This primary battle has been hard Since the
victories of last April when II5o saloons voted
the liquor interests have not rested minute IN
their fight for the legislature, neither has the
field force of the Anti-Saoon League. The pity of
all is that much work has to be done the
decent voter. The primary battle has been fought.
The field force has worked hard. They have made
the best use possible of the money given them for
this fight. Vacations have been foregonc and home
life sacrificed for this task. We have hopes that
victory has been If any have failed to do their
full duty in the primary they should repent of the
same and try show the sincerity Of their repentance
by working hard in the election 1t is less than
two months until the election, which comes Novem-
Der g.
The Election Contest Greater Than Usual
There are more candidates nominated this tim
than in any preceding primary election. In many
cases there are five candidates in the field for the
house in a senatorial district, three of them only to
be elected In some districts, however, there are
only four candidates. While the primary
has been of great Importance not quite much
has rested upon ii this time i'll former primaries.
Notwithstanding the issue this time is more clearly
drawn than ever before. Now this election is the
most important of all to and hard fight
be made because of the fact that there three
political parties in the field, and in nearly every
at least one Of them decided to put up two men.
That a contest in the election IN every
district that not minute be spared from
now until election day Upon November depends
the question as to whether not will get county
option and other legislation desire in the next
legislature.
Listen This Warning.
The danger to advanced legislation lies in the
fact that there is special danger OF division OF the
dry vote this time. The united liquor interests
putting forth effort never before to secure con
troll Of the senate It is we'll known fact that since
we passed our local option law in 1907 the senate
has been a safeguard to temperance legislation 1t
has never been possible repeal any measure in the
senate even though the house at one time did pass
a repeater But two years ago on account OF the
division in the Republican primary lost the sena-
tor in two three districts which dry and have
hitherto given dry senator. With like condi-
ton confronting this time, it that the local
option friends will have to forget party lines and
stand by the endorsed by the Anit-Saloon
League or the next senate will be in control of the
United Societies. This is the danger confront

WOULD MOVE CAPITAL.

Editor The Georgian:
Speaking of improved water
ways reminds us of the next move
Of the Capital City. 1t must be
evident to most of us that Wash
ington is fast being outgrown
by the nation, AS a capital
for the United States it is
only a partial success. All ma
tional buildings should be studied
as parts of the great plan Of
which the legislative halls are
the center But for many reasons
of order, culture, national refine
ment, a capital city should be
free from the imposition of trades
and professions, and of the mart.
To make a capital city in the geo.
graphical center of our country
will probably be the work Of
years. But it is time to think of
this great national need.

IN HERE are two compelling reasons
for careful thought and intelligent
legislation in regard to combination.
one reason IS found in tie fact that
combination Is continually increasing in
spite of the utmost efforts Of its opponents
10 end a.
The second reason is found in the fact
that combination displays quite as def
mite advantages as disadvantages and the
necessity for preserving those advantages
is as urgent as the necessity for climi
Mating the disadvantages
The advantages Of combination are the
advantages 81 better organization, more
effective operation ana cheaper produc-
ton.
The disadvantages Of combination arise
mainly from the misuse Of the power Of
combination, which has developed into
monopoly.
If, then, combination is inevitable and
in tho main desirable, we must by care
full thought discriminate between the adj
vantages and disadvantages OF combina-
ton, and by intelligent legislation permit
the legitimate development Of the advan-
t,oes If combination and prevent the mis-
u.e ot The novyer Of n,onopoIy.

along even the legitimate and beneficial

TIME reformers tell us fri,
country needs TINS tba,
and the other to save Il
from dire dissolution. These
things are true or not, as the cas-.
may be, but to my mind the one
vital thing needed in America il
an increase in the Gene Field
Letter.
We are suffering from episto.
airy elephantiasis.
Every college should have
Gene Field Chair Very few FOLKS
know how to write a letter. what
to say or when to stop.
A Gene Field Letter always
contains an element of joy
Next, it bears message Of
wisdom.
Third, it has a jigger of wit
that gives the wisdom flavor
Fourth, it closes when it is done
and there is no postscript.
A Gene Field Letter breatbes
kindness, appreciation, friendship
love, truth. The owner clings to
it, shows it to friends, preserves
1t. If you own an original. you'll
not part with it any more than
you would sell your mothers por-
trait.
Gene Field may not have been
a great man, but he had a great
heart. He knew the secret Of
friendship. TO live so you will
love and be loved is fine art
Field was friend
Now let the world learn al his
feet and follow his example.
The age demands it. A long
letter robs you of time and thus
shortens your life. A vacuous
newsletter does the same.
A long letter of counsel and adj
vice tends to make US do that
which we ought not.
The missive that contains
grain of good hidden in six bush
els of wordy chaff tires eyesight
and temper, turning the milk Of
human kindness to bonny- clabber
Sensible people do not go
around putting everything
straight. Things will not stay
put, anyway, unless it is their
nature to do so.
Gene Field never called you
down. He always called you UP
out of the mire of selfishness
and dependency, up into the
sunlight.
On the Rialto, where manu-
scripts and autographs of the
great and proud are sold, Gene
Field-like Abou Ben Adhem-
leads all the rest. Gene was not
as profound as Emerson, not as
learned as Greeley, not as fiowery
as Longfellow, but his letters TO-
day command a price that those
of the good men just named do
not.
When Gene wrote a letter he
always made the recipient pleased
with himself, and being pleased
with himself, he was pleased win
Gene and everybody He pup
you for the moment en- rapport
with the world.
Never write a grouchy letter

