MRS. MARY GooDE" DEAD.
Former Resort Keeper Spent Last Years
Uplifting Fallen Women.

NEW YORK, Dee. 2.-''Mrs. Mary
Goode, whose revelations of police
graft were one of the most startling
features of the investigation of police
methods following the Rosenthal MUIR
der, is dead. and her death has dis
closed that she devoted the last four
years of her life to the uplifting of
fallen women.
Once she kept disreputable house
and, according to her testimony, paid
certain policemen $50 month for pro
lection. Since her reformation, it is
said, she spent most of an allowance
of $4,000 year received from her
family in her rescue work. She always
refused to tell her real name, but it is
said she came of reputable upstate
family. She died Wednesday of pneu-
monia contracted a week ago after a
visit to the women's night court in the
rain.

The London Morning Post on Tuesday
asserted that the Germans were ready for
immediate peace and would give the en-
tente what is desired on condition that
Germany have free hand in Central and
South America. The newspaper added
that that condition had been put forward
by the German government recently and
had been rejected by the allies.

Sorority Does Charitable Work.

Let me state one additional fact. I
know personally of one sorority that
spends each year more money on char
ity than it does on dances or other
forms of pleasure. Every year at
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Year the members of this sorority, in
a commendabl quiet way, provide each
of a dozen more families with bas
kets of food and clothing. the cost be-
ing paid by the members of the soror-
ity. Do you know of any other or
ganization of equal size that does
more?
In conclusion let me beg the critics
of school societies to be fair. The
charge of discrimination cannot be
substantiated. 1t cannot justly be said
that the feelings of pupils have been
hurt by the rejection of applicants.
Those who are admitted are solicited,
but there is no attempt to show par
tiality. and the endeavor is to get pu-
pills who will work the hardest for the
betterment of the school in which the
fraternity is located.

MUST REGISTER
FOR PRIMARY BY.
5 P. NJ. NOV. 4TH.

The city primary for Americas will
be held on November 9th, but a new
registration list governs the voters.
Every qualified voter must register
with the clerk and treasurer in the
office at the City Hall by 5 o'clock
on the afternoon of Saturday, Nc
vember 4th. This is imperative, and
due notice is being given for every
person IN the city.
Much comment has been given to a
movement to have a permanent city
registration, like the state, which
would do away with so many registra-
ticns during the election year, which
leads to confusion and sometimes the
failure of prominent and capable vot-
ers to qualify to exercise their right of
suffrage.
Under the present plan the regis
tration books close at o'clock, No
vember 4th, and the people should reg
lister now and not wait until the last
minute.

IlFTH GEORGIA REGIMENT
IN PARADE THROUGH ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct 24.-The Fifth
regiment of the Georgia National
Guard, composed entirely of Atlanta
companies and known as "Atlantas
Own" regiment, passed through the
city last night on its way to the Mex
lean border, and stopped here long
enough to give a parade through the
principal streets of the downtown sec
ton. 1t had been planned for the pa
":ade to start at O'Clock, but owing to
delays in leaving the state mobiliza-
tion camp at Macon, the three spec
ial trains bearing the troops did not
arrive until nearly o'clock, so that
the parade came after dark, and the
SPECTATORS witnessed it by the light of
the white way" lamps. Governor Har-
ris, Mayor Woodward, General A. j.
West and delegation of prominent
citizens rode at the head of the pa
rade, and thousands of people lined the
streets to give the boys an enthusiastic
ovation in honor of their departure for
the border From here the regiment
went to Birmingham, and from there
to it's destination.
