SWEDISH EMIGRATION

STOCKHOLM, Sept Emigration

induced to settle down here. Many of
them bought farms, and work was

YOUTH TO THE FRONT!

Any review Of the work Of the Geor-
bia legislature this year would nee
essarily give prominence to the part
played by the younger element.
Time was when the legislature was
composd largely Of either
veterans of war or politics. But now
lit is true that the personnel of the
genera l assembly comprises chiefly
men who have had little experience in
practical politics and who are com
parasiyely young in years
OF course, the leaders-or men who
aspire to leadership, since there really
was no leader in either the Senate or
the house this year-are seasoned per
formers
However, a tremendous influence is
exercised by the new generation. Much
of the activity of the legislature is
attributable to their energy, ambition
and persistency Many Of the best
bills passed this year were devised by
them
Conspicuous among the young men
who have attained prestige and influ
ence in the House is Representative
Stephen Pace, of Sumter Indeed, it
is doubtful if there is any young, new
member who achieved more or occu-
pies a more enviable position. He made
tie best speech heard on the floor of
the House this session-his reply to
Rep. VIM, in support of the resolu-
ton to endorse President Wilson. He
was splendid committee worker. He
was always present He spoke seldom,
but always effectively, and he never
failed to have an audience. AS usual
thing. when a member rose to speak,
the other members made as much noise
as possible and gave him as little at
tention as they could. But they lis
tened to Steve Pace, and invariably
him.
Abe Conger, of cambridge was an
other Of the younger set who distin-
guished himself by showing a capacity
to think-to think while on his feet, as
well as in more deliberatiye moments.
There are few more clear-sighted mem
bers than Conges, none more aggress-
i've or possessing more legislative ca
pacity. John Wood, of Cherokee coun-
t., one of the young fellows, with a
gift for the old-fashioned style of
oratory, which tears the stars out of
the flag and makes the very eagle
scream in sympathy-he left his i'm

will The Next President Be a Soldier

Will The Next President Be Soldier!
The Albany Herald says: Will the
great war" give the United States a
president?
Will a military leader step from
the command Of successful armies
into the White House?
Will the glamour of military glory
appeal to a proud and grateful people
in 1920 more powerfully than any and
al, other considerations?
1t is interesting to consider that no
such former war of consequence in
which the United States has engaged
failed to present to the country a
man in uniform who became the ma
tons executive head.
Washington led the colonial troopa
to victory and became the first presi-
dent of the republic.
Andrew Jackson won military glory
lin the War of 1912 and became our
seventh president.
Zachary Taylor took the oath of Of
flee as twelfth president of the United
States in 1849. He would never have
been dreamed of for the highest Of

but for the military laurels won in the

Grant was graduate of West Point.
Soldering was his business and he was
not trained for craftsmanship, but a
grateful union elected him twice, in
1868 and in 1872.
1t was Theodore Roosevelts clank-
ing sabre, campaign hat and Rough
Rider fame that caused him to be plac-

the brief hostilities of the war with
Spain, and he served almost two full
presidential terms.

AMERICUS WINS.

The Waycross Journal-Herald says:
when Americas got Franc Mangum
she drew card that filled hand, in
THE words of the poker player.
Franc used to be the editorial writer
for the Macon News, but he got too
big to be just a part of newspaper,
So he bought the Swainsboro Forest
Blade in order that he might be the
whole works. For the past two years
Franc made the Forest-Blade, one Of
the brightest and best weekly papers
in the state, and found time on the
side to practice law, and fight school
professors, and other energetic citi-
zens who thought they knew more
about running the Blade than he did.
Swainsboro is a good little city, and
Emanuel county is mighty fine
county, but since the new county of
Treutlen is being sliced off of Eman
luel, Franc realizes that Emanuel coun-
ty will be entirely too small for him,
and that a weekly newspaper is out
ageously slow for fellow who
sleeps only four hours out of twenty
four, and does not care to take time
to eat but one meal per day-filling
i'll on good old butter-milk', so off
he goes looking for daily paper in
a city that has bath tubs and electric
lights. Taking everything into con-
sideTation Swainsboro did well to hold
Franc as long as it did 1t is mighty
hard for a person who has lived in
Macon to spend two years in town
where baths are taken by the light of
an oil lamp, the expert bather stand
ing in a wash bowl on one foot, but
Emanuel county has within its borders
/ the finest people in the world and
when man once gets with them, and
learns to know them it is hard to
break away.
Franc looked Georgia over and
found so many good cities that he was
puzzled about a location, so he put
the names of four cities in hat, shook
them up, and picked one out, and thus
Americas won.
Good newspapers build cities and de-
velop the country, and Franc Man
gum publishes just that kind of a
paper. The people Of Americas will
frd in Mangum's paper a clean-cut,
ihi2h-toned, newsy newspaper, stand
ing for everything that is right and
progressive. Franc goes to Americas
