For a FlylesS Dawson.

The season has arrived when the gay and
festive fly becomes a pest, and when his willy
Vaccinations must be firmly combatted if
we are to have peace. 1t is idle to hope
that we may have a "fyIess" Dawson, even
by the exercise of the utmost care; but it
is fact that watchfulness and thoughtful
ness can and will do much toward Destroy
ing the effectiveness of the fy's annual on
slaught.
1t is not necessary to repeat the many
things which residents of Dawson can do in
furtherance of a concerted movement against
the tiny winged pest. All of us know them
by heart. 1t is not lack of knowledge,
but, rather, a failure to do these things,
which gives the fly such a foothold.
Let Dawsonians be up and doing then
"while the doing's good" as the slang phrase
would express it. Proper precautions, indie
fatigably applied, mean a wonderful degree
of peace and comfort. They mean more
than that, too, for every time you swat a
fly you have added just that much to the
community healthfulness.

A Timely Hint to Investors.

A sensible resolution could be made this
year by good many small savers through
out the United States, and that is that they
will not put their money into any enterprise
unless they know something about it, says
a writer in Leslie's. The appalling figures
of the postal department show that hun
dreds of millions of dollars have been taken
from credulous savers by those who have
tricked them into buying worthless stocks.
They carry their own lesson.
Let every one remember that promoters
who offer magnificent fortunes for a small
investment are not in business for their
health Those who have fortunes in sight
are not giving them away to others. Don't
believe all that is told you by promoters of
new schemes, and remember that promises
made in prospectuses by strangers carry no
weight.
In these days, when the small investor
can buy one share of a good dividend-pay-
ing security, either paying in full or buy
ing on a partial payment plan with a small
deposit down, there is no reason why any
one should use his few dollars in speculat-
ing in worthless stocks such as promoters
have been peddling for many years to Their
. own enrichment and the Impeachment Of
n their customers.

Mr.. Hugh Dorsey.

Hon Hugh M. Dorsey has removed all
doubt. if there was any, as to his political
aspirations by announcing his candidacy for
governor In making a brief statement to
that effect in Sundays papers he said he has
positive views on the various issues which
affect the welfare of our state and the ad-
ministration of laws" and that rs will make
known his platform at later date.
If there are those who imagine that the
Atlanta solicitor-general will not be a big
factor in the gubernatorial race-well, they
are mistaken. 1t is but justice to him to
say that Mr.. Dorsey will command attention,
and is competent to present his case in an
able manner.

".SOId His Durr Little Home
From the Clinton Democrat.


One Of these dealers who sell stock at a
good figure to men who have little else than
a little land and high hopes was telling a
crowd the other day about a little trouble
he'd had with one of these fellows. 'tWhat
was the trouble?" some one asked. "Oh, -

Durn Little Home! Doesn't the gentle
man who got his satisfaction when the little
home was sold know that two rooms may be
as good a setting for home as the most

know that the one rocker, the cracked pitch
er, the little album and the fancifully en-
larged pictures may be as highly priced as
the most expensive furnishings in another

Durn Little Home! Why couldn't the

May Write Another Note.

President Wilson's last note to Germany
was so strongly worded that it was politi-
calIy and popularity regarded as an ulti-
matum. The president told Germany GER
tain things which must be done and certain
things which must not be done. Unless his
viewpoint was promptly and unequivocally
met, he said, diplomatic relations would be
severed.
Germany's reply to the ultimatum is now
at hand perusal of its contents can lead
10 but one conclusion. Stripped of its diplo-
matte verbiage Berlin has said to Washing
ton something just about to this effect go
where the woodbine twineth and the whang-
doodle whangeth! Attend to your own bus
mess, and we'll attend to ours! You want
us to abandon submarine warfare, Ell? Well,
we won't do it! Now, what are you going
to do about it?"
And The News itself is anxious to know
what will be done about it, In common
with a great many other citizens of the Unit
ed States-several millions of them, in
fact-we find ourselves wondering when the
period of writing is to end. All of the
ADMINISTRATORS official communications to
Germany have been threatening in tone;
each one has implied that it was to be the
last; each has been described as firm and de-
cisive.
But the correspondence goes on intermi-

addition to aer arrogance, is laughing at us

BROTHERHOOD OF PITY
The Duties of the Strange Misericordia
Society.

