afternoon, no cards being used, and at
the conclusion of the game a salad
course and iced refreshments was
served by the popular hostess.
Holiday decorations in ferns, au-
tumn leaves and Christmas holly fur
nished the decorative scheme for the
occasion, the stately Riley home being
transformed into veritable vision of
loneliness by the artistic arrangement
of the green foliage and forming a
peculiarly appropriate background for
the suDerbly gowned players, seated
at the tables.

out-of-town visitors, who are guests
of Americas people during the post

moved from Savannah to Americas,
and Misses Anna and Elizabeth Har-
rold of Macon, who are spending the

Labor Turns
Tables on Men
Who Advises

LONDON, Jan. AFTER the cabinet
ministers made an earnest appeal to
tie trade union congress to defer de-
lnands for increased wages until after
the war on the ground of national
economy, the suggestion came from
the unions that the ministers them
selves might set an example in econ
omy by giving up a part of their sal
aries, which in some offices are prin
cley. 1t was indicated in parliament
that such a movement was contem-
plated by the ministers. Butnow a
leading liberal paper makes an ingen-
icus defense of the old scale of sal
aries.
y 1T is a old saying" the paper arg
ues, that a miniter who gives his
whole attention to the nations affairs
has little tine for his own, and in the
case of some cabinet ministers a
sudden drop of a third to a half of
their incomes would create private
financial problems, and therefore
some distraction of mind. Ministers
are supposed to be of importace to
the nations business, and distraction
of mind is therefore thing to be
AVOIDED. 1t is OF at all unlikely this
consideration may prevail"

THE FIGHT IS ON
BETWEEN STATE NOW

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 1.-The State
Of Georgia and the L. & n Railroad,
which have been sparring for points
or the Western & Atlantic situation
for some months past, have finally
come definitely to grips.
Attorney General Clifford Walker,
ably seconded by the specially ap-
pointed assistants who will be associ-
ated with him in the big contest, is
preparing to take legal steps to
block every move made by the l.. &
n. railroad in the direction Of obtain
ing the right to parallel the Western
& Atlantic.
The first clash came when the L. &
N. inserted in three North Georgia
newspapers legal advertisements call
ing attention to their proposed change
in charter and intention to build the
so-called branch between Marietta and
Gainesville.
Immediately representatives of the
attorney general went to Gainesville
and obtained temporary injunctions
stopping the newspapers from pub
fishing the advertisements.
Attorney General Walker is devot-
ing nearly all of his time to the stu
alton, which it is believed can be
fully protected from the standpoint of
the states interest.

SMALL NEGRO BOY
CAUGHT WITH PISTOL

LUMPKIN, Ga, Jan. Geo. T.
Dennard, little Ethiopian of the
"pickaninny" class, decided to resign
from the rock toters" club to join the
hip pocket" gang, which is known by
insignia they wear Ga pistol which is
hardly ever seen, unless the occasion
demands. Such was the case yester-
day when Geo. T. drew his on another
negro, thereupon Mr.. Woodruff, our
1ion-bearted chief of police, put him
under arrest.
Geo. T. is the same little moke that
put a cash in another little negro's
head some weeks back and it seems
that he is on the direct road to the
changing.
He would have been put in Jail but
being so small it was decided to let
his mother infiict the punishment by
applying the lash and denying him
the pleasure of coming up town in a
week. This means of punishment is
very irritating to Geo. T. because he'll
miss the Merry Go Round.

Did you give him smile? He was
downcast and blue,
And the smile would have helped him
to battle it through.
Did you give him your hand? He was
slipping down hill,
And the world, so 1 fancied, was US

Did you give him a word? Did you
show him the road?
Or did you just let him go on with
his load?
Do you know what it means to be
losing the fight,
When a lift just in time might set
everything right?
Do you know what it means-just a
clasp of the hand,
When mans borne about all a man
ought to stand?
YET
Did you ask what it was-why the
quivering lip?
Why the half-suppressed sob, and the
scalding tears drip?
Were you brother of his when the
time came of need?
Did you offer him help, or didn't you
heed? Unidentified.
