/ REMEMBER
remember, l remember

| remember, l remember
The house where l was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
You'd hardly know the old place now
For dad is up-to-date,
And the farm is scientific
From the back lot to the gate.
The house and barn are lighted
With bright acetylene.
The engine in the laundry
Is run by gasoline.
We have silos, we have autos,
We have dynamos and things;
A telephone for gossip,
And photograph that sings.
The hired man has left us,
We miss his homely face; s
A lot of college graduates
Are working in his place.
There's an engineer and fireman.,
A chauffeur and a vet.
Electrician and mechanic
Oh, the farms run right, you bet.
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn
Now brightens up a bathroom
That cost a car of corn.
Our milkmaid is peunmatic
And she's sanitary, too:
But dad gets Is cents a quart
For milk that once brought two.
Our cattle came from Jersey,
And the hogs are all Duroc;
The sheep are Southdown beauties
And the hens are Plymouth Rock.
To have the best of everything
That is our aim and plan
For dad not only farms it,
But he's a buGiness man.

COMPULSORY, EDUCATION.

From a long editorial in the At
:anta Journal On the need &C compcll-
ing children to attend school we take
the following extract:
IF man persists in keeping his
back yard in such a condition as to
endanger his neighbor's health, he is
sent to jail. But if he insists on
rearing his child in such a manner as
to lower public intelligence, he is
indulgently let alone. Illiteracy is
more than misfortune to individ-
uals: it is a menace to society. Uu-
der our system of government, the
people are the State, electing it's off
1cers, molding its politics and decid-
ing issues of gravest concern to prop
erty and human interests. Their
will is the basic law and the court of
final appeal, How important, then,
that they be prepared for thoughtful
and righteous use of this tremen-
dous power.
Yet, in Georgia there are 30.OS5
native whites of voting age who can
not read the ballots they cast - a
number sufficient, at times, to con-
troll the outcome of an election.
These illiterates, it is true, do not
vote as unit, and some, perhaps,
90 not vote at all; but their political
influence iS present, some times de-
clslye. Georgia has 76,342 native

TO PLOUGH AND HOE.

A recent Governor of Georgia COM
muted the sentence of a man, know
ing that his action would bring down
upon him the wrath of a majority of
the people of the State. A news
paper quotes him as saying that he
could afford "to go into obscurity,
that he was able to plough and hoe. /"
OF course. that was all buncombe
as his family is rich, and he will
not need to work hard to live, but
that phrase expresses a state of mind
which is far too common.
ITO plough and to hoe" is syn
omymous in the minds of far too
many people with the hardest druid
gerry and the lowest of human oc-
equations. Here is a man who was
governor of a state and who had no
more sense than to betray the fact
that he shared in this opinion Of
FOOLS
Agriculture was the very begin
ming of civilization as it is still the
most useful of human occupations.
What would become of the world if
all men refused to plough and hoe?
Cincinuatus. the great Roman dicta-
tor, left his pillow in the furrow to
take up the government, and after
he had saved the nation returned to
his pillow with added zest.
David, King of Israel, and Psal-
mist for all mankind was a shep-
herd.
Moses, Isaac. Jacob, Abraham,
were all men who lived by flocks and
herds and the produce of the land.
Our farmers won our indepen-
dence.
Washington. jefferson, Madison,
Jackson, Lincoln, Garfield, among
other presidents, were lovers of the
farm, and on the farm some of them
endured heroic labor.
Washington said agriculture is
the most ancient, the most useful,
and the most honorable occupation
of man" Language could be no
stronger than that statement.
And yet, there has grown up in
this country feeling that this great,
and old, and honorable occupation is
inferior in dignity and worth to the
selling of ribbons and laces, to run
ming soft drink stands, or moving
picture shows. to lending money at
usurious rates or dealing in junk.
Out upon such wooden heads and
long ears. The people who enter
tain such folly are not fit either to
plough or hoe for that requires a
sturdiness beyond the comprehension
of these flabby souls.
And then. too, farmers prefer for
farm work either horses, or mules,
to jackasses which bray nightly and
have mighty opinions of the music
they make when in fact they truly
syemplify the old Latin motto.
Voice ana nothing else"
Fifteen of our Presidents were
sons of farmers. Don't forget that.

terest the letter Of Mr.. Thad Adams,
of the Moultrie Grocery company. in
today's Constitution in regard to the
cotton situation. 1 agree with him
and your paper in the stand that You
have taken in this matter and join
in the protest against the blockading
of neutral ports. |, for one, will
write our state department and urge
all business men and farmers of the
south to do the same at once. Our
state department must act, and act
quickly, if the south is to expect any
relief this fall. This way of waiting
to settle an international difference
with one belligerent before you make
no effort at all to settle with the
other, will not do as common sense
ought to tell our authorities at Wash
.ington that Germany is not going to
make favorable reply until she sees
what action England will take in
this blockade, and England waits up
on Germany in the same manner. It
is due time that our country put the
question squarely up to England as
she has to Germany, and demand
that something be done Immediately
in regard to the shipping to neutral
ports, and not until then can the
south expect relief from this war on
commerce.
