SWIMMING RACE All
SILVER SPRINGS
Many Were Present at the Event and
Great Interest was
Manifested

What is perhaps the largest water
contest ever held at Silver Springs
was witnessed at that natural pool
yesterday afternoon by a crowd of
fully 500 persons. 1t is estimated
that at least $50 automobiles were
parked at the springs during the con.
test. The afternoon was a delightful
one, clear and bracing, and the sports
were thoroughly enjoyed.
The entries were numerous and the
swimming and diving was spirited.
K. S. Hall Jr. captured three con-
tests. He won in the 100-yard dash,
in the 440-yard dashand the dive for
form. The prize for the 100-yard
dash was a handsome Stetson hat
donated by H. A. Waterman, the prize
for the 440-yard contest & nifty shirt,
presented by the Commercial Bank,
and the prize for the dive was another
nifty shirt presented by the ssme
bank. Miss Clifton Sexton vas wIn-
ner of the 25-yard dash for girls un
der II years of age, and was present
ed with a season ticket for bathing
for 1917. Miss Cornelia Dozier car
ried off the prize for the best dive
for girls under II years of age, the
prize being a season ticket. Miss
Blair Woodrow won the 500-yard dash
for girls under 21 years of age, and
was presented with a season ticket.
The 50-yard swim for boys under 21
was won by Mr.. Coon, the prize being
a box of socks and two ties, presented
by the Commercial Bank. In the 440-
yard dash for girls under 21 there
were three participants: Miss Blair
Woodrow, Miss Gladys Drake and
Miss Marguerite Moore. Miss Moore
won the event. She is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Moore, of this
city, and it will be remembered that
she was recently successful in SWIM
ming contests in Tampa. Miss Drake
finished second, and Miss Woodrow
did not finish.
The judges of the contests were
Messrs. b. f. Condor, Sam Leigh and
j. T. Moore. Mr.. Harry E1pert was
starter.
Mr.. Ed Carmichael is making a
move in the right direction in pro-
noting contests of this kind at the
springs. His efforts to make Silver
Springs popular summer and win
ter watering place deserve encourage
ment. This season the springs have
been more popular than they have
been for many year. Mr.. Harry Ell
pert, who has been acting as life
guard at the springs, is swimmer of
and ne has co-operated
with Mr.. Carmichael in splendid
1t has become a common
thing to see parties going to the
springs for plunge before break
fast.

WATSON THINKS HE
IS A WARWICK
viii Try to Prevent Georgia Demo-
cratic Convention from
Endorsing Wilson
Gainesville, Sept. ga specis

Gainesville, Sept. ga special
from Atlanta to the Sun says:
Not only is Hugh NJ. Dorsey, DEM
| ocratic governor-elect of Georgia,
confronted with a demand from
Thomas E. Watson that the platform
adopted by the Macon convention,
which meets next Tuesday, shall con-
tain no Endorsement of President
Woodrow Wilson or of the democratic
administration in Washington, but he
is confronted with the further demand
than the democratic state convention
III Macon shall actually condemn the
president and the democratic Con-
gress.
Perhaps never before in the history
of the democrats in Georgia has such
situation presented itself. Here is
democratic goverEor-elect, nominat-
&c by democrats in a democratic pri-
mary, about to be formally nominated
by democratic convention, COM
manded by the arch enemy of his
party in Georgia to condemn the
party's national leader and the par
ty's administration of the affairs of
the national government.
Condemnation of Wilson, condem-
nation of the democratic Congress, is
what Watson demands. If he can't
get that, he demands that the Macon
convention, at the very least, shall in
clude no Endorsement of Wilson or of
the democratic Congress in its plat
form. Such thing as an affirmative
Endorsement of Wilson or of Congress
is absolutely out OF the question, so
far as Watson is concerned. His
wrath would know no bounds if the
democratic convention should dare to
violate his orders to that extent, |
judging by the language of his edi-
torials in the latest issue of "The |
Jeeffrsonian"
What will Dorsey do?
What will his friends do?
There is Albert Howell Jr., some
times known as "Little Albert" law
partner of Hugh Dorsey and brains
of his campaign. Mr.. Howell's broth
er, Clark Howell, is democratic ma
tional committeeman from Georgia.
The Atlanta Constitution, of which
Clark Howell is editor and Albert
Howell president, has supported Will
son consistently. Certain it is, there
fore, that Albert Howell will not con-
sent to a refusal to indorse Wilson,
much less to condemnation of his ad-
Their is J. R. Smith of Atlanta,
president of the Fulton County Hugh
Dorsey Club, prospective chairman of
the resolutions and platform commit
tee of the Macon convention, as strong
a supporter of Woodrow Wilson. Ger
tain it is that ]. R. Smith will not
consent to slapping Woodrow Wilson
in the face.
Yet Watson's orders are clear, un-
emphatic and peremptory.
He asserts that the governor-elect
was not a democratic candidate, that |
the primary was not a democratic
primary, that the convention will not
be a democratic convention, that the
to be conferred by the
will not be a democratic
Republicans, progressives, social
lists, every stripe and color except ne
groes, participated in, the primary,
asserts Watson, "and therefore it
would be ungrateful, indecent and
even brutal to slap those men in the
face with a Wilson Endorsement,
which has no business in this (the
Macon)- convention"

Women do not seek lives of prostitu-
ton except under economic pressure
or economic expediency or under the
handicap of moral and mental defects
resulting from previous family eco
nomic conditions.
Thousands of girls are driven into
prostitution because of sheer inabil-
tty to keep body and soul together on
the low wages received by them.
by the testimony of the girl VIC
Tins, in one unbroken narrative of
hopeless struggle; by the reports of
their private conversations from ex-
perienced Investigators; by the OBJ
servations and judgments of social
workers whose integrity has never
been questioned; and, over and above
all, by the figures of what the girls
are actually paid and what it actual
ly costs them to live; the hideous de-
felt and the more hideous contempla-
ton of how sometimes that deficit
must be bridged; is your committee
brought irTetrievably to this finding.
1t is not matter of sentiment, or of
emotion, or OF opinion. 1t is the fact,
cold, not nice, uncomplimentary to all
of us; but nevertheless the fact"
The report which defines it's mean
ing of prostitution to refer to girls
and women who sell themselves for
money and not to the act of immoral
ity when not compensated, declares
that girls hope of redemption after
she has errer grades downward with
the intensity of her struggle for ex-

is dimmest where the temptation is
strongest, with the girl whose wage
cannot support her.

timony of the State street shopkeep,
ers and mail order heads and records
the admission of Julius Rosenwald,
philanthropist and head of the Sears
Roebuck &, Co., that 1926 per cent
of all of the females employed by that
house received less than So, after
Rosenwald had testified that an in
quiry was made by the heads of va
rious departments among the en-
ployes.
After showing by the testimony Of
the employers that they believed the
deficit between the low wage they
paid and the least on which a girl
could live should be saddled by the
parents, the report tersely shows how
this would work out, taking, as it
frankly admits after it's investigation,
what is considered a high average
wage for male employees, $15.41, &C
cording to the testimony Of the
bosses.
This amount it is shown is not
sufficient to support two adults and
a growing infant and save money,
and the child, under the labor law,
must be supported until it is IA. At
that age the girl goes to work and
from IA to 16 receives in the average
place So a week and from 16 to 18
probably SIS week.
The deficit between her wage and
that which it costs to supply her with
sufficient food, clothing and shelter
during. that time amounts to 1892.
The father must meet the deficit with
an economy prohibitive of many fam
lily necessities or go into debt. In
either case, the family environment
is lowered and worry displaces the
,contentment that is essential to sane
morals.
