Miss Mile Says The Olden
Times GiDe Way To The Rush

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. fS.-The in
stitution of slavery caused the civil
ization of the old south, Miss Mildred
Rutherford, the historian general,
told the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy in an address before the con-
vention.
ut was, undoubtedly, the institu-
ton of slavery as it existed in the
South" declared Miss Rutherford, "a.
difference in the slave holders them
selves from other shareholders that
caused the civilization of the old
South. These were men of the old
Cavalier stock and the fear of God
gave them minds attuned to justice,
hearts trained to love and pocket
boks open to the needs of humanity.
1.-THE black man should thank God
for the Institution of slavery as it ex-
listed in the South-the easiest road
that any slave people ever passed
from savagery to civilization under
the kindest and most humane masters.
This civilization was destroyed not
so much by the Thirteenth Amend
ment freeing the slaves as by the pol
icy of Reconstruction in the South,
and the Exodus order given by Thad-
deus Stevens through the Freedman S
Bureau, followed by the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments for which
the negroes were not prepared.
Had there been no interference by
the north there would have been no
race problem today"
Miss Rutherford said it must be
admitted that the civilization of today
was along broader fines but that its
fearful activity, its rush and grind of
work, was wearing out the human
frame.
1--WE have no time now to study
ethics" she continued. 1--WE no long
er are polite enough, chivalrous
enough--the charm of home life IS
fast going-the Preside almost de-

stroyed"
In the old days. she said, there was
leisure to think, to read and to medi-
tate. In thu rushing life of today she
said southern people have lost the
social graces,. the charming man
ners, the gift of letter writing and
even the gift of conversation.
1T is now hurry, hurry, hurry, to
keep up with the telegraph, the tele-
phone,. the automobile, the moving
picture shom-yes. and the flying ma
chine too. How restful the old life
was. What a picture of contentment,
peace. and happiness it presented 1t
reminds one of our graDdmothers
gardens with ox-bordered beds, so
dignified, SO orderly and so stately"

Prepare For High-PriCed
Mules and Horses
The 10000 Mares in Georgia Should
Be Raising FoaIs.
M. p. JARNAelN, Prof. Animal Hus.

M. p. JARNAGlN, Prof. Animal Hus-
bandry, Ga. State College OF Ag.
More than million horses and
mules of the United Statese have
been requisitioned for military pur-
poses during the past eighteen months
that is about one horse to every
twenty in the country For some time
before the European war prices had
sagged till breeders had barely more
than so per cent of their mares mated.
The war demand and the few num-
Der of animals bred are bound to
bring about high prices for horses
and mules not only during the war,
but for several years after.
There are probably 10000 mares ON
Georgia farms. Statistics show less
than 1000 are regularly producing
foals, whereas minimum of so per
cent should be regularly bringing in
the foals.
To forestall the shortage and high
prices as much as possible the logi.
cal thing to do is first put every mare
to raising colts. The average farmer
is not advised to replace all of his
work mules with mares, but sufficient
should be kept to replace worn-out
animals.
Above all breed to big strengthened
jacks and registered draft stations Of
pure breeding, sound and of accept
able weight.

Farm Drainage In Georgia
GEORGE A. cRA55, Junior Professor
OF Aeronomy,

Land drainage improves the, soil
structure, improves ventilation. in
creases the available plant food, pro-
notes the action of beneficial bacte-
ria, permits greater root development
of crops and increases crop yields.
Where the land is rolling or hilly I'M
derdrainage decreases surface erosion
by removing the water through the
soil instead of permitting it to be re-
moved by surface overflow.
Land drainage should be done to
some extent on the majority of the
farms in this state. 1t is a form OF
permanent soil improvement.
Two main classes of farm lands in
the state that are much in need of
drainage: The overflow lands along
the streams and in the swamps,. and
the lands already in cultivation that
are too wet for maximum crop yields.
Overflow and swamp lands must
often be handled in drainage districts
because of the large areas involved.
Lands already in cultivation may be
drained by individuals through use
of tiles.
The fall and winter are the times
of the year to plan drainage Of wet
areas when the farm labor can be used
to good advantage.
Cooperation in drainage investiga-
tions has been established between
the Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The farmers of
Georgia can secure advice and help
in the drainage of their farm lands by
writing to the Agronomy Department
Of the State College of. Agriculture.

