HAND IN HAND.

1t is charged that tuberculosis an
liquor stalk down life's pathway al
most hand in hand, and the counte
Legation is made that with prohibition
the fight ON tuberculosis is benefited
The Augusta Chronicle has this inter
esting editorial on the matter:
Along with the campaign against
liquor there is a determined eff
fort being made throughout the
nation to lessen the disastrous
loss of life brought about by the
great white plague-tuberculosis
Exponents of prohibition are uni
fled in declaring that Americas
death loss of 100000 people an
nually from tuberculosis will be
materially decreased Immediately
in every section where absolute
prohibition prevails.
Destitution and want stalk I'M
attended in sections where whisky
is sold in unrestrained ways and
it is in these very localities thar
the largest number of consump-
tive cases are found and the great
est mortality from this dreadful
disease exists. The anti-tubercul-
osis organization has thousands OF
workers enlisted in its battle
against the white plague and is
doing effective work.
The argument is presented in
favor of prohibition that when
this improved state of affairs ex-
lists there is marked development
of health and sanitary conditions.
People are using their money for
real benefaction in the way of
treating consumptives, and the pro-
gress has been so remarkable as
to attract wide attention.
From the economic standpoint

THE CLANS ARE NOW
ORGANIZING STRONG

(From Swainsboro Forest-Blade)
They're about to organize a district
publishers association in the Third
district with Cranston Williams, of
the Americas Times-Recorder, taking
the initiative.
The editors of the Seventh district,
led by T. S. Shope, of the Dalton Cit-
zen, are also planning a similar or
ganization.
And in the Ninth district Paul Har-
Der, of the Commerce Observer, has
interested his associates in the idea.
The state press association will be
strengthened by these units and ev-
cry individual member of the district
organizations will receive a direct
personal benefit. Organization is the
keynote of the tonnes. 1t is the
worlds greatest engineer of efficiency.
And it is going to lift the weekly
press of Georgia eventually to the
highest plane of business standing that
it has ever enjoyed
When the state association meets at
Thomasville next July, every district
in Georgia should report a successful
community organization.

OFFICIALS SAY ALL
SECURITIES SAFE
(From The New WORLDLY

Some of our readers want to know
if their accounts and securities woul'
be subject to seizure in the event o
war. There is no occasion to worr.
about this, as the State Department
has issued with the approval of Presi
dent Wilson formal statement giving
assurance that the Government has az
intention of selling bank deposits OF
other property belonging to any for
eign subject-even in the event o
war.
The statement follows:
1T having been reported to
him that there is anxiety in some
quarters on the part of persons re-
siding in this country who are the
subjects OF foreign states lest their
bank deposits or other property
should be seized in the event of
war between the United States and
a foreign nation, the President au-
thorizes the statement that all such
fears are entirely unfounded.
The Government of the United
States will in no circumstances
take advantage of a state of war
to take possession of property to
which international understand
ings and the recognized laws of
the land give it no just claim or
title. 1t will scrupulously respect
all private rights alike of its own
citizens and the subjects of for
eign states"
This statement speaks for itself ant
is the best answer We can give oul
readers, Do not put confidence in
umor-mongers, who may seek tc
cause you to become needlessly wor-
ried about the safety of your pos
sessions.

TWO AS A MAJORITY.

