Both acts are excellent and are making
big hit. The opinion about town Is
that the vaudeville program is about the
best ever seen at the Pavilion. OF course
this is talking rather strong, as there
have been many excellent programs seen
at that theatre, but the present program
is certainly an exceptionally good one,
nearly every number and situation IN
both acts being OF the novelty variety,
in which all the comedy points in both
acts are derived from pure skill on mu.

STEEL BRIDGES.

The commissioners of Dougherty
county are putting steel bridges
across the creeks. It's time" says
the Moultrie Observer, that the
bridges of this (Colquitt) county
were being constructed of more dur
able material" To which the Sa-
vannah News adds that cheap
bridges, like cheap roads, are mighty
poor economy Good bridges and
good roads save both time and mon
ey to the people who use them, and
who have to pay for them"
Three or four years ago Terrell
county began replacing it's wooden
bridges with steel structures, and
now practically every stream of any
Importance is spanned by a modern
bridge of concrete and iron. 1t
will be economy in the long run, as
bridge of that material will last
Indefinitely with little if any cost
for repairs, while a wooden bridge is
a source of constant expense.
Our Savannah contemporary COM
mends the consideration of steel and
concrete to those county commission
ers who have bridge propositions be-
fore them, and at the same time
throws in the suggestion that
they build the bridges big and strong
enough to carry trolley lines, for lit
isn't going TO be great while" it
says, before the rural districts of
this section will be gridironed with
trolley roads

THE RrRAL MAI. CARRIER.

The rural mail carriers of Terrell
county, and throughout the country
will soon receive additional pay OF
500 a year. Congress having recent
ly voted to increase their compensa-
ton to $1,000. In this connection
the Atlanta Constitution editorially
pays a deserved tribute to these
worthy and faithful public servants.
1t says:
When it is considered that these
men have to provide convey
ance and two horses, and main
tain the latter, it is apparent that
no very impressive amount OF
their salaries remains to supply
the necessaries of life for them
selves and their families
The rural carrier plays role
in our modern civilization little
understood by the resident of the
city. Riding back and forth, ey-
cry day, over his route of twenty
four or more miles he keeps the
man far distant from the railroad
in practically as intimate touch
with the worlds life as the city
dweIler.
He is the antidote to isolation.
the forerunner of education, the
accelerator of social activity, the
friend of true political progress,
and the enemy of the demagogue,
since he is the eyangel of the
newspaper.
The discharge of this task the
year round, under blazing suns
and through rains and sleet and
snow, is mans size job. 1t is
worth a good deal more than the
government pays for it, making
allowance even for the latest in
crease.

WHAT'S THE NATTER?

We are about convinced that the
business men of Dawson do not want
a Board of Trade. A few weeks ago
there were numerous and repeated
requests for The News to urge the
organization of commercial body,
which we did to the best OF our abil-
ity in several issues and then offered
to contribute $50 toward the sup
port of such an organization one
year, at the same time stating that
the time had come for all who were
interested in the movement to let
their money talk for them. Since
then the subject has been mentioned
by only two men, and they made no
signs of IoOsening their grip on their
wallets. The News offer of $50 to-
ward the support of live and effect
i've Board of Trade in Dawson is still
open if the business men and prop
erty owners of the city are interest
ed and care to join in a movement
that would be of great benefit to all.

COLLEGES IN BIG CITIIls.

The News does not understand
why some people want to locate ey-
cry new institution of learning Of
more than local pretensions in big
city. and why some church people
even are so anxious to move their
universities from the smaller towns
to larger cities. Can it be the lure
of the coin? 1t is a matter Of fact
that in the larger cities there are
many more temptations than are en-
countered in the smaller places. Es-
pecially is this true of the whiskey
traffic, which is carried on more or
less openly; there are the semi-pub-
lie places where the drink-mizer
knows how to concoct mint julep'
with its enticing aroma, and the sill
yer gin fizz" that tickles the palate
and sends a glow of exhilaration
from head to toe. There is the gath
ering of the 'congenial bunch, ="
where yarns are spun, stories told
and ribald jest runs riot.
1t seems to The News that the
smaller town is best for the callow
youth, for there the rum devil is not
so rampant and the social evil
does not lure with it's lights and mu-
sic when the stars are out and the
blood is running riot. 1t seems to us
there is too much striving to estab-
fish great centers, where much mon
ey makes for power, and we are los
ing sight of the value of the simple
life and freedom from vice in the
formation of character and the de-
velopment of sturdy manhood.

HooKwoRM NoN-sEC10NAL.

A dispatch sent out from Atlanta
in regard to last weeks ''hookworm
convention" in that city to discuss
ways and means of graduating the
enemy found prevalent in 1873 of
the 145 counties vi Georgia" con-
tanned this important statement:
Reports were made to the con-
ference that the hookworm is not
confined to the southern states,
but is prevalent as well in New
York, Washington and other
northern cities, as borne out by
statistics already compiled.
The Macon Telegraph trusts that
these statistics showing the non-sec-
tional disposition of the hookworm
are complete and convincing, and
that they will be widely published
in the North as we'll as in the South.
In the former section it is currently
reported and generally believed that
the hookworm malady is a lazy dis
ease peculiar to the Southern states
and such misunderstanding is not
TO be wondered at in view of the
appeal to Mr. Rockefeller in behalf
Of two million Southern sufferers
and the sensation created by his gift
of one million dollars, or so cents
for the benefit of each of the alleged
Southern cuffprnrc
1t is important, as the Telegraph
says, to make it known to the people
of the United States that this par
ocular disease is confined to no Sec
ton or class, and that it is the re-
suit of bodily or other conditions
that may be found or may develop
anywhere. 1T is important that
the facts should be known because
the Southern states have suffered Sc
rious damage, commercially and 9TH
erwise, as result of the hookworm
stories that have been published
throughout the United States, al
ways combining the affection to
Southern territory

His Own Fault.

