REFLECTS GREAT CREDIT ON
WEBSTER.

That was magnificent showins
Webster county made at this session
of the Superior Court a showing that
tells more plainly than any amount ..
Communication from outside sources
could tell of the character of its peo-
pie for sobriety, obedience to the
law, and general devotion to good
Older
Not a single felony case awaited
the attention of the court when it was
convened. An absolutely clean docket,
in that respect, awaited the judge and
jurors. The few petty misdemeanor
cases were quickly disposed of, ami
as a result the spring term of court
consumed but few hours of one day
and even less time on the second day
Ore really hard days work would
have been adequate for the entire
spring term of court in this county.
Now that is a showing any county
could well be proud of 1t carries to
the outside world the impression of a
county of people of high, sterling
character, of people inclined to obey
the laws, to respect the rights of 9TH
ers, and to live in amity.
Would that there were more Geor-
gia counties that would present equal
ly as satisfactory a record as Web
ster has done. There is altogether
too much crime in some of them AMI
the state suffers in its good reputa-
ton as a result. All the more reason,
then, that such instances, as are NOT
infrequently shown in this mediate
section, of little business on the Grim
inal side awaiting the coming of the
court session, should be heralded u
the world as evidence that Georgia IS
not hot bed of crime and violence,
and that the sad record that some
times mars the news columns can be
Offset with records of the reverse
character.

GRASPING AT THE STRAW

The Atlanta Journal expends two
columns of editorial space in a fran
tic appeal to the women of Georgia To
rally to the rescue of Wilson, to
place Mrs. Wilson in the White House.
This is the first time, in all likeli-
hood, that such an appeal has been
resorted to in American politics.
Heretofore men have been conten,
to wage their political battles on
their meritc Their advisers, counsel
Tors, supporters, have been content t,
let the battle rage around the polit-
zeal acts and opinions of the candi-
dates. Sentiment has been invoked, i!
is true, for the favorite son of the
state, but this is the first time the
voters of state have been urged and
entreated to vote for candidate n
order that his wife might become
"The first lady of the land"
1t really shows the desperate ex-
tremes to which the Wilson leaders il
Georgia are driven, the recognition by
them of the fact that they are leading
a hopeless cause, so far as Georgia il
concerned. and that only through
some eXtraneOus appeal to sentimer,
can the tide be turned
And so the Atlanta Journal, calls
on the women of Georgia "to organize
in every county in such a manner as
their instructive tact will indicate u
send a Georgia girl to the White
House."
The race evidently is not between
Congressman Underwood and Gov
Wilson.
The Journal and it's satellites have
converted it into a race between the
leader of the Democratic majority in
the House and the wife of the New
Jersey governor
Mrs. Wilson is undoubtedly a VIC
man of rare and radiant gifts, one
who would adorn the White House
and reflect therein everything that is
best in Southern womanhood in Am
erican womanhood.
But would not Mrs. Underwood, OF
Mrs. Harmon do the same? Does not
Mrs. Taft do the same? And is it MOI
pitiful to see politicians reduced Z
such an extremity as this?

lFlorence Earle Coates, in Lippin-

Love came into the world and said:
With the tender infant on this bed
Shall be my home; | will impart
The winning graces to its heart
That blessings in life's pathway

So-for Love crooned its lullables-
His own smile dawned within it's eyes,
And into its small being stole
The laughing radiance of his soul,
And all its eager sympathies.
Unconscious as the flowers that bless,
A tiny flame of loVingness-
To any palm it gave at once
A dimpled hand, in quick response,
Nor what "a stranger" meant might

Then, on a morn, Love came to say:

COULD MOVE TROOPS
IN VERY SHORT TIME
Nv Associated Press.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Having served
notice on President Gomez's govern
ment that the United States expected
Cuba to live up to her treaty agree
ments and maintain a republican form
of government. the state department
is now awaiting developments.
Officials here are confident that
when Cubans understand the motive
OF the United States is simply to dis
charge its treaty obligations, there
will be little dissatisfaction outside OF
the veterans organization.
So well laid are plans of the general
staff of the army that news of the
possibility of Intervention in Cuba has
caused scarcely a ripple at head
quarters here. Should il become nesces-
sary to send troops to Cuba, the
whole mechanism of the transportation
ard mobilization services could be in
operation within q few hours and
probably within two days the first
army transport would be sailing for
Havana. Long before the transport
had reached Cuban waters. several
American battleships would be lying
of proper strategic points on the
Cuban coast.
War department officials, however,
do not anticipate any such order.

but we must hope it viii sound note
Of warning. All must join in a pa
triotic effort to do their utmost to save
the country
So sudden was the action taken by
the state department at Washington
that General Manuel Sangullly, secre-
tary of state, last night absolutely re-
fused to believe that Intervention was
threatened until some hours after Sec
rotary Knox's note had been presented
to President Gomez
The meeting of the Council of Vet
Grams Association. which was called
for last night, adjourned early this
morning. o
No line of policy was adopted at the
meeting which was sparsely attended,
the conservative section of the vet
Grams being conspicuously absent.
No hour has yet been fixed for the
conference between President Gomez
and leaders of the political parties and
the veterans. It will probably take
place this afternoon.
At the opening of the board of trade
today the prospect of Intervention by
the United States was regarded gen.
orally with satisfaction, especially
among the Spanish element Mer-
chants almost unanimously expressed
the opinion that the regulation of the
affairs of Cuba by the United States
would have the happiest effect to inn
mediately stimulate business.