Why is it that from clearest skies
The heaviest shadows fall?
Why is it that through sunriest days,
The saddest voices call?
Why is it that all this lore
Of human life and love,
The eagle comes to tear our hearts,
When we have called the dove?
Why is it fate selects the days
When natures at her best;
To barb the bitter dart that Stays,
The sunshine in our breast?
Why is it from laughing hours,
OF beauty and delight,
Life sends with thrice-redoubled

The darkness and the light?
Why is it when tenderest love
We feel our noble souls elate;

That seal our piteous fate?
Why is it when the birds are sweet,

With sorrow to our careless feet,
The angriest pillows roll?
Why, why? Oh heart that breaks

And heart that bows with woe;
No wonder that through all belief,
We ask why it is so?
The only answer is a cry
A cry that fades and falls;
And love with still unanswered

Through dreams undying calls,

KILLING IF "BAD" INDIAN HOUSES
 NAVAJOS AGAINST TIE WHITES

threatened Indian uprising on the Ma : vajo reservation. They do not believe there is any danger of a serious situa- tion there.
 Attention is called to the fact that Chief Bzoshe, more than so years old, the moving spirit among the Navaios, is now friendly. Some years ago he led an uprising that assumed serious pro- portions. Major General Hugh l.. Scott, on that occasion went into the Navajo country, accompanied only by his aide and orderly and induced Bzoshe to surrender. BZoshe served a short prison, term and since that time has been a model Indian.
 On the occasion of the so-called Ute W9r in Southern Utah, nine months ago Bzoshe and Bob Martin, the latter an Indian policeman on the Navajo reser- vation, were called upon by General Scott for assistance in inducing the Utes to surrender. Both joined General Scott and went with him to Mexican Hat, near Navajo mountains, where the general met the renegade Utes and made peace.

The fears, it is said, extend ito the soldiers of the de facto gov lernment and numerous rumors con- icerning the activities of Villa are given credence.
 Among the reports circulated is one that Villa has vowed not to shave until he can do so in Chi huahua City. Ranchers in the vii
 cinity of Santa Clara are said to have brought this story to the cap litol. A number of foreigners are
 said to be preparing to leave for the United States as soon as they are
 assured of adequate protection. | The military force dominated the 1 capitol. it was said. The police force consisting of eight men was dis larmed week ago after Carranza general, taking exception to the i'm

 heart and kidney trouble for several
 months. Details of the funeral had not been arranged tonight.
 Col. William P. Hepburn, although twenty years in congress, became best known throughout the country during the Roosevelt administration. It was he who framed what later was called the Hepburn law, prohibiting rebates and discrimination by railroads. As chairman of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce in the first session of the fifty ninth congress he was the author of three acts out of five. which the then President Roose- welt afterWard declared would cause that congress to be memorable in his
 tory because of it's constructive legis- lation. of the five acts, four came from Col Hepburn's committee and
 three of them-the Hepburn law. the
 pure food act and the public health act
 were framed by Col Hepburn him self
 Col. Hepburn was thirteen times the
 nominee of his party in the Eighth
 Iowa district, his first contest in 1880
 being the most remarkable. The con-
 vention was held at Council Bluffs and Congressman Sapp had received fifty four votes-three less than majority without diminutiOn 3S4 times. After
 a tEree days session the convention took a recess of four days. Its second session covered two days and Col. Hepburn was nominated on the 3S5th ballot, receiving fifty-nine votes His tWeve subsequent nominations were pra2 2tically unanimous. Two of them were by exclamation. During his career in congress which ended March 4, 1909 Col. Hepburn supported every measure that became low looking to the control of common carriers. Many of these bills were introduced by him

Feb 7.-The h. dians on the Navajo reservation in northeastern Arizona were threatening to kill all the white inhabitants, and burn the government buildings there according to William Dubree, superin- tendent of construction of the Indian school at Tuba, who arrived here late yesterday with information concerning the threatened uprising.
 The few Caucasian families living at Tuba have but small amount of arms and ammunition with which to defend themselves, Dubree said today in tel ling of the threats of the Indians Superintendent T. Runke and two police officers of Tuba attempted to arrest bad Indian at point about 50 miles north of that town January 26, Dubree stated The Indian shot at the officers and was himself killed when the policemen returned the fire Friends of the Indian immediately began to foment trouble among other Indians on the reservation, he added and some of the Flutes, who went on the warpath in the Bluff, Utah, dis l trict about year ago, also began agi- tating a disturbance among this band Tuba is on the Painted Desert" about 90 miles north of here.
