OFFERS US COMFORT

From the Early County News,
Go away from home to learn the
news is an old saying, and it is true
in this case. If there was a big
wad" turned loose in Dawson at the
state primary it was kept a close
secret, and never leaked from the
inner circles. viii our contempt
rary be more specific and tell us
who the said public man is, who
turned loose the big wad" and who
got it? These are matters affecting
the public welfare, and the Early
County News cannot refuse to di-
vulge any information it may have.
We do not understand why a big
wad' should have been turned loose
here for a state candidate when
there was so little local interest in
these contests. Dawson News.
The Dawson News makes good copy
out of our hint that it might find
some trash at its own political door
to sweep away. 1t knows that we
have no information other than the
remark quoted, but if we should give
The News the name of the gentleman
quoted we don't believe our contem-
porary would doubt his statement. II
it is any comfort to the Dawson
brother we will inform him that a

one of the two discussing the mat
ter in our presence, and he made the
same remark concerning Early coun-
ty as was made by the Terrell county
citizen.

,roprnLEss YOUNG MEN.

An exchange prints an interesting
story about two girls Il years Of age
and twins who picked lOO2 pounds
of cotton in day. The story con-
cludes with a pertinent omission,
which is that about the same time

towns and cities we're busy doing
nothing or playing pool.
The habituaI idler who infests the
streets of the town seems, ordinarily,

at the same time about the most use
less person in our entire social sys-

without ambition. wofully lacking in
good ideals. and withal a poor ex-
cuse for man.

CIV laws might send some OF these I'M
desirables off the streets and into the

HOPE FOR THE RACE.

There is still to be found a rem
nant of humanity in the race. The
lowest depths of degeneracy have not
been reached, despite the claims of
Dessimists. The golden rule is yet
held in remembrance by few, and
the wicked old world is not so hope
lessly bad as many profess to be-
lieve. Noble sacrifice for the good
of another, and this without the hope
of reward other than gratitude and
the serenity of a mind which comes
from a conscience at ease, has served
to bring all of this forcibly to mind,
Out in a hospital in Gary, Ind, the
other day a newsdealer, who had gen
erously volunteered for the purpose,
was placed on the operating table and
after $50 square inches of the skin on
his crippled leg had been successfully
transplanted to the body an 1S-year-
old girl who was suffering from
frightful burns the useless limb was
amputated at the thigh. Miss Ethel
Smith, the beneficiary of this sacri-
fetal gift, received her burns three
weeks ago, when the gasoline tank of
a motorcycle exploded. William
Rugh, the young man who so mod
estly played an heroic part, had his
left leg injured some years ago so
that he was deprived of its use. The
friends of Miss Smith had offered to
give of their skins for grating, but
the total area available was far short
of being enough Rugh heard of her
serious condition. He was stran-
ger, but evidently of the good old
Samaritan type He offered the skin
of his crippled leg, but the doctors
were afraid he could not stand the
shock of its removal Then take
leg and ALL" was his noble reply.
At the hospital Rugh was given an
anaesthetic and placed on the operat-
ing table beside Miss Smith, already
under the influence of anaesthetics.
The living skin was stripped from
the young mans leg and soon trans
ferred to the burns on the girls
limbs and back, after which the Grip
pied and fayed limb was removed.
The operation is believed 10 be per-
feet success.
Humanity is yet extant in the race.
The Millennium may yet be long
way ahead, but the barbaric state
from which We have worked our way
upward is ce' iainly a long way back.
Knighthood may not be in full flow
er yet just at present, but there are
some worthy recruits for the ranks
who give encouragement to the ever

THE PRICE OF FLIGHT.

The progress of aviation still de-
mands its victims. few days ago
an army officer and his passenger
were killed near Washington, and a
British aviator was hurled to his
death when his biplane collapsed at
Hempstead. L. I. These unfortunate
occurrences. following so quickly on
the deaths of four military airmen
in England and other aviation acct
dents on the continent of Europe,
amply demonstrate the insecurity of
air navigation, even after five years
of unprecedented invention and eXpe-
riment
Certainty of travel and perfect Sc
curity may never be attained in full
measure, but it may be asked wheth-
err birdmen are deyoting sufficient at
tention to safety, or sacrificing it to
the desire for rapid advancement in
altitude or distance records and spec
tacular displays.
Since the start of aviation in 1908
1873 deaths have resulted from acct
dents, and the number of injured
runs into thousands.

STURDY SWEDISH GIRLS.

