SEES SIGNS OF GOOD TIMES.

Editor Mcintosh, who is always
loyal to this favored section and new
er misses an opportunity to speak
good word of it's manifold advant-
ages, sees signs of good times down
here in Southwest Georgia.
True" it says, 1.-The cotton crop
will not be quite as large as was
promised by conditions quite awhile
ago, but a better price for what they
produce will be paid the farmers.
The other crops of this section have
been abundant this year, and when
the harvest goes into the barns their
doors will be bursting. Nothing
breeds optimism like good crops, and
this was never more strikingly illus
trated than in these early days of a
new fall season. Business is fairly
humming, and the ambitious plans
of merchants, manufacturers, bank
ers, builders and those other highly
important factors in the DEVELOPMENT
of every section, boosters" are be.
ing carried forward with an enthusi-
asm which is contagious and inspir-
ing. There are evidences of prosper
ity on every hand, and it is a pros
perity which rests on a substantial
basis. The possibilities of Southwest
Georgia in the field of development,
and the charm of Southwest Georgia
as dwelling place, were slow in
gaining recognition, but now that it
has begun that recognition is coming
with rush, and the odds which were
against US have at last swung to our
side"

YOUNG GIRLS

The recent episode of a young
girl, the story of which was related
in the Albany Herald, should cause
parents to take a note.
The young girl was started from
home alone, but fell into the hands
of some very polite, kind young
man, who would assist her with her
baggage, show her the proper trains,
etc. Instead of going to her reIa-
tives she found herself in the hands
of strangers in the Dougherty coun-
ty jail.
Girls ought to be taught to be
reticent, especially toward strangers.
They ought to be kept out of the
company OF men till they are mature
in age and have been taught the
proper attitude toward them.
Once upon a time, when virtue
and chastity were common, and sto-
ries like the above were rare, girls
were not ushered into society at the
age of II, but were taught it was
improper for them to be more than
polite to men Now we find that
even at the age of ten girls and boys
are allowed to mingle as Sweet
hearts, and furnish object lessons
for parents worthy to be learned and
remembered. But, on the other hand,
the boys need guarding as we'll With
proper home training, and contact
with right influences out of home.

than with the present environments.

AGENTS OF PROSPERITY.
From the Industrial Index.

From the Industrial Index.
The daily and weekly newspapers
of Georgia and Alabama are agents
of prosperity. They constantly seek
news of evidences and results of
prosperity in the cities, towns and
sections in which they are published.
Space is devoted unsparingly and
gladly to the publication of such
news-and space is the publishers
stock-in-trade.
The investor and the home-seeker
are looking for prosperous towns and
communities, and the newspapers of
Georgia and Alabama proclaim pros
perity day after day and week after
week, thereby rendering a service of
incalculable benefit.
Their work in this particular
should be appreciated, and is by peo-
pie who are interested either patri-
otically or personally, or both, in the
upbuilding of a town or section.

A GAMBLERS TESTIMONY

l have been in the saloon business,
with a gambling room attached, for
the last four years, and claim to
know something about what I am
going to tell you. 1 do not believe
that the gambling den is near so
dangerous, nor does it do anything
like the same amount of harm, as the
social card party in the home. I give
this as my reason: In the gambling
room the windows are closed tight,
the curtains are pulled down; every
thing is conducted secretly for fear
of detectives, and none but gamblers
as rule enter there. In the home
all have access to the game; children
are permitted to watch it; young
people are invited to participate in ii,
1t is made attractive and alluring
by giving prizes, serving refresh
ments, and adding high social enjoy
ments. For my part l could never
see the difference between playing
for a piece of silver nodded in the
shape of money and silver nodded in
the shape of cup or thimble. The
principle is the same; and whenever
property changes hands over the

luck of cards, no matter how small
is the value of the prize, | believe it
is gambling. Perhaps you have ney-
er thought of it, but where do all the
gamblers come from? They are not
taught in the gambling dens. A
"greener," unless he is a fool, never
enters a gambling den, because he
knows that he will be fieeced out of
everything he possesses in less than
fifteen minutes. He has learned
somewhere else before he sets his
foot inside of such a place. When
he has played in the parlor, in the
social games of the homes, and has
become proficient enough to win the
prizes among his friends the next
step with him is to seek out the
gambling room; for he has learned,
and now counts on his efficiency to
hold his own. The saloon men and
gamblers chuckle and smile when
they read in the papers of parIor
games given by ladies. for they know
that after a while those same men
will become patrons of their bust
ness. | say, then, the parlor game
is the college where gamblers are
made and educated EXCHANGE

STEADY MARCH OF pELLAGRA.

