What EugenicS Does.

The Baltimore Sun, commenting
on the danger of too much legisla-
ton on matrimony, declares that the
net result of Wisconsin's eugenics
law so far seems to he to discourage
marriage and promote immortality,
and wisely says: "A fine object les
son in hysteria! It is all right to
protect women from bad men, but
the last thing most womer want 10
be protected from is matrimony. If
the suffragettes and the squaw men
associated with them are responsible
for this law they have big account
to settle with the gentle sisterhoOd
of Wisconsin and other states, whose
motto is not votes for women. but
husbands, homes and children"
A kindred fad about which there
is much hysteria is that Of teaching
sex hygiene to school children.

Food and Feed First-Then Cotton
From the Progre ssive Farmer.

Once more let US impress the ne
cessity, in planning our cropping OPP
erations for 1914, for so arranging
that each crop shall go where it will
result in the greatest return to our
selves and to our land. And what
may be best for a single year is not,
very likely, for a number of years.
For instance, we may have a field that
was in cotton last year; that is still
fairly fertile; and that would pro-
duce a fair crop in 1914. If We were
only farming the land for single
year doubtless such a plan would be
most profitable to US. But good
farming demands that We look be-
yond one year ard so plan our work
that our soils, instead of getting
poorer year by year, will become
more and more productive. While
not an exhaustive crop in itself the
clean culture necessary in growing
cotton leaves the ground bare, thus
rapidly depicting its store of vegeta-
| bic matter. So, in making and re-
| tanning rich land, it is preferable
; that a soil-improving crop, like peas,

Let Terrell Do Her Part,

least, al advertising campaign to
bring to Georgia desirable citizens
citizens of proven character with
money, live stock, household goods
and agricultural implements in suf-
ficient quantities to make them de-
sirable in every county in the state.
The executive committee, cOmpos-
ed Of citizens from all sections of
the state, have decided that two
cents per capita of the population of
any given county would be its just
proportion of support to the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce each year for
three years, with the exception of
about twenty-five Of the largest
trade centers, which are expected to
subscribe more literally to its sup
port.
Terrell county's population is 90

would be about $40, or forty sus-

Terrell county has forty men who
will subscribe $1,000 per year for
three years.

least every other year, and every
year if possible. This is not posi-
bic where cotton is grown on the
same land year after year.
Then there is the widespread need
for more food and feed crops-a
need We can never supply so long as
our land is impoverished by an all
cotton system. We co not by any
means believe that the average
Southern farmer should eliminate
cotton as a surplus cash crop; for
few staple crops surpass it in this
respect. What we should all set our
faces against is its abuse, and the
habit we have of growing it too eX-
clusively. Our feed and fertilizer
bills and our eroded lands are little
less than a disgrace. 1t boots us lit
tie if we raise big cotton crops and
spend the net proceeds for materials
we can easily raise at home, and

The following from the last issue

affairs of the week was the domino

and pot plants. In the dining room,
where hot tea and sandwiches were
served by Misses lone Pollard and
Frances Owens, bamboo furnished
the decoration. The highly polished
table was covered with lace piece,
on which rested pink carnations and
ferns, and in the center stood tall
crystal vase of pink carnations. De-
licious homemade candies were en-
ioyed throughout the afternoon, and
at the close of the games green and
white cream and two kinds of cake
were served to the large number OF
guests at the smaller tables. Mrs.

The State3Without Money,

According to an Atlanta dispatch
it looks as if efforts are being made
to place Governor Slaton in a rather
ticklish position in the matter of
paying pensions to confederate vet
Grams and the salaries due the school
teachers of the state.
The state treasury is not suffi-
GENTLY equipped with funds at this
time to pay both the pensions and
the balance due the teachers, which
would require somewhere in the
neighborhood of $2,5O0,00O. There
is just about twenty per cent. Of this
amount now in the treasury, and by
February 1st the amount will have
been increased to a little more than
$1,OO0,OOO.
1t has always been the custom Of
the state to pay the confederate vet
Grams their pensions in the early part
of February each year. This plan
was departed from several years ago
and the veterans were paid in quar-
terly installments of 25 per cent.
each. They did not like that a bit,
and made it known in very emphatic
terms.
AS to the teachers Of Georgia, the
same situation confronts the state as
that which it has had to meet for the
past ten or fifteen years, only it is
worse. There is now due them on
their 1913 salaries approximately
S1,5O0,OOO. This situation will new
er be remedied until the state devises
some method of catching up with
the money due the teachers or gets
in sufficient funds for that purpose
as a result of the new tax equaliza-
ton law
On the other hand, the law now
requires that the confederate veter-
ans shall be paid their pensions not
later than May 1st o. each year. The
governor will have to work the prob
lem out as best he can. There is
really nothing new about it, except
that the situation is just little bit
worse this year than it was last year,
and unless something is done in the
meantime it will be little bit worse
next year that it is now.
The veterans will have to be paid
before May 1st under tke law, and
the governor will simply have to get
in all the money possible with which
to meet both claims. The situation
as to the teachers will never be i'm
proved until some definite solution
of this problem is reached.
The best and the only plan that
has yet been suggested to do the
teachers justice and relieve the state
of embarrassment was proposed by
former Governor Brown, but on ac-
count of factionalism and political
prejudice at that time ii was not
adopted.
Something must be done.
