A FRIEND TO THE FARMER.

The announcement in The Journal that
a blu for the protection of bull-bats in
Georgia is to be introduced in the legisla-
ture has, as was perhaps to be expected,
set the wags to wagging. Few may ever
stop to consider the serious side of the
subject unless 1t Is brought to their at
tention. But IL has a serious side, and
one that more directly concerns the farm
ers than any other class.
1t is argued that the bull-bat, being an
insectivorous bird, is of vast help to the
farmer in destroying insect pests. The
farmers. themselves. understand what this
insect problem means for them. And you
may gather fair idea of it yourself If
you will sit down and try to figure out
what even one per cent loss on the total
crop production of the United States
would amount TO in one year-and then
reflect how often you hear of crops being
cut OF ten and even twenty or thirty per
cent by the worms and bugs that some
times go through a fiourishing field like
a devastating army.

ever come when the Democrats
can save it again? The Democrats
have only saved it twice since the war

are as eager and anxious to save it
now as they have been in any time Of
their history. but even after the tur-

vt HAS been stated in some OF our
newspapers and published abroad
that in our cotton mills there are
many children under IL years Of age
who work hard from IL to II hours day,
who never go to school. who have no holt
days and who receive for their work from
12c to CSC a day.
That during busy times there are chill
dren on a night shift who work from dark
to dawn all night long, and that in order
to keep them awake they are drenched
with cold water, shaken, given strong
coffee and other means are used to keep
them at work.
1t is charged that they are not the chill
dren of widows dependent on them, but Of
men who are themselves worthless.
These charges are made openly and the
mill owners are the only people who are
prepared to deny them.
do not know that these charges are
true; certainly cannot deny them.

no man could have escaped indictment
who worked his negroes as these children
are said to be worked.

WHAT coon ROADS WILL BRING.

VITA GOOG nOADO VIE DhANN'
This subject OF good roads. We feel
that we cannot aIude to it too often. That
we cannot say too much about It. Some
body has made a strong point in calling
attention to the things that good roads
win bring to every community, and with
out which they cannot have. Listen:
Have you eyer. thought of the matter in
this light? You viii admit that all OF
these are things that every Community
would like to have. Things that every
community ought to have. Good roads
will get them. And our people may get
good roads in very easy and compare
lively inexpensive way If they will but
go about It.
I. The suggestions thrown OUT In The
Journal few days ago viii help to solve
the problem. Put as many convicts as
possible to work building good roads-let
the state furnish free one convict for ev-
cry one employed py the county
A plan similar to this. though the state
furnishes dollars and not convicts, is in
vogue in New York state. The public
road department of that state has recent
ly awarded contracts for $1,6OO,OOO for
highway improvement, one-half of which
is paid by the counties in which the work
is done and one-Half by thes state-2OO
miles of road in ali for Al counties.
with such efforts being put forth in
, Georgia, this state would soon add thou
sands to its population and millions to it's
productive capacity. Why mott begin at
