City Schools Are Sustained
By The Voters

FITZGERALD has a free school sys-
tenn that has justly been its pride
since the first year of the colony.
There has been some little diff
Guilty in getting the local law to
conform to the state constitution
consequently several elections have
been required. Yesterday, we hope
was the last of these elections, the
results of which were entirely salts
factory to the friends of the schools.
Two hundred and sixty-nine votes
for, and ten against, was the result
of the reference of the question to
the voters at the polls.
The act was drawn to conform
with the state constitution and it IS
believed will stand the test.
We hope there will be no further
objections on the part of the tax
payers
There may be some reforms
separating the free school from the
special work, but that will be the
limit in all probability for the peo-
pie of the city have the free tuition
and free book sentiment good and
strong,

Inspector Is Going After
Those Using Small Measures
Fight On Short Weight win
Be Followed by a Cant :.
paien Against Short
Measure.
The Inspector II

Inc inspector!
The man who bears that title as
the guardian ofweights and measures
in Atlanta has already inspired ter
ror for the short-weight practitioners
among coal dealers, ice retailers and
grocers. Now the campaign against
short measurements is to begin and
the inspector himself says there will
be some startling disclosures.
There is city ordinance providing
for correct weights and measure
ments, but it is up to the state to
provide a standard of measure
mentS. This the state is not doing
at present. When the state law was
first passed the ordinary in each
county was provided with a stand
ard of measurements. 1t is said
that these have been misplaced or
lost. The inspector will call upon
the county ordinary for standard of
these measurements. If the Ordi-
nary can't provide them he in turn
will call upon the secretary of state,
and if the secretary of state hasn't
the money with which he can secure
them, the legislature will have to
provide it.
! The Office of inspector of weights
and measures was created by council
last spring by an ordinance intro
duced by Alderman John S. Cand-
Ter. W. T. Buchanan was appointed
to the place. The practices of short
weight vendors that he has brought
to light are familiar to all.
Mr.. Buchanan states that in his
rounds of inspection of weights he
finds many fake peck measures, quart
cups, etc. But before he can make
cases against the offenders he must
have a standard. Mr.. Buchanan fur
ther states that he is informed that
some of the people are being cheated
by short measurements in milk. He
says he understands many of the
milk bottles used in Atlanta are
understood.
Il have been told" said Mr. Buch--
anan, that in making the thousands
of bottles the glass blowers find
many of them understood. They
know that these bottles will be con-
demned in the larger cities and there
fore they send them to places where
the inspectors are not so strict. But
| must have a standard before can
condemn, for without a standard one
merchant has as much right to say
that his peck measure is correct as
any other"

Edison Peeps Into The
Future OF Electricity.

That we are just entering into the
great world of electricity is the opin-
ion of Thomas A. Edison, the man
among us all who has license to lift
the veil and look ahead into the
wonders yet to come by way of
electricity.
I'VE have but just started on our
electrical way" said Mr. Edison with
a smile as he sat on the corner of
his laboratory table. Sometime
fathers come to me, or write to me,
about their sons and want to know
if in view of the fact that so much
of the field is already occupied by
electricity, l would recommend it as
a career. 1t is assumed by them that
all the great electrical inventions
have been made, and that nine or
ten billions of dollars is about all
that electricity will stand in the way
of investment. Well, if | were be-
ginning my own career again, | should
ask no better field in which to work.
The chances for big new electrical
inventions are much greater than
before the telegraph, the telephone,
the electric light and the electric
morton were invented; while each of
these things is far from perfect. We
shall have easily $50, 0OOO0O,OOO of
money in electrical service in 1925,
and five times as many persons will
then be employed in electricity as
now, most of them in branches for
which we have not yet even a name
l often pick up my laboratory note
books, of which have hundreds,
full of hints and suggestions and
peeps into nature, and realize how
little we have actually done to set
electricity at work, let alone deter
mine its secret.
Look at the simple chances of
improvement in what devices are
known today. They are endless.
About 1OO,OO0,O0O carbon filament
lamps are made here every year,
much the same in all essentials as a
quarter of a century ago. We must
break new ground. 1t is the same
way with electric heating and cook
ing appliances, very ingenious even
now, and better than any other
means; but ten years hence they
will be superseded and in the mu-
seums with bows and arrows and
the muzzle leaders. AS for the cleo
trio motor, it will not be perfectly
utilized until everything we now
make with our hands, and every
mechanical motion, can be effected
by throwing a switch. am asham-
ed at the number of things around
my house and shops that are done
by animals-human beings, Imean
and ought to be done by a motor
without any sense of fatigue or pain
Hereafter a motor must do all the
chores"

If the skies look dull to you,

If the atmosphere is blue,

Will not gain for you cent

Brooding doesn't help your cause,
Get to work,
Nothing gained by picking flaws,
Get to work,
Weak are trampled by the strong,
You a victim of mans wrong,
Stand the storm. 1t won't be long
Get to work.
If success shall come, you must
Get to work,
There's no other way but just
Get to work,
1t may yield not wealth nor fame.

If you perish you'll die game
