MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day win have unusual sig
nificance this year. for the gallant
boys who responded to the call OF
Abraham Lincoln and went forth and
saved the Union placed the United
States In position to save ciyiliza-
ton itself little over half century
later. The survivors of the historic
hosts who followed Old Glory from
1861 to 1865 must derive an immense
amount Of satisfaction when they re-
member their sacrifices and the
thought occurs to them that the whole
fabric Of our national greatness is
built upon foundations cemented with
their blood. Many of these grizzled
veterans, with full knowledge OF what
war means, would no doubt prefer to
close their eyes upon world at
peace. Yet they would not have it so
at the price OF our national honor
and their hearts will swell with pride
as they watch their grandsons march
away to defend the flag which they
all love so well. These youths will
be the Grand Army men cf the fu-
ture. and the old veterans will be
thrilled by the thought that when they
lie down to their eternal rest their
places In love. honor and respect OF
their fellow citizens win be taken by
those who have followed in their foot
steps and placed their all upon the
altar OF their countryside Lake Tri-
bune.

VIRGINIA CITY AGAIN
In THE LIME LIGHT

It looks as though old Virginia
City has come back and that she will
reflect her old glory. The Comstock
lode is heard from again and the
pulse OF many an old pioneer will
quicken when he hears that another
big strike has been made; strike
which promises to make the old town
hum and hustle again as it did forty
years ago when 1t was the greatest
mining camp on earth.
There was never but one Comstock,
and there will probably never be an.
other. MiIlionaires were made in a
night, and the talent of the world was
there assembled. Stocks went from
% cents to three hundred dollars a
share, and the output of gold and sill
yer is estimated at something over
seven hundred million. Four hundred
miles OF underground work has beer
done, and IL required enough wood fol
timbering to. build large city. The
Comstock saved the nations credit
during the Civil war. Is 1t destined t.
play a mighty part again in the wal
with Germany?

GOODBYE-HOWDY

Rev. T. B. Stanford and family left yes
terday for their new home. When the an
nouncement was received in Dawson that
this beloved man of God, who had served
the Methodist church here only one year,
had been read out for Cordele it was DIS
tinct shock from which the community has
yet hardly rallied. To express what is felt
in terms of regret is too mild to convey any
idea of the real sentiment of the town over
the loss of their preacher
And that is saying nothing against Rev.
7. H. Thomson, the new pastor, who comes
to US from Saint Paul, Columbus. He is one
of the best in the conference, greatly be-
loved wherever he has labored, and he and
his family will receive just as sincere and
warm a welcome as the regret is deep over
the departure of his predecessor.
1t is gratifying to every one that Rev. o.
B. Chester was returned to the work of this
district as presiding elder, which, under his
administration, has been successfully car
ried forward along all lines of church activ-
tiles

HOW YOU CAN HELP.

Carry on in the kitchen the food-saving
propaganda. 1t is the one thing you can do.
Most of US can't go over and help Russia
brace up to stand continued shocks of the
war. Most of US cannot go to help italy
on her frontier withstand German assaults.
Most Of US can't mine the coal, and iron,
and make the munitions.
But everybody eats, and everybody can
help win the war by so ordering the nations
diet that the foods which can be used by
our troops and by our allies shall not be con-
sumed, and that the victualling of the armies
will go forward without hindrance
Of food there should be no lack in this
land Of abundance, where it needs but slight
readjustment of our bills of fare to release
vast quantities of unperishable food for the
soldiers. They are doing the work many of
us can't do; they are enduring the hardships
and risking their lives; and the least we can
do is to feed them
And it involves no limiting of diet at
home-merely a diet adjusted to war needs.

Highway of Salt.

This country will have one of the most Gu
rious highways in the world-a road paved
with salt requiring no upkeep-if the plans
of (. R. Morgan, state road engineer of
Utah, proves feasible. The scheme affects
what is known as the Wendover cutoff, a
4O-mile highway running west from Salt
Lake to the Nevada line
Peculiar conditions exist along this road.
The land is as fiat as billiard table This
iatness is due to its having been an old
lake bed of the Great Salt lake At one
point along the road, known as Salt Beds,
the salt is several feet deep and a veritable
pavement. At that point no road-making is
required. But for some 20 miles the land is
a mud fiat.
Shovels to throw up a grade for road deep
trenches were left alongside the road route,
A trip of inspection shows that nature filed
these holes with heavy salt water, that the
water evaporated and left the earth cavities
level-hrimful of salt as hard as the salt
beds themselves.
"All we will have to do is to lay 2x12
boards as far apart os we wish the road to
be wide These can be made almost water
tight. Then the heavy salt water can be
pumped into this road bed and renewed as
rapidly as it evaporates or leaks out. Ma
ture will do the rest. Within a year we will
have a highway of salt as smooth and dur
able as the best of paving" Engineer Nor
gan says.
This road the Wendover cutoff, is the
one that enthusiasts urged adopted as Off
cially part of the Lincoln highway around
Salt Lake.

A Working Governor.
From the Savannah Press.

