AN EMPIRE UNDER WATER.

Efforts are to be made to reclaim
the millions of acres of swamp land
in the south These vast areas form
a rich empire from which food and
wealth might be taken, but which
in their present condition are in
capable of production, and bring
forth nothing for the benefit of man
more valuable than cat fish and
wild fowl and animals
1t is intended, if possible, to en-
list the aid of the federal govern
ment. There is no reason why the
government should not perform the
whole work if it can be carried
out as the work of irrigating the
western deserts is. Under the pro-
visions of the reclamation act the
farmers locating in each irrigation
district will return every penny eX-
pended in bringing water to the
soil. The government loses moth
ing, sacrifices nothing If the titles
of the states and of private owners
will not serve as a barrier the gov
eminent can scarce hesitate to do
FOR the south that which it is doing
"a, the far west.

r1ora1d,s corn, carnival is being held
in Albany today Tuesday, and no
more interesting o., important event
has taken place in the Artesian City
in a long while. The plumber Of
farmers who have grown notable
yields of corn this year, as we'll as
the quantity produced will no
doubt be a revelation. For the
largest yield on ten acres premiums
amounting to $500 will be paid
5000 by the Herald, and 800 by
Mr.. J. R. Mercer of Dawson. A
Terrell county farmer is in this
contest, and we will not be surprised
if he brings that money home in his
wallet. No matter who captures the
prizes, though, we most cordially
congratulate Editor Mcintosh and
the farmers who have grown enough
corn to entitle them to enter this
contest.

ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE.

1t looks like the Diaz luck is abid-
ing with the aged autocrat Of Mex
leo. The revolution over there has
been suppressed. The general opin-
ion on this side of the Rio Grande
is that the Diaz government is the
best for Mexico" 1t certainly has
some achievements of material and
beneicent nature to its credit. But
it is also we'll known that the Diaz
rule is an oligarchy, and that many
Mexicans detest it quite cordially.
The failure of the insurgents gives
the power of Diaz a new lease And
by the same token there are likely
to be some sanguinary scenes in
Mexico-of sundry men blnd-fold-
ed, backed up against adobe walls,
and the ring of musketry; some
quiet funerals, some fearful widows
and mothers, for nearly always there
is a woman to moan and mourn
when a man suffers. Defeat brings
disaster for the rebel If the whirli-
gig of fortune turns the other way
he isn't a rebel He is a hero, and
honored. 1t is the way of the world,
and the Mexican insurrectos no
doubt knew what would happen.

THE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE

That the laws against the sale OF
LIQUOR and gambling are tiagrantly
violated in many sections OF Georgia
is a lamentable fact all men know
# is also known that it is extremely
difficult to apprehend and convict
yiolators of these laws except in ex-
ceptionaI cases, says the Perry
Home Journal.
Continuing, our contemporary
very truthfully declares that what
ever may be said about the laXity
of authorities in dealing with such
yiolators of law it is a noteworthy
fact that the officials do not receive
the positive cooperation of even a
majority of the better class of citi-
zens.
Without the upholding force OF
public opinion no law can be rigidly
enforced. BY public opinion we do
not mean the merely expressed
opinion, but the opinion backed by
actual and earnest desire and per-
sonal cooperation.
That liquor is sold and that there
is gambling in Dawson or any other
town is only proof that the prepOn-
derance of public opinion does not
demand the enforcement of the law
against these evils. As our con-
temporary asserts, blind tigers or a
gambling house cannot exist in any
town or city where a majority Of
the law-abiding citizens are unre-
servedly pledged to cooperate with
the officials in enforcing the law.
This will apply to any other crime
that is committed through the de-
liberate purpose to get gain.
That some people believe the pro-
hibition law is an unjust restriction
of individual liberty does not enter
into the question. The law is upon
us, and it must be enforced, or we
beget disrespect for all laws that any
of us may think unjust or unwise.

WILL IT BE GOV. SHAW?
4 Political Possibility That Is of
Much Local Interest.


