GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN
SEE ATTORNEY GENERAL
CALL ON HIM IN REGARD TO
SOUTH GEORGIA JUDGESHIP.
SENATORS GIVE REASONS.

Observation-Disclosures chap
ter was written Wednesday after
noon in South Georgia iudgeship
contests when members of the house
delegation met in a secret conference
to consider the matter. The meeting
was held in the office of Represen-
tatlve W. C. Adamson. While those
attending decline to discuss what was
done and said it is significant that a
committee of four representatives
waited upon the attorney general fol-
lowing the conference.
This committee was composed of
Representatives Howard, Crisp, Bell
and Hughes. The last named admit
ted today that the committee speak
ing for the delegation again endorsed
their colleague, Representative Frank
Park, of the Second district, for the
appointment. The committee also
sought from the attorney general to
know If he had recommended to the
president the appointment of Repre-
sentative Park or intended so doing.
The attorney general is under
stood to have been non-committal in
his remarks and to have given no in
timation as to what would be his
course or who would be appointed.
The senators have taken the posi-
ton that they cannot consent to the
naming of Judge Park and will not
permit him to be confirmed. They
say Judge Parks supporters are, in
the main, their political opponents;
that they do not believe he is compe-
tent to fill the office, and that the pre-
sentation of his name to the presi-
dent was "in contemptuous disre-
gard of them"

CLEAVER IS USED
TO REMOVE BEARD
Unique Method Employed by MouI-
trie Man in Shaving for the
Last Fifty Years.

MOULTRIE.-While various Geor-
gia towns are claiming the distinc-
ton of domiciling the man who owns
the oldest razor in service in the
state, Colquitt county comes for
ward as the home of patriarch who
is the possessor of the most unique
shaving implement in the South. 1t
is cleaver, and it's owner, Henry
Russell, has with it been removing
the outrageous growth from his face
which has marked the end of each
week for more than fifty years. Mr..
Russell's idea of shaving DIVORCES
from that of the average man, not
only in the kind of "razor" he uses,
but in the manner of softening his
beard for the operation. He uses
neither soap nor brush for this pur-
pose, relying altogether on the use
of rain water, which he applies with
his hand. Mr.. Russell sharpens his
cleaver by stropping it on a pair of
boots, which, by the way, he has
worn regularly on Sundays for twen-
ey-fve years.

wages and education are as they are.
You won't do any good attacking us.
Why don't you attack those condi-
tions?
cit won't do any good to drive us
out of the city. Has your city and
your church different God, that you
drive evil away by sending US to other
cities?
cts the men who preach morality
and contribute to churches, who take
support from women to whom they
pay wages, that drive these women
here into the life they lead. We will
work for a living wage"
The church echoed with applause.
"The women in the cafes, Rev. Mr.
Smith, that you want to pay attention
to, are not the prostitutes so much as
the mothers who sit there drinking
cocktails in the afternoons, leaving
their children to servants"
Pastor Questions Women.
"This is the saddest moment of
my life," said Mr.. Smith, as the wom-
an stood awaiting his reply.
How many of you have children?"
he asked.
Three-quarters of the women rails
ed their hands.
How many of you are in this life
because you couldn't make enough
to live on?"
Half the women raised their hands.
The pastors voice shook.
'"There are lots of things | would
like to solve, but I am only one poor
he said.
IF l can help one of you to re-
construct your lives" said the pastor,
you may come to me at any time.
"You have raised a tremendous
question, and l pledge myself now to
help you.

DUST ON THE OCEAN?
SURE THERE is, TRAVELLER
Decks of Sail Craft Are Scrubbed
Morning and Night.

"Dust on the ocean-it doesn't
seem possible, does it," observed Col.
Tom Marshall of Columbus, Ohio, at
the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.
c., recently. "Well, it not only is
possible, but actually fact. In my
youth was a sailor. In fact, l spent
the better part of my life on the
ocean.
"On board ship the rule was that
every morning certain number of
the crew were detailed to wash the
decks, and in the evening during the
dog watch, between 4 and 6, another
crew swept and busted the decks and
the other parts Of the ship.
"You wouldn't think it, you land
lubbers, that on each occasion there
was quantity of dust on decks and
everywhere else. The dust was thick
on occasions-so thick that it would
soil ones hands. Where the dust
comes from on the ocean I am sure
don't know"

HELP US" IS PLEA
OF FALLEN WOMEN
DRAMATIC SCENE AT SAN FRAN
CISCO WHEN 500 WOMEN OF
UNDERWORLD GO TO CHURCH.
BIG QUESTION is RAISED.

