THE JEF'FERSONIA
Cotton and Compulsory School Laws

destroy health, but healthy bacon and
fine lard. No more millions for fer
tillzers, for stock raising would solve
that problem. No more millions for
horses and mules for oats and clover
would grow them here instead of hay
ing them shipped from Northern mar
kets at extOrtlOnate prices. 1t would
mean fertile lands and the South
would blossom like the rose. But
this is not all: Cotton, corn, oats
and clover are all great crops, but the
South's greatest crop is her boys and
girls-this crop is the most neglected.
Cultivate this crop and you will rear
generation that will develop our
great natural resources, solve the
problems wisely and once more the
Sunny, South will be heard in the
counsels of the nation.
The educated sections rule this
great republic. New England and
New York have had compulsory
school laws almost from the begin
ming. Today there is where nearly
all Of the teeming millions Of this ma
tiOn's wealth goes. Education rules
and reaps while ignorance sows and
pines in poverty. There is more
illiteracy in the South than all the
remainder of the Union. Sad, but
true, Georgia stands second in litter
acy. She stands first in crime.
There is more murder and incen-
diaries than in any other similar
population on Gods green earth.
and poverty.
When the statutes Of Georgia pre-
sumes every one over fourteen to
know the laWs-exctapt those non
compus mentis-at the same time
one-third Of her children seldom see
inside Of a school house and thou
sands never-such a presumption is
a fraud It says to the poor litter
ate-While you have never been to
school and don't know a letter in
the book, yet you know the laws of
Georgia and must pay the penalty.
Some day timber will be ex-
hausted, and heating, lighting and
cooking will be done by electricity
generated by water power. Already
the shrewd Yankee sees it and they
are buying up all the streams that
afford water power and some day
future generations will pay dear to
get to live in this world. Already
they are buying our minerals
while we sleep on, having eyes
and see not and ears and hear
not-We heed not. Oh, how long
will the Southern people dream on
while the shrewd capitalists still take
our land for an inheritance? It will
be SO until illiteracy is stamped out
by compulsory school laws and the
masses are educated to develop our
resources and solve our problems.
There is just as good brain in the
South as there is in any land or any
clime-all that is needed is that the
great masses Of children be educated
trained in the vocation Or profess
sion they intend to follow.
I do not say that they should not
Work-they should be taught to
workout I do say the great states
Of the Sunny South should not al
low their children to exc out mis-
cradle existence with cotton sack
around their necks when it means no
profits, and dwarfs their mental ca
pacity for usefulness and develop
ment Lastly, | believe one thing

PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH
Contractor Saved Mis- Nickel, but Was
Out Something on the Trans.
action.

How to save a nickel and lose a
thousand dollars is lesson learned
by a Bronx contractor. He was at
the Fordham station OF the Third ave
nue. elevated and he wanted to go to
West Farms, at the end of the LenoX
subway, to submit bid on contract.
The ordinary way to make such trip
would be to pay two car fares, but
this careful contractor saw way to
complete the journey for single
fare, but he says he will never do 1t
again.
He bought an elevated ticket and
rode down town to Third avenue and
One Hundred and Forty-ninth street,
where he got a transfer to the down.
town subway train. He intended to
ride down to the next station, Mott
avenue, get off there and cross to the
uptown side and ride back to his des-
tination, thus saving five cents. Un-
fortunately that day there was an ac-
cident in the subway, the trains were
blocked for nearly an hour and he
was in train that was stalled half
way between two stations. When ne
finally did arrive at the Office he found
all the bids had been opened and the
contract awarded. His bid, however,
was lower than the one accepted, yet
it was for a sum sufficiently large to
have shown him a cool profit OF
$1,000.
Then he went out and spent about
500 in drinks to drown his SORROW

GAVE OF SURPLUS WEALTH
Rich Men In Other D1ys Lavish in
Their Donations to Their Fa-
Vorlte Cities.

Many man who has inherited mil
lions," once said Frederic Harrison,
is gnawed with envy as he watches
a practical man turning an honest
penny. How he would like to earn an
honest penny! He never did; he new
er will; and he feels like dyspeptic
invalid watching hearty beggar en-
joying bone or a crust Many a
rich man is capable Of better things;
but he does not know how to begin!"
The ancient law suggests restoration
of the liturgies, the public services OF
rich men as they were organized in
the model Greek republics. AT Ath-
ems the liturgies were legal and con-
stitutional Offices imposed periodically
and according to a regular order by
each local community on citizens rat
ed as having capital of more than
given amount. It always re-
mained a public office, duty to be
filled by taste, skill, personal effort
and public spirit. Rich men contend
ed for the Office. The chief ambition
OF rich man came to be that of max
ing splendid gifts to his fellow citi.
zens, and theaters, stadiums, colon.
nades, aqueducts, gardens, libraries,
museums, pictures, statues-all were
showered upon favorite cities by
wealthy men who possessed or covet-
ed the name of citizen" A few null
timillionaires in our American repub.
lie have made public benefactions.
May their tribe increase! The gift
of a public hospital or school build
ing is always in order.-The Christian
Herald.

Sends Out Appeal.
So serious has the car shortage in
this country become that the inter-
state commerce commissioners have
published an appeal to the railroads
and the shippers of the United States
to cooperate in order to avoid serious
injury to numerous industries.
The appeal urgently requests that
railroads return borrowed cars as soon
as possible. The commission makes
the following suggestions:
That a higher per diem rate shall
be made to apply for the use of the
cars as between the carriers.
That an inspection service be at
once instituted which shall report to
this commission violation of the rules
existing which are intended to insure
the return of equipment to the home
