MR.. YEOMANS' BILL.

From the Meter Advertiser.
The bill of Representative Yeomans, of
Terrell county, an outline of which was Civ
en- in Sundays papers, providing for COM
pulsory education and free school books,
is one which appears from the synopsis to
be a good one. AS has been pointed out,
compulsory attendance on school without
free books would prove to be farce, and
the bill embodying both the features of fore
ing attendance and providing necessary text
books would seem to be long and COM
mendable step in the direction of illiteracy
elimination.

The Russian DriUe.
From the Atlanta Journal.

The Russian drive is remarkable not only
for its swift development and sustained sue
cess but also for the far-reaching line on
which it is conducted. Other offensives.
particularly in the West, have been confined
to short tangents. The French and Brit
ish have thrust here and there at the enc
my's front, and the Germans have lunged
furiously against Verdun. But the Russians
are striking along a stretch of approximately
two hundred miles. Only vast army ade-
quately equipped. could carry forward such
a task. If the allies on other fronts follow
this example the deadlock soon will be bro
ken and the beginning of the end will be
near.
1t seems, indeed, that the Russian drive is
producing results which are more nearly de-
cisive than anything the allies have yet
achieved.

Controller General Wright says Georgia
tax rate this year will have to be increased
to the full constitutional limit of five mills,
and it is doubtful if that will be sufficient
to meet the Indebtedness of the state. 1t
means there'll be looking and prying around
to find something else to tax. There's now
nothing that is useful to or essential to the
welfare of mankind upon which the tax
gatherer has not laid his hand. The tax
burden has become a serious matter, and
the end does not seem to be anywhere in
sight.

From the Dublin Courier-Herald.
The Dawson News says: GA Dawson man
says he never expects to get beyond the
point of being bossed by a woman. His
mother bossed him until he was married.
Then his wife took up the task. She was
succeeded by his daughter, and now his
granddaughter is on the job" And yet
some women want the ballot.

The American Girl.

Madame Schumann-Heinck is credited
with saying: ITO me the liberty allowed the
American youth is shocking, Chaperones
seem to be as extinct as the dodo after a
girl reaches the age of ten" That's a for
eign view of American life. The girl is
trusted more in America than she is in most
European countries. If she proves unworthy
Of the trust it is when she is bound to no
man by the marriage tie In Europe the
immoral girl is primitive" after marriage
and society is blind to her shortcomings, if
the scandal is not too great. Moreover, the
unchaperoned girl has a better opportunity
to determine her mate by judicious choice,
which may be regarded far better than a
multiplicity of marriages in the hunt for the
real mate. Fundamentally there is immor-
ality in multiple marriage although given
responsibility under man-written law.

In spirit of fair and square recognition
of facts hasn't our government made it
harder and harder for Carranza to maintain
order and repress anti-American feeling and
demonstrations in Mexico? How can we ex-
pect such a people to keep quiet with II, 900
to $4,000 United States soldiers encamped
in the interior of Mexico? Would we keep
quiet under like conditions? We should
either enter outright, go in with big army
and stay there or we should get out and give
the Mexican government fair opportunity
to do what is incumbent.

Atlanta has at last awakened to the fact
that the proposition to remove the state cap
ital to Macon is not mere talk, and the COM
mercial body of that city has addressed a
letter to the legislators setting forth the
Atlanta view of the matter. 1t is not going
to be an easy thing to move the seat Of
the states government, or even to get the
consent of enough members of the legisla-
ture to submit the question to vote of the
people, but Atlanta cannot defeat the move
ment by ignoring it. There is a very strong
sentiment in the state in favor of a more
central location for the capital.

