WORK FOR THE. WEARY.

The Maryland legislature recently enact
ed law which provides that every abie-bod-
led citizen between the ages of 81 and so
must have employment or else contribute in
voluntary assistance to the state in the build
ing and maintenance of it's highways The
enforcement of this law has resulted in thou
sands of men being put to work, they hav-
ing been unable to show 'visible means of
support" Many of these men possess prop
erty, large incomes and leisure yet have
obeyed the law because evidently weary of
idleness.
Maryland's law is designed not only to
solve the question of unemployment, but ia
secure labor which the state badly needs
Inc law but partially supplies the deficiency
OF labor, therefore other laws relating to
vagrancy are being enforced more vigorous
than ever before, with the result that the
rlch man and the tramp are frequently
round breaking stone and shoveling grave
IN the same squad. This association MAY
not be disadvantageous to both of them.

The Goober and the Peanut.
From the Triton Gazette.

Says The Dawson News: The Cordele
Dispatch wonders if we know the differ
ence between a gOOber and a peanut
Why certainly, esteemed brother And
do you know that the peanut and the
goober are different varieties of the
groundpea, and there's really no differ
ence IN the appearance, shape and taste
OF the nuts. In all essentials they are
the same"
1t really hurts our tender heart to show
up two beloved friends like Editors Charlie
Brown and Glenn Rainey, but in the inter
est of truth we are constrained to speak.
These boys are city farmers; they have been
raised IN town round a newspaper office, and
have given the real farmers advice for so
many years that they think they know all
about the business but breaks like this give
them away so plain.
The peanut is not a goober, nor is it the
COOLERS first cousin or maiden aunt or
maternal grandmother, but it isn't goober,
although it is often miscalled So The real
goober grows one in a pod instead of two,
three or more, as the peanut, and these
cluster at the root or the vine, very much
like the little Spanish peanut. The goober
is shaped like an English pea but about four
times as large. It is not considered edible
by two-legged animals, but makes splendid
hog feed. A good many years ago it was
planted extensively through this section
when people gave more attention to hog
raising than they have in recent years We
would be glad to see it come back, for it
would fill useful purpose in these days of
diversified agriculture
The peanut may properly be called a pin
dar or groundpea, but it is in no sense a
goober. We hate to do. Charlie and Glen
TINS way, but they ought to stay within
their limitations.

WELL, DON'T YOU KNOW?

From the Dalton Citizen
The esteemed Dawson News has expressed
our sentiments Why prohibition hot air

the agitators doing the state now are from
wet" states. Why don't they "dry" them
up? Under both state and federal laws the
wet states can ship nothing to drink into

The Atlanta Constitution has attained the
age of fifty years, and celebrated that note
worthy event by printing jubilee edition
that contained much valuable historical mat
ter, review of Georgia's growth and pros
perity and prophecy of it's continued de-
velopment. The Constitution is an asset of
Georgia and the South that has been of
great value to them, and The News wishes
for it many more years of usefulness. For
more than thirty years Editor Clark Howell
has been with the Constitution, and the
growth and influence of that paper must be
a matter of just pride to him.

By Charles E. Russell


WASHINGTON, d. c., March
26.-The kings of the earth con-
spire to keep monarchy still
throned upon the worlds brain.
The people of the earth arise and
kick all these schemes and devices
into forgotten fragments.
One OF the most colossal of
these astute plottings went to
pieces when the Russian people
got tired of the fantastic yoke of
the king business and cast the
poisonous thing far from them.
Ever since that great day in
July, 1889, when the Bastille fell
in Paris, there has been royal
trade union to keep the kings on
their jobs.
Kings i'm Union.
Whatever their countries might
be forced to do, or seem to do,
after that, all the kings of Europe
have been bound together by Sc
cret alliance and the ritual of
their trade union.
One way to promote trade in
terests and keep the jobs was to
link up the thrones by carefully
made marriages.
Hence the German rulers, hav-
ing an over supply of princeling
parasites on hand, started in early
upon a deliberate fixed policy to
Germanize Europe and keep il
faithful to the worn out fantasy
of monarchism.
After a century of that policy
the result is seen In the fact that
every king in Europe is either a
German or has much German
blood in his veins.
British" King German.
To maintain only a few of the
achievements the king of England
| is a German. For generations
German has been the household
language of the British royal FAM
lily. Queen Victoria spoke English
with a marked German accent |;
German was her native tongue.
Even Edward VII was not perfect
ly at home in the language of the
country he ruled.
Three members of the British
royal family are now bearing
arms against Great Britain be-
cause they are German princes as
we'll as British and their German
allegiance naturally seems first to
them.
The queen of Belgium is a Ger
man.
The queen of Holland is Of Ger
man descent and is married TO a
German.
The poor, little man just taken
by the scruff and lifted from the
throne of Russia is seven-eighths
German. His empress was one OF
the vast army of German prince
esses that have been distributed
about Europe.
The king of Italy is largely Ger
man.
The king of Spain is one of the
big-jawed Hapsburgs.
The queen of Greece is the kais-
er's sister.
To do the work Of reaction,
uphold German influence and
help along the great work Of
Germanizing everything, the
female of this species was far
more deadly than the male.
It was the German queen OF
Greece that ruined that country
in the interest of Germany. She
