A Matter of Drainage.

To Those Interested in Drainage. Greeting:
The pressure Of business on my farm
for the past two months has been so
heavy that i have been unable too see
many of you concerning the matter of
drainage commissioner, Furthermore,
since this office is not in the slightest
sense political, but rather purely husi-
ness position, the value of much person
al canvassing is doubtful. What COM
missioner should do is not a matter of
policy, nor of individual inclination =
his duties are specified by law for him
they are clear cut and positive.
In the past, discussion of this drain
age project, as inneed is the case with
every big under taking, there has been
much confusion Of thought and state
ment. Anger has in some instances
gotten the better of judgment, and both
hasty and unfortunate fancies have
been spoken. Now, let US put all past
rumors and guesses behind US and in a
reasonable way look at facts.
The next step in the development of
the proposed drainage project is a sur
Macon beacon., 1917-10-19

vey. Only by survey can any deter
mination of the exact course of the ca
nal and its approximate cost be made.
He who says otherwise is doing nothing
more than guessing, and my and your
guesses are just as valuable as his,
since none have any value.
One year and some half dozen over
fows-four of these overfows between
February lst and April lst, 19l7-bave
passed since our commission was elected,
and never an engineer has set foot on
the job
These two statements cover the con-
ditions with which we must deal at this
time, for what is passed is accomplished,
and no further development can take
place until the survey is made. stand
unreservedly in favor of the survey and
estimate. which has always been my
position in this matter. This ls nothing
more than the commissioner bounden
duty, and his instruction under the law.
He has no choice.
| Beyond that point | am also quite
willing to commit myself, t0wit. If
this estimate shows that drainage Ca
nal is practicable and within the limits
of reasonable cost, then as an indivi-
dual want the canal. But if the mass
of property owners do not want it, GER
tainly the commission must abide by
what the mass of property owners
want. If the cost appears too great or
| the project appears for other reasons
impracticable. as an individual shall
oppose it. But if the mass of property
owners want it, certainly the commits
sion must then also do what the owners
want. | am utterly unable to make a
clearer statement, and any modification
of the above statement attributed to me
must be regarded as inaccurate and un-
advised.
Now let US examine into the drainage
canal, as follows: Would it prevent
overfows?
1t would not. Nobody who wants it,
so far as | can learn, has ever stated
that it would prevent all overhows; but
it will greatly lessen the duration of
overflows. Noxubee River water trav-
els, we will say, three miles in deliver
ing it's water one mile as the crow flies;
canal therefore would deliver this wa
ter three times as fast, since it has to
travel only one third the distance. Now
water, in q straigetaway course through
Macon beacon., 1917-10-19

the same foot elevation or falD. will
travel with several times the velocity
of that water which twists and turns
in its course. In other words, the rate
of travel per mile straightaway is much
more rapid than the rate per mile tor
tuous. Let US say this ratio is three to
one for Noxubee River. Multiplying
the two factors. one-third the distance
and three times the velocity, we have,
three times three equals nine. 1t is a
reasonable guess therefore that the wa
ter will move off nine times as quickly
with canal as under our present con
ditions. Instead of a nine day overflow
we would have only one. or instead Of
eighteen days we would have only two.
This guess is based on both figures and
reason, and is not fgment of magma
tion.
Would canal benefit US for agricul-
tural and sanitary purposes? AS for
the effects on agriculture, compare our
crops the preseut year with those of 'l5
and 'l6. And the belief is hard to es-
cape that ou- crops this year would have
been even better had not the four spring
overhows pitifully delayed US in prepar-
ing and planting our river bottom lands.
In sanitary way, compare malarial
and pneumonic prevalence in any wet
year with year such as the present
one A canal will facilitate the drain
ing off of marshes and sloughs, and will
effect the destruction of millions Of ma
larial mosquitoes.
Finally Dear this in mind. my friends:
No great undertaking has ever been
consummated without opposition and
dire predictions of ruin and failure.
When the great system of subways
in New York City was proposed there
vas opposition. Today more than a
million peope each day use this under
ground trolley system to get to and
from their places of business. The
great tubes under the Hudson River
were likewise prophetically doomed to
failure. Today more than one hundred
passenger trans carrying thousands of
Dasseng, ,rs enter and leave the city
through these tubes driven through the
mud under the river.
We are living in an age of intensive
enterprise and progress. Let Us not
fall behind the procession.
Opportunity is shy suitor, but it
strikes me that he is plainly courting US
now.
Ipromise you that II you select me

Home Economics Letter.

