FOR CONGRESS,

To the Voters Of the Third Congress
ional District:
/ hereby respectfully announce my
candidacy for reelection as your Rep
resentative in the Sixty-Fifth (65thl
Congress, subject to the primary to be
held on September 18th.
During the short time l have been
your congressman, have sincerely en-
deavored to serve you faithfully, and
if my efforts and record meet with
your approval, will feel greatly hon
ored and profoundly grateful if you
will give me your support in the COM
ing election. Congress has been In al
most continuous session since you
elected me, and duty required me to
stay here, which prevented me from
visiting you as often as / wished. The
Ways and Means committee is now
daily working on a revenue measure;
being on that committee, / must re-
main here until the new tax law is
passed. AS soon as Congress adjourns,
or before then, if public business will
permit me to leave, expect to canvass
the District, meet the people personal
ly and talk to them face to face, both
Individually and on the stump.
If reelected, promise to discharge
the duties of the great Office with fdel-
ity and to the best of my ability.
From the depths of my heart, /
thank you for your past kindness to
me. Cordially yours

NOT ENOUGH GLORY.

The Georgia prohibition law which
became EFFECTIVE on May 1st would
have been passed had there never ap-
peared such a person on the fitting
stage of Georgia politics as DR.. G..
W. Eichelberger, T. B. Fielder, etc,
and like calibre.
But it is extremely disgusting
among the real and true prohibition
ranks of Georgia to find a side line
attraction for the amusement of the
whole state, with lie, the oath, the YER
acity-all thrown in a common pot, for
the battle.
Somehow or other we cannot re-
frain from thinking that these two
ambition peas-Eichelberger and Eel
der, could not find enough glory and
honor in the cause for each to bear a
laudable share. Therefore, it became
necessary for Brutus. The great
honor of yindicating and unfolding
Georgia's laws was only enough foc
one man-and either Eichelberger or
Fielder must go their way. And
whittier goest thou?
And further than that, We have an
idea that the financial status OF the
Georgia Anti-SaIoon League did not
provide as lucrative salary for each
Eichelberger and Fielder, as it was de-
sired. And, people will curse, fight,
and swear, because of money.
We are better prohobitionists than
either Eichelberger or Fielder, because
we are not in the game "for revenue
only" Georgia's good prohibitionists
should clean out the communicating
associates which will forever make
Georgia laughing-stock.
Glory and money-neither was suffi-
cient to properly care for the feelings
and high sounding prohibition love o.
DR.. Eichelberger and Fielder.

WHEN A GIRL is SIXTEEN.

AS we look for the Towering Of a
plant, we surround it with all the al;
and sunshine that we can for it's best
unfolding. We expect fruit from the
tree, and wait for the moth with
wings of gorgeous color to emerge
from the dull prison of its gray co.
coon.
But Dorothy, at 16, the Towering
period of her life, puzzles us. We find
it hard to understand the transition.
stage of childhood and find the wings
of life that will carry her away from
US; or help to keep her we'll balance
at home.
Dorothy, few months ago, was as
free in her work and in her play as a
colt and as thoughtless. Long braids,
wind blown, her short Bingham skirts
flying about the strong young Limbs
that took her on long races over the
hills with her mates she was just your
little girl Today she is a change
ling. You cannot believe that she is
yours. You wonder if you have lost
her.
She spent last Saturday sewing at
a friends house and she came home
to supper with her skirt heightened to
her shoe tops. She brought fashion
sheet with her and she was late for,
Church Sunday morning because she
spent so much time doing up her
brown locks in the latest mode that
she had seen pictured. When you
scolded her for it, she blished guiltily,
and then she grew darkly sullen, as If
she were of mind to dress herself
now as she wished, not as you wish.
After service she met the new bank
clerk and they walked part way home
together. And Dorothy but yesterday
was csornfuI of boys. She would go
cut of her way to avoid meeting one.
Already impatient of her home
Dorothy says that she wants to go to
the city to try to get work in some
big moving picture studio. She says
that if she is not allowed to go away
from the country she will run away.
Will this girl ever come back; will
our girls be ours again, after this
mighty travail of adolescence, and the
birth struggle of her dawning sex is
the inquiry of every mother at this
stage in daughters life?
Of course, she will. She is with you
now, in spirit. Her very endeavor to
cut home apron strings shows how
much she needs the home at this
period and how much the home can do
for her.-Woman's World.