passes, and if you write in the

COMBINED ASSETS EXCEED
 OVER EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS
Building and Loan and Savings In stitutiOns in State Place More than Million Dollars New
 Business on Books.

Little Rock, Dec. 19.-According to figures compiled by w. T. Maxwell in charge of the Blue Sky Department in the office of the State Bank Com missioner, the combined assets of the building and loan and savings institu- tions, organized in Arkansas, exceeds eight and quarter million dollars. During the six months ending June 30, 1914, more than million dollars of new business was placed on the books of these associations.
 During the past sixty days MT. Max well has been very busy with an in vestigation of the affairs of these in stitutions, and reports them in a fourishing condition.
 "These figures," said Mr. Maxwell, "speak forceably in favor of the con- servative management, the value of the stock as an investment, and the progress made in building and saving in the state. There is sufficient mu- tuality in the business to make it worth while for every growing town in the state to organize and maintain a building and loan association; many a good desirable citizen could be To- cated in the growing towns of the state if such were in a position to give these persons little help in as- sisting them in procuring home."

STATE NORMAL WANTS
 APPROPRIATION OF $71.OOO

Little Rock, Dec. 19.-The State Normal Board met Friday, and agreed to ask for an appropriation of only 1000 by the Legislature, which is S53,OOO less than was appropriated in 1913. The institution needs more new buildings especially a main building, but have agreed to ask for only enough for maintenance.
 The State Normal Board has agreed that they will consent to put the main tenance of the institution on a mile age basis, instead of bulk appropria- tions to be fought out biennially be- fore the Legislature. This, however, is with the understanding that all the other educational institutions support ed by the state shall agree to the same plan.

COTTON STARDARDS>
 ARE PROMULG ATED

Washington, Dec. 19.-The official cotton standards of the United States were promulgated today by the Secre tary of Agriculture in accordance with the provisions of the Cotton Futures Act. The new standard replaces the old official grades heretofore issued by the Department and must be used by the exchanges dealing in cotton fu- lures after February IS. The stand ard covers the nine grades of cotton Middling Fair, Strict Good Middling, Good Middling, Strict Midling, Midd- ling, Strict Low Middling, Low Midd- ling, Strict Good Ordinary, and Good Ordinary. Copies of the standard will be prepared as rapidly as pos sible for sale at cost.
 In filling orders for copies of these standards, the Department must, of necessity, take into consideration the extent to which the applicants busi- ness is affected by the operation of the United States Cotton Futures Act, and preference will necessarily be given Ito members of the future exchanges and to operators in the larger spot markets which may be bona fide spot markets for the purposes of the Fut- ures Act. The law provides that the Secretary shall designate five or more such markets whose prevailing prices shall determine the differences be- tween the values of the several grades in the settlement of future contracts The Department, therefore, invites all parties who desire copies of these standards to communicate with the Chief of the Office of Markets.

CHRISTIAN LOVE IN
 THE LEGEND BEAUTIFUL" :"
New "Flyinp A" Feature Film

New Flying A" Feature Film Similar to "The Trail of the Lost Chord" but more powerful, is the new American-Mutual production. "The Legend Beautiful" This wonderful picture, which has been filmed under the direction of Thomas Ricketts, is founded on the poem of the same name by Henry Wadsworth Longfel- low and is told amid all the colorful charm of southern Caifornia's now bygone Spanish days. It teaches a wonderful lesson, shows the power of Christian loye-how it overcomes hu- man envy and hatred.
 For this production Edward Coxen was loaned to MT. Ricketts, company and given the delicate task of -imper- sonating the Christus for screen pur- poses. By reason of the regularity of his feature and the serenity of his expression he is particularly adapted to this purpose, and his choice was justified by the dignity and sweetness with which hec arried his scenes. Will liam Garwood as Jose, the embittered younger brother; Jack Richardson as the elder one, whose schemes are evil; the venerable padre of Harry von Me ter and Vivian Rich's Rachel all fall under this wonderful spell of the Christus and are helped by it. The release of this picture falls aptly near to Christmas.
