A practical knowledge of the work
to be done, an ability to convey that
knowledge to servants, to observe
without appearing to observe, to cor.
rect without nagging, and to show
friendliness without familiarity-all
these will enable us to give to a maid
a sense of personal freedom and re
sponsibiHty and practical knowledge
of the detail of her work which will
tend to disaipate the hostility engen-
dered by years of misunderstanding.

Gift of Books.

When | consider what some books
have done for the world, and what they
are doing, how they keep up our hope,
awaken new courage and faith, soothe
pain, give an ideal life to those whose
hours are cold and hard, bind together
distant ages and foreign lands, create
new worlds Of beauty, bring down
truth from heaven; | give eternal
blessings for this gift, and thank God
for books.-James Freeman Clark.

Does Memory Go on Strike?

Can the human memory go on
strike. leaving the other tangible and
intangible parts Of the mental and
physical makeup to continue their or
dinary work-a-day routine? Will this
explain the strange disappearances
and wanderings about of men and wo-
men which occur so frequently?

THESE CANDIDATES ADVERTISED

From the Savannah News.
About half of the money spent by
the two leading candidates in the re-
cent congressional campaign IN the
Second district went for newspaper
advertising. The third man in the
race spent no money that way. Which
goes to show that both Judge Park,
who won, and Mr.. Luke, who ran
second, realized that the best way to
reach the voters was through the
newspapers. By the aid of newspa-
per advertising they were enabled to
keep the voters informed of what
they had to say and of their pros
poets and of what they stood for as
the race progressed. There is no
better way than through the news
papers to reach the voters when it is
impossible to buttonhole them one
by one. The race in the Second dis
trict seems to have made that very
clear.

NEWSPAPER ORGANS.

From the Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
1t is a fact worth noticing that the
greatest and most successful news
papers of our time have been largely
Independent Even those great pa
pers like the New York World or the
Louisville Courier-Journal, although
spoken of as democratic, are far
more independent and out-spoken
than not a few professedly demo
cratic organs" They are big enough
to tell the truth, broad enough to be
conservative, and successful enough
to stand alone.
In commenting on the newspaper
which is organized and maintained
for the sole purpose of being the
mouthpieCe of some particular man
or faction the Dawson News has the
following:
The newspaper that has to play
the part of an organ" in this day
and time has a rough road to trav-
ell. In former days there were
newspapers that essayed the cor
gan" role successfully, but most
newspaper men of this day have
gotten above and beyond the or
gan status. A newspaper that
merits business and influence finds
that it doesn't have to be an COR
gan for anything or anybody. The
result is that when the Organ" ex-
lists it is chiefly because such a
paper is the victim of conditions
beyond its control, conditions far
from enviable."
And The News is eminently cor
rect. A newspaper cannot be honest
without being fair to all, both edi-
torially and in it's news columns.

THOUGHTLESSNESS,

From the Macon Telegraph.
Carelessenss seems to be on the
increase. A man in Philadelphia had
read somewhere that kerosene oil ap-
piled vigorously would kill dandrufe
Having an oyer-supply, and the price
of the Rockefeller product, he ap-
piled a liberal portion to the intel.
lectual part of his being. After he
had rubbed the oil well into his scalp
and was confident that the desired
result had been produced he hurried
over to basin of soap and water
to remove the oil that had not soaked
in. But directly over his head was
a gas jet. Carelessness.
Now he has neither hair nor dan
drufr One laughs at this but today
or tomorrow one will do something
equally as careless. But one may be
fortunate enough to avoid any such
misfortune.
We have eyes, ears and noses.
They should be backed up by a little
gray matter The combination if
properly used would guarantee the
destruction Of carelessenss. Give it
a thorough trial and the remedy will
be chronic
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1913-12-12

The Savannah Press had a fire a
few days ago, and while it was made
pretty hot for our contemporary it
was fortunately not damaged suffi-
GENTLY to interfere with the publica-
ton Of the paper. The Press is one
of our favorite exchanges, and we, in
common with other readers, would
regret even a temporary suspension
Of its visits.

