THE DESIRE TO "BEAT."

The over-zealousness of some Ameri-
Can newspapers in attempting to print
ell of the facts regarding America S
preparations in this tense moment Of
international discussion should cause
"a severe reprimand by the conserva-
tive and really American newspapers.
Certain admirable features of defense
which have their technical values to
the goyernment are not for the gen.
eral public, and newspapers should be
careful in their discussions and hur-
ried news dispatches. OF course, the
navy department cancelled the publica-
ton of the movements of American
war vessels, still some newspapers de-
sired to let the people know where
these ships were stationed regardless
o. the cloak thrown over the maneuv-
ers by official Washington. The fact
of the hurried completion of battle
ship should not become the property
o. an unfriendly nation. and there is
no necessity for having to feed the
public's mind in order to secure them
in their calmness of peace.
One naval commandant in the New
England district has issued an appeal
to the press of that section, which is
timely and appropriate Captain Russ
writes: The public's right to news
from its newspapers is clearly recog-
nized by every one, but the public
cannot properly insist upon having
news through the public press that
might ieOpardize its own interests BY
furnishing information to the enemy. IS

BANKS in SOUTHERN STATES
SHOW REMARKABLE GROWTH

State banks and trust companies ia
the thirteen Southern. states showed
a growth of over $300,000.00O in 1916.
In addition to that, the national banks.
as previously reported. grew with
equal or greater rapidity, showing an
increase for the year in the resources
of all banks in excess of 100000, 900
for the thirteen states, says the Sou
thern Banker for February.
The deposits of state banks in the
thirteen Southern states for 1916 in
creased 1901 ,807146, and total re-
sources increased $307,O74,302. Dur
irg the same period the capital in
vested in state banks increased only
1,300,457, and the net increase in
the number of state banks was only
thirty. This represents the difference
between 1873 new banks that began
business in the states under review,
and 108 which quit business, including
failures, voluntary liquidations, con-
solicitations and conversions to ma
t:onal banks.
AS in the case of national banks, the
rapid growth was mainly in the item
OF deposits. as comparatively few
hanks were organized and the proper
ton of banks going out of business
was relatively very large. This was
due to low money rates and to the
shrinkage ,of earnings from eX-
change, which the weaker institutions
we're unable to withstand. 1t is &C
cordingly evident that the enormous
increase in the banking resources OF
tie South is represented by the sur
viyal of the fttest" and that the
South's position in banking is the
staunchest ever occupied in its en-
tire history.

THE PENSION FUND.

Sumter county veterans of the war
Between the States will not be depriv-
ed their pensions, awaiting the action
OF the general assembly, as will many
heroes of the SOS. 1t is announced
that q half million dollars of the first
pension money is ready to be sent to
lightweight ordinaries in Georgia.
Every veteran in Georgia should re-
ceiye his pension about the same time,
and there can be no excuse for delays
occasioned by neglect of the legisla-
ture. The uncertain payment of this
fund seems to almost begrudge the
veterans. With all of Georgia's wealth
and her boosted bulwark of financial
strength as for the state government,
there is little excuse for the eternal
delay experienced in the handling of
the state funds.
If cities. counties and states had to
maintain an integrity as individuals,
there would be a general petition for
bankruptcy among some of our gov
ernmental institutions.
The Confederate veterans should re-
ceive the same attention in the deliber-
atoms of the general ASSEMBLY, and
among the officials as they do wnen
their suffrage is requested by the can
didates who want the jobs.

NO COMPROMISE FOR LIGHT
AND POWER AT SAVANNAH

SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 19.-State-
nents by representatives of the Savan-
nah Electric Company and the Savan'
nah Lighting Company upon their re-
turn from Atlanta indicate that there
is little likelihood on a compromise be-
ing reached on light and power rates.
This means that the rate cutting
var between the companies will con-
tinue unless the railroad commission
decides to fix uniform compensatory
rate to govern each company.
The officials of the companies anG
their attorneys have just returned
from Atlanta where the state railroad
commission has been hearing charges

jelly.

Jelly is nervous. excitable food that
falls all over itself whenever it tries
to 90 anywhere without it's glass.
It's all right as long as it sits still
aid keeps its lid on, but the minute
you turn it loose in a dish it goes
limp and wobbly. Nine times out OF
ten it will collapse and cut it's own
head off on the edge of the bowl.
But jelly's all right, if you under
stand it. It's just without backbone;
and it has its limitations.
Jelly has to be managed. 1t is
weak and timid. Don't make it ride
on your knife. 1t will wreck itself,
sure. And you can't do thing with
wrecked jelly. Not thing.
Put your jelly aboard a spoon where
it can lie down and be comfortable and
it will go anywhere.

PENNY WISE, MAYBE.

ence should plainly point the way for
Augusta.
The Augusta Chronicle of Sunday
ca lied news story which is clearly
outlined in the heading Wave
of Disorder in Wake of Reduction in
Police Force" The intimation was
carried in the story that the "unruly
element" of Augusta took advantage
Of the suspension of two dozen police
men to make merry, and thereby the
busiest Saturday night of sometime in
Augusta police circles was experienced
Economy may have been the prime
motive for the discharges, but can it
be saving to a city to forego its
protection for the sake of few dol
lars?
The effects of penny wise and
pound foolish are known in business
circles. and the same rule of reason
can apply in the government of city
although it is to be regretted that
few cities are conducted on the careful
plans of the private business. The re-
duction in the police force of Augusta
can be said to be as bad as having
too many of the blue-buttoned senti-
nels, which is very rare.

LAWNS NOW POTATO FIELDS
velsety Parks of the Show Places of
France Transformed to Meet
Economic Crisis.

The rare American tourists who visit
the chateau of Touraine in France
may find the yelvety parks of the
most interesting show places trans
formed into potato patches.
Aristocracy has taken up the ''tuber
campaign" and, beginning with the
Countess of Noailles and the Duchess
Dues chatelaines all over the coun-
try have promised to dig up their
lawns and plant vegetables. Flower
gardens, also, will be consecrated TO
the solution of the economic crisis.
The rose, the vine and the orchard
are not to be touched, but all annual
flowers and all green swards must
give way to the democratic potato, in
the interest of the national defense.
Since there is not enough labor for
the farm lands already under cult
walton, the temporary release from the
army of greater number of farmers
and the importation of more Indo-Chi-
nese and North African labor is ex-
pected to count more effectively in
solving the agricultural problem than
the efforts TO transform the chateau
parks into vegetable gardens.
