"BOrrerin''

Mr.. Peaslee's expression was one OF
great dissatisfaction mixed with
none too patient resignation. He
grunted as he seated himself upon the
long seat in front of the village post
office. Mr.. Nudd noticed the grunt
and mentioned it.

passionately, I'D shut myself up some

What's happened TO stir you up so?"
"Borrerin nelghbors," responded Mr..
Peaslee with a briefness that testified

First Motion Picture.

The motion picture is more than fifty
years Old, Il we understand by that
term any device for producing the OPP
tieai Illusion OF moving objects. These
toys were called by various names,
such as thaumarope, zoetrope, strobe
scope, phenakistoscope, sterescopic
cabinet, kinematoscope, etc. The first
exhibition Of Photographic motion pie

When the California was torpedoed
on February last, while off the north
coast of Ireland, with Il loss of II per-
sons, two of whom were children born
in Philadelphia. the bubbles in the
wake of the torpedo were noticed by
Captain Henderson just before the
vessel was struck.
"Fire on that spot !" he called
through the speaking tube to the crew
manning the 4.7-inch gun mounted aft.
The steamship was struck before the
gun could be trained, however.
1T seemed fairly to lift the ship
out of the water" said one of the
survivors. Many Of the passengers
and crew were thrown from their
feet, and, besides the five killed in
stantly. more than score were in
jured by flying splinters."

A TIMELY EDITORIAL.

Dear Mr.. Editor: Among your many timely
editorials pulling for progress think your article
on Mothers Eight Hours was perhaps among
the best and furnished real food for thought Since
how often need things to tighten the labor
of the hours if not to make the hours shorter
After all, it is the attitude of the worker, not
the nature of the work, that makes drudgery
The principal trouble in home labor is that no
one seems to think that laborsaving machinery
or on the farm. The average of us farmwves of
today has practically the same appliances that she
had years ago. Not so with the farmer He has
pillow on which he ride and carry an umbrel-
la. He has harvester that cuts as much wheat
rye or oats or hay 10 men did so years ago.
HIS wife milks the COW, makes the bed washes
the dishes, and sweeps the floor just as her grand
mother did. There is no excuse for putting all
the laborsaving machinery on the farm and in
The factory. fair share should go into the
have lighting system and hot and cold running
water IN his nome as easily he can have so
many of his own laborsavng devices for his farm
work and the farmers wife deserves it, She should
and can have freess cooker that will work
overnight, saving labor and fuel
Today the farmer accomplish in fewer hours
or times as much as formerly; machinery has
made it possible. But how about his wife, who
has more to do and is often expected to do if
with devices and conveniences that were antio
1ated in even her grandmother's day
Surely it seems that in these days of prosperitv
the farmers should and would be thoughtful
enough to supply some of these greatly needed
labor-saving appliances and devices to rest those
laborhardened hands, weary backs and stooped
sholders of their faithful and patient wives.

A MATTER OF CONSERVATION.
A COUNTRY HOUsEKEEPER,

Information coming from the Superintendent
office Of the georgia Southern and Florida Rail-
way, calls attention to some very forceful fig
ures on the question of conservation of food re-
sources.
During the twelve months July list, 1916, to
June Goth, 1917, over 1000 food animals have
been killed destroyed on this line of railway
alone The total amount paid out by this com
pany for these animals is more than $25 OOO
However large the amount thus needlessly ex-
pended may seem to the average mind, the fact
that this company has paid out the sum. is not
FINALS lave been taken out of their channels of
usefulness and the food resources of the country
depleted to that extent
1t is true, which this company admits. that a
large proportion of this waste is due to careless
ness of employees in operation of the trains, but
large degree of carelessness and Indifference may
be attributed to the people living along the line
of the company, who do not exercise the proper
care to keep the ranimals off of the tracks Stock
owners are too often negligent in this matter be-
"""N' 'iiN' hiio" tey Will ISCelVe luIl COmpenSa-
ton for the value of all animals destroyed
Would it not be better if the public would come
forward and admit it's share of the responsibility
in this regard and undertake to exercise all dilig-
ence in the preservation of this enormous waste in
food supplies? This company promises to see
that its train operatives shall exercise a greater
degree of care in the future that no part of the
blame for this waste be laid at the door of this
company and they earnestly insist that stock
owners shall also take up their share of this bur-
dedn and see that animals are not exposed to the
perils of the tracks.
1t would of course, be an enormous saving to
this line and it would thereby be better able to
perform its proper function as a railway and It'll $
patent that decrease in the number of animals
killed would mean a consequent increase in the
sum total of food supplies for the country as
whole
SO it may be said that this call coming for this
railway company to stock owners along its lines
is call to patriotism for the saving of this num-
Der of animlas each year would be to the interest
of the public in feeding the world in this time of
peril.

STRIKE WON BY
sEARoARD CLERKS.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept 18.After sew
eral conferences of labor leaders,
government representatives and
heads of the Seaboard Air Line rail
way, settle-.- mt of the system wide
strike among the Seaboard clerks
which has been on for two weeks, has
been arrived at. according to an
nouncement made last night by
Arthur Keep, of Jacksonville, who
has been in Atlanta several days
doing organization work among the
Seabuard clerks in this city.
Mr.. Keep received a telegram Mon
day night from ]. j. Forester, grand
president of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Clerks, which instructed him to
put all strikers back to work, a set
tlement having been reached. AL
though the details have not yet been
received, the three cardinal demands
of the striking clerks have been
granted it is asserted. These include
a 20 per cent. increase in wages, re-
organization of the organization and
reinstatement of all strikers.

