
plication of Imagination. Men 1are-
ly use the phrase "they say" Rath-
er, it is Brown told me-" And then
Brown is held responsible for the
rumor or statement. Men may be
curious about the doings of their
neighbors, or what goes on in the
Offices and stores of their competi-
tors, but they also have whole
some respect for scandal and libel
laws, and a simple and practical way
of demanding facts concerning cur
rent stories.
The story which is built on fact, or
the bit of gossip which is cruel but
true, will not work an injustice nor
injure the innocent. But the tale
prefaced by the little phrase They
say" is reasonably sure to drag some
guiltless party through the mire of
scandal and suffering.

PAGES ISLANDER OF THE SOUTH.

From the Macon Evening News.
One close to Mr.. Walter H. Page,
the American ambassador to Great
Britain, states that the latter now
regrets having written "The South
erner," the book which has brought
down Goals of fire upon his head.
Neale's Monthly recently pointed
out the invfdious and repreliensible
features of the novel, which are de-
serving of contempt and condemna-
ton, regardless of the name and sta
ton of the author. The book was
published with the name of '@Nicho-
las Worth" as the author, but it has
been generally understood all along
that Mr.. Page was the man behind
the nom de plume.
Treating the veterans and the
Daughters of the Confederacy with
contempt, sTurring at various South
ern characteristics, and apotheOsiz-
ing the negro, the book is dfsagreea-
bly, offensive. 1t is all the more so
when it is considered that over in
England this book will now be read
simply because the American ambas-
sador is the author Of it, and it will
be accepted as true picture of the
South and correct delfneation of
Southern manners and sentiments.
Mr.. Page may well express regret
for vicious piece of rubbish and

How a Suffragette Does 1t?
rom the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Love laughs at militant suffra-
gism. Miss Inez Milholland, aged 27,
a lawyer by profession and suffra-
gette, was the heroine in one of the
most romantic Opponents that has
occurred in her "set" in long time.
Twenty-Five days after her eyes first
beheld him she was wed to young
Hollander.
They were introduced by the in
ventor of wireless telegraphy. A
trip from America to England, then a
sudden trip to Holland and back to
London, a wedding in the registry
office, q message to parents and a
request for the usual blessing. Could
there be anything more romantic
than such rapid fire woofng and
quick wedding?
Nobody would be surprised if some
demurE young English suffragette
were to- elope with a young Britisher
and be married at one church while
another church to which she had set
fire was still burning. Love recog-
nines no n rriers. 1t makes fin CT
militancy in the cause of woman's
suffrage just as it does of Iocksmiths.
And It makes fun of fathers, too.
Mr.. Milholland, when he was asked
the name of his son-in-law, said:
Don't ask me- admitting his daugh-
ter hadn't taken him into her conf
dence. Why should suffragette
daughters trouble to get their faith
ers permission to do as they please?

JaiIS and Jail Life.

! uuSt hOSto w IL eoill, N''A'O
charging the Floyd county grand
| jury, said the county jail was unfit
for the yilest criminal TO stay in
News Item.
The complaint of unsanitary and
filthy jails is general throughout
Georgia, and there is now pend
ing before the general assembly a
measure to provide for official in
spection of them by an accredited
representative of the state. AS a
rule Jail buildings are notable for
their lack Of economic features and
convenience, and entail physical dis
comfort on inmates. Logically and
inevitably those held in durance
in such buildings must yield more
or less to the mental and moral sug-
gestions and tendencies that come
from staying there. 1t is conceiva-
Bile that decent and well-intention-
ed man, especially a boy or young
man, could experience as a result of
their Incarceration a measure of de-
moralization and disgust, as well as
of resentment, calculated to warp
his nature. We have seen Georgia
jails that suggest such results, and
thus society has done a grave wrong
to the person thus imprisoned and in
fuenced.
The time has come when our civil
ization should have expression in the
means of dealing with law violators,
with convicts as we'll as in other
zones of human activity and effort.
We are realizing, even if gradually,
that the care and treatment of con-
victs is far below the standard we
ought to set and reach, and is little
short of being shame and reproach
to us as a people. We are realizing
that the criminal instinct is largely
a matter of heredity, of environment,
of temperament, of education and
and that penology is
really and truly a science as worthy
of human study and aspiration as
any other matter of life.
1t is not convicts, criminals who
have been tried and condemned, who
make up the population of the coun-
ty jails. 1t is, as a general rule, per-
sons under suspicion or charged with
crime or petty offenses, people await
ing trial and many of whom certainly |
will prove they are innocent of the
offenses imputed to them. They are
in jail because, for one reason or an
other, they are not able to furnish |
bail. Yet these suspects share the
experience of the convicted MUIR
ierer, burglar or forger. All endure
The same discomfort, the same YER
min, the same uncleanliness, and are
subject to all the degrading and de-
influences of the county
prison.
County jails should be built and
Kept so as to insure the health and
comfort of prisoners-the moral and
Mental as well as the purely physical.
county jail should be a credit in
tead of reproach to society. 1t is
Dossible to do these things without
in over-much sentiment,
nd to keep in mind the need of
afety and discipline. The demands /
f justice can always be met in hui /
name and helpful spirit Society is
evoid Of warrant to make jail life a
Mystical ordeal, a means of moral
or of unnecessary hui
liliation to those there detained.

A bill is now before the legislature
to guard the people of Georgia
against the activities of the "blue
sky explOiters. The movement is
commendable, and should not be per-
mitted to lag. By blue sky" ex-
ploiters is meant the gentlemen who,
as promoters of undertakings or
schemes that call for preliminary sale
of stock, persuade people to give
up good money in exchange for said
stock. Blue sky is slangy, but the
phrase was coined because of the Law
ishness of the promises or repre-
sensations made by the field sOlic-
itors or agents of the scheme or I'M
dertaking whose stock is offered 70
the public. They offer so much in
the way of interest and dividends
that it Is all blue sky and no clouds.
