Mr.. John Guy, living near the Gala
han old mill, seven miles west of Macon,
was in town Tuesday and said his i'm
mediate section had at last d good
season" of rain-the first since the
early part of April. Mr.. Guy, as every
one knows who know him, is violently
opposed to scientifc-w what he calls
new tangled notions in farming, and is
very positive that the entire secret of
successful farming is good land, good
work, and proper seasons-just enough,
and not too much rain. AS evidence
that he is correct he says he has bought
but three sacks of corn since 1875, and
has never borrowed a nickel from
bank. There is one thing though, we
believe, he has changed his mind about,
and that is about the eradication of the
tick and the methods used. He was
violently opposed at first, but now
thinks it was one Of the best changes
ever made.

The Difference

Two men spoke from the Demo
cratic side Of the Senate Chamber
Saturday in a way to attract at
tention. The first was Mr.. Stone
of Missouri, who pcrsistently be
fore we entered the war was sym.
pathetic with Germany. 'Now
that we are in the war, he said,
"the only thing to do is to smash
the Kaiser and his government
"but we wouldn't be in this posi-
ton if our own Government had
acted wisely; we can make peace
now any day"
The second was John Sharp vii.
liams of Mississippi, who also
wanted to smash the Kaiser, "
without any "butS' or "ifs. " In
stead of the tbuts" and the ''ifs, "
he said:
The President travelled in the
whole gamut, up and down. He
allowed this Nation to suffer hu.
initiation after humiliation, shame
piled upon shame-grazed thevery
edge of cowardice-because his
heart beat in unison with the cause
of a just and lasting peace.
Which is the truth
There is all the difference be-
tween these two Senators on this
issue that there is between two
parties in Congress, known neither
as Democratic nor Republican, in
relation to war legislation.
The great Mississippi Senator
spoke with his face to the front
and his thought to the front, and
he is so acting on the food control
and all other vital war measures.
The Missouri Senator spoke with
his race to the front but with his
thought and his spirit barking
rearward, and he is so disposed to
act on the Food Control Bill,
which he virtually calls a measure
Of KaiSeriSm.
There are a number of men in
Congress like the Missouri Senator.
They are identifying themselves
from day to day by their obstruct-
i've courses on all measures calcu,
lated for a vigorous and effective
prosecution of the war. New York

when the fire occurred, Mrs, McCol-

man at the compress, was on duty.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
it had gained such Roadway when dis
covered that very little of the house
hold furniture and effects were saved,
The house was built before the war
and was occupied until shortly after
the war by a man named Massengale
Mr.. Haunstein purchasing the property
about 1870. Insurance to the amount
of $500 was carried on the household
furniture by Mr.. McCollum. 1t Is not

Our Loot Too Boot

We have gone into war in
which our avowed purpose is to
make democracy safer for the
world without thought of material
reward for ourselves, but two
great prizes will come to the Ameri.
can people as a result of the great
war. The first will be control of
the South American markets.
The next half century will be a
period of great agricultural and
industrial development in this
part of the world. And the South
American markets are ours to have
and to hold if we live up to our
great opportunity. The second
great prize is a closer commercial
relationship with Russia. Russia.
