Atlanta. AS one Of the strongest
weapons with which to combat pos
sible hard times in the south, thefe
is a spontaneous revival in this
section of the ''keep money al
home" policy, which does not.
merely mean to keep money in
Georgia, but mean that if you live
in Murray county, or Lowndes,
or in Dnuglas, or Gainesville, the
thirg to do is to buy right there
without even going out OF your
home town or your home county.
People have begun to ask them,
selves more generally in the south
than they used to what good on
earth Georgia dollar does the
home folks if it is sent away to
Kokomo, or Kalamazoo or Oshkosh
Spentip the home town, or tho
nearest large town there to if you
simply can't get it at home, it at
least remains within the state anc
keeps working for state develop
ment.
1t is a matter of uncontrovertiblC
fact that a good deal OF money now
being sent out Of Georgia could be
kept here with satisfaction to all
concerned by the exercise of little
thought. OF course, unfortunately
for Georgia and the south, thousands
of people are still patroniZing mail
order houses in Chicago and send
ing cash with each order while ask
ing credit for articles of immediate
need which they buy from the home
merchant, but the light is beginning
to dawn.

GENERAL NEWS.


Atlanta. -Ge6rgia's prohibition
leaders believe that they will ach.
ieve eventual victory as the result
ii their action III forcing an extra
session. They ale more active to
day than at any time since then
tate, vide fight started, and have
issued statements declaring that the
majority Of the voters Of the state
are solidly behind their program.
They express the confident belief
that Governor Harris will include
prohibition in the call for an extra
session, and say.
If we had acted otherwise, one
year from now the state temperance
bill would still be lodged behind
Mr.. Burwell's wet committee on
temperance, and later on would be
up against the wetrules committee.
SO we would be no better off a year
hence. But in the extra session
the rules committee viii not have
charge and the governor can put
it beyond the beer-foamed clutches
Of the majority Of the so-called
temperance committee.
There is no split in the prohibi-
ton ranks. There may be few,
so-callcd prohis who put there own
political ambition above the peoples
good, and who wanta weak, yulner-
able no account bill which the I'D
uor men would be pleased with, but
true prohibitionists will not gain
suffer Georgia to be hoodwinked as
she was in 1907 1908."

Mr.. Christopher VIII Leave Lee Co.

Few people in Lee county know
that one of the best known and
most brilliant newspaper editors in
Georgia has been resident Of Lee
county for about year, and we are
sorry that on account OF Old age
lack Of physical strength and the
opportunities of his family at Mon
tezuma he will quit farming at the
close of the year, but hope to hear
that scintillations from his bright
pen will not be lost to the reading
public. Col. Will Anderson, OF the
Macon Telegraph, says he is the
nestor Of the Georgia press. We re-
fer to that great, unostentacious and
popular man, Mr.. w. I. Christie
pher, Of the Central Settlement.
He had noe been in the county very
long, and being almost an entire
stranger, was elected one Of the di-
rectors Of the Lee County Fair AS
ISOLATION. The people soon found
out that he was live, progressive
public spirited man and useful
citizen. His newspaper career has
been successful one. Commence
ing on country paper he was soon
editing the Atlanta Sunday Phono-
graph, the only illustrated weekly
in Georgia in the SOS. He raised
the biggest rumpus in Georgia poll
tics in those days by attacking the
Comptroller General of the state,
had him impeached and disfran-
chised for the misuse Of wild land
funds and came very near impeach-
ing the State Treasurer who got out
on technicality but. appropriated
$4,000 of the tax payers money
that did not belong to him, In
this fight an attempt was made to
bride him, which he rejected, scorn-
cd and fought them more bitterly
than ever before. During the fight
Henry Grady called him the de-
tective editor; that he could find
out more with less effort than any
man he ever saw. Mr.. Christopher
had as conferes in those days such
men as Henry Grady, Evan P,
Howell, Joel Chandler Harris and
Sam w. Small, all dead except
Sam Small. Since he has been a
resident Of Lee county he has re-
ceived nice check and was award
ed a prize over twelve competitors fol
an article or race segregation which
was reproduced in this paper, and
originally published in the Pro-
gressive Farmer.
He went to the army as boy in
1864 and did his duty as man.
He belonged to Johnston's army
of Tennessee, Gen. Kirby Smiths
brigade, company c., 9Th Georgia
Regiment.
We are truly sorry that he has
decided to leave us as Lee county is
in need of unselfsh, public spirited
men like Mr.. CHRISTOPHER.

Atlanta. Did you ever see a gold
coin of Uncle Sans mintage of the
"a. denomination? Probably not
for there are only few left in the
world, but Atlantians had an OPP
portunity to see one the other day,
suspended from a necklace worn by
aeyoung lady nowresiding in Chat
tan6oga.
1t was minted in 1879 and be-
cause of its rarity is valued at over
500. In size it is but a fraction
smaller than the yellow metal OF
the SIS. denomination. On the re-
verse side are the words "E Pluri-
bus unum, and the more unfami-
liar Deoest gloria. :" In the center
of the coin is FIVE point star and
withon this star are the words Zone
Stella or 400 cents"
On the diverse side appears the
head of Liberty With an inscrip-
ton indicating the composition and
weight nf the coin which is seven
grams. The date, which is 1879.
also appears on this side.

Who Pays Taxes
To Keep This
Town Going?

w HEN a new bridge is
needed, a road must
be repaired, a courthouse is
to built, where does the
money come from? Do the
mail order houses pay it?
Hardly. They will not even
send a contribution to help
buy a bell for the fiew chur-
oh or to help a Fourth of
July celebration. They pay
no taxes in this town, and
they are not concerned in
its prosperity.
THIS town must be sup
ported by its residents and
those who live in, the inn
mediate vicinity. If they
insist on sending their
money away then they are
helping to kin their town,
and they are making it
harder for them to ray the
taxes necessary to maintain
local government and to
make local improvements.
You owe something to
yourself, and you owe some
thing to your neighhors.
You can help yourself by
helping your neighbors.
You can't injure your nei-
ghbors without iniuring
yourself. When you send
money to mail order houses
you are hurting your town,
your neighbors and your
self.

Rochester, N. Y, Dec. Sth.-Will-

"Prithee, kind sir, 1 beg a little

DUMMY MACHINE
GUNS ARE USED.

Petrograd, Dec. 8.-Dummy ma
chine guns which make a noise like
the real thing and thereby scare of
t~heattacking party, are reported to be
one Of the latest innovations tried by
the Austrians on the southern front.
It is a we'll known fact that in
fantry, once loosed on a charge upon
trenches defended with %rapid-fre guns
are apt to swerve instinctively from
points where the Maxims seem to be
thickest. However dense the roar of
heavy artillery during attacks, the
short, sharp barking of these little
guns is still distinctly audible. In or
der to increase the psychological effect
of machine gun fire, the Austrians hit
upon the plan of mounting their
trenches, alternately with real Max
inns, a large proportion of dummies.
These produce a rattle identical in
sound with that Of the real gun, and
are operated by rapidly turning a han
die.
