A BIT
OF ROMANCE.

The car was crowded with men and
women returning from their mid day
meal, men and women intent upon
business, most of them in the plain
garb of the worker, with the intent
look of the person, thinking of the
routine of the day. Here, in one cor
ner, two men were wrangling over
the mistakes Of the administration;
on the other side were two girls talk
ing shop and long hours, but most
of the passengers were absorbed in
their own thoughts.
Then the car stopped and there
entered two women from another
sphere of thought and action. Sweet
faced, with rosy cheeks, dark eyes,
and look of peace that the strife of
war or the harrassment of business
had not dispelled. Two Sisters of
Charity they were, wearing the garb
of the peasant women of France.
High white caps, stiffly starched,
gowns of blue, they made a picture
that seemed almost out of keeping in
their dull surroundings.
For generations the Sisters OF
Charity have gone about their beau
tiful work wearing the garb of the
French peasant women of another
age, in memory of the founder OF
their order. who was peasant girl
of sunny France.
In this worlsaday world, where
there is so much that has no claim,
to beauty of thought or its outward
expression, the Sisters of Charity il
the quaint habits of their order, lift
the dull curtain of the commonplace
and give one glimpses Of romance and
| beauty.

withstand summer heat and occasion
al dronghts excellent.
Like other lawn grasses, Bermuda
needs to be worked up from time to
to time. Usually it is sufficient to
spade Vp a Bermuda lawn once a
year, this can be done to best advan-
tage during the summer time.
Fertilizers.
OF the fertilizers that are advan-
tageous on the lawn nitrate of soda
and sulphate OF ammonia are among
the best as well as the cheapest. Bone
meal is more lasting than either nj
trate of soda or sulphate of ammo
MIA but has the disadvantage of be-
ing more costly, and for time after
its application emits an offensive
odor. Dried blood may also be used
but it is no more hsting than sui
phate of ammonia and decidedly
higher priced.
Preparing the Soil.
If one wishes to start lawn on
very sandy soil it is usually advisa-
BILE to give it heavy coating of well
decomposed muck, or still better we'll
rotted stable manure. If either of
these materials are used in large
quantities a lawn may be made in a
comparatively short time. On very
sandy land one-horse load of de-
composed muck or stable manure to
every 10 by 10 feet will not be found
excessive This should be spaded in
deeply and thoroughly Incorporated
with the sand After this has been
done the grass may be planted. After
the grass has been planted it is adj
visable to roll the surface or use
some other means of firming the soil.

AMERICAN PAC|FISTS
 AIDING THE KAISER .|S ADAMSON'S VIEW

Washington, August 1S.--Declaring z that pacifst agitation in this coun- try is of more value to the Kaiser than if the agitators were in the Ger man army, Representative Adamson today returned to an East Orange, N. J.. pacifist a circular the latter had sent urging the Georgia repre- sentative to support Senator LaFol- lette's peace resolution. Representativa ' Adamson in returning the circular wrote:
 This circular is respectfully re- turned with the assurance that the President no doubt will discover the very first indication of desire on the part of the Kaiser to quit fighting and make peace. The paciss2s by meddling brought this war upon us because they made the Kaiser believe that the American people would not support the Presidents intentions. The pacifists are now prolonging the war and making it more bloody and expen- sive by nagging the President and the administration about peace when they ought to be preparing to whip the Kaiser That is, if they don't want 10 help the Kaiser. If they really want to help the Kaiser, I presume they are pursuing the proper course, as they can do him more service by stirring up dissension among our peo- pie than they could by fighting in tn German army"

 ID CLOSE HOUSES
Judge Gardner of Supreme Court Reinstates Injunc- tion Eliminating Vice
 Pending Appeal

Montgomery, August 1S.-(Special.) After specific reference to number of cases adjudging houses of ill fame public nuisances for abatement in the equity court. Judge Lucien D. Gard ner Saturday decreed the reinstate . ment of Attorney General Martins in junction dissolved by Judge Gaston Gunter on August '. The effect will be the closing of Montgomery houses of i'll fame.
 The further disposition of the mat ter lies with the supreme court OH the appeal made by the attorney gem eral.
 Judge Gaston Gunter in dissolving the injunction held that a court Of equity has no jurisdiction to abats nuisances except when the Jurisdiction is invoked by persons authorized by law to commence such proceedings, and denied the right of the attorney general to act for the public in the matter. He stated that there is no doubt that a bawdy house is a nuisance in itself, and may be abated by any person who shows a special injury not suffered by the public generally"
 Judge Gardner did not agree and cited the authority of the attorney general to act for the public.

CASES PRESENTED BY TOM WATSON
 BEING CONSIDERED
Former Member of Georgia Legislature Makes Sedi- tious Speech at Moultrie
 Attacking Government

Mount Airy, Ga.. August 1S,-Judse Emory Speer of the United States court for the southern district of Georgia took under advfsement today two cases presented in petions last week by Thomas E. Watson of Thomson, Ga one of which was for the post master at Thomson to show cause why Watson's publication, '"The Jefferson- ian" should be withheld from the Uni ted States mails. The other petition on which decision was reserved was a rule issued against the jailer and United States deputy marshal at Au- gusta, Ga, to show cause why two prisoners, charged with having failed to register, and said to be clients of Watson, should not be released from the jail there.
 Watson contended the charges against his publication were brought about to vent the spleen of the aG- ministration toward him." The gov ernments contention, as presented by United States District Attorney Earl M. Donaldson. was that the matter as published in his paper "was seditious and revolutionary" It is probable de- cisions in the cases will be rendered early next week.
