BY GERTRUDE MARY SHERIDAN,

A nod or shake OF the head was

he had applied these definite tactics

his visitor, Alan Barrett.
Again the shake of the head and
the keen old merchant drew some pa.

cate that the incident was closed and
that he wished to get back to his own
personal business.
The younger man seemed dreadful

There was dn interruption. Mr..

him to another part OF the building.
He made such haste that he neither
asked Alan to go nor stay. The lat
ter had not said all he wished to say.
but he mentally decided that it would
not do him much good to prolong the
interview.
He sat staring vaguely at a full
page advertisement in a daily paper. IL
announced that Dorsett and Co. would
present a l2x20-inch American nag

That following was patriotic local

THE NEW CORN BELT.

The South is being advertiser as
the new corn belt" and in view OF
its increased production of that grain
and it's capabilities OF still largely in
creasfng its greatest records Of past
production it is well entitled to be
designated by that distinctive name
saws the Cincinnati Enquirer.

marvelously well for the growth O
corn. and with the improvement II

AN ORIGINAL KU KLUX.

John B. Kennedy's death last Fri
day at Lawrenceburg, Tennessee,
would have interest only for his rela-
tives and acquaintances but for the
statement made in obituary notices
that he was the last survivor OF the
original Ku Klux Khan. This society
according to a book on the Khan pub
lished this year by Eyre Damer OF
Alabama. was composed Of six young
men of Pulaski county, Tennessee
That county, by the way, continued
to be the headquarters of the Khan
even when, as an interstate organl-
cation. under General Forrest, it had
a membership of $4,000.
Though it was in a sense organized
outlawry, the Ku Klux Khan, whlcI
fourished directly after the war
served a good purpose in the South
and was largely instrumental Il
bringing order out of chaos.

SOME SOUND SENSE.

The Central railroad, in circu-
lar recently issued, says: "a bushel
of corn grown in Georgia is worth
more to this railway than a bushel
of corn grown in Kansas, even
though the railway may receive a
freight charge for hauling the Kan
sas busheI. while the Georgia bushel
may never see a railway train, Why?
Because the Georgia bushel repre-
sents a dollar which stays at home
and adds to the prosperity of the
territory served by the Central, while
the Kansas bushel represents a Geor-
gia dollar gone to enrich another sec
ton"
The Central railroad has done and
is doing much to develop the natural
resources of this section. 1t is just
as much interested in the develop
ment and prosperity of the country
il traverses as the people themselves,
and no agency has contributed more
earnestly and intelligently to that
end.

A MuIti-MiIIionaire Farmer
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Young Vincent Aston has job. He
is not going into a rolling mill to
learn that business, and he isn't go
ing to join the white Wings in
New York city. But he has job,
and it is a mans sized one, at that.
He has chosen the big task OF his
life He has selected the field of ag-
riculture with a view to aiding hui
mainly. Young Mr.. Aston is wise.
When the richest man Of his years in
the world sees in the farm his best
opportunities to help his fellowma1
the back to the land movement
has received a very notable recruit.
The relations between city man
and farmer have been undergoing a
change in recent years. They are get
ting closer together The city man
is finding out how dependent he is on
the farmer. He is learning that the
solutions of some big problems Of
the future is going to depend upon
whether the farmers, in numbers and
in progress, keep pace with the ad-
vancement of the world as a whole.
M. Astor will be but one among
thousands who are studying agricult-
ural problems, but he can do very
great deal to help. He deserves to
be congratulated upon his choice of
a job. His example might be follow
ed with profit, although, of course,
upon a more limited scale by other
New York families.

