Georgia's Furiously Funny
Anti Tipping Law.

Georgia has a perfectly good anti-tlpplng
low II was conceived in patriotism and or
binary common sense and enacted into law
bv the state legislature in perfect good faltn.
Nobody pays the slightest attentlon TO IT,
So far as its effect upon the tipping null
sance in Georgia is concerned it might as
we'll have been written into the laws of He'd
iaz-wherever and whatever and why that
is.
The truth of the matter is the reason no
hotel, restaurant, club or public place pays
anv attention to the law is because there IS
little or no public sentiment behind it; that
is. there is no aggressive, assembled and de-
termined public sentiment behind it:
The general public doubtless would be on,
~ too glad to get rid OF the tipping evil II
it could. But so far it has not been able to
see its way clear.
So universal has the tipping custom be-
come that the business has been reduced to
orderly statistical array by authorities, and
one may consider the problem from broad
and comprehensive point of view.
The United States Monthly Labor Review
presents some interesting and significant fig
ures in this matter which are well worth
thinking upon. In the large cities walters
get an average of S2.28 day in tips. Wash
ington gives them S3.67 a day; New York
$50 and Indianapolis $1.16. The average
for hotel porters is $3.50 day. Pittsburg
heads the list with $3.50 day, but the aver
age in indianapolis is only 10 cents. Bell
boys are given an average of $2.16 day
and the luckless chambermaids receive an
average of only Az cents, 88 cents in New
Orleans and II cents in Omaha.
These are Illuminating figures; they tell
a rather startling story of the widespread
ramifications of the tipping evil.
And what is the general public going to do
about it?
Apparently, nothing.
Georgia has a fine anti-tipping law, that
other states might copy-if said states wish
to have something more or less new to tickle
them and make them laugh.

The Negro Year Book.
From the Macon News.

The Negro Year Book for 1918-1919, the
fifth annual edition, edited by Monroe N.
Work, director of the department of rec
ords at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial In
stitute, which has just been received, is full
of interesting information on the past prog
ress and present status of the negro.
Among the interesting facts disclosed we
find that there are more crimes among ne
groes in the north than in the south, in pro-
portion to negro population.
Figures are quoted from the last census,
showing that the negro is going into agri-
culture in ratio that is higher than the in
crease of negro population. 1t is hoped 1920
will show further increase.
The record of lynching presents a situa-
ton which is to be regretted, and which will
materially improve when the leaders of the
negro race themselves do their full part.
But it is not apparent just what useful
purpose can be served by quoting the mis-
cegenation laws of the various states, to-
gether with the recommendation of a GER
tain Charles B. Davenport, director of eu-
genics, that in legislating on this subject
eve must forget skin color and that where
there is only "one-eighth part negro blood"
the intermarriage of the races should be
regulated merely by a certificate from ''the
states eugenics board"

Wiping Out Grievances.
From the Moultrie Observer.

Editor Pat Griffin, of the cambridge Post
Searchlight, says he enters the New Year
without any grievances Editor Griffin is a
hard hitter and doubtless has his share of the
scraps, but if he knows how to forgive and
forget and pass on to the next thing he is
highly accomplished in one respect.
There is nothing that does so much to keep
a man fresh and fit and happy as to be able
men, women and children. They will come
this year Just as they came last year. You
cannot keep them away, and we do not ad-
wise that you keep them away. 1t is we'll that
you should have manhood to resist, that you
stand by your convictions, and have moral
courage to speak out. You are bound to rub
some one the wrong way, and they will pass
your dead line often, but the best you can
do for YOUR own self is to let each day set
tie it's own troubles. Do not carry them over
until tomorrow. 1t is just as bad that you
have grievance germs in you as it is to have
malaria They will multiply, and they may
eventually run into something worse. Get
them right out.
1t may be that there are many that you
have cause for carrying grievances against
They are deserving of the worst, probably,
and entirely unworthy of your forgiveness
and good will 1t is not so much on their
account that you must forgive and forget. 1t
is on your own account. 1t is on account OF
YOUR loved ones and best friends. You can
not be your best self when you are loaded
up to the muzzle with grievances against
some unworthy and misunderstanding scamp
1t is good to have a thorough cleaning,
getting all this stuff out once day.
