Griggs, representative of the second
Georgia district in congress, will
doubtless be the new chairman of the
Democratic congressional campaign
committee. What he knows about
politics is enough, and we dare say his
management of the committee affairs
will be decidedly beneficial to demo-
cracy.

MEN AND EVENTS OF TWO STATES
BRIEFLY DESCRIBED.

The report of the city assessors of
Macon for this years assessments on
real and personal property makes the
following showing: Real estate. So
252. 227; personal property, IS, SAG, 1928; to-
tai, $15O9S, $50. This shows a gain of
$119, $50 on real estate and 1870 on
personal property, making total gain
over the assessments of last year Of
1916, lis. The value of the city's public
property, amounting to 1882, 500, is not
embraced in the assessed valuations
named. The city assessors were paid
by Council $3.50 each for their SER
vices. The Macon Telegraph analyses
the statement as to public property and
shows a discrepancy of over 100000 in
the actual total and in the sum total
as reported by the assessors.

of the Franklin ind Democrat be-
fore the Indiana Democratic Educ,

ports of people rather than evil. To

Dat Smut i'm Wisconsin,

Bulletin No. 81, recently issued by
the Experiment Station, Madison, is
of great Importance to Wisconsin
farmers. This bulletin shows that
last season the farmers of our state
lost over $4,000 900 through damages
caused by Oat smut. Many farmers
who thought there was no oat smut in
their fields lost from 5 to 20 per cent
Of the crop from this cause. The bull
letin tells how through the use of a
chemical which can be obtained at
any drug store seed oats may be
treated so as to entirely prevent smut.
Such treatment costs but one cent per
bushel of seed and is easily applied.
The bulletin will be sent free to all
farmers upon request. Address Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Madison
Wis, asking for bulletin No. 81.

TOBACCO AND THE YOUNG.

The Evening Wisconsin of recent
date notes the fact that DR.. Herbert
+. Fisk, principal of the Academy OF
Northwestern University at Evanston,
Illinois, has informed the boys under
his charge that those of them who
smoke must either abandon the habit
or leave school"
The Wisconsin says that Dr. Fisk.
has taken the right course in the
matter, and adds:
:" Smoking is deleteriOus physically
and mentally when practised by the
young, and the retention in a school
of boy who smokes is likely to
demoralize others. Therefore the de-
cision that the boys who will not stop
smoking must depart is for the good
of the institution. DR.. Fisk has
taken this course after careful investi-
CATION. His letter addressed to his
students should be read by all young
men who feel tempted to smoke"
Here is what DR.. Fisk says upon
the subject:
Whatever may be thought of the
use of tobacco by grown men, there
can be no division of opinion among
educators as to its injurious effects
both physical and mental, when
tobacco is used by young men who
have not yet reached maturity In
many cases it produces serious weak
ness of the heart. On this account it
Is prohibited to athletes while in
training for competitive games. Not
less distinctly marked are the effects
of tobacco using upon the scholarship
than upon the physical endurance of
students. 1t is rarely the case that a
student who makes any use of tobacco
attains a superior scholarship. \
complete tabulation of the scholar
ship and tobacco using habits of
young men in the academy at one
time discovered that out of 800 young
men - per cent. of the whole number
made more or less use of tobacco.
Among the seventy-five having the
highest standing only two were to-
bacco users, or 3 per cent. Among
the second quarter in scholarship
there were eleven, or II per cent.
Among the third quarter fifteen. or
Il per cent, while among the lowest
quarter there were forty-two, or 81
per cent. OF all forms of tobacco
using, cigarettes are without question
the most harmful

ELECTRIC LIGHTING

Inc Democrat believes that the city
council would act wisely in renewing
the contract with the Mineral Point
Electric Light Company, rather than
in submitting proposition to the
voters 10 bond the city in a sum
sufficient to buy the plant. Since the
introduction OF electric lights here
Mineral Point has received excellent
service in street and other lighting:
and has only paid a reasonable com
compensation therefor. Comparison
with the prices paid in other towns
and cities will bear out this statement.
And to secure good service for a
reasonable compensation is all that
can be hoped for under municipal
ownership or any other plan. The
chances are that if the city should
buy the plant we would not secure as
good service at a less cost And
before the bonds would be paid the
whole lighting system might be revo-
lutionized and new plant required.
The first bonds voted in the city of
Mineral Point ought to be for a new
school building.
