LITERARY SOCIETY PRO-
GRAM TONIGHT

The regular fortnightly pro-
gram Of the Pennington Liter
airy Society will be given to-
night, beginning at 8:15, at the
High School Auditorium.
The program will open with a
selection rendered by the Flat
River Orchestra, under direction
of Mr.. Hugh Porter.
The first thirty minutes will
then be filled by a talk on some
interesting topic by Hon. Wal
ter L. Hensley.
Following this, the three mem
bers of the faculty Of the Schu-
bert School of Music, Mr.. Porter,
Violinist, Mrs. Nelson, Soprano,
and Mrs. Forsyth, Pianist, will
give a varied program Of one
hour, choosing their numbers
mainly from the lighter classics.
The program is sure to be an
unusually interesting, entertain
ing and instructive one, as it
was last year when the Schubert
faculty gave one entire program
before a packed house.
The experience hitherto at
these programs, as well as at a
recent musical program given
here, with the annoying inter
ruption and embarrassment arts
ing from the crying of small
babies brought to the entertain
ments, has induced the Program
Committee to ask the public who
attend the Literary Society pro-
grams to be kind enough to leave
the babies at home. 1t is more
embarrassing than many per-
sons realize for an usher or any
one else to go to the mother of
a crying infant and ask that it
be removed, so as not to disturb
whomever is trying to sing, play
or speak from the platform, so
it is deemed best to ask that this
annoyance be prevented by leav-
ing babies in arms at home in
stead of bringing them to the
entertainment. ids
The place for a child, as has
been pointed out by the mana
gers of the Chautauquas held
everywhere, is at its mothers
side, where youthful prankish-
ness can be controlled and child
ish impotence be restrained.
Therefore, it is again asked that
the children be not permitted to
congregate upon the front seats.

Rev. Mitchell of the M. E.
Church conducted devotional
exercises in chapel on Monday
morning and delivered very
pleasing and inspiring address.
He has a strong sympathy for
young people of school age and
gave expression to the same in
his address.
The student body is delighted
with the success of Pennington
High School foot ball team in
last Saturdays game with Per-
ryville High School. The Perry
vile boys outweighed our boys
about ten pounds to the man and
since they had played our last
year strong team no-score
game, but small hopes were en-
tertained for a Pennington vic
tory. This was especially true
when one considered the fact
that all the Pennington players,
except three, are new men," So
well has coach Alternately train
ed the team that in spite Of their
handicap, they forced the con-
test into Perryville territory
from the very beginning of the
game and kept it there practi-
cally throughout the game.
Both teams worked valliantiy |
and with credit to their schools.
In the fourth period Halle re-
ceived pass from Mckinney
and with his usual burst of speed
crossed Perryville's goal line for
the only score of the game. Per-
ryville has a congenial bunch of !
fellows" in the team and the
relationship existing between
the two schools is most cordial
About seventy-fve Perryville
enthusiasts accompanied the
team and showed their loyalty
~ some capable school yelling.
Another game will likely be
oIayed with Perryville before the
close of the season.

on the South will be unbearabIe. Geor-
gia last year had 100000 acres in
cotton. If the crop is reduced barely
one-third there will be 1000, 900 acres
less than last year that must go into
food crops or remain idle. If idle
the laborers will flock to town for
work, and there will be no such work.
There is widespread fear 1--WE know
it from personal touch) that there are
many farmers who can't find cash
markets for corn, oats, hay and hogs,
in towns where they do their wagon
trading. Not only will the country
towns have to provide these markets;
but they must let the farmer know it.
Recently we announced through
the press in response to many COM
plants of no markets, that if any
farmer. who could not sell corn, hay,
oats and hogs would write to us, we
would endeavor to find a market for
him. Every mail brought streams of
letters. We were surprised 10 find not
only how inadequate the markets are
but also how Indifferent are business
men of the average Georgia town on
| the subject.
1T is actually true that we are send
ing out of Georgia every year to the
Northwest for foodstuffs, chiefly corn,
meat, -four and hay, about $17O,O00,-
900, and yet no provision for local
market for those products in Geor-
gia.
Few farmers grow enough of any
one food crop to make car load and
city wholesale dealers can handle only

