WOMEN AND THE POLITICAL SITUATION

-(Ahce Louise Lyle in Columbia SentineN. This
was crucial year for women, in politics: thew
were TO do some things that had long remained I'M
uohe and they were to undo some other things that
were to be attended to in that way
But the returns, far are very Disappointing.
In my travels of the past three weeks met MANY
very fine women; some of them were like myself
bread-wnners in search of health; thew had NOT
intended to talk shop any more than had, but it
was inevitable that we exchange few bits of fem
nlne gossip and conditions of the respective bail
lwlcks represented
FOR general agsrcsNeness think the women OF
New England States are leaders: in self-oninion
mad to shake, the political women from Northern
New YORK lead, but the two classes combined rare
agreed on the same plan for the general recon
struction of political conditions.

CORRECTING SOME OTHER FELLOWS

LIES-ln the issue OF Tuesdays Herald, the state
nent was made edtorially, that a caucus was held
in office by Judge Crum and some of his sup
oorers, Saturday night. If such caucus had been
held and if we had the pleasure to attend there
would have been no wrong committed and we
would not attempt to deny it. Such caucus would
be i'll wise reflection on any one Judge Crum
any of his friends. But since there is absolutely
no truth i'll he statement made by the Herald we
take this occasion to say, that the writer is an I'M
qualified her, if he states it as being his own OBJ
servation or if he was so informed by some other
party, that other party lied. Judge Crum was in
office for about fifteen minutes, paying for
some circulars printed for him Saturday and four
citizens into the office during those few min
utes III quest of copies of the same circular which
supplied.
With the exception of greetings, no conversation
was held between those parties and Judge Crum
during presence.
Judge Crum needs no defense at our hands-the
officials OF the A. B. & A., are doing that for him
they endorsing the Judges character and if his
services attorney for the Road satisfied them,
no one else has kick coming. We do know that
during the two years that Judge Crum served as
Judge OF the Superior Court he appeared to have
been satisfactory to everyone except few attorn-
eys, who could not control him. With their as
sistance and goodly supply of money furnished
by some mysterious source they succeeded in car
rying this county for Cover, defeating Judge
Crum. This is well known here From good au-
thority we have it, that as an advance payment, a
good size check has been received from the same
source to influence the local voters, This time if
Will not work so well. Judge Crums friends will

HENRY FORD ON SENIORITY

HENRY FORD ON "SENIORITY"-At this

all their rights; ii they returned to work they
should return as new employees Managers said
IT was not fair to discharge or supersede men who
had come III to help in an emergency. The strik
ers, on their side said they would never return m
til the rule OF seniority was restored giving all the
strikers all OF their previous rights Each side
stood stubborny for its respective contention ,,n

strike, leaving the matter of seniority in allowance

RADIO DEVELOPMENT
IN FITZGERALR

MI. OlVue 1uSSey is still patiently
experimenting with his radio set.
though the new battery and horn did
Aot directly improve the partial sue
cess he had already attaied last week.
The programs come in alright and very
distinctly at times but not at will.
There is still that element of hit and
miss, in common parlance, which is
yet to be overcome.
Mrs. Ed Hussey says that the radio
bug has got her too and has como out

Fitzgerald's radio pioneer.
In spite of criticism,
Has concerts heard from far an near.
And many come to listen.
They told us that between our place
And good Atlanta town,
Conditions atmospheric
Would all the sound waves drown.
But tuning in" on Atlanta
Quite early in the game
Caught various entertainments,
Too numerous to name.

You'll soon be fast asleep.

We listen to them frequently,

To the weekly sermons we have heard

While men who read the stock repors
Keep believing for more.