LADIES, ATTENTION!

From the Atlantic Monthly.
do not suggest that feminists are
arrayed against the care Of the body;
far from it, for the campaign has
many associates among those who
support physical culture, the fresh
air movement, ancient costume re-
viyal and aestheticism in general;
buC feminists are well aware that
concentration on adornment diverts
woman from the development of her
brain and her soul, and enhances in
her the characteristics of the harem
faTOrite. One tentative suggestion is
being made, and that is a uniform for
women. The interested parties point
out that men practically wear uni
form, that there hardly is any change
from year to year in their costume,
and that any undue adornment Of the
male is looked upon as bad form.
Thus, while few men can with i'm
punity spend more than $500 a year
on their clothes many women do not
consider themselves happy unless
they can dispose of anything between
five and twenty times that amount.
This, while involving the household
in difficulties, lowers the status of
women by lowering her mentality.

Not Very Popular,

The postal savings banks have not
been progressing as was predicted,
and the postoffice department is anX-
ious to popularize them. Represent
alive Rouse has announced that he
is to introduce at this session of con-
gress a bill authorizing an increase
of 1 per cent in the amount of inter
est paid by postal savings banks.
Mr.. Rouse is a member Of the house
postofice committee. He expects for
his bill the endorsement Of Mr.. Bur
Lesson. and considers the chances for
the increase IN interest payments
quite excellent.
In localities where there are large
populations Of foreign-born citizens
the postal banks have thrived. The
foreign-1orn citizen has the greatest
regard for the solidarity OF anything
with which government is asso-
ciated. He may distrust private
banks, but his faith is perfect in the
government" bank. Millions OF
dollars earned in America which
have heretofore found their way, il
small insrallments, into foreign
banking houses are now held in thi:
country by deposits in the postal saw
ings banks.
But, as the Augusta Chronicle
says, in the South, where banking i
so well conducted, the people have
seen little that is attractive in posta
savings banks.
The deposits in the postal banl
at Dawson are less now than the.
were the first month it was openet
two years ago.

Is She Making Good?

One regrets having to do so, but
it is in order to call attention to the
American hen. She ought to be on
the nest laying eggs, but is she? Not
as much as could be desired, it is
feared. Custom house figures show
large imports of eggs from Germany
into the United States, brought here
to meet the shortage of the home
supply. And reports from Canada
say millions Of eggs will be shipped
from the Dominion to this country
during the month. Is the American
hen doing her duty, proving worthy
of the prestige and confidence she
has gained?
The American hen has truly been
a force for prosperity. Her products
eggs and chickens-in the United
states alone sold for more than $50,
100000 in 1912. But if the Ameri-
can hen hopes to hold her prestige
she will have to continue to make
good. 1t is disturbing thought that
one may have to rely on hen fruit
brought all the way across the ocean.
Is the American hen, too, of wan
ing YigOr?

The Pistol on the Hip.

On the subject of carrying deadly
concealed weapons this from the De-
troit Free Press is apt and pertinent:
"A revolver on a mans person
should be prima facie evidence Of
intent to kill. The argument that
q man carries a pistol for protec-
tiCn is nonsense. We covered the
police beat for two years, and we
cannot now recall a single in
stance where carrying a pistol was
the slightest benefit to a man in
trouble. But we do remember a
number of men who would have
been better off to have been IN
armed We have known silly quar-
rels to result in murder because
some hot-tempered individual had
the misfortune to carry a revolver
in his hip pocket. Graveyards and
prisons are full of persons who
would not be in either place today
had the pistol never been in
vented"
A case that illustrates very point
eddy what the Detroit paper says has
just occurred here in Southwest
Georgia. Mills B. Lane, Jr., was shot
and killed by his friend and compan-
ion, Nathan Williams. in Brooks
county after a trivial quarrel. Had
there been no pistol in the hip pocket
both men would now be living and

The friends of the Rev. T. D.