FACTORIES BUILD TOWNS.

Industrial and commercial enter
prises are the industries that mean
the most for the growth and prosper
ity of town.
Money invested in such enterprises
has greater development power than
in any other investment. Not only
does the man who invests his money
get dividends, or interest on his
money, but he has the satisfaction of
knowing that he has helped the town
and community by giving employment
to others. The man who takes his
thousand or so dollars and invests in
stocks or bonds, or cotton futures, if
you please, and accumulates an i'm
rnense fortune is worth but little to
community, unless he re-invests his
money in enterprises that give en-
ployment to men, giving to the town a
payroll, and thus augmenting its
wealth.
The man who puts his money in in
dustrial enterprises, in factories, so to
speak, is town and community
builder. He is beneiactor to his
people, and should receive his mead
of praise and encouragement.
What the South needs today is more
industrial enterprises. She needs fac
tories, to give employment to her peo-
ale and to encourage others to come
and cast their lot with us. And she
will never really come into her own
until we break from the old custom Of
letting well enough alone, and enter
new fields of endeavor. Right here in
Americas, we need factories. There
are several kinds that could be estah-
lished here and be made to pay,
prime among which we need, ami
should have, cotton mill We need
il to manufacture the cotton that is
produced right at our door. This is
the banner cotton growing section OF
the state, and yet we have no mill,
while in other sections of Georgia
are mills in towns much smaller than
this, and in sections where the produc..
ton of cotton is much less. These
mills are profitable to these sections;
then why can't they be made profit
able here? They can. Our people have
only to wake up and get out of the
old rut of self-satisfaction and grasp
the opportunities that are before
them.
Until something Of this kind is
done, the future growth of Americas
is going to be exceedingly slow. She
has reached the zenith of her glory, as
it were, unless her people do some
thing to produce new life and en-
courage those who would come and
} abide with us.

Your Old Home Town.

What the average resident of Washington does
not know about his old home town literally fills
book. Its title is Report of the Auditor of the
District of Columbia for the Fiscal Year Ended
June go 1916" Its author is A. Tweedalc Peru
sal of the pages of this book just fresh from the
press, reveals much interesting information For
instance, the average person has idea that the
District owns about fifteen or twenty bridges
The book shows that the District owns enough
bridges for an American Venice 2o4 bridges to be
exact and that these bridges cost $s,52s271o5.
The District also owns thirtyeight fire engine and
truck houses built at total cost of $780, 518 thir-
teen police stations that cost $26o21o, and 17s
schools that cost IIo66,45s. The District had to
pay the tidy little sum of $I,7o8.48 for the work
of conveying prisoners to the asylum and Jail
during the year and $3858.o6 for entertaining the
so-called buns" who drift into town and stop at
the Municipal Lodging House. OF course Wash
ington the capital of the nation is very patri-
otic city, but the District found it necessary to
spend only S62.4o during the year for flags.
The District owns leper house, laundry a
cannery, piggery a COW barn, chicken house, a
root house. an oyster shell incinerator and many
other interesting things not included on the tours
of inspection made by our sightseeing visitors.
The preface to Mr.. Twecdale's latest work con-
tains some very interesting statistics on the cost
of housekeeping rather citykeeping by the Dis
trict. He says that general government for the
year cost $722437; protection, $1,oS8 1oS health,
SI,2eoooI; highways $I,741,Io5; charities, $16sa-
$780, education, $3,52o2 236; recreation $67sIss and
interest on debts, $o72I53.
All who read Mr.. Tweedales book doubtless
will find it highly interesting and entertaining As
an index to things you don't know about your old
home town. it Is masterpiece.
