THE CARDS ARE STACKED.

If Governor Harris is correct, Geor
gia is fast developing sectional strife
which is to become bitter in the neal
future. The primary of last week
analysed by more than one of the cam
paigners. showed that there is a north
Georgia, separate and apart from south
Georgia. Returns for several south
Georgians in the races for office show
ed them out of the running in NORTH
Georgia.
Governor Harris pointed out tina
he got nothing above Atlanta, eXcep
in one or two instances where his sup
port was so isolated from the othe'
portions of north Georgia as to make
it hard for the politician of that sec
ton TO develop strength on sectiona
argument This applied to an eXten
to those south Georgia candidates who
sought places on the court of appeals
1t has not been intimated that the
capital removal fight had to do witt
this division of the state in the mat
ter of choosing Office holders. bu
there is good ground for believing tina
it played a part. 1t is certain to play
a stronger part in proportion TO tho
strength of the agitation in the legis
lature. South Georgia members o
the legislature have found that
means something and are already max
ing plans to fight their own fight OF
measures involving interests in south
Georgia.
The senatorial redistractation meas
ure which passed the lower house anC
was defeated in the senate, and which
would have given more senators tC
south than to north Georgia could be
handled by Atlanta only in the senate
aid there the measure was killed af-
ter it seemed to have a fair showing
Atlanta has the cards stacked for
the future in the governor-elect and

THE NEED OF GOOD MEN.

The average good man will not
stand for the "cussing" that is us
ually heaped upon the head of NUM-
cipal government. 1t IS a bad dose for
any man. Running for the office of
Mayor or a seat in council is often dis
asteful. All the contemplate inven-
lions and schemes known to modern
politics usually face the man who an
1ounces for municipal office. Politi-
cal economists, with one voice assert
hat the American city affords the
worst examplifcation of rotten poll
les in the world.
1t is often the custom to charge a
nan in advance with having in mind
some huge graft when he aspires to
municipal office and his motive is i'm
)ugned, no matter which way he
urns. Good men get tired and quit
disgust.
This condition of affairs many times
irevents the city, both large and
mall, from having good government.
Vt any stage of development it has
Is blighting effect. What it can cost
live, progressive community can
iever be accurately estimated.
The average voter will say he favors
rood business men to handle the af-
airs of the municipal government
Most OF the tax payers are vitality in
crested in a business administration
# the city government. 1t means
omething to them and it means pro
,ress for the whole community.
Cordele faces a municipal election
his fall. Nothing ought to prevent
:ood men from asking for the offices
hat are to be filled. And rotten poll
les ought not be allowed to prevent
;ood men from being elected. If there
re men willing to take hold, let the
ak payers, the voter, concern himself
nough to see that the contest is
lean, open and above board. In every
,ase those elected should then have
he warm support of the whole COM
nunity

feels safe for at least two years. But
the redistribution measure is to be Of

after it is passed or not and south
Georgia will fight for representation
in the state senate as fair as that now

of the thing may be all wrong, but
south Georgia has as much right with

Old Wines.

Some time ago bottle of ancient wine was found during the demolition of an old house at Ffnsbury, England. It appears that this ancient bottle Is eclipsed by the treasures of France. Some of the cellars in Paris contain bottles of Sauterne at least two cen turies old. This is very respect able age, but it is nothing compared with certain Ribeauvilliers of 1852, or Steinwein of 1540, or a Jewish Passover wine of five centuries and q half. Still. in the museum at Reims there Is far older wine, or rather 6 bottle containing something which was once wine.
 It Is said to date four centuries be- fore our era. This, tradition says, was found in . tomb of the Gallo Roman period. Berthelot, the celebrated chemist, has left on record that he once analysed bottle of wine made in the neighborhood of Rome about Nero's time. In this case the analyst had only dry residuum to work upon.

z SHORE LEAVE. N ''''- --''-'
 By ELLIS WAkEMAN.


 When the Reliance dropped anchor of Block island during the maneuvers around Newport and Point Judith Tinkham appeared to have 8 settled melancholy descend on him.
 Deborah. That was her name. Funny, sweet, little old-fashioned name. he thought, Deborah Allan. She had been born right there on the is. land, 15 miles out from the mainland, and to Tinkham she seemed as sweet and rare as one of her own islsad pond lilies the barefooted boys brought around the hotels and docks.
 All he had done that first day was to look at her and say. Hello, sweet. heart!"
 And she had cuffed him soundly, her big, dark eyes ablaze with swift an- ger. her little hand stinging in it's re- buke.
 You boys from the ships think you own the island the minute you land here." she had told him. And we're not that sort"
 She wasn't that sort,' either. A bit of "Mandalay'' had always made him think of her in the long cruises later on. I've a heater, sweeter maiden in cleaner, greener land"
 She had boxed his ears, but she had also all unwittingly given him a new ideal of girlhood, and in his own way he had tried to fit his standards of life to the new picture.
 Somewhere be had learned that she played the organ up at little St. Anns. by-the-Sea. and he had slipped into one of the back pews to listen to her just for one Sunday. his heater, sweeter maiden" Also, before the ships had slipped away toward Newport, he had found a chance of meeting her father. The old man had been busy calking the seams in his sailing boat and Tinkham had spent all hfs morning one day helping him and telling him stories of navy life. His reward had come when Deborah came down to call her father to dinner, and they had met properly and rightly, and he had held her hand in greeting.
 His time was up in September. If he could only be sure she was still there in the little white house on the shore road. He stayed on board and hugged his memory of her, afraid to risk the truth. Then Grinman came back and told him. big 'Grinman of the gunners' mess.
 She's still here, Tink." excitedly. Seen her today myself. She's all alone up there. Lost her father in the March blows.'
 'Dead?" asked Tinkham.
 Sure. She's all alone, I'm telling you. Thought you'd like to know
 Thanks" answered Tinklam. and

