PLANT TREES BY ALL MEANS.

PLANT Trees for Posterity." 1t is
wise and timely counsel, for he who
plants a tree, whether shade or fruit,
renders a material service to his fell
bowman. In this connection is called
to mind a old story. An aged man
was planting trees. A young man
passing by halted and looked with
mingled curiosity and pity at the old
toiler and said: '"Old man, you are
foolish. Why give your time and
labor to planting those trees? You'll
be dead and gone before they fur
nish shade or bear fruit" The old
man stopped digging and raised up
to look at his questioner a. moment,
and then he made answer: Per
haps I will, and it's all right. Sup
pose no one had planted trees before
I came?"
In a material and moral sense we
should all feel bounden to plant trees
for posterity. Those who are to come
after us will rest under the shade
and enjoy the fruit even as we in
our time have done. Walking amidst
the majestic trees and nesting be-
meath their shade educates the soul,
stimulates thought, and leads US
nearer to our creator. The fight we
make for the right, the effort we put
forth to be helpful to our kind, is
tree planting in the moral sense
encouraging each generation to try
and do little more for humanity
than its predecessor did.
The Dawson Woman's Club will
observe Thanksgiving Day, next
Thursday, November 2Sth, as tree
planting day, and will plant pecan
trees on the public school grounds
and in bare places in the city wher-
ever permission is given if trees
can be obtained. 1t is an example
that should be followed by our 200
pie generally, and on that day thous-
ands of trees should be planted in
Dawson and Terrell county.
Trees beautify the earth, and add
to the pleasure of living. They are
natures adornment, and their pres
ence is so satisfying, so restful, so
charming that we wonder that men
of culture or refinement care to live
without them.
To the thoughtful it should not be
necessary to urge tree planting.

From the Dublin Dispatch.
Roosevelt and Taft congratulated
Governor Wilson over his election by
the voters of the United States as
the next president. Note the differ
ence in the two messages:
Roosevelt to Wilson: The Ameri-
can people by great plurality
have conferred upon you the highest
honor in their gift, l congratulate
you thereon"
Taft to Wilson: II cordially con-
graduate you on your election and
extend to you my best wishes for a
successful administration"
The telegram sent by President
Taft contained three less words, but
his expressions are so much more
cordial, as he is superior to Roose-
welt in character and in ability.
One is from an egotist with small
and narrow brain, and the other is
from a broad-minded statesman.

THE ADVANCE IN FARMING.

In no other line of activity IN nc
industry. have there been such reVo-
1utionary changes as in agriculture
From 2 hit-or-miss, makeshift oc-
cpna+ion in which at best the farmer
made a bare subsistence and hung
on until he could secure something
hotter or else remained stolidly or
indirerently plodding along the same
road. farming has become a highly
organized and commercialized bust
ness. based on the application Of sci
entifc principles.
AS great as has been the advance
ment of agriculture here in South
west Georgia the past few years it is
10 the great farm sections Of the
Northwest that we must look for the
best examples of commercialized
farming. Farming in the Dakotas,
Montana and Idaho is being conduct
ad on a large commercial scale and 1t
is not uncommon to see a farm or
thousand acres being ploWed and
planted in one season by modern, sci
entifc methods. Great traction en-
gines capable of blowing forty acres
a day are employed to make COM
mercial farming easy and lucrative
Machinery does the seeding and the
planting and machinery reaps the
harvest. Modern scientific meth
DDS have smoothed the way of the
tiller of the soil.
The development of the land into
corn and cotton and grain fields,
orchards and pastures is largely
matter Of mathematical calculation
and wise business investment. This
has not been accomplished without
a great deal of work on the part OF
the men who have-for profit, it is
true-been laboring to bring about
the scientific change in farm meth

THE JEFFERSON HOME.

Congressman jefferson Monroe
Levy of New York city is the owner
of Monticello, the fine old colonial
mansion in Virginia which was the
home of Thomas Jefferson. The man
sion has been a possession of the
Levy family for 80 years, and the
present owner takes the greatest
pride in it, He maintains it in per-
feet repair, and so far as possible
has it furnished with the original
possessions of the writer of the Dec
laration of independence. With his
own money Mr.. Levy has purchased
nearly 1000 acres of ground and has
restored the original Jefferson estate
as nearly as possible. The grave of
Mr.. Jefferson, which is beside the
long private road leading to the man
sion, is protected by a neat fence and
the small monument is appropriately
inscribed. Mr.. Levy makes Monticel-
10 his home, though he dwells most
of the time in New York. But wheth-
er absent or present he sees to it
that well trained colored servants
are always at hand to welcome the
0.O00 visitors who come annually
to the place. He loves the place be-
cause it is his home, because of it's
historic interest and because of the
charm of it's surroundings.
Mrs. Martin w. Littleton, wife of
Congressman Littleton, is the prime
mover in a very active and persistent
propaganda for the purchase of Mon
ticello by the United States govern
ment and it's preservation as ma
tional possession as is Mount Vernon,
the home of General Washington.
Backing her movement are many OF
the leading men of the country, in
Guiding representatives and senator's.
She says Mr.. Levy must sell. He
declares he will not and says there
is no way to compel him to sell. The
price is no consideration, for he says
he has been offered 100000 for
the place, which is much more than
il is worth. It's sentimental value to
him, he says, is beyond mere money.
Mrs. Littleton tells Mr.. Levy he has
the chance of becoming one of the
most honored men of the nation or
one of the most odous. But Mr..
Levy doesn't care for Mrs. Littleton's
valuation of him or her judgment OF
public opinion He merely wishes to
be left in peaceful possession of his
home.
But the fight is on, and will be
watched with greater interest as II
progresses.

