Crop prospects still continue very

cation that this section will produce
a banner crop. Breaking in this
neighborhood for seeding this spring
is nearly done, and all grain that
has been planted is coming up in
fine shape. The government will
keep on breaking all summer, and
some flax will be planted yet by in
dividual Indians, but the main idea
is to have the ground ready for next
year.

No higher compliment could be
paid to the citizenship Of Sioux
county than that expressed Tues
day to the Pioneer by District Judge
Hanley. At the regular term of
court on that date there were no
cases coming up for consideration,
civil or criminal. The Judge said:
Sioux county must have some
pretty good people composing it's
citizenship. Since the county was
organized there has been only one
term of court at which any cases of
any importance have come before
me. and at two terms there has
been no matters outside of citizen
ship applications requiring my at
tention."

Registers have been appointed in all
the precincts, and everything is in
readiness for the registration.

Woman's Part in The War.

Editor of The Dawson News: Now that
wars and rumors of wars with their dis
quieting messages are sweeping over the
country much is being said about woman s
part in meeting the crisis impending
To my mind there can be no higher type
of patriotism for our women of Terrell
county than to keep themselves we'll in
hand to meet the everyday duties calmly
and faithfully. In no other way can we so
well show forth the spirit of our Revolu-
tionary ancestors and the sublime heroism
of our mothers of the sixties-hysterica
women making frantic efforts to keep
themselves in the limelight have never been
of real service to their country in war or
peace Not many of us will be called to
the firing line, for the government has need
of only the best trained workers in the hos
pitfalls and army camps, but every woman
IN America can be just as truly patriotic
by taking up the task that lies nearest and
consecrating to it the highest and noblest
womanhood.
His Majesty King George of England, has
said "The foundations of national glory are
laid in the homes of the people" In my
opinion the humblest mother in Terrell
county walking bravely and hopefully
through the manifold duties necessary to the
making of a peaceful, happy home, patient
ly inspiring her children with high ideals
and noble purposes, is doing higher service
for her country than Clara Barton, great
as she was in national crises, ever accom-
plished on the battlefield.
The Buffalo Express recently carried a
striking cartoon, when the Light Goes
Out" 1t pictured the neutral nations
standing in the darkness of Europe looking
out across the sea to Liberty's land holding

things. Until January of 1868 he had never
been known to attend stewards" meeting,
but coming to fathers that night he said .
Bob, | want to go with you and see if INV
idea of caring for the pastor is not the best. y
He stated that night that he had felt it a
duty as the man who owned most property
to say that the measure of the money allotted
by the discipline to the pastor and his family
was not sufficient, and proposed that each
man owning slaves give so much meat, so
much flour, so much meal, rice and salt.
and so many yards of the several kinds of
cloth made on the farms as well as cotton
and wooden thread for knitting socks. each
in proportion to the number of hands owned
and worked and that at the deprecated
value of Confederate money. That was the
only feasible plan for making the preacher
and his family comfortable shoemaker
present, a nOn-slavehoder, said he would
amend by adding that his kind would fur
nlsh hides, leather and shoes. The plan was
adopted not only in Cuthbert, but through
out this section of Georgia. Hearing of the
Methodist plan, Thomas Muse, a preacher in
the Baptist church, urged the Bethel Asso
citation to recommend it, and to John Har-
ris, Shareholder, and John Bragan, shoe
maker, the preachers of these two demon
nations were indebted for comfortable liv
ings for 1863-64-65. Now the town preach

THE JUDGE HAS A KEEN EAR.

From the Savannah Press.
Equal suffrage-vOtes for women-is
making progress in Georgia. The people in
the country are having it brought to their
attention. The time will not be long in com
ing when the question of letting women
have the ballot will be agitated in all sec
tons of the state. A sign of the times is
the fact that the superior court judges in
the country are beginning to take notice of
the equal suffrage proposition.
The superior court Judge in Georgia is
human, just as superior court judges every
where are. If Judge Worrill, with his ear
to the ground-and there all superior court
judges keep at least one ear-has caught in
the distance that rumbling sound which in
dicates that the people are beginning to
discuss the justice of letting the women
vote in Georgia it is sign the folks in the
small towns and at the crossroads stores
are talking it over. The judges charge is
but reflection of the thoughts and utter
ances of those with whom he has come in
contact.
We believe this is the first suggestion
we have had from the bench in Georgia
certainly the first suggestion from one of
the rural circuits-that the time for women
to vote is not far off. 1t is a sign that can
not be ignored 1t shows what the country
people are thinking about. Judge Worrill
has a keen ear.

