HON. }. T.. KNIGHT.

The announcement for congress of
Hon. John p Knight of Berrien
county appears in this issue of The
News
Mr. knight has served three terms
in the lower house of the Legislature
and one in the senate, and will be
remembered as a leading advocate
of state prohibition and as opposing
vigorously the present convict sys-
TEN that is fast bankrupting the
counties and depriying the state of
needed revenue.
The News has known him a num-
Der of years, and while not always
agreeing with him on men and meas
ures is glad to testify that he is a
man of sincerity of purpose and has
the courage of his convictions.
Moreover, he is of exemplary char
acter and energetic and aggressive,
and as the representative of the peo-
pie at Washington would be watchful
of their interests.

TAPERING OFF.
N the Macon Telegram.

From the Macon Telegram.
The earnest and diligent booze
fighter is firm in the belief that when
he does want to quit it is necessary
to quit by slow degrees. This inter-
esting process is called tapering off
If he is used to drinking five gallons
day he decides to cut down the
amount by a quart today, another
quart tomorrow, and so on until he
] is down to hydrant water and fresh
air. The superstition is that his ner-
vous system will go all to pieces un-
less he jollies it along after that fash
ion, and fools it into the belief that
| 1t Is getting all that is coming to it.
If man ever quit drinking by the
tapering off process he should furnish
his name and address, and he will
hear of something to his advantage.
Any respectable museum will be glad
to pay him a salary. That plan is
merely fooling with the buzz-saw.
| The way to quit is to quit; to stop
short, never go again, as in the case
| of grandfather clock. When that
scheme is adopted the experimenter
finds that his nervous system is as
glad as he is. 1t hasn't a hat, or
it would throw it up for joy. The
nervous system is too often used as
an excuse for a few more drinks;
if it could speak for itself it would
bow to the audience and explain that
the few more drinks make it savage
and ugly and stir it up to mutiny
The fellow who wants to quit the
whole fool business of drinking won
stand chewing the rag with John
BarleycOrn, or lecturing about his
nervous system. He will simply shy
at every suspicious looking bottle
he sees.

HON. $. A. RODDENBERY.

Hon. S. A Roddenbery of Thomas
county makes formal announcement
of his candidacy for congress in this
issue of The News, and asks the sup
port of the voters in the primary cleo
ton of February 10th. His card was
received too late to appear among
the other announcements for that
office, which are printed in another
section of the paper.
Mr.. Roddenbery is well-known
throughout the district, and his views
on questions that have been promi-
nently before the people are famil-
lar to them.
Easy to approach, of bright and
active mind and an aggressive cam
paigner he has friends in every part
of the district who will give him
loyal support, and that he will be
q factor in the contest there is no
reason to doubt.
The News has never been a sup
porter of Mr.. Roddenbery in his con-
gressional aspirations, but it is moth
ing but just to say that should the
honor fall on him he will give his
best thought and energies to the ser
vice of the people.

One of the scientists connected
with the Department of Agriculture
solemnly declares that the high cost
of living has come about because we
eat too much. There are many Of
us who can prove an alabi but it
must be admitted that we Americans
as people are no longer content
with the simple food that suficed
our ancestors. No longer does the
family sit down to the old-fashioned
boiled dinner made up from the
smokehouse and the products of the
home garden, nOurishing and pal
atable yet inexpensive diet Many
of the modern housewives are much
more familiar with the can opener
than with the boiling pot and stew
pan.

EARLY PRIMARIES.

In Berrien county, the home of
Hon. j. P. knight and in Grady, one
of the home" counties of Hon. S. A.
Roddenbery, primaries to nominate
county officers have been called for
February 10th, the date of the con-
gressional primary, the purpose Of
these early elections being to get out
big vote for the above mentioned
gentlemen.
The News is utterly Indifferent as
to when Berrien and Grady counties
shall hold their primaries, not being
in the least concerned. But what a
difference, my countrymen, in the at
titude of these esteemed candidates.
A few, very few, short years ago
these gentlemen were lifting up their
voices loud and often in fierce de-
nunciation of early primaries, SNAP
judgment, etc, ETC., that the bad
politicians and office-holding and
office-seeking rascals in Georgia were
alleged to have been responsible for
in disregard of the peoples rights
and interests 1t has been our OBJ
servation for a long while that it is
a difficult thing to be consistent in
politics long at a time.

MIR MERCER MITHDRAWs.

The News prints a card elsewhere
in which Hon. John R. Mercer an
nounces his retirement from the race
for congress.
That Mr.. Mercer would have given
a good account of himself in the
primary on February 10th if he had
continued in the race there is no
doubt. He had many assurances of
support, especially from farmers and
business men, from every part of the
district, and every mail brought en-
couraging reports of his prospects
for election. But with so many can
didates in the field, and under ex-
listing conditions, of which all are
aware. he does not think it would be
just to himself or his friends to con-
tinue in the contest.
Mr. Mercer is an active, broad
minded, progressive man who loves
his fellowmen irrespective of what
their station in life may be. AS a
private citizen he has done much for
his county and section, and will con-
tinue to be just as useful and help
full as a worker and sympathizer
among the people in their every
day affairs as any man will be in
congress.

