THE RAsHr RAznnk.

The Bashi Bazouk is a warrior bold,
A bloodthirsty young Turkish blade,
we are told.
His looks are ferocious. He carries
a knife
A long, crooked n when he wants
to take life.
He breathes fire and smoke, but it Is
a safe bet
The fire and smoke come from his
Turk cigarette.
He's always the first to be sent to
the front,
He's always right there with the
Embarrassing stunt.
But we always hear when the bat
ties begun,
They've got the gay bashi bazouks
on the run.
When battles are lost and it's time
for rebukes,
They lay all the blame on the bashi
bazouks.
The bashi bazouk is a free looking
man;
His mustache curls upon the kaiser
plan.
He struts and he snorts, and he
threatens and scowls.
And scares all the children and horses
and fowls.
But he can't scare armies of men in
the field;
When fighting gets hot 40 is quickest
to yield
He makes war on women and chill
dren all right;
But in a pitched battle he's apt to
take fight.
His ways are spectacular, strenuous,
rough.
And he always gets lots of newspaper
stuff.
But when any battle is lost on a
fluke,
They all lay the blame IN the bashi
bazouk.

BY DougIa s MaIIoCh.

They wanted him to buy a farm
A thousand miles remote,
In regions that were full of charm.
The proud promoter wrote.
The more he thought and thought
of it
The more he liked the scheme;
To think of it he used to sit
And then he had dream.
(Now, dreams are very foolish things
Undoubtedly, it's true
Your brain puts on its fairy wings
And flies away from YOU:
And yet it seems that some of us
Our cash would never keep
Unless we learned a lesson thus
BY falling fast asleepD
He had a dream a dollar came.
With tears its features wet:
dollar came and called his name
In anger and regret.
The coin was shedding silver tears
From out its silver eye.
He asked the reason for its fears:
The dollar made reply:
They tell me you intend to send
Me many miles away:
They tell me you intend to spend
In speculation gay
The dollar that has been to you
A servant many years,
To send me to some region new
And hence these silver tears.
I've lived in this community
Almost as long as you;
I've been in every family
guess, but one or two
But one or two, who, sad to saw.
Had such a scheme in mind
And sent their hard-earned cash away
Some other land to find.

CUPID IN SCHOOL.

Dan Cupid is the latest pupil in
the Atlanta public school. And he is
giving the board of education more
trouble than all the bad boys of the
third and fourth grades.
The board of education has in
formed the public that it wants ap-
plicants for new places on the teach
ing staff, because so many of the
young lady teachers have heard the
call of love and spring and have been
married.
Every year, usually about this sea-
son, a dozen or more of the most
charming Of Atlanta's schoolma ms
figure in the list of weddings in the
society columns of the local news
papers. 1t is mighty fine for the
teachers, and for the bridegrooms,
but it is tough on the poor old board
of education.

F1ITHY AND DISGUSTING.

The grand jury of Colquitt county
has, in it's presentments, condemned
the filthy and disgusting habit of
excessive splitting in the court house
The same thing would be in order
in some other counties. The Moul-
trie OBSERVER commends the grand
jurys action and adds: TT doesn't
seem possible that a civilized people
would so abuse public property and
have such disregard for cleanliness
and decency. We are quite sure that
the same men who spit tobacco all
over the court house never think of
splitting on the floors or up against
the walls of their homes, though they
may live in ever so humble a cot
tage."

ANOTHER VIEW OF IT.

The Butler Herald is of the opin-
ion that the cost of high living is
as much responsible for the trouble
the people are having in getting
along these days as is the high cost
of living. "Cut out the phone and
use the big old family market bas-
ket and the cost of living will grow
less" says our contemporary while
it is a fact that the cost of living
is a good deal higher than it former
ly was it cannot be denied that the
cost of high living is responsible for
about half of the additional expense.
If we should all go back to the good
old ways, giving up many of the
comforts we now enjoy and of which
we formerly knew nothing, the cost
would be greatly reduced. But that
is the trouble with us. We have
added expense after expense in order
to keep up with the procession and
to live in ease and comfort, and when
the bills fall due we kick. Still we
do not cut anything. We are very
inconsistent"

SOME AUTOMOBILE NOTES.