From Greensboro Herald-Journal.
There is no more reason why a
person, firm or organization should
ask for free advertising space in a
newspaper than they should go
into a store and ask the merchant
to give them free any article that
they might select from his stock
OF goods.-West Point News.
Don't blame the public. 1t has
been educated to believe it is All
right to ask and expect too much of
country newspaper. The printer
has permitted himself imposed upon.
and it is all his own fault. The aver
age person doesn't know what if
costs to set type or print a news
paper. If a publisher hasn't anv
more business sense or backbone
than to be imposed upon, why let
MIN go ahead and be imposed upon,

THE WHITE MANS BURDEN.
ON the Savannah Press.

From the Savannah Press.
No people ever went through
so dark a day as the Southern
people when they were called up
on. to deal with the question
whether they would submit to
what was then the intention of
legislation of congress, that by
enfranchising the blacks and dis
franchising many whites their
government should be surrender
ed to the ignorant blacks. | want
to say TO the senator that if south
ern people had not heroically con-
tended and battled for white su-
premacy in the south had they
not subordinated all else to that
issue, civilization. would have
been destroyed in the south, the
poison would have speedily affect
ed the whole body polite, and it
would have been but a short time
before civilization would have
been practically destroyed in the
whole American nation.-Senator
Bacon of Georgia.
Senator Bacon has stated the case
none too strongly. The South has
had something more than the white
mans burden to bear. Situated be-
tween the mongrels of Mexico and
the fanatics of the northeast we
have had to stand up under the
weight of hostile invasion and of a
more hostile sentiment. That the
Southern states are not today like
Mexico and Cuba and the states of
Central America is largely because
OF the heroic measures which have
been adopted in its present high po-
sition before the world. Had the
South become Mexicanized or Afri-
canized it is only a question of time
before the north must follow, so
that our burdens and our victory
have been national. We have not
only preserved the South, but, like
Oglethorpe when he beat back the
invasion into Florida, we
have preserved the north and the
whole country for all time.

Farmers Should Demand That Slaughter Of Birds Cease

mer by destroying insects that dam
age the crops. The investigators
have lately given to the world the
fact that the partridge is the great
est known enemy of the boil wee
vii, and here we are threatened with
this pest to the cotton crop and yet
allowing one agency of it's destruc-
ton exterminated. 1t is not hard
to find men in this state whose faith
ers remember when the wild pig
cons came by the millions. That
has not been long, and today there
is said TO be but one lone wild pig
con in this country. The senseless
slaughter of the birds has done the
work. This matter is serious enough
for the lawmakers to take hold of
it and do something to protect the
birds-we should, at least, enforce
the laws already passed for their
protection.

EDITOR JONES LEARNS.

Mr.. w. V. Jones, who became edi-
tor and publisher of the Schley
County News six weeks ago, has al
ready learned that it takes consider
able money, much labor and sCme
grit and perseverance to keep a coun-
try newspaper going, something that
very few people seem to know. In
his last issue he said
On January 18th l assumed
charge of the News, and while not
an experienced writer or newspa-
per man | have endeavored to
make a few improvements. 1t is
a regrettable fact that the average
person has no more knowledge of
the hard work and the money re-
quired to publish a good weekly
paper than did Adam, the first
man, and consequently we do not
receive the support that should
be accorded US. A weekly news
paper is the cheapest thing on the
top side of Gods green earth con-
sidering the amount of labor re-
CURED and money expended in
publishing it.
1t is a fact that for the capital in
vested and the amount of labor and
energy expended no other business
brings as small returns as publish
ing a country newspaper.

While Mr.. Barrett, the president
of the Farmers Union, in his letter
to the cotton farmers respecting the
boil weevil states no new fact nor
suggests a new remedy for the boil
weeviI evil it is timely and will have
beneficial effect. There is nothing
new to be said about the boil wee
vii and there are no new means for
fighting the insect, but there is a
great work to be done in this state
in the next year or two in arousing
the farmers to the need of prepar-
ing for its coming. And that is the
purpose of President Barrett's let
ter. 1t is to warn the farmers to get
ready to fight it.

HOW HE WOULD DO IT.
From a Western Newspaper,

From Western Newspaper.
At this writing we have no desire
to leave this vale of tears and hurl
ourself upon Abraham's bosom,
but if we should desire to do so we
would not lean up against a loaded
gun and then pull the trigger, as
many do. Neither would we eat
rough on rats, blow out the gas,
drink concentrated lye, sit down in
the lap of buzz-saw, smoke cigar
cites or call Kentuckian a liar or
poor Judge of whiskey. We would
simply get out an edition of our pa
per in which we would strive to the
best OF our ability to print the plain
unvarnished truth as we understand
It, and then calmly await the end.

Why don't the farmers rise up in
their might and demand that the
slaughter of the birds in this coun-
try shall stop? A few days ago the
papers of this state carried dis
patch stating that in one community
in this state the doves had been
baited-and that is a violation of
law-and that hundreds of them
had been killed in a day, and the
season of this sort of slaughter had
just begun, The dispatch went on
to say that in that section the part
ridges had been so reduced in num-
Der that in a few years they would
at the present rate of slaughter be
extinct. And this is the case in we'll
nigh every part of the state. Time
and again the statistics have been
printed showing the value Of the
birds in what they save to the far
