Free Picture Publicity.

Here is an interesting proposition
from Mr.. Lyman, secretary of the
Macon Chamber of Commerce, and
The News is glad to comply with his
request to give it space:
do you want to see your town get
some publicity without it costing you
anything, other than a few stamps?
IF you do then send us a bunch
of photographs and we will place
them in such a prominent place that
10000 people will view them. This
costs you nothing. These photo
graphs must be mounted on card
board. They should be places of in
terest to your town. Manufacturing
plants and other industries are good.
Hospitals, schools and churches
make good pictures. Beautiful resi-
dences look fine in a picture.
"Now, listen!
THE Macon Chamber of Com
merce will place these pictures in this
prominent place, put a sign over
them telling from what town they
have been sent, all free of any cost
to you. Can we do more?
eve do this to encourage the
Georgia towns to show to the world
what they have.
I'VE do this for another purpose
We want to affiliate with the best as
set that Georgia has today, the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce, and
the busy men at its head, in giving
every other fellow at the big meet
ing in Macon January 1880 some
thing to see.
HE will see what the other pro-
gressive towns are doing and will go
home and tell what he saw and how
they do it in Busyville, Ga This will
stir up Lazyville, Cato get some
action on it.
agricultural pictures would be
fine also. Ship or mail all pictures
at once to E. H. Hyman, general sec
rotary of the Macon Chamber of
Commerce, Macon, Ga. All charges
and postage must be paid for in ad-
vance. Now we have told you how
to do it-get busy.
See how progressive your town

Borrowing From Death.

A report recently issued by the
Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents reveals the astonishing fact
that insurers in this country have
borrowed the immense sum of $751;
600 900 on their policies. Not ten per
cent of this amount has been repaid,
and It is estimated that 503 100000
has been lost to the ultimate benefi-
Charles. In a period of financial
stringency or of unexpected calls up
on the resources of the people 1t is
no difficult matter to borrow on the
insurance policy; indeed, that meth
cd of raising the wind must be oc-
casionally regarded as providential in
the face of unforeseen eXigencies and
exceptional setbacks difficult to
guard against In lean years the
borrowers capitalize the protec-
ton with which they have surround
ed their families and dependents,
spend the proceeds and neglect to
restore the measure Of provision for
the future which they have a0-
stracted.
In quarter of a century the mort
cages on policies have jumped 5000
per cent. The panic year Of 1898 |
saw an increase of 81 per cent and |
the 1907 panic was responsible for
an increase of SO per cent. Such
destruction of vast amounts Of in
surance is not only body blow to
thrift, but makes for unhappiness
and uncertainty in the home.

A MARKET FOR CORN.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The Dawson News prints the fol-
lowing:
The III corn clubs boys of Car
roll county produced a -otal Of
6,60S bushels of corn at an ex-
pense of $2,403 for labor and fer
tilizers. At a dollar bushel the
net profit is $1,000. The great
est drawback to raising corn as a
money crop in Georgia is that
there is no market for it.
The Juliette Mills, on the Ocmul-
gee river, above Macon, are anxious
for Georgia corn. They prefer it.
The meal is much sweeter and in
every way preferable. But DR.. Glov-
err used to sey he could not get it in
sufficient quantities, and had to buy
western corn. Of course the corn
must be shel1ed and sacked. Very
few farmers are prepared to. shell it,
although these little gasoline engines
with the Smelling apparatus can be
bought cheap. They were on exhi-
bition at the State Fair last fall.

