Mr.. Bryan's Resignation.

Mr. William Jennings Bryan, secretary of
state, has rendered his resignation to Presi-
dent Wilson, and the president has accepted
it. The resignation grew out of lack of
accord between the president and his secre-
tary of state. The resignation created SEN
station in Washington and caused surprise
throughout the country. There are those
who rejoice and will say that the retirement
of the grape juice statesman is good rid
dance, and there are those who will view
the secretary's retirement with genuine re-
gret. There is no one who can rightfully
question the fact that Mr.. Bryan is one of
the ablest men in the democratic party, and
President Wilson has never needed the sup
port and influence of this able man more
than he needs it in the crisis that this cOun-
try is now facing, and the real friends of the
administration can but regret the friction
between the president and the secretary.
While it is the duty of all patriotic Ameri-
cans to uphold the hands of President Will
son in his firm stand for American rights
and the protection of American lives the
great majority of Americans sympathize
with Mr. Bryan's desire for peace and his
efforts as secretary of state to maintain
cordial relations with other nations of the
world.
However, while Americans as whole
approve Mr. Bryan's desire for peace they
do not want to maintain this end at the
cost of national dignity and self-respect.
The nation believes that Mr. Wilson will
avoid rushing into war if he can do so with
out jeopardizng American rights and Amer
lean dignity
If Mr. Bryan could not Conscientiously re-
main in accord with his chief on the franz
ing of the American note to Germany as
we'll as all other questions of administrative
policy he did right in resigning, and we be-
lieve that the incident will not impair the
confidence of loyal democrats and patriotic
Americans in either the president or the
retiring secretary.

Encourage the County Fair.

The ladies of the Library Association have
set a splendid example of pluck and enter
prise by determining, in the face of adverse
conditions, to launch the project of holding
a county fair this fall.
This same pluck and enterprise, as well as
the confidence that they will have the hearty
support and encouragement of the men, IS
going to make the fair a success, and it be-
hooves every man in Terrell county not to
disappoint the women in their expectations
of support.
There is nothing that so thoroughly ad-
vertises a county as a fair, displaying to VS.
itors from other sections what has been ac-
ccmplished by the enterprise of its citizens
Let every man. woman and child who can
prepare an exhibit for the fair and encourage
it by purse and presence.
That the ladies of the Library Association
will make success of the fair there is no
doubt, and the extent of this success is only
measured by the amount of encouragement
they receive from the men.

A Frank Case Viez0.
From the Albany Herald.

There are so many within-the-state ana
Without-the-state views of the Frank case
(nor are we within sight of the last or them)
that one Wearies of reading them and near
ing them discussed. But many are inter
esting, not few novel, and now and then
we find one that is unique. Certainly inter
esting is this view of the celebrated Georgia
case as we have it from the Columbia Is. 60
State, which says:
The Frank case is in one respect unique
among all criminal cases that we recall
Those who have had anything to do with II
officially, judge, juror, Witness PARDON COM
missioners, seem to consider that the law
has had it's course, that the prisoner is gull
ty, that there is no reason for interference.
On the other hand there seems to be won
derful unanimity on the part of those VINO
in the nature of things cannot know any
thing of the circumstances at first hand,
who have had least opportunity to know
the facts as produced by the evidence, in
declaring Frank innocent of the crime OF
which he was convicted
jury found Frank guilty.
A Judge sentenced him.
On two occasions the supreme court OF
Georgia refused to interfere in his behalf.
A United States district judge denied a
writ of habeas corpus.
The supreme court of the United States
sustained the lower federal court.
The New York Times and other papers
dissented.
Now the prison commission of Georgia,
before whom the case was brought for con-
sideration on the broad lines possible to a
board which has the power of recommending
clemency has also refused to upset the YER
dict and sentence.
What is the meaning of this uniform re-
luctance on the part of constituted authority
to exercise the right of interference with due
process of law? An eX-parte reader of North
ern newspapers might very we'll have con-
cluded that the case of Leo Frank consti-
tuted a sort of old style Armenian massa-
Gre" But it is not within our ideas of hu-
man nature or the probabilities of human
action that the fifty or one hundred intelli-
gent men, from jurors to the chief justice
of the supreme court, all acting under oath,
should have combined to fix the doom on
an innocent man. 1t begins to appear that
the Frank case has been badly muddled by
those who for one reason and another were
determined to muddy the water.

