TO FIGHT THE BLACK ROOT.

The State Entomologist, Mr.. E L..
WOrsham, is reported to be enthusi-
astic over the prospect of an appro-
priatiOn by the legislature with which
to carry on the crusade against the
black root. A new feature to be in
troduced into the fight against the
destructive disease which is costing
the farmers of Georgia thousands of
dollars each year will be the estab-
lishment of model demonstration
farms, where resistant seed will be
planted, and where farmers will be
shown how to grow this variety of
cotton.
OF course one of these demonstra-
ton farms should be established in
Terrell, the county that holds the
record for cotton production in Geor-
gia, and is, according to government
statistics, eg&aled by only one other
county in the United States. Judging
from what Mr.. Lewis, the assistant
entomologist, said while in Dawson
a few days. ago there is no doubt
about Terrell getting one of these ex-
pertinent farms.

BREAD FROM COTTON SEED.

The United States War Department
is experimenting with cotton seed
meal in making bread for the
army ration There is no question
of the wholesomeness of the bread,
says the Washington Post but it is
matter of palate and prejudice, both
unruly factors in the equation. Per-
haps it was fortunate for the Union
cause, 1861-1865, that the South had
not found out that bread could be
had from cotton seed.
Continuing, the Washington paper
says: And why not? Olive oil from
cotton seed cannot be distinguished
from oil from the fruit of the olive
tree by the average consumer. 1t is
just as wholesome and just as pala-
table, and greatly more abundant.
The cotton oil lard serves all the
purposes of lard from swine, and
certainly it is more wholesome, as
vegetable food is bound to be more
healthful than animal For the max
ing Of cake a great many bakers
prefer cotton oil to the best COW but
ter.
The human palate can be disci-
9lined until it will not only accept but
welcome any food that is wholesome
Take the fruit of the okra plant.
The average man who never ate it
at first rejects it., but soon he be-
comes ravenously fond of it, and he
who does not enjoy a dish of stewed
okra, added to a dish of stewed to-
matoes, rejects one of the luxuries
of the table. Indeed, there are folk
who have to be taught to eat a toma-
to. Others must acquire the taste
before they can enjoy the oyster.
There is a cheese made in Germany
that, when opened, will empty a
room of every American in it, but
let one Of those same Americans nib
BILE at it few times and in a few
days he will devour more of it than
your German from Limbourg him
self.
1t is to be hoped that our people
may accept bread from cotton seed
-four. 1t would materially cheaper
the cost of living.

Do You Know Him? Does He Live
in Dawson?


From the Ocilla Star.
He is a handsome young fellow, SO
his Well-uSed mirrors tell him, and
he is very careful of his good looks.
His hands are tender, for he does
not care to risk spelling their soft
ness by labor. He dresses we'll
surprisingly well-for the amount of
money you would suppose he would
have to spend. He is very fastidious
in his choice of hosiery, lilac being
a favorite of his. And in order not
to hide such beautiful socks he usu-
ally turns up the bottom of his trOus-
ers. He always has his trousers
freshly pressed, and the wonder
grows how he can satisfy the press
ing club man. A handsome young
I man he is.
He comes down town daily after
breakfast and takes up his daily task
of ornamenting the drug store. For
all his regularity he is not paid a
salary for his service. He is glad
to lend his service free of charge;
for his lofty soul scorns the thought
of making a living for himself. His
days are taken up with rolling cigar
cites and reading the daily papers
paid for by some one else He
does not fatigue himself by reading
all the news, to be sure. He skips
over the dOings of congress and the
legislature. The editorial page he
entirely omits. (He will fail to see
this). But the sporting pages he
learns by heart. He can tell you
without wink just where Atlanta
and Detroit stand in the percentage
column. If you should want to know
he has some very positive ideas about
who will win the pennant.
You might infer that this young
man is lazy. Not so. He is only
waiting for a job that will suit him.
He has been waiting for sometime.
He is as fastidious about jobs as he
/ is about socks. He does not want
one that will cause him to sweat.
This might spoil his good looks. He
wants the job that his peculiar tai
ents tit him for-that is a light lob
beg pardon, pOsition) at gentleman
~ employment, with large pay and
short hours.
No, this young man is not ethereal
He has to eat like the rest of us.
His dad has to furnish the eats. And
his dad has to work early and late
to make both ends meet. How the
old man manages it the gay young
sport cares but little.
Do you know him? If so show
him this editorial, and get him to
read it. 1t might do him good tC

