Throughout the country the women
are needing the call of public service.
They are to be found in constantly in
creasing numbers in positions of trust
under the city, the state ard the
national government, and are amply
justifying the confidence placed in
them.

The Cost of Hog Cholera,

The Inauguration of a countrywide
campaign to eliminate or control hog
cholera is urged in a special report
by Marion Dorset of the bureau of
animal industry, who estimates that
during the past year $6O,OOO,O0o
worth of hogs died of the disease.
After experimenting for more than
twenty-five years the department of
agriculture finally discovered a serum
that is claimed to be preventive Of
the disease, and which now is being
distributed in thirty states. This
work, however, Mr.. Dorset says, has
not resulted in a noticeable diminu-
ton of the disease in the country as
a whole. Suggesting a nationwide
anti-cholera campaign he urges that
the serum be used as a basis.
Southwest Georgia has suffered
heavily from hog cholera. and not
withstanding all the serums and 9TH
er connections of the scientists will
continue to do so until the proper
care and attention is given hogs. In
conversation a few days ago with Mr.
A. +. Holt. an extensive and success
full farmer of Macon county, he told
the editor of The News that ne never
loses a hog from disease, and las
year killed fifty fine porkers and vii
increase the nmber 10 seyenty-fv'
this year. He pays particular atten
ton to the food given his hogs, keep
a quantity Of hard domestic coal
of which they are very fond, wher
they can get it at all times. and ha

A farmer went to town TO spend
Some OF his haTd-earned dough,
And in q merry jest and just
To show his printing skill
He printed his initials on
A brand new dollar bill.
He spent the bill that very day,
Down in the village store.
He thought it was forever gone,
And he'd see it never more.
But long before the year rolled by
One day he went to fill
a neighbor's order and received
That self-same dollar bill.
Once more he spent that dollar bill
In his own neighbOrhOod,
I Where 'twould do himself and friend;
The most amount Of good.

MONEY WON'T BE SCARCE.

From the Savannah Press.
The Triton Gazette sees in the
cotton receipts at the port of
Savannah one of the reasons
why money has been scarce in
South Georgia this year. The
season which closed Friday of
last week reported decrease of
1,O7S,803 bales compared with
the past season. That was loss
of about $6O,O0O,0O0 in trade,
nearly all from South Georgia
territory Dawson News.
Judging from the way the cotton
has begun to sell our next returns
will be way ahead of the receipts O.
this year. So don't feel blue ovel
past returns, but think what money
will be made this time on the cotton
won't be as scarce as it has
been.

The StOrg Of a Dollar Bill

As some bad pennies will,
And then each time he'd go and spend
That marked one dollar bill
Had he been wise that dollar bill
Might be at home today.
But just two years ago last June
He sent it far away.
The people who received it then
l knew have got it still,
For twas for western corn and hay
He spent his dollar bill.
No more will that same dollar
Come back into his hands,
And never more will help to pay
The taxes on his lands.
| He's sent it where it never more
Will greet him on his way:
He's spent it buying western mules
| And corn and pork and hay.

"HdDSeed'' Makes
Some Dissertations

The interest now felt in the vel
fare of the country boy and the coun-
try girl is sufficient to move a heart
of stone. The town boy and girl may
continue to live in the unWholesome
! city and breathe the Yitiated air,
jump the counter, visit the picture
shows, go to the pool and enjoy life
/ to the fullest, but nobody is alarmed
and nobody is disturbed. But the
entire state and body polite are
alarmed for the country boys and
girls. Men from the agricultural de-
partment and from the schools and
colleges are paid large salaries to
prepare our boys and girls for agri-
cultural pursuits. Those people so
interested and determined in the ad-
vancement of the country youth are
all from the towns and cities. The
man in the country is calm and Sc
rene in the pursuit of his calling. He
is raising for his own use chickens,
ducks and turkeys, corn, peas, pota-
toes and turnips and is happy in the
fact that he is able to live at home
and board in the same place. Not so
the fellow in town. His beef and
bread and butter come high, meal is
high, -four high, meat high, and he
contends that too few people are en-
gagged in agriculture. He wants
cheaper foodstuffs. He wants eggs,
butter, corn and potatoes and all ag-
ricultural products made cheaper.
Not for the benefits of the man in
the country, but for the good of the
fellow who is so fortunate as to live
in town and who has to buy those
products. He talks long and loud Of
the dignity of labor the greatness Of
country life; the hallOwing, sooth-
ing and inspiring influence of COM
muning with nature and with ma
lures God; and the grandeur of the
man whose hands are hard with toll.
But he takes good care to keep his
sons and daughters in the city
schools, and when they emerge there
from he hunts a good, safe, lucrative
position in the shade of the city for
his noble offspring. 1t would move
the heart of a fallen angel to pity
to see the crocodile tears shed in our
now over the country boy |
and girl But let meat drop to six
cents, corn to sixty cents, -four to
$500 per barrel and the labor of |
good hand drop to fifty cents per day |
and they would swear that you may |
throw labor to the dogs, we will |
none of it,
Oh, the consistency of selfish man.
Everybody wants a shady place for
himself and his children, but he
would like to have every other body |
in making cheap agricult-
ural products.
It is a fact that if our young men !
and women could secure a better liv-
ing and better wages in the country !
than they can secure in town they
would flock to the country, notwith- |
standing the severe heat of the sum
mer's sun and the pitiless moaning |
of the winters blast Self-interest |
prompts us all to move. Respect |
fully, HAYSEED.

