WHY NOT STOP IT?

The News has always believed and
commended that the prime considera-
ton in establishing dispensaries in
Terrell county was to rid the people
of barrooms and, as far as possible,
improve moral conditions by supply
inc those who use it whisky under
strict legal regulations. 1t was not
for the purpose of reaping the profits
that necessarily come from the opera
ton of dispensaries. This being true,
we would suggest that it might be
we'll for those who have the control
of these institutions not to fill mail
orders from other counties, especially
those counties where the people have,
by their votes, joined the prohibition
ranks and declared against the sale
of whisky. Terrell county is not en-
gagged in the sale of whisky as bust
ness proposition. 1t does not solicit
or induce the patronage of anyone,
and a refusal to ship whisky out OF
the county would be nothing more
than to carry out, in measure, the
true intents and purposes for which
dispensaries were established, and at
the same time show proper considera-
ton for those counties where the sale
of intoxicants is prohibited by the
local option law.
We happen to know that the au-
thorities do not want or encourage
this outside patronage, and, as a con-
sequence, the shipments from here now
are comparatively small. Why not
stop them altogether?

TEDDY.

President Roosevelt has been in the
limeHght recently. The eyes of the
whole world have been upon him. and
of course His Strenuousness has been
dee-lighted. Crowned heads have
united with distinguished statesmen of
America and Europe in according to
him the glory of peace between Rus
STA and Japan, and kilograms of con-
graduation have poured in upon him
from all parts of the civilized world.
Some call it luck, but whatever it is
there is no doubt the president has
more than once seized upon oppOr-
runity and done things. He will go
down in history as one Of the great
men of the age, no matter how much
we may disagree with him in some
things he has done or may do.

From the Perry Home journal.
Now, that the weather and politics
have COOLED off" somewhat, suppose
some of the 'reformers" give the peo-
pie bill of particulars concerning
corporation domination and ''ring''
politics. If the railroads have con
trolled and are controlling the official
conduct of state officers, tell US in
what particular have the officers served
the railroads to the hurt of the state,
and give the names of the officers. We
cannot believe that they are all guilty;
and if not all, then in justice to the
innocent the guilty should be named
and impeached.

GEORGIA,s PROSPERITY.

| From the Macon Telegraph.
AS printed in The Telegraph yester-
day, the tax returns from all the coun-
ties in the state to the comptroller
general show a gain of S37, 1874, 084 for
the state at large. Only three counties
show decrease, and these for incOn-
siderable amounts. In the great ma jOr-
ity of cases the increase is so large as
to indicate a high mark of prosperity
! in every quarter of the state. 1t is by
| far the most encouraging exhibit ever
made by the Georgia comptroller. The
agricultural and the manufacturing
counties move pari paSsu, SO that the
uplift is uniform. y
| There can be no doubt that the state
is now upon vantage ground such as
| few other states enjoy. The conditions
are such that movement hereafter is
bound to be forward. RetrOgression is
not possible. The bases of enterprise
have been soundly established.
In the state museum, arranged in the
capitol the natural products of the
state are displayed in wondrous varie-
! ty, demonstrating absolutely the inher-
ent strength of our industrial and
commercial life. One has but to view
it to be convinced that Georgia offers
| opportunities Tor the investors not
surpassed by any other state.
| 1t is because this fact is now realized
by the general world that the tax re-
turns are swelling. Capital flows in
steadily and smokestacks multiply.
The railroads extend as the demand
for transportation facilities develops.
The people show greater and greater
confidence in themselves and in the fu-
ture of the state. The spirit of letting
well-enough-alone is on the diminish
ing scale, and the disposition to make
new ventures was never so much in
evidence as at the present time. The
increase in the number of new small
banks, in order that business may be
more conveniently conducted, especial
ly in the rural districts, is another
assuring sign of the times.
In fact, as remarked yesterday, it
really looks as if it is only our souls
chat need to be saved" in Georgia.

SPENDING MILLIONS.
Work of the Railroads in Bringing
in New Industries.

| in New Industries.
In an article on the progress and
prosperity of the South, the New York
Sun says that $40, 900, 900 have been
invested in new industrial enterprises
| in the Southern states the last three
years. "Probably the greater part of
this can be traced either directly or in
directly to the work of the land and
industrial departments of the rail
roads," says the Sun.
Every important road now has it's
industrial and immigration depart
ment with agents vino are constantly
on the lookout for new industries.
Each road tries to get all the new
mills, factories, colonies, farmers
and truck growers it can. The agents
hunt for the best locations, and do all
they can to settle new people along
their lines. The Atlanta Coast Line
and SeabOard Air Line started tObac-
co growing in the Carolinas. The old
| Florida and Western promoted water
melon raising in south Georgia. The
| Central of Georgia encouraged peach
growing in the middle part of the
State. The Southern has paid special
attention to the building of new cotton
mills in the south, just as the L. & N.
encouraged the opening of coal and
iron mines and the building of fur
naces.
A railroad will spend thousands of
dollars on side tracks and extensions
to get new industry located.
In Atlanta the Southern is now
spending 1925, 900 to put in new side
TRACKS tn q stool mill week or 50 aOO
this same company agreed to spend
1920, 900 on an extension to reach some
mineral property which the owners
want to develop. Other roads are do
ing the same things every week. OF
course the roads expect to get bene-
fit from the new industries, but it takes
millions of money, which they are
willing to spend, to develop and build
up the country.
All the roads want active, intelligent
young men in their industrial depart
ments, the demand being greater than
the supply.