Savannah feels very highly honored today
at the presence of Hon. Hugh Dorsey, the
governor of Georgia. This is the first visit
this distinguished Georgian has paid Savan-
nah since his election.
Hugh Dorsey has been governor of the
state long enough for some of the 'wise
ones" to rather size him up and he has meas
ured up to the expectations of all classes of
Georgians if we are to believe what we
hear the people say of him. He seems to
stick rather close to the task of looking af-
ter the affairs of the state.
He is neither prone to visiting or to
speech-making. This is one of the few trips
to other points he has made since he was in
augurated last June in Atlanta He appar-
emily does not court the limelight, and he
seems to be very guarded and very careful
in dealing with the intricate affairs of a
great state. These are features that are
commendable.
He is one of the youngest governors the
state has had in many years, but he does
not care to pose as a boy wonder The peo-
pie selected him in a campaign in which he
was the youngest of the candidates, and he
has repaid their confidence by a very strict
attention to the duties he assumed when he
took his oath of office.

Justices of The Peace.
From the Fort Gaines Georgian.

Last weeks Cuthbert Leader said that
Judge William C: Worrills charge to the
Randolph county grand jury covered the
usual lines and while not long was explicit.
He told the jury that he had been told that
gambling was going on at Cuthbert; that
the gamblers met as regularly on Sundays
as prayer meetings on Wednesday night and
church on Sunday, and advised that the mat
ter be investigated He stated that crime
in this section seemed to be on the decrease,
that there was plenty of work at good pay
and people generally were employed He
believed the new prohibition law to be part
ly responsible for improved conditions. In
referring to the justices of the peace he de-
clared that their office was not one to be
belittled; that they occupy position of re-
spOnsibility and often is the most useful man
in the community"
The Southwest Georgian thinks Judge
WorrilPs reference to the office of justice of
the peace is accurate and we'll placed These
militia-district magistrates are only very
rarely more than trifiingly renumerative,
but when held by conscientious, levelhead-
ed men the Office becomes rich in potential
ties for good. On the deplorable other hand
however, rattle-brained, meddling magis-
trate can be much of mischief maker.

The English Language
Is of German Origin.

The English language is not native to
Engiand-strange to say 1t was carried
there by the fierce German warriors who
conquered that land in the fifth and sixth
centuries. It's nearest cousins today are to
be found in the rude dialects of the islands
along the German coast.
When our Anglo-Saxon ancestors first
came to plumber and to ravage Britain they
found a people more advanced in the arts
and sciences than themselves. For the Celts
OF England had inherited the Roman civiliza-
ton of an earlier day. 1t is curious to think
that if the old Teutons had never invaded
England we would now be speaking a lam
guage similar to French, Spanish or Italian,
of Latin derivation. The Anglo-Saxon or
old English language belongs to the Teu-
tonic speech.
The latter has several principal branches
such as the Scandinavian, from which come
the Danish and Swedish tongues; the high
German or language German literature: and
the low German, which is divided into Fris
ian. Dutch and Flemish Our own Enolisb
Is the nearest related to this last group. Rut
all the Teutonic languages are only one
branch of a large racial family, known as
the Aryan or Indo-Fiuropean. This reaches
from India to treland-and connects Patr;ck
with the Parsee. Sanskrit, Persian Greek
Latin. Celtic and Teutonic are thus an re-,
lated tongues.

HAIL, THE LowLY GooBER!

From the Dallas (Texas) News.
Peanut butter is as staunch as meat in
the workingman's dinner pail. A peanut but
ter sandwich beats ham sandwich both in
palatability and tissue-building power-un-
less the butter is very thin and the ham very
thick. And who ever saw thick ham in a
sandwich? The peanut has become great
food product There is a heavy demand for
it. Farmers with lands and climate adapted
to peanuts can make large profits from
growing the same. Food crops will con-
tinue to bring high prices after clothing
crops shall have decreased in value The
future was never so promising for the farm
er, the outlook never so auspicious If the
last decade was the town mans, the next
will be the country mans. 1t is so.

SIXTEEN PAG ES

They are enthusiastic reports that are
telegraphed hither from Italy, telling about
the morale of the Italian army and how all
the people stand behind the army, but new
ertheless there seems reason to doubt the
verify of those accounts just the same as
the ones that came from Russia. The pres
ent situation, so far as it can be estimated,
seems to show steady advance in Italy by
the TeutOnic forces, and probability of re-
suits that may render Italy of negligible val
ue in opposition to the German plans. The
conclusion is inevitable that other influences
than mere lack of men and ammunition have
been at work in Italy.

TWO GREAT OPPORTUNITIES.

We people of Terrell county are being
called every day, every hour to play our part
in shouldering the burdens of war, which
grow heavier and heavier as time passes.
There are two God-given opportunities for
doing something worthwhile in this COM
munity-the Red Cross work and the Y. M.
C. A. In time like this the cardinal viz
tue is loyalty to the recognized agencies of
the government at work for the relief of
humanity wherever the need is found.
This will mean the giving up of private
plans and pet ambitions Sacrifice less than
this shows lack of loyalty to America. and
If we are not loyal to our country we can
not be loyal to humanity, though we should
give all our goods to feed the poor" Quot
ing from the Vigilantes "our only chance
of doing the big worthwhile service is to
associate ourselves with our fellowmen."
The Red Cross and the Y. NJ. C. A. are a
part of the national life, and
National life is a partnership in
which men invest their treasures and
lives in common fund He who ac-
cepts citizenship in a democratic state
pledges himself to play the game when
the game is on. He has his chance to
shape the rules, and to determine the
stake. But when the preliminaries are
over and the action has begun, his fell
lows have right to depend upon him.
If ne holds back now he is false to
those who have gone forward in good
faith; he lacks that honorable fidelity by
which alone men may be united in bold
action and grave peril"
