RE UNION WOULDBE
A GREAT SHOWING

From the Virginia Pilot & Norfolk
Landmark
Suggestions that the Confederate re-
union projected to be held in Wash
ington in June next, coincidently with
the Inauguration of Virginia's monu-
ment to her soldiers who fought at
Gettysburg, should be abandoned as
out of keeping with the state of war in
which the country has been forced by
a foreign foe, seem to us wholly un-
deserving of consideration. Instead OF
being inappropriate that at this time
the surviving veterans of the Confed-
eracy should rebuild their camp fires
under the shadow of the National Cap
itol, to us it appears that in no other
way could the perfect reconciliation
which fifty years of peace have brought
about between the Northern and South
ern people be as clearly demonstrated
and emphasized.
Since the crisis of our quarrel with
Germany came to a head the most
prompt and positive of the voices call
ing for full vindication of American
rights have come from the old men in
grey who in their youth battled for
conscience sake against the flag they
have taught their sons to revere as
the symbol of reunited country. The
South stands as unit behind the Gov
eminent in its determination to up
hold the honor of the Republic. We
can imagine no scene more inspiring
OF loyalty than will be presented when
the remnants of the armies that fol-
lowed Lee and Jackson and Johnson
shall march up Pennsylvania Avenue
to the Washington Monument and there
bear testimony to all the world that
every beat of their warrior hearts keep
time to the music of the Union.
And if over the thin column that
remains of once mighty host the
Stars and Bars shall fly side by side
with the Stars and Stripes, the juno
ture would not revive buried differ
ences, but would give convincing
token that the wounds of the past
have been healed, it's animosities bur-
led, and that the only rivalry now be-
tween North, South, East and West is
which shall go foremost and furtherest
in fulfilling the duties of patriotism
IT, the land they love.

The Practice School building, which
will be located on the fair grounds, is
to be constructed at once. AS stated
before, the purposes of this school
are to prepare students to take up
high school work and to afford prac-
tice for graduates of good standing
who intend to become teachers. Mr..
J. M. Collum is being heartily con-
graduated by many educational offic-
ials, among whom are M. L. Britain,
State Superintendent of Scvhools, F.
Il. Land and M. L. Duggan, for having
suggested the plan and inaugurating

The effect of the prosperity of the
farmer upon the rural schools and the
importance of considering the econ

sized The community project of the
Chipley Feed Mills in Harris county
is one of the most interesting that
has been undertaken anywhere in the
South Under the direction of Mr.. L.
E. Floyd, an engineer and public spir-
tied leader this mill is literally trans
forming the farming community and
is demonstrating the possibility of
unusual prosperity on the farm with
out the one-crop system. Wherever
we can promote the practical econ
omic welfare of teh farmer, we may
hope to call upon him and his family
for greater results in the school, home
and church, and such experiments as
the Chipley mill, approved by the
county superintendent, will be well
coined by all Georgians.

Leather is a tough, indigestible ar

1t is used in the manufacture of
shoes, restaurant pancakes, belts, beef

always goes up just before presiden-

Trade Commission Fears Fuel
Shortage Next Winter.
WOULD TAKE OVER CARRIERS
Recommends Th3t Government Pool Of
Mines and Railroads Be Formed
to Avoid Threatened Crisis.

Washington, D. C. - Government
pools of coal production and distri-
button, and of rail and water trans
portation, were recommended to con-
gress by the federal trade commits
sion as the only means Of avoiding
disastrous coal shortage next winter.
THE commission believes says
the report, submitted after many
months of investigation ordered by
congress-, that the coal industry is
paralyzing the industries of the coun-
try, and that the coal industry itself
is paralyzed by the failure Of trans
portation.
There are enough coal cars in the
country, but not enough are deliver
ed to the mines, and these cars are
not moved with the greatest expedi-
ton, nor are they promptly discharg-
ed. In view of these conditions the
committee recommends:
"First-That the production and dis
tribution Of coal and coke be conduct
ed through pool in the hands Of a
government agency; that the produc-
ers of various grades of fuel be paid
their full cost Of production plus
uniform profit per ton with due al
lowance for product and efficiency OF
service), and,
"Second-That the transportation
agencies of the United States, both
rail and water, be similarly pooled and
operated on government account and
under direction Of the president, and
that all such means of transportation
be operated as a unit, the owning cor
porations to be paid a just and fair
compensation which covers normal net
profit, upkeep and betterments."

FIX PRICES ON ALL STEEL
Suggestion Made by Head Of Govern
ment Shipping Board.

ment shipping 6odTo'
Washington, D. c. - The federal
trade commission will be asked soon
by President Denman of the .emergen-
cy fleet corporation to fix uniform
price for steel and steel products for
all Industries throughout the country.
The commission will be asked to
name fair price which will afford
the producers fair profit not only
on steel but on pig iron, iron ore and
every other material entering into the
manufacture of steel.
With the government obtaining its
steel for the proposed fleet of ocean
going vessels at a comparatively low
price, it is feared that, unless some
restrictive action be taken, the price
of steel and iron to other industries
will attain unheard of levels within a
short time,
