THE greatest city in the South Atlanta has had the novel experience of having been dis graced by the necessity of the State Militia having to be called out to protect the Governor ot of the state from mob violence all because of Gov. Slaton com muting the death sentence of Leo M. Frank to life imprlson- ment. Had the Governor of Georgia have done his duty and mi an end to the mob spirit that was allowed to reign Tn Atlanta during the Frank trial' he would have saved the South and his own state and city this disgrace, to say nothing of saving himself from such danger and humiliation. Had the trial jury have been free from the ln- timidation influence of the mob spirit then the verdict would never have been questioned and the Governor would not have had to go thru this kind of a storm in order to keep the man from hanging. Let the people nut MEN instead of designing politicians in office and there will he no danger of mob rule.

And a street of handsome and expensive houses looks dowdy, decadent and run down if the back yards are allowed to become slatternly.

The ARGUS man is seeing and hearing NEW things nearly every day. A merchant said to the ARGUS man as he was being solicited for an advertis- ment for his store. "Oh, the farmers don't read. Whats the use of advertising?
 Pm asking this particular merchant and all others to read the following list of papers and magazines which go regularly every publication day to the "St. Clair Farm" to the north east of Brinkley.

IS TO AUSTRIA WHAT

Paralleling the mighty drive from
west to east that the Germans are
making in Galicia. hundreds of thou
sands of fresh, well-equipped Italian
troops are pressing a rapid invasion

of this region:

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
BEV'S PIRATE.

Bev Richmond was spending the
spring in Florida in a little cottage
on the beach, as his mothers health
demanded the warm climate. After
the cold, dreary winters of the North,
he found it great fun to pass the DAYS
in bathing suit, fishing among the
rocks. Then Uncle John came to stay
a few weeks, and that made things
even more delightful. For every night
before retiring he would tell Bev won
derful stories about the strange things
he had collected-rare coins of gold
and silver and jewelry from many ma
tons. But as the box holding them
was at the bottom of his trunk he did
not get it out to show his nephew.
One night there was a big storm,
and early the next morning Bev was
down at the beach looking over the
wreckage washed ashore. And as he
watched the planks and barrels tossed
in on the waves a tiny boat swept by
Its sail gone and rudder broken
Somehow it reminded the boy of the
pictures he had seen in books of sea
fights. And then an idea flashed across
his municipalities. 1t was just the
kind of boat that the story books said
pirates used and now he felt sure that
there must be some in the neighbor-
hood
Of course, it would be his duty to
capture the pirates. And what a hero
he would be, Pirates were Just the
thing he had been longing all his life
to capture, and now was his chance
They would be big, brown men with
red trousers, dirty shirts, long, black
hair, and daggers in between their
teeth, and they would slip ashore in
the moonlight and bury their treas
ures of gold in a cave. So he must
keep his secret and plan to take them
prisoners quietly. He would get his
uncle's pistol and watch that night,
hidden in the shadow of a rock, and
maybe some way might open that
would enable him to catch the whole
crew. At any rate, he would find out
where they bnuried their treasure.
About II that evening Bev slipped
down to the beach holding the pistol
close to his coat. Far out over the
water cleaned the moonlight and not
sail in sight, so Bev, Struggled down
in a corner of broken rocks and began
to nod. But presently he heard
sound of approaching footsteps. Peer
ing out he saw a man stealing down
the beach with a box in his hands.
Gee, whiz," whispered Bev, aloud,
in delight, "but that must be a sure
enough pirate" But he kept very still
and watched. The man went to the
side of the broken boat, dug a small
hole in the sand, put the box in it,
covered it up again, then started back
up the beach.
When the man was out of sight
around the bend in the shore, Bev ran
to the place where the box was buried
and in a few moment had it dug UP.
When he opened it the moonlight |
flashed on jingling gold and precious
stones With the box in one hand
and the pistol in the other, the boy
fastened up the beach and came in
sight of the man just climbing into
his uncle's window. With a bound