From Harper's Weekly.
Bathing in Sweden is business.
Even the hotel bath rooms are extra
ordinary-regular suites of rooms,
one for the bath proper, one for
shower baths of various sorts and
one for drying room, wherein you
find enormous towels as large as
American bed sheets. The public
baths are luxurious. They are built
around courts where, after the bath,
you may have your coffee under great
trees surrounded by beds of beautiful
flowers. 1t is apt to bother Amer
cans a bit to find that the bath rub
bers for both men and women are
strapping Swedish girls, business-like
and unabashed. But this is only one
manifestation of the advanced activi-
ties of women of Sweden. You find
her occupying all sorts of positions.
You see her boldly swinging off the
street cars without waiting for them
to stop. You are told that a woman
is street commissioner-Miss Hedin,
a sister of the explorer of Thibet,
DR.. Sven Hedin.

Through the efforts of Mr.. j..

to Cuthbert has been considerably
reduced. 1t is now the same as the

getting their beer transported cheap

and try to be content with low rates
on dry goods, shoes, hats, groceries

COLOR BLIND JUSTICE.

A prominent and influential Texas
newspaper comments as follows on
a recent court sentence in that state:
When Scotland Anderson,
young Fort Worth negro, was con-
Victed of robbery with firearms in a
district court last THURSDAY and
sentenced to fifty years in the pe1-
itentiary there was recalled to mind
one of the most pernicious practices
into which Texas courts are drift
ing-that of imposing heavy SEN
fences upon neg9oes and either let
ting the white persons off with light
sentences or else acquitting them
entirely
We would not condone crime in the
negro, and we admit that the negro
of criminal tendency should be inn
mediately restrained, but we would
enter a protest against the discrim-
nation shown in the courts against
the negro, when his brother in white,
who commits crimes of as grave as
Dect. is either permitted to defer his
case until all the witnesses have dis
appeared and then have it dismissed
for Lack of testimony, or else, as has
ibRen the case in many instances, &C
quilted outright.
This Texas paper commends the
Judge of another circuit in that state
who, it says, did the sensible thing
last spring when in his court al
Dallas he served notice on The
prosecuting attorneys that he would
permit no more negroes to bt
9ned in his court for gambling anC
dmilar offenses until the juries came
to where they would convict whit
people so arraigned upon the sam
or equally competent testimony
There is neither sense nor justic
IN melting heavier punishment to
negro than to white man for II

Is done in our courts not only W
the spirit of our constitution be &C
travened, but the higher law of I
duty Of the stronger race to see Il

SOME PROGRESSIVES.

From Leslie's Weekly.
Progress. The boy who fiouts his
mother and disobeys his father
thinks he is a progressive. The girl
who refuses to listen to discipline
and thinks she knows more about
the world than her parents, goes OUT
to prove it and falls by the Wayside
believes she is a progressive. The
clergyman who challenges his own
faith because he believes in higher
criticism and a new Interpretation
made on his own account is a pro
gressive. The disappointed office
seeker who turns from one party to
another in search of fat job pro-
claims that he is progressive.

Is life a chemical product? Much
excitement in London and elsewhere
over the report that Professor E. A.
Schafer of the University of Edin-
burgh, and president of the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science, has declared in his presiden-
tial address that life can be created
by chemical action. The newspapers
say it is an epoch-making revelation,
comparable to the announcement of
the theory of evolution by Darwin
and Huxley, and the ministers have
been aroused, and are beginning to
preach against so revolutionary an
idea.

THE DISPENSER OF KIND WORDS

From the Griffin News.
There are some people who always
say pleasant things to everybody.
They never meet their acquaintance
without complimenting their man.
ners or appearance, or praising some
quality or action, or repeating some
kind expression others have uttered.
To the cynical this class of people ap-
pear inconsistent and deceitful. They
are not credited with meaning all
they say, and are often accused of
talking just the opposite behind ones
back.
Nevertheless we are inclined to
thank a kind Providence for placing
Just those kind of people along the
journey of life. No matter what may
be said of them they are to be found
warming themselves and others in
the sunshine of fiattery. When chill
ed by the frigid Formally and
brusqueness of business associations,
when heartbroken by. the realization
that the trusted loyalty of loved ones
has proven nothing more than hollow
deceit, we are always glad to fly to
that comforting class who are said
to deal only in soft SOAP" etc.
The person who always finds some
thing pleasant to say affords encour-
agement, dethrones dependency and
inspires determination to continue
life's battle. We leave their presence
as the thirsty traveller leaves the re-
freshing spring of water which he
finds in the desert We believe in
them because believing lends us help
and happiness.
Let us truly be thankful for the
dispenser of kind words.