immortality

From the Augusta Chronicle.
Charles R. Pendleton, editor and
main owner Of the Macon Telegraph,
whose death has been announced
years ago wrote on mortality as fol-
lows:
Because our natural eyes can
not see through the veil of matter
around us, cannot follow with our
petty vision the determining end
in an interior realm, shall we say
that SO wonderful an existence as
we know the human mind to be is
accidentally created by an acct
dental force to be snuffed out af-
ter a few days and is no more?
"a materialist looking with
microscope into flesh for the soul,
for the mortal part Of man, finds
only the Vestment, the covering or
shell which persisted away.
Man is made of two parts, in
ternal and external, or of that
which is prior or first, and poste-
rior Of last. That which is prior
is spiritual and that which is pos
cause, the other the effect-inte-
rior and exterior. The interior is
the powerful moving cause, just as
the unseen electric currents are the
moving cause in material wires
not seen with the natural eye,
but the demonstration of it in eff
feet is wonderful, visible, over
powering. That which is prior or
first controls, impels.
''It is the internal man that
wills and thinks it is the external
man that speaks and acts. The in
ternai reaches inward and up
ward; the external downward and
outward At death we simply cast
off the outward and still live in
the inward. We become invisible
to the outward life left behind be-
cause the inward plane is distinct
and above the outward just as
the air in which the birds fly is
distinct and above the soil in
which the mole burrows. The but
terfy after it crawls out of the
chrysalis below lives and fits in
the air above. Man in the supe-
rior plane above is more real and
substantial than in the plane be-
low.
perhaps the mole would not be-
lieve a message from the birds,
just as Edison does not believe the
messages from the inner or upper
life; but we have those messages
nevertheless, and they are as true
and real as the bird life is true and
real, although unknown to the
mole. AS the external life is fash
toned here so the internal life is
positioned there"
One of his favorite quotations
from Addison's play, "Cato"-beau
tifuIIy expresses the same genera
idea in metrical form:
cit must be so-Plato, thou reason
est WE'LL
Else whence this pleasing hope, thi
fond desire,
This longing after immortality?
Or whence this secret dread, and in
ward horror,
Of falling into nought? Why shrink
the soul
Back on herself and startles at de
struction?
IT'S the Divinity that stirs within US
IT'S heaven itself that points out a.
hereafter"

Our City Primaries,

ing met and set September 9th as the
time for holding a primary election

Just why our city primaries are
called some years in March OF April
and in other years in August or
September The News will not under
take to say. OF course no one would
think that the fixing of these widely
varying dates was ever in the inter-
est of or to put at a disadvantage
any candidates; but, nevertheless,
there should be some rule or under
standing by which these elections
would be held about the same time
every year-neither too soon nor too
late. In the summer would, perhaps
be best, when there is but little bus
mess to require the attention of the
people and they would have time to
discuss among themselves, exchange
ideas and find out who and what

ipal government. A SNAP" cleo.

Protecting Suckers.

According to reports, Georgia's
new blue sky law" is making every
day ''blue Monday for the agents OF
wildcat and questionable stocks.
During the first twenty-five days OF
January fifteen applications for IL
censes to sell certain oil, gas and
mining stocks in Georgia were turn
ed down by the Secretary of State.
Before the law went into effect
these fifteen organizations could
have had carte blanche in extracting
good hard money from Georgians
without giving value received in re-
turn.
Every one of the fifteen applica-
tions that were turned down was q
kind of get-rich-quick scheme. Wal
1ingfords realize now that Georgia
has really put her foot down on sucf
Vaccinations.