SCALES. THE spECuLATOR.

1t is said that Mr. Eugene Scales
lost $6,000,000 in the recent tumble
of cotton prices. Whether he be
done up" or not he undoubtedly put
money in the pockets of southern cot
ton growers before he turned loose
his holdings. Scales is probably not
a philanthropist, and in conducting
his exploits he was likely actuated by
a desire to make money for himself
and his business associates. All the
same, though. his methods meant ad-
vanced prices for spot cotton as long
as he had nerve and resources to
hold the market up, and that helped
the south. Therefore, it is not inap-
propriate by any means that the south
shall feel appreciation for what Mr.
Scales has done for cotton. More
over, he made game fight; and all
the world admires q game fighter,
and there is sympathy for him when
he loses.

THE AERoPLANE IN WAR.

At Los Angeles the other day an
aviator in an aeroplane flying 100
feet above the surface of the earth
dropped dummy bombs into small
squares. This, il is alleged, is an
illustration of the fact that an aero
plane could be used to drop live
bombs upon the head of an army with
accuracy. But the Savannah News
doesn't think that in these days Of
sharpshooters and long distance
rifles the flying machine will ever be
a success as an implement of war.
1t SAYS: What chance would an
aeroplanist 100 feet, or 500 feet, or
1000 feet up in the air have against
sharpshooters armed with Springfield
rifles sighted for a mile range. There
are any number of marksmen in the
regular army and in the volunteers
who can hit a regulation bullseye at
1000 yards five times in ten shots
and come within two or three feet
of it the other FIVE times. An aero
pianist only 100 yards up would have
mighty small chance against that sort
of gun fire from a squad. and if he
were much higher and going at
rapid pace he couldn't drop his bombs
with any sort of accuracy. However,
we hope it will be very long time
before there will be any of that sort
of wing shooting"

At the inception of what promises
to be a year of political contests of
exceptionally active and exciting ma
ture it is in order to counsel modera-
ton and fairness, no matter how as
citizens and individuals we may diff
fer. 1t is a free country and men
have the right to support anyone
they may see fit, and the man will do
wrong who because of differences of
opinion either loses his temper or
impugns the motives, the intelligence
or the public spirit of any one who
holds opposite views. Stand up like
a man for your own preferences, but
don't think that the man on the 9TH
er side is any less honest, intelligent
and patriotic than you are.

Hard Times For Newspapers.

From the Triton Gazette.
Despite what is called a prosper
Gus season in this section many news
papers, even in some towns where
there is no opposition, are suspend
ing publication. If the truth were
known there are probably many 9TH
ers, even in the larger towns and
cities, that are not making money,
and even some that are being pub
lished at loss. The reason for this
is that during the past five years
the cost of living for the editor and
his family and employees has doubled;
the cost of his material has almost
doubled, his labor costs twice as
much, and every expense has been
correspondingly increased. To offset
this there has been no increase in
the subscription price, and very lit
tie advance of charges for adver-
Using and printing. The difference
between five years ago and now has
to come out of the publishers pocket.

The News said last week that the
action of the district executive com
mittee in placing an assessment of
$4,000 upon the candidates for con-
gress would keep any poor man who
might have aspirations in that direc-
ton from making the race, and since
then a good deal of criticism has
been directed at the committee. 1t
is to be hoped that this assessment
will not be taken as a precedent in
the future

At the urgent request of business
men and citizens of Valdosta Hon. C.
G. Brantley has resigned the position
he held in the state house as one of
Governor Browns secretaries and re-
turned to Valdosta to again become
editor of The Times. Mr.. Brantley
is one of Georgia's most conservative
and best newspaper men, and The
News believed at the time he made
mistake when he gave up his news
paper work to take a political posi-
ton. We heartily welcome his re-
turn to the fold, and congratulate
him and the people of Valdosta and
Lowndes county.

Congressman w. G. Brantley of
the Eleventh district has been APP
pointed to the place on the ways and
means committee that became vacant
by the death of Judge Griggs. This
is high compliment to Mr.. Brantley,
and a recognition of his value as a
representative that is pleasing to his
friends all over the state, espe-
cially in this section. He was al
ready on two of the most important
committees of the house-the judi
ciary, and public buildings and
grounds. To be a member of the
three most important committees of
congress is a distinction that very
few enjoy.

about cotton next spring The av-
erage yield last year was only 1916
pounds of lint per acre; three
years ago it was POP pounds per
