SUNDAY DINNER AT THE
HARRINGTON HOUSE

The Harrington house now serves
regular Sunday dinner at the popu-
lar price of fifty cents and the hostess
invites all her friends to call once
and give the house a trial. The din
ing room of the Harrington is the
most spacious in town and the lofty
ceilings and broad porches render
this the coolest place for eating that
can be found in the southern country.
The chef of the Harrington is mas
ter of his art and one visit is certain
to make a regular patron OF all
guests. 1.W-Sat-ti

A Great Opportunity

The federal department OF agrl-
culture has sounded the tocsin OF
alarm and sent out the warning that
beefsteak may in the near future
command a dollar a pound unless
the raising of cattle is transferred
from the West to the South.
1t is we'll to heed the advice, adj
mOnishes the Birmingham Age-Her-
aid. as the fact that the number OF
beef cattle in the United tSates has
dropped off six million in the last
three years warns us that the day OF
dollar-a-pound steak is not far dis
tant. The value of beef cattle has
almost doubled in three years, as the
price at present is $31.13 compared
with that of S19.07 in 1910. Owing
TO the decrease in the numbers of
cattle, hogs and sheep the value OF
these three classes of meat animals
have correspondence risen, and they
are worth today $1,920,0S7,00O as
compared with $1,354 100000 in the
census year. This is an increase in
valuation of $395,S74,OOO.
These figures are full of portent,
and proclaim the great possibilities
that rest with the South in the rails
ing of beef cattle.
And in this connection it is inter
esting to note that The Herald re-
Gently reported the sale in Albany
by a Southwest Georgian of drove
of beeves at a net profit of about
$500 each.

THE CALL OF THE LAND.

Engulfed in the sordid city,
And deaf to my warning cry,
| have seen you reel and stumble.
| have seen you faint and die;
7 have heard your throbs of anguish,
I have heard your groans of pain,
And I raise my voice to save you.
[ reach you my arms again.
Are you broken in heart and body?
Are you shrunken in mind and
soul?
Haste back to me, your mother,
And my care will make you whole.
Are you shaken in faith, discouraged?
Are you buffeted, bruised, sore?
Creep out to me from the cutters,
And I'll make you men once more.
1t throbs through noontide brushes,
Where gaunt street canyons yawn,
1t thrills in the traftic's bushes,
In the dark before the dawn;
Now vibrant and tense with pity,
Now ringing with sharp command,
Summoning souls from the city
Hank to the Call of the Land!
I've fed your mouths from my bounty
OluC6 udyS NuGu SOu IOllCu h1ClIN'
And turned up my virgin meadows
With your spades of wood and
bone.
l have watched your eyes : ow rest
less,
have seen you pause a,-d part,
Drawn from your ancient mother
BY the lure of the court and mart.
Come out to me in the open
From the night where you cringe
and grOpe;
Let your thews grow hard with labor,
And your hearts grow big with
hope.
You shall stand with your heads in
the sunshine,
You shall stand with your feet on
the sod,
And your faith in me shall lead you
To a surer faith in God.

The Dead Hand.
BY Charles SteIZIe.

II 1920 the famous Jukes family
consisted of a lazy, irresponsible fish
erman and five daughters In five
generations the known descendants
numbered 1900 persons.
At about the same time Jonathan
Edwards died, leaving large family.
In 1900 as many as 1894 of his de-
scendants were identified.
OF the 1900 descendants of Jukes
3 10 were professional paupers living
in almshouses, 440 were physically
wrecked by their own wickedness,
more than half of the women being
immoral, 1870 were convicted crimi-
nails, so were habitual thieves, seven
were murderers, and 800 died in in
fancy.
But note the list of Jonathan Ed
wards descendants: Thirteen college
presidents, three United States sena-
tors, 65 college professors, 80 judges,
100 lawyers, 60 physicians, 5 Off
GERS in army and navy, 100 clergy
men, missionaries, etc, 60 authors
and writer's, 295 college graduates,
so public officials.
One was vice-president of the
United States, several were govern
Crs of states, membe IS of congress,
mayors of cities, ministers to foreign
courts, etc
Almost every department of edu-
cational, political and religious life
has felt the impulse of this healthy
and long-lived family.