A Snake of a Man.

Somebody poisoned my dog today,
Though he never did any one i'll;
And so he is through with his canine
play
And his wagglety tail is still.
No more shall l walk in the fields with
him
Along at my side to jog.
And don't care if my eyes are dim
Somebody poisoned nay dog!
He was homely, know, as a dog could
be-
And only mongrel, too;
But I loved the old fellow and he loved
me,
AS people and dogs may do.
Nothing on earth could disturb his trust
Or his love and his faith befog,
And now he lies here at my feet, IN
the dust
Somebody poisoned my dog!
He crawled to my side and licked my
hand,
And then with a gasp he died;
And-though some people can't under
stand
I patted his head-and cried!
For it isn't funny to lose a friend
From off this earthly cog,
And he was loyal unto the end
Somebody poisoned my dog!
l wonder how any one could have done
This poor little thing harm;
But here he lies-his race is run
Though his body's still soft and warm.
Ny life is lived on a peaceful plan,
My pace is a quiet jog,
But wish I could find the snake OF
man
Who poisoned my little dog!

The Tide Cannot Be Stemmed.

Plans for stemming the tide of prOhibi-
ton that is sweeping over the country was
discussed by the National Wholesale Liquor
Dealers Association in Cincinnati last week.
There is no plan on earth that will stop this
mighty movement propelled by the prayers
and tears Of the good women and the chill
dren of the country Whether all Of us IA
vor statutory prohibition or not, it is ine7-
liable, and it is a safe prediction to say
that another decade will witness nationwide
prohibition and real temperance. The PEG
pie are being educated to the necessity for
temperance, and the strongest factor in the
movement is that the business world is de-
manding sober men in all lines of endeayor.
When a man faces the question of soberness
or starvation for himself and family it does
not require statute to make him decide
what he must do, and this is the real force
that is giving momentum to the prohibition
movement.

Modern Machinery On Farms.

The News desires to call particular atten-
4ion to the article in this paper of last week,
by Farm Demonstration R. H. Kent, in which
he stresses the Importance of modern meth
DDS and the use of modern machinery on
Southern farms. Mr.. Kent says that it is
time that our farmers quit operating their
farms by "main strength and ignorance and
substitute therefor scientific methods and
horse or gasoline power for man power. The
demonstration recognizes the fact that the
small farmer cannot afford to own and oper-
ate machinery for his farm alone, and sug-
gests the adoption of the cooperative plan
of communities buying and using together
the machinery necessary, sharing equally
the cost and maintenance of it. AS in all
business enterprises the cost of production
on the farm is the main item of expense,
and the only method of increasing profits
is to decrease the cost.
1t takes as much business enterprise and
intelligence to make success of farming as
it does for any other business enterprise, and
it is lust as important and necessary for the
farmer to be up-to-date as it is for the mer-
chant manufacturer, professional man or
tradesman, and the future of the farmer
who uses intelligence mixed with enterprise
is unusually bright and far-reaching. In
fact. he has not yet scratched the surface of
his hOundleSS ODDOrtunitieS,

An Argument Against Var
From the Savannah News.

When an army sets a great cloud OF gas
free to move against it's enemy it cannot Dc
sure that it will not find civilian victims IN
less it provides means of neutral1zlng II
after it has been free for certain numDer
of hours. Gas that will flow along the
ground, pushed by the wind, and remain
dangerous for many hours might drift mere
and there about the countryside, enterlns
houses far back of the firing line and killlns
mothers at their household duties, babies III
their cradles, and then the fathers in the
fields. the horses at the plows, the cows IN
the barns and even the chickens pecklns
at grains of corn in the barnyard:
The Petrograd correspondent of the Lon
don Morning Post tells how a quantity OF gas
set free by German soldiers moved down a
valley and not only drove out a Russian
but went on and killed women and children
and other non-combatants, while few horses
COWS or fowls remained alive in the deVas-
tated section.
What picture! A cloud moves along on
the ground. There is life, strong ana wy
orous if not happy, in front of it. When ~
passes there is the silence of death OF tN0
gasping of men whose doom has Deen piQ
nOunced The soldier is dead at MS pOaI
The mother lies on the floor OF her holl0
and the baby is forever quiet in its crau J{r

RUST IN WHEAT.