SAVE YOUR HOGS.

1t is recognized that there is at the present
time shortage of meat producing animals, and
it would that this shortage will increase, as
ar as hogs are concerned, recent statistics
show that there now nearly 5 100000 less hogs
n the United Statse than year ago.
The State Commissioner of Agriculture il his
yearly report for 1916 emphasizes the fact that
Georgia paid, to people outside the state $5251-
$4,000 for side meat These figures were obtained
by the number of pounds of this meat shipped into
the state figuring Is cents per pound During al
most the entire year of 1916 hog prices were about
the same number of pounds this year, under exist
ing prices, it is not placing the figures too high
to say she will send to the hog raising states
$lO,0OOOO0 100 for this class of meat provided of
course, she is able to get meat shipped in at all.
Much of the meat formerly shipped to the South
from the central states must now go to feed our
allies in the present war. 1t would seem, there
FORE that it is up to us to raise our own pork
and keep this money at home
Although there has been a decrease Of 10 per

Georgia has increased her production in this line
in the last three years something like half mil

Georgia is to feed herself, if she is to feed the
people within her boundaries, she must still in
crease her pork production about 7O0,vvO hogs
These figures important. 1t is vitality i'm
has moi heretofore done so produce enough food
for home consumption, and Georgia needs to raise
nearly 100000 more hogs to do this. We will not
have to look elsewhere for market. We need at
least 100000 more meat hogs annually to sup
ply home demands. However, it will not add
much to the meat supply to the hog raiser's
purse if he grows many hogs and then allows them
to die of cholera or other disease, that is
preventable before killing or selling time Con
serVation is as important as production.
The days of experimenting with the anti-hog
cholera serum have passed. No we'll informed hog
raiser today doubts the value of serum. Do not
wait until the disease makes it's appearance in
your herd. Apply the motto Safety First" in your
hog raising. Have your hogs immunized before
cholera gets to your herd
Our own stock raisers have but to communicate
with their demonstration agent, ]. A. Johnson il

TRAITORS WILL DISTURB PEACE.
(From the Milwaukee Journal.)

(From the Milwaukee Journal)
In view Of the fact that it has been necessary to
bar from Wisconsin the national convention of the
Peoples Council" society for aiding Germany,
why not strike deeper by prohibiting the meetings
which are being held in various parts of the State
to swell its membership? Why suppress its ma
tonal convention and nevertheless permit it to
spread it's tentacles all over Wisconsin? Some of
the talk at these meetings is more incendiary than
anything hat any of the speakers at a national
convention would dare to utter. What is more
the danger of violence, from side or the other,
is at least great None need doubt this in
view of the uproar that ensued al a Peoples
Council" meeting at Barton when a loyal citizen
made a motion that all who were in favor of
American victory in the war against Germany
should stand up. The motion was lost to sight
in the commouon that it caused and of course
nobody stood up-for America The incident
reveals the danger fserious outbreaks any time
al these meetings.
Similar danger exists in connection with the
antwar organization meetings which the German
Socialist party is holding in. There is likely to be
violent clash at any time between the loyal and
the disloyal The spirit that manifested itself at
Hudson is likely to break out in any one of many
places under provocation of attacks upon the ma
tons cause.
Disoya talk is hurtful to the country and when
is lei loose in public meetings it fosters sedton
and endangers public order 1t should be stop
ped
The flames are fed, of course, by German Ian
guage newspapers, few publications printed in
English and by leaders who seek to serve Ger
many, These, too, should be silenced, even if it
is necessary to enact new legislation.
Measures to prevent reasonable acts and to
throttle reasonable utterances will of course be
denounced as a manifestation of Prussanism. |
Those who raise this cry however, will be the
very men and newspapers who feel treason, speak |
treason and act treason in order 10 serve Prussia. |
America, it may safely be assumed, is not going |
to destroy the freedom of speech or the liberty |
of the press, but she is at war she has enemies at
home we'll as abroad, and she has as much right, I
and it much her duty to defend herself against |
enemies on her own soil as it is to fight armed
foes the battlefield

PEANUTS VERSUS COOLERS.

We are in a whole lot of trouble because we
said seriously that the peanut is a thing altogeth
different from the goober We referred to
the old time goober, as we saw it in our boyhood
days. 1t wasn't like the peanut then. 1t may be-
long to the peanut family, but our big dictionary
passes it up as the same thing we call peanut
and credits that use of the word as Southern for
peanut
The Dawson News talks back in this manner:
THE Cordee Dispatch wonders if we know
the difference 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 groundrea and
there's really no difference in the appear
ance, shape and taste of the nuts In all
sentials they are really the same"
And the Savannah Press goes at it scientifically
declaring that the lowly peanut should be called
arachis hypogaea. Of course, that's the scientists
term of purely classification
Without his knowing it, we are going to call in

News, meaning also peanuts, seems commonly ac-
cepted.

in a larger, firmer shell. They are never in a

And the leaves long and narrow, as we re.
member them, only one leaf to the stem.
The Savannah Press quits with the suggestion
that there is yet a tender feeling among Georgia
farmers for plain old cotton (gosyium herbac-
cum which many of us believe ought to be worth
thirty cents pound"
That's all right, too, but if you lived in a town
where the people for miles and miles around have
been following beaten path for generations
and grow enough cotton to push down all the
fences about business places for two months
in the year and then do nothing the other ten
would you not cant something else to help make
