defensive against the continued and insidious

reproached the authorities still more theoretically

was given to the meeting by the speech OF Senior

that the responsibility for these concessions to
Pr0testans lay with the highest personages of the

generous"
In other words, Harris and Hefin sup
posed Congress to be in a good humor as it
supposedly listened to this Imaginary eulogy
of Harris by Hefin; and therefore they
sprinlxled each page with the gladstone word,
applause"
On the first page of the speech, Hefin and
Harris imagined that Congress applauded
three times On page Congress was more
self-restrained, and applauded only twice.
But on page 3, the enthusiasm about the
Boil Weevil became boisterous, and Congress
applauded three more times.
Then on the next page, the applause sobers
down to two outbreaks on the next to three;
and On the last it reaches climax of enthu-
siasm, and breaks out four times
1t was on this page that Harris sternly
warned 'some of the near topers" who work
under him at the Federal capital that if they
"came in with whiskey on their breath. they
would be punished, or ultimately discharged"
Q Lord Are there any "near topers"
working under Harris?
What When the President halts at
orange-ade, and Bryan stops at grape-juice,
are we to be told that Harris has been keep
ing "near topers" on his pay-rolls?
Really this is very sad and surprising.
Now, mark it
This man Harris who is so rigidly virtu-
Gus that he will discharge another employee
of the Government for having "whiskey on
his breath" is himself a shameless law
breaker, in that he has abandoned his post Of
duty, quit the work you pay him to do and
has loaded you down with the expense Of this

nor, and trying 10 pick rotten spots in the
record of such sterling patriot as Judge Nat
Harris of Macon.

ought to be made "practically the Guardian

had revolutionized affairs in Washington.
Then, he had his Atlanta speech published
by the U. S. Public Printer in Washington,
and began to send it out through the mail as
a public document.
1t was not public document; it had no
right to go through the mails without post
age; and every copy thus sent took money out
Of y0ur pocket.
Smith Is millionaire, owns the Atlanta
Journal, owns half of the finest hotel in
Atlanta, owns half of the Fulton National
bank, and remains a member of BIG firm
of lawyers.
Don't you think Senator Smith does a mean
thing when he unlawfully saddles you with
the expense Of his campaign literature?
William Jingle Harris is Census Taker
at from $4,000 to $4,000 per year. His Boss
ordered him to get into the race for Cover

Did he resign his Federal office? No. Did
he say he would? Yes Is that doube-de
ing what we have been taught to expect from
Smith and his pie-holders? Yes.
The first thing that Harris did-after I
affectionately gave him the advice he sought
of me-was to broadcast this State with an
alleged speech Of Congressman Thomas Hef-
lin. of Alabama.
That speecsh purports to have been made
in the House, on May 2, 1914 I have
searcshed for it, but cannot find it, in the
Record for that day.

delivered on the floor.
Mr.. Hef1in did not reply to may letter.
Therefore, [ take it for granted that he
rose in his might, on the floor and asked for
leave to print speech in the Record.
The permission is almost always given.
So, you see, Hefin did not make any such
speech in Congress.
Harris probably wrote it himself, Or paid
Claud Bennett $25 to write it, as Congress-

