The other day l had occasion to
want the history of the United States
written by Alexander Stephens in
1882. l called up the Congressional
Library and asked if they had this
history by the great Georgia Com
moner, and they replied mo-" 1

In a short while the phone rang
and the librarian said he was glad
to announce that they had the his

Senator when he returned that they

MACON WAS ON THE MAP.

The ceremonies attending the in
auguration of Governor Nat Harris
in Atlanta Saturday was featured by
Macon's splendid showing.
1t is doubtful if any city of equal
size has ever made a better show
ing away from home. The drum and
bugle corps, three companies of ma
litia and nearly thousand citizens
from every walk of life-these con-
stituted the Macon parade, which, a
mile long, marched through the
streets from the terminal station to
the capitol.
Macon was certainly on the map.
1t was a splendid bit of self-adver-
tisement and magnificent exhibit
ton of civic pride and enterprise.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington City
June 28th, 1917

June Zoin, 1919.
Washingtonians are under obliga-
lions to the distinguished gentleman
from the fifth congressional District,
Hon. Bill Schley Howard. And
will tell you how it came about-ast
year during the long and tedious SEES
sion of Congress the doughty gentle
man from Georgia would sandwich A
little rest amid his arduous duties by
attending occasionally a game of
base ball
Out at the baseball park there are
number of soft drink stands and
taking advantage of the situation
the soft drink people pooled interests
and instead of selling drinks as US
ual for five cents, they doubled the
price and didn't seem to care tink-
ers continental whether they served
you or not. They had a monopoly of
the situation you see, could get ten
cents drink and beside you had to
be as polite as a Chicago drummer
One day Congressman Howard was
attending a game, being hot and
thirsty he wanted drink of ice
water, was served, but was charged
for it according to the tune of ten
cents. The Congressman thought
this was outrageous, not only doubl-
ing the price on soft drinks, but
charging not Give cents" but two
prices for a drink of water. "Iu
attend to this monopoly" observed
Mr. Howard, and without further ado
he introduced and secured the pas
sage of bill establishing water foun-
tains at all public places in Wash
ington and the District of Columbia,
Now the enthusiastic baseball fans
can have their parching thirst
assuaged without money and with
out price
The credit for breaking up this
wicked monopoly and starting the
gurglipg ice cold fountains must be
given to the thoughtful and wide a.
wake Georgia Congressman. Many
are the praises that are being pro-
nounced upon the natural nobleman
of the Georgia delegation in Con-
gress for this considerable and merit
orious response to the peoples needs,
and for breaking up the soft drink
monopoly at the baseball park. l
have heard of trust busters but Mr..
Howard is the first that | know of
to lay one out cold and dead, this is
going Teddie Roosevelt that high
sounding trust buster one to the
good. William Schley Towards name
is now household word in the cap
ital city and the District of Column
bia.

POINTS OF VIEW.


A we'll dressed young man walked
into our composing room between
two signs that shouted in big black
type Tramp printers must stay OUT
and asked for the foreman.
The foreman had not returned
from lunch so we engaged in CONVEX
sation with the applicant for job.
He had been employed last in Ha-
vana he said but had lost his job on
account of a retrenchment in expen-
ses and had come back to Atlanta
where the only work he had been Of
fered would pay him only $500
week.
We asked: why not accept the
SIS week? That is surely better
than nothing and you might be pro-
NOTED if you are faithful in little
things"
The young man laughed and said:
81 think S. a week is worse than
nothing. 1t wouldn't pay my
board.
Then we reflected on the article
recently published by Miss Ida Tar
bell on the case of the girl who kill
ed herself because she could not pay
over 20c for her dinner.
1t is almost incredible how little
simple, nourishing food costs A
great many downtown workers in
Atlanta spend less than zoe for their
lunches at noon. There are lunch
counters in connection with many
drug stores and ice-cream parlors
where big triangle of pie costs only
SO and glass of milk SO Then fine
sandwiches of ham or chicken salad
that cost only ten cents. 2
1t has been told that one of the
most successful lawyers in the south
had been accustomed to lunch on
cheese and crackers in his office
when he began the practice of law.
If he had allowed his stomach to
dominate him in his youth the con-
sequences would have been disas-
trous 1t is well enough to enjoy
good dinners when you can afford to
in every way, but plain living is
best for health and achievement in
any kind of endeavor. A youth who
scorns SIS week as worse than moth
ing is a very shallow thinker and
may live to see the day when such
an income would seem princely to
him. If we had needed a printer we
would not have employed him be-
cause we like to see a boy who is
willing under some circumstances to
demonstrate what he can do before
setting a price on his services.
Just today we read a story of a
graduate of some school of technol-
| Ogy who had decided he would be a
worker in the electric light bust
ness. So he went to the owner of
such a plant and offered to work
six months for nothing just to i'm
prove his time. Of course such a
boy was successful.
Every case is not alike to be sure
but enc of Atlanta's most prominent
and efficient men recently lectured
his immense Bible class of men on
the duty of the hour, as Sunday
School teachers are expected to do,
and when he announced his text, it
was: Should a hen stop scratchin'
because the worms are scase?"