Hon. Douglass GIessner, editor of
the Griffin News and Sun, was found
dead in his bed few mornings ago.
He was an able writer, a genial and
companionable man, and hosts of
friends throughout the State are
grieved at his passing. He came to
Georgia from Ohio thirty years ago,
and during all of the time of his res
idence here was editor and publisher
of the Griffin paper.

1t is all so ridiculous, the beating
of the tom-toms and the blowing of
the bazoo by two or three newspapers
until they are red in the face about
the anti-single-shot rule, which can
not have any effect whatever on the
State ticket this year. The weather
is entirely too warm for our steamed
contemporaries to get "het up" so
about a matter that cannot amount
to anything one way or the other.

A Texas railroad is running a
Hog Special over it's line, and
spending thousands of dollars to en-
courage the hog raising industry in
that State. Why not Hog Special
in Georgia? Some public-spirited
Georgian we'll informed on the sub
ject of hogs could take charge of such
a train and do the people and State
as much good as if he were to go to
Congress and make noise as a states
man-maybe he could do more good.

In the retirement of Judge John
C. Hart Georgia loses an able, con-
scientious and clean public servant.
There is not a better man in Geor-
gia than the retiring attorney-gen-

Harris successor, is one of the States
best known public men and ablest
lawyers, and may be expected to dis
charge the responsible duties of the
office of encouragement in a highly
creditable and satisfactory manner

SINGLE SHOOTING.

The Albany Herald protests against
the rule of the State Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee which provides
that there shall be no "single-shot-
ting" or voting for only one candi-
date, when more than one vacancy
is to be filled.
"This ruling" says The Herald, 'is
so undemocratic that we for one
will not submit to it without protest
The effect of it is to undermine the
first principle underlying the free
exercise of the right of suffrage, and
we do not believe it can stand the
test of either party law and precedent
or the written law of the State
The News is inclined to agree with
The Herald in this matter, but the
action of the committee is mot new
or without precedent. 1t has been
done before in Georgia, even by a
State committee if our memory is
not greatly at fault.
But then there is another side
to the question and another way to
look at it. The Savannah Press, af-
ter noting that former Chairman A.
L. Miller upheld an anti-single-shot
rule that had been adopted by a coun-
ty committee, says: Where three
men, for instance, are to be selected
for the legislature it would be un-
fair for the pa "tisans of one man to
select that name and give him the
dVantage of single-shotting or
Pumping him in the ballot. Nine
times out of ten, it is cOntended, it
will be found that this practice is
not resorted to because a man can't
find suitable candidates in the poll,
but because some partisan wants to
give his man a fictitious vote. 1t
opens a way for bribery and fraud,
and is hardly a fair, open test Of a
voters wishes or of the candidate S
worth"
The Macon News is another paper
that takes a shot at the single-shot-
ter, and not without good reason.
1t says: THE practice of single
Shooting when there are two or more
vacancies to be filled is unfair and
undemocratic, in our opinion, be-
cause the particular friends and sup
porters of any one candidate might
agree on striking all the other can
didates merely for the advantage
this would give their candidate over
the others in voting A single-shot
in such case may be equal to two
votes for ones candidate, and this
is surely neither fair nor democrat
ic."
What our Savannah and Macon
contemporaries say cannot be disput-
ed. The News knows of its own
knowledge of instances where the
day was saved for candidates and
their defeat prevented by a consid-
cradle number of their friends
scratching all other names and sin
gle-shotting them.

