Wars Heaviest Burden.

That it is a glorious thing to die for ones coun-
try has been a maxim ever since men began to
group themselves into nations for better protec-
ton or along seIf-evident racial lines. Seldom
has the famous saying met with open condemna-
ton until the days of modern internationasm, and
the much more recent preaching against patriot
ism as the root of the war evil. Men have gone
on bravely dying for national ideal, and grateful
nations have rewarded their sacrifice by helping
to care for those they left behind. If they have
survived the conflict the trials they have under
gone the wounds they have suffered, are miti-
gated by nations praise and a nations meager
care for their material welfare.
In the midst of war the ultimate cost is seldom
reckoned Still only recently the English chan
cellor of the exchequer warned his country to be
prepared for enormous burden account Of
pensions, and it is possible that the great ma
lions of the continent with their huge armies are
regarding with concern the accumulation of a
debt that will remain long after the material losses
of the have been recovered.
There is no comparison in cost between our
civil war, the greatest of the struggles in which
we have been engaged, and the gigantic conflict
going in Europe Yet, pension
system opens up great vistas of the tremendous
burden that Europe will have to bear as contin-
uing charge which cannot be computed.
government return shows that the United
States is paying pensions to 74S147 persons,
including ,O99 on civil war account, who act
ually fought in wars, to their statutory
relatives. The total paid in pensions last year was
$165,518,268 That amount is by means a
negligible annual charge even in this country. No
one can hazard a guess at the annual amounts that
the present belligerents will be paying for war
pensions, so 60 or even 100 years from now,
account of the great war. 1t is debt that must
be paid to the last cent, one that can never be
repudiated by the successors of those who are send
ing their peoples by millions to the battlefelds of
today.

The Governor Call.
Jas. Galloway in Macon Telegraph.

The Alabama legislature meets once in four
years. 1t has just adjourned after a session of
HIty days Inc legislature passed very stringent
prohibition bill. Their efficiency of business man
agement, doing in session what in Georgia
requires four sessions, is an example of dispatch
from which Georgia learn. In the first twelve
months OF Governor Harris administration there
will have been three sessions of the Legislature
costing $4,000 each-the June session of 1915
the extra session. and the regular session of june
1916.
Atlanta is a very enticing city, and if fifty days
IS not long enough play OF political tactics can
bring an extra session.
The farmers of Georgia .representing every Sec
ton Of the state, in their recent convention in At
lanta, opposed agitation of the prohibition meas
ufeS III the extra session the ground that While
always urgent yet at this particular time they were
not emergent; especially so as these measures are
hrst on the calendar for June 1916, and cannot be
displaced. The governor regards them emergent
and includes them in the call. Those urging the
measures in the call" insisted that seven months
time would be gained and that was reward sufh-
Gent to warrant the extra expense of extra ses
sion This view prevailed
Besides. those who forced the extra session have
promised to 'be good not even look carving
knives at each other and not block business they
out in good faith then the grave opprehensions
concerning the appropriation bill will be removed
The Atlanta bosses on their part have also prom
lsed to be good and not attempt again to con-
troll legislation, but leave the legislature unham-
pered Thus everything points to no fight on
the appropriations for state institutions. the au-
vent of the boil weevil and the nationwide de-
mand for preparedness and the state institu-
tons being fundamental to Georgia'S prepared
ness and performance of her part, have caImeu
the spirit of the last session, and the promise u
be good bespeaks future of harmony

Lazy DAYS.

These the early days of autumn, are lazy
days. little stirring of the atmosphere in a
wholly aimless way does not ripple the
puddles. The trees droop the flowers and the
weeds go to sleep There is almost sound
from the animal world Dogs almost forget to
bark; children have no impulse to 'holler.' "
Yet if one gives heed he will find a sound that
is almost not a sound Insect tambours have
not been senced discouraged. Their mono
tone is not deadly; for it brings drowsiness and
content rather than irritation. There is only sub
conscious perception of it, for it has no point of
variety to fix the conscious attention.
Out in the pastures the golden weed rests in the
stiffness; on the brooks dark mirror the water
flows and darting water bugs stride and dart
neryously; crows fly with just sufficient eXertion
to keep themselves afoat in the air: wood peewee
calls once, and then startled by the moist hollow
ness of his voice decides in favor of dumbness
Such days are the distant augures that the
years work is soon to verge into the years rest
time. The corn, waving and rustling, has gained
majestic stature, and ripened into golden grain.
ChinQuepins and hickory nuts are plentiful and
ready for the hand of the ambitious explorer of
the forests. 1t is time of the year when it is good
for folks to rest and to think very little.

