pUPILS Of Miss Bells music classes
acquitted themselves admirably
last evening in their rendering of
the varied numbers on the lengthy
program given at the recital heard
at the studio before a large and APP
preciative audience.
Building operations were begun
yesterday on a large addition to be
made to the Harold compartment
warehouse, fronting on Hampton
street. Already there are seven spa
cious compartments in this large
structure, occupying the greater por
ton Of the block, and there is a de-
mand for others.
Under most favorable and encour-
aging circumstances the cooking
school that is being conducted at the
Armory Hall by the ladies of the Hos
pital association opened on yester-
day the series of lessons that are to
continue all the week under the di-
rection of Mrs. C. F. Harris, culinary
expert.
Americas warehouses have just
passed the $4,000 bale mark in cot
ton receipts with indications excel
lent for total of more than 49,
600 bales long before the arrival of
Chlistmas-tide, or the close of the
current year.
Americas sportsmen are up against
it on the wild duck proposition, as
under a ruling just made these
"quacks" are protected under
the state game law and cannot be
killed.
A pleasant event for the week will
be the recital to be given at Miss
Bells studio on Thursday evening by
Miss Annie Laurie Norton, who for
some time past has been giving in
| struction in expression here.
Will Dudley has broken into the
ranks motorial and now holds the
steering wheel in handsome Stod-
| dard-Baker car.

There were many regrets express
ed that the delayed train from AL
bany on Wednesday afternoon pre-
vented the Railroad Commissioners
being entertained, for carriages were
in waiting at the S. A. M. station
to drive the distinguished guests over
the city.
Master c.. w Fielder, the little son
of Mayor Fielder, had the misfortune
to have his arm broken on Wednes-
day. The fracture is a simple one,
and the bone promises to knit to-
gether nicely.
A called meeting of the board of
aldermen ard the county, commits
sioners was fixed for o'clock yester-
day afternoon. The object of the
meeting was the purchase by the
county of narrow strip of property
l0X140 feet between the court house
and the city hall. After a short
discussion the city agreed to dispose
of the property for a money consid-
Grafton of $3.50.
On Thursday, the Goth, the annual
Thanksgiving will be observed with
religious services and otherwise.
Several large parties of mighty nim-
rods have been formed to go in quest
Of the feathered trophies and the
festive Mollie cotton-tail. 1t is urged
that the stores close and give the
clerks an opportunity of taking an
airing in the fields.
In four days Americas will be the
scene of a brilliant fair for the bene,
T, fit of the Americas Light Infantry,
the crack company of Georgia. The
| proceeds promise to be large and
credit will be due to the ladies who
have so kindly and earnestly gone to
work to crown this event with that
measure of success that it merits.

THE OTHER FELLOWS CORN
PROBLEM.

WHILE we are bemoaning AS cent
w corn in Dixie, the other fellow,
out in the corn belt, where winters
are long and cold, has his troubles,
too. In the Middle West corn is
quoted locally at II cents bushel,
and little can be sold even for that.
And so the problem of burning corn
for fuel this winter or of getting
ready cash from the years chief
crop, has become an all-absorbing
one.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
has courage, if not discretion, com
ments Farm Life. He sends out
public statement in which he advises
the burning of corn for fuel in sec
tons where "corn is very cheap, and
a rather poor grade of coal is sell
ing at high prices" He declares that
'under such conditions it will pay
both farmers and people in country
towns to use corn instead of coal"
In the table of fuel values which he
sends out, corn at 10 cents a bushel
is equal to coal at S. ton; corn at
20 cents equals coal at $40, and corn
at 80 cents equals coal at $15. It
is something Of mental shock to
consider burning corn, suggests the
paper Secretary Mohler. of the Kan
sas State Board of Agriculture con-
siders Mr. Wallace's statement Gun
fortunate" and doubts if corn will
be burnt to any extent in Kansas.
We recall that corn burning stories
were told rather frequently last year,
but an investigation by Farm Life
showed that in practically all in
stances the burning was done across
the state line" or else "over in an
other county" It's notion is that
not much corn of marketable grade
will be burned.

CHAPTER XXI
CISSY PLEADS FOR MY LOVE.


