THE VIOLET

In cool shady nook by the side of
a stream
A dainty violet-green
Blossomed and budded each spring
time
In her dress of violet hue.
When winter came with her ice and
SNOW
And all the flowers died,
Miss Violet with her purple eye
Meath snowy bed did hide.
But when the happy spring returned
With skies of spring time blue
Miss Violet peeped from meath the
ground
Twas happy spring, she knew.

ing that j. ]. Flynt, chairman of the
state Democratic executive commit
te, has publicly stated that he will
not call meeting of the committee
in order to pass upon the qualifica-
tions of women to vote in the primary
of September 8, following the rati-
fication of the Nineteenth amend
ment to the constitution, and that
some step is necessary in order to
prevent horrible confusion" Fer
mer Barrett, by virtue of his posi-
ton, as chairman of the sub-commit-
tee, has called meeting of that body
for Atlanta, September 3, to be held
in the Kimball house at 8 o'clock at
night.
The statement of Mr.. Barrett fol-
lows:
"The state Democratic executive
committee should meet on Friday
night at the Kimball house, Atlanta,
Ca, and promulgate rules to govern
the primary of September s so that
horrible confusion may be avoided.
Conformity throughout the state
is an absolute necessity. The party
authorities of the state have the
right to settle the question at issue.
"Since it is stated in the public
press that the chairman of the state
Democratic executive committee re-
fuses to call together the commit
tee to provide new rules and regu-
lations for the qualification of cleo
tors for the primary of September
8 in accordance with the ratifica-
ton of the Nineteenth amendment
to the federal constitution, I, as
chairman of the subcommittee, here
by call the subcommittee of the state
Democratic executive committee to
meet at the Kimball house on the
date named.
"The committee is composed as
follows: J. J. Flynt, exofficiOn.
Griffin, Ga; Hiram L. Gardner, ex-
officio, Eastman, Ga; Fermor Bar
rett, Toccoa, Ga; Miller S. Bell,
Milledgeville, Ga; H. H. Elders,
Reidsville, Ga; J. H. Miller, East
man, Ga. I hope a majority of the
state committee may take jurisdic-
ton. I am wiring each member of
the subcommittee of the state Demo-
cratic executive committee to meet
at the Kimball house, Atlanta, Ca,
at 8 M, Friday, September 8,

IN COX'S PROMISE.

CHICAGO Sept. George White

al committee, first witness today,
told the senate campaign fund inves-
tigating committee he had no evil
dence to sustain any one of the char
ges brought by Governor Cox as to
Republican campaign funds, or quo
tas, or the alleged desire of contrib
utors Ito have back of them in in
dustrial centers the bayonets of their
puppets in office" He told the COM
mittee he believed the charges to be
true because he had confidence in
Governor Cox. He said in a brief talk
with the nominee, Governor Cox said
he was sure of his ground, but details
were not discussed
Chairman Kenyon asked if White
did not consider it "the duty of the
men who have this evidence, if it ex-
lists to give it to us, whether they are
presidential candidates or not" When
the witness did not reply the chair
man said he would not press it out
of respect to Whites relations with
Governor Cox.