A Hard Winter Predicted.

It is said that old-time Indians claim that every
sign indicates the approach of a long and a cold
winter according to stories coming from the reser-
yations out West and elsewhere where the red
skins have their habitat They say squirrels al
ready have begun storing up nuts, the bark on
trees is thicker than ordinarily, the summer has
been abnormalIy cool and wet, the migration Of
birds has already started, and that dozen other
signs which, according to the aborgines, never
fail all go to forecast a severe winter. 1t is no.
ticeabe that the fu-blooded Cherokees in the Spay-
NAV country are making unusual preparations for
winter For the first time in years they have stored
up a surplus of fuel and food, and are advis-
ing their white brethren to do likewise.

Mr.. Morgan's Gift.

Even the tiniest scars left by the war between
the states have about disappeared. Every day there
comes new evidence that this is true. One of the
latest perhaps, but one showing which way the
wind blows is the gift of ]. P. Morgan to the
presiding officer of the Virginia court of appeals,
to be disposed of as the latter sees fit of the will
of Martha Washington.
The will was taken from a Virginia court house
by federal soldier during the war few years
ago it went to Mr.. Morgan's father by purchase
and now the son is doing the magnanimous thing
by sending it back where it properly belongs
There isn't much real sectionalism left, and the
little that remains is disappearing so rapidly that
ere long there will be none of it at all.

Reasons for Buying at Home

The reasons why you should buy at home-we
are talking to the housewife now. Suppose your
husband is a physician, who has located in your
city to give his skill and knowledge to the people,
and contributing through taxation, to the build
ing and support of your schools churches and 9th
er municipal enterprises-if your neighbor needs a
doctor how would you feel if your husband was
ignored AMI one brought from distant city?
If your husband is dentist would you like the
people of your city to ignore him and go elsewhere
for treatment?
If your husband is a lawyer, mechanic or
skilled in any other trade profession isn't it per-
fectly natural for to expect his services to be
sought. engaged and paid for at home?
No matter what your husbands business or in
terests may be you expect the patronage of your
own townspeople This is natural, and it is right
If you buy from a ma-order house. ignoring your
local merchant, the home merchant is unquestion-
ably justified in feeling exactly as you feel in such
those cited above
hundred years ago it was the custom to pro-
duce right in the home most of the things required
for home use. But your city grew, bringing
wealth and greater comforts to your househoders
stores were established where all could trade con-
veniently and economically. Today, therefore, the
retail merchants of your city are established for
The sole purpose of supplying the people with the
things they need at a fair price.

Don't Kill the Birds.

The above is the good advice of the Savannah
New which says there is a reason why birds in
Georgia should have greater protection than ever
before That reason is the boil weevil. Most if
not all birds, says our contemporary are fond of
a meal of weevils, and the partridge is partic-
uarly happy when it have weevl for dinner.
Georgia boys, anyhow, should be taught to pro-
tect rather than to kill birds 1t is natural for
youngster as he goes down the road or across the
field and sees bird in range to look for a mis-
siIe to throw at it. That is because he has not
been told often enough that birds are the best
friends farmers have. Certainly there should be
no killing of birds now with the boil weevil wide
scattered in the cotton fields

sHoRTHoRNs BY THE CARLOAD.

From the Savannah Morning News
Terrell county has gone in for cattle raising in
the right way. The other day w. j. Mathis
farmer received a carload of shorhorn cattle from
North Carolina eleven of them heifers for breed
ing and the rest steers to be fattened for the mar
ket. J. D. Weaver and T. B. Raines will each re-
ceve carload of the same kind of cattle in a few
days. With J. R. Mercer and H. A. Petty they
are described by The Dawson News as pioneers
in the stock raising industry in their section.
They fighting the boil weevil improving the
grade of cattle in Georgia, increasing the produc-
ton of meat and at the same time are providing
a means of enrichng the soil of their farms.
Boil weevils are in force already in Terrell coun-
ty; one of them was found crawling the street
in front of a Dawson hotel the other day. 1t is
high time that more attention being paid by
farmers there to crops other than cotton-a state
ment that applies with equal force to most other
South Georgia counties. Cotton must continue to
be raised in great quantities in Georgia. but there
must be also crops of meat grain, hay and vegeta-
bles to feed Georgia people and live stock.
