Birthday OF the Edison
Incandescent Lamp.

Suddenly and without warning
if some unforeseen reversal Of the
law of nature should prevent the
Edison incandescent lamp from
filling its mission in lighting the
habitations of mankind there would
descend on the world a calamity
affecting more people than any cat.
ascope mentioned in history. Mill
ions OF homes would be plunged in
to darkness, factories would have
to stop work the signal lights OF
railroads would refuse to operate,
even the telephone switchboards
would be confused and only TIE
electric arcs would remain burning
in the streets.
Such an occurrence happening to-
day would make the world st op in its
needless rush and consider for a
moment the importnce of Edison g
greatest invention when, after work.
ing day and night for months at q
time. he invented the first electric
lamp, lamp which. even in its
most improved fornl-the Mazda
lsnap, ops.hss on the same prin.
caple rs the one which Edison com.
pleted thirty seven years ago this
| month. For it was on October 21st,
1879, when Edison announced Va
the world that he had invented the
electric lamp. It was considered
marvellous when the Edison factory
produced thousand lamps a day.
Now, in the great ELLISON lamp
factories at Harrison, n. j., lamps
are turned out at the rate OF 35, 900
lamps an hour, lamps which gives
three times the light for the same
amount of electricity as the old type
carbon lamp.

ATLANTA LAWYERS DISCUSS
STATUS OF THE WORD ''SCAB'

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 14-Is the
word "scab' when applied to a man
engaged in lawful work, an insult?
James l.. Mayson, city attorney OF
Atlanta, has advised Recorder George
E. Johnson, who presides over the
police court of the city, that the use OF
the word in this connection is not an
insult; and the people whose sympa-
thies are on the side of the striking
street car motormen and conductors
are hailing his ruling with delight.
Judge Ben H. Hill, who presides over
the Fulton Superior court, has advised
jury which tried bricklayer for
throwing a rock at a street car that the
use of the word is an insult, a term OF
opprobrium, an epithet and the equiva-
lent of the first blow in an alteration.
Anything that tends to disturb the
peace, any act or word is violation
of the law, ana the word 'scab' certain
w comes within that classification,
Judge Hill charged.

SOUTH IS ATTRACTIVE
FOR H0MESEAKERS NOW

COLUMBUS, Ga, Oct. 1.-THE In
dustrial Index says in its issue for
this week:
The activity and prosperity that
are so pronounced in the Southeas
make this city more inviting than
ever to homeseekers and investors.
The Southeast offers more for them
than does any other part of the coun-
try The Southeast has more unde-
veloped resources than has any other
section. but this has long been true.
The exceptional opportunities which
the Southeast offers are based largely
upon the fact that it is growing, ex-
panding, progressing, developing. 1t
is in communities and sections that are
growing and accomplishing things that
opportunity exists The community or
section that is at standstill, that is
grown offers little opportunity.
I'm the Southeast are millions of
acres that can be made profitable pro
ductive and under the most inpiting
conditions. There are manufacturing
opportunities that afford safe, profit
able investment. There are numerous
lines of business which are inviting.
THE South and the Southeast are
coming as never before to realization
of the worth of their resources and the
possibilities of development. A vert
definite change in the order of things
is in progress. The opportunities were
never so inviting.
"Twenty-one corporation were
formed during the week with minimum
capital stocks aggregating $6O95OO.

BUSINESS INTERESTS
FIGHT LIABILITY ACT

PANAMA, Oct. 1.-THE employers
liability law which has Passed the
national assembly AMI is in the hands
of the president for signature is be-
ing vigorously opposed by local bus
mess interests and foreign corpor-
ations doing business in the republic.
The latter feel that in the event the
act becomes law it will be applied
unequally and made a means of hold
ing up the outside corporations. The
opposition of local interests is based
partly on the application of the law to
themselves and partly on their gem
eral desire to have nothing done to
discourage the investment Of capital
The most Objectionable feature, ac-
cording to the opposing employers, is
the provision Of half pay during sick
ness incurred while at work. This is
beneved to be capable of infinite abuse.
for the reason that many of the labor
ers lay off a great deal and lie around
their quarters in condition between
plain laziness and a sort of sickness
which is the result of hookworm ana
the lack of proper nourishment About
70 per cent. of the people have hook
worm, according to the reports of the
Rockefeller oundation and in some
districts over half of the people are
chemically infected with malariai
fever.
Employers Do Not Trust Government
Another prime objection to the law
lies in the procedure outlined for its
application. This requires that funds
be deposited in the national treasury to
guarantee the payment of liabilities,
or that every employee be insured in
an insurance company for the purpose
to be organized in Panama The for
ign corporations profess to believe that
the funds they put up will be stolen
and they do not think an insurance
company could be handled economical
| ly, or even safely, so that they would
be liable to lose all that they invested
with one.
The corporations contend that the
law. while excellent in many respects
is too far ahead of the economic and
canitary development of Panama
They claim it has been adapted from
laws recently enacted in highly devel-
cped countries, and is not applicable
to Panama

THANKSGIVING

From the time of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, Ameri- cans have been accustomed to set aside one day in the year wherein to review the past year and take stock of the dealings of Providence with us as a people. l
 What was at first the sponta- neous expression of grateful hearts soon became a custom, and as the years sped this GUS tom became fixed, until today it assumes the sacredness of a per manent institution.
 This season is again with us. The fruits of the broad acres of our fair domain have been gar nered in. The warehouses and graneries are fairly bursting with their contents and prosper ity sets a guest at almost every fireside.
 Our President and the gover- nors of the various states have designated the day on which the people shall express to a bounti- full Creator their gratitude for these blessings.
 And to the many positive and material blessings which have been ours, there is added on this occasion the especial blessing that we as a people have escaped the madness that has fallen as a blight upon our neighbors and kinsmen across the waters. The magnitude of that blessing we cannot at this time begin to esti- mate.
 But while we have these pal pablo blessings for which to be thankful, we have other things for which to express our gratitude, and these antedate and underlie our present happi ness and prosperity, and peace and safety. We have to be thank full that back in the days when our nation was being born, a land of heroes, than whom the world has never produced great CT, had impressed upon their hearts to lay the foundations of that nation upon the only poss. ible true and lasting base-t the Fatherhood of an omnipotent God and the brotherhood of man.
 And we have to be thankful that all down the years since that time there have been heroic souls worthy sons of noble sires who have never ceased to call to us with clarion voice to watch and preserve the old landmarks, to plant our feet upon the ever lasting rock and stand firm.
 And over and above all else. we have to be thankful that a merciful God has so moulded the hearts and lives of the people Of this nation that we are enabled to look above and beyond self and see for ourselves.the great prin ciples of eternal truth snd justice that must ultimately rule the whole earth; that we are enabled to grasp the truth that aa in- jury to ourselves, and that a | Aoo,,~ follNurc aallc
