day.. some place where there aren't
any society women to chaperone, but
a few of the girls mothers or the
boys mothers. A place where they
can dance or play games just like
they would in their Own, parlors and
where they can sit and spoon if they
think they are in love and not be
ashamed to be seen spooning. 1t is
the having to sneak away to spoon
that starts boys and girls doing other
things, because when you get the
nerve to do one thing you are asham-
ed of you get the nerve to do a still
worse thing.
For the girl already on the street,
the girl like me, don't know. There
isn't anything anybody can do for me.
I have been lucky; I've never been ar
rested and I've solicited three years,
but when l do they won't be making
a future angel of me by making me
pay for a license tag to wear on my
neck and they won't make an angel
of me by putting me in jail. I am
what am and there is your answer"

Tomorrow, because the story bears
directly on this subject, shall tell
you of the motive that prompted one
gin to be willing to sell herself and
of the solution that was offered for
her problem. Then l shall let you de-

really offered any solution to the
problem of prostitution.

BREAD MAY BE SIX CENTS

Six cents will be the price of a loaf
of bread soon, according to the bak-
ers, if wheat prices which have been
soaring do not take a downward slide.
Flour. has advanced so cents a sack

The only alternative is to lower the
weight of the loaf and bakers are
against this. A city law declares that
a ffve-cent loaf of bread must weigh

WILL GO BEFORE THE PAR

One more chance to get the sem
fences of Thomas and Maddox, the
two black men under the death SEN
tence, committed to life Imprisonment
for the two cases will be brought
before the pardon board on Tuesday
or Wednesday of this week, and if
unfavorable action is taken by the
said board, it will mean they will
go to the gallows, with the slim
chance of the interference by Gov
ernor Trammell.
The blacks have all the hope in
the world that their cases will be
acted on favorably by the board, but
never lose chance to nI;ls1d with
anyone with whom they hold any
chance conversation to do something
in their behalf.
The date for the execution of the
two negroes is at noon on August
20, which leaves less than three
weeks Of life for them.

the originator Of the "safety-frst"
movement, the shibboleth Of which
has become national slogan in all
departments of industrial activity.
He had been for years in charge Of
the Government investigation of mine
accidents, and by his work in behalf
Of the miners safety had greatly re-
duced the death toll among that great
army of underground workers. But
his insistence ON sharing the perils
that his rescue crew must face, going
with them into places that tried the
endurance of the hardest of men,
proved too great a tax OH his vitali-
ty, and some months ago tuberculosis
developed and could not be shaken off,
While his death is loss which his
country may well mourn, there is in
his life of devotion and achievement
an inspiration to his countrymen ev-
erywhere, and particularly to those
Of the South, for DR.. Holmes was es-
sentially Southern. All too short as
his life-span was, DR.. EIolmes had
lived long enough to furnish a fine
example Of how a Southern man may
apply his education to problems of
national moment and work them out
with advantage TO all the nation.
Born In South Carolina IS years ago,
he graduated from Cornell University
and afterwards became professor of
geology and natural history at the
University of North Carolina. Sub
sequently he was State GeoIogist Of
that state from 1901 to 1904, which
position he left to join the forces of
the United States Geological Survey,
where he remained to the day of his
untinely death.

August 2, will commence filling a silo
for C. C. Weimeyer. He expects also

Many silos have been built the past
two years, but this year has seen
more placed on farms thar any pre-

dairymen are just finding out what
saving they effect in preparing feed
for cattle. Ensilage is one of the
best and cheapest feeds the south can
produce, and all kinds of stock do well
on it.
If any parties are interested in
silos and ensilage, they can call at
any Of the above places and gain
some valuable experience while the

The FIGHT
To Exterrninate the
Mosquito Is On

The latest and most formidable eae-
my of the deadly mosquito is that 4e-
markable substance, MOSQUITO
CO." 1t is composed of the most deli
cate volatile oils, which have the
strongest effect on the mosquito, yet
will not injure the most delicate skin
or fabric. And its odor is positively
refreshing.
"MOSQUITO-GO" is an absolute
preventive of mosquitoes. It means
no more nights made miserable bv
that terrible, monotonous buzzing; no
more of that maddening itching; and
it eliminates all danger of the dis
ease germs that the mosquito carries.
All that is necessary is to sprinkle a
little "MOSQUITO-Go" about from
the handy bottle with the sprinkler
top. Ask for it at any good druggist
at 10c and 25c. (ady1

Fortunately it was seven years be-
fore the war with Spain came which
every one had known from the first
to be inevitable; and by that time the
little colony was ready enough.
Georgia's territory stretched upon
Altamaha, and from the coast ran
back, west and northwest, to the
sources of those rivers; from their
sources due westward ito the South
Seas"
Savannah was thus planted at the
very borders Of South Carolina. New
settlers were placed. as they came,
some in Savannah, many by the up
per reaches of the river.
The Highlanders had their post Of
danger and honor upon the Altamaha;
and before war came new settlers, ad-
ditional arms and stores, and serv-
iceable fortihcations had been placed
at ST. Simon's Island at the mouth Of
the AItamaha.
Every settlement was In some SORT
Q fortified military post.
The first settlers had been drilled in
arms by sergeants of the Royal
Guards in London every day between
the time of their assembling and the
time of their departure Arms and
ammunition were as abundant almost
as agricultural tools and food stores
in the cargoes carried out.
Negro slavery was forbidden In the
colony, because II was no small part
of Oglethorpe's purpose in founding
it to thrust a solid wedge of free
settlers between Carolina and the
country to the south. and close the
border to fugitive slaves
Neither could any liquor be brought
in. 1t was designed that the life of
settlements should be touched with
sof1aethinR of the rizor Of militia nv
discipline; and so long as Ogle-
thorpe himself was at hand laws were
respected and obeyed, rigid and un-