Of late the people have become more
aroused as to what is going on in
Washington than at any other time
possibly in the history of the country
The many issues of far and fatal con-
sequence absorb the attention of the
average person who sometime ago
did not care whether an Atlantic liner
was painted red. or burned lights at
night
The Albany Herald in a very dignt-
fled editorial refers to recent incl
dent in Georgia and it contemplates
the fact of when two senators become
the whole United States senate. Spec
ifcally, it is provoked by the attitude
Of the two Georgia senators on the
judgeship question and their unalter-
able opposition to Congressman Frank
Park. The Times Recorder has fire.
quently taken occasion to refer to
Senatorial courtesy" and its out
ra geous practices. There was the
Rublee appointment of President Will
son, which was stopped by the person
al objection of Senator Gallinger,
Republican senator-but he had the
whole-hearted support Of many DEM
ocrats. There was the incident OF
Senator Hardwick's objection to a
Georgia postmaster, a newspaper man
too, because he was opposed to
the sedate and honorable Hardwick.
Now, Smith and Hardwick join hands
to stop Park who it seems had the sup
port of all official Washington.
The Times Recorder has expressed
itself on many occasions as to the
judgeship. The appointment of Judge
2. A. Littlejohn is the logical direction
TO give the matter. Should Judge Lit
tlejohns endorsement not satisfy
Washington, and the two senator's, it
will not change cur views.
BY this time events in Georgia
should have impressed themselves on
her two senators that they were not
given authority by the people to run
the affairs as they personally chose,
and the divine radiance which they
have assumed comes from other sourc-
es than the usual flow of grace. The
personal likes and dislikes of Senator
Hardwick disfranchise majority of
the state, while Senator Smith does
not possess the all-powering influence
which he held in the days of 1906.
Georgia has two of the biggest SEN
ators in the entire forum when it
comes to objection and hindering the
desires of all who oppose them; but
in terms of greatness they fail to quail
ify under the unmistakable measure
ments of senator's, much less states
men.

WESTINGHOUSE BIRTHDAY TO
BE GREAT EVENT IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 21.-Washlng-
tons birthday is going to assume a
patriotic Importance in Atlanta this
year which it has never known before,
on account of the break in diplomatic
relations with Germany and the posi-
bIlity that the spirit of &c may after
more than 100 years be called upon
again for deeds as well as words.
Practically all the schools will
hold celebrations, and many fraternal
and other organizations will do like"
wise. In all of them patriotism and
preparedness will be stressed as never
before.
In this connection the speech of an
Atlanta high school boy of last year
is remembered. He was of the baShful
variety but intensely patriotic. He
marched to the center of the platform
with flushed face. and began his
speech.
George washington is -, ano
there he suffered and stopped, over

Three times he started and finally
got the first sentence out, George

rFE DREAMS OF CITY MAN
Raising Spuds at One Dollar a Bushel
Certainly Looks Good to Us,
BY Heckl

When I am old and bent and worn,
with hair all gray and pants all torn,
and town has grown too swift for me,
and in my backs miseree, I'll take
my bundle meath my arm and go and
settle on farm, and In the spring
and In the mud each square foot
VIII plant spud, then with nice
self-starting hoe I'll coax the lowly
spud TO grow, as spuds were never
coaxed before, and they shall twine
about my door, and shall drink up
the morning dew, and shade the wind
ing avenue that sort of turns and
twists and crawls to get to my an
cestral halls.
And paris green by pecks I'll lug
to put on each pertater bug. I'll keep
the weeds out of the rows. and when
hot wind comes and blows I'll
sprinkle each one from can and sit
beside it with fan until the danger
has gone by; will not let 1t wilt and
die.
And when dead leaves are earth
ward tossed and when norther
threatens frost I'll get cute little
union suits to put upon the spuddish
beauts. shall know each last spud
by name and pet each one and make
1t tame; so that when autumn comes
apace I'll go and open up my face
beside the bars and call each spud by
name. and 1t shall leave the mud, and
leave the vine, and leave the tree.
when my call comes, and follow me.
And l shall hike away to town and
where the roads go winding down the
spuds shall follow me, and go where
hungry men rush to and fro in search
of spuds, and they shall pay plunk
peck for spuds that day, and shall
get wad of kale us big as any cotton
bnle. That's what I'll do when l am
old and when my blood is getting cold.

Thus We are astonished to find that
fashion has much longer history

These recent discoveries are the
more interesting because hitherto
amongst wealth Of wonderfully

human figure has been extremely rare
