WEEK oE pRANER

Commencing tomorrow. and contin-
uing at the discretion Of the churches
engaged, the annual Week OF Prayer
will be observed among the churches
in Fairmont In former years the
churches united in one service, but It
was deemed best this year, in the in

to hold its own services. We appeal to
the church folks of our city to support
their churches in this effort. II is not
our purpose to hold a week Of meet
ings just TO be in line with the inter.
national Week of Prayer, but rather to
engage in services that will prove high
~ beneficial to all the churches, and
to the community in general. We
urge your cooperation.

Maine as Political Indicator.

When "Maine went hell-bent for Gov
ernor Kent" away back in the last century,
people began to look to Names early cleo
ton as a sort of indication of the trend of
the November election. Thus it happened,
as the years went on, that the people
watched for the outcome in Maine as val
liable forecast.
Maine, in the election several days ago,
went for the republicans. In fact, it turned
a complete political somersault, and elected
a republican governor, two republican
United States senators, four republican
congressman, republican legislature, and
republican minor state officials. Maine had
a democratic governor, democratic
United States senator, one democratic con-
gresham, a democratic legislature, and a
democratic majority among minor officials.
Of course, that makes republicans glee-
full 1t may also have depressing effect on
some democrats. Like other democrats
we should have preferred to see it go demo-
cratic But had that been the result, The
News would not have risked saying that it
BODIED i'll for Hughes in the November vote,
nor shall we say now that the result fore
shadows defeat of Wilson in November
The truth is, we do not hold to the theory
that the country will go as Maine goes.
The state that the democracy is most in
terested in is New York, and we are not
ready to believe that New York voters will
be greatly influenced by Maine sentiment.
Illinois and Indiana are other states we are
more concerned about than Maine. There
is reason to hope that in all three of these
great commonwealth the voters are awake
to their and the country's need, that they
appreciate Wilson and are going to vote
for him in the November balloting There
fore, we counsel democrats not to be de-
iected because of the Maine vote, and to
be of good hope as to other states
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1916-09-27
Confederate Governors.
MONTGOMERY Advertiser.

There it a pathetic note in the announce
ment of the defeat of Governor Nat Harris
in the Georgia primary in which he SAID,
she is the last governor of a Southern state
who is a Confederate veteran" Time was
and not many years ago when practically
every Southern state had a governor who
was a Confederate veteran and when nearly
every United States senator from the South
was a veteran of the Confederacy.
But the years pass swiftly and now the
last of the Confederate veteran govern
ment is doomed to retire in his old age
For that matter Georgia was, perhaps, the
first of the Southern states to elect man
governor who was not a Confederate vet
eran. Some twenty odd years ago w: Y.
Atkinson in a spectacular campaign, beat
Gen. Clement A. Evans for governor OF
Georgia. 1t cannot be said, however, that
the people of the Southern states have been
ungrateful to the Confederate veteran; 1t
has been their pleasure and privilege to re-
ward devotion to the South with political
preferment
In Alabama, particularly we have been
loyal to the veteran. Since the democratic
party was returned to power every United
States senator from this state was veteran
of the war until the election of Oscar I'm
derwood. This, of course, is counting
George S. Houston, the democratic partys
political redeemer in Alabama, as Confed-
crate veteran, even though his service was
rendered most effectively in the Confeder-
ate congress. All our senators from Hous..
tons day until now, with the exception OF
Oscar Underwood, the last man to be elect
ed, were veterans. Houston, Morgan,
Pugh, Pettus, Johnston, White and Bank
head. Alabama still. retains in the senate
one of the few veterans in. that body from
either side, Senator John H. Bankhead:
Again, the state of Alabama, until 1908
after the return of the democrats, took it's
governors from among the veterans Hous-
ton, Cobb, O'Neal, Seay, JONES' Johnston
and Sanford were all veterans. The line
of veterans was only broken when William
D. jerks succeeded William ]. Sanford.
The news from Georgia that the last of
the veteran governors is passing out of pub
lie life again reminds US that many, many
years have passed since Appomatox and
that the strong men of other days are gong
into the evening of life.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1916-09-27
A Big Achievement.

1t does not matter whether one is Bap-
fist or of some other religious faith, we are
all bound to admire the loyal zeal and lib
crafty of the Southern-especially the
Georgia-Baptists as to raising money for
educational and missionary purposes. An
example is found, and there are many such
examples, in the recent success of Southern
Baptists in raising $4,000 to wipe out
debt of the home mission board. The work
was done in a time and after manner that
surely does credit to the great denomina-
ton. The truth is that it would de difficult
to find an instance of Baptist failure IN
such matters. The men, and the women,
too, work with zeal hard to match, and they
never think of such a thing as failure.
Their schools, their churches, their mission
airy institutions are the fruitage and earnest
of the Baptist zeal, and no wonder the de-
nomination grows and has influence. This
is one of the features of the time that even
a secular and non-partisan paper may note
with propriety and in a spirit of simple JUS
fire
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1916-09-27
The Country's Fire Loss.

The other nations of the earth have been
for years laughing at the United States for
its huge annual fire toll; at least they have
been laughing at us when they were not
working for u.s. We have made an un-
envied and unappreciated record. Accord
ing to computation by the federal geolog-
ical survey the last fiscal years fire loss
cost the United States approximately
S215,0OO,O00. The insurance cost, over
the amount paid for losses, was S145, OOO,-
900, and the expense for fire protection
was almost $1OO,OOO,000.
For every fire the community at large
must pay. More than that, it must pay for
the protection against fire. Each lndlvld-
uaI goes down into his own pocket for his
own protection, and, indirectly, he contrib
utes towards the protection of his neighbor,
his friend, his competitor. The merchant
who sells you suit of clothes or piece of
furniture puts into the cost of the sale the
outlay for insurance, just as for rent and
salaries.
There will always be fire and the neces-
sity for and advisability of insurance; but
there is no reason for the nations stagger-
ing bill from destructive flames. We are
told by the other peoples of the earth that
we are indisputably the most careless of
them all as to lack of ordinary precautions
against fires, and the statistics do not
leave much ground for refutation of the
accusation. Any other nation would feel
itself scandalized beyond description if its
annual waste in this regard equaled ours
or came anywhere within its volume.
And yet, it appears that we shall never
\ learn the lesson. Ordinarily, costly teach
ing is effective, but it is not true in this in
stance.