WAS Cissy a flatterer? l had
" heard so. I tride to interrupt
his monolog several times but he
would not have it so. His next APP
peal was one to intrigue the heart
Of any romantic maid:
"May! l need you so! l haven't
been able to say that l love you be-
cause I've said that to several girls.
But l must say what l have not said
seriously to any other: | want to take
care of you. You need somebody.
And Pm perfectly selfish. l need
you. And, believe me, if you trust
me, will be true"
'I'm so sorry-so sorry-Cyrus,
except by repeating that I'm not
ready for love-or marriage"
''If you are-when you are-you'll
let me take chance?"
you may" l spoke sincerely.
Meanwhile, let's be good palsp'
That's settled' But Cissy looked
so doleful l simply had to change
the subject:
"You were a peach, last night,
Cissy. Motherdear and | haven't
words to tell you how grateful to
you we are!"
Right then | remembered that |
hadn't given Cissy sufficient credit
for his share in rescuing me from
the abductors. l thought only Of
Dicks response to the call of the
meadow lark. And somehow | felt
that didn't need a husband to pro
tect me as long as Dick was in the
company That might be for years.
Whether the hero or the bad man.
would be made the next star, had be-
come the bet Of the week. Cissy had
done wonderful work opposite me-
He was superb, and | could see for
myself that we wouldn't be per-
mitted to play together much longer.
| was sorry because Cissy had learn
ed to do the most trying love scenes
without upsetting my nerves. He
now kept his intensity for real life.
And he was so perfectly handsome
that any unattached girl would have
been delighted to think him hopeless
y In love with her own sweet self
Dick Barnes had made big hit
with the powers from the first.
He had had one play with Hutche-
son Coleridge in which he took the
honors away from the star!
Dicks work was so fine that the
directors had to cut out lot of per-
fectly stunning celluloid. Coleridge
insisted. He is an Englishman and
very good sport, too, and he adj
nitted that Dicks work was corking,
out business is business and he was
tar and he wasn't going to stand for
reels in which the villain did better
work than the hero.
Dick gained by every frame that
was cut. And so the bets as to who
would be the next star were increas-
ing in his favor.
One worry continued to harrass
me; Villains can't very well have
3tellaL roles and l didn't see how Dick
could play anything else.
He was polished, suave, exquisite.
He could deceive the most exclu-
sive and discriminating heroines,
whether sweethearts or wives, into
he most startling and unnecessary
lndiscretions. How he could con-
vince an audience that Mephistopheles

AS OTHERS SEE TOM.

ONE by one the more courageous
and MISUNDERSTANDING news
papers of Georgia-not all to be
sure, but an increasing number -
are tumbling to the gravity of the
charges made in the senate by Geor-
gia's junior senator and, noting that
he has not made good his boosted
proof, and common sense telling
them that he cannot and will not
make them good, are coming forward
with expressions similar to those pub
lished in this column ON the subject
some days ago. More and more it
is becoming realized that Georgia is
becoming Infamous through this rep
resentative sent by her to the United
States senate, and that serious steps
must be taken to offset it unless
Georgia is to suffer irretrievably as
a result.
The remainder Of the country,
those people who do not know Geor-
gia as WE know it and as it REALLY
lie, is forming a very poor opinion
of our people and our state as a re-
suit of an unfortunate series of
events, starting with the Leo Frank
lynching, running through other re-
grettable events that caught the ma
tional eye, including Governor Dor
sey's racial charges, the Williams
murder farm expose and the Ku KluX
Khan revelations, capped by the Wat
son outburst of responsibility as the
climax.
This is not intended as a new ex-
coriation of the senator, who per-
sists in his charges and statements
that he has the proof, but still fails
to submit his proof, after declaiming
that he would make his case only
before the people, and not before
an investigating committee. This is
intended to show something of the
feeling outside of Georgia. And in
this connection an expression appear
ing in the current number of the
Army and Navy Journal will be of
interest. 1t matters not if it may
be partisan; the organ has wide cir
culation and reflects important and
substantial opinion, whether we like
it and approve it or not. So that
we may know what is being said out
side. of Georgia this is being repro
duced. Says the Journal:
Senator Watson of Georgia, be-
fore the senate of the United
States, in speaking of the A E.
F., has made the extremely Sc
rious charge 'that a private sol
der was frequently shot by his
officers because of some complaint
against the officers insolence, and
that they had gallows upon which
men were hanged, day after day,
without court-martial or any other
form of trial"
If such charge had been made
by some private citizen, even
though he might have been a SOL
der in the A. L. F., the average
person would havD dismissed it
with the thought that they had
merely come in contact with one
more of those men whom war un-
settles or whose desire to notoriety
leads them to tell tales which are
absurd on their face. When a
United States senator makes such
a charge before SO important and
dignified body as the senate, he
h compels attention. This is so true
# that such charges made in such a
y manner cannot be ignored.
This, apparently, is the point of

"LIEE'S OCEAN"
(By 0. V. Myers, Huntington, Ga

(By o. v Myers, Huntington, Ga.)
ON Life's Ocean, adventurers sail
In ships of every kind
Some move with shout, some with wall,
Some lead, some lag behind.
On one is a captain with real pluck;
With eyes turned toward his goal,
Not willing to trust his ship to luck;
He resolves in his soul.
That storms may come and the winds may blow
But under his control;
Is a ship he will compel to go,
Till it has reached the goal.
Some day this man of courage and power;
With Lies banner unfurled,
VIII prove himself the Man of the Hour;
A figure in the world.
And after his active life is Ger;
A blessing still he'll be-
His life like a lighthouse tn the shore,
viii guide posterity.
But. look In this same Ocean of Life,
Ships of another make,
Struggle on manfully in the strife;
But high goals cannot make.
For the captains vision is not clear,
He has unsteady eye.
He only steers towards goals that are near,
When his aim should be high.
When his frai ship colides with wave;
He cannot stand the test.
In Ocean Of Life he finds a grave
And there he takes his rest.
Look carefully now, to the kind of ship,
That you build for the fray
Be sure that it can make all the trip,
To your dreams of Someday.
For the kind Of ship that you sail in;
While engaged in the strife;
Shows whether you are a man among men,
Or weakling in life.