SAVANNAH, Fa., Jan. 9.-That the
South and Georgia especially is facing
the m8st serious problem since the
wzx between the states because of the
-eutton situation, was the statement of
sEsrzrfes J. Haden, of Atlanta, presi-
d<zHt of the Georgia Chamber of Com
EeTre. in an address before the Sa-
yaunah Board of Trade.
He referred to the staple as THE

money being the tape line that meas
ures values. Therefore in the swap
ping game, Georgia is paying five
times as much for meat we eat than
it paid forty years ago. in 1860 Geor-
gia's population was about one-third
of now. But it then had 485,O0O more
hogs than today.
After taking a careful estimate
from the best information both in the
Northwest and in Georgia, it remains
beyond serious doubt that hogs up
to medium size can be grown in South
Georgia for one-third of the cost in
Indiana"
Mr.. Haden declared that cotton hal
never paid for the food Georgia eats.
He said it's production is not con-
trolled by argument, but because the
people have inherited the habit.
The average farmer has no idea of
the cost of production. He has in
herited the habit of cashing out every
fall and he wants to see the mony in
his hands if it only stays there short
time. We are playing the game year
after year against loaded dice"
Mr. Haden said it is a question for
the town man to solve; that it has
been proved that farmers will not CO.
operate and that campaign must be
waged to educate them as to the re-
ouirements of the market.
Declaring that unless the cotton
crop of 1915 is greatly reduced a great
crash will be heard as the South can
little longer stand the strain, he said
that probably most of all Savannah
is concerned because it is pre-emi-
nently a cotton city and the gateway
of Georgia to the sea.
He told of conversations with cap
tains of vessels in which they dis
played intimate knowledge of Florida
and other coast states, and countries,
but knew nothing OF Georgia and
blamed the commerce of this state for
lack of initiative. He cited similar
instances in other lines defying any
one to find a single dried fig in a shop
here produced in Georgia, despite the
fact that they grow naturally in this
state and are allowed to fall to the
ground and rot.
"It is one or the most serious things
Georgia ever saw" he said. How is
it to be remedied? The farmer won't
do it. The cities and towns must take
the initiative.
Denmark takes two-thirds of the
cotton seed cake produced in Georgia
We are shipping away the best cat
tie feed on earth, and our cattle are
starving. 1t will go on forever unless
men like you and I take it up. Geor-
git has 300 days a year when grass
grows. Illinois has 14O. Yet we are
buying grass from Illinois,"
He declared that while Georgians
boast of the growth of the state that
it was a dangerous growth as every
community depending on a single crop
comes to grief sooner or later. Urg-
ing assistance in the campaign. he
pointed out that the life of every
town or city depends on the farm.
Mr.. Haden explained that the state
chamber was formed to fight the boil
weevil, which he said was delayed by
frost, but is sure. to cross Georgia in

leaders indicated that they were about

began to walk in small circle. When the
sheep were again quiet, slowly edged
nearer.
This performance l repeated several
times. At length, when the fascination
had worn off this trick, lay down, rolled

muttering a jargon of talk. The sheep,
with heads high actually advanced nearer
to see what it was all about. And after
an hours work was within fifty feet of

W7HEN you've lived among animals
w for a long time, as have, you learn
that they all have certain individual
characteristics, just like human beings.
Bears have their special character
istics; wolves theirs; and mountain sheep
have one trait that stands out above all
others. Their bump of curiosity is the
biggest bump in the animal kingdom.
Playing on the Sleeps Curiosity
A STRANGE sound, wandering ami
NAL of another tribe, or the distant
doings in another valley will always arouse
their curiosity to the highest pitch. Like
the rest of us, their curiosity sometimes
gets them into trouble. For, if one can APP
peal to this dominant trait strongly enough,
he may walk almost into the heart of a
