LOOK AFTER THE RIVER.

Congressman Charles r. Crisp in
q last session of congress had pro-
sion inserted in the rivers and har-
bors bill calling for a preliminary ex-
animation of Flint river from Albany
TO Montezuma with a view of deter
N ned whether it could be made
vigable. Accordingly the govern
II mt has provided for hearing in
bany to be started at ten O'Clock
{ the morning of January 18th. Those
IN charge of the investigation will
want our best reasons for making the
animation of the river and they will
ant to know just what commerce
can be developed in case the govern
llcnt opens up the river to Montezu-
ma.
People who would like to see river
t'llfic on the Flint extended to Mon
yuma, as it existed in years agone,
II have to make good showing at
go Albany hearing, else there will
! ; no money spent even on the in
icstigation. If there are local business
IN who consider the movement
Y9rth while, let them get their hats
ild coats and be present.
We are just now vitality interested
il getting across the river with a
good bridge, if we really know the
reds of Cordele and Crisp county
EIt since the other matter is up, it
ght be well to go to Albany and
hClp impress it's importance on those
Who are to come for the government
and make the investigation.

CHILDREN'S TEETH

Out of 330,179 school children exam
med in the city of New York in 1914,
1914 ,207, or 5S.S per cent suffered from
defective teeth This exceeds the
sum total of all the other defects not
ed by nearly $4,000. Defective teeth
impair general health and impede
school progress. Disorders Of the di-
gestive tract, tuberculosis and various
other diseases frequently are pre-
coded by disease conditions dental de-
yelopment and mental development,
and it is absolutely essential to good
work in schools that children's teeth
be maintained in a healthy condition.
Let every child have a good tooth
brush and let its use be made part
of the daily training If this recon-
mendation is carried out the commun
ity will have more healthy children
this year than last and their chances
OF growing up into useful healthy
men and women will be increased.

Remember, Mr.. Farmer, local cot
ton oil mills have promised to handle
all the peanuts that can be offered
next fall. They usually are able to
offer what the market will permit and
there is no reason for tagging. Put
the peanut ON your schedule and raise
peanuts for the mills and for the
porkers. Raise them for the money
there is in it and let every farmer aim
at high yield. There will be a de-
mand.

THAT ANNUAL DINNER.

There is not doubt that the annual
dinner on the evening OF January %
will be made an event of pleasure and
entertainment, but no local business
man should presume that we are going
to this dinner for pleasure alone
for eating and drinking and hearing
good music. Nor will ii be made an
occasion for raising funds for this
or that scheme. The pleasures will be
made part of the program. but there
are things of far greater significance.
1t isn't going to be political affair.
1t isn't going to be a religious affair.
fI.et us not be called sacreligious for
saying so). 1t isn't going to be any
one mans affair 1t isn't going to be
any enterprise of the social set or a
local business faction. The grocers
have not secretly planned it. The
bankers have none of the inside infor-
nation. The furniture men, the candy
stores, the professional men, the drug
gists and the wholesale men, nor the
travelling men have no idea as to who
is responsible And our farmers are
not running it.
Since this is true, it is all the
more probable that it will be a repre-
sentative affair,-One in which real
business fellowship is possible. 1t
must be an affair in which every local
business enterprise is represented Ev
cry local business man must have
part, for the commercial advancement
to the, whole community is the thing
that will have first consideration. And
our farmers must be brought into it,
The annual dinner is planned for
the sole purpose of bringing very close
together all business and professional
interests so that there may be oppora-
tunity to impress the importance of
unity of purpose and to stress real
community fellowship of the kind new
er encouraged before.
''~ We must enlarge our own business
in every line. We must build our own
new enterprises. If outside capital be
interested, we should be ready to wei
come it, but we must make this an oc-
castor of telling each other that it is
the wisely directed local capital that
counts in the making of new mills and
factories. We want this dinner to be
such an inspiration to every local bus
mess man as will send him to his du-
ties with renewed determination to
reach out and grow stronger.

KINDS OF PEANUTS.

The growers around Enterprise,
Alabama, are putting forth a strong
argument for the runner peanut and
are saying now that they have had
better results with this type of pea
nut than with the Spanish variety.
The Enterprise Cotton Oil Company,
whose plant has been devoted exclu-
sively to the manufacture of peanut
oil this season has entered an extern
sive publicity effort to bring the farm
ers into growing the runner variety
of peanut. The principal claim is
that the runner is more easily grown
1t is flatly asserted that is is difficult
to grow the Spanish variety and the
yield of the runner is claimed to be
greater
If we knew the best variety of pea
nuts to be used in Crisp county for
yields, we would be quick to give our
farmers this information. 1t has been
argued here for months that the
White Spanish peanut is the kind to
undertake raising here But we must
remember that extensive peanut grow
ing has not been carried on as yet in
this SECTION and it is highly probable
that the efforts of the most progressive
local farmers must yet determine
which kind is best
Old horse sense and good common
judgment are the things upon which
to rely when we have nothing better
Science and education Guido the old
ways sometimes, and. since we have
not known much about the white

Spanish varieties, somebody will have
to try them in good faith before the
good yield can be- determined, .

One thing certain, all of us have
seen tremendous yield from the old
style runner variety of peanut when
the crop was given half showing.

to grow peanuts for the porkers to
eat and consequently none were gath
cred and measured for the purpose OF
the yield, but they were
there in great quantities. All of them
we're never eaten by the hogs, for they
came up the next spring as if they