THE LOCUST CLUB BANQUET

Last Wednesday evening the Locust
Club held its annual banquet at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. G.. HiXson.
The rooms were prettily decorated in
flags in honor of Lincoln's birthday
which was so near at hand, and red,
white and blue ribbons were used on
the tables and the chandeliers were
festooned with small flags. Boquets
of jonquils, ferns and smilax were
used as center pieces, yellow and
green being the club colors these
dainty flowers combined with green
proved to be an appropriate decora-
tiOn. An elaborate two course din
ner was served at seven thirty O'Clock.
The Locust Club has established a
name for its excellent banquets and
this one came fully up to the usual
standard. The favors were comic men
and women made of combination of
marsh mallowS, chocolate and raisins
and were the means of causing much
amusement among the guests. Toasts
were given by all the ladies present
the subject being ''Men.'' 1t is need
less to say the men all came through
quite well all things considered. Miss
Lura Icely, Miss Anna Hastings,
Miss Bernice Boyce and Miss Claire
Marshall assisted most efficiently in
the serving. After leaving the din
ing room and assembling in the parior
the guests were each given picture
of an animal and in turn were asked
to reproduce the picture on large
black board that had been provided
for the occasion. 1t is perhaps un-
necessary to say that no geological
garden on earth ever contained any
of the weird and uncanny creatures
that appeared on the blackboard.
But there was no end of fun over it
and after all that was the aim. A
ring tossing contest for the men re.
suited in Mr.. Hardman securing the
prize a beautiful piece of white
suatuary quite life like mounted on a
square of card board, MANY thought
the statue could be eaten if desired.
Miss Lura Icely favored the company
with some splendid instrumental
selections which were much enjoyed
after which a few old fashioned
charades in which the company en-
tered very heartily brought the even
ing TO close. 1t was a most infor-
NAL and friendly affair and feeling
of good fellowship prevailed the
atmosphere during the entire even
ing and the guests departed feeling
again that their banquet had indeed
been success. Those present were:
Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Blair, Mr. and
Mrs. G. R. Hille, Mr.. and Mrs. w. L.
Larabee, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Cortright,

fairies thought them safe there and
soon were having fine time After
they grew tired of play they hid in
the flowers and took good long nap.
When they awoke they ran to get
the jewels but they found the sun
had melted all of them, the pitchers
were broken and beautiful streams of
colors were running down all over
the leaves. They were so frightened
they all began TO weep bitterly.
When the King saw that the fairies
would not be back in time he set out
in search of them. He found what
had happened and became very angry.
Just then he saw some children
coming home from school. They were
shouting 20 look at those beautiful
trees We have never seen such trees
before Let us gather some of the
wonderful branches and take them
home to mother,'' Then the king
thought Il am too old to get angry.
l see these children are happier than
if the jewels were given them"
He then hunted up the fairies who
had hidden when they saw him COM
ing. The fairies told him they were
sorry and would not do such a careless
thing again if he would forgive them
this time The King said he would
but their punishment would be to 90
to every tree each fall and paint it
for the children all the beautiful
colors of gold, silver and jewels. The
fairies gladly promised, and now,
each fall all the trees become many
beautiful colors.

They live crowded in houses so that
each one has scarcely room to turn a.

carriage cannot pass through the
narrow streets.
They live on rice chiefly but also
eat vegetables and all Kinds of game
When the Chinese babies are seven
days old they get name which is
changed when they get to be fifteen
years of age. At seven months of age
the occupation of the child is chosen
by placing all kinds of things before
the baby and the one it picks up the
first is supposed to tell what the
parents should teach it to become.
The Chinese teacher gets between

''rHE DIsoBEDIENr FAIRIES.

Jack Frost was king that lived
away in the far north in a beautiful
palace. He had many servants. They
were all fairies He had rooms full
of precious stones, silver and gold.
One day he called his fairies to him
ana said: ''You must take part of my
jewels South to the little children
there. / will put them into pretty
glass pitchers so that they will be
easy to carry. Whatever you do you
must not stop on the way TO play but
do your errand quickly
The fairies bowed down their dainty
heads and said, 1--WE will obey o
King" So they started out on their
long journey very early in the morn
ing for the King told them they must
return before the sun got very high.
<sBeware of the sum- he warned
them.
At first the fairies thought this
trip great fun and hurried along
After they had gone a long distance
some of them began to get tired and
one fairy said, 81 think it would do
no harm if we should stop here among
these beautiful flowers and play and
rest. We could go that much faster

The others all agreed and soon the
jewels we're hung up high in the
trees among the leaves and branches
where no one could see them. The
