Biffs The FadiStS.

Bishop Gambler, of the Methodist
church, South, has little patience
with the pleas that are heard these
DAYS in behalf of what is known as
"eugenics.' and some kindred move
ments called reforms" The infiu-
ence of these fads, the Bishop says,
is anything but wholesome. Many
well-meaning and worthy men and
women, Bishop Gambler believes, are
misled by foolish enthusiasm and
thus promote ideas and movements
that work harm instead of good.
The eugenists look upon the prop
er.eontrol of marriage as the deVout-
Iy desired consummation toward
which all religions, all morality and
all ethics in the past have pointed.
The race is to be made perfect by a
wise selection of parents. Tendencies
toward good will be fostered. Ten
denotes toward evil will be killed out.
The "fittest" will not survive" and
will be propagated and cultivated.
Virtues of all sorts will grow, and
vices of all sorts will be ruthlessly
cut right out.
But, as our contemporary, the Sa-
Vannah Press, says, 'eugenist fanat-
les forget that some of the feeblest
bodies have supported the most brill
liant minds; that some of the worlds
greatest inspirations and most i'm
polling ideas have been set up by
men and women whose physical ma
lures were weak and deficient. We
could not feel much confidence in
board of eugenists whose duty it
would be to find a better method of
improving the race than natures plan
of natural selection. Somehow We
believe nature is a better judge of
the thing to preserve than any sci
enlist the world has yet produced"

WASTE OF EGGS.
ON the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
BY some process of figuring the
department of agriculture has learn
ed that eggs worth $2O0,O0O,OOO are
lost every year by being either bro
ken or kept on hand so long that
they spoil and are unfit for food. The
department imparts the information
that the egg when the hen presents
it to the world is invariably a good
egg, but presumably begins to de.
teriorate at once and if not consumed
shortly or treated chemically or stor-
ed properly is soon unfit for human
consumption.
Eggs to the value of 100000
are lost by being broken while being
handled or while being shipped
Those who like eggs so we'll that
breakfast does not seem complete
without them may feel like saying
things about the careless folks who
cause such an immense breaka ge
but would like to say much harsher
things about the folks who hold on
to eggs until they spoil, for three
eggs are lost by spelling to one lost
by breaking.
The department goes further on tc
say those eggs are four out of every
ten the country produces in a year
or in other words, two-ffths of the
labors of the great American hen are
in vain. That, it seems, is hardly
fair to the hen, let alone to the con-
sumner. Before talking of how tC
make hens lay more it would be well
to talk about how to take care of the
white and yellow wealth they already
are giving to the country.

Cotton Growing In Spain,

A United States consul located in
Spain gives the interesting informa-
ton that while that country imports
$23,O0O,000 worth of raw cotton an
nually, nearly all from the United
States, and its manufacture of cotton
goods aggregates about $8O,000,00O
each year, very little of the raw ma
terial is produced in the kingdom
However, experiments have been
made in growing cotton in South
western Spain with promising results,
so much so that it is asserted that it
will be one of the big agricultural
industries of he2future:' A firm OF
Texas cotton planters laid down an
experimental plantation on the banks
of the. GuadaIquiTir river, with Sc
Iected American seed, as far back as
1905 The crop produced was es-
teemed excellent and totaled 1920
pounds of raw cotton, which return
ed 900 pounds of clean cotton val
ued at 1854.
Several other experiments of a like
nature have since been undertaken
by the government experiment sta
tons at Sevil and Jerez de la Front
ers, but nothing on an extensive com
mercial scale has actually been &C
complished.
There has also recently been pro
9ected scheme for growing cotton +
south America by an organization t
be backed by Spanish capital.

WHAT THE WOMEN DO NOT Do

From the Jones County News.
An exchange says: Our attent on
has beer called to the fact that we
never saw a bald-headed woman. ="
Well, what of that? There are good
many things we never saw. We new
er saw a woman sit on dry goods
box and surround herself with filthy
pools of extract of tobacco sprayed
through her teeth. We never saw
one go fishing with bottle of bait in
her hip pocket, sit on the damp
ground and go home drunk at night.
We never saw a woman yank off her
coat, give her pants a hitch, spit on
her hands and swear she could whip
the biggest man in town. Come to
think of it, there are a good rlany
things we never saw a woman %, and
do not want to, either.

A Sad State of Affairs.
From Home and Farmstead.

