ICED that It would be physically i'm
possible for them to protect every gar

peal to the patriotism Of the people
by placing the gardens under the pro-

Large signs were furnished garden

These signs bear the words: Honor

 It seems good time to repeat the familiar symphony of William Henry Channing lest we lose sight of it's possibilities in these times when we hear much of bad weather, war and high prices. 'To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quickly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages with open heart; to hear all oheerfully, do all bravely,- await occasions, hurry never in word to let the spiritual, unbid. den and unconscious, grow up through the oommon-this is to be my symphony.

ENGLISH PUBLIC SCHOOL
BOYS ECONOMIZING FOR
PERIOD OF THE WAR

LONDON, April 24.-The English
public school boy is doing his little for
England today.
Elton and Harrow, England's two
great public schools, have kiven up
tuck shops" and creases until after
the war.
The bays of Harrow decided on their
own initiative not to buy any more
pastry or candy at the tuck shops and
not to have their trousers pressed
while the war lasts. The boys of Elton
had measures similarly restricting
their gastronomics and their neither
garments thrust upon them.
Bread, meat and sugar, the A B C's
of the Food Controllers thou shalt
not's, are included in the sweeping
ordinance the youngsters of Harrow
imposed upon themselves. They have
agreed not to buy any article of food
containing these three substances ex-
cept during the regular hours for
meals, and then to tsay within the sug-
gested limits each week. AS for their
tailors, they're going to cut them out
altogether. The good old under the
mattress" hiding place will have to
dc the trick to keep the young Harrow
ians from looking as though they were
ready to jump.
The Elton boys neglected to adopt
similar measures in time and the
teachers did it for them. Besides i'm
posing strict regulations for the young
Etonian's foddering. the faculty has
decided to assist the railroads of the
country by cutting down unnecessary
travelling.
So the Elton boys won't have an va.
cations this year.

WHY MISREPRESENT?
(From the Dalton Citizen

(From the Dalton Citizen.)
The attention of the Atlanta
Constitution, the ancient and hon
orable Augusta Chronicle, The
Herald Journal, The Dalton Citi-
zen and a few other Georgia pa
.pers is respectfully coalled to the
fact that there were only seven
lynchings in Georgia last year and
that The Chicago Tribune and the
Tuskegee Institute figures were
incorrect.-Madiso Madisonian.
We also wish to inform the es-
teemed Madisonian that five of the
seven lynched were proved inno-
cent and that seven lynchings a
year are seven too many.-The
Dalton Citizen.
We never could see what good
was to be gained by misrepresent-
ing the situation. AS a matter of
fact, there were fourteen lynchings
in Georgia last year. Just because
the fourteen victims were lynched
on seven occasions does not make
the number of crimes any less.
Georgians had just as we'll face the
situation squarely and truthfully.
They can gain nothing by evasion
or an attempt 70 make the stain
less by a play upon words.-Tifton
Gazette.
The Gazette is right. The Citizen
has no desire to misrepresent by play
upon words. We knew there were four
teen lynchings during the year 1915
and have before this printed the names
Of the victims. We were simply trying
to show The Madisonian the absurdity
Of its position, granting, for the sake
Of argument, its statement that only
seven were lynched, five Of whom were
innocent.
The Madisonian now wants to know
The names of the FIVE victims. II its
editor will take the trouble to examine
he court records of Worth county he
will be able to find the names he de-
sires. 1t was in January, 1916, II we
are not mistaken 1--WE are writing from
that five negroes were lynch
I'd for numbering a sheriff. In Febru-
,ry. 1917, it was proved in court that
he five negroes were innocent. Jim
Keith, who narrowly escaped the fury
Of the mob that lynched the five, was
ziven a new trial as a result of newly
discovered evidence. He was cleared
oy a white jury, the evidence showing
Keith and the FIVE dead negroes inno-
cent, the same evidence also showing
hat Mozelle Lake. who escaped, was
he murderer of the sheriff.
The action of any mob is indefens-
BILE, and when we see man trying 70
,ondone its crimes we can't help but
.hink there is something wrong some
where. We have no patience with
such stuff and such men.
