A FAVORED SECTION

While the East and Northwest are
shivering in the intense cold which
is bringing death and suffering in
it's wake, Americas is at the worst
afflicted with a rain for a few hours,
with a GOODNESS of the atmosphere.
Not that these days are pleasant at
ALL but as for being a menace to life,
that is not even to be considered.
Why do people live in these dreary
sections, when the Sunny South beck
ons to them, with it's wealth of sum
mer and its minimum of cold? OF
course there is excuse for the East,
where settlement was earliest and
where large interests wer e built
up.
Without disparaging the Northwest,
it does seem a wonder to the Southern
man in these latter days why immi-
grafton turned in that direction, where
the winters are all but insufferable
and of long duration. Some willy agent
must have put a hand over the map
where Georgia is located. Not
knowing there was such a delightful
climate and rich soil, the foreigners
are to be excused for their conduct.
After all, it may have been the
best that this tide of immigration was
diverted from this section, though it
undoubtedly retarded the develop
ment of the Southeast. Such a wave
of newcomers would have swept over
the older civilization which is now the
priceless heritage of the Southland,
where the pure American is to be
found. This section would not in that
event have been the preserver of the
AnglO-SaXon race.
Now since the trend of immigra-
ton has been turned in some measure
to the South, there is no danger that
the influx will overwheIm the old
citizenship, but will rather be alb
sorbed into the common heritage.
1t may smack of the Pharisee's atti-
tude, but Southwest Georgias citizens
can be thankful that this sections
climate and soil are not like other
climate and soil, where the bleak
winds blow and where is a constant
fight with the soil to worry from it's
sterility living. In short, We can
be thankful that we are not as other
sections, dreary, sterile and forbid

A BABY AS MATINEE PRIZE

In the prevailing rage for premiums
a theatrical manager in Milwaukee has
offered to give a 6-months1old baby to
the woman holding the lucky matinee
ticket. Representative mothers of the
city are organizing to prevent the
child being raffled, and declare that
if necessary an injunction will be
sought
1t would seem that there is much
merit in the protests of the mothers
of Milwaukee. So long as Teddy bears
and dolls that cried or didn't cry,
were the chief prizes, there was no
protest, but when it comes to offer
ing the destinies of a human being in
such a reckless manner, that is a
different matter altogether.
AS result of the rattle, the holder
of the winning ticket might not want
such a prize, or the child might go
to very unworthy people.
Such monstrosity as Juggling with
the fate of a child should be placed
beyond the reach even of managers
who are seeking any new thing to
advertise their shows. The Milwaukee
has stepped over the line.
If an outraged public sentiment does
not stop him, the courts should.

BALANCE ON RIGHT SIDE

A comparison of the foreign trade
of this country and Great Britain
makes favorable showing for the
United States, though the total volume
is smaller than the formers The
figures also disclose the fact that the
United States has a big balance on
the right hand side of the account,
while the United Kingdoms imports
exceeded her exports.
Last year the foreign trade of this
country was $780, 100000, and of
Great Britain $4,9000O0, 900. Britain's
imports exceeded exports by $640,000,-
900, while American exports. ex-
ceeded imports by nearly tn same
sum.
This Favorable balance demonstra-
ties the source of the financial strength
of this country. We sell more than
we buy, which spells prosperity. Cot
ton, food stuffs, and manufactured
goods find a ready sale in the United
Kingdom, which is our best customer,
and the demand also stretches from
the steppes of Siberia to the countries
nearest the South Pole
Except for a defective financial
system, the prosperity of the coun-
try need not be dimmed by periodical
disturbances.

CHINESE PRINTERS
CANT BE ADMITTED
Troubles of Paper in That
Language.

NEW YORK. Jan. (SpeciaD -
There is trouble in the printing Office
of the Chinese Reform News, rs
Chatham Square. Some of the old
typesetters have left and the authori-
ties at Washington are holding up
the new Chinese compositors, so
that they will ont arrive in time for
the Chinese New Year on Feb. 7.
Every Chinaman has to have his
set of New Year cards, with his name
printed in the corner Anticipating
taht rush of extra work, the Chinese
printing office has been negotiating
with Washington for several weeks to
get the new typesetters here in time.
The negotiations have been long and
troubled, for the importation of Chi
nese printers hits both the Chinese
immigration and contract labor laws.
No other compositor but a China
man will do, and they are scarce,
even in China. The difficulty of the
trade arises from the lack of a Chi
nese alphabet, for in Chinese each
word has a separate character AS
Lee Thick, editor of the Reform News
expresses it, How many thousand
word we use? thousand, many t'ou-
sand. How many? Oh, two, tree
t'ousand. He must learn. He study
It takes long time. l pay sixty dollar
a month. ?"
Sixty dollars a month is a large
salary in Chinatown In his native
country it costs the workman only
2 cents a day to live. Even in China
compositors are hard to find, be-
cause outside of the educated class
few ever learn the two, tree t'ou-
sand" characters necessary for the
printing business.

LYDTA e. PTNKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
fitted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any womananyd aymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to a healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

And on my couch l lie,
Forgetting as I quantity snore
The troubles that are nigh
Some fancies gallop through my

But they are nothing to the dreams.

Reclining in an easy chair,
Cheered by fat cigar,

A high-priced auto car.

Some fiuctuating stocks
And shrewdly play the lucky side,
And gather wealth in blocks.

Come tumbling off the tree,
And hear as music in my ears
The Presidential bee,
Down through the crowded avenue

And to the noisy, cheering crowd

I see maiden young and fair
Come gayly tripping in;
She values lightly to my side
And pats my chubby chin.

TELEPOSTS MAKE
MESSAGES CHEAP

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-(speciaD-
Faster, cheaper and more general
news distribution is one of the many
advantages of the telegraph service
offered by the Telepost company. The
rates to newspapers will be in pro-
portion to its rates on private and
commercial business, which have
already been announced as one cent
a word between all points on tele-
grams, and half a cent, without re-
gard to distance, on "teleposts" de-
livered at destination through the
mails. The minimum in each case is
25 cents. Of course the most import
ant application of this system will
be for the distribution of press mat
ter.