In the streets of Leghorn, Italy, may fire.
quently be seen a procession of a dozen men,
clothed from head to toe in black calico
masks falling to waist, with narrow open
ings for the eyes, and surmounted by black,
brOad-brimmed hats. Black gloves and
girdle and a rosary of black beads complete
the funeral equipment.
With downcast eyes what appears like a
coffin borne on the shoulders of four of
them and preceded by a man carrying a
large silver crucifx, they march quickly
past, with a reVerent mien and in the ut
most silence. If, in their progress, the pro-
cessioners pass a church they raise their
hats. If they encounter a priest they put
down their burden and fall on their knees
to receive his blessing.
This spectacle has been familiar in Tus-
cany for four centuries The black-garbed
men are simply engaged in work of mer-
cy-the carrying of the dead to their graves
and of the injured or sick to the hospitals.
They are members of the great Misericordia
Society, a brotherhood of pity, who give
their services to this good work and wear
their masks to hide their identity from curl
Gus eyes.
Four centuries ago the society was found
ed at Florence, where its headquarters are,
and throughout Tuscany it has today no few
err than 70 branches. In Leghorn alone it
has 5000 members-probably one out of
every five of the adult male population; and
every member gives his services gladly and
gratuitously.
There is no reward for the work except
medal of bronze or silver for those who
are most diligent in attendance and the
right of burial in a pecial cemetery.

The Democratic Way.

The state democratic executive committee
has decided that in the forthcoming state
primary the results shall be decided by the

The News is glad that the committee took
this action. 1t was the only democratic
thing to be done under the circumstances,
preserving as it does the rights of rural
counties with comparatively small popula-
ton.
The county unit system is the time-hon-
ored democratic method, and the action of
the committee is approved by very large
majority of the democratic party of Geor-
gia.

The Sun is reluctantly compelled to

plain to be disregarded. The appetite
for free advertisement grows daily.

"In The Heart. "

Judd Mortimer Lewis, feature writer o.
the Houston (Texas) Daily Post, has for
long while been justly regarded as one of the
most entertaining and prolific newspaper
men in the South. There is a laugh in al
most every line his typewriter turns out
But occasionally he departs from humor-
Gus vein, and into his efforts there creeps
a quaint sadness of appeal, and now comes
Mr.. Lewis with This under the caption, In
the Heart
In the heart of Michigan is the old
Lewis homestead, where my father lived
and died, and few men have loved a
woman as dearly as my father loved the
old home 1t consists of approximately
eighty acres of splendid farming land,
which will produce two hundred bush
els of Irish potatoes to the acre. APP
proximately fifty acres of the homestead
is in cultivation, the balance being in
woodland lying along the stream. The
house is upon hill and commands
beautiful view of the surrounding coun-
try and is partly surrounded by grove
of perhaps hundred stately elm trees.
There is a we'll of ice water on the
place, and enough rock has been gath
cred to furnish material for large
modern bungalow. Every tree, every
curve of the singing stream is dear to
my heart, and it will grieve me to part
with it, but 1 cannot farm it proftably
by absent treatment" Poets do not
maintain summer homes, and l am in
urgent need of money. The old home
stead is easily worth ten thousand dol
lars (indeed, ten thousand dollars
seems ridiculously low valuation to
place upon it), but I will part with it
for six thousand dollars cash. But
should like the privilege of repurchas-
ing it sometime if my ship comes in.
The newspaper fraternity learns with re-
ret of Mr.. Lewis financial embarrassment,
nd hopes he may find a purchaser for the
Id family home he loves so well, and regrets
o deeply to offer upon the public block.
More than this they will hope that his
hip may come in-that it may even now
