Hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of gold, silver, copper and
precious stones are lying at the bot
tom of the sea, ready for the hand of
the first person who will devise tie
means of recovering them. Invent
OFFS in every part of the world are
building submarine boats, diving ar
NOR, dredging apparatus and other
devices solely for the purpose of find
ing and bringing to the surface these
sUnken treasures.
The two main problems to be soly-
ed are those of protection against
water pressure and of providing light
in which to work. The latter prob
lem Is more easily solved than the
former. Modern developments in
electric lighting make it practically
certain that powerful searchlights
can be devised which will give sutti'
cient illumination for salvage opera
lions at depths as great as 400 feet,
Divers who have been down $50 feet
agree that even when the sun is
shining brightly the OCEAN depths are
in semi-darkness, which increases as
one descends.
The other and more serious prob
lem is that Of pressure. The ordi-
nary divers equipment depends upon
a constant supply of air pumped in
from above and rubber suit with a
metal helmet, all air-tight, or nearly
so, to keep the water from running
in the moment the pressure of air
pumped through the hose becomes
less than the water pressure from
outside. Theoretically, of course,
the air pressure could be maintained
at a point that would equalize the
water pressure, but what would be-
come of the diver? Men working in
compressed air caissons under
pressure Of As pounds to the square
inch are risking their l;ves-and 40
pounds means a depth of only 105
feet of water. At 200 feet the water
pressure is a little over Sc q pounds
to the square inch; at $50 feet it is
over los pounds; at 800 feet 1t is
1870 pounds-and many of the sunk
en- ships lie at even greater depths.

Dublin Papers Consolidate

Announcement is made that the
Dublin Courier-Dispatch and the
Laurens COUNTY Herald will be con-
solidated on Monday, June 16. From
that date unsil September l semi
weekly will be published under the
name of the Courier-Herald. On the
first day of September the Courier
Herald Publishing Company will be-
gin the publication of an afternoon
daily newspaper Those who will be
in charge of the paper after the con-
solidation are r. Y. Beckham, II. NJ
Stanley, Frank Lawson and Vivien L.
Stanley. and it would be a hard mat
ter to find a stronger or better
equipped quartette of newspaper men
than these four gentlemen.
Dublin is one of the best and most
progressive towns in Georgia, and
the consolidation of its newspapers
is but additional evidence that two
papers cannot thrive in any of the
smaller cities. The publishers of
our contemporary will not only be
benefited, but the consolidation will
be to the best interests of Dublin and
Laurens county as well.

A Canadian university professor,
now visiting in the United States,
would take every boy between the
ages of twelve and eighteen out of
the hands of woman teachers. He
wants them to be tied to no apron
strings Heaven help them" he
exclaimed, if they must spend their
boyhood days having their minds
shaped by woman's hand. There
should be a mans hand at the work,
he said, because only a mans hand
is strong enough to control properly
the growing boy who is rapidly be-
coming a man. The tendency in this
country however, is toward the en-
ployment of more women teachers.

Pursuing Poor FidO

Not every excited and scared ca
nine is victim of rabies, and the
Womans Pennsylvania Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails has done well to issue a re-
monstrance calling public attention
to the senseless practice of indis-
criminately considering a dog mad
because it gets excited, runs fast,
and snaps at somebody.
The homeless dog has often good
excuse for regarding himself as a
social Ishmaelite of the animal
world. He has been cuffed about
from pillar to post; boys have tied
cans to his tail or stoned him; he
has been kicked awcy from the garb-
age can and suffered to go hungry
and waterless. Is it surprising II he
sometimes loses his bland and genial
temper and runs amuck?" This nat
ural canine resentment is not to ae
characterized as rabies" by those
who 10 not know what they arc TAX
ing about. Nor is it necessary to
urge when in doubt, shooot," as the
first and best procedure.
There have been many cases
wherein children have been literally
scared into fits by being informed
that the dog that bit them was mad.
In such an instance, not long ago,
a little boy that was the victim of
such hasty and inaccurate dtagno-
sis died of commissions brought on
by his terror, and only when it was
lamentably too late it was discover
ed that the dog did not nave rabies.
Too often, as in Goldsmith's poem
OH the mad dog, "the man it was
that died. Dawson News.
It is this self same harmless
dog" about which Editor Rainey
feels such deep concern that is most
liable to go mad" and run amuck,
swapping at anything and everybody
in sight. The Madisonian is not I'M
friendly to the dog. We appreciate
and commend his many admirable
and noble qualities. He is indeed a
friend that "sticketh closer than a
brother" grateful for every act of
kindness. true to his master, useful
in hunting, and faithful unto death.
And yet there are many of these ami
mails that are veritable wanderers
upon the earth, rowing around over
the country, pillaging hen nests,
killing young lambs, kids, pigs and
calves. These are the homeless
dogs" the Ishmaelites, the vaga-
bonds, the wanderers that scatter
hydrophobia and death-all perhaps
because they have no homes and are
hungry, and are therefore mad be-
cause of the fact. But must they be
permitted to run at large at the peril
| of human life? The Madisonian
SAYS no, A thousand times no!
When it comes TO choosing between
a dog and child, a dogs interests
and a child's interests, Others may
do as they wish, but for our part
we stand for the child first, last anC
| always!
Editor Rainey is a state official
His paper is one of the most popular
and influential of the galaxy of Soutl
| Georgia Journals. Let him come GU
squarely for an equita bic, fair, jus
! dog law in Georgia, making all thu
dogs taxable and killing all derelict
or homeless ones that scatter the ter
rors OF hydrophobia abroad in GU
fair land.
What say you, Editor Rainey?

Drift of Population


mo man need be surprised at the drift

is that any man who has regard for the
future of his children will remain in the
country at all. if he can possibly get

proceeds chiefly from those who are COM

that if the drift to the city continues,
the time is coming when both city and
country will wake up to the stern reali-

a wilderness, and population without land

principle that must move him in educa-
