THERE'LL BE NO
SOX FOR WOMEN
Elongated Hosiery VIII Never Be
Discarded For That of Brief
Length, Say Wholesalers.

However short the skirts of Georgia
women may be, or get or shrink, or
however prehistoric the word petit
coat may be or become, the stock
ings now worn, filled or shown will
never dwindle, shorten or be less. No
nice woman will wear socks, honest.
Recently there was furry in some
newspapers to the effect that begin
ming almost at once the elite of ev-
erywhere would draw on socks and
never again turn to long hose. The
article in it's brief length said that
long stockings had little to recon-
mend them any way for any one, and
that women all over the country
would welcome vogue which would
be so we'll based in common sense.
For the benefit of retailers who
might be misled by such reports buy
ers for wholesale houses who have re-
turned from New York go on record
with the assurance that there is no
truth in them and no basis for them
to rest on. "Short Stockings?
BunkP' they say.

MERMAID WEBS
MAN SHE SAVED
Rose Pitonot Pulled DR.. Weene From
Sea of Water and Then Snatched
Him Into Matrimonial Sea.


This mermaid of the sea is entitled
to the husband she has just acquired.
She pulled him out of the ocean and
saved his life.
The mermaid was before her mar
riage Rose Pitonot, of Dorchester
Mass. whose name has been familiar
TO those who have followed aquatic
achievements since she was a little
girl. She is one of the most wonder
full woman swimmers in the world,
having been the first of her sex to
make the swim to the Boston light.
Her next sensational feat was the ~
mile Coney Island swim.
Ever since she was child she mas
been a marvel in the water, and year
by wear she has made fresh conquest
of the water.
It was last December that she saw
ed the life of DR.. Frederick l. Weene'
of Somerville, Mass, in the waters
of Marblehead. He is a dentist, and
lost no time in securing the promise
of his rescuer to go along with HIM
through life and care for him. They
were married last week at Dorches-
ter. ia
Rose Pitonot, when II years old,
was pronounced by DR.. Dudley A.
Saroeant of Harvard the most Won
derful type of feminine physical per
lection and a marvel of well olsCrlo-
uted strength

YOUR UNCLE SANS
CASH ACCOUNT
1t Requires More Than a Billion
Dollars to Foot His Bills For
One Year.

With an actual balance on hand of
S174,965,231.97 the United States
ended its fiscal year June 80 in bet
ter financial shape than in any year
since 1908.
In his report Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo says: "The sur
plus of all receipts over all expendi-
lures for the year amounted to $751;
737,S1O.11, as compared with de-
felt of $59,436, 58O.15 for the fiscal
year 1915.
''Income tax receipts" he contin-
ues, reached the great total of
$124,867,43O.28, as compared with
79,S28,675.27 for the previous year.
This amount included 56,909,941.78
from corporations and $67,957,-
488.5O from individuals, exceeding
all estimates of collections for the
year.
Customs receipts for the year
amounted to $211,866,222.34, as
against s2O9, 268, 1O7.43 the previous
year, and exceeded the estimate by
more than 100000.
Receipts from internal revenue
were unprecedented and remarkable,
reaching the enormous total of $512,-
TAO, 1889, and exceeding previous
estimates by many millions"
On top of this strong financial con-
dition comes the new reVenue-raising
measure that has been introduced,
calling for $210,OO0,OOO to $685.
600, 900, most of which is to come
from incomes and gunpowder. The
income tax section of the bill in
creases the normal tax on every in
dividual and corporation to two per
cent instead of the present one per
cent.

Germans Use "Divining Rod"
In Egypt To Find Water.

