II seems incredible that women

Of the girl TO do her work openly, 10

ways 10 her particular situation.
Whatever the school does II should
have the cooperation OF the home.
that is, what is taught In the one
place, should be applied in the
other-the teacher and the mother
should work together.
II we have the girls perform

II is generally accepted that a man

1t seems likely that the Legislature
will pass the bill making it a straight
chaingang offense for selling whiskey
illegally. That is the one string that
is needed to make prohibition prohibit.
The law will have teeth that will
make it thing to be reckoned with.
So long as the seller of illicit whiskey
can, by the payment of fine, get out
of the clutches of the law, just so long
will unscrupulous men, dead to all
moral sense, ply the trade. The
straight chaingang sentence is the
thing. 1t will do the work.

FINE BUILDING COMES DOWN

The pencil factory in Atlanta, in
which little Mary Phagan lost her
life, and for which Leo Frank was
lynched, is being torn down. Shortly
after the murder, the pencil factory
was moved and since that time the
owners have been unable to rent the
building at any price. Last summer
while on business visit to Atlanta
we passed the building in company
with an Atlanta business man, who
remarked that it was "hoodooed" and
would never be rented. 1t is a hand
some ive-story building about the size
of Hotel Chiquola and is located in the
business district. Apparently the
building is comparatively new and
probably cost 500, 0,000.-Farmers Tri-

own YOUR CROP
INSTEAD OF owe IT
Food And Grain Crops Will Make
Agricultural South Independent,
Says II. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)- 1.-The cred
it system under which the agricultu-
raj south works and stays poor is an
alyZed in a striking way by H. G..
Hastings of Atlanta, chairman Of the
agricultural committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and a member of
the executive council of the South
eastern Fair. He does not mince
words in talking about the situation.
Every season during the last fifty
years." he says, there has been trou-
BILE in the cotton belt whenever the
crop was large and the price low, or
the crop short. Each time the cry of
hard times goes up, and the reason
back Of it is that the farmers cannot
get enough money to pay their debts
out of their so-called cash crop-cot-
ton. 1t is disheartening because it is
so absolutely unnecessary.
"a cotton farmers debts are large
ly for food and grain, charged up
against him on the merchants books
at two to three times the price that
those same items could be produced
on his own acres, and usually without
serious interference with a crop of cot
ton as large as he now makes.
The trouble is that most cotton
owning it when made.
The credit way looks the easy
way, but it strangles most farmers
before they get through life.
81 have said repeatedly in public
addresses that no state or section of
any country can be prosperous that
is regularly dependent on another
section for it's food supplies. What
is true Of a state or section is true
of the individual farmer.
The great exhibits Of grain, hay
and food products shown at the South
eastern Fair held in Atlanta in No
vember, give the lie to the statement
that these things cannot be grown
here at home successfully and prof
itably.
"A good big home garden kept
planted and rightly tended through
the season will produce half OF the
living besides furnishing an abund-
ance for canning or drying from the
surplus.
when we make our food and grain
we will have few or no debts at the
store; we will own instead of owe
our crops when made. and farm
wealth will accumulate in the south
instead of farm and crop mortgages"

The people who are worth while to
a community are not always the ones
most conspicuous. The real builders
are modest men and women-people
who have little desire for glory and
who fill faithfully the place in which
their lot is cast. The foundation of
all real progress is moral rather than
material. 1t cannot be estimated in
dollars, nor reduced to any definite set
of rules. Character, rather than ac-
tions must lie at the foundation of real
progress, true prosperity.

GOOD ROADS BOND ISSUE.

The subject of good roads was
again agitated at a meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce Wednesday
evening, and a committee was ap-
pointed to take the matter up with
the county delegation and urge that
the matter of bond issue be left
to the vote of the people at an early
day. The consensus of opinion eX-
pressed at the recent meeting was
that the bond issue would carry pro-
vided the bill was properly framed
and the right men appointed to carry
out the building plans.
That there has been a very consid-
cradle change in sentiment on this
question cannot be doubted. Many
who opposed the former movement
have come to see the matter in a diff
ferent light. Then, too, the objec-
tionable features In the movement be-
fore can be largely eliminated, for
experience is great teacher.
That our people desire good roads
is admitted by all. That the needs
are gradually coming to be more fully
realized cannot be doubted. The
thoughtful people, both merchant and
farmer, mill man and mechanic who
thinks for himself, wants good roads.
The man who does not want good
roads is a freak or fool. 1t is all a
question of how to get them and
whether we are able to pay for them.
I do not know just what plan is in
the mind of others, but would, per-
sonally, be in favor of allowing each
township to settle the question for
itself. If Union township wants good
roads strong enough to vote and pay
for them, let Union township go ahead
and vote bond issue or an additional
tax levy and build it's roads. So with
all other townships in the county. 1t
might be possible to allow the county
to vote on two plans, one the town
ship unit plan and the other the coun-
ty unit plan. If the majority over
the whole county vote for the build
ing of roads, that would settle the
matter. If a township here and
there throughout the county voted for
roads, then let those townships so
voting go ahead and build their roads.
There is no justice in compelling a
township that wants good roads and
is willing to pay for them being held
back by a township that opposes good
roads. 1t would be better to have the
whole county build good roads. But
if this is impracticable, let each town
ship that desires good roads go ahead
and build.

BANDIT CHIEF SHOT TO DEATH.
Col. Bara Wales Shot by a Firing
Squad-Bullets Penetrated His
Heart.

Ell Paso, Jan. 18.-Colonel Miguel
Bara Wales, bandit chief, who was
captured at Palomas, south of Colum-
bus, New Mexico, was executed at B
O'Clock this morning by firing squad
at Juarez. Two bullets penetrated his
heart.
Bara Wales arrived last night on
the train bearing the body of Jose
Rodriguez. Wales was known as
Villas executioner at Juarez. He was
marched through the station where
many slept. Little interest was
shown because executions were so
frequent during the final days of the
Villa rule.
Proceedings were brief. The pris-
oner declared he was not RESPONSE
BILE for Villas acts and begged to see
the general. The officer command
ing the firing squad said he had or
ders to kill. He and the soldiers
stepped close to Wales, firing point
blank at his heart. His body was car
ried back to the station and lay uncov-
cred until after dawn, among sleep
ing men, women and children.
Lieutenant Colonel Enrique Cisne-
ros, captured last week with Wales,
is being marched overland with eight
followers caught with him.
Mexican officials say he will be
promptly executed.
No Quarters Will Be Given.

bandits will be vigorously hunted
down and no quarter given. He claims
to have 4,3OO men in this vicinity.
