Where Cotton Mills Pay.

A gentleman who has made more
than passing study of the matter re-
market the other day that, as rule,
cotton mills do not pay in localities
where cotton can De profitably grown.
In these particular sections the bet
ter class of labor prefer the plow and
hoe out in the sunshine and open air to
the spindle and loom in mill buildings,
however comfortable and sanitary they
may be. And judging 'om the large
number of cotton mills la the portion of
North Carolina which we visited last
week, where but little cotton is pro-
Guced, considering too the profitable
condition of these mills, we are inclined
to accept as true the statement made
by the observing business man above
quoted.

Chaingangs Being Depleted.

The liquor trust recently made much
of the large amount of money collected
from the distillers and brewers by the
national government, alleging that pro-
hibiticn has not curtailed the consump-
ton of Intoxicating liquors, but you
will never hear through the liquor trust
that the closing of the near-beer sa-
looms throughout Georgia is depicting
the chaingang. The road working
force has been so greatly reduced that
new problem has been created in
many counties. However, the in
creased efficiency OF labor and the rails
ing of the moral tone of the citizenship
of Georgia through the operation of
prohibition will make this new problem
easy of solution.

One Month of Prohibition.

In the face of the official figures
from the recorders court docket Of
Augusta, as published in yester
days Chronicle, who can deny the
bene6cent effects of prohibition?
In May, 1915, there were ITO ar
rests in Augusta for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, and for
May, l9l6-the first month of real
prohibition in this city-there were
only thirty-foar arrests on the same
charges.
There we have it-just one-ifth
as many cases for the recorders
court as the result of intoxication.
And the chances are, that as the
reins are tightened, from month to
month, the number of such arrests
will grow gradually smaller: until,
maybe, in time, the sight of a
drunken man on the streets of this
city will be rare indeed.
But even this is not all. he
money that has heretofore been
spent for whiskey is now going into
the channels of legitimate trade: or
is being saved. From every aspect,
therefore, prohibition has brought
an improvement in local conditions
and it has been tried only one
month as yet. What other law ever
placed on the statute books of Geor-
gia has ever accomplished 80 much
in so short time?
Does prohibition prohibit? ASK
the police. Ask the recorder.
Is prohibition a success? Ask the
merchant. Ask the banker. Better
still---ask the wife or mother of the
man whom it is helping to save
from himself. Augusta Chronicle.

Parksville's Progress.
Written for last week, }

Parksville on Thursday last had
another of her most delightful
neis hborhood days and everyone is
calling for plans for holding them
at frequent intervals. This time it
is maypole and children's carnival
which it was planned at first to
hold at Cedarlands, the beautiful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. W..
Fowler, but plans grew and a
transfer was made to the fair
grounds Of Bussey park,
For quite a time beforehand the
little children had been training un-
der the direction of Mrs. Kizzie o.
borne and Mrs. Warren assisted By
their loyal assistants Misses Annie
Mcdonald. Maggie Mae Robertson,
Cathleen Parks, Eva Brown and
Lula Seigler. The youngsters learn
ed the mysteries of the maypole and
became perfect in the song accom-
panving it. The great day came
bright and fair and everybody gath
cred at the park which is one of ma
lures spots of beauty. Through the
kindness of Mr.. Langford seats had
been provided.
The exercises began with a grand
march with almost a hundred chill
dren in line carrying banners and
some of them drawing most beauti-
fully decorated little floats. Then
there was the may pole dance by
twenty graceful children and there
were games.
This carnival dav was also made
a mother and baby day. A quantity
of literature for mothers and baby's
care and needs was distributed by
Mrs. J. M. Bussey and Parksville
was fortunate in the fact that Dr..
w. G. Blackwell had as his guest
for the day DR.. Noel L. Moore the
child's specialist of Augusta. DR..
Moore was introduced by Mr.. w.
w. Fowler and gave most enter
tanning talk. He told the mothers
to avoid old scares and sayings
about the care of babies but to avail
themselves Of the best scientific ad-
vice and methods. He strongly ad-
vised the community to plan to
have a resident child's nurse, pre-
dieting that within ten years rural
communities would all have their
nurses. DR.. Moore assured Parks
vile that it could in no way better
advertise itself and commend itself
to new corners than by leading the
way in this matter. 1t is highly
probable that his advice will be TAX

w. w. F..

We're not ashamed of the uniform
And if you are friend -.
You will never say against it
Any word that will offend
1t has covered honored bodies
Since the days of the republic
When the stars and stripes were born
Uniforms have many patterns
Some are khaki some are blue
And the men who choose to wear then
Are of many patterns too
Some are sons of wealthy parents
Some are college graduates
Some have many manly virtues
Some are simply reprobates. =
We have many skilled mechanics
Men of ain and letters who
Loyalty have served their country
And they are credit too
No indeed they are not all angels
Blackguards? Yes we're some Of those
But when they came into the service
They all wore civilian clothes.
Men of all kinds when they're drinking
Misbehave act rough and swear
Drunken soldiers or civilians
Are disgusting everywhere
Grant US then your forbearanca
Well appreciate it more
Than lot of noise and cheerin
When we're leaving for war.
We have sat with you in public
And have smelled your Whiskey breath
Heard remarks insane and silly
Nearly boring US to death
Though we offered no objections
When in theaters we have met
Still you think you should exclude US
When attended by our set.
If you meet us out in public
On the streets or anywhere
We don't merit sneering glances
Nor patronizing stare
For we have an honored calling
As our garments plainly show
You may be thief or parson
How on earth are we to know.
| don't care what's your profession
Occupation what you do
When you're looking at soldier
And he's looking back at you
Who is there to Judge between us
AS we stand there man to man
Only one: the. great Almighty
Name another if you can.
Drop your proud and naughty bearing
And your egotistic pride
Get acquainted with the soldier
And the heart and soul inside
Test and try to analyze him
Criticize him through and through
And you'll very likely find him
Just as good d man as you.
