NEW DISCRETION LAW

Georgia has only an abandonment law. Un-
der it as long as father stays in his home COM
munity it is not considered that he has aban-
done dhis family, even though he does not
contribute to it's support. Should he go to an
other community, and should the county be
persuaded to put up funds to bring him back,
he is usually sentenced to work on the roads
which does not help in the rearing of his chill
dren.
The non-support and desertion bill that will
be introduced in the Legislature this summer
requires that father bear his share of the re-
sponsibility in the rearing of his children. An
order from the court to bring the father back
is charge on the county treasury. The court
tries to adjust the difficulty and places the IA
Their on probation. If sentence is required, the
sum of fifty cents a day is paid toward the care
of the children during the time the father is
working for the county, serving his sentence.
This bill was drawn by the uniform law COM
mittee of the American Bar Association and is
in operation in over half the states of the Union
at the present time.
One Georgia court has pending 216 cases OF
non-support and desertion of families-wait-
ing for Georgia to change her law.-Cuthbert

A. J. Beveridge, Former
Indiana Senator, Dies
At Age of Sixty-Five

indianapolis, Ind, April 27.--Al-
bert jeremiah Beveridge, former In
diana senator, died suddenly today
in his sixty-ffth year.
While one of the pioneer opponents
of direct election of all public officials
he was consistently unsuccessful as a
candidate under the system. He serv-
ed twice in the Senate from Indiana
through legislative election, but was
rejected by popular referendum.
He retired in 1911.
He was born on an Ohio farm, and
was we'll known as the author of the
Life of John Marshall" At the time
of his death he was working on a
''Life of Abraham Lincoln which
was only half completed.

COLLEGE WOMEN

Gone with other fallacies of the
past is that of the "bluestocking." 1t
was general idea in former days
that to educate woman too much
untitled her for her natural sphere,
and she occupied a peculiar position
in her home and community as one
out of balance with the rest of the
world.
How changed is all this. Barnard
College is one of high rank and stress.
ing classical courses, yet the entire
membership of the graduating class
of 1926 are found to be engaged at
the present time in practical and
gainful occupations. Some of these
pursuits when named will show the
great variety of interests and the
certain development of those talents
that had been Unborn.
There are nurses, designers, deco
rators, advertisers, and lawyers, as
well as writer's, which were the most
early conceded products OF hlgher
education. There are also the still
newer positions for women of organ
izer for the League of Nations, col
lege registrar, Psychologist, a proba-
ton officer and a house painter. Not
one of the graduates is yet married,
but that is not considered the draw
| back that it formerly has been, for
it is seen by late computation
that of about $50 women millionaires
in this country, less than dozen have
husbands. There are number of wild
ows among the number, but the
greater number are single, though
considerably past the manageable
age.

THE TEXTILE TREND

The purchase of the Barrow County Cotton
Mill, of Winder, and the branch mill OF that
company at Lawrenceville, by the Amoskeag
Cotton Mills, of Fitchburg, Mass, further &C
centuates the trend of the eastern textile indus
try to the south and the marvelously growing
Importance of Georgia as leading cotton
manufacturing state.
The announcement of the purchase carries
with it the further announcement that from
$5OO,OO0 to 81 900, 900 will be spent in expan-
sons within year, which announcement is
tantamount to that of complete new mill units
representing such an investment.
Following closely upon the announcement
of great new unit to be added to the Atco
Mills, at Gainesville, the new mill develop
ments at Thomaston, Cedartown, Gainesville,
and other points, this news of the Wlnder and
Lawrenceville additions still further empha-
sizes Georgia's commanding position as one OF
the outstanding textile states OF the union IN
the future.
The momentum of the cotton mill movement
from the east to the south is now unconquera-
ble In time it is safe to predict that every fac
tory in America making cotton fabrics, or man
ufacturing cotton goods in any nature and ca
pacity, will be located within easy reach of the
raw material, and in touch with the incompar-
able mill labor conditions that exist in the cot
ton growing belt. It is as inevitable the law
of gravitation.
