A short trip on the railroad IN
either direction from Leesburg will
serve to SHOW to any aggressive and
intelligent farmer the need Of grain
crops, This is lesson the Central
test farms have been endeavorina
for years TO impress on the farmers
Of Lee and adjoining counties.
The Lee county test farm on tbs
line of the Central just a few milea
below Leesbnrg shows the rich green
Of vigorous, growing oats and other
grain crops. This farm has been
used to show to the planters Of Lee
county the value Of vetch and other
excellent winter cover crops, as well
a. that Of oats, which have long
been grown 10 the county, though
not as extensively as there was
need.
In Terrell county the same lesson
is being taught the farmers in a
practical way by these test farms
So it is in Sumter, Dougherty ard
Worth and in every county Of South
Georgia and in the entire state where
the Central has the roads. Each
winter for years these test farms
have been used to show what winter
cover and grain crors were bestand
how these crops should be grown in
varying soils.
This practical demonstration hat
been accessible to large number d
farmers, and there have been many
Of them who have taken advantage
0, it. This winter especially this
lesson has been brought home of the
farmers as seldom before. Acre at
ter acre OF good, rich Lee county
land has been sown in oats and il
now green and hourishing. The
Central's work has been excellent
in this and in many other ways
The people Of Lee county are realiz.
ing this more fully than ever, ano
they are showing their appreciation
Of it also.

The recent killing adds another
to the far TOO numerous crimes Of
violence which have stained the fair
name Of Lee county. What has
been done can never be undone.
But it is possible, nay it is Of the
most vital importance TO Lee ooun-
~ and its people, that the law shall
take It's righteous coursein thismat-
ter. That is not all. It is the sacred
duty Of every citizen to do every
thing within his power to see that
truth and Righteousness do prevail.

Albany People Want . chautauqua

The decision Of The directors Of
the Georgia chautauqua, reached At
a meeting several weeks ago, not to
hold an assembly this year because
81 hard times" has failed to set
tie the matter.
Sentiment seems to be playing a
large part in the agitation which
may result in an assembly being
held this year. There have been
% chautauqua assembIiesin Albany
in % years, and many Albany peo-
pie are unwilling that the chain be
broken now, even if conditions are
not quite as favorable as they have
been in the past.
At conference Of those who are
insisting that an assembly be held
in the spring, another meeting for
next Monday afternoon, to which
the public isinvited, was called, and
definite action for q 1915 assembly
may then be taken. Chautauqua
is an institution very dear to Albany
people, and the assemblies are lar
gely attended by people from sur
rounding communities. Many Of
Of the protests against having no
assembly this year have come from
Out-of-town.
The Albany Woman's Club took
the initiative in seeking to have an
assembly this year in spite If the
chautauqua directors decision.
They called the FIRST meeting, and
many Of the club's leading members
are enthusiastically boosting the as
sembly movement.

A Time For Wisdom and Sane
Judgment.

A veritable upheaval has fallen
upon Lee county as the result OF the
deplorable occurrence here last
week. AS the result Of the killing
Of A. D. Oliver the people Of Lee
county have been stirred as has sci.
dom been true in the history OF the
county. Nothing comparable to
present conditions has taken place
here since the Childers murder case
a few years ago.
AS in the former case, the people
of the county havs not been slow to
take sides in the matter. It may be
truthfully said that already most OF
the people Of Leesburg and the en-
tire county have arranged themsel-
yes either on one side or the other,
or are rapidly doing so. AS 3 re-
suit, public feeling is running high,
There are such strong and appa-
rently conflicting trends Of public
sentiment. it seems, that unbiased
and impartial judgments are with
arrived at with much difficulty.
In view of such disturbed condi-
tons Of public thought, it appears
that the present is a time
when it behooves all fairminded and
well-poised citizens to hold their
tongues and to reserve their iudg-
ments until the facts in the case are
better known. Rush, hasty opin-
ions, expressed in noisy and hys-
terical manner, can do little or no
good in clarifying public sentiment.
Give the muddy waters Of public
opinion time to clear and to show
more plainly what the truth may
be. It is time for wisdom and
sane Judgment rather than for the
examinations of preiudiced minds.
No harm can be done to the truth
or to justice by calm Dispositions
te consideration Of the facts now
known, or to be procured, while
much mischief may be done by
reckless speech and actions.
Some Of the best known citizens
Of Lee Co. were charged with hay
ing had direct or indirect connec-
ton with this deplorable affair. 1t
is but asking for what the law
guarantees when we plead for calm
and unprejudiced consideration Of
the rights to which these men are
entitled az citizens Of the county.
It should be the earnest desire Of
each citizen of the county to aid in
every way in seeing that every one
against whom q charge has been
made are given fair and impartial
justice.

NO GERMAN PROPOSALS:
PEACE MUST BE LASTING
Imperial Chancellor Outlines kaser's
VieWs-Says Germany Awaits
Enemy's Propositions.

Berlin, Dec. 11-Germany will make
no peace proposals to the allies, but If
the entente powers offer terms COM
patible with Germany's dignity and
safety, the German government is will
ing to discuss them. Imperial Chan
cellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg so an
nounced in the reichstag.
The chancellor was cheered as he
rose to make his promised reply to
the socialist Interpolation on the ques-
ton of peace, and he was cheered
again as he frankly stated the gov
ernment's position. He had just re-
turned from a conference with EN-
peror William at army headquarters.
AS long as in the countries of our
enemies the guilt and ignorance OF
statesmen are entangled with confu-
sion of public opinion" said the chan
cellor. lit would be folly for Germany
to make peace proposals which would
not shorten but lengthen the duration
torn from their faces.
AT present they speak or war OF
humiliation against US. We have to
reckon with this fact. Theoretical ar
guments for peace or propositions will
not advance us, will not bring the end
nearer.
If our enemies make peace PROPOSE
tions compatible with Germany's dig
nifty and safety, then we shall always
be ready to discuss them.
The war can be terminated only
by a peace which gives human Iert1-
+ude that it will not return. We all
agree about that. There is and there
will always be the root of our
strength"

MEDICAL MEN ALL OVER WORLD
WATCH EXPERIMENTS AT

WISCONSIN PIONEER IN MOVE
State Places Stamp Of Approval on
Operations on Inmates of Home
for Feeble Minded-Other
States May Follow.

Chippewa Falls.-Medical men all
over the world are watching expert
ments at the Home for the Feeble
Minded in Chippewa Falls, where.
stamped with the approval of the
state, science is making its first or
ganized attempt to prevent the propa-
cation of incompetent children.
Wisconsin's sterilization law, passed
in 1913, is the first of it's kind to be
placed on the statute books, and other
states are watching results OF expert
ments conducted here. Operations
have already been performed on two
groups and it has been announced
Christmas. Physicians say the first
operations are success. and 1t Is
predicted that the plan in which Wis
consin is the pioneer, soon will be &C
cepted in other states.
Preparations for the opera tons were
carried On so quietly few persons,
even among the attendants at the in
stitut1on, were aware of any unusual
activity. The scientific world, how
ever, has had its eyes on Chippewa
Falls ever since it was announced the
new law would be given its first test.
When It was learned that the state
board Of control had appointed board
OF examiners, consisting of DR.. A.
Sherman Of Oshkosh, DR.. J. r. Lyman
Of Eau Claire and Dr. Wilmarth of
Chippewa Falls there were somn pro-
tests from relatives of inmates who
lacked information about the proposed
operations. These protests were
quickly stilled when 1t was learned
that there was no danger connected
with the operations and that in no
case was an inmate operated on un-
less he had first been examined and
passed by the board and the permits
sion Of relatives first obtained.