To Girls Canning Clubs:
The prize offered in club work last
year for largest number of containers
raised and canned from one-tenth acre
plot, at least cost, was S. offered by
Bank of Macon and Bank of Brooksville
and goes to Miss Bessie Helen Russell,
president of Mashulaville Canning Club
She has also won the prize of S. offered
by M. & F. Bank to Canning Club girl
who won largest number of prizes at
the county exhibit.
Miss ua NJ. card of the Lyon
Creek Clup deserves honorable mention,
as the contest between these two mem
bers was very close, and both have
canned over 1000 containers from their
one-tenth acre plot. They will have ex-
hibits at the State Fair at Jackson next
week. Here's hoping they will win
prizes for Noxubee county.
After November lst | want to visit
all schools and communities in the
county ard re-orgaaize the clubs ar!
elect new officers. Let's begin this tall
to work on our plots SO that in 1913 we
will all have 1000 cans to sci. These
girls have shown US what can be done.
so let's all get to work and do oul oesr
for another year. Hoping to see you
all soon, am,

NOTES OF The GAME.

Rupert, part owner of the Yankees,
and Business Manager Sparrow and
several OF the scribes travelling with
the team, came to Chicago today in
time to grace Griffith day with their
presence.
Nick Altrock staged his inimitable
shadow boxing and wrestling exhibit
during the brief wait, while the two
pitchers were warming up after the
feature stuff was finished. He kept
the big crowd in roar.
Leibold made a great catch Of a
drive from Leonard's bat in the far
corner of the lot in the second inning,
then picked biff from Menoskey out
of the sun in the fifth. He did not
see the latter hit until just in time
to stab it with one hand.
Schalk, Collins, and Risberg worked
the play to kill a double steal to per-
fectiOn in the seventh. Schalk's throw
could have been pulled down by Col
lins II the runner had stirred of third,
hut as he didn't Collins let it so
through and it was right on the base
for Risberg to catch it and tag the
man coming from first.
The White Sox now have won thir-
teen games from the Nationals and
lost six to them this year. Griffith S
men have won only one out of eleven
games played here.
The musicians made the crowd stand
I'd in the wrong half of the seventh
inning by playing the national anthem
in the first half, but it did not bring
Washington any luck, and the Sol
cinched the game in the second hal

MAROONS TAKE FIRST
BATTLE OF Series
Rosedale Leaguers Defeat General
Office in Post-Season Game.

In the first game of the post series
for the amateur championship of the
District yesterday at the Terminal
Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. grounds the
Maroon club of the Rosedale League
defeated the General Office team of
the railroad circuit in an interesting
game, to 3.
The Maroons had the better of the
argument and hit Schafer hard in
spots, especially when runners were
on the bases. The Rosedalers started
of in the first inning. Roche, the
first man to face Schafer, was passed
and Plunkett beat out ain infield hit.
Fitzgerald, in attempting to bunt,
was thrown out at first but Roche and
Plunkett moved to third and second
respectively. Mccarthy was passed
and when Doleman hit to Hill the
shortstop tried to cut Roche off at the
plate, but his throw was wide and the
third sacker counted. Eiseman hit to
Hutchinson but he momentarily
judgled the ball and Plunkett was
over the plate with the second run of
the inning.
The Rosedalers kept driving away
at Schafer and scored two more in the
third, one more was put over in the
fourth and in the sixth another run
was added.
Bischoff, who did the hurting for the
Maroons, did not allow the railroad
ers a hit until the third when More
land hit one down to Roche which
he knocked down but could not field
General Office did not score until the
sixth when on two hits and some slow
work by the infelders three runs were
put over the plate. In the last two
innings Bischoff held the railroaders
safe as he only allowed one hit. Z