DR.. Preyer admits that he does not
know the secret of the divining rod,
and that seemingly a peculiarly gift
ed'' man must use the instrument to
have success. He believes that sci
ence will discover that subterranean
streams flowing under pressure emit
rays like the radio active rays OF
some springs which force their way
through the earth and affect certain
peculiarly constituted persons.
He describes Major Won Goetzner,
who used the rod in Egypt, as re-
tuned up" to an unusual tension
when he takes the rod into his hands
and begins to walk across tne oeseas SER
The major generally uses an IRON
rod for. though it is less sensible to
the the mysterious forces which make it

cause of its highly developed gifts

DIR. Tn. Preyer, formerly in the Ger

THRIFTY PERSONS ARE
GREATLY ON INCREASE
OVER 14,O0O,O 900 DEPOSITORS IN
NATIONAL BANKS. NEARLY
DOUBLE TOTAL IN 1910.

An unprecedented increase in the
number of depositors in national
banks throughout the United States
is disclosed in statement issued by
John Shelton Williams, the controller
of the currency.
The number of depositors on May
1, 1915, was 14,2S8,059. On June
80, 1910, when the last previous SIM
liar compilation was made, the total
was 7,690,468. The increase in the
number of national bank depositors
between 1910 and the present time
was 6,597,591, or sc per cent.
The present figures include reports
of 1888 national banks out of to-
tai of 1873. The number of nation
al banks in 1910 was 6,O12.
Pennsylvania leads all the states in
the number of depositors, reporting
2,O21, 1878, an increase since 1910 of
1852, 738, or so per cent. New York
shows the next large number, 1885,
All, an increase of 500, 616, or 70
per cent. Illinois comes third with
847,637 depositors, an Increase since
1910 of 376,910, or 80 per cent.
The state which showed the largest
percentage of increase in the number
of depositors was Tennessee, the in
crease in six years being 251 per
cent, or from 1899 depositors in
1910 to 257, 508 in 1916.
1t appears that in Pennsylvania
there are 100 national bank accounts
for every Ala of population; in YER
mont, for each 483 population; in
Oregon, for each $50 of population,
and in Minnesota and Iowa there are
about 100 national bank depositors
for each 480 of population. The New
England states have 100 national
bank accounts for each $50 of popu-
lation, the eastern states average 100
accounts for every SIT of population,
the southern states for each 991 of
population, the Pacific states for each
579 of population, the western states
for each STA of population. Through
out the entire United States there is
an average of 100 national bank ac-
counts for every 704 of population.

he continued q find that even those
who were at first opposed to bonding

of the roads by means of funds OBJ

At The Baptist
Church Sunday

The Introduction to Bro. Wears
sermon on Sunday morning was the
reading OF Acts Is with clear and
comprehensive exposition of the de-
cisive . done by the council at
Jerusalet When the early church.
with its Jewish and Gentle Chris
tians, settled the question of circum-
cision. The text upon which the SER
mon rested was Eph. 2:S, 8: For
by grace are We saved. through faith,
and that not of yourselves. it is the
gift of God. Not of works, lest any
man should boast"
Two doctrines-works and grace
Christ, the end of the law; the
Mosaic law had passed away. This
wonderful doctrine of grace. the gift
of God-salvation not only by grace
but by personal faith in Jesus Christ.
Ever keep green the thought that
not of yourself, but through the gift
of God do we receive salvation. In
tellectual faith will not save.
We must separate salvation and
works. How dangerous would be our
path if each one was required to
work his way into glory. The speak
ers at the council at Jerusalem
James, the wonderful pastor; Peter.
Paul. and Barnabas. resolved that
where no principle was involved they
allow liberty of conscience to the
Gentiles in the observation of Jew
ish rites. Where there was principle
at stake they stood staunch. This
was a democratic body-each with
its right to vote, to dissent and dis
cuss. This democratic spirit is a
vital pont n the lie of each Baptist
church of today. As it was in the
church at Antioch, in the council at
Jerusalem, as it is in the associations
and church conventions of the Bap-
tist churches of today, this same
democratic spirit prevails. Closing
with the thought that we work be-
cause we are saved, work while 1t is
day, Bro. Wear sought in the SER
mon of last Sunday evening to estab-
lish the fact of hell as a prepared
place. AS this was not settled in
the minds of some he continued his
study of this subject on Sunday ev-
ening. Subject, "The Justice of
He'll, or Should the God of Love Have
