ATLANTA MOTHERS GIVEN
HINTS KEEP KIDS COOL

Atlanta, May 30.-In the midst Of
the heat wave from Atlanta is suffer-
ing, the city health authorities have
offered advice to mothers as to how -
keep their babies in health. Keep the
baby cool in one garment, wash it ali
over every morning, and if it is IL
don't force it to take food but call a
doctor Immediately. Those are the
principal rules laid down. In addition,
they suggest that the baby should be
given all the cool boiled water it will
drink.

part belonging to women, children, and
people of small means, all of which
seems to have vanished within brief
time. The estimate of 100000 includ-
es the original capital stock of $780,
E000, which, it seems, was long ago
dissipated and is now utterly worth
less. However, there are proven claims
OF deposite-s amounting to $4,000,
besides unverifed deposits of $4,000.
In addition, there are other items un-
der this account of $4,000, making a
grand total of $3S1, 900. 1t is said
the amounts due other banks will ag-
gregate $4,000.
The total liabilities, capitulated, are
estimated at about $5O4,000, besides
the capital stock of 100000, to be
added. This is supposed to include the
"overdrafts" of about $4,000, the
greater portion of which is regarded
as entirely worthless; probably $4,000
to $4,000 being considered collecta-
BILE.
Notes held by the bank, good and
Indifferent, may approximate $4,000,
a considerable portion of them being
deemed collectable. The total differ
ence between available assets and liza
bilities is about $4,000 it was said
recently by one of the attorneys inter
ested. Of this large amount something
like $4,000 seems unaccounted for,
according to statements of those in
terested in the banks affairs.
No authentic information has been
given out by Receiver Dunlap, as this
would be contrary to the regulations
of his department.
When the Amerieus National closed
its doors February Srd, after a most
prosperous seven years career, the
people of Americus were stupefied with
establishment. About nine hundred de
positors, many of whom, it is said,
made large deposits over the counter
only the day before the failure with
out the slightest suspicion of impend-
ing danger, were appalled,. Up to the
last day and hour, it is said, deposits
flowed in freely, and the bank was
considered one of the safest in Geor-
I gia. A comparatively small amount
, of cash was found in its vaults when
! Receiver Dunlap assumed charge the
next day. The work of depletion had
been terribly complete.
To this bank hundreds of people,
some of them widows, had been at
tracted by the alluring rates of inter
est offered, and the belief that their
money would be absolutely safe in a
national bank Merchants, farmers
and others deposited there. Many
poor people who had saved a pittance
for their declining years, had their
little hoard swept away-just how
they know not, but they grieve in the
fact that it is gone.
Americus has been dealt a body
blow, and much suffering will be en-
tailed as the result of seeming gross
mismanagement in the banks affairs;
to express the case mildly.
The affairs of the national bank will
be liquidated in the United States
courts and those of the little savings
bank by the superior court of Sum
ter county. In the meantime. the
people hope that justice may triumph
over this wrong.

what has been styled as big bust

GOVERNOR SLAT0N
WRITES A CARD
To GEORGIA
VOTERS

Governor John NJ. Slaton, candidate
for the United States Senate to sue
ceed the late Senator Bacon, has Civ
en- the following card to the press
of Georgia in explanation of the plat
form on which he is running for the
upper house of congress. Governor
Slaton asks the people of Georgia to
examine his past record as a servant
of the state and then to vote as their
convictions prompt them. Governor
slaton says:

United States Senate out of desire
to serve the Democratic party in the
crisis of its history and the nation ut
moment of severe social and eco
nomical adjustment. ! became can
didate because / was convinced ]
could render service, and because
believed the majority of the people of
Georgia wanted me to be a candidate
and will elect me.
based my candidacy on prosperity
and not destruction. / appeal to the
people, not on specious promise, but
on record of nearly twenty years
service / have never sought honor
or advancement except upon a record
of tried fitness, and upon that basis
l have founded my present candidacy.
The approaching session of the leg
iislature will greatly limit my taking
part in political discussions. In my
announcement defined my creed; but
that none may be in doubt as to how
would construe that creed permit
me to here apply it to all questions
that are or may be issues in this con-
test.
My opponents declare with mucn
rhetoric that they favor a low tariff.
Is not every Georgia Democrat of the
same opinion? If l were not for a
low tariff l would not seek a Demo-
cratic nomination.
The Panama tolls question will 1e
settled before take my seat in Con-
gress if I am elected. However, that
there may be no doubt as to where
stand, permit me to say that were
in the Senate now, would support
President Wilson in his opposition TO
free tolls. l would do so neverthe-
less with the understanding that !
would oppose any declaration limiting
the right of this country to control in
future the four hundred million dol
lar property which our people have
built, paid for, and own.
On all questions touching the rights
of the several states to control them
selves any matters which affect their
own welfare, and which they can con-
troll, stand firmly on the Democratic
doctrine of state sovereignty / would
oppose any measure which would
mean an assumption by the Federal