the next day he got shore leave. As he turned up the beaten track to the cottage, he lifted his cap and tucked | it under his arm for all the world the way he had the day he went to hear her play in church. Then, finally, he stood at the green screen side door. tapping, he, Tinkham of the navy, with year between him and girl who had boxed his ears.
 But he had full revenge. She came quickly from the inner room and saw him, and the color rose to her face as she gave quick indrawn little gasp and laughed to cover it.
 Tinkham had rehearsed all sorts of proper speeches all the way along the road, and now he stood silent adoring her, and all he could think to say was My times up in September. I'm on shore leave today"
 She gave him a chair on the little porch looking seaward, and they sat down.
 Did you think I'd come?" he asked Didn't you even remember mel"
 She glanced from him to the boat lying keel up down on the sands
 Yes, I remembered Dad liked to talk to you best of the boys that came up here from the ships"
 You'll never like me, cause l spoke to you that day, will you?' he asked hungrily. T didn't say anything only"
 'I remember what you said" She smiled at him from under her long lashes. Its just what all of them say to any girl.''
 If l said it today it wouldn't be the same," said Tinkham doggedly "Fd-Id mean it. That's what came ashore for. guess I've thought about you every day for a year. and when heard about your trouble I had to come. I've only got one more month to serve then I'm going out home to see my mother and sisters. But I'm coming back. I cant get away from the sea. I like it right here. Maybe it's you that makes the island seem wonderful. I don't know, but 1 feel it right here.''
 Tinkham stopped and waited. He was not given to eloquence. Love seemed to leave him wordless and smitten with it's glory. Deborah was looking past him out to sea. where the warships lay, gun metal gray Tn the morning light on the sapphire water.
 I'm coming back in September. If there isn't anybody else" She shook her head quickly, and Tinkham's blue eyes sparkled. He leaned toward her eagerly, throwing his challenge to fate.
 Hello, sweetheart" he whispered, not as he had said it that first day, but with all his hearts longing in his voice, all his Iife's hope in the call Hello sweetheart"
 And Deborah, blushing softly, stretched out her hand to him.
 Hello, boy!" she answered. T kind of thought you'd come ashore. Copyright. 1915. by the Mcclure Newspa- per Syndicate)

HEALTHY RIVALRY IS BEST
Boys and Girls Need Something Be. sides Home Training, Asserts
 Eastern Journal.

The father of two school children who refuses to have his offspring vac cinated, and therefore does not send them to school, says the mother is just as we'll qualified as any teacher to in- struct the children at home.
 This parent misses the point of something more than the inoculating quill, the Philadelphia Ledger asserts. Of course, the mother knows her own children, and no doubt has retained from her own scbooidays and subse- quent reading enough book learning to qualify as their instructress. Many wise men and good women have profit ably gone to school at the mothers knee in the three R's as we'll as in piety. But the rule is that children do better who face the competition of the schoolroom and undergo the disci- pline of healthy rivalry with their comrades. There Is less danger Of growing up spoiled or Q solitary minded child.
 Every boy and girl needs that part of schooling which comes from other pupils. not from the teacher. There is evil sometimes mingled with the good. and a careful supervision must go as far as it can to check any pernicious influence. But the child grows up to a world to give and take. and must know how to fear God and take his own part in it. Moreover, there is nothing like keeping the definite hours and following the plan of impartial, inflexible routine in the school life. Home is . respecter of persons; the mother is likely to be led by her affec- tions into an overtenderness that tenn pers the wind to her shorn lamb. The republic of school stands upon the doctrine of equality in human rights. Fair play Is it's reign of law. It Is not disparaging the mother to say that in normal pupilage the teacher who Is mo relation" Is the best.

people were now interested to know
what specific mechanical innovations
were promised for the near future"
The inventor sat for some time quiet

well, if it were not for the inter
ference of the government with the
railroads they would all be electri-
fed by now. Until they are allowed
to accumulate enough surplus earn
ings to finance this change the people
will have to do without this much
needed improvement in American
transportation"

cause of its ability to make its own
power, would perform most of the
work on the farm. But" he said,
