GRIM REAPER ENDS
BRIGHT PROSPECTS
Scarlet FeUer Claims Wini-
fred Warner. Nurse
at Hospital

Much sympathy is expressed for Mr.
and Mrs. Willard d. Warner who are
heartbroken over the death of their
youngest daughter Winifred, who was
laid to rest in Austin cemetery last
Monday morning. The unfortunate
young lady was stricken with scarlet
fever at the State Hospital in Kala-
mazoo and was sick but a few days.
Winifred Warner was born on June
End, 1897, and passed out of this life
December 3rd, 1916, at the age of
nineteen years, six months and one
day. From the time of her birth, she
had been sunshine in her home. Her
even temper, quiet sunny disposition
and christian character won friends
for her, wherever she went. The
first of this year, she began work at
the Michigan State hospital in Kala-
mazoo, where she was taking a nurses
course and devoting her heart and
soul to her chosen work. She was
happy in the prospect of the possibil-
tiles which seemed to be hers.
She leaves to mourn her untimely
death, father and mother, two sis.
ters, Mrs. Earnest Thyme and Mrs
Charles German, two aged granc
mothers, besides many other relatives
and a large circle of devoted friends

HOME BY CHRISTMAS.

The Georgia boys on the border arr
hoping to be at home by Christmas
but it is by no means certain. The
Savannah Morning News has this tt
say in an editorial:
Almost every communication from
the Georgia boys on the border con.
tains some reference to the ''higt
hopes of being at home before o.
shortly after Christmas" The citizen.
soldiers are extending themselves tc
hasten attainment of the standard OF
efficiency required by the authorities
and apparently they are confident that
their return will be ordered just as
soon as they finish the prescribed pro-
process with credit. Those who await
them at home hope they are not build
ing their dreams in vain. 1t would be
an immense comfort and relief to
observe change in conditions that
would make it safe to recall not only
the Georgians, but the militiamen of
every state now represented on the
border.
1t is difficult, however, to find basis
for the hope that such change will
be quickly brought about. Of course,
it is possible that the Georgia troops
will be sent home, just as were the
soldiers of some other states, before
the necessity of a border patrol has
been obviated; but it should be borne
in mind that the very fact that others
have been recalled may prove a fac
tor in protracting the stay of the
Georgians and others now on duty.
There is apparently little ground for
hoping that the peace commission will
reach definite agreement. The pros
poets now, in fact, are more for an
early breaking off of the negotiations
at Atlantic City, leaving the situation
as i was when the Nation
al Guard was ordered to the border
The boys may get home by Christmas,
but neither they nor the folks att

relief SO early

Editor Times-Recorder
The election of Hon. Hugh Dorsey
emphasized the position of the people
Of Georgia on the school book ques-
ton. Why those who are appointed
to look after the interests of 100000
school children in Georgia oppose any
trial to produce cheaper school books
is one of the mysteries. We have four
men appointed, one elected, and the
governor, who is ex-officio member,
called the State Board of Education.
Some of these men voted against the
uniform school book law, which pass
ed in 1903, in spite of their efforts
to defeat it. This explains part of the
mystery / write this to explain, if
possible, why these men do not do
something. / would bet a corroded
copper that majority of the board
would today vote against the uniform
school book law that they are called
upon to administer This is a dandy
condition of affairs.
The faculty of the University of
Georgia is crowded with those inter
ested in the sale of school books. In
fact they are everywhere. Let US
consider but one branch of the produc
ton of school books. That the text
should be true, especially for our
children, / will leave for the U. d.
C.'s and others to discuss. l will only
discuss the cost. Up to 1882 the re-
porter of the Supreme court, by virtue
OF his office, was given the copyright
to the Georgia reports. In this time
&C volumes were published and sold
for $500 per volume. The act was re-
pealed and the copyright was placed
in the state of Georgia, and the next
volume (67) sold for $3.50, and the
copyright has expired on all of these
reports, and the state of Georgia il
now having them published by COM
petitive bids, and every lawyer can
now purchase these Reports at $3.50
per volume. The old Code sold for
$1,000, and now Georgia is having
them published and sold at $500 to
the lawyers. Some one in the legis-
lature to represent lawyers, you will
say. Well. yes.

you not think the state board, whC

mon school books, and 10 per cent. ou
sales on High school books No more;
no less. Every one of them swore il
before the school book investigating
committee. Just suppose the author

cured by the state board, and they,

competitive bids, what would happen

were compelled by the State Board of
Education to pay 50 cents for ten years
to the American Book Company, and
tnen Wnen L proved what could be
done they cut the price to 30 cents.
The state board has condemned this
book and it is still being used in our
schools, and when l propose to have
suitable text printed, men like Moon,

of Education, appear before the COM
mittee on Education and defeat it. l

against Moon, and there is no reason
why the membership of the board

WORK OF THE FARM BOYS.

! Of the coming of "the farmer-youth'
of North Carolina to the front-of the
influence on the future of agriculture
in that state due to classes of compe-
tition in farm products, The Charlotte
News says that the agricultural tone OF
one banner county-that of Mecklen-
burg-is being trained by the boys and
girls.
And other counties in the state are
coming to recognize the same influence
il every department of farm industry
the strength and earnestness Of

1t is the same in North Carolina as
in Georgia, and other southern states,
" here classes of farm competition are
encouraged, as not only the best means

the farms, but with a view to their
development as the scientific farmers
of the future.
Of the outlook for the farIn-youth on
the state, as affecting the future of ag-
rlculture in North Carolina, The Char
lotte News gives this forecast:
What was seen at the late fair
in magnificent products of farms
hereabouts only indicates what we
shall later behold in more enlarg-
ed and comprehensive specimens.
From the showing of the petals we
can tell what the flower shall be
when it energies from the closed
calayxes and is revealed in all of
the splendor of full growth, and
likewise we can tell to what sing
ular height of more scopeful sue
cess we shall attain when, all the
agencies that are now contributing
to the new art of agriculture shall
have been worked out.
In line with what farm boys are do
ing wherever they meet with proper
encouragement is what The Houston
Post tells of bodybuilding in Texas by
the boys of the rural schools:
The rural schools of Nacog-
aches county are going to engage
in oad-building contest. Each
school will build half mile of the
best road that can be constructed
with the materials at hand. A
thousand dollars will be provided
in Prize money, and will be divid-
ed between ten or more successful
schools. The county commission
ers furnish half this sum and the
remainder is raised by general
subscription among the merchants
and business men.
More than forty schools will en-
ter the contest. insuring for the
county some twenty miles of we'll
constructed roadway in the neigh j,
borhood Of the wide-awake schools
which take part.
Our Houston contemporary adds
that the contest will not only give a
county more than the value for the !
money invested, but will impress on
the boys the necessity for better roads.
and when they become voters it will
not be necessary to convert them to
the gospel of good roads"
Thus, in every branch of industrial
activity the boys are working for the
welfare of county and of state-to be-
come the real state-builders of the
frture.-Atlanta Constitution.

government which shoulders the duty
of reconstruction after the war will
have work no less difficult. The war
has shown us that agriculture is still
the most important of all our indus
tries and in the British isles We must
have healthy agriculture.
After the war large numbers OF
our soldiers will not be willing to go
back to tame industrial life. We know
how important is the strength OF the
imperial colonies and we wish to see
them grow in population with men of
our own race and ideals, but we do
not want to see the best and most Wig
orous of our people leaving these
shores, even for the colonies. For
that reason 1t is essential we make
real efforts to place agriculture here
