WHAT ARE YOU DOING"

What are you doing for this
town?
What are you doing to justify
your citizenship in this town?
You can not sit down, criticise. let
Others do the work that makes a
town or community, and still call
yourself a good citizen.
The good citizen never thinks only
of self. He must necessarily think
OF self or he would not survive. but
good citizenship requires more than
that-much more.
1t rQuires that you keep in mind
that there are others who have
rights and are entitled to have those
rights respected by others-by YOU.
On the same basis you are entitled
to have your rights equally respected
by them.
That is good citizenship-par-
TALLY.
In addition. the good citizens re.
members that his town Is entitled 10
his best efforts in its behalf to the
end that the interests of the com
munity may be advanced by all legiti-
mate means.
This means. too. that in adyanc-
ing the interests you are advancing
your own. which is the ultimate aim
.ot the human race
What, then, are you doing to con

FIGURING THE PRICE
OF COTTON SSEED

Mighty few of us are good matb.
ematiclans, and so whenever cotton
seed are quoted at 40 or $50 ton
the average person has to figure with
pencil what the price is per bushel
me following rule is so simple and
so easy that we reproduce it. Clip
II out for reference.
When the price of ton is given. in
dollars. take half the price of \ to,
and add it to itself and the result
VIII be the price of bushel i'm cents.
Ihus, If seed are worth $40 n for
take half of 30 and add il to 20 and
you get 80 cents as the price of &,
buShel. If seed are $50 ton take
halt OF 30 which is 15 and add /,
to 80 and you get 45 cents as the
price of bushel of seed. Now IN
hnd the price of "A ton. in dollars
when the price of a bushel i'm cents
is known, YOU subtract one-third Of
'he price bushel in cents from itself
and you have the price of ton I'm
dollars. Thus suppose the price of q
DuSheI is 60 cents the third OF 60
Is 20 which taken from 60 leaves $40
as the price of ton. The rule is so
easy that any one who knows tbe
multiplication table can pass from the
ton to the bushel or from the busbe,
10 the ton as fast as he can talk

SURVIVAL OF THE FIrTEST.

Or recent years volumes have
been written in defense Of the
scheme of life defined in the above
phrase. Its advocates refer us to ma
ture in all her wondrous workings
the manner in which she accurately
fulflls the Biblical promise that "to
him that hath shall be given; but
from him that hath not, shall be ia
ken away even that he hath"
Perhaps no scheme of life half so
pernicious has ever been promul-
gated by sane men in any age of the
world. True, nature, in the person
of the brute, works strictly along
this line. 1t is absolutely necessary
there. 1t is necessary from the fact
unless every energy of the brute were
given to the task OF preserving self,
then self. as represented by the
brute, would soon cease to exist
Scientists define the difference
between man and the brute thusly:
The brute knows, but knows not that
it knows. Man knows, and knows
that he knows. And in these truths
lie the great danger to humanity
of the survival of the fttest" the.
DRY. The brute. knowing not that
1t knows, recognizes absolutely no
rights Dut It's own. For it the
question OF right does not exist. Ma.
ture has equipped it to make Of self
the very best Spccimen nossible
even 10 the absorbing in many in
stances OF the rights and very per-
sons OF all others. That is it's first
instinct. and were any othcr course
followed II would be fatal TO the life
OF the hrut" creation
But when, through the faithful
adherance to this primal instinct.
the brute has reached brute rerfec-
ton we'll it's nothing but brute
anyway magnificent brute I may
Oe' nut merely a brute.
N'ih man, however, the reverse
is true. knowing. and knowing tina.
ne knows, he conseQuentlv must
Know that he has rights. That be
ing the case. he is compelled to know
'ha' all others (who are in every
way as essential as himself must
nave rights coequal with his own.
Therein lies his utter futility of at
tempting to usurp any of the rights
OF others without uoing violence to
Els own character. In brief, the
moment he attempts to survive at
the expense OF the weaker brother
JuSI lhat moment he becomes most
ehphatically the "unfittest" in every
sense or the brute sense. He he
comes as the brute.

CREAM ROUTE NOT DEAD

Some of the farmers interested
III the cream route may be Think
ing that it S dead. This is a.
mistake. We are going ahead
and expect to have a hrst-class
cream route here in a short time.
The work has been delayed an
account of adverse climatic condi-
tons and it has been little hard,
of course, to get all parties ready
for business. Work of this kind
is not started in a few days.
The creamery at Moultrie will
begin operation September the l.
They have large plant we'll
equipped to take care of the cream
from 1000 COWS. 1t is not ex-
pected that this number will be
available at first, but the farmers
will continue to add to their herds
and other farmers will later fur
msh cream to the creamery when
they learn more of the value of
selling cream. The boil weevil
will also force a good many farm
ers to turn their attention to 9th
er things besides cotton.
We hope to be able to put in
to operation the route in Ben Hill
by the middle of September any
way, if not by the first. But if
we are not able to start by this
time, we expect to keep hammer
ing away until it is going, At

WASHINGTON'S RAZOR

Atlanta, Ga, August 26.-Dr.
G. t. Neal, of Thomson, has a
razor said to be about 200 years
old. 1t was used by General
George Washington's bodyguard
in shaving the general at the time
he was president of the United
States. The razor came into DR..
Meals possession through the
Rays, who got it direct from the
original owner.
DR.. Neal uses the razor regu-
arly, and from appearance it is
food for a couple of hundred
years more service.
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1916-08-28

has taught the farmers to raise
feedstufts at home for the live
stock instead of sending to the
west for it. That the art of rails
ing cover crops such as bur Glow
err and crimson clover has crept in
as the result of dairying and is
proving a source of real prosper
ity. Putnam county has over 100
acres in Alfalfa. 1t can be raised
in this state at a cost of 81 a ton.
A creamery will pay off more
mortgages in the country than
any other institution.
If we can get good number
of the farmers in this county to
keep a few goods COWS to furnish
cream to the creamery and grow
feed for these COWS; others to de-
vote more attention to beef cat
tie and hog raising, and those
convenient to the railroad to set
out large acreage to peaches OF
the best variety, and then hold
our cantaloupe acreage and grow
a few more melons, we will have
solved the boil weevil problem
iOf course, every farmer must di-
versify and cut his cotton acreage
down to about seven acres to the
lplow. The one great mistake a
| good number of farmers have
made from Texas to Georgia is
Swinging to the extreme. Do not
cut out cotton entirely, but cut
your acreage and get improved
seed, plant early and work we'll
| put in an abundance of food crops
and go gradually into live stock
is the only safe way.
