of the city and the greatest good to the greatest
number, this would have to be put up with.
lust as track elevation or any other great I'M
provement naturally Injuries some but benefits
the whole.
The fact remains, however, that when the
coming is done it ought to be done by experts
who have spent a long time studying the con-
ditions and the general trend of affairs. The
City Plan Commission might well hesitate in
an attempt to zone the whole city without this
expert advice. We do not know what the COM
mission has done with the $4,000 appropriated
for city planning, but this sum would at least
make a start in the right direction. Future
appropriations might be depended upon to carry
on the work.
City coming is an important part OF city
planning and it must all go along together.
The problem is far too great for ordinary citi-
zens, who have their private business to attend
to. to devote the necessary time to 1t. The
commission made up Of citizens is intended
merely to supervise and approve or reject such
plans as the expert planner puts up to them.
The sooner the City Plan Commission gets one
of these experienced engineers at work on the
task of city planning the better. Let US not
forget that it was only after the water board
secured an expert to plan for the water supply
of the city that a comprehensive plan capable
of supplying the city with water for the next
fifty years was adopted. Today our water
problem seems solved.
We cannot expect to do for the whole city,
with its many diversified problems. what 1t was
impossible to do for only one branch OF
municipal government.
Governor Small of Illinois pleads that the
king can DO no wrong" and defies the state

japan doesn't care whether there's an open

Now that the American PLAN hotel is

BUSINESS SCOPE
Nearer at Hand
BY DR.. W. e. BARTON

The Good Samaritan had business
in Jerusalem, and that business may
have been urgent. Other people
who had gone ahead of him, the
priest and the Levite, thought it
was none Of their business hat q
man who had been robt l lay beside
the road, dying for lack of attention.
The man who had thought his bust
ness was in Jerusalem sudde~h
found that he had business nesaD
at hand.
Whatever affects, for good or i'll,
a man whom 1 can help or hinder,
suddenly becomes a part Of my bust
ness.

YEARS TO SERVE.

PLAINS, Ga.-Sam D. Clark, an
escaped convict from Troup county,
who was arrested here by Marshal J..
&c. Arlington, was carried back to
Lagrange by Sheriff Carley. Clark,
who admits he has a 45-year sentence

his way out OF Jail at Lagrange after
being sentenced to serve a year for
auto stealing.
After leaving the jail Clark stole an
other car at West Point, which was
nj his possession when he was arrest
ed. At Plains he proposed to trade a
spare tire for gas and oil at the Bacon
gas filling station. Marshal Arlington
came up about that time and noticed
C1ark's car bore a dealers tag. When
he began questioning Clark, who in
sisted that his answers be verified by
calling over long distance phone. Clark
ran. Plains citizens quickly surround
ed him, and soon after being arrested
he admitted his identity and told all
about himself. Arlington was paid a
SIS reward for making the arrest.

VERY SAD STORY OF
MISPLACED CONFIDENC
SMOOTH STRANGER DEPARTS
WITH $500 AND CUTHBERT-
TIES ARE STILL THIRSTY.

The Leader doesn't vouch Tor the
truth of the following story, but it is
being generally circulated on the
streets of Cuthbert and certain citizens
are being twitted with being easy
marks" This is the way the Leader
heard it:
A stranger Of good appearance was
seen on the streets OF Cuthbert last
week. By the exercise of sort OF
.freemasonry that exists among kindred
spirits he was soon in touch with sew
eral who are able to crafty their crav-
ing for liquids possessing kick even
when they bring war prices. To them
he stated that he had succeeded IN
securing a considerable quantity OF
wet goods OF noted brands and ancient
vintage which was being transported
Ito Cuthbert in an auto due to arrive
in a few hours. 1t was a rare oppOr-
tunity to secure a supply OF something
that satihes without hazarding blind
ness, insanity or sudden death Said
thirsty citizens fell for it-hard. One
lis said to have contracted for two
hundred dollars worth, another one
hundred and fifty dollars worth, and
others for smaller amounts, the aggre-
gate being over $500. In every in
stance cash in advance or cashier S
check was required.
Shortly before the stipulated time
for the arrival of the JOY truck the
news passed around that the machine
had broken down on the way, but the
damage would soon be repaired.
In the meantime the smooth stran-
ger hired an auto and went to She'll
man, saying he was bound for Cam1l-
La via Albany. That is the last that
has been seen or heard OF him. Meth
cr has there been any tidings regard
ing the alleged booze car.
P. S.-Inquiries showed that the
stranger had received from the banks
money for the cashiers checks.

prison, but through the influence OF
Mr.. Seward. his fathers old-time
friend, he was finally paroled, and |
have been told he was the hrst Con-
federate soldier paroled.
The end came, and with 1t the re-
newed correspondence OF the old
friends. Mr.. Seward having been re-
tanned in office by Mr.. Johnson. Mr..
Ward was man OF more than aver
age ability, was a great reader and
student of affairs; really he was a
statesman.
About this time Alaska was attract
ing some attention, and Mr.. Ward
thought that the United States should
own it, and wrote to Mr.. Seward some
time about the latter part OF 1865 or
early in 1866 to that effect, calling his
attention to the nearness to our coun-
try and putting up strong argument
TO back up his suggestion.
We all know the results, as Mr..
Seward bought Alaska in 1867 Tor the
sum of 100000 and was severely
criticised by many for so doing.
The results have greatly proven the
sagacity and wisdom OF Mr.. Ward in
making his suggestion and OF Mr..
Seward in carrying it out, as many
millions of gold have been taken from
her hills and rivers, and some OF the
richest copper mines of the world are
there, with vast possibilities in many
other ways that have never been
touched. And speaking Of copper
mines, one of the richest in Alaska
was owned by Tom Ward, a grand
son OF the man who first suggested
the purchase of Alaska, and Tom lost
his life there last year in a severe
snow storm just as he was getting
ready to work his mine.
Such is the irony OF fate, that goes
so far towards making life the great
mystery it is.
The correspondence to prove all |
have written was intact and could
have been produced few years ago,
but unfortunately was destroyed by
fire with lot OF other valuable rec
ords. If the things | have written are
true, and they undoubtedly are, every
word, then a Georgian is responsible
for the purchase of Alaska, which has
meant much and may mean a great
deal more to our country.
Life is a wonderful study, look at
is as you may.

tv bill, under which approximately
$6,O00,000 will be spent in maternity
aid in the various states. The vote
was 279 to 80.
Women, who had been watching
progress of the bill from the galleries,
Iapp1auded. Opposition was voiced
Ichiefy on the ground that it would
infringe on states rights. Miss Alice
NJ. Robertson, republican, Oklahoma,
the only woman member OF the house,
urged defeat of the bill Its passage
was advocated by Representative Mon
dell, the republican leader.

and an additional $4,000 provided the
state contributes like amount. The
balance of the annual fund would be
distributed among states, according to
population with each state required to
Imatch the federal contribution.
Hits Club Women.
Miss Robertson took a fling at club
women. who, she said, sit at ease in
comfortable homes worrying about
other peoples children and get thrill
over tea cups by passing resolutions
designed to bring about new order
in governmental affairs.
She declared the bill would inter
fere with effective work being done
by individuals and by state, municipal
and private agencies.
I'm not a mother" she said, but
God has given me a mothers heart

Decision as to whether specific in

suggested that pickets should have the
right of observation, communication

The opinion of the court, which was