ThoughtIeSS!
From Leslie's Weekly.

A single thoughtless word may
wreck human life. A single gentle
word may save a suffering soul.
The presidential campaign has
closed at last. What bitterness of
personal feeling it has developed!
What harshness of criticism and I'M
kindness of comment! Has any one
profited by magnifying personal
grievances into questions OF national
concern? Haven't we belittled and
shamed ourselves before all the ma
lions of the world?
Now that it is all over what can
be said in eXtenuation of such a
campaign of thoughtless utterances?
The spoken word remains. 1t can be
recalled and forgiven, but it cannot
be forgotten. 1t is like an evil deed
it stands forever
Regulations have been ruined
promising prospects blasted, hopes
destroyed and fortunes lost by a word
carelessly spoken. Even shrug of
the shoulders may imperil reputa-
ton.
1t is not strange that with all the
words so carelessly spoken by public
men, by writer's of reputation in our
magazines and by editors of our most
popular newspapers the people have
been brought to a state of extraordi-
nary unrest, unhappiness and grave
disquiet. Is it surprising that relig-
ion languishes, that the church is
challenged and Divine authority
questioned as never before? What
else could be expected?
This is the vaudeville age of the
worlds history" said the Rev. DR..
Mark A. Mathews of Seattle, modera-
tor of the Presbyterian church. He
added: 1--WE have forgotten the seri-
Gus and better things for the straws
anc bubbles of life" Where shall
we put the blame? What shall we
dc to bring a thoughtess people back
to their senses? These cOnstitu e
the serious questions of the day
We are mistaking mutiny for indie
pendence undertaking for progress
and yellow journalism for fearless
press. Demagogues are masquerade
ing in the garments of statesmen and
the clamor of their noisy followers
has drowned the voice of Reason
The red flag of anarchy heads the
procession and dynamite is substitute
ed for Justice. The constitution is
challenged, law defied and judges are
threatened with recall and removal If
they dare face the crazy mob
If this nation is to live the good
citizens of the land must awaken
speedily and courageously to the per-
Torrance of the patriotic duty that
lies before them. The gospel of true
liberty must be taught at the altar
OF every family circle and preached
in every Office and workshop. Re
spect for the constitution of the
fathers, obedience to the law of the
land, even-handed Justice for all
right living and right thinking must
be zealously taught.
And we should also teach, with
unsparing severity, that never, in
haste, anger or maleVolence, should
false witness against a neighbor be
permitted to go unchallenged and
unrebuked

BED BUGS AND DISEASE.

Beware of bed bugs!
It is now shown by scientists that
this pest transmits disease, so that in
addition to being an annoyance to the
thrifty housewife it becomes a real
menace to health. The fact that
the bed bug is an agent of transmits
sion of bubonic plague was not
known to the English-speaking world
until recently. Clothing and bed
clothes which are soiled with mate
rial from infected insects can serve
during a long time as a source OF
infection. All of which reminds us
that
''The junebug has golden wings,
The lightning bug a flame;
The bed bug has no wings.
But gets there just the same.

Party harmony again reigns in

Atlanta Constitution of Editor James
r. Gray of the Atlanta Journal for
a place in President Wilson's cab

gusta contemporaries, The News has
seldom been on the same side OF
the political fence with Editor Gray,
but we can testify to his ability, his
fighting qualities and the good work
he did for Mr.. Wilson's nomination
and election. Mr.. Gray is eminently
qualified for place in the cabinet
and his appointment would be an
honor worthily bestowed.

The announcement by Senator
Smith that he will not slice the fed

with mixed emotions. 1t has caused
a big lump of sad disappointment to
rise in the threats of the truly loyal
who have followed him in the ups
and downs of his strenuous career OF
recent years, while the smiles that
play over the faces of those who have
been on the other side of the firing

his people faithfully and well. 1t

that many of the states helpful laws,
such as the franchise tax on corpora

serving terms of five years or less
on the public roads and the estab-

leges, were placed upon the statute
books. Generous, human and broad,
