AN INSPIRING RECORD

One of the richest tributes ever paid to the en-
ergy and progress of Georgia is to be found in GER
tain bare statistics recently made public by the Uni
ted States department of agriculture.
According to the departments figures, this com
monwealth led the entire South, and with the
exception of New York, the entire Union, in the
structiOn of good roads during the last five years.
Between 1904 and 1909. Georgia built four
thousand miles of public highways; New Ior1s rec.
ord for the same period is something more than six
thousand miles.
There is, perhaps, distinction of which this
state has juster be proud and attainment
that carries a brighter for it's continued de-
velopment.
good road becomes quckening influence in
every field of peoples interests and endeavors
1t increases the value of lands and crops.
1t stimulates trade.
It encourages neighborliness and community pride.
It brings the country nearer the town and the
school house nearer the home
1t is present fortune and a future legacy to the
cause of agriculture and commerce and education
and indeed, to every department of the peoples
welfare.
Not only Georgia but the Soutt at large has made
truly wonderful progress in. the development of
highways.
The statistics from which we have quoted show
that between 1904 and 1909 this section built eighteen
thousand eight hundred and sixty-four miles of i'm
proved roads-approximately eight hundred miles
more than were built in all the remainder of the
country.
1t is to be noted, furthermore that of the ten
states making the most marked advancement in road
construction during the period mentioned seven are
in the South-Georgia Florida, Alabama, South Car
olina, Maryland, Tennessee and Missouri.
These achievements gratifying as they are, must
be considered rather the starting point than the
goal of our own and neghbors' efforts to press
forward the cause of good roads.
The fact that Georgia built over four thousand
miles of highways within five years is evidence of
what she can accomplish in the future through the
united strength of her counties and her people.
All political roads lead to Woodrow Wilson.
Almost lost is the garden recipe for mint beds.

LABOR NOTES OF
WIDE INTEREST

"Ill fares the land to Fastening ills
prey,
When wealth accumulates and men de-
cay"
says Oliver Goldsmith, and though the
sentiment was given expression more
than 200 years ago, it is still a living
/ truth
i Here, in this, the richest land in all
the world, humanity is decaying in a
social abyss here wealth accumulates
while men decay. Almost daily can we
see in the press where vast fortunes are
being squandered by the idle rich, while
those who do the worlds work are con-
demned to life of misery, poverty and
despair. Our press is chronicle OF
crime, standing indictment against
capitalist society.
Men, as rule, are born to crime.
Their environments foster the evil traits
that reduce men to dishonesty. Riches
have the same evil influence upon men
that poverty breeds; the only difference
is that they wor kin different direc-
tions. Harry Thaw was victim to his
environments. So is the man who robs
and murders in order to get the stuff
that rules the world Honest toll does
is why men resort to dishonest methods.
And there are employers who would like
to reward honest toll far better than
they do, but the keenness of business
rivalry, the competition that is sup |
posed to be the life of trade, will not
permit it. 1t is no wonder that men will |
resort to crime when they are kept on
the ragged edge of life and read the
following:
Miss Mary Aston Paul, daughter of |
James A. Paul, jr, of the Drexel firm,
made her debut recently at ball that
for grandeur, cost and novelty eclipsed
the famous bali of four seasons, with
which Mr.. Paul introduced his older
daughter. The flowers alone cost $35 900
for the occasion. The feature was a
new rose cross between the American
Beauty and the Sofrano, that took nine
years to develop, displayed here for the
first time.
"At ii o'clock, 500 large, brilliant but

our mind was pre-occupied this morn
ing with the 'high cost of living" As
we pondered over the subject, it occurred
to us that one Of the Chief causes of the

OF doing them up. Instead of these COM
ing IN bulks as in davs of yore. almost
every article must be bagged, as sugar is;
boxed as a variety of small articles are;
and canned as molasses is. Years ago
holasses came in hogsheads, and was
sold by the quart, or in larger quantities
and the purchaser furnished his lug to
get 1t III and did not pay for tin can
every time he bought quart of molasses.
Ana so with the other articles, the mer-
chant S clerk wrapped up the goods in
paper, and the purchaser did not have to
pay Tor a box to put pair of shoes in.
nor for a muslin bag to hold two pounds
OF sugar. This leads us to an incident
that occurred in Frederica many years
ago but may be remembered by many
vet living. John w, Hall, afterwards
Governor of the State, kept a general F.
store on David street, a man by the name