From the Triton Gazette.
Wheat growing in this immediate section
is largely an experiment. Therefore the
growers have much to learn especially as to
lands adapted to wheat, and as to fertiliza-
ton
There has been little complaint of rust in
wheat in Tiff county, but in Berrien, esp1-
cially in the vicinity of Sparks and Adel
several crops are reported to be almost ruin
ed with it. This loss by rust is no doubt due
to the wheat being planted on lands not suit
ed to it, to excess of fertilization, or to the
application of top dresser.
Mr.. J. R. Mercer, of Terrell the original
South Georgia wheat man, says wheat srould
never be planted on rich or low lands High,
well-drained land should be selected and it
should not be fertiliezd unless it is very
poor Too much moisture causes wheat to
rust and for this reason a top dressing, which
will give oats a beautiful color, will spoil the
wheat crop in the making.
Perhaps if our friends in Berrien will OBJ
serve some of these precautions this fall
when they SOW their wheat their crop may
escape the rust next spring. We are very
anxious to see wheat growing a success all
through this section because a measure Of
our prosperity depends on it.

Kitchener'S Call.
From the Macon Telegraph.

The call for 100000 recruits issued by
Lord Kitchener, it seems to us on this side
of the pond, should have been made long
ago. Perhaps had it been Antwerp had not
fallen.
The delay recalls the fatal error of JEFF
ferson Davis. When Mr.. Toombs was secre-
tary of the Confederate States, in a cabinet
meeting, he urged that every available man
in the COnfederacy be called out at once.
President Davis replied: 'Why, Mr..
,ToOmbs, we have not arms for those in the
field now"
But answered Mr.. Toombs: "Sir, we will
capture them in the first battle. Nothing
con withstand the enthusiasm of our soldiers.
Take advantage of this enthusiasm. The
first battle will be fought near Washington.
Have so, 600 or more fresh troops to take the
place of those fatigued in battle and we will
rush on and capture Washington and com
mand peace" Events proved the sagacity of
Mr. Toombs.
After the battle of Bull Run, when Presi-
dent Davis met Stonewall Jackson, Jackson
said: "Give me 5000 fresh troops and I'll
have Washington by sun-up tomorrow
But Mr.. TOombs' advice had not been fol-
lowed and there were no fresh troops
England should have called out every
available man at the start, adopting Mr..
Toombs' idea. Had she done SO Antwerp
had been saved, and all this submarine and
torpedo business been averted. England
knew Germany had been preparing for
twenty years.
Mr. Davis blundered; so did Lord Kitche-
ner.

The Poor TOzVn.
BY Walt Mason.

You say that things are on the blink at
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. there's no chance
there for any king, no odds how he may
hump. The town has moss all up it's back,
it isn't up to date, its outlook's poor, its
trade is slack, you think you'll pull your
freight. I've met some bright and hustling
lads from Punktown now and then; they say
it is the best of grads for active, hustiing
men. They say you'll find the finest Jail, the
largest village pump, the longest list of men
with kale, at PunktOwn-b y-the-Dunp. The
Punktown climate has no faint. so goes their
joyous song; the Punktown boys are strong
If you would join that boostful bunch and
shoot your crouch away, you soon would
have a better punch, and put UP far more
hay. For when fellow blames his town
because he doesn't shine the tired onloOkers
set him down as one who lacks spine.
There never was q town so cum it would
refuse a prize 10 one who tries to make
things hum with ardOr in his eyes. There
never was a town so fine that it would give
all to one who springs an endless whine
while others saw their wood.