Two sausauge makers in Dalton.
two in Marietta and ten in Atlanta
are singled out by name ana their
goods condemned as misbranded or
otherwise illegal.
Indeed. names are everywhere Civ
en-. Anybody can know who those OF
unclean or impure food are in Geor-
gia. Send for the report and read it.
The common notion is that the
meat products of the Western pack
ers are beyond suspicion. Not so
The meats of three of these concerns
were condemned as undt for food IN
Atlanta, Savannah and Americas.
Sausages and oysters in Atlanta
are in i'll repute.
They are perhaps no better in any
other city in Georgia.

It's the Way Of 1t.

From the Oglethorpe Echo.
We see going the rounds OF the
press that amply drives home the fai-
lacy of sending off to mail order
houses for goods that can be bought
at home this story:
Down in Alabama some time ago
man went into store to buy saw
He saw the kind he wanted and ask
ed the price. 1t was s1.65 the dealer
said.
Good gracious said the man;
Il can get the same thing from the
mail order house for S1.35."
That is less than it cost me- said
the dealer, but I'll sell it on the
same terms as the mail order house,
just the same"
"All right" said the customer.
You can send it along and charge it
to my account"
Not on your life" the dealer re-
piled. No charge accounts. You
can't do business with the mail order
house that way. Fork over the cash.
The customer complied.
Now, two cents postage and five
cents for money order"
What"
Now, two cents postage and five
cents for a money order to mail or
der house, you know"
The customer, inwardly raving,
Kept to his agreement and paid the
seven cents.
Now twenty-five cents express
age"
well, I'll be" he said, but paid
it, saying: Now, hand me that saw
and I'll take it home myself and be
rid of this foolery."
Hand it to you? Where do you
think you are?. You are in Alabama
and I'm in Chicago, and you'll have
to wait two weeks for that saw"
WhereupOn the dealer hung the
saw on peg and put the money in
his cash drawer.
That makes $1.67," he said. at
has cost you two cents more and TAX
en- you two weeks longer to get it
than if you had paid my price in the
first place"
To this some other telling facts
might be added:
Had the farmer sent off for that
saw the money would have been lost
" the COuluI OCllCl w LOO IL
would have found its way into the
local banks to have been loaned to
some one in the community to start
or enlarge or operate some industry
that would have brought more peo-
pie into the community to buy the
farmers eggs and potatoes and the
like and he would have doubtless
handled the money several times
over during the year.
Or it would have gone so far to-
wards enabling the local merchant TO
carry a better assortment of goods,
or in doing a larger volume of bust
ness for less prices.
Or it might have done many other
things if kept at home that would
have in the end been of benefit to
the farmer.
But then had the Alabama local
merchant advertised the fact that he
had the saws the farmer needed for
sale, that he was offering them at a
price that was two cents lower than
could be obtained from the mail or
der house, expenses considered, or
that the farmer would not have to
lose two weeks while waiting for
them to come from the mail order
house.
Let the local merchants put such
facts before the home trade and the
mail order house will not bother
them much if any. The home trade
is not appraised of the fact that they
can get things at home; they are by
advertising that the mail order house
has them for sale.
That Alabama farmer was not al
together to blame for being disposed
to send his order off to that mail or
der house. He was from Missouri"
and needed to be told what he could
do at the store of the local merchant.

This strong point against the suf-
fragettte movement in the South is
made by DR.. Loyett, the able editor
of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate:
IF the woman suffragists wish to
help the country through the votes
for the women why do not they &C
cept Senator Borah's proposition to
allow only the white women to vote?
The refusal to do so carries with it a
very serious situation for the South,
if 100000 negro women are to be
allowed the privilege of the ballot
The woman suffragists in their in
tense desire for what they call their
rights would make a very serious
situation for the Southern people"

NO TRUE BILL IN M0YER CASE
Michigan Grand Jurors Consider Chief
ly Question of Attack on Miners
Chief-MacNa Named.

Houghton, Mich, Jan. ga no
true bill" was reported on Saturday
by the special grand jury which has
been investigating the alleged kidnap-

Mr. Nichols, special prosecutor, said
he had explained to the jury that. IN
his opinion, the statute on KIDNAPPING
did not apply to the deportation of MT
Meyer and Mr.. Tanner because the
union men were not forcibly sent out
Of the state, but were left to take their
own course this side of the state line
and because there could be no possible
claim that there was any intent to con
fine them against their will within the
state or hold them in service out