Honor Thy Father and Mother

In this busy, rushing, high-press
ure age it is good to see men conspic
uous in the commercial and indus
trial world keeping their minds upon
or turning back with earnest rever-
ence to the simple life and strong
though unpretentious, virtues of an
age that is passing out.
The Fort Worth Star tells of a
prominent Texan who has recently
manifested this feeling and sentiment
in a most striking and appropriate
way in the construction Of hand
some memorial building on the farm
where he was born to the father and
mother who lie buried there, and
who pointed out to him through
childhood the honorable way of life
that he has followed through many
important enterprises and great sue
cess to high business character.
The dedicatory inscription on the
building gives a clear index to the
kind of parents he had to guide him
and the kind of a man their precept
and example have made of their
son
ITO the Freedom of the Christ
ian Religion and the Promotion OF
Education"
This beautiful building is set aside
for the use of any and all christian
organizations on Sundays and made a
free school for the community at 9TH
er times. This Texan is a wealthy
man and could have erected a great
in marble or imposing
to his parents. That he
has chosen this form of filial express
sion speaks much for him and them.
When boy he followed the pillow
across the same fields surrounding
the village where the memorial
stands, and no doubt his father
taught him to follow it well and
make the rows straight. The old ,
fashioned people of the earlier days
who schOoled their sons and daugh- |
.ers in usefulness, industry, self-reli- |
ance and persistence of laudable eff
'ort were indeed the exemplars of |
ligh purpose and lofty aspirations, |
and no doubt if this mans fortune !
should vanish he could, if need be, !
20 back to the farm where he titled |
he soil as a boy and till it again in
courage and cheerfulness, setting the |
same example in patience and forti-
.ude that was set for him in times !
past.
He has shown the commandment !
10 Honor thy father and thy moth |
err" has always abided with him, and |
ne has expressed himself in manner |
highly creditable to his own charac- |
er, and eloquent of true respect and i
'everence.

FIGHTING GRASS TO RAISE
COTTON TO BUY HAY


From the Home and Farmstead.
Nobody defends our all-cotton ma
mia.
The farmer is like Lovey Mary.
Says she, Il learned better long ago
and forget it every minute"
Because cotton under ordinary con-
ditions of seasons and culture yields
far larger per-acre cash return
than any other standard crop in the
South our farmers are overwhelming
ly devoted to cotton growing.
The foolishness of it appears only
when you rub your eyes and look
about a little at the end of the year
to see what has become of the vast
sums of cotton money turned loose in
the cotton belt
And the harder you look for it the
harder it is to find it.
A cotton producing dollar can al
most be heard to sing, 20 that | had
the wings of the morning, that l
might fly away and be at rest"
Elsewhere in our columns we have
reprinted a piece of doggerel, The
Story of a Dollar Bill.
1t is what SiTas Wegg would have
called poetry"
1t is indeed a clumsy jingle, even
after it has been re-vamped some
what; but it has in it a very pro-
found truth.
1t is the story of a dollar pro-
duced by the farmer who raises cot
ton and buys everything else he
needs.

The News Has a Birthday.

With this issue of The News the
paper completes its thirty-frst year
and launches out into the thirty-sec-
ond satisfied with the past and conf
dent of the future. The News has
enjoyed a continuous existence long
er than any other newspaper ever
published in Dawson or Terrell coun-
ty, and the publisher is proud of the
support that has made this fact pos
sible.
And it is in reference to the sup
port which has been accorded The
News in the past by readers, adver-
tisers. correspondents and others
who have contributed so materially
to it's upbuilding in the years which
have passed that we are satisfied.
The News can refer with pride to as
loyal a constituency or CLIENTELE as
that enjoyed by any other paper any
where, we believe, and this realiza
ton makes all the tasks and burdens
of our work pleasant to bear
But with the part which the man
agement has had in making the paper
what it is we are not so content
There have been defects and short
comings which we have endeavored to
remedy, and we fully recognize that
the paper is not all it should be. On
the other hand, we are striving at all
times to make it better than it has
been before-a policy to which we
shall always adhere-and that we
are successful to some extent at least
is evident we take it, in the steady
increase in circulation and advertis-
ing patronage.
The people have been exceedingly
kind to The News in every way. 1t
numbers among it's readers heads of
many households where a single is
sue has never been missed. Men and
women who began reading the paper
as little children now have homes of
their own, and are kind enough to
tell us that they consider it a house
hold necessity, as it keeps them in
formed on the more important hap
penings and forms a source of educa-
ton to their own children who are
now its devoted readers.
To all such readers and the many
hundreds of Southwest Georgians
who peruse it's columns, the adver-
tisers who have maze the continued
existence of the paper possible
through their liberal patronage, the
country correspondents who have
made the pages of the paper attract
i've with their bright. newsy letters, |
and our contemporaries over the !
state who have aided US with their /
kindly words of fraternal support we
desire to convey our profound |
thanks, and to express the hope that
the paper will be more useful during /
the coming year and throughout all |
the other years that lie ahead.

these little chips off the Standard Oil