Federal peonage statutes. Conditions

Mr.. Wilson and the Stump

Will MIR. Wilson take the stump next fall? There
are reports both ways. Those denying are based
upon the proposition that the proprieties forbid. DO
they? Since when?
Mr.. Cleveland did not stump, but he had no knack
that way. What power he possessed was exerted
with his pen. As a s~peaker-and he seldom spoke
he lacked fire and impressiveness.
Gen. Harrison, who was one OF the best speakers
of his day, and his party's star stumper in Indiana,
swung around the circle when in the Presidency, and
distinguished himself afresh by a number of most
felicitous short speeches delivered on a long timer
airy. He lost nothing in dignity by his course.
Another capital speaker was Mr.. Mckinley, who
had learned his trade in congress. He too, made
public addresses while President, and strengthened
himself by them. His manner and his matter were
very persuasive on the stump.
1t would have been impossible to keep Mr.. Roose.
welt off the stump. Curiousity to see and hear was
as strang-as his desire to crafty it. And wherever
he went he made friends and supporters for his poll:
cies. t' -
Mr.. Taft made a tour at the close Of the special
session of Congress in 1909, in response to an urgent
desire expressed by the public, and addressed enorm-
Gus crowds. The people wanted his views, and he
gave them freely by word of mouth. ~..
Does not Mr.. Wilson's course depend somewhat
va WV v ouN ~AAROA0 SA"S'
and the actual situation when the campaign opens?
II all goes well with the laws he is causing to be
enacted he need not take the stump. He can leave
the laws to speak for themselves, supplemented only
by local orators of popularity. :
But If things go ill; if the laws have proved dis
anpointjng and there is ginger in the attacks 9nstaem,
then It will be worth Mr.. Wilson's while to take the
field, and he may do it. The commanders presence
is most valuable while a contest RACES. With Phil
Sheridan in Winchester, the Confederates had an
easy thing at Cedar creek; but when the fighting
c%avalryman showed up, well mounted and riding hard
toward the enemy, his beaten and confused forces
took heart, turned about at his command. regained
their ground, and won the final victory.
Mr.. Wilson is not a stumper of the popular pat
tern. Any one of hundreds Of spellbinders could beat
him In a contest for the favor of a crowd in front OF
q blacksmith's shop or the grocery. But not one OF
them approaches him in the power of felicitous state
ment; and on a Jumping tour he would not visit
small places or address uneducated audiences. Wait.
II MI. Wilson's presence on the stump becomes neces.
sary next fall he will be found Observation-Disclosures

Underwood Calls q Halt

Oscar w. Underwood seems to have suddenly dc.
veloped into a "standpatter," though not in the usual.
ly accepted sense. According to the Washington dis.
patches, the leader OF the house majority has decided
that there shall he no further tariff tnkering, the
Presidents veto being threatened as a result of the
introduction Of bills amending certain features Of the
income tax section Of the tariff act. That Mr.. Under!
wood Is tactuated by any broad desire to save
business interests either embarrassment or actual
hardship is improbable, but his decision may be COM
mended for what it is worth in results.
The business world has not yet adjusted itself to
the radical conditions imposed on it by the new tariff
law. OF this fact there are many evidences, not ali
OF. them reassuring. Mr.. Underwood must realize that
ample time is necessary for such adjustment. Demo.
cratic leaders aver that the Republicans are praying
for industrial depression is what the Democrats most
fear, knowing that in all probability it would mean
Republican victories at the next Congressional and
presidential elections. But at the best there is a pos.
siplllty OF Democratic success only in the event that
the Progressives can be headed off in their return
TO the Republican camp. Anything that tends to-
unite the two divisions Of the Republican party
strikes a deadly blow at continued Democratic rule,
aud therefore every possible weak point must be
guarded.
The business world has before it u task sufficiently
dif1cult IN accommodating itself to the conditions
necessitated& by the new tariff act. If it were conf
PEELED to readjust the partial adjustment already
effected the results could hardly be expected to favor
the chances of Democratic victory, and making a vir-
tue Of this fact. Mr.. Underwood is determined to
stand pat on the mischief thus far done and not
j~eopardize the interests of his party by any untoward
contingencies. For once, at least, the Democracy
cannot make capital out Of calamity and despair.
What small hope It has must be fed by general pros.
Deriy has at this time too MANY obstacles IN its
way to warrant increasing the number. According to

. The Minimum Wdqe Scale

More pay for retail store clerks without hardship
to the retailer is the verdict regarding a minimum

any Increase in wages that may be made. No one

paid enough and the grim report Of the vice commits.
sion showed that the girls were not paid enough, and
the results. The advice to Chicago houses from one
In New. York was not very welcome, but candid.
Personally, l cannot, for the life of me, see how the
enactment Of minimum wage legislation will have
any serious effect on the retailers interests" the New
York: house said. ANY increase in selling expense
will he:borne by the consumer. Moreover, if all mer-
%chalitss-in a center are compelled to pay the same
minimum wage they are all placed on an equal foot
Ing. There are many merchants who say they would
be gladato pay their girls higher" wages Il -they were
not prevented by competition. The establishment Of
a minimum wage. compulsory on all concerns in the

those who have given the greatest study to this
