FROM A COBB COUNTY Boy IN
HAITI.

Just 1900 men wearing the uni
form of Uncle Sam are today running
republic of 100000 souls and
running it SO well many of them are
soon to get perm 'aent jobs helping
Haiti to Denaye herself.
Marines police the towns; Marines
run the railroads; Marines operate
electric light stations in half doz-
en- towns, have charge Of the postal
service and have established a system
Of sanitation that is expected to cut
the death rate fifty per cent.
The busiest men in Haiti are these
700 sea soldiers and a score or
more of them are to be awarded here
in order that the island republic
may not slide back into the state of
anarchy that put new president A.
the palace and the old one in his
grave about once a month. The Ma
rines will establish a constabulary to
be knowA as the fashion Gendarmes.
These will be drilled and armed as
soldiers, the rank and file being ma
tiyes and the officers marines. This
little body Of men will throw out
Of their jobs $1,000 or more men
who have been living off army graft
and political loot all their lives.
The fashion is black as ebony
with features almost purely African
but he is good-natured and intelli-
gent. lie works well under a good
boss but when he tries to run a job
on his own hook he gets madly tang
led. The fashion army was d mob
of ragamuffins with guns that were
as dangerous to the shooter as to
the shootee. They seldom received
pay and fed upon what they could
beg or steal. To be sure money was
issued from the national treasury to
pay them but the officers stole most
of it,
When man became president of
Haiti and took up his residence in the
wooden palace he began to count the
months through which he expected
to last. He did this in order to
make plans to graft as much as pos
sible in the shortest space of time.
SO far no one has had good cause
to regret the advent of the Marines.
Never in it's history has Haiti been
so well governed. Never have the
great mass of the people been so con-
tented nor so safe.
AT first they did not like the idea
Of vaccination nor the fine imposed
for throwing garbage in the front
yard, but they have become recon
ciled. Americans pay well for labor
and what they buy. | must close
for this time.

THE PRESIDENTS COURAGE"

THE Albany Herald, in speaking
of the achievements of President
Wilson, among other fine things says
this:
When the President declared
that Germany must abandon her
submarine warfare against neutral
shipping, Germany scoffed The
German vote in the United states
likewise scoffed The German press
and the German-American press de-
clared that President Wilson was not
only making himself ridiculous. but
putting the United States in a posi-
ton to be laughed at The world at
large applauded the Presidents
stand, but candidly expressed the
opinion that he was attempting the
impossible.
President Wilson himself seem
ed to be about the only person in
the world who was willing to believe
there was hope of success.
But he did succeed. without
loading a gun or moving a warship,
he forced Germany to do what all
the power of her enemies had been
unable to accomplish. He made it
safe for neutral shipping to go at
Will in carrying the commerce of ma
tons. 1t was, beyond all question of
doubt the greatest diplomatic tri-
umph Of the war period. 1t was
promptly recognized as such. and
viii be so recorded in history's
pages"
y es, the country grew inpatient.
and Roosevelt flew into a rage over
the long diplomatic waiting, and
Bryan resigned because he thought
it meant war, but the President tri-
umphed. Germany knew he was
right. AS a moral triumph it is un-
paraileled. Macon Telegraph.

"PESSIMISM HAS ITS PLACE. ="

There are PHILOSOPHERS, called re-
ligions, which may be put into the
one phrase Don't worry"
1T is the quintessence of SELFISH
ness and stagnation. Where there
are no worries there is no Inspiration
and little activity.
THE tropics are fun of optimism.
That's why there's nothing doing
there. There is too much sunshine,
comfort and easy picking. 1t takes
frost and snow to make men hustle.
And it is hustle that makes men.
1t is quite the fashion these days
to tell one another to cheer up, look
pleasant, and all will be we'll. All is
good, there is no evil, pain is nix.
anguish is all in your eye. Maybe.
But it grows monotonous. And it
gets one nowhere
The human mind does not com
prehend perfection except through
imperfections. Man never knew he
had stomach until it ached. We
would not know happiness but for
griefs. He who has been altogether
glad is but half made He is inoap-
able OF realizing real gladuess, Just
as one who has never seen the dark
could not realize light.
The fact is, sugar is good. but
one can't stand too much of it; and
when it is put in everything. soup,
fish, meat and salad. it is trying.
and there is a healthy demand for
some vinegar
IF one has no griefs or worries
OF his own, there are lots of other
peoples gridfs and troubles to be
shared. And the sharing of others
griefs is pretty good religion.
Don't grieve unless you must--but
since you must grieye, remember
that there is good even in griexing
Alas for him who is too blind to
see that there is far more than grief
in grieying Macon News.

National Organization Gets
Data; U. S. Tire Bill
Is 1920, 100000.

Last year. according to statement
issued by the National Automobile
chamber Of commerce, motor car users
discarded 5000, 900 tires. representing
an expenditure Of more than $3.50, 00o,
600.
What would be the result II half of
this sum, approximately s15O,ooo,ooO,
could be saved annually? It would pay
for the construction of five concrete
highways across the continent each
year: it would build another Panama
canal in three years; pay off the ma
tional debt in seven years; or build
fleet of ten firstclass battleships every
That there really is an enormous
economic waste. and that saving OF
$4,000. 900 of the annual tire bill is
not an idle dream. is shown by figures
which have been gathered and averaged
by q prominent statistician. For the
wear 1915. 1850 miles per set of tires
was the average on all cars listed ex-
cept the Frinklin. which established
an average of $500 miles per set over
the same period