NeW York and
The Regional Banks

Messrs. HcAdoo and Houston, who
have the task of mapping the coun-
try into regional reserve districts,
seem to have come face to face with
a sphinX-like problem at the very
first step. 1t was predetermined, of
course, that New York city should be
the home of one of the regional re-
serve banks, regardless of the total
number of those institutions. Not
even the ambitions of Podunk have
nerved that tabled city to offer itself
in competition with the nations fl
nancial capital. But how large shall
the regional reserve bank be which
necessity commands shall be located
in that city? And to ask how large
is to ask what shall be the metes
and bounds of the regional reserve
district of which it is to be the cap
ital And to ask what are to be
the metes and bounds Of that district
is to ask what states and cities are
to be made financially tributary to
New York. One sees, on little eX-
animation, that the question is not
so simple as it seems to be at tlrst
glance.
There are two worthy and weighty
considerations. The regional reserve
bank to be located in New York must
be, one should think, at least equal,
in point of financial strength, to the
largest of the member banks. In
deed. there are considerations which
suggest that it must have so much
greater dignity in that respect as to
be unrivaled. One of these consider
ations is that it is through that par
ticular regional reserve bank that
most international transactions will
pass, and it will need for that rea-
son alone immense resources. But il
the regional reserve bank Of New
York is given the size which these
suggest it will tower
nightly over all the other regional
reserve banks even if the total num-
Der of these institutions should be
fixed at eight, which is the minimum
prescribed by law. These other re-
gional reserve banks, while of course
they will have the same functions
and authorities given to the regional
reserve bank Of New York, will be so
inferior to it, in point of resources,
as to give it the appearance of a
central bank and them the appear
ance of it's branches.
This, it is protested, would violate
the spirit of the law, and hence the
or the supposed dilemma.
Well, perhaps there is dilemma;
but not such a one, we are persuaded,
as common sense cannot emerge
from. The question Of the relative
size of the several regional reserve
banks is not a mOmentous one. 1t is
doubtful if, strictly speaking, it is
even pertinent. The criterion should
be. and was meant to be, we had
fancied, that every regional district
should be made up, as nearly as
practicable, of communities that are
commercially and financially homo
geneous conditioned, of course, by
the requirement of the act that ev-
cry regional bank shall have CAPT
tai stock of not less than $4,000
900. New York, if not exempt from
that rule, is at least less strictly
bound by it than any other city, by
reason of the fact that, in the broad
err sense, the whole country is, and
will continue to be, financially de-
pendent in some degree on New
York. A certain relation Of homo
geneity subsists as between New
York and the remotest hamlet in the

BATTLE OF THE MARINE
 ABOUT AT AN END
Two German Army Corps Are Straight enfng Out for Next Biq Battle,

London, Sept. 15, 9.25 D. m.-The battle of the Marne has about come to an end and. although the allied ar- mics are keeping in touch with the re- treating Germans, it is evident that the latter are taking up positions to stay the northward advance of the French and British.
 General Won Kluck. with his army. has made stand north iof the river aisne on line marked by the Forest of EAigle and Caronne, while the ar mics of Generals Won Buelow and Won Hausen. the Duke of Wuerttem- burg and the crown prince are falling back to straighten out the front on which the next big battle is likely to be fought.
 Although the Germans have been badly punished in. their long retreat and have lost many guns and men. they maintain cohesion, and unless the French succeed in their attempt to get bet ween the army of the crown prince and those operating to the west or him, they will present a solid front when the time comes for another
 clash. which viii be as big as. if not bigger, than the recent battle. The new position of the Germans. if they can gain it, offers bstter op- portunfties for defense than the | ground they have passed over f7,1ri.7p Q | the last ten days. Their right appar- ently extends as far west as St. Ouen- tin, through a country intersected by rivers and stryams that will erflbar- rasS the attacking forces.

COLORADO MINERS FAIL TO
 ADOPT SETTLEMENT PLAN.
Notwithstanding It Was Urged by ln-

Trinidad, Col, Sept. 15.-Colorado coal miners at the state convention of the United Mine Workers of America today did not vote on adoption of the peace plan drawn up by a federal board and urged for adoption by President Wilson and the international officers of the miners union.
 Several speeches were made to the convention urging acceptance of the plan, but the meeting adjourned until tomorrow without taking a vote.
 William R. Fairley, one of the two mediators appointed by the secretary of labor, told the delegates it would be 'suicide'' for them to reject the pro- poSal.
 Are you going to put the president of the United States in a position where he will be ridiculed by capital ists all over the country?" he demand ed. If the federal troops are with drawn while the strike is unsettled, God only knows what will happen"
 Frank Hayes international vice pres ident of the union, told the delegates that the union had spent S3,044, ,000 on the strike. He urged the acceptance of the presidents proposal as embody- ing the best terms obtainable and a decided improvement over conditions before the strike.
