The development of the power
which the Savannah affords would be
the greatest possible good to US all.
Those who would work and be indie
pendent may do 80. Those who own
property in the neighborhood will re-
ceive benefits. Those who would 60
into commerce will have a wider and
a better field.
The paragraph which is personal to
Mr. Granville Beal is pleasant indeed.
If he should be half as successful in
improving the Savannah as he was in
building a magnificent Masonic Tenn
pie in the State of Florida he will de-
serve q monument as high as the sky
and a broad as the horizon. But be-
fore be gets the monument, the people
would make no mistake in giving him
a seat in the Legislature. Any man
who contributes to the improvement
of the county deserve we'll of the peo-
pie. Mr. Beal is a gentlemen of good
judgement and quick perceptives. A
better man than Granville Beal has
seldom come amongst us.

To Make Cloth From a New Fibre.

Washinton, June 27.-The following
extract from a report to the depart
ment Of commerce and labor from
United States Council Boyle of Liver
pool, England, will be of interest to
people wherever cotton is grown. He
sends the following extract from the
London Daily Mail.
with regard TO the statement that
a Rochdale engineer and weaver have
sold for 1913, 900 a secret process for
the manufacture of rhe fiber ramie-a
wild grass of the nettle species Mr..
J. w. Lodge of Sowerby Bird e writes
to say that the manufacture of this
vegetable fibre is now we'll understood
and the initial and original difficulty
of degumming has long since beer
overcome. Today I have SLEEVES and
tops ready for spinning of the most
perfect and beautiful character, and
which we can produce in unlimited
quantities at about 4 I'D [9 cents per
pound-considerably less than the
price of raw cotton. It's purity and
intensity of silky whiteness, its soft
ness and t~enacity, exceed anything
that can be obtained, in my opinion,
from the best American or Egyptian
cotton"
Mr.. Lodge states that he has manu-
featured the grass into cloth, dress
goods, ropes for lifting or driving pur-
poses, and other articles. The ma
terial, he says, is capable of being
made up into the finest plush fabrics
on account of the length and tenacity
of its staple.

ABE NOT FREE AND EQUAL
A mother icnniclast is arisen.

Another iconiclast is arisen.
The favorite doctrine of campaign
and fourth ofJuly orators is attacked,
and whaEinany of us have believed to
be a myth, one man has the courage to
30 declare.
DR.. Frank w. G%unzaulus, in deliv.
ering, in delivering the baccalaurate
address to the graduating classpf the
Armour Institute. Chicago, said:
"There was never a more interesting
falsehood than all men are created free
and equal" 1.-The Declaration of In
dependence was the work of n. hour
Of intense excitement and on every
national anniversary this phase is mis-
quoted because when it is taken from
its context It'll false. Freedom Is some
thing to be won. Men are not born
free. Every power into whose control
a man comes is a conquered freedom
There are no equals in this universe OF
Gods. God is no socialist.
1.-The problem of problems is to get a
humanity that is energetic and mill
tant-that is restful. The world needs
men that can observe the approach OF
tremendous coming events as the en-
gineer.d does the engine and still remain
placid in the face of this force. Get
the utmost efficiency into life with the
lean waste, just as in the principles OF
physics. Put your methods into life
so as to make the engine Of life GO
ahead accurately and with power.
The young man of today has an errend
to the world and must make himself q

That SObered Me.

A gentleman high in commercial
circles in a Western city was relating
some Of his experiences to a group Of
friends.
81 think" said he, "the most sineu-
lar thing that v e happened to me
was in Hawaii. My father was q mis-
sionary in those islands, and I was
born there. I came away at an early
age, however, and most of my life has
been spent in this country; but when I
was a young man-and q rather tough
young man, too, l may say-I went
back there once on q visit. The first
thing I did was to drink. more than T
should have done. While I was in
this condition an old mana native
persuaded me to 60 home with him.
He took me into his bouse bathed my
head, gave me some strong coffee, and
talked soothingly and kindly to me.
"'Old man. I said, what are you do
ing all this to me for?
"tWell,' he answered, 'I'l tell you.
The best friend I ever had was q white
man and an American. 1 was a poor
drunkard. He made q nan of me,
and, I hope, q Christian. All I am or
ever hope to be I owe to him. When
ever I see an American in your condi-
ton I feel like doing all I can for him,
on account Of what that man did for
me-
"This is q little better English than
he used, but it is the substance of it..
"'What was the name of the man?
I asked him.
"'Mr. Blank, a missionary
"'God Of mercyv I cried. He was
my father
"Gentlemen, that sobered me, and,
I hope, made a man of me. It is GER
tain that whatever I am to-day I own

WHERE IS THE STATE LINE?

WHERE Is LIE SLATE LINE .
Where is the line between Georgia
and South Carolina?
This question is being very much
discussed in Elberton now, on account
of the local bills being introduced in
the Georgia legislature asking permits
sion to construct dams across the Sa-
vannah river.
The generally accepted idea is that
low water mark on the Carolina side
of the Savannah river Is the line be-
tween the two states.
But lawyers who are investigating
the matter hold that the middle of the
river is the dividing line.
The code says that the river is the
line, conforming as near as possible to
the treaty of Beaufort.
The treaty of Beaufort says the bed
of the river is the line.
A lawyer who has investigated the
matter says q supreme court decision
makes the middle of the run of the
main stream the line.
The treaty of Beaufort gives all Of
the islands to Georgia. Some of the
islands are beyond the middle of the
run of the main stream.
Some suggest that all the islands are
Georgia's; and that the entire bed o,

The matter of the dress of the mem

HON, BEAL.

Granville Beal, of Wildwood, visited
friends in Elberton Tuesday and Wed
nesday. He is one OF the popular
men of Abbeville, S. c., and deserved
ly 80. His open-handed hospitality is
proverbial, and his great big heart in
q ,reat big body pumps nothing but
generous blood through every vein.
He is a candidate for the legislature
from Abbeville county. In 1876 a
number of Ebert county voters cross
ed the Savannah to help South Caro-
lima out of a political "wine-hole,"
ana there are hundreds of our readers
who would be glad to 60 owe again,
renew political affiliations and vote
for the plincely host of historic Mill

Another advertisement for the con-
s~truction Of two dams across Savan-
nah river at Trotter Shoals appears in
this issue. This makes four dams that
permission to construct is asked of the
Georgia legislature, all of them in FL
bert county. If the general assembly
grants these requests-and it should
and parties interested construct the
dams-and we hope they will--why,
Ebert county will hum with manu-
featuring enterprises.
