controlled railroads.
When our fathers granted to the Georgia
Railroad an almost complete exemption
from taxation, forever, they never dreamed
that it would pass under the control of
New Jersey holding company, and would
exploit the home-folks to enrich foreign
capitalists.
When our laws encouraged the Guardians
of minor children; the Administrators, Elk
ecutors and Trustees of estates, to invest the
trust funds in the Central Railroad, it was
not possible to imagine, that band of Wall
Street robbers could raid the road, bond it
to death, sell it in the Federal Court, buy
1t IN, and then leave the widows and orphans
of Georgia to wiring their hands in sudden
poverty, as they learned the worthlessness
of the original stocks and bonds.
We never entirely recovered our Home
Rule, after the Civil War.
We never recovered our general prosper
ity, afterwards.
And we have never been able to give to
the common people as excellent schools as
our fathers had, before the rabid Abolitionist
broke the Constitution, and plunged us into
four years of carnage.
Over the vehement protests of our states
men, the politicians, IN 1870, began the
calamitous trucking to Northern Money.
Anything, anything to get Capital!
With sickening iteration, these time-serv-
ers, and gold-seekers, clamored for ''the de-
velopment of our natural resources"
So eager were we to sell out, that we sur
rendered our mines our mills, our railroads,
our timber lands, our power-sites and our
strcct-car lines, even donating the public
highway to the Telegraph and the Tele-
phone. Companies.
Our great natural resources are gone!
The stranger owns them
a small portion of native GeOrgians were
taken into each Northern corporation, to
girc 1t local color.
The lions share in every one of these
vast aggregations of wealth, is owned In
the North and East.
Their lobbyists crowd our legislature,
throng the corridors, follow the members
into the hall, and loudly demand that our
laws be framed in the interest of our North
ern masters.
The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, and
the three Atlanta dailies are the agents of
these foreign Money Lords.
They have practically exempted from tax
alton the corporations which bleed the
State white, and they have increased offices
and salaries at the expense of the land
owners.
They refuse to allow us a law to reach
cash, notes, stocks. bonds, and mortgages
The honest farmer hides nothing, and
pays on everything; he cannot hide, and he
must pay.
The dishonest capitalist, whose property
is invisible to the assessor, pays as much as
it pIeases him to pay, and no more.
Hence, the landowner is crushed under
the load of double taxation: he pays once
for himself, and once for the tax-dodger.
A maddening tyranny of the Roman
Catholic cookbook Trust, throws our
children out of school, and prevents their
being educated.

We have tried, long and hard, to protect

Parents who are so eager for their
daughters to marry that they consent
to their taking on the matrimonial
yoke at the age of sixteen years may
have many a year to regret having
given their sanction Where the bride
groom Is also very young, mere
youth, the blame cannot be put upon
his shoulders. Youthlike, he sees a
pretty face and, without rhyme or
reason, the thought of marriage pops
into his head There's always some
one ready to tie the knot
The youthful couple launches into
the sea of wedlock like children who
step into toy boat and, without rud-
der or compass, push out on the broad
ocean to sink or swim, as the case
may be. 1t usually takes a decade of
years for such pair to wake up to the
fact that each might have made a diff
ferent choice had they not entered
into it when the heart was too young
to realize the step.
The husband has been beset by bust
ness cares and accepts this situation.
Not so the wife. If she has neither
the cares of family nor homework to
divert her thoughts. she give. herself
up to discontinued reflections and to
looking about seeing the kinds of hus-
bands other girls won, She is sure to
think her own husband suffers by com
parison.
If she listens to unwise advice that
she could do better now if she were
single. her next step is to seek an
annulment Of marriage on the grounds
Of her extreme youth. There are some
judges who listen with pity to such a
wife's story. But there has beer one

Girls have always believed that it
is a mistake to lay bare their whole
hearts even when they feel the deep

that mans serious interest is more
firmly held and endures the longer

have been taught to believe that a
