Zone of the very worst habits of
boyhood is the cigarette habit. This
has long been recognized by all the
Judges of the courts who deal with
young criminals, and especially by
judges of police courts, before
whom pass thousands oe men every
year who are addicted to intemper-
ate habits. These judges know that
in nearly every case the drunken
sots who appear before them, a dis
grace to their parents, themselves
and the state, began as boys smok,
ing cigarettes. One bad habit led to
another. The nicotine and poison in
the cigarettes created an appetite
for alcoholic drink. The cigarette
habit not only had grip upon
them in boyhood, but invited all
the other demons of habit to come
| in and add to the degradation thai
the cigarette began" Ben b,

reached and if other appeals are
made for funds the response should
be generous. Especially should
automobile owners take stock in the
enterprise. The making of the Plank
road a modern road, reduces the
distance to Augusta by practically
one.third and will cut the time in
making the trip almost in half.
Furthermore, this modern road
will be an object lesson to the coun'
ty, and the splendid example of un,
selfshness which the men who are
directing the work have set should
stimulate citizens in other parts of
the county to give the supervisor
generous aid in improving the main
thoroughfares of other sections of
the county. Until the county su-
pervisor is given more money or a
larger road working force. it will
be impossible for him to do other
than hurried, superficial work,
which means continued bad roads
in wet weather. With the gener,
Gus aid of citizens, which aid can in
most cases be rendered without real
financial loss, miles and miles of
public roads can be permanently
improved each year.
The people of the county, and
particularly those who travel the
old Plank road in going to Au-
gusta, owe MIR. George Swearingen
and his unselish co.workers last
ing debt of gratitude. The Adver-
tiser moves that they be extended
a rising vote of thanks.

The Legacy of a Kindly Heart.

| AuC LCSdSy VI q AAAhoiy AAA
| There was once a little girl il
Edgefeld, nearly quarter of cen
tury ago now, who came into m,
home with message one day. anc
she looked so pleasant and so swee
that l said to her, "What pretty
little girl you are," and she turned
her little head to one side, and sale
coquettishly, You are pretty, too
Now didn't believe that she really
thought l was pretty, because nc
one else had ever said so, but knew
that she was anxious to please, and
that little bright face lives in my
memory still.
But that ia not the only legacy,
nor the chief one that this little girl
left to Edgefeld.
Some years after that this same
little girl, "a little older grown, %
was passing the Edgefeld Hotel,
and there she saw walking up and
down on the sidewalk, pretty
lady," looking disconsolate perhaps,
or friendless, or wishing for some.
thing she did not have. At any
rate, her child-heart was moved with
s5 mpathy for this stranger whom
she had never seen, and approaching
her timidly she said, Is there any,
thing I could do for you? and are
you in any sort of trouole?" The
pretty lady" said: mo, not partic-
ularly, but we came to Edge6eld,
having been directed here by a
former resident and lover of Edge
field, that we, my husband and my
self, might enjoy the inland air and
the quiet and repose of your picture
esque village, but no one of those to
whom We have been directed has
found it convenient to receive US,
and so We are here only for the
night, and will go away in the
morning" "Oh, no." said the little
girl, DO not go away so soon, stay
and see our town and our people.
Come now and go with me and l
will take you to my mothers home
on the other side of town. We
have seven or eight children at our
house, and my mother has not room
for you, but my aunt is there, and !
am sure she viii Ds glad 70 have
you.''
The stranger. as if overcome by
this unexpected and welcome hospi'
tality, followed, without any con-
sultation, and they walked together
to the home of the little girl, who
carried her in and introduced her to
the mother, and to the aunt, who
for the past seventeen years, has
been the hostess each succeeding
winter of one of the most charming
visitors who has ever come to Edge
field.
The guest of our town who came
and was led by little child, is lsa-
bel Potter of Rhode Island, and the
little girl was Julia Tompkins, who
after one short year of married life,
passed out and carried her good
cheer to another world, where such.
an atmosphere is perpetual-but the
friends whom she won, MIR. and
Mrs. Potter, are still coming on and
adding their happy personality to
the quiet town of Edgefeld.
The little girl was careful to en-
tertain strangers, and thereby enter
tanned angels unawares.

 GAlAC|A
Slav Army, Rejuvenated By
 Fresh Munitions from Ja- pan, England and America Make Attack on Austrians.
RESULT OF BATTLE IS
 UNKNOWN IN LONDON
Thought That Effect of the Action May be Considera- ble on the Balkan Question. Especially on Roumania.

LONDON. Jan. IA rejuvenated Russian army, equipped with muns tions from Japan. America and Eng. land. is engaged in great attack on the Austro-Hungarian forces in Cali. cia- Reports from Vienna and Petro- grad claim advantages for their re spective forces. Neither describes decisive results. The details are few and conflicting and give no definite description of the battle line.
 Other important news was the an. nouncement of the sinking of the In- dia-bound British liner, Persia, near Crete Thursday. The Persia carried over two hundred passengers and a crew of between two hundred and three hundred. The cargo was small. Reports here give rise to the fear tha, majority of the passengers was lost which would make. it the most dis astrous result of the submarine cam paign since the Lusitania was sunk. Among the passengers were three Americans. Robt McMeely. Charle Grant, of Boston and Edward Rose of Denver There were also thirty Brit ish officers bound for India, including Lord Montague.
 Newspaper correspondents at Petro- grad estimate that a million and half Teutons are engaged in the Galicia fighting. They assert that whatever change occurred in the fighting line was in favor of the Russians. The Austrian official says the Russian at tacks everywhere were repulsed with heavy losses. The significant fact is that the Russian army has again been able to take the offensive.
 Recent telegrams from the war theatre say the Austrials show better fighting qualities than in the early stages of the war The result of the battle is expected to have an import ant influence on the Balkan situation. particularly on Rumsnia's policy. Alp parently the Russians have been pre- pairing for these operations for some time past. Cable communication to the Bessarabian region has been vir- tually suspended for more than month.
 Cable communication with the East is so slow. that details of the Persia disaster are not expected to arrive for a day or two. A majority of the Per sia's passengers were British. en route to India. including many women.
 New Years holiday has given a rest to the political agitation over cons cription. Traditional secrecy en- cabinet deliberations was thrown to the winds during the past week.
