MASON ATTACKS
RELICIOUSPLANK
Atlanta Preacher Strongly De-
nounces Politicians Who
Bring In Religion To Win

ATLANTA, Oct. 6.-At a meet
ing of the Atlanta Masonic club, DR..
William Terrence Stuchell, pastor of
the Central Congregational church
and president of the Masonic club
denounced strongly men who run
for office on platforms embracing re-
ligious and sectional prejudice" He
said, ANY man who runs for office
on a platform that denounces any
religious sect is unworthy of any
office in the gift of the American
people, and any one who for poll
teal reasons attempts to stir old
prejudices and array the South
against the North is guilty of treason
against the United States of America.
"Sectarianism, sectionalism, mar
rowness and ignorance are enemies
of liberty, the ideal of America. Too
many men are so busy making liv-
ing that they lose a life. Position
and the pursuit of pleasure devitalize
life"
He also raped the soldiers bonus
bill passed by congress and voted
for measure that they knew the
president would not approve, thus
gaining former soldiers votes at no
expense to the government.
1--WE need organization to dis
tinguish that which is worth while
from that which is cheap and arti-
fetal" he continued. 1--WE need or
CARNATIONS that will study men in
public life to determine whether they
make appeals to sectarian or Sec
tional prcjudiccs and approve bills
which they know will not pass, to
gain votes, disregarding the national
welfare.
sit is the duty of such organiza-
tons as this, comprising the most
intelligent citizens and with high
ideals e service, to mold public opin-
ion to higher ideals and to oppose
prejudices arising from the ignor-
ance of the masses"

DROUGHT COVERS
WHOLE COUNTRY.
Forest Fires Are Causing Untold
Damage In Northern And
Western States

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-(By the
Associated Press.) THE weather
elements just are not acting right.
That is the only explanation the u.
S. Weather Bureau can make for
the protracted drought that covers
a large part of the country.
Meteorologically speaking the
winds and the barometric pressures
are acting contrary to nature. The
air is sluggish and there is little
movement, consequently the moist
ure-bearing air cannot journey
over the country.
Except California and the north
ern Pacific coast, Florida and the
east gulf coast, there have been few
areas where any rain to speak of has
fallen for four or five weeks. There
is a Glow" extending from Wash
ington, D.. c., to south Of Knoxville,
Tenn, which is hardly moving and
which forms moisture bearing winds.
When that moves away, the weather
bureau says, there will be some
change for the wetter.
Although the present dry spell is
making somewhat of good record
for territory covered and length of
time, agriculturists and meterologists
declare it has been marked by an ex-
ceedingly small amount of corn dam
age.
The preceding warm weeks rapidly
matured corn and other crops, cotton
and truck stuff, and the harvest gen
orally is practically over. Some lit
tie damage may result to late corn,
it was said, but this probably will not
be extensive. The main trouble, from
the farmers point of view, is that
winter wheat is being retarded by in
ability to get the ground in condition

While in Gastonia the other day, Mr..

lnent:
"When | started taking Tanlac |

malarial fever, which left me in
mighty bad shape. My stomach was
so out of gear that nothing agreed

and nervousness has left me entirely.

MArER TRANSPORTATION.

President Theodore Roosevelt in
appointing the inland waterways COM
mission in 1907, said:
1T is common knowledge that the
railroads of the United States are no
longer able to move crops and manu-
features rapidly enough to secure the
prompt transaction of the business of
the nation, and there is small pros
pect of immediate relief.
Representative railroad men point
out that the products of the northern
interior states have doubled in ten
years, while the railroad facilities
have increased but one-eighth, and
there is reason to doubt whether any
IN the near future will suffice to keep
transportation abreast of production.
There appears to be but one COM
plete remedy-the development of a
Complementary system. of transporta-
ton by water. The present congestion
affects chiefly the people of the Mis-
sissippi valley. and they demand re-
lief. When the congestion of which
, they complain is relieved the whole
nation will share the good results"
The people OF the Mississippi valley
still are demanding relief and in a
louder tone OF voice. Moreover they
have formed an organization whose
purpose IT is to obtain that relief.
That they are making little progress
probably is due to the fact that they
are trying to cover too much terri
tory. If they would confine their ef-
forts TO the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
project, the lakes to gulf project or to
the Father of Waters alone they
might accomplish something.
But every section of the great val
ley is clamoring for attention at the
same time To meet the demands of
all 1t would be necessary to make over
most of the Mississippi's tributaries.
This would be expensive if not impos-
sible and it is doubtful that inland
water transportation will make much
progress for a long time to come.
As an illustration of what is meant
the Missouri river, to become of any
commercial use, needs a new bed and
new banks The wash from the west
ern plains has filled up the old stream
that teemed with steamboats, in by
gone years

came back revisiting her erstwhile

to say something and ended by putting
her arms about the other girls neck
and shedding two or three happy tears.
"Jim and are engaged" she said.

