SIC EN-. BUGS!

Uncle Sam does considerable bust
ness in swapping bugs, and one which
has an important relation to Ameri-
can agriculture The purpose is to
introduce parasites and predatory in
sects which prey upon destructive
species common to the country-a
crafty scheme to array one section of
the insect world in war against an
other.
For example, foreign parasites
have been imported to fight the gypsy
moth in Massachusetts, and a few
years ago a foreign ant was brought
here with a hope that it would
prey on the cotton boil weevil Of
the south. Last year twelve spe-
cies of foreign parasites were intro
duced in various parts of the coun-
try, each for the purpose of destroy
ing native insects which prey upon
some form of plant life.
On the other hand we send some
frstclass American parasites and in
sect destroyers to other countries.
The American parasite of the null
berry tree is doing fine work in
Italy. Our ladybird beetles are ex-
terminating the mealy bug in the
region of Malaga in Spain, and para
gitpS 0f scale insects cont to Daru
by the department of agriculture are
producing excellent results. Even
the American bumblebee has been
pressed into foreign service, a ship
ment of that species having been
sent to the Philippines, where they
are working to fertilize clover.

VILLIFYING PUBLIC MEN.

| From the Rome Tribune.
1t has become a practice with
some people and some newspapers to
villify and abuse public men, espe-
cially those holding office, on every
| possible occasion. 1t sometimes hap
! pens that they deserve it, but very
| frequently they do not. However,
| the abusers don't stop to discriminate.
They go ahead with their complaint
on general principles. This is rather
trying to a public official who is en-
deavoring to do his duty. 1t is dis
couraging to say the least Many
| people seem to think that because
man holds office he has set himself
up as target for people who have
nothing better to do to hurl epithets
at. When the abuse is general they
are practically defenseless. All they
can do is to sit still ana bear it as
! best they can.
There ought to be some way TO get
at those people who are continually
nagging at public officials. They
ought to be either made to sustain
their charges or suffer punishment.
1t has been suggested that laws
/ be passed making it a criminal of
tense, and if it turns out that the
charges are without foundation and
are maliciously made then the of
| tenders could have proper punish
ment melted out to them.
This would no doubt have the eff
feet of putting a stop to the opera
tions of the professional villifiers
They would take time to stop and
find out the facts of each particular
case before they undertook to take
a public official to task
There ought to be some protection
for the public man against the con-
slant dragging of his name into the
public prints by senseless and cause
less villification. The best method
that has been suggested in our opin-
ion is the one mentioned. This will
stop the taking of private revenge
for fancied wrongs against public
officials whose acts may not fit in
with the plans of some adventurer,
who seeks to besmirch his official
character in return.

A DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE.

Decidedly the saltiest and most in
teresting contribution to the political
literature of the state in some time
is the reply in Sundays newspapers
of Congressman Howard of the
Eighth district to an attack that was
recently made on him by Mr.. Thos.
E. Watson. The ghost in Mr.. Wat
sons political closet is snatched to
public view, and displayed in all of
its hideousness. The letter of Mr.
Howard teens with tart talk that is
calculated to call from Mr. Watson
a bristling rejoinder Mr.. Howard
not only holds the spectre up to the
gaze of the public, but he rattles the
bones of the ghost and discloses to
the reader events of by-gone days
that bear upon the record of the man
who has forced a controversy with
him
Mr. Watson has fused and scolded
so much that it had come to be taken
as a matter of course, and little at
tention was paid to his frequent and
furious assaults; but in Congress
man Howard he has met one who can
say as much as he can, and is quite
willing to say it.

ABOUT THE TELEPHONE GIRL

she is the girl who must be con-

she can answer 225 calls a minute
without shedding a hairpin, but do
not mention that she can give you
the same wrong number three times

She must either be very patient

COUNTY FAIRS AND THE
RURAL PROBLEM.

With commendable foresight
several Georgia counties have
already announced programmes
and prospectuses of fairs for the
forthcoming autumn.
In one recent issue of The
Constitution Gordon and Put
nam counties, situated in differ
ent portions of the state, out
lined plans which will insure
splendid competitive features in
agricultural and industrial eX-
hibits generally, not to mention
numerous amusement and recre-
alton phases.
The late President Mckinley
called expOsitions the milestones
Of history.
County fairs are the mile
stones of history, so far as the
immediate locality is concerned,
as we'll as the milestones of
progress. They are also among
the best stimulators of develop
ment from the outside and in
side of which The Constitution
is aware.
Nothing could be more con-
ducive to the acceleration of
growth throughout the state
generally than county fairs held
in every county of the state each
fall, as an annual event toward
which the farmers could look
and for which they would plan.
Today the main lessons of in
dustry and agriculture revolve
around knowing your neighbor
and cooperating with your
neighbor. President Barrett of
the Farmers Union testifies that
what is most needed today in
the country is the evolving of a
community of interests and a
spirit of leadership which will
suffice to keep men on the farms
and to call deserters back to the
farm.
The county fair, planned
along intelligent and ambitious
lines, is an infallible agent in
these several directions. The
relatively small cost at which
they are projected is distributed
so widely as to be a perceptible
burden upon no single factor
Atlanta Constitution.
Thanks to the efforts of the Pre-
ressive women of Dawson and con
lunity our own county of Terre,

tanning for a county fair. TIL
armers are becoming enthused owe
he movement, and are planting wit
n eye to the competitive feature
f the fair.
Terrell county's glory lies in he
arms, and one object of the pre-
loters of the fair is to dignity tn
abor on the farm and encourage
The bold peasantry, the country
pride,
Which once destroyed can never b

In cooperation lies success, an

eachers and citizens in general ar