Following the sensational scene IL
a San Francisco church when SOC
women of the underworld stormed
the place to protest against the pas.
tors warfare on them, the question OF
how to fit the Magdalenes for a place
in the world when they are forced
out of their old occupations rapidly
is becoming a national question of
the day.
The desire expressed everywhere
is: "Give them a chance" One of
the most prominent men to urge a
helping hand is Senator Kenyon of
Iowa. The senator declares low
wages are responsible for women
leading lives of shame, and says if
the wage standard for women can be
lifted the tendency will be to reclaim
many fallen women.
Dramatic Scene in Church.
The San Francisco episode came
about after the Rev. Paul Smith, pas
tor of the Central Methodist Episco-
pal church, had started campaign
for the suppression of the downtown
tenderloin. The women marched into
his church in body and asked him
what he intended to do with them.
Il am not in crusade against you
women" Mr.. Smith said. "No per-
son in the world has more sympathy
for you girls than / have. The prob
lem of commercialized vice is a man
problem. Men are making the mon
ey out of it. l am willing to be of
assistance to any woman in the world
who is in trouble.
Il don't know your purpose in COM
ing here. | am willing to hear you"
Woman Takes Pulpit.
A nicely dressed woman took the
pulpit beside Mr.. Smith.

to ask first how many of the women
in your church would accept us into
their homes-even to work? You

There isn't one among us here
who would not quit this life for de-
cent work. But we won't quit for a
wage of 81 or So week. A pair of
shoes nowadays costs $40.
Every woman here has at least

PROTEST AGAINST SENATOR
SMITHS JUDCESHIP BILL

ATLANTA, Ga.-News dispatches
from Washington disclosing the pro-
visions of Senator Smiths bill pro-
viding for associate federal judges,
which would have the effect of retir-
ing Judge VIM. T. Newman and now
pending in congress, have stimulated
activity in opposition to the measure,
and it is not improbable that the
Georgia congressman will exert their
influence against it.
Petitions were circulated among
the members of the Atlanta bar on
yesterday, and in less than two hours
practically every member of the local
bar signed protest against the meas
ure.
Few Decline to Sign.
Less than a dozen lawyers declin-
ed to sign the protest, justifying
their refusal upon the ground of their
relation to parties who may possibly
be interested in the enactment of the
proposed law.
Similar petitions were simulta-
neously signed by the attorneys re-
siding in the various towns in North
Georgia and were taken to Washing
ton Sunday by committee composed
of members of the state bar asso-
citation.

MORE IMMIGRANTS.

During the six months preceding
February last as many immigrants
came to the United States as during
the entire year ended June 30, 1916,
for which period the entry of 29S,S26
was reported. Considering the in.
creasing dangers of transatlantic
voyages the phenomena is quite con
trary to what might have been rea-
sonably expected.
immigration should have declined
instead of increasing at the rate of
100 per cent. In one other respect,
also. the statement of the immigration
Bureau is surprising. 1t would have
been in accord with the probabilities
if the larger number of immigrants
came from Scandinavia. Spain and
other neutral countries.
But, on the contrary, the largest
contingent for January last when
the total arrivals numbered 24475)
consisted of persons of English and
Scotch nativity 1887 in all; and
the second largest contingent 1,020)
came from Germany.

and of S1.2 per cent as contrasted
with two years ago. This is an ex-
eeedingly satisfactory showing, as the
comparison is made with twenty-three
business days, whereas in February
this year there were only twenty-five
such days.
Furthermore, business conditions
this year were subjected to more or
less restraint, due to transportation
congestion and condition abroad AL

ADVERTISING AND H. C. |

A railroad man accustomed to dis
cussing things from the transporta-
ton standpoint, recently said
a special train is an expensive
thing if devoted to the use of but a
few people But, if engaged to carry
a large excursion party it affords the
cheapest possible transportation"
This railroad man used his illus
tration to show the part advertising
plays in the sale of goods. He pointed
out that the store which had small
volume OF sales was compelled to as
sess the cost of doing business on a
few people for the use of a few peo-
pie, involving great expenses 20 these
people. While the store which, with
little added overhead expenses, was
able TO do a large volume of bust
ness each day, was obviously able to
sell goods at the lowest margin OF
per-sale profit.
Quick turnover being the secret Of
EAEEt1o With a HkDfNF anu GOO bAaHS -
each patron the utmost possible say

store to the excursion train, which, as
ne declared. Afforded the cheapes
possible transportation.
II the volume OF passenger traffic OF
railroads was always at maximum
ii the trains were always filled viii
passengers-the rates could be dras

either the service or the profits o
