MIR. sMITH,s SUGGESTIONS.

In so far as they relate to holding
the state election and the date of
the meeting of the legislature and
inauguration of the governor the
changes in the affairs of the state
proposed by Governor-elect Smith are
worthy of careful consideration. At
first thought they seem to be based
on good reasons, and they may so
seem after thorough consideration.
In any reasonable and feasible
plan to put the state on a sounder
financial basis Mr.. Smith should
have hearty and non-partisan sup
port. Having served a term as gov
ernor he has been hampered by an
emTty treasury, and knows the
weakness of the existing system.
Changes that are shown to be for
the best interests of the state, no
matter by whom proposed, should
be adopted.

FROM A CITIZEN.
Writes to Commend The News Eff
forts for Board of Trade.


Editor of The News: You can
not be too strongly commended for
your editorials of recent date advo-
eating the organization of a Board
of Trade in Dawson. The time for To-
eating all industries in North GeOr-
gia has passed, and capitalists ey-
erywhere are turning their eyes to-
ward the richest section in the
South to make their investments.
They are men of brain and have
wonderfully keen insight into all
. things pertaining to business. What
is Dawson doing to attract the at
tentiOn of the outside world to the
rich resources of her territory? I'm
less we are aggressive and offer in
ducements to capital we will never
have the enterprise that is justly
due this section.
For instance, it is reported that
peanut oil mill is to be located
somewhere in South Georgia. There
is not section anywhere that could
better support such an industry, and
in case we are invaded by the dread
boil Weevil we would have a mar
ket for one of the substitute crops
that we WOulu D6 lOEC6O TO ADOPT.
But in our present condition how
could we hope to secure this or any
other enterprise? Whose business is
it to interest themselves in such an
undertaking? The truth is, we are
disOrganized; we are divided. This
sad state of affairs is not due to a
lack of good business men, either.
We have these in abundance, and
what we need to develop the richest
section in the South is concert of
action on the part of these good
business men.
This can be done only through
live Board of Trade 1t can be
neglected and we will continue in
our state of lethargy while our sis
ter towns will be growing in popu-
lation and wealth. Those who
contribute even indirectly to the
development of their section will
find their properties have advanced
in value, and they will have a richer
field in which to carry on their bust
ness.
The need of Board of Trade for
Dawson and this section has never
been so great as now. We hope,
Mr.. Editor, that you will continue
to agitate this matter in your paper
till you meet with the success you
so richly deserve in arousing US to
our duty. ]. C.. D.

EVER THINK ABOUT TT?

Change a mans circumstances
and the betting chances are ten to
one that there is a corresponding
change in his opinions on various
matters and things.
Let a rich man become suddenly
poor and a poor man suddenly rich
and there will be two new men, in
all but exceptional cases. Change
the point of view, and there will be
new views. 1t is safe to say that the
socialism of almost any socialist can
be obliterated by giving him COM
Portable share of this worlds goods
and making him director in several
sound institutions. This does not
seem to account for the socialists
who are already wealthy, but up-
doui'tedly their socialistic ideas
would as promptly evapOrate if they
were to lose their wealth. They
would then have to get so busy earn
ing an honest living that they would
have no time for theories.

CONCENTRATING BRANTLEY.

Congressman Brantley is being
generally and heartily congratulated
upon his selection as a member OF
the new Ways and Means Commit
tee the most important committee
of Congress. His selection is view
ed as not only a vindication of his
position in the tariff fight, but also
looks good for the people OF South
Georgia. who have stood UP to him
in spite of the attacks made upon
him by those who did not want to
see him go on the Ways and Means
Committee, and who wanted him
DenaIized for the vote he cast on
the rules question year ago, when
he and a number of other democrats
refused to join with the insurgent
republicans. The action Of these
men. who were then made victims
of a deluge of abuse and misrepre-
sentation, was completely vindicated
a few days ago, when the democrats
voted almost solidly to sustain
the Speaker on a point that involved
practically the identical question
that caused the revolution, as it
has since been called by some who
were instrumental in bringing it
about
AS a member of the Ways and
Means Committee Mr. Brantley will
be a power when the time comes,
just after the end of the present
session, for beginning the considera-
ton of the new tariff bill.

KEEP POLITICIANS AT HOME.

On February 7th the train of the
State College of Agriculture, similar
to the one which toured Georgia in
1908, though on a more extensive
scale, will start from Athens upon
an expedition through practically
every county in Georgia. 1t will be
a college on wheels going forth to
meet the people, and carrying fresh
ideas to the farmers very threshold.
This agricultural train will con-
Bist of seven coaches. One will be
equipped for the carriage of some
fifteen farm animals, cows, hogs,
sheep and poultry, and will be
adjoined by a fiat car to which this
live stock may be led for exhibition.
Another car will be devoted to farm
machinery and appliances, another
to fertilizer exhibits and soil and
dairy demonstrations In still an
other model farm buildings and les
shown. The last two coaches will
be given over to the passengers.
If too many of the latter are not
professional politicians and office
seekers. who are always out to farm
the farmer and invariably mOnopo-
lie everything that is begun in the
interest of the public, as was the
case two years ago, the possibilities
of the new college on wheels" for
good can scarcely be estimated The
states greatest material interests will
be quickened and the way to its fu-
ture prosperity broadened Keep
the politicians in the background
or, better still, at homeland let the
people hear from those who can talk
to them intelligently and instruct
lively on the best methods of farming
and kindred subjects.