ANOTHER ONE FALLS.

From the Savannah Press.
What is there in Wall street and
the financial district in New York
that makes so many men go wrong?
William ]. Cummins, one time
head of the defunct Carnegie Trust
Co.. who was convicted nearly three
years ago of the larceny of $40, 900,
was taken to Sing Sing prison from
the Tombs on Tuesday to serve out
a sentence of not less than four years
and eight months and not more than
eight years md eight months.
By reason of appeals and other
moves counsel for Cummins kept
him out of Sing Sing for 900 days
after his conviction.
This item is on its surface Of in
different interest, as it seems to have
been just another case of too much
high finance in the street that isn't
straight.
But the lesson of it lies in the
fact that Mr.. Cummins is a South
erner. He went from Tennessee to
New York to meet the high financiers
there at their own game and he fell
into dishonest ways. His is no iso-
lated case. New York is filled with
men who go there from more or less
obscure centers and try to make a
fortune in the New York way. And
too many of them land in Sing Sing.
1t seems to require a strong constitu-
ton to buck Wall street and much
stronger will power to save oneself
from it's constituencies cOntamina-
ton.

BENEFITING RURAL CONDITIONS

From the Cuthbert Leader.
At the Methodist church in Cuth-
bert last Sunday Rev. n. H. Will
liams stressed the blessing of having
a country and a home.
Man, he said, was made out of dirt
and his successful development seems
to depend somewhat upon the soil.
The finest types of manhood and wO-
manhood come from the country.
City life tends to luXuriOusness,
RIGHTEOUSNESS and decay. The coun-
try and the small towns are ideal
places for homes. He spoke of the
independence and healthfulness of
farm life and the desirability of at
tractive and happy homes to make
the young people content to live in
the country. The home is the basis
of national greatness. A man will
sacrifice his life in defense of his
home, but is not willing to die for
his boarding house.
The sermon is on a line with
cOmmendable movement in this dis
trict to benefit by practical methods
rural conditions. Presiding Elder Ell
lis has arranged to hold meetings in
various portions of the district on the
fifth Sunday in March. On Saturday
specialists will talk to the people re-
garding various features of farming
and farm life. On Sunday there will
be religious services conducted by
able preachers.
1t seems to us that these meetings
are calculated to do good. They are
planned along practical lines, and if
rural conditions are benefited the
state will be benefited.

What 1t Stands For.

The Terrell County Chamber Of
Commerce, recently organized by
leading citizens of Dawson and Ter
rell county, has for its object the adj
vancement, in every possible way, of
the commercial. industrial and agri-
cultural welfare of Terrell county
and the towns in it by bringing about
the cooperation Of all public-spirited
citizens. whether business men, bank
ers or farmers.
Such work must be carried on by
united effort. 1t is the duty OF eV-
cry citizen to support the CONNER
cial organization. Every man will
share in the good results, and few
should not have to furnish all the
money, thought and time for the up
building of the entire community.
A commercial organization has be-
come a necessity. 1t is a factor in
the general business of community
that is indispensable. A commercial
organization is maintained in every
town and city in Georgia that Is
alive to it's opportunities, and they
are working all the while to get new
business and for their growth and
development.
We must have a strong, active or
ganization in Terrell county to get
our share of the development, and if
your name has not already been en-
rolled as member you should see
the secretary at once and take your
place among the Terrell county boost

THE APRIL WOMAN'S
HOME COMPANION

The April Woman's Home Com
panion contains the clearest and
most interesting report of the mill
tant movement in England that has
yet appeared in any American peri
odical. 1t is called John Bulls Mil
liant Daughters, and is written by
j. Nilsen LaurVik. The article shows
exactly wherein English women are
Disseminated against by English
laws, and although it does not, of
course, justify violence it at least
explains it.
Other interesting articles in the
April Companion are: THE New
Freedom For Little Children" by
Mary Heaton Worse; The Other
World" by Charles E. Jefferson; "A
Two-Weeks' Trip in Italy" by Albert
Lee; Amateur Dramatics," by Sally

