DOESN'T DESERVE 1T.

Says the Triton Gazette:
The Veazy law is to have a consti-
tutional test, an honor which it does
not deserve. The test comes from
Savannah, where the heads of St,
Vincent and st. Francis refused to ali
low a committee from the grand jury
to inspect their converts. We believe
the heads of these institutions made
mistake. They had nothing to con
ceal, and even just indignation
against abigoted and foolish law
should not provoke them from honor.

TICKS OR scnooLHousEs?

To fatten that ally-in-chief of the
Kaiser, the cattle tick, costs the state
of Georgia annually nearly three
times as much as the state pays for
the education of all her children in
all her public schools, and nearly
twice as much as the grand total rails
ed for educational purposes for col
legas, common schools and secondary
education in the State.
1t costs over $15,OOO,OOO year to
fatten the tick in Georgia.
State Superintendent Brittain's re-
port for 1916 shows grand total of
$685., 2S6.65 raised for the public
schools for that year, and only $9,O62,-
921 for colleges, common schools and
secondary work in the State.
Goorgia's annual toll to the cattle
tick, converted into educational eq-
uipment and opportunity for the boys
and girls of the State would provide
$500 for each of the 795, asa children
of school age in the stae and about
81 SOC for each of the 1884 school
houses.

HARD TO DECIDE

With most OF our farmers it is go
ing to be hard to decide as to what be
the most profitable crop the coming
year. So there is difficulty any way
we take it. We have one thing to
appreciate, though, and that is the
good fortune that has attended the
selling of what has been made on
the farms the past season.
We have made most tremendous
crops and have good prices for every
thing. 1t could never be better
Grain and provisions and food stuffs
have bought such prices as to make
this side of farming most attractive
and likewise has the prices of cotton
gone high-so high that it locks as
if cotton isgoing to be the dominating
crop another year.
Cotton is our crop, in spite of every
thing. 1t connot be denied, but a new
menace, the weevil is going to
cause distress the very first season
he has an opportunity There will
be a day for him and it will hurt,
but we can make cotton in spite of
tie weevil and we are going to
make tt every pound of it we can
make another year
Just now, we ought to see that more
grain goes into the ground for it is
going to be needed and badly. Prices
are not going to be much higher
but we have safe guarantee thai
they will be needed, wheat, to pay
tremendous profits for our efforts
More grain will be needed, wheat
oats and rye and we are the peopl,
who viii need it. We must MAKE
cur own flour and it win not b,
made unless we plant the grain now
The cotton ard the corn of tn,
coming year is going to depend
largely on our efforts We have
worked as never before during tn,
past few months. Our work is neve
to stop now. The crops should be al
large as it is possible to make-ev
erything we can make.

GIRLS, EAT LESS CANDY.

Says the Triton Gazette:
In Westoyer, Conn, school girls. are
helping to win the war by pledging
themselves to eat no candy during the
school next year. A large part of
the sugar crop goes into candy; by re
stricting its use as a luxury, more
will be left for the necessities Of life,
1t is not much to ask a girl or a boy
to do without candy that a starving
Belgian, Polish or Servian child may
have food to eat.

CRISP COUNTY HOGS.

The Dispatch wants to impress if
possible on every farmer reader the
great importance of raising every hog
possible during the coming year in
this county. Our farmers and stock
raisers should work night and day
all the time for the largest possible
increase in meat production Il can
never be too large and the way is
open to wealth unlimited.
The meats and fats that must come
from increased hog raising in our
midst cannot be estimated We must
produce twice as many big fat hogs
this fall and winter as we did last
and next fall and winter our this
years supply must be doubled. Can
we do it? No man who walks out in
to the open and listens at the world
calling can fail to know that the de-
mand for meats and fats was never
SO great.
Under normal conditions this would
net be true, but this country is trying
to supply that which Europe hasn't
now in her houses and it must come

and of daughter who was so much
in the confidence and sympathy Of Ger
many that she was betrothed to Ger
man army officer-until she was bru-
tally murdered by one of his fellow
officers.
Of supreme interest," to govern
ments, officially, as well as to private
readers-is her confirmation of the re-
cent statement that the German gov
eminent was privy to the Austrian ul-
timatum to Serbia in advance of its
transmission. The things said to her
by her betrothed, and repeated by her
in her letters to her mother, leave
room for little doubt that that ulti-
matum was fully known at Berlin in
advance, and was probably dictated
there, and that it was drafted with the
deliberate purpose of causing a pretext
for war if Serbia would not abdicate
her independence and become an Aus
trian satrapy More, there is 2 certain
fearful suggestion of the truth of the
hideous story, openly given in another
accent book, that the crime of Sarajevo
,kas deliberately instigated from Ber-
IN. The circumstances of the writing
of these letters invest these intima-
tons with peculiar force, which will
appeal to statesmen and diplomats, as
well as TO every reader of these in
tensely vital human documents"

Novel Views of Mexico

THE MEXICAN PROBLEM BY C, W.
Barron, with a preface by Talcott VIII
Jams illustrated. l2mo, PIP. xvii. 1877.
Houghton Mslin Company.
Mr.. Barron's point of view is that
of the practical business man, and
from Il he perceives the condition and
the problems of Mexico very differ
emily from many other writers. Thus
he dismisses as pernicious fallacies
the ideas that Mexican troubles have
been fomentea by rival American bust
ness interests and that the land ques-
ton is the chief factor in the Next
can problem. He insists that the fight
ing has been between the ms and the
Outs, between families and clans, be-
tween political factions. All that Is
needed, he thinks, is the giving of a
strong and benevolent helping hand to
the childike. trustful, dependent Mex
lean; then all will be well.
These, as we have said, are novel
views; particularly that respecting the
negligible character of the agrarian
problem; and they will certainly be
sharply challenged in many quarters.
Yet Mr.. Barron puts them forward
with entire confidence, and he backs
them up with facts and figures and
arguments proceeding from ample
personal knowledge of the subject.
Whether one agrees with il or not,
the book is one 10 he seriously reck-
oned with in all further considerations
Of the Mexican problem.