In New York newspaper Mr.. Tai
colt Williams, head of Mr. Pulitzer's
school of journalism, is reported as
having complimented the students
upon the fact that, while only two
passes were given to the Becker trial,
seven students got into the court
room and three others got on a war
ship without any passes at all. Mr..
Williams is quoted as saying that the
students of journalism had learned
two most important lessons, 'To get
into places where you are not want

not want you to find out" That's a

operate so disadvantageously as to
overshadow all the good that might

vision. But congress risked the good

THE LATE B. H. BROWN.
p. T. SchIey Lodge, f. and A. NJ.
Passes Resolutions OF Respect.


To the Worshipful Master, War
, dens and Brethren of P. T. Schley
Lodge, No. 229, F. and A. NJ; Your
committee appointed to, draft resOlu-
tions on the death of Brother B. H.
Brown submit the following:
When the noble and generous
heart of B. H. Brown ceased to beat
earth became poorer and heaven was
enriched. OF him we can affirm with
certainty and in truth: The orb
which cast its radiance about us has
indeed gone down, but it's luster
fingers to light the pathway to duty
and endeavor."
Benjamin Hooks Brown was born
in Duplin county, North Carolina,
January 9Th, 1880, and came from
that state when a child with his
parents and settled in Marion county,
Georgia. He located in Dawson in
1858 and continuously resided in this
place until he died on the 8th day
of this month, February, 1918. He
was a valiant and loyal confederate
soldier and served throughout the
civil war in General Wheeler's cav
airy. He was a charter member of
the Dawson Methodist church and a
most faithful and consistent one;
and he was an active worker in the
Sunday school, having been for many
years its efficient treasurer.
Brother Brown was a Jealous and
devoted member of the Masonic fra
ternity, having been raised to the
sublime degree of a Master Mason by
this lodge on the 9th day ot Deem
Der, 1870. He had at various times
most acceptably filled important sta
tions in our lodge, having occupied
the position of worshipful master and
past master and no Mason among
us acid a warmer place in the hearts
of his brethren than did our esteem
ed late associate. In view of the
foregoing, therefore, be it resolved:
list. That in the death of Brother
Brown P. T. Schley Lodge has sus-
tanned a great loss and has been de-
prived of one of it's oldest, most
faithful and most highly esteemed
members.
End That the community has lost
a citizen of great worth and moral
force and one of whom it could be
truly said: "His life was gentle and
the elements in him so mixed that
nature might stand up and say to all
the world, this was man.
3rd. That a page on our minute
book be dedicated to his memory,
having inscribed thereon the date of
his birth and death, and when raised
to the masters degree, and that the
furniture of the lodge room be ap-
propriately draped to express our
sorrow.
4th. That these resolutions be re-
corded on our minutes, copy sent
to the family of our deceased brother
and a copy furnished to the Masonic
Herald and to The Dawson News for
publication. Respectfully submitted,
JAMES G. PARKS, Chairman
J. G. HOLLINGSWORTH,

The Farmer And His Supplies

From the Augusta Chronicle.
Here in Terrell county, where,
for the last several years there
have been raised from so 10 100
bushels of corn per acre, wagons.
heavily loaded with corn shipped
from the West have passed
through the streets of Dawson,
hauling it to the farms. 1t is
mystery how farmers cam expect
to raise to cotton on land which
has to be heavily fertilized 10 pay
for corn shipped hundreds of miles
and make a living, much less make
money.-DawsGn News
All of the weekly papers are-and
have been for years printing eau
ton" suggestions like this. Follow
ing the corn clubs campaign there
has been some improvement, but it
will be years, it seems, before the
effect of the proof that the farm
supplies can be grown at home will
be fully appreciated.
Following such innovations as the
magnificent corn exposition, which
has lust closed in Columbia. and the
corn expositions which are beins
planned in Augusta. and which are
being held throughout the South
Georgia farmers will be found Twins
more at home while enjoying ais
, their monopoly in cotton growing.
The farmers themselves will con
tribute to the degree of rapidity @
greater prosperity in the South b
the rapidly with which they then
selves inaugurate methods of grow
1 ing on each farm all the supplies fC
D that farm in so far as they can.
