A woman's brain reaches its great

This explains the assertion that a

she was latter found bound and
gagged, and clothes almost torn off.
Miss Cantwell described her assailant
as being a slight built, wearing an
old grey suit with the coat collar
turned up, a soft hat pulled down
over his blue eyes. The man was
identified later by shopkeepers who
had seen him lurking in the neigh
borhood as one Carl Seaton. Two
of Miss Cantwell friends took it upon
themselves to encourage the girl and
set out in search for Seaton and
when he finally pushed open the
door, Keeling out in a drunken
stemper, they bounced upon him.
Seaton had been badly bruised when
the ale house crowd, attracted by the
voice and the scuffling rushed out,

with cries of lynch the niggers.'

No Man On The Moon
Bv Prof. Charles Nordmann.

Paris. Nov. 20. - The announce
ment from the United States that
Professor Pickering of Harvard has
discovered evidences of organic HE
on the moon fills me with surprise.
|. is not possible to detect the pres
ence of small organisms with pres
ent day astronomical instruments.
Researches by the greatest French
scientists prove Their is no atmos-
pher on the moon; therefore. or
ganic life such as we know could
not possibly be supported there.
Until telescope has been invented
which will reveal the most minute
details of the moons surface( it will
be absurd to claim that living beings
exist there, although from a purely
philosophic and imaginative point of
view we may be able to conceive the
existence of organisms entirely diff
ferent from anything known to mum
without air, possibly drawing vital
dane science which could subsist
clements from static electricity or
radiumasic energy present in the in
finite ether.

GEORGIA WHITE MAN
PROTESTS AGAINST
WHIPPING CONVlCTS

ATLANTA, Ga, oNv. 20.-ln the
presentments of the Fulton County
grand jury, recently made public, is
a notation with reference to the
treatment of chain-gang conViets, %
the effect that I'VE are pleased to
learn from the well-kcpt records that
the number of whippings has been
very greatly decreased"
So far as it goes this is encourag-
ing, in that it indicates progress
from custom and a practice that is
inhuman and barbarous.
1t is good that "the number OF
whippings has been very greatly de
creased" but there will still be room
for improvement so long as the me
rest trace of this indcfensible prac-
tice remains in our civilization to
link it with the iniquitous days of
barbarity ana human depravity,
Physical torture never did AMI
never will reform any man, or make
him better man.
The tendency Of it is only to en-
bitter him and make him worse
man and greater menace to So
ciety when he is restored to liberty.
1t is in no sense refotmative, but
only degrading; and, as Robert G.
Ingersoll put it in his great lecture
on Grimes Against Criminals
"there is no reformation in degrade
ton"
Georgia can very well afford to do
some radical reforming in this direc-
ton; and it is to be hoped that the
time is not far distant when grand
juries in every county in the State
can truthfully report that the prac
tice of hogging convicts has been
relegated to the limbo in which it
belongs.

Calling the meeting to order, DR..
Brockett said, Gentlemen, this City,
its property real and personal, public
and private, belongs to the people. In
every community, large and small
there is a certain class or kind OF
property which of necessity Is used
by all of the people in common.
This becomes known as public
roperty-meaning property, when
by will of majority of the people,
is set apart for the use OF all the
people. This common rule touching
public property applies to all COM
munities; the large as well as the
small.
A common rule, the wisdom OF
which has been shown through long
usage. is,-that all public property
becomes the object of the Public Is
care.

WAR CAMP COMMUNITY A RE-
CONSTRUCTION NECESSITY

The work accomplished by the War
Camp Community Service during the
war an its doubled work in this
crisis of the Reconstruction evidence
its continued necessity. The COM
munity has at no time had center
quite so well attended and generally
appreciated as the one now con
Quoted by this service. In its new
and extended work it is the Com
munity Service Incorporated. This
is national organization intended
to take up peace time work where
il was left off by the War Camp
Community Service; it is confined to
no party or creed; it calls upon ev-
eryone without regard to race or
color, to native and foreign born
alike TO cooperate as citizens in the
building up of their community. 1t
does not propose to duplicate the
work of the home of the school, but
to supplement it.
The opportunity for the training
of girls in the fundamental prin-
ciples of right living and in the
amenetics. of live while the COM
munity spirit is being created and
developed is one that has been long
neglected, Participation and sym
pathetic interest by our girls and
parents will accomplish the good
purposes for which the organization
was founded.