A further report of the Better Ba

4 SHOWDOWN FOR
THE TAN PAYERS

From the Farm and Homestead.
What becomes Of the tax money
paid into a county treasury? What
is it spent for? Who gets it? How
we'll do the county commissioners
distribute the benefits?
Is the tax money being spent eff
GENTLY, without loss or waste? Are
the commissioners eXtravagant or in
competent?
What does the county changing
cost? What is the county changing
doing? And so on and so on.
All this is information which the
tax payers of every county ought to
have and which the tax payers of
Rockdale county get every year.
The little year book issued by the
Rockdale commissioners answers all
these questions in detail. 1t is sent
to every tax payer in the county.
The stupidest property owner can
easily know all there is to know
about the money affairs of the
county
This little booklet shows from
whom all money was received, how it
was spent, and what for, and who
got it, down to the last man and the
last cent.
Official Competency.
Last year the average cost of a
convict per day, for provisions and
tobacco, was u cents; clothing
"a cents; drugs and medical atten-
ton p cents. The average daily
cost of feeding a mule was so cents.
The total daily expense of the road
gang was rs cents a day per convict,
against $1.25 a day for free labor.
That is to say, the county chain
gang saves $16.S0 a day or $5,272
a year.
Last year the county spent $28,315
on roads.
The roads were built under the
direction of Mr.. T. P. Stanley (the
road supervisor employed by the state
prison commission, and whose ser
vices are free to any county who may
desire them) and there are no better
roads in Georgia.
Flying squadrons are kept busy
doing the necessary patching OF roads
in the various districts.
The county has issued no good
roads bonds; and has no indebted
ness, bonded or otherwise. The year
ended with a balance of $4,000 in
the treasury.
If any county in Georgia can make
a better showing than Rockdale we
should like to know about it and eel
citrate it properly.
The commissioners of every county
in the state ought to issue to the tax
payers every year a similar simple,
detailed, ship-shape, business-like
statement.
A copy can be had from Hon. W..
J. Fakes, Conyers, Ga.

OId-Time LONELINESS,

In an article on the "Old-Fashion-
ed Back Yard and Its USE a cor
respondent of the Atlanta Constitu-
tiQn says;
ooh, for the oId-fashioned back
yard for our children to play in,
that they might be kept off the
streets
A writer says home lies mostly in
the kitchen and the back yard" And
one knows Immediately the type of
home which he has in mind. And
there is something refreshing just in
the thought of it. A place where the
primary interests of life are not too
deeply obscured by the things which
we have put about them-a house
where one sees glimpses of the cook
ing processes, where one knows by
actual eyewitness what is going to
be had for dinner.
1t was this style of home, says the
author, which lay at the bottom
of our fundamental American
strength 1t was the pioneer habit
of ass0ciating with rude actualities
which bred a wholesome sturdiness
and simplicity we can i'll afford to
lose. Something of the charm Of an
oid-fashioned kitchen with warmth
and sunshine and open windows
something of the democracy of an in
innate touch with production and
consumption, something Of the
homely life that radiates genuine
comfort, is needed in our presen
somewhat jumbled scheme o
things"
Not that we are without kitchen
and backwards, but we are inclinini
overmuch in the direction of cramp
ed and elegant apartments beyon'
our grasp and extravagant taste
which are out of accord with GU
power of production. We need t
return to some of the vanishing sim
plicity Of the old-fashioned kitche
and the neighborly. sunshiny back
yard.

Justice to Newspapers,

Publishers of newspapers are to
be congratulated. The movement
that was on in congress to. double
the rate for transmission of news
papers through the mails did not
succeed, and is not likely to be heard
of again this year Had the propo-
sition become a law the rate would
have been a real burden to many
publishers. There is no profit any
way on subscriptions, and with the
postage rate doubled many of us
who are printing newspapers would
nave to look around for supple
mental revenue-maybe run for
governor, or congress, or the United
States senate, or some other sort of
big paying office. Let us be thank
full that the rate stays where it is.

The Andalusia Ala Star reports
that a representative OF ChlcaSo
commission house is there buying
sweet potatoes at 70 cents a bushel
for shipment to his firm. Last year
MANY carloads of sweet potatoes
were shipped from Andalusia and
vicinity. Every farmer in Terrell

a ready market for everything our

scarcely anything that cannot be