Wall street, New York, always
wins. On Wednesday following the
big bruising contest at Reno the curb
in Wall street was crowded with
tiashily dressed negroes who had
money to invest. 1t had been won on
Johnson. They were buying large
blocks of mining stocks of Nevada
and other claims. The negroes will
probably have beautifully engraved
bits of paper to show, and nothing
else.

Mention is made elsewhere in The
News of the death of Mr.. J. P. Hanna
of Herod, one of the most generally
esteemed citizens of Terrell county.
The News was received here in Daw-
son with genuine sorrow, for his
friends here were numerous. His
life, like that of so many good men,
was cast along quiet and modest
lines, but it was for usefulness and
it was lived after a manner to win
for him the hearty esteem of every
one who enjoyed his acquaintance.
Many are the sincere regrets at his
passing from the activities of life.

three things to show for it-ratifica-

been spent in talk and playing poll

And when he found the inquirer was

looked like some woodland fairy
come to touch the blossoms with her
magic wand and turn them into tiny
apples.
II don't like competition, Gladys"
said jeff, taking step nearer. II
wonder-can't we be partners?"
Perhaps she nodded, or perhaps 1t
was only the Pickering shadows that
made him think so, but the next mo-
ment he had caught her in his arms,
apple blossoms and all, and. was tell
ing her that he had loved ner ever
since that time she nearly scared him
out of the apple tree. And for once
she didn't accuse him Of talking fool
ishly.
The apple blossoms faded and fell,
and summer came to fulfill the prom
ises Of spring. Mabel came home from
college again, protesting against al
lowing Gladys to stay home while she
finished her course. But Gladys was
firm and had her way, as usual.
One evening nearly three weeks aft
er she came home Mabel was sitting
on the porch idly lingering the strings
of her mandolin and trying not to feel
lonely. Gladys had gone riding with
jeff, and the sight Of their happiness
somehow made Mabel feel lonesome
and left out, though she tried to drive
the feeling away by playing and hum
ming some Of the dear old melodies.
Suddenly she was aroused from her
reverie by the sound of an automobile
coming up the driveway. 1t stopped
at the gate, and Harold leaped out
and hurried over to where she was
sitting.
"Won't you come for an auto ride"
he pleaded, "just for old times sake
for the sake Of those old songs you
were playing"
IT was thinking Of old times" said
Mabel as she rose and followed him
down to the gate. "Do you remember
the time you Unanswered to get me in
the back seat with Beth" she went on
mischievously as he helped her to the
drivers seat.
THAT was a different Harold" he
said. 'Those old days seem like a
dream more than they do like part Of
my real life"
"You have changed" said Mabel,
eying him approvingly.
"And I have you to thank for it." he
said. "You have made a man Of me,
Mabel. I used to think Of nothing but
my own good times, but now-well,
you've taught me to look at things diff

Will-power-about the only weapon
| Of resistance a man has-fS paralyzeo
and rendered ineffective by the very
first few drinks of liquor he takes.
The accumulated alcoholic poison In
the system does not allow the will to
reassert itself until the poison is
driven out. And this poison of alcohol
has the popularity of always demand
ing MORE as temporary relief from
the nerve torture Of that already taken.
The Gatlin is the only treatment that
rids the system of stored-up alcoholic
poison and returns the drinker to the
same condition mentally and physically
that he was in before he commenced
to drink.
So successful is the Gatlin treatment
in effecting permanent cures of the
drink habit cures each case in
THREE DAYStthat it's reputation as
an infallible cure is nationwide. 1t is
recognized as the National treatment
for the liquor habit. Seven thousand
cases have been treated with failure

der legally-executed contract that a
CURE-an entirely satisfactory cure
is to be effected in THREE DAYS or

The Gatlin treatment requires but
THREE DAYS of the patients time.
There are no poisonous or deliterious
drugs, no hypodermic injections, no dis
agreeable features, no substantive
stimulants. Permanent cures are eff
fected because it rids the system of
