LIFTING GEORGIA,S
CATTLE QUARANTINE

II viii be highly gratifying to every one inter
ested in the growth Of Georgias cattle breeding in
dustry to learn that twelve counties which were
guaranteed because they were infested with the
cattle tick win soor be released.
This territory, comprising some five thousand
square miles. has been thoroughly purged Of the
destructive pest, that in the near future it will
enjoy freedom of cattle exchange with the rest Of
the country.
The results so satisfactorily accomplished in
these counties should prove heartening to all other
sections Of the State that are under quarantine
The work Of eradication has been carried CO
operatively by the county authorities and the Geor
ga once Of the federal bureau Of animal industry.
It's success is due largely to the fact that the
farmers and breeders as whole gave the movement
their thoroughgoing support
without an intelligent and cordial response from
the community itself. little or nothing be done
in the way OF eradcating the cattle tick but when
the efforts OF the authorities backed by popular
interest. substantial and speedy results bound
to follow.
Every natural circumstance makes Georgia an
ideal country for raising cattle and If this industry
Is one well under way it win prove tremendous
asset TO the commonwealth. But it win never have
fair chance or enlist due interest until the cattle
tick which now infests many districts, is wiped
cut This work is therefore. one of the most i'm
portant UNDERTAKINGS that could be conceived in be-
half OF the States material progress.

THE REMARKABLE YEAR 1912.

Time is pictured, in divers moods, as a gray
browed sire with trembling sickle and ragged cloak
trudging through the dusk of snow and storm; or
elhsh boy, bright with the wonder of sunrise;
magic and saunters on careless whether it be good
i'll; and Time is pictured too, a skilled alche-
mist forever releasing new treasures and. through
the fire of his mystic crucible, transmitting lfe's
baser metals into gold
All these moods and traits, we may scan in the
features of the year that is now making ready to
depart 1t has been a twelvemonth of mingled
tempest and sun; its humors have ranged from
tragedy to jest; but taken first and last the earth
around, it has been year of Quickening and con-
structive power.

Coming directly home, we find in the passing
year many things for which atlanta should be
grateful and many more which it should be
thoughtful. The city has thriven it always does
Its population has appreciably increased; its COM
merciaI and manufacturing interests have expanded
its building record has lowered before; its
public spirit remains ardent and resourceful
Our outworn and inefficient system of municipal
government, we unfortunately have with us still but
there is this distinctly gratifying fact the people
are judging that government and keenly
and they are speaking their minds more and more
candidly. Praise be, we have emerged from that
SNUG time when it was considered reasonable to
point out any of the city's faults or limitations
however glaring they might be. We have entered
at length upon an era of frank and constructive
criticism. That is the truly progressive spirit and
that spirit Attain will inevitably free itself from
the incubus of its present plan of government. A
year that opened city's eyes to its own short
comings and injustices has been fruitful indeed.
The story of the year 1912, if fully told, would
be particularly rich in incidents of human appeal
The currents of life have moved everywhere swiftly
and creativey. The newspapers have often read
like tales of adventure.
When was there written drama more soul
absorbing than that which actually lived on the
sinking decks of the Titanic?
In the realm of al piled science, there have been
a number of brilliant useful conquests. Wireless
elegraphy has been notably perfected and aviation
has made encouraging progress.
spirit of research and exploration has been
astir. The return of Captain Amundsen from his
discovery of the South Pole may be taken a sym
Dol of what many other voyagers, in less romantic
but not less useful quests, have accomplished.
Most significant of all, the year has evidenced
temper of social and political eagerness in every
part of the world. Mankind has shown to a re-
markable degree it's power to think and to look up
ward Old expressions and evils have been shaken.
New hopes and purposes have dawned. And the
departing year bequeaths to its successor wealth
of goody promise.

In America, the year has been one rare plenti-

The Presidential election brought of the
greatest victories for popular and stable government
the country has ever known. The old reactionary
forces were routed; the peris of rash and purely
adventurous movement were avoided and the Gov
eminent was entrusted to thoughtful and progress

crisis in their affairs and they have met it with
deliberateness well vigor. For some time to
come their history will be one of far-reaching,

change that will tell vitality upon all their future;
and this wholesome epoch will be dated from the

1t remained for the little States Of the Balkan
peninsula to play the years most distinctive role in
European affairs. The war they have brilliantly
waged against their Ottoman foe bids fair to take
an epochal chapter in the century's history. The
full outcome of the Balkan situation is not yet to be
predicted. 1t appears certain, however that the
map of Southeastern Europe will be made over, and
that the Turkish empire will be stripped of its real
power outside Of Asia.
The Importance of such event can scarcely be
overgauged. The Ottoman regime in Europe has
long been one of oppression and barbarty. Its per
secution of Christian and Jewish settlers in Mace
donia and other territory has been suffered to con
tinue unchecked simply because Of the common jeal
ousies and suspicious of the larger powers. Each
