"CORN is KING"

Last year the corn fields of the
United States yielded the greatest
crop in the history Of this country.
Il reached the enormous amouGt Of
3,1OO,OO0,OO0 bushels, valued at
$1,759, 100000. The United States
raises three-quarters of the worlds
crop of corn. According to the re-
port of the secretary of the depart
ment of agriculture the corn fields
of the United ST. ties, if combined,
would cover an area almost as large
as France or Germany, and ona and
a half times the size of Italy The
two countries that come next to the
United States in the amount of corn
that they produce are Austria-Hun-
gary, which raises more than 20O,-
100000 bushels, and Argentina, with
a somewhat smaller yield. American
farmers take added satisfaction il
I the fact that the corn crop of 1912
is worth one-ffth more than the
average corn crop of the preceding
five years.

PUBLIC SPIRITED WOMEN.

The women of the Dawson Librar!
Association should be encourage
in their efforts for another coun
ty fair at Dawson next fall, theil
purpose being to raise funds with
which to erect library building
which will be for all of Terrell coun-
ty and not for Dawson alone.
These women are active and en-
terprising, as is shown by the fact
that, almost unaided, they have es-
tablished and maintained a public
library with hundreds of volumes OF
the best and latest books, and have
now undertaken to erect a home for
the institution. The county fair they
propose to hold next fall will not be
an experiment, as two splendid fairs
under their management, in 1910
and 1911, are proof of their ability
to bring the enterprise to successful
Everything they have
they have carried through,
and it is to be hoped that before
a great time elapses they will have
the public library in a handsome
and specially designed home of its
own.
By all means let us help make
success of all the enterprises pro-
noted by these philosophical wo-
men, and in that way aid them in
putting up a building which shall in
tself be an ornament to the city
and a monument to them.

While there yet is plenty of room
on the ocean the growth of merchant
fleets and navies last year was very
great, says the Savannah News
There we're launched 1888 vessels
of 100000 tons, gross. The ton
mage of vessels launched under the
American flag is said to have been
20 per cent greater than that of
1911. 1t was expected that the rapid
progress made in the building OF the
Panama canal would stimulate ship
building. 1t is gratifying that there
has been so large an increase in the
tonnage of vessels of American reg
lister.

OF efforts, in the way of law-mak-

1t is announced that the present
state game law. which has already
been amended in several particulars
since it's enactment less than two
years ago, is still so full of incongru-
tiles and unreasonable conflicts that
it will be redrafted at the coming
session of the legislature. Every
time the Legislature has met in the
last ten or fifteen years the game
law has been tinkered with and
changed, and every time, whether
intended or not, it has been in
the interest of the man with leisure
and a pump gun and a pedigreed
dog. 1t has been made practically
impossible for the masses of the peo-
pie, a vast majority of whom do
not hunt and some are too busy to
do so, to have and enjoy game of
any kind.

THE "ANTI-JUG" LAW.

Il
The measure known as the Webb
bill, which has just passed both
houses of congress and awaits the
presidents approval, is important
and far-reaching 1t is commonly
spoken of as a "prohibition" meas
ure, no doubt originated and sup
ported by men and influences not in
sympathy with the liquor traffic. 1t
would stop the transmission of in
toxicants by common carrier into
states in which the law forbids the
sale of intoxicants. The inhibition
applies to liquor carried into prohi-
bition territory, to be resold there.
It would not interfere, if our under
standing of the measure is reliable,
with the importation of liquors in
tended for personal use.
There are many, even among
those who are in no wise aligned
with the prohibition element, who
will not feel warranted in deprecat-
ing or opposing a movement that is
strictly in accord with the principle
of local disagreement, the right
OF a community, or of a sovereign
state, to establish and maintain reg
uIations for the welfare and protec-
ton of society. Even the citizen who
challenges the wisdom of what are
called sumptuary laws must admit
that it is quite another question that
is involved in the Webb bill, for the
purpose of the measure is to uphold
and give effect to law enacted in le-
gal and orderly manner. The News
has never been persuaded that pro-
hibition as a state regulation is prac-
tical, and therefore wise or desir-
able. but we cannot endorse the con-
tention that the action of a state
which has seen fit to institute pro-
hibition can be set at naught I'M
der the plea that interstate com
merce is so important that it must
override the sovereign state. When
Georgia or any other state ordains
prohibition its action should be re-
spected by other states. And least
of all should the federal government
condone or sanction procedure that
would interfere with the asser-
ton of the principle of local self
government. 1t should not be law
full to ship liquors to prohibition ter
ritory with the knowledge that the
liquor is to be resold in that terri
tory.
The Webb bill, as We have stated,
does not propose to interfere with
individual rights or privileges as to
personal requirements, and it occurs
to US that those anti-prohibitionists
who have consideration for the dig
nifty and inviolability of state SOW
ereignty, for the principle of local
elf-government-the right of q
community to regulate its own at
fairs-win be slow to demur to the
law, or to challenge either the spirit
that prompts it or the sound public
policy that is promoted by such leg
islation.

WHICH KIND OF A GIRL?

If you were young man looking
around among Atlanta buds for a
possible bride would you pick girl
who could paint landscapes, play a
piano and speak French, or would
you choose a young woman who
could make biscuits and beds and
WELD dust-brush? Which kind oil
girl really brings a man happi-
ness? That is the thing the Atlanta
Woman's Club is trying to figure out,
with the idea, if the domestic girl is
really the one young men are yearn-
ing for, of furnishing practical train
ing for girls in the responsibilities
of home keepers.
From the viewpoint of mere man
there seems no essential reason why
the same girl should not be able to
play Chopin divinely and also broil
pork chops divinely, but some how
the same girl never does.
