WILSON s VISIT
To ENGLAND IS
SMASHING CASTE
Presence Of Our Democratic
President Breaking Down
Barriers of Ancient AriS-
tocraCy
t0CraCy

That the divinity that doth hedge
a king is slowly disappearing before
the invading hosts of democracy. is
indicated not only in the betrothal
of the Princess Patricia to a COM
moner but also in the published list
of those whose privilege it was to
attend the banquet given in honor of
President Wilson in Buckingham pal
ace.
Among the guests were severai
minor royalties and members of thu
nobility, foreign ambassadors, gen
erals and admirals to whom the ma
ton owes it's victory, and many
Americans, including Mrs. Wilson $
private secretary. Literature was
represented by Rudyard Kipling, the
author of 1.-The Widow of Windsor.
and art by John S. Sargent. To re.
alize the extent to which the yeast
of democracy has risen and broke-l
down many of the lines Of social
caste we have only to remember thai
when Charles Dickens, then at the
height of his fame, was commanded
to visit Queen Victoria he was not
even invited to sit down but was
compelled to remain standing during
the whole of the brief interview &C,
corded to him by her etiquette-boun,
majesty. Carlyle, who was invite"
in similar fashion, calmly seated him
self, remarking, I'm an old man
your majesty, SO I weel tax cheer
1t is not easy to say how the va
rious elements of the British public
will regard this breaking down of the
old barriers of caste. It is quite
likely that successful financiers, man
ufacturers, business and other men of
affairs will view it with favor. The
peasantry, small farmers and shop
keepers are more conservative, and,
not expecting to mingle with royalty
themselves, do not care to see the
privilege extended to those just above
them in rank.

Womack's Preliminary
Hearing to Be Held at
Fairburn Wednesday

E. ]. Womaclz, held in Jail at Fair
burn, Ca, charged with killing T. w.
Gilmore, his father-in-law, on the
road to Red Oak late Sunday, was
given a preliminary hearing before
Judge Homer Mcdaniel Wednesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. 1t was ex-
pected that the stick with which
Womack is said to have struck the
old man and now in possession of
the sheriff. would be an interesting
exhibit at the hearing.
Friends of Womack say that he
struck in self-defense when Gilmore
advanced toward him with an open
knife The dispute between the two
men is said to have followed remarks
by Gilmore concerning Womacks
family.
Robert Gilmore, who found his IA
Their on the road Sunday night in
dying condition, said that both of the
men had been drinking.

Motors, Pianos, Candy,
Etc., You Must Pay

Uncle Sam will continue to levy
tax on '1uXuries" and, this week.
the senators and representatives in
Washington arrived at an agreement
upon just what luXuries are and how
much their indulgence should be
taxed.
Rates in the house bill on amuse-
ment admissions in excess of 80
cents were adopted by the con-
ferees, the senate managers accept
ing the higher house rate, but reach
ing a compromise for retention of
the senate rate on admissions of 80
cents or less. Under the agreement
the amusement admission tax will
bel cent on each 10 cents paid up
to 80 cents and 2 cents on each dime
paid in excess of 80 cents. ooo,
10 cents paid for admissions to roof
gardens, cabarets and similar es-
adjustments, was adopted, as was
the house rate Of 25 per cent, in
stead of the senate rate of 10 per
cent, on theater boxes.
1t is estimated that about SIS, 000,-
600 in revenue will be secured an
nually from amusement admissions
under the conference agreement.
The house rate of 20 per cent on
club dues, double the tax under ex-
about 100000, also was adopted
by the conferees.
In disposing of the excise or semi
luxury taxes, the conferees agreed
to the senate amendment of 10 per
cent of the amount paid in excess
of fixed standard prices by .pur-
chasers of semi-luxuries, such as
carpets, picture frames, travelling
bags, pocketbooks, umbrellas, fans,
hats, shoes, stockings and other ar
ticles.
The luxury rate provides 5 per
cent taxes on manufacturers sales
of motor vehicles, tires and Access
series, pianos, talking machines,
candy and similar articles, 10 per
yachts and motorboats and per
cent on chewing gum and toilet
soaps.
taxes were tentative and those on
some others were left open for fur
TO dispose of the miscellaneous
and minor taxes in the bill the con-
ferees temporarily passed over the
war excess profits and other import
ant and controverted sections.

Few Cents DESTROYS
Your Dandruff and
Stops Falling Hair
Save your hair! Make it thick,
wavy and beautiful
try this!

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of neglected
scalp: of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing SO destructive TO
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the
hair of it's 1ustre, it's strength and
its very life; eventually producing
feverishness and itching of the scalp,
which if not remedied causes the
hair roots to shrink, loosen and die
then the hair falls out fast. A lit
tie Danderine tonight-now-any
time-will surely save your hair.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first APP
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which is
so beautiful. 1t will become wavy
and fluffy and have the appearance
of abundance, an incompatible gloss
and softness; but what will please
you most will be after just a few
weeks use, when you will actually
see lot of fine, downy hair-new
hair-growing all over the scalp.

An Atlanta professor, who put
aside text books to take part in
the great adventure of war, has
been decorated for conspicuous
bravery.
For carrying wounded to safety
over roads that were continually
under bombardment, without regard
for the danger it entailed, Sergeant
Richard r. Kirk, former professor
of English at the Georgia School
of Technology, has been awarded a
croix de guerre bearing a silver star
by the French government.
Professor Kirk resigned his po-
sition at Tech in June, 1917, to join
a French ambulance corps. The
news of his decoration has been re-
ceived in a letter to his niece, Miss
Mary DuSenbury, of 81 Columbia
Sergeant Kirk is cited by the

armies of the, north and northeast,

ried wounded to safety over roads

EVIL HOUSES, GAMBLING DENS,
DOPE SELLERS, IN HUGE TRUST

Growth of the drug evil in Lon
don has resulted in the organization
of commercialized vice as compactly
and thoroughly as any great bust
ness.
A half dozen vicious interests
each organized within itself, are
linked together under a general di-
rection not unlike the trusts of the
regular business world.
These interests are:
House agencies which deal only
in flats and houses for the women
of the underworld. .
Gambling heIls, which are linked
under one management and fnan-
ced by the same group.
Night clubs, which are but re-
cruiting places for the world of
vice.
Drug dealers who secure supplies
from legitimate houses through cor
rupt employees and distribute them
through runners to the underworld.
Tea shops which are opened to
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1919-01-17

reach women and introduce them
to an evil life.
Beauty shops which are but a
mask for the traffic in drugs.
The operation of all these ave-
nues to vice is interlinked, and the
higher-ups so guarded that to reach
and strike at the head of the evil is
a huge task.
Runners and other of the lesser
employees of the system are engaged
with the understanding that, if
caught, they will "take their medi-
cine" without squealing.
Each group knows only the group
directly over it, which, in turn. is
pledged to shield the next higher
link in the chain of vice. Thus, if
one turns traitor, there are still
closed doors between the authorities
and the chiefs of evil.
The profits on Illicit sale of drugs
are enormous. A packet of cocaine
worth a half a crown (about so
cents) can be divided up and sold in
little cigaret paper packages for
pound each, eight times the pur-
chase price of the whole.
Lowering of the barriers that di-
vided the people of the underworld
from the so-called bohemian" class
of artists, actresses and others has
fastened the spread of evil.
