SOME SCENERY.

From the Saturday Globe.
He was enraptured with the seem
cry. His fair companion at the
country resort sat upon the stone
wall beside him.
Behold that exquisite sunset!' he
exclaimed. Mote the delicate flesh
tints, the cream shades, the long
dashes of vermilion, andthe almost
living fire that leaps up from the
sinking sun as from fountain. Be-
hold the framework of darkening
skies and of deep green. Isn't it
wonderful?''
His fair companion sighed heavily
You just bet it isl" she exclaim-
ed. ''It looks just like a great big
lobster salad"

For Dismission.

Georgia, Terrell County.-Where-
as, ]. F. c. Daniel, administrator of
Mrs L. M. Johnson, represents to the
Court, in his petition, duly filed and
entered on record, that he has fully
administered Mrs. L. NJ. Johnson s
estate, this is, therefore, to cite all
persons concerned, kindred and cred
itors, to show cause, if any they can,
why said administrator should not
be discharged from his administra-
ton and receive letters of dismission
on the first Monday in May, 1914.
This April list, 1914.

THE FARMER WHO WORRIES NOT

From the Griffin News and Sun.
The Georgia farmer who is plant
ing more corn and making more corn
per acre, who is looking after his
hogs and cattle and poultry and the
like, is the farmer who is not worry
ing SO much about the advent of the
boil weevil. OF course he would be
glad to get rid of that pest, but if
the weevil comes he will take care
of him after he gets here.

The MadisOnian thinks it isn't any
wonder that beef is selling at 20
cents a pound in Georgia. 1t notes
that the Country Gentleman states
that there are fewer cattle in Georgia
than in 1860; $4,000 fewer sheep,
and 4S5,O0O fewer hogs; that, while
the corn yield has steadily increased
Georgia annually imports 8O,OOO,OOO
bushels; and that, with the value OF
the cotton crop deducted, there is
$37,0OO,OO0 on the wrong side OF
the ledger.

SUGGESTS MIR. STEVENS.

From the ROCkmart News.
While discussing prospective gu
bernatorial candidates what is the
matter with Hon. o. B. Stevens? If
he should enter the race he would
have thousands of friends all over
Georgia hurrahing for him in less
than no time. There is not better
man in the state than Uncle ODE,
and he would make such race as
one rarely sees. And he would make
Georgia a governor that she would be
proud of. He may not want to run,
but he has host of friends in every
county in the state who would like
to see him do it.

Ny hands are gnarled and horny.
My face is scanned with sun,
My path is sometimes thorny,
My living grimly won
BY labor unremitting
And hard and bitter toll;
Forever | am pitting
Ny strength against the soil.
The city's lights and glamor
Are not for me to know,
but neither is its clamOr,
It's squalor and its woe.
Not mine its pleasure places,
But mine the good brown loan,
THE air. the open spaces,
The quiet peace of home

In Winnepeg, Manitoba, the wind
blew so furiously as to tear freight
car from its fastenings and send it
along the track at the rate of sixty
miles an hour. The car Travelled wild

into a passenger train with such
force as to be thrown completely on
top of the locomotive which it struck.
That was some wind, and almost

That the Back Bay, the aristocratic

ty dogs to every infant, a full score
of kennels to each perambulator, was
the assertion made by Representative
John L. Donovan, the mayor of Chi
natown,' in opposing the bill author
izing cities and towns to provide for
the care and disposal of homeless
dogs and cats. The tendency towards
more dogs than babies is not con-
fined to the aristocratic section Of
Boston. Regrettable as it is, it is
the case everywhere.

The Savannah Press notes that
there are still lap pensioners on
the roll of the United States from
the last Mexican war, which was
fought over three score years ago,
and there are 5,123 widows still
drawing pensions. 1t gives an idea
of the lasting drain war makes on
the public treasury. Grand children
of men and women unborn will pay
pensions on account of the present

A WICKED WASTE OF WEALTH

From the Home and Farmstead.
In the fiscal year 1911-12 the Unit
ed States spent upon the army $107,-
7S7,00O; upon the navy $136,69O.-
600, and in federal pensions $170.-
100000. 1t is a total of S418,177,-
900.
These three items call for nearly
half of the total annual expenditures
of our government.
1t costs us $1,314 a year to main
tain a soldier N our army as against
1878 IN Greet Britain, $306 in Ger
many, $232 in Russia and 1882 in
Spain.
Now, all this money spent fol
army and navy support is simply
waste" says Uncle Henry Wallace
ct is just so much wealth wiped
out of existence"

The Drainage Question

A. the annual conference of the
National Drainage Congress, which
uas held in Savannah last week, the
discussion was largely devoted to the
always pressing question of protec-
+ion from the periodical floods OF the
.i,,or lands in the Mississippi basin.
Do,u-aan the mouth of the Ohio river
and tbe gulf there are 10000 square
miles 2O.OOO,0OO acres, of the rich
act land in the world subject to re-
.,,,rranr overflow. Only One-quarter
of this great territory, larger than
Bolqium and Holland combined and
one-half as large as England and
Wales. is at any time available for
cultivation The remaining 5000
600 acres are unpopulated and I'M
productive,
The Mississippi drains thirty-one
states wholly or in part, about forty
one per cent of the area of the Unit
ed States. 1t lays under contribu-
ton states as far east as Pennsyl-
vania and New York and as far west
&C Montana and Wyoming. 1t has
well been called ''the nations drain
age ditch"
But the damage done when the
great river breaks bounds has been
enormous. and has borne heavily on
the contiguous Southern states es-
peciaIly. In 1912 the loss between
Cairo and the gulf was estimated
at $4O,OOO,OOO; in 1913 at 100000
600. and these are but isolated items
in the long list of destruction in the
past and in the future, too, unless
the question is dealt with soon on
broad and generous basis.
The six states bordering the lower
Mississippi already have spent $780,
900 900 for flood protection, as
against $27,OOO,O00 expended by the
federal government. Over 1900
miles of Ieyees have been construct
ed along both sides of the river, but
while their utility is obvious and
recognized there still remains the
great problem of the reclamation and
protection of the waste stretches
now lying derelict and deserted.
These Southern states do not COnsid-
er that they should bear the whole
expense of controlling floods that
come from twenty-five other states,
and although they would benefit
enormously by any national meas
ares taken they contend that the
problem is primarily a national ono,
to be solved by the central author
ity.
The National Drainage Congress de-
clares that the development of the I'M
populated and unprotected stretches
between the Ohio river and the
gulf would add more to the nations
wealth than the Panama canal and
at about one-seventh the cost. The
extensive drainage system, the clear
ing of lands, the digging of the nee
essary bitches, the building of lev
ees required and other improve
ments would entail a large initial
expenditure which eventually would
be repaid to the nation by the own
ars of the reclaimed lands.
The National Drainage Congress
is doing good work, but its propa-
ganda will be much more effective if
it succeeds in awakening the nation
81 legislature to a sense of duty long
neglected.

The Farmer.

And. though by all my labor.
I win no mighty prize,
l still can face my neighbor
And look him in the eyes;
l am no Spectator,
Within the wheat pit hurled;
/ am the wealth creator
Who helps to feed the world.
On with the Empire-makers
Who bring a better day,
I till my thrifty acres
And bow to no mans sway.
My gold might heap up faster
Were l TO crook the knee,
But no man is my master,
And I am strong-and free.
