The dam age on this account is ten million yei (¥y,000,000). How to deal with thi islanders is a great problem, the pro fessor says, but evidently they mus migrate. ^ofessor Omori thinks the entire vplcanSc range of Kiushiu has eater ed upon a period of activity that re curs every CO years and that erup tiojis may be expected at any time especially from the volcano Un&een eight mi:es from Gbima, iii the per- fecture of Nagasld.

Atlanta, Jan. 17—Beeawee Bralyit Nesbit Thsw i« to •ffpaar in a Uutgn dandoc act at tlM AtiMta theater on l «i»«ia>7 M and 2T, prominaat club woBMn of Atlanta aoeicty ar« up in arm*. It ia not that they ^j«et the act, but they do sariously objact to £v«lyn Haabit. Friday, in the Cameeie library, the fact of Evelyn'* ^t was diaelos^ po a group of club jvomen. The protests were immediate and vehement. It is thought that an indignation meeting, to which the paators of the city will he invited, will he called as soon as the hews of Evelyn’s' coming spreads over the city, ‘‘Something ought to be done to stop the performance,” said Mrs. 3. R. Little, president of the Mothers’ Con gress of Georgia. “Evelyn Nesbit has had too muidi publicity ^dready, ■uough to be very har^ul to young eople of both sexes. “The Moaiers’ Congress stands for igh idealB and high character among 'oung people, and would naturally be pposed to a public performance by Jvelyn Thaw.: All who went to see ler would go merely out of morbid uriosity.” Mrs. J. 6. Parmele, of. 447 Spring treet, prominent in Atlanta society, ;aid that the women of Atlanta have een endeavoring for some time to 3levate the local stage, and that there ‘Ught to be a massed protest against he coming of Evelyn Nesbit. “Such a performance can mean no rood to Atlanta. Too many young iirls’ minds are now filled vrith the ixploits and life of Evelyii Nesbit, 4nce their publication. But to show 3velyn herself to these girls will be jtill more harmful for them. “There are many cases known to Atlanta Club women of girls who have ,ried to emulate some of the acts >f Evelyn Thaw, as set out in the itory of her ilfe. She should not be allowed to appear on the stage here aad from what I have heard around he city, the women of Atlanta are joing to try to get the noinisters to .elp them tts prohibit the perform- ee,” said Mrs. Parmele. Mrs. William Clear Spiker, presi- 2t;t of the Atlanta Drama League, id that that organization was no. oing to make an open protest against vslyn Nesbit. “I have just heard that she is com- g here, and haven’t yet thought ■>0Bt what we would do,” said Mrs. liker.. “But our usual policy, when play is bad or otherwise objection- ^le, is to ignora it absolutely. We ;ve it the silent treatment. We say rthing, aiid stay away from the per- rmance. This does more good than . protest, which always amounts to Tore or less of an advertisement for he objectionable play.” V.t 19 He’.s “Old Man” of s Galveston Bank.

The following from The Times- Dispatch, Hichraond, will be of inter est in North Carolina: “Contracts for street improvements in Ginter Park have been awarded by the Town Council. The work which will cost approximately $76,000 will be done by the Continental Public Works Co., of New York, under the supervision of Gilbert C. White, form erly of Bit^mond, who now resides in Charlotte. The work will start in March and will be completed on Sep tember 1. ' “Mr. White, who has been engaged by the Town Council to supervise the work, was raised in Bicbmond, but has been living in Charlotte for a number of years. He prepared the plans and specifications under which the work is to be done, and has full charge of its execution. Mr. White has gained considerable prominence as an engineer, and is engaged on some of the largest street and water construction in the Carolinas. He is a member of the American Society of Engineers. “The awarding of the contract is of special interest owing to the pos sibility of the annexation of Ginter Park to the City of Richmond. The town is one of the most progressive around the erty, and is rapidly get ting all of the latest improvements." PRESIDENT URGES FRIENDL"S SPIRIT. Hause Chamber Crowded When The ■ Message Is Bead—Senators Sim mons and Overman Pleased. Washington, Jan, 20.—Senators F. M. Simmons and Lee S. Overman are well pleased with President Wilson’s trust message today. “This massage, like all of the Pres ident’s messages,” said Senator Sim mons, “is excedingly direct in pur pose, clear in statement, and force ful in presentation. “The President leaves no room foi doubt as to exactly what he wants In the main his suggestions meef hearty response in Congress and the country. Thera is a vein of conser vatism throughout the message ant" a manifest purpose to assure busi ness that the Administration ap proaches the subject of business re adjustment in a spirit of friendlines; lather than hostility.” Senator Overman said: “The mes sage is clear-cut and to the point There is no break in it to hones' business, but the danger signal is pu' for the violator of the law. If Fre; ident Wilson’s idea can be carried ou we will have an era of compelitio and straight-forward business.” Washington, Jan. 20.—Presidon Wilson’s suggestions to Congress tr day iv. his trust address that the Gov ernment and business men are read to meet each other haif way “in i common effort to square busines; methods with both public opinion and i WE SOLD MORE PIANOS&ORGANS.

Before the plaudits of his audience had ceased and as the President was passing from the House Chamber where his successive appearances iince la.st April have contributed tc the nation’s history, his utterances had precipitated action. Kepresentative Underwood, major ity leader of the House, was the first to act. As soon as the House recon vened after the joint session, held tc hear the President, he offered-a mo tion to refer to the interstate and Foreign Comrnerce Committee the sugestions for the creation of an in- tersfcfite trade commissiou, ana iv. a law empowering the Interstate uoii=- meree Commission to regulate the is 5uanee of railroad securities and, tc ;he CoKi.'nittee on Judiciary, the pro posals relating to legislation designer to supplement but not amend tht Sherman anti-trust act.