The Michelin Tire Company an
nounces that it's new quick detacha-
BILE clincher tire is now made in two
additional sizes-32x3 p and 34x3b
inches. The prices of these new tires
are S24.50 and $26.25 respectively.
The present situation as regards
tire prices is peculiar. Michelin an
nounced a substantial reduction to
users on February 10Th, and anoth-
er manufacturer followed suit Sun
day. Notwithstanding these reduc-
lions another tire manufacturer ad-
Yanced prices on April 10. The sea-
son is backward on account of the
weather, but big demand is antici-
pated as soon as conditions become
more favorable
Out of the six American cars that
participated in this years 'Tour de
France" three were Michelin euuipp-
ed and three used tires of another
make. Sixty-eight per cent of the
cars that finished the three weeks
tour were fitted with Michelin tires.

ton Suggests Some Thoughts.


ton Suggests Some Thoughts.
Editor Dawson News: For some
time the Farmers Union of Georgia
has lent its aid to restrict immigra-
ton from the North and Europe into
Georgia. An unpleasant duty recently
called me into an old section of Ran
dolph and Quitman counties that is
well nigh depOpulated, and the DESC
I lation seen on lands capable of a
high state of cultivation and which
formerly supported a large per cent
of the inhabitants of this section in
spires this article. Churches have
gone down, schools are non-existent,
roads are paths, good residences have
rotted or been burned, and you tray
ell for long distances without the
sight of human habitation, and the
few people left remind one of Pales-
tine, as described in the Bible after
the Assyrian invasion. They are
breeding places for crime and nest
ing places for criminals; an eyesore
and disgrace to people who are con-
tributing thousands to the upIift of
the heather in China, Mexico and
beyond and leaving the poor of their
own homes a menace to their chill
dren and curse to their country
The school board of Cuthbert is in
augurating a plan of scientific man
ual labor on the part of the boys,
and understand intends to establish
one for the girls, which will magnify
the home life, such as cooking, Iaun-
dering, etc, and make it as honor
able to be a first-class cook and laun-
dress as to be a first-class music or
literary teacher. This is encourag-
ing, and One-half that the good peo-
pie Of Randolph contribute to foreign
missions through various churches
put into the hands of her county
school board for the establishment
of such courses in the schools of the
county and the same amount spent
through an efficient emigration agent
to bring into the county families
from the North and Europe to occupy
waste lands would add more to
christ1anity's strength, if continued
for ten years, than all the money
spent to christianiZe China and the
other lower races since the year one
to date; and what applies to Ran
dolph applies with equal reason to
nearly every county in Southwest
Georgia. Yours for carrying out
Paul's two visions: Acts 16, 9Th to
10th verses inclusive, and this: 'If
a man provide not for his own, es-
pecially for those of his own house
hold, he has denied the faith and is
worse than an infidel." Save Geor-
gia first, and then hunt new ground
if necessary. A. P. RIVES.

TWO IRRESISTIBLE MEASURES.

TWO IRRESISTIBLE MEASURES.
The bill repeating the tax on sugar,
which will reduce the price to the
consumer two cents pound if the
measure is enacted into law, and the
bill to place a tax on all incomes in
excess of $4,000 a year, are two of
the most important measures that
have been passed by the house of
representatives in the last twenty
five years.
These sister bills, designed and
framed by Congressman Underwood,
the democratic leader in congress,
were so good, in fact, that eighty re-
publicans were forced to vote for
them. Forced to vote for them" is
the correct expression, because the
republicans refused steadfastly when
in power to pass such legislation, or
even to consider it, but when the
democrats forced them to vote one
way or the other they were afraid
to vote against either bill lest their
constituents retire them to private
life
