Ex-Gov. Vardarman says that
he does not intend to make any
political speeches until next year.
BY that time he will doubtless be
able to acquire a new stock OF
nondescript adjectives, a lavish
equipment of personal pronouHs,
and a few diversified adverbs
and nouns. Verify, that Vardar-
man vocabulary is fearfully and
wonderfully made.

MORE ABOUT DRAINAGE.

The Light and Water Commission
have filed their report with tho City
Council in which they recommend
that the portion of the city east OF
the Y. & M. V. needs an immediate
installation of better drainage scr
vice, and further states that addi-
tional sewerage is also needed in
the Congress Heights and Austin
Wright additions, and that tho prop
osition of this installation simply
resolves into tho question that 9th
er it must be done now OF a year or
two hence.
They show in their report that IN
both of these additions residents
have incurred tho expense and In
convenience of digging their own
cess pools and are without tho use
of the city sewerage service. This
expense should not be placed on the
residents of these sections merely
because they live near the edge OF
tho city limits. They pay taxes, too,
and should be given sewerage.
Their report also shows that Sow
erage must be installed in these adj
ditions either now or it will become
compulsory within a year or two on
tho ground of health conditions
They say that it is not Immediately
needed, but that it is a question o.
public policy, which tho Council hat
to decide.
We hope that the Council will do
eide the matter ~favorably, and fee
pretty sure that they will. They
will only have to provide tho Com
mission with $1,000, probably
lite more along at times during tn
construction of same, but If tn
construction is begun at the first o
October, the Commission seems o
tho opinion that they can install tn
additional system with the use Q
their funds and the additional pre-
vision for $4,000.
There's no use in putting til
matter off q year OF two. 1t will b
Just as easy to provide the $500
now, and instruct the Commissio
to proceed at the time suggested

These parts of the city cannot EMO

unless they are given these convel
fences now. Putting off the insta
lation two years only means thu
their growth will be retarded durin

We cannot remind ourselves too
that : fundamental pur-
pose of good books, and 70 Of tho
library which possesses them. is to
give genuine plsasure, and that the
library ought to be moro closley
and peculiarly associated with
pleasure than any other institution
supported by the public.
Life for most of Us is sufficiently
dull and colorless. The workday
aspect Of tho world is always with
us and oppressess US. For the
average man and women, whose
education has been limited, whose
imagination has lacked al wider
opportunity for cultivation, the
easiest escape from tho cares Of
daily life, from the depressing
monotony Of daily routine, will be
through tho avenue opened by the
story, the peoples road out of = care
filled life, ever since tho days of tho
Arabian nights. Such readers Is
these desire fiction and ought to
have it. If their Imagination can
be cultivatedto the point of reaching
similar freedom from care through
poetry, through tho drama, or any
of tho higher forms Of literature.
The ibrsry's message is to mon and
women cramped by toll and narrow
cd by routine, evor seeking some
way out Of this troublesome world
into that larger realm which is
more truly ours becsuse it is our
creation and that of our follows.
This wider world, in its friendlinesa
and homelikeness, tho library must
represent.
The library Is whore tho readers
are introduced to tho friendship Of
authors and their books. They are
at homo and there We too may be Al
home. Old and young, rich and
poor, simple and wise. men and
women and children, there wo may
meet now friends on kindly and f.
miliar terms and widen our thought
as we learn of their wisdom and wit
There wo may renew u acquain
tancs with old friends and feel tn
contracted horizon of our lives agai1

We como to them not to learn les
sons but to be with them for = littl
while and to live with them tina
larger and truer life which thei
presence creates for US.

If there was ever . gospel that
needed preaching and that should
be generally needed by the plan
tiers in this section of the South,
it is certainly that of diversified
ton of crops. There is hardly
another matter before our people
today that demands such serious
attention as does this one. It's the
only means of prosperity for our
farmers, the most effective instru-
mentality Of reducing the cost Of
crops and the general high cost of
living, and to embetter the condi-
tons in which we live.
It is generally conceded prop
osition that the boil weevil is near
us. and that its approach is widely
anticipated. If the bug does hit
us it will exert a disastrous in
fluence upon the cotton crop, the
main source of our revenue. Ex-
perts say the pest is not far away,
and are heralding the admonition
to diversity the crops so as to sue
cessfully fight and evade the weev-
il.
But even if the bug passed us
up, how can the practical planter
fail to see the feasibility of diver
sification. Why will he incur
such a heavy expense in making
a crop when it is possible to east
ly cut this cost down to half by
diversifying his crop to even a
small extent. Our farmers are
now paying fifteen cents for ordi-
nary meat, and other exorbitant
prices for commodities necessary
to make a crop, all of which ought
to and must be produced at home
on their plantations at half that
expense and in even larger guam
titles. Raising his own hogs, cat
tie, and engaging in other lines
of Investigation would pay many
a farm out of debt in quick time
Weevil or no weevil, its up to ou1

along these lines and keep theil