CONSOLIDATING THE ELECTIONS
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
There can be no doubt that the
proposition that the October election
be consolidated with that of Novem-
Der is a good one The reason for
the state election being held sepa-
rate from that of the November cleo
tion no longer exists, and the com
plant is general that now we have
too many elections. If we can get
rid of one of them without injury
to any important interest there is
no reason why we shouldn't do so.
1t seems to us that the proposed
change stands very good chance of
Delng received with general favor.

Then and Now.
From the Valdosta Times.

From the Valdosta Times.
Governor-elect Smith is out in a
statement telling some things that
are needed in Georgia. Among them
he thinks the governor ought to be
empowered to borrow 100000 to
meet current expenses between Au-
gust and tax-gathering time. Last
year, when the treasury was not as
well off as it is now, Hoke was show
ing where there was a surplus of
100000, and he and his organ were
ridiculing Little Joe" Brown be-
cause he suggested about what Hoke
suggests now The Journal flung
several fits because such a thing was
dreamed of in time of peace"

School Teachers and Newspapers.

School Teachers and Newspapers.
From the Triton Gazette.
In another column the Gazette re-
produces a complaint from the Nash
vile Herald that the public school
teachers of Berrien county do not
read their county paper. Is it a fact
that country teachers, as a rule, do
not read the local papers? The Ga
zette has noticed it often in the past
years, and although we have no per-
sonal complaint to make we have
found the school teacher who reads
the local paper the exception and not
the rule. Yet no man or woman is
well informed who does not regular
ly read their local paper. 1t is true
that under our poor state school sys-
TEN large majority of our teachers
come from other states, and have lit
tie local interest in the communities
which are only their temporary
homes. More the pity that this is
the case. Yet the country papers in
Georgia are the ones who have work
ed hardest to bring about better
educational laws and improve the
situation for the poorly paid and
little appreciated school teacher.
Notably the Herald has worked long
and earnestly for local free school
system for Berrien county. 1t is
matter of regret that those most vi
tally interested do not show more ap-
probation of it's efforts.

The People Must Wake Tn.

From the Darien Gazette.
The great obstacle in the way of
Georgia's progress is the law-break-
er, and the people ought to know il
by this time. Because Georgia is
no worse than other states is no ex-
cuse for allowing the laws to be
pushed aside at will. And we are
not going to have it any better until
the good people of Georgia wake M
to the situation, The people can
remedy the matter whenever thew
get good and ready.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SOUTH
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
There is no doubt that the country
was surprised when the president
made southerner and former con-
federate soldier chief justice and
nominated another southern demo-
crat for associate justice of the SUI
preme court. But there is no indi-
cation that any part of the country
became indignant or frightened.
Forty years ago such appointments
would have been inconceivable
Twenty years ago a republican presi-
dent would hardly have dared to
make them Even today, although
a president of almost any persuasion
might feel free to disregard sectional
lines in appointing to such high
places, to cross party lines so freely
is not so common, and it is doubtful
if any republican president we have
yet had would have been, under the
circumstances, drawn so strongly
southwark as President Taft was.
His freedom from partisanship and
his disregard of sectional feeling are
both rather striking. Perhaps his
own experience on the bench, and
his clearly announced position on
federal judgships, sufficiently explain
the former. His attitude toward the
south can be explained only by a
deliberate purpose, formed either
before his election or very soon after
it, and firmly adhered to. For he
has apparently determined to do all
that he can do consistently with his
other duties to make the south like
the rest of the country, and to make
it feel itself like the rest of the
country in it's relations to the nation
al government. For awhile politi-
clans naturally supposed that his
sole object was to make gains in the
south for his party, and that, no
doubt, does seem to him a thing en-
tirely> desirable. But such gains as
his party had made in that quarter
were practically wiped out by the
recent elections. 1t will not have
another chance for two years to
come. Yet the president goes on
treating the south just as he did in
the beginning. His really controll-
ing motive in this matter is that of
statesman, not politician.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

From the Utica IN. W Globe.
In days of old when man would
feed he followed out a simple creed
by reaching for trusty club and
starting out in search of grub. And
when he'd lamp lowing kline he'd
below out that bird is mine" and
then he'd nick her on the dome and
drag her gaily to his home, where
wiley In a dozen shakes would start
to building juicy steaks But that
was in the bygone days, and since
then things have changed their ways.
SO now when man desires his eats
he has to pull lot of feats.
He saunters in beefsteak home,
mental nabs his polished dome, an
other with financial care slides his
person in a chair; a dozen dinges
bow and scrape and twist themselves
in awful shape, until he gets his
order in and starts to feeling for his
tin. At length they usher in the
beef, surrounded by parsley reef and
other herbs both fat and green-O,
yes, the steak is hardly seen And
then he grabs his silver tools and
eats and drinks by standard rules
until the tiny steak is gone And
then he puts his street buds on, tips
each fiat-foot in the place, but hun
CRY still-that is the case.
o, would the ancient days were
here, when man slew dog or cat or
deer, and did it with a right good
will, and ate until he'd had his fill.
Q, those were good old days of old
when walters had no mits for gold
and man fell to with reaping knives
and were assisted by their wives;
when no man played a --latest air, -
and man got free and kept his hair.