A POTATO CROP.

Uncle Gid Morris is ready to har-
vest a whole lot of fine onions as
a second crop from the two acres
on which he raised 900 bushels of
Irish bushels. He sold the potatoes
for a little over $500. The secret
the fine crops Mr.. Morris makes is
fertility of the soil. He never
wearies in restoring and increasing
the productiveness of his land. We
are looking forward to receiving a
speciman of his fine yellow onions.

! Based upon the theory and science O ] modern football Harvard is favored to defeat Yale, but that the game will fol- low these lines is not at all certain since gridiron form has received far more than l the usual number of jolts and upsets | this fall. It sometimes happens that the strength and individual and ability of 1 men forming combination is so great that it will conquer a perfect machine moulded from mediocre material, espe- cially if the breaks in the game favor the stronger but cruder playing eleven. This was demonstrated in the victory | of Yale over Princeton
 l The Harvard eleven of 1915 is not of the same calibre as Princeton however, for 1 the Crimson is built of better material and by a coaching system which is thor I oughly established and working with per- feet smoothneSs.
 1 Yale, since her string of defeats at the | hands of Washington and Jefferson, Col l gate and Brown, has made remarkable i strides under the coaching of Tom Shev- I lin and others. It was the development of powerful fighting spirit and unusual l keenness in following the ball rather than any advancement in team work either on ] attack or defense that gave the Blue | victory over Princeton. That the same methods applied to Harvard will bring an- other win appears unlikely, although it ] is conceded that the battle will be far | closer than was thought few weeks ago 1 for the Ellis now believe, and rightly so, l that they have chance of defeating the : Crimson
 | Harvard, however, is not unaware oi l the test that faces her tomorrow, for 1 her leading players and coaches witnessed the turning of Yale against Princeton and as a result do not underestimate 1 the strength and possibilities of the Blue. l The contest is likely to be played along l cautious lines with an unusual amount of kicking. Harvard fundamentally and 1 in material is perhaps better euipped to strike successfully at the right moment 1 than Yale.
 l The lines from tackle to tackle are tsEout equal, while the Crimson has the advantage at the ends. Both teams have powerful back fields Harvard, with Ma han, King and Boles has great trio o1
 1 piungers and end runners. For Yale, ! Captain Wilson, Bingham and Guernsey
 1 with Scoville as alternate, are almost, ii
 not quite as good.
 l In kicking Captain Mahan punts the
 l ball further and with better direction
 than Guernsey, but after the latter's dror
 | kicking feats against Princeton it would
 be a hard prophet who would predict
 that Mahan will outpoint Guernsey ir
 | this respect.
 | It is not unlikely that the final out

 A heavy rain that fell today is be- lieved to have penetrated the straw spread over the stadium gridiron and softened the turf, which will initiate against the open running attack ex-
 pected from Harvard. While the fore cast calls for clearing weather Satur-
