HOUSEWIVES
ARE HAVING TROUBLES

Brunswick, Ga, August 28.-With
great shortage of ice still prevailing
in Brunswick, and no gas with which
to cook, the average Brunswick
housewife is having her real trouble
at present The situation is really be-
coming serious.
The trouble at the ice plant is the
simple explanation that the plant is
running night and day on full capacity
and the demand cannot be supplied.
No relief is promised until new ice
plant is erected, and this will hardly
be ready for operation before next
spring.
At the gas plant fuel trouble is be-
ing experienced. Almost every day it
is necessary to entirly cut off the gas
supply for three or four hours, and
it happens that it is always about
meals time, and the hous who
depends entirely on gas for cooking
Is in bad way. An improvement.
however, is expected, as soon as a
new shipment of coal is received by
the company

Talbotton, Ca, August 28.- (peciaD
William j. Harris, candidate for
United States senator, spoke here
today.
Following his criticism of Mr. Hard
wick's record of opposition to the
administration, Mr.. Harris in his
address here which was most cordially
received, declared that Congressman
Howard was no longer in the race, so
far as votes are concerned.
Nh. Harris told of his own service
in behalf of Georgians while at the
head of the census bureau and on the
federal trade commission. He said
there was no question now that the
greater part of the loyal people of
the state are back of him in this fight
because they are supporting the adj
ministration of President Wilson in
his effort to bring a speedy and sue
cessful termination t. ihe war. At
the conclusion of his address Mr. Har.
MS was given many assurances OF
support.

.sTIIRoWING OFF"

ANY student OF economy or of So
cial righteousness will be struck BY
the. inconsistency OF the ordinary
methods of undertaking civic recu-
ficatlon. There is entirely too much
of the "move on" method OF treat
ing undesirables. when a cleanup
campaign is started, the usual first
step is 10 serve notice upon those
who would come under the heavy
hand of the Jaw that they must leave
town. We seem to have an idea
that this is merciful. and a convic-
ton that 1t is the cheapest route to
the desired end.
We may succeed this way In Inn
proving the moral tone OF a com
munity, but we are profiting at the
expense OF other communities Every

persuade to "move on" Is foisted for

Experiments so far made with
woman suffrage show that the time
honored claim OF the great things
that women would do at the polls Ia
an empty dream. The women may
get accustomed to voting. but they
will be divided in effort just like
the men, and as for women running
Tor office. they must rely more on
the votes OF the men than those OF
their own sex for political prefer
ment. That there will be anything
like a concerted and organized effort
OF the women TO accomplish certain
reforms Is proven to be an idle
dream.
