Why Turks Are Confident.

Amid the many menacing periTs that
threaten his thorny throne the new
sultan Of Turkey can find consolation
for all Moslem disasters by contem-
plating the "Shining Stone" In the
mosque of st. Sophia. This is slab
of translucent marble, brought from
Persia, which has been fixed to the
western side Of the gallery. 1t emits
rays of dazzling brilliancy during Pc
RODS of Turkish prosperity or of re-
HgiOus triumphs for Islam, but be-
comes black and opaque, however
cloudless the skies, whenever some
calamity is about to befall the Otto
man empire or the faith. 1t has not
hitherto been darkened during the pres
ent war, though the sultan's armies
have so frequently been defeated and
the power of Islam seemed to suffer
eclipse. Thus the mystic stone, ever
shining, proves to believing Moslems
that, however fate may frown, the real
victory remains with them.

MRS.S.H.HAWKINS.
BELOVED CITIZEN,
DIESAT AGE OF 76.

Mrs. Cordelia Matthews Hawkins,
widow of the late Samuel H. Hawkins,
and one of the most beloved pioneer
women of Southwest Georgia, died
Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the
family home at 339 West College
street, where she had lived for many
years.
Mrs. Hawkins was in her 10th year,
and her death was due largely to the
infirmities of age, the direct cause
being pleurisy. She had not been all
ing long, and her end came rather as
a surprise to many of her acquaint-
ances. Her death was peaceful. She
apparently was conscious that the end
was drawing near, and yesterday af-
ternoon called her numerous grand
children, whom she loved so well,
about her bedside, caressing and say
ing prayer for each.
Mrs. Hawkins life, aside from her
family, which was always her first
care, was given to various forms of
charity. The poor was a great con-
Germ in her life, and from her girl
hood she was noted for the attention
she gave to the negroes in attempting
to alleviate their condition. She was
one of the organizers and was head of
the Americus Benevolent society, the
local charity organization, for many
years until her failing strength com
PEELED her to give up the work She
was also the oldest surviving member
in years of membership of the First
Baptist church, with which she had
been connected since the pastorate
of DR.. George L. Cooper. She was the
last surviving charter member of the
Women's Missionary association of the
church.
The city of Cordele, Georgia, was
named for Mrs. Hawkins by her hus-
band who laid out that city in the
late SOS and built the present Sea-
board line through Americus, then
known as the Savannah, Americus and
Montgomery railroad. During the War
Between the States, in which her hus-
band served for several years, she
showed great fortitude. Instead of
losing hope as great many women
did, she refused to give up, and, in
stead of returning to her parents
home until the war was over, took
charge of her husbands plantation at
Botsford, which she managed until his
return
Mrs. Hawkins was born in Marion
County July 81, 184S. She was mat
ried in 1860 to Mr.. Hawkins, who died
in 1905 after a most active and prom
inent life. To this union were born

Making Tin Plate in Australia.

The supplies of tin plate for Austral-
asia, the value Of which amounts to
over $12,000,000 per year, are drawn
from Great Britain and America; but
recently the lack of shipping and other
difficulties have led to a serious short
age in deliveries. A leading Australian
producer of steel has accordingly ar
ranged to establish tin-plate works
which will eventually supply the whole
of the antipodal demand. Plenty of
tin is available in Australia as well
as the necessary steel. The company
In question, in addition to supplying
steel for Australia, has sent consider
able quantities of munitions steel to
Great Britain and has also opened up
trade with South Africa by supplying
2O,O00O00 tons of steel rails.-Scien-
titic American.

Sandy had not seen his bosom pal,

Sandy. "What's been the matter wi

Soldiers and Sailors Poll
Tax Payment.

A number Of inquiries having
been addressed to the Of
fee of the Attorney General IN
regard to poll tax payment and
voting requirements Of the sol
diers and sailors, be has issued
a construction of the law passed
bv the last session of the legls-
lature which, boiled down, is as
follows:
Soldiers and sailors who are
mustered out after February l,
1919, and those IN service at the
time of the primary elections
NAV vote without having paid
their poll tax,
Those discharged before Feb
ruary /, 1870 will be required to
pay the poll tax in order to vote
III the pTIHdI y.
Whether the applicant to vote
was discharged before or after
the first of February can be set
tied by presenting to the cleo
ton commissioners his papers
showing the date of his dis
charge.
This act, of course. does not
permit the soldier or sailor, who
has not paid his tax, to vote in
the general election, nor does it
permit him to be such quail
fed elector as would be necessa-
ry tor him to hold an Office.
1t is further stated that a sol
der or sailor discharged previ-
GUS to the date of the primary
cannot vote under the Abseht
Voters Law by mailing his bal
lot, out must appear personally
at the polls and vote.
