BLIND ARTIST MAKES GREAT I'M
PRESSION.

Miss Mary L. Fitzhugh, the blind
dramatic singer and elocutionist, kept
large audience at Shorter Chapel
last Tuesday evening spell-bound in
her rendition which was wonderful
The ease and grace attendant with
her performance, supporting voice
which God and Nature seem to keep
in form, cause an unusual admiration,
making one almost forget her unfor-
tunate dismemberment. Contrihu-
utors to the program were Miss C. b.
Fisher, pianist, who satisfied the au-
dience in marked degree, and
Madam Ella Pleasant, who delighted
in her particular role of elocution and
impersonation. These comprise Miss
Fitzhugh's company and large au-
diences should greet them wherever
they go, as they are deserving of ap-
probation. Prof. Geo. Morrison, our
local violinist, ably supported the pro-
gram by his violin selections.
Having enjoyed this rare treat the
Colorado Statesman commends this
artist and her company to the pat.
ronage of all America, assuring them
that every satisfaction and pleasure
will be given.

The Search for Beauty,

Utilizing the face mask as a mean
of beautifying the complexion has beeI
In vogue for many years. Henry III
of France was vain enough to affec,
1t in order to keep his skin fair. The
race mask, again, was a part of the
beauty treatment that Marguerite de
Valois followed, and the celebrated
Roman Empress Poppaea was another
of its votaries. 1t was smeared inside
with beauty-giving cream and worn
at night. Not every woman, however,
cares to sleep in mask.

are exporting the same class of goods
seized from United States vessels. He
fervently declared that the protest
made by this government to the En-
glish government had been met bv

Senator declared that it was the duty
of the United States to unite with
other nations and demand from Great
Britain that disregard of their rights
cease. Senator Smith said it may be
necessary for the United States and
other neutrals to give Great Britain
to understand that no word or act
will be omitted to enforce their
rights. He asserted that British mer.

tive to the needs of advancement in
agricultural pursuits
| think the Congressman S idea IS
that he would rather do something
to brighten the agricultural outlook
of Georgia and the South than legiS-
lating any just now along military
lines. The truth of the business is,
a kind of a false alarm has been
sounded, which is supposed will
scare the country into a hurried
clamor for military preparedness
Some are of the opinion that it is es-
sential to Democratic success to en-
large the army, while on the other
hand as diplomatic stroke, they are
claiming that the idea of augmenting
our army and navy should be a non
partisan one. Representative Lee, |
believe, ranks second on the Commit
tee of Agriculture, one of the most
important Committees of the House.
Being one of the ablest members of
this Committee, this puts him pretty
near the Craftsmanship. The farm
ers of his district may trust him con-
fidently. for agriculture hasn't an
ADLER or sincere friend

exclusive of the militia. The cost
| for the first year of this system Is
estimated at five hundred and three
million dollars. The Secretary Of
War approves many of the recon-
mendations but holds the cost of the
plan to be prohibitive. 1t looks to

greater than from without. Thanks

the subject Of Georgia's contribution

of the First district, delivered a sort

The speakers were eloquently ard
appropriately introduced by the bril-

pleasant evening, and Washington
knows now is she never did before,
that Georgia is both conspicuously
and substantially on the map of these
United States. 1t is a matter of in
expressable pride, and others than
Georgians believe it, that no State in
the Union is any better represented

BILLY SUNDAY. - The people of
Philadelphia who went on the spirit
ual drunk with their $4,000 evan
gelist are putting the best face on the
matter that is possible, but disap-
pointment regarding results cannot
be concealed. Some of the newspa-
pers that contributed to the spree
while it was on are now sober, if not
repentant. The Public Ledger, which
was as bad as any, has since depre-
Gated the unfortunate demand for
money that is now discovered to
have been the main object of the re-
vivalist, if not of the committee which
promoted his exhibition. The Ledger
takes water also in this fashion: /.
without minimizing in the slight
est the good that may result from
the Billy Sunday campaign in awak-
ening a new religious interest in the
community it can be said beyond a
doubt that he has done incalculabIe
harm in certain directions. 4
Here are some aspects of his
teaching that are worse than pagan:
It's a good thing Pm not God for f1f-
teen minutes. If we're, I'd fill your
papers with obituaries and fill freight
cars with the dead
Nothing is more anti-C Christian
than to spread the doctrine of hate,
And it must be admitted that quite
recently religious bigotry in America
has developed to a degree that is
comparable only with the blood-lust
of the worst of the middle ages. TO
hell with the Turk cried Sunday.
The horrible slogan carries us back
to the grewsome barbarities of the
Crusades. Consigning evolutionists
and higher critics to everlasting per-
dition- among them men like Henry
Ward Beecher, Henry Drummond,
George Adam Smith and Phillips
Brooks -does not smack of Christian |