'TWlXT DEVIL AND DEEP SEA

The present dilemma of Holland illustrates
how easy it is for neutral country to
be drawn into war when a determined bel
ligerent finds it to advantage to promote
such Development.
Holland has suffered serious interference
with her affairs from both sides during the
war, but is still committed firmly to the pol
icy of neutrality. Now the question arises
whether or not armed merchant ships shall
Iae admitted to Dutch ports as plain mer-
chant ships or barred as actual warships.
Holland, as is known, is within reach of
'Germany's mailed fist. If Germany insists
that Holland shall treat armed merchant
ships as warships Holland might deem it ex-
pedient to do so. In the fate of Belgium
Holland has had an object lesson of what
happens to small nation when it refuses
The demands of large nation that can throw
over its frontiers an army capable of over
z1helming it.
But suppose Holland tries to please Ger
many and declares that armed merchant
ships must keep out of her ports. Such a
knuckling down to Germany must be Of
Tenslve to England, just across the North
sea. Englands interests, as those of the
allies generally, require that merchant ships
shall be equipped to defy German U-boats
without losing their character as peaceful
vessels. England has navy which can
completely blockade the ports of Holland
should provocation for blockade be Of
Tered. Suppose that England insists that
merchant ships shall be barred from Dutch
ports because of defensive armament Hol-
land will then be between the devil and the
deep sea. She must choose whether she shall
1nvite the wrath of Germany on land or the
blight of British paralysis of Dutch com
rnerce on sea.
Either way Holland will find herself il
the war up to her neck.

The Prayer of a Man.
From an Exchange.

Teach me that sixty minutes make one
hour, sixteen ounces one pound, and one
hundred cents one dollar. Help me to live
so that l can lie down at night with clear
conscience, without gun under my pillow
and unhaunted by the faces of those to
whom l have brought pain.
Grant, | beseech Thee, that | NAV earn
my meal ticket on the square, and in do
ing thereof that | may not stick the gaff
where it does not belong. Deafen me to the
jingle of tainted money and the rustic of
unholy skirts.
Blind me to the faults of the other fell
low, but reveal to me mine own.
Guide me so that each night when look
across the dinner table at my wife who has
been blessing to me l will have nothing
to conceal.
Keep me young enough to laugh with
my children and to lose myself in play.
And when comes the smell of flowers
and the tread of soft steps and the crush
ing of the hearses wheels in the gravel in
front of my place make the ceremony short
and the epitaph simple:
Here Lies a Man"

GEORGIA MUST FEED HERsEL

! OEOt<ClA MOSI LED FERSELF.
The announcement that there will be a
shortage in the American wheat crop this
year, and also shortage in other crops,
brings home to the great agricultural in
terests of Southwest Georgia the necessity
for the adoption of methods for bringing
their production of food crops up to the
maximum.
The man who does not do this is derelict
in his duty to his country and himself.
He should realize that the future of the
nation depends in large measure on the
state of preparedness in which the agri-
cultural interests place themselves.
/ The Council of National Defense, which
is modelling the industrial resources of
the country, is also devoting much attention
to the agricultural resources. Food for the
millions who engage in industrial pursuits,
food for the army and food for those who
remain at home will be necessary. Georgia
annually imports millions of dollars of
foodstuffs from the West. Each community
knows what part of that large sum it is
responsible for. When transportation lines
are seriously disturbed, either by strikes or
war, when the country must turn it's atten-
ton to foreign foes, when disaster comes
dpon US, then is the time when we wish
for the old days of self-supporting agri-
culture. The war in Europe to-day is
mainly a contest for a supply of food. The
country without food and with an army at
its doors, or navy blockadng it's coast,
is practically conquered. Much can be said
in favor of cash crops, but if we raise
them and nothing else we are weak at
time when we need strength sorely and
strong at times when all goes we'll.
Here in Georgia, where we have grow
ing season practically all the year round,
and with an opportunity to harvest food
crops more days in the year than in any
other section of the country, what excuse
can we have for getting milk from Wiscon-
sin in tin cans, our gardens from Califor-
MIA and Maryland in tin cans; for having
our smokehouses in Chicago and Omaha,
our -four bins in Minneapolis, and our
graneries and hay mows in the Northwest
thousands of miles away?
Self-preservation has been said to be the |
first law of nature, and if so our first law
during the season of 1917 ought to be to
grow our own food, because that means
self-preservation. Safe farming means a.
system of farming which supports the
family on the farm, provides ample forage
and other feed for the livestock, and grows
some crops for cash sale upon the market
The one supreme problem this year in the
world is food, and it is of the utmost i'm
portance that enough food for the people |
of Georgia be produced in the state 1t is |
inevitable that war will bring distress upon
the people, and it is a time when every
man should set his affairs in order 1t can
not be too strongly emphasized that every
attention this year should be given to the
garden, the corn, the hay, the conservation
and breeding of poultry and hogs, mich
cows, beef cattle and other food products
In this is our greatest safety
Georgia must feed herself.

Hurtful Rumors.
From the Savannah Press.

We haven't heard gun fired in this war.
but we have listened to some 20-centimeter
tongues in action, and we have marveled
that the human brain could conceive of such
hurtful, idle rumors and untruthful reports
and send them down to the tongue to give
them utterance. Swat the 'Have-you-
heard" war rumor fend as you would the
summer fly that carries it's disease breeding
atoms upon its hind legs. Stife the thoughts
of the man who wants to tell you about
this man and that being "viewed with sus-
picion." Such things can do no good and
we believe they hurt many a good man.
There is enough that is true in this situa-
ton to cause us all to consider we'll be-
fore we begin to suggest as facts things
that we cannot substantiate Discourage the
rumor-monger. He is a menace to the peace
of his community.