In the senatorial situation the
Cuthbert Leader sees the possibility
of Hon. Z. r. Shaw, who was chosen
by large majority to represent this
district in the next state senate, oc-
cupying the gubernatorial chair
The following from our Cuthbert
contemporary will be read with in
terest:
The senatorial situation caused
by the death of Senator Clay has
given rise to much speculation.
''One rumor is that the legisla-
ture will elect the senator, and that
Governor Smith will probably be a
candidate. That in case he should
be elected he would probably con-
tinue to serve as governor until De-
cember, when he would resign. In
the interim between his resignation
and the time when his successor
would be elected the duties of gov
ernOr would be performed by the
president of the senate. This makes
the race for the president of the SEN
ate more interesting.
"One of the candidates for this
position is from our own district,
the Eleventh-Hon. E. r. Shaw, of
FIT. Gaines. What his chances of
election may be are problematic, but
he is a popular man and has friends
all over the state. 1t is within the
bounds of possibility that E. R.
Shaw may be acting governor of
Georgia about a year hence"

Good Old Days of Low Prices.

Tom WatsOn's History Of France.
Good work and honest dealings
were exacted by each guild of it's
members, and their laws against
adulteratiOn and the like were al
most savage in their severity. In the
year 1916 two grocers were burnt in
Nuremberg for adulterating saffron
and spices. a similar instance oc-
Cured at Augsburg in 1892. In
some towns makers who did not
properly bake their bread were put
up in a basket fixed to the end of
g pole, and sOused to the bottom
of a pool Of dirty water as many
times as were thought necessary to
reform and make better tradesmen
OF them.
Wages, judged by what the many
would buy, were good in the fif-
teenth century. In South Germany
the average price of beef was about
half a cent per pound, while the
daily wages of carpenters and ma
sons, in addition to their keep,
amounted to about cents a day. In
SaXOny the same workmen earned,
OColNtCS JllCtL hSCps u NClIIo pei udy .
In addition to this the workman
was given a certain sum each week
to pay for the expense of washing
himself. This wholesome gratuity
was known as washing money. In
every town there were the needful
arrangements for bathing, both in
winter and summer; and it was a
customary thing for the guilds To
demand for their workmen a holi-
day once in fortnight, and some
times oftener, for the purpose of
bathing.
At the beginning of the sixteenth
century a day laborer could earn,
besides his keep, % cents. A pair
of shoes cost him Z cents a sheep
10 cents; fat hen about p cents;
20 Goldfish, 10 cents; a wagon load
of firewood delivered, u cents;
the best homespun cloth, II cents;
a bUshel Of rye about 10 cents.

he Macon Telegraph.

From The Macon Telegraph.
Martin w LittIeton, the New
York democrat Of southern birth
who has been elected to congress
from the Oyster Bay district, prom
ised for himself and party at the
close of his camaign that I'VE shall
be brave without boast, religious
without cant, honest without excite
ment, benevolent without buster,
strong without threats and serious
without hysteria." His listeners
understood and applauded the deft
fling at the only honest man in the
world. But they and other voters
are now apt to remember that a
promise is promise, and certainly
Mr.. Littleton's is a good one for the
democrats who have been put in
office to keep.

A recent development at Macon
furnishes strong argument for the
adjustment of the fee system in
Georgia. A suit by the widow Of
VIM. Brunson, late solicitor-general
of the Macon circuit. against the
solicitor pro tenn has brought to
light the fact that the solicitors
fees arising from the City Court
Of Macon alone amounted to $1O,-
066.0O in one year 1t needs no
argument to convince any one that
that is too much money to be paid
the prosecuting officers of a loca,
misdemeanor court in twelve
months time. The fee system makes
business for the courts and usually
fat pocket books for the officials.

StarYe the MeeViI.

From Cotton and Cotton Oil News
Boil weeVils have never been
known to damage corn, oats, hay
peanuts or sorghum. They do not
attack hogs, cattle or poultry, but
they are particularly partial to cot
ton and never change their diet. 1t
seems to argree with them. Why
should southern farmers pander to
their fastidious taste by planting
most of their land in cotton?
