TURNED TO LOOK AT SNAKE
AND CAR WENT DOWN BANK

Doerun, June 22.-Mrs. o. l.. Bush,
accompanied by her little niece and
nephew, Evelyn and William Henry
Smith, miraculously escaped severe in
jury today when the new Oldsmobole
owned by Mrs. Bush in which she
was driving, took an embankment and
crashed into a fence.
The party was returning from Moul-
trie, and Mrs. Bush turned for an in
stance to look at large snake cross
ing the road, when she evidently lost
control of the car. The car was con-
siderably damaged, the right front
wheel being totally wrecked and 9TH

THE BUSINESS
MANS BIT"
Andrew M. Soue, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.

The business man is, and has al
ways been, an important and construc-
tive factor in the life of the commun-
ity. Never before in the history Of
the South is he destined to play SO
/. essentially leading part, provided he
rises to the opportunity and discharges
the duties, responsibilities and obli-
cations resting upon him as citizen
and patriot.
First, he should take prominent
part in the solution of the situation
now confronting us; to insure the
farmer a market. He must also UNI
dertake the financing of diversified
production, since the change to diver
sification of crops means the purchase
Of new and varied implements, in
creased applications of fertilizers, and
credit for the purchase Of seeds and
machinery. Hitherto credit has been
based upon cotton production to the
exclusion of diversified crops. There
must be modification of rent notes
and rent contracts; not that the Gull
tivation of cotton should be eliminated
or unduly restricted, but that addition,
al channels of credit should be proyid-
ed and varied crop production pro-
NOTED and stimulated.
Second, it is the part of the business
man to provide the necessary, ma
chinery, such as feed mills, corn grind
ers and store-houses for the. presery-.
ing of potatoes and other perishable
crops. At present there is every ia
cility for warehousing cotton, but no
means for holding and marketing food
crops. Whenever business men will.
provide the proper facilities, diversi-
fication of crops will proceed by leaps
and bounds.
Third, the business man must per-
form the duty of food assembler. The.
problem of food distribution cannot. be
left to the individual farmer, since his
production of a certain crop is often SO
small as to preclude the possibility Of
marketing at profit On the other
hand, business men are able to as
semble the crops in small amounts
and provide for general distribution,
since they have the economy of large;
shipments. This work is patriotic and
should also be profitable. -

Summer Short
Courses In Agriculture

AS an outgrowth of the boys and
girls club work in Georgia, there has
been developed at the College of Agri-
culture special short courses for club
winners and for any others who care
to attend. Expenses. are very low and
a splendid opportunity is given the
boys and girls to gain specialized agri-
cultural knowledge. For the boys
there is instruction in soils and fertil-
izers, seed selection, rotation of crops,
growing live stock, dairying, farm ma
chinery, poultry, orchard management
and gardening; for the girls, instruc-
ton in home economics, cooking, sew
ing, canning, home gardening, home
sanitation and home nursing. The en-
rollment for 1916 was 267; this year it
should exceed 400. A circular descrip-
tive of the work may be had free upon
application to the College of Agricul-
ture.

LOCK JAW IN THE WAR.

In the early period of the Europe
al War, many cases of lockjaw or
tetanus developed in the wounded of
the allied armies. This very fatal dis
ease is caused by bacillus which is
often found in garden soil, street dust,
and in the earth in the vicinity of
stables. In order to cause tetanus,
the germ must lodge in a wound and
find suitable conditions for it's growth
Injuries in which clothing or foreign
matter is forced widely or deeply into
the tissues are the most dangerous be-
cause the tetanus germ can only flour
ish in places into which oxygen can
not penetrate, just as toadstools grow
best when sheltered from the sun.
as soon as the stress OF war condi-
tions permitted, all badly wounded
men were Immediately given injec-
tions of the serum against tetanus as
a routine procedure to prevent this
dreaded disease. The use of the anti
toxin caused a prompt reduction in
the number of cases and the control
OF tetanus in the armies can be Justly
cited as one of the ways in which
science is helping valor to win the
war.

WARM RACE PREDICTED !. 4 +.
SPEAKERS LEGISLATURE
Representative Holder and Representa-
tive cuIpepper Expecting to Win.
olive Strong in Senate.

Atlanta. June 22-Now that prohi-
bitfon has been disposed of by the en-
actnent of the, bone dry, law, which
is probably the most drastic statute
of its kind that was ever enacted, the
Georgia legislature conveying next
week will be forced to turn it's atterl-
ton to other subjects.
Just at present the principal inter-
est of members of the legislature is
centered around the race for speak
er of the house and president of the
senate, and already headquarters have
been opened in the Kimball House by
Representative John N Holder of Jack
son county, candidate for speaker,
with headquarters Of the other two
candidates soon to follow.
These are Representative Nath F.
Culpepper of .Meriwether county and
Representative w. Fl. Burwell of Han
cock county. Mr.. Burwell was speaker
of the last house and the one before,
and Mr. Holder was speaker of the
two houses Immediately preceding
For the last four years, however, Mr.
Holder has been out of the legislature,
and now comes back from Jackson
county as a candidate for return to
his former honors.
That the sentiment of majority of
the house is faforable to a change is
the prevailing opinion, and both Rep
resentative Holder, and Representative
Culpepper are counting on this SEN
timent to win. The supporters of Gull
pepper, who is conceded forty or more
Of the sixty five hold-over members,
are confident he will lead the ticket
on the first ballot, and they believe
this will insure his election. A ma
jority of the house are necessary to
elect.
In the senate the race for president
is between Samuel L. Olive of Angus
ia and Judge H. w. Hopkins of Thorn
asville. Both were MEMBERS of the
1856 house, and have now come
TO the senate from their respective
districts.

THE NEWSPAPER

Yes, the Newspaper il . commercial
institution. 1t is . business PROPOSE
tion conducted for profit. It manufac-
lures . product which it must dispose
Of at . greater price than it costs to
manufacture. II you want to look At
it that way, all right. It Is correct.
But bear in mind that the finished
product il something more than the
printed pages. As it appears it is
composed Of sheets Of paper covered
over with printers ink. But neither
the paper nor the ink il the newspaper
These characters which are stamped
upon the sheets represent the current
events Of the day, the editorial COM
ments and the advertising announce
ments. But these items Of news and
these editorial comments are not the
Newspaper. The Newspaper is some
thing over and above the paper and
the ink and the characters which the
news boy sells you.
Yes, the newspaper is a commercial
institution, and it is well that it is.
Its success depends, therefore, upon
its merits-upon what it does for the
reader and purchaser of it.
The prosperous newspaper is the one
most able to render the best service to
the community.
1t prospers because people have
faith in it.
A newspaper that is not successful
is a dangerous proposition. 1t it is
successful it cannot afford to be other
wise than fair and generous in its
dealings. It could not run the risks
of losing its prestige by selling its
editorial opinions, for instance. 1t
could not afford to advocate something
for the community in which it is print
ed that would be injurious to that COM
munity if it is making money in the
community. Only the paper that
doesn't pay can afford to take such
chances. Only the paper that isn't
prospering as commercial PROPOSE
tion is to be feared in a community.
So it is blessing that newspaper is
operated for profit and that it's profit
comes from its successful operation.
That insures that it is going to be op-
Grated for the benefit of its readers
a sort of reciprocal arrangement.
