HARRIS CONVINCED 2.QUART
Law is FAILURE; WILL CALL
EXTRA SESSION IF NECESSARY

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 21.-That Gov
ernor Harris will call an extra ses-
sion of the Georgia legislature for
action on bone dry" liquor bills, un-
less the United States congress should
pass the Reed amendment to the post
Office appropriation bill, which amend
ment prohibits the shipment of liquor
into dry states, is now certainty
A delegation of citizens who advo-
cate a special session were informed
yesterday afternoon by the governor
that he has made up his mind to is.
sue a call in the event the Reed amend
ment fails to become a federal law.
whereas, if the amendment should
pass the senate and the house and be
signed by the president. he would not
consider an extra session necessary.
The governor has reached his con-
clusion as the result of a satisfactory
showing made to him that the con-
tinued shipment of liquor into the
state, in spite of the prohibition laws
already in force which limit the indi-
vidual supply to two quarts month.
have created very serious farm la
Dor situation in the rural districts.
1t has been shown to the governor
that the very large exodus of negroes
to northern states has made it all the
more necessary for the farmers to
be able to rely upon the balance who
are left for work in the fields, and
that if large quantities of liquor con-
tinue to be shipped into the state, the
farmers will have difficulty in max
ing this years cotton and other crops.
1t is probable that the governor in
the event of an extra session, will in
clude provision in his call for action
to meet the deficiency in the Con-
federate pension fund, which deficien-
cy amounts to $4,000 in round num-
bers.

FARMERS STRONG IN
PLANNING FOR YEAR

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 21.-Recent
wintry weather did heavy damage to
small grains and early vegetables all
the way to the Gulf. Experts are say
ing that it must have destroyed many
boil weevils in their winter quarters
and thus contributed to the outlook
fore cotton, The optimistic view OF
the cotton prospects held by the far
mer seems to have been strengthened
rather than weakened by the war sit
uation.
The severity Of the winter has
necessarily modified the plans of the
Southern farmer. Fields of winter
killed small grain will go under the
pillow this spring for re-planting. This
means a larger acreage in summer
crops than the Southern farmer had
planned. While cotton will come in
for its share, the farmer in the boil
weevil territory will in all probability,
rot again be caught carrying all his
eggs in one basket, so that a consid-
cradle portion of the new acreage to
be planted this spring will be given
to corn with interplanting of velvet
beans, peanuts, coy beans and cow
peas. Present prices and prospects
for all these crops seem equally in
viting to the farmer.
Advice of business men and agricul-
tlral authorities which has gone out
over the South for the farmer to raise
larger crops this year, and arguing
that whether there is peace or war
high prices will rule, seems to have
spurred the farmer to greatest &C
tivity in his efforts to realize the
benefits of war prices. This is best
reflected at this time in his purchase
of fertilizers. The fertilizer trade re-
ports a very active season.
/, Fear is being expressed that war or
extensive preparation for war may
make further requisition upon fer
t'liZer supplies. In such case, the
farmer who has already purchased his
plant food will, of course. escape the

HEALTH BOARD HAS
WORKED WITH LAW
ISSUED by The Georgia State Board
of HEALTHY

OF Health.)
We think it not amiss to call atten-
ton to the fact that ever since the
Ellis public health act was passed in
1914 this board has done everything
within it's power to get the law adopt
ed throughout the state. This law, be
it understood, is largely local option
measure, and in order for it to be put
into operation in any given county. it
is absolutely necessary that two sue
cessibe grand juries recommend it.
We have adopted variety of means
for getting this matter in a favorable
light before the public and the grand
juries.
We have repeatedly issued articles
in the newspapers, and have distrib-
uted thousands of bulletins through
our mailing list calling attention to
the necessity of our people having
better sanitary conditions, and urging
the adoption of the Ellis law through
out Georgia as the proper means to
that end.
Some of the members of this board
have appeared in person before grand
juries and have besought them to rec
ommend this law in their present
ments.
Long ago we wrote to all the Su-
perior court judges and requested
them to charge their grand juEies
concerning this important matter.
Many personal interviews have been
held with individuals who were either
interested, or whom we thought it at
all worth lille to interest in this con-
nection.
Besides these and other things, we
have sent our publicity man into
many of the counties and had him
give illustrated lectures to Women's
clubs, Teachers associations, and to
other organizations, and to the gen.
eral public, in an effort to work up
sentiment in favor of the adoption of
the provisions of the public health
law.
1t is a great pleasure to US to note
that recently the Georgia Chamber Of
Commerce and the public health Sec
tion of the Federated Women's clubs
have expressed their intention also Of
getting actively behind this matter. We
welcome their cooperation, and we
extend to any organization or individ-
ual cordial invitation to join with
us in the effort we have been making
for more than twelve years to improve
the sanitary conditions of our state.

was put into effect in Sumter county,

FACTS ABOUT THE
IENTEN SEASON.

First of all, it is fact. 1t has
been observed for 1900 years. This
year it will be kept with more or
less devotion by three hundred and
fifty thousand out of the supposed
four hundred million Christians in
the world.
It's aim is the development of
Christian character, and the church
sets herself about this work with
great earnestness.
The lessons taught during Lent
are of inestimable value. We all
need them. They will help us to
discern the things of real value in
life. to subdue and control our sim
full impulses, and, if we learn them
Alright, they will bring peace to body
soul and spirit.