From the Athens Banner.
The people of the United States
cannot longer shut their eyes to the
menace of pellagra. 1t is all over
the country, more prevalent in some
sections than in others, and is steadi-
ly gaining ground. The medical fra
ternity seems to be at loss as to
It's cause and as to it's treatment as
we'll. The number of deaths from
this disease is alarmingly large and
the mortality rate does not seem to
decrease.
The general belief is that it is not
a contagious or infectious disease.
and yet it is spreading rapidly in
many localities. The theory that it
is caused by the eating of mouIdy
corn has been accepted by many, but
it is not thoroughly proved by any
means. Some maintain that it is
caused by the bite of a certain kind
OF fly, but that has not been satisfac-
torily proved. Physicians will frank
ly tell you, if you inquire about it,
that they know very little about the
disease, and that the medical pro-
fession is largely baff1ed by it.
Death records are now beginning
to show not only more cases of pei
lagra than consumption, but more
deaths resulting from it than from
the great white plague. 1t is COM
ing now to be a disease more dread
ed than consumption, for it appears
to be more prevalent and the death
rate is becoming larger
Just what is to be done is hard to
say, but it is quite clear that all ply
sicians and health authorities should
! be alert and do all within their pow
er to check its march and the people
and the government should back I'D
| their efforts in every way Dossihle-

THE COST OF BEAUTY.

Beauty costs money unless it be OF
the kind that bears the superscrip-
ton of nature, and even then it needs
constant attention and care to be
retained.
But there is more to be said on the
subject, and a widely-known beauty
culturist supplies the information.
According to this authority a
woman may be beautiful on
$500 year, but it is better,
she says, and no doubt more sat
isfactory for the culturist if the
annual expense be as great as ST.
500. A reasonable amount, we are
assured, would be $1,425, thus dis
tributed: Softeners for water, in
which to battle we suppose, $500,
perfumes, 1925; powders, creams
and face lotions, 1925; mouth wash
es and tooth powders, $25; manicur-
ing, polishing the nails and chirop-
ody, $3.50; electrolysis, $3.50; face
cleaning, one treatment a week,
$3.50.
The same beauty expert tells us
that the English woman spends less
in making herself beautiful than the
French, the American or the Wen
nese, and we venture to say there
are many English husbands and
fathers who greatly rejoice in this,
Just what it costs the American
woman OF fashion to keep up her fig
ure and good looks we do not know,
but a Chicago member of the smart
set recently averred that she spent
$1,S75 year on beauty culture. Of
course, not knowing the Chicago wo-
man who says she spent $3.50 year
on face powders alone, it is impOssi-
Bile to more than surmise whether
the game was worth the candle. We
would say off-hand that the cultur-
list who could make some women look
beautiful, no matter what the price,
was capable of working miracles.
Some are beautiful by nature, some
affect beauty by artificial means and
have falsity written all over them.
The truly beautiful woman is she
who is such in mind and character
istics-in gentleness, in womanli-
ness, in tenderness, in sympathy, in
love, in feminine charms and femi-
nine purity, and the sooner the fool
freaks who pay $3.50 a year for face
powders learn this the sooner may
they begin the cultivation of those
graces without which no woman can
be beautiful even if her face and
form were an inspiration to long
haired painters and soul-melting
poets.
Beauty is only skin deep" is an
old saying. Beauty is soul deep is
a truer dictum

The Savannah Morning News said

There is talk in the Third dis

congress. Stanley himself seems
disposed to discourage the talk in
that line. We should much like

ing good congressman.
To which the Hawkinsville News

Editor Stanley is a hard worker,
and for that reason it wouldn't suit
him to be in congress, where they
do nothing much except to draw
their salaries and have a good
time. He is too valuable a news
paper man for Georgia to lose by
sending him to congress, and oppo-
ton on this account would be so
strong that it is doubtful if he
would be able to overcome it.
We endorse all of the good things
our contemporaries say of Editor