at the death of Mr.. B. B. Perry, the details

Georgia until 1t is the rule throughout the
state-The Dawson News has this to say
No longer is it necessary to import
the ingredients which go into the con-
struction of fried boiled or broiled
ham, delectable speckled gravy and
those other alluring components which
go upon the table of the Terrell county
farmer, particularly the famous corn
hoe-cake of Southwest Georgia. He is
producing them upon his own broad
acres. More than that, he is making
it possible that his urban brother of the
county capital may enjoy the same deli
cacies without importing them. The
grocery stores of Dawson are now car
rying in stock Terrell county raised
meats, and every day the local consum-
ers are purchasing direct from farmers
also.
To this the Dawson editor adds Good
and it is good. Not only the ham is good
he says, but so is the idea. The eater in the
Georgia city should give preference every
time, other things being equal, to food prod
ucts that come from Georgia farms. Let the
farmer produce it, and let both himself anC
his city cousin eat it, and both will be bet
ter off in stomach and in pocket.

ADV.

The three little letters adv appearing after the political Writeups, seem to be misunder- stood by some people.
 A law passed by the U. s. Congress requires newspapers to place advertisement" after all reading notices for which pay is received or expected.
 We do not think Congress should meddle with the private business of newspapers any more than it should with grocery stores, but such is the law and we place the word after each paid ad unless we are rushed and forget it. Two have slipped thru without being marked. We did not mean that the candidates had not paid and we did not hope to be paid, for both paid in advance. but we just overlooked it.
 When adv. appears after any article or local remember its just compliance with the law and nothing more.

 Judge Stockton's Democracy has never been questioned and he is and will be found fighting for it's principles. not because he believes that to be the popular course. but because he has faith in them as embodying the hopes of the state and nation. He stood in the front ranks in the fight made in this county in Democracy's battle with the Brothers of Freedom, and stands just as ready now to meet it's enemies as he did in the past.
 He seeks the nomination as a democrat in the democratic pri- mary to be held on March 29th, but if defeated he will still be found fighting for democratic candidates and principles.

GEO. w. BARHAM FOR
 COUNTY JUDGE

ouuSC bdtlidiu diiIlOuUCeS HIS candidacy for County and Pro- bate Judge of Franklin County. subject to the action of the Demo- cratic primary.
 Judge Barham is native of Franklin County and has spent his life among its citizens, attended the public schools in the old log cabin with it's split log seats and had no opportunity to attend the higher schools.
 In 1888, while serving a four year term as justice of the peace of Boston township he began the study of law from books borrow ed from Judge J. V. Bourland, and in 1894 was licensed to prac- tice in the circuit court, and in 1898 was licensed to practice in the supreme court of Arkansas. He was elected county judge in 1892, defeating some very strong and popular candidates, and served six years, making a splendid record as an honest. fearless, and efficient officer, whom neither the threats of his enemies nor the persuasions of his friends could influence to do anything which he believed was not best for the county.
 In 1898 he retired from office and has been practicing law since, and has the reputation of being one of the best solicitors in chancery and civil lawyers in this district.
 He believes that now is the most important time in our his tory for the building of roads and bridges, and will use his best endeavors to build better roads and more bridges, but is not in favor of increasing the burden of the tax payers to do so. but believes a wise admins tration of the road law and hearty cooperation of road over seers and county judge will give us better roads without increased cost.
 Judge Barham believes that the time has come and that the condition of the county now de- mands a better provision to be made for the care of the unfor- tunate poor of the county, that small tax levied for that purpose and properly used would be in the interest of humanity and would respond to the good judg- ment of the tax payers of the county. and if elected will recom- mend and favor close economy in the higher walks of life and more liberal appropriation in that direction.
 He has been strongly urged by his friends turnout the county to make the race for county judge this time and after mature deliberation has decided to do so. On account of the press of work and financial conditions he will not be able to make a house to house canvass. He does not think it ought to be necessary to make such a canvass as he has such a wide acquaintance in the county, but he will devote all the time he can spare to hunting up the voters and will see all he can before the election. If he fails to see you, do not forget that he will appreciate your vote and will show his ap- preciation. if elected, by trying to make you the best county judge you ever had. adv.
