PECULIAR TEMPERANCE ADVOCTES

One of the strangest temper
ance societies ever heard of in
this Country or any other was
that of the wholesale whiskev
and wine men recently convened
in Louisville. One of the resolu
tions passed was in favor of the
temperate use Of liquors and
against Incorporate speeches by
DrOhibitiOnists. National prohibi-
ton is coming and the whosalers
as well as retailers may as well
take notice.
Those Louisville whiskey men
remind one of the lines:
When the Devil was sick, the
Devil saint would be. But
when the Devil was well the
Devil Of saint was he."
The whosalers are evidently
not feeling well.

ROTATION IN OFElCE

1t is not the intention of this
paper to take sides in the pres
ent campaign. We have no
choice among the candidates for
local Offices. They are all our
friends and we are only sorry
there is not a nice, soft berth for
each one.
There is, however, a pseudo
argument going the rounds,
about which we would like to ex-
press an opinion. We hear a
great deal about Rotation in OF.
fice.' Men are heard repeating
the phrase with the JUNCTION OF a
creed, little thinking that to
change officers is nearly always
an expensive operation.
Rotation of crops has proven
beneficial to the land and the
farmer. enriching both. But
aside from a similar sound in
phraseolory, there is no analogy
between the two.
Rotation in agricultural is a
saving and building process.
Rotation in office means the
dismissal of an experienced Off
Ger, one who has gained expert.
ence at the expense of his en-
ployer, the county, for an mex
perinced one, one who must very
likely begin at the bottom and
learn the office through a series
Of costly errors, as his predeces-
Sor did.
True economy, we believe.
would dictate the keeping in of
fee indefinitely Of every man
who has made good.
For the good Of the county in
competent men should be weed
ed out. For the good of the
county, a mere mpty phrase
should have no weight in the
election of officers.
Public office should not be
looked upon as gift, or mark OF
favor. Public office is a job
where service rendered is the on
ly real test of fitness.

The Red Spider

Now is the time to wage war
on the Red Spider most etfec-

ty farmers we'll remember the
trouble and loss caused by this
pest last year.
MIR. w. j. Tlller, county de-
monstration agent, urges that
this experience be not repeated
this year.
The favorite breeding places
of this tiny spider are polk berry
bushes, hriar berrys, sweet vio.

men it was inevitable that some should
be disease carriers. The waste matter
which they threw off acted as an in
cubator for the bacteria which 1t car
ried. Flies and other insects, but es-

Don't Ignore
Fly Menace
This Season

Many persons do not realize what q
serious menace the fly is to the health
OF this community. 1t is characteristic
of the average man to ignore this kind
OF danger until 1t threatens his own
family. "Oh, the fly may be the means
Of carrying a fatal disease to some
puny person." you reason, perhaps,
"but there's no danger of his bringing
it to me-Tm III pretty good shape. I
eat three square meals day and sleep
all right"
That is a characteristic attitude of
soldiers. Rather, 1t used to be SO.
Doubtless you remember the awful toll
Of life taken among the soldiers en-
camped at Chickamauga during the
Spanish-American war. II you do not

SOME WISE LEGISLATION

The present Congress and the
Wilson administration will go
down in American history as
the most constructive aud most
helpful cf any Congress or ad-
ministration Of the present CEN
tury. AS heretofore mentioned
in The Advertiser the achieve
ments Of the present administra.
ton are really epoch making
events.
Three great measures which
have recently engaged the atten-
ton of Congress have passed, af-
ter strong opposition by Repub-
lican members of both branches
of Congress. The bills were op-
posed by Republicans because
they thought they were more
beneficial to the South than any
other section. In fact they rails.
ed the sectional issue upon each
one of these great measures.
The Shield Water Power Bill,
the Bankhead Good Roads Bill,
and the Glass Rural Credit Bill,
while of vast benefit to the South
are of vital Importance to every
section and especially to the
heretofore neglected farming
interest. The Rural Credit Bill
was amended by Hon. A. f.
Lever so that in case of an en-
ergency which might overtake
the land banks the Federal treas.
ury could deposit $4,000 to
take care Of the situation. Mr..
Lever advocated his amendment
ably and earnestly. The aim
and object Of the measure was to
help the man who wants to nego.
tiate a mortgage to buy farm,
or to pay off debts hanging over
his farm, and to get the money
at the lowest possible interest.
In the course of his argument,
replying to some criticisms, Mr..
Lever said IF there is any bet
ter paper on earth than mort
cages on good farm land / would
like to see the paper" This
Rural Credit Bill passed the
house May 15 and as a similar
measure had already passed the
Senate a conference of the two
houses would perfect the bill.
In the Senate the passage of
the Bankhead Good Roads Bsll,
Ia substitute for the house bill }
makes another great forward
movement for the Country. The
bill authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to cooperate with
the States in the construction of
rural post roads, which means

ROOSEVELT SCORED
 IN SENATE REPORTS
, Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-The charges circulated in the last session of Con- gress that the administration officials acted in the interest of foreign busi- ness firms in urging the passage of the ship purchase bill, are today held as baseless in both the majority and mi nority reports of the senate investi- gating committee. Both reports also found that the shipping interests were blameless for alleged illegal activity in opposition to the measure.
 The majority report denounced Roosevelt for failing to appear as a witness to testify concerning his pub lished assertion that President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan "endeav ored in the interests of certain foreign business firms to secure governmental power to purchase interned ships of one of the belligerents."
