And the. Floating Volcanoes That Were

Noshing in the thrilling narratives Of
many old sea lights appeals more
strongly to the modern Imagination
than the doings Of the freships.
The idea Of using ineendlary vessels
for the destruction Of a hostile feet
was OF great antiquity. They are said
to have been employed at the siege Of
Tyre in 1893 B. G. and again by the
Rhodiuns about a century and half
later. BY the English. however. they
were first used in 1870, and two cen.
turtles later had come TO be looked upon
as legitimate naval weapon, their at.
tacks being regarded and dreaded in
much the same way as are those of
the torpedo craft and submarines at
the present time.
The explosion vessels, or '.infernals,"
invented by the Italian engineer Gianl.
belll were the most formidable. The
designer procured two vessels Of about
eighty tons each and laid along their
bottom a foundation OF brlckworIS.
Upon this he erected marble cham
Der with Eve foot walls containing 1000
tons of gunpowder. while on the top of
this chamber was a six foot layer Of
gravestones placed edgewise. A marble
roof rose over these. and upon It was
piled quantity of round shot, chain
shot. millstones. blocks Of stone. iron
shod beams and anything heavy which
would cause the explosion to take a
lateral effect. The effect OF this fioat-
ing volcano was appalling. for the
masses Of stone and shot, dlsintegrated
and hung skyward by the explosive,
fell and destroyed any vessels, build
ings or men in the vicinity,
Three years later the Spanish armada
before Calais was attacked by fireshlps
prepared by the English. Eight vessels
were selected. and so great was the
haste that not even their guns or stores
were removed. They were ignited and
launched and with the wind and tide
in their favor advanced straight for
the center of the anchored armada.

Aurora Paint Stands the Sun Test

Most paints on the market look as good as
Aurora, in the can, or on newly completed
work. But when ''old SOL gets warmed up,
when the rains and the snow and the wind have
Ead their turn, there's different tale to tell
Aurora paint, properly applied, will not
scale or peal off. Pure linseed oil and pure
lead and zinc pigments are the secret there.
Pure oil costs more and pure lead and zinc
require longer and more thorough mixing.
That's why some paint makers substitute in
Jerior oil, to save cost and inferior pig
naents, to save time,
We believe it better to preserve the
character of Aurora Paint above every
other consideration.
Experienced painters will tell you the
same thing If they've used Aurora they'll
recommend it, unhesitatingly, for inside or
outside work.

A Foolish Newspaper Threat.

Under existing laws the taxpayers of the
United States are forced to contribute one
half something like six million dollars annu-
ally) toward maintaining the municipal gov
eminent of Washington, D. C, The already
tax-burdened people of the country at large
are compelled to help pay the policemen, fire
men and other city expenses of a town which
millions of them have never even seen and
will never see.
That this is both illogical and unjust goes
without saying. Congressman Crisp has in
troduced a bill, which has already met with
favorable committee consideration, putting a
stop to this unfair proposition, as a direct
result of which he has aroused the ire of nu-
merous interested persons. including the
Washington Times, a republican newspaper,
which goes so far as to indulge in an edito-
rial threat to get Mr.. Crisps official scalp in
the election next year.
1t strikes The News that if the Washington
newspaper ever secures the defeat of the rep
resentative from this district it will be on
some plea distinctly different from that set
forth in this instance Mr. Crisp's stand in
this matter will find favor in the eyes Of his
constituency hereabout without a doubt.

The Need of a Market.

II is . trffe amusing, if not really VeXlhS'
to hear people every day day depose ana urge
tho farmers to diversity their crops and then'
on the same day, perhaps, buy western
how and other commodities raised away from
bor,a when it is entirely possible for them TO
sunnlv all their needs in Terrell county
viz, nrodncts raised by the farmers of Terrell
county.
Indubitably the most confusing feature Oh
nroiected crop Investigation is this same ma
hiIitv Of the agriculturst to sell his nome
raised products to advantage; but the inability
will remain lust so long as his neighDors go
elsewhere to buy the very hay, grain ano
foodstuffs which he offers for sale. rms Is
lint another evidence of the wisdom and logic
of the "huv-at-home" movement, and also of
4he "get-together" spirit. The Terrell county
citizen, be he merchant professional man.
mechanic or farmer, who buys hay or pork
away from home when he could easily and
economically procure it here is, categorically'
the same as the individual who patronizes the
mail order houses of Chicago to the injury
of his home merchants.
If proper and adequate distribution of home
products can be secured and the greatly
dreaded boil weevil shall later put in his ap-
pearance his coming will be fraught with only
a small fraction of the discontinue which is
at this time inspired by the bare thought. 1t
seems to The News that there are few ques-
tions more important than this for the
thoughtful consideration of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce and the daily news
papers, who can do much to create senti-
ment among the people for the use of only
Georgia raised products.
1t is a self-evident fact that the farmers
cannot diversity their crops more than just
enough to supply their own needs if they can
not sell their products. Cotton being the only
crop on which they can readily realize money
they will naturally and necessarily continue
to grow it to the neglect of other crops.

which is responsible for the Atlanta of today

cities and towns in all parts of Georgia.
PartcuIarizing, what Dawson needs is a

Personal differences, political factionalisms
and business jealouses have no rightful place
in the civic existence of a community which is
striving toward material progress. If Dawson
is not to stand still or, still worse, retrograde,
it must purge from its system all selfshness;

DEMAGoGY AND ONE OF IT'S CAUSES.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The Meriwether Vindicator is a firm believ-
er in honest politics. In repudiating the dem
agogue it says:
THE latest demagogical appeal for popu-
larity is a Missouri congressman who has
introduced bill in congress to impose
heavy tax on bachelors to supply pensions
for women and children.
THE scheme is the product of the cheap
est demagogue 1t is just one of the many
things that the politician will put forth to
win popularity There are but few bache-
Tors in the congressman district but many
people whom such claptrap will catch.
THE great trouble of our government to-
day is that We have but few statesmen and
whole kit and bilen of cheap peanuts
whose only purpose is to stay in office. Can
didates seek popularity, rather than the
right Self-subornation of conviction is the
practice these days among many who hold
public Office and equity and justice is cru
Gifted and deceit, fraud and hurtful politics
are enthroned."
1t must be remembered, however, that the
public is not disposed these days to permit
independence of thought and action in their
public servants. Public opinion fuctuates
like the tides; what is popular today may be
unacceptable tomorrow. Yet the same public
wrong. So the public official, dependent on
the caprice of the multitude, has hard road
to travel.