What beauty. what strength, what

THE REAL GARDEN.
He showed me round his garden and the
lawn was green and sweet
1t was like rug Of velvet, soft and springy
to the feet;
And the pansy bed was lovely, and the
peonies straight and fair
But there wasn't any laughter OF the chill
dren ringing there.
The roses stood in order and were beau
tiful to see,
I heard him sound the praises of a fine
old maple tree,
But beneath its spreading branches was
no patch that should be bare,
For the swing of happy childhood had not
ever dangled there.
There were blossoms rich with color and
the gardener named them All,
But they'd never known the havoc of q lit
tie Fellows ball;
There were blooms of rare perfection which
require mans constant care,
But there wasn't any symbol of q young
ster playing there.
Now, my lawn Is poor and barren and my
grass is hard to grow,
And it struggles for existence, for the
youngsters tramp it so,
And my garden seems untidy, but fer

You must not feel that way, because

that YOUR sister is twenty-one and the

Not to mention your grammothers

To find something in your bewro

Rite after you looked half a hour
For the same thing minnits before.
She's the one that takes your splinters

And sews your buttins back,
And IL the family goes away for the

She's the ony one knows how to pack.
So even tho she makes you go errands
And wash your GERS and neck,
Always smile as If you inJoyed It
Even if you're thinking, o heck.

is falling. portending rough weather

given the iron and steel industry a
foretaste of the drastic Stacking OF
production that will attend any pro-

crisis have been quickly communi-
Gated to the industry because trans

Especially. The outlook is so fraught
with disastrous consequences that 3

Acquired CHARMS.

So my advice to any girl who wants
| to move herself out of the wallflower
class is, first, to learn how to doll her
self up. When our first mother was
turned out of Eden, God gave her a
dress as a consolation prize. and it still
| works. AS long as there are chiffons.
and hair dreSsers, no woman need
ever be hard on the eyes, or lack the
means to attract the masculine gaze.
Only the trained eye of the artist
and praise heaven few men are artists
who can distinguish between woman
who is beautifully dressed, and one
who is beautiful herself, nor can many
men distinguish between hand made
complexion and the real thing. So
any girl can get the reputation of be-
| ing a good locker, of the sort that a
man is proud to be seen about with, If
! she will take enough pains with her
personal appearance.
My second piece of advice to the
wallflower is to learn how to dance
Superlatively we'll. These are the
days when it is better to have nimble
heels than to have the beauty of
Venus, and the wit of Aspasia. And
when it profiteth a maiden not II she
has every other charm on earth to be
heavy on her feet.
No girl who is a really wonderful
dancer ever lacks for partners. There
fore If you lack lure in other ways,
spend your money and your time with
some good dancing teacher until you
are an expert in all of the latest tod
dies and wiggles, and shakes, and
shimmies, SO shall you have to cut
your dances up into mincemeat in
stead of staring forlornly at a blank
program.
The third piece Of advice that I
would give the wallflower is to ac-
quire adaPtability. Learn how to be
a Jane so that you can
fill in wherever you happen to be.
Learn how to play a good game of
golf and a good game of bridge. Learn
enough music to be able OF play ac-
companim ents for people who think
they know how to sing, and to jazz for
who can help other people to a good
time is always in demand, and always
popular.
My fourth piece of advice to the
wallf1ower is to cultivate good nature.
Be a good sport. Be easy to get along
with. Be jolly and cheerful.
A man has to be actually in love
with a woman before he is willing to
take the trouble to entertain her, and
he fights shy of the girl who expects
him to ma AXE the conversational run
ming, but he likes the society of the
girl who will entertain her All men
are Grand Pashas at heart, and want
women to dance before them land
divert them with SheheraZade stories
And my fifth piece of advice to the
wallflower is, never let a man find
out that you are a wallfower. The
only rose that a man ever wants is
the one that he thinks all the other
men are breaking their necks Fto
pluck.
