Town and County Co-Operation.

The News hopes that our friends in the
rural precincts understand the real purpose
and efforts of the merchants, professional
and other business men to assist in bringing
about different method of farming in order
to successfully meet the new conditions
They do not claim to know as much about
farming as does the farmer but the Daw-
son business men want to cooperate with
the country business men, and they want
the country business men to know what the
town business men can do toward this CO.
operation. They believe they should come
together for common purpose in a common
cause.
There is no competition between the men
who produce the products of the soil. There
should be none. Each crops his land accord
ang to his own Judgment and every pro-
ducer who gets twenty cents for his cotton
or a dollar for his corn is willing for his
nelghbor to get the same. If by co-opera-
ton these producers can show to the city
where they sell their produce and buy their
goods what can be done to provide a market
they viii accomplish something in each COM
munity.
There was time when the business man
in the city looked out for the farmers trade
only, He bought only the class of goods the
farmer and his family wanted to buy, and
he was ready to trade with the farmer for
cash or barter and when the trade was over
he would pay him little mind until the next
time he came in from the country to buy
something. But it is different now. The
town man has discovered that the farmer
must have some other attentions He wants
market for what he produces, conducted
along safe and substantial lines; he wants
proper attention given to the roads over
which he must travel; he wants cooperation
in the educational system; he wants a place
to hitch his horse or park his car when he
comes to town. These things are being look
ed after by the modern town interests, and
it is bringing about a cooperation that will
result in a finer spirit between the town and
the country.
The News hopes to do it's part in all this
The News knows the value of the folks to
the county of the folks on the rural routes
better than most people do, and we want to
help in the great system of cooperation.

Mr.. Bryan's Activity.

The Hon. William J. Bryan, several times
a candidate for the presidency and recent
secretary of state, is an ardent advocate of
peace. From bureau established at Wash
ington, where he employs nearly a hundred
stenographers, he has sent broadcast through
the country many thousands of letters ask
ing the recipients to wire the president to
maintain peaceful relations with Germany.
AS the result of Mr.. Bryan's propaganda
thousands of kilograms and letters are now
being received at Washington the majority
of them practically identical not only in SEN
tilnent but in words. What impression these
documents, the best evidence in the world
Of an attempt to manufacture peace senti-
ment, will make remains to be seen.
And Mr.. Bryan's activity has extended
beyond the boundaries of the country. Util-
izing his former connection with the admin
istration he has endeavored to trans
NIT the results of his activities by
the now government-controlled wireless
stations to German newspapers, with whose
editors he is personally acquainted. In this
undertaking he has not been as successful,
as the messages he has prepared have been
censored both in the United States and in
Germany, with the result that the messages,
as finally read by the German public, have
produced more or less confusion in the
German mind.
1t must be admitted that Mr.. Bryan's in
tentions are always good, but his wisdom,
at times, cannot always be conceded.

Worth Thinking About.
From the Atlanta Constitution:

Jim Keith is a negro who, more than a
year ago, narrowly escaped lynching by a
Georgia mob under the impression that he
had murdered a sheriff
He was saved by Worth county officials,
but the lawless band did succeed in lynching
i've other negroes thought to have been i'm
pllcated in the murder of which Keith was
accused
jim Keith subsequently was tried, found
guilty and sentenced to a life term in the
penitentiary.
In the meantime, while Jim Keith Law in
prison, new light was shed upon the original
CRIME, and the life convict was given another
trial
Now, the new evidence proves Jim Keith
and the five dead negroes innocent: and he
was acquitted and his freedom restored by
a white jury!
What commentary upon the accursed
institution of lynching!
murder is committed a mob forms; five
innocent negroes are lynched; the life of a
sixth barely saved by the authorities from
the mob. Then, more than year later
further evidence has led to the general be-
lief that Mozelle Lake, who escaped, is the
murderer
A white jury and the law, soberly and
with elaboration, could restore to the one
living victim of premature mad impulse
his liberty, but not to the five others, who
are dead.
How long are the law-abiding citizens of
Georgia going to tolerate this disgraceful,
barbarlc practice-which is the foulest blot
upon the name of the state today

Cost of Newspapers
From the Macon News.

Macon newspaper readers should congrat-
ulate themselves that they continue to get
their papers without any increase in price.
Newspapers in nearly every part Of the
country have advanced their prices.
This unusual notice to the public appears
on the first page of the New York World
of Tuesday:
Owing to the shortage of news print
paper in the American market, and the
necessarily large size Of the paper, the
circulation of the morning edition of
the World will be reduced to 100000
copies daily, beginning February /, and
limited to that figure until further no.
tice.
NO other newspaper we have seen has, like
the World, reduced its circulation and fixed
a maximum beyond which it will not 90.
But many papers have now ceased to exert
themselves for new circulation, have cut off
every paper that is not paid for and have
served notice that they will not carry any
subscribers in arrears beyond ten days
On Monday the seven newspapers of Phil
adelphla, four morning and three evening,
doubled their price from one to two cents.
1t will cost these papers $2,000,OOO more
this year for white paper than last, and they
found they could not shoulder all the in
creased load and so decided to shift part of
it to the public

Stops Postage Leak.

In congress, few days ago, Mr.. Slayden,
of Texas, objected to publication in the Con-
gressional Record of speech delivered by
Richmond P. Hobson CT. the prohibition
question. His objection prevented the pub
LEGATION, and thus a postage graft of mag
nificent proportions has been stopped. 1t
will be remembered that just before he re-
tired from congress as lame duck Mr. Hob
son delivered himself of lengthy prohibi-
ton speech. This was published in the Con-
gressional Record, and for the next eight
months it was sent throughout the coun-
try, with free postage, under Mr.. Hobson's
frank, which was his privilege until Deem
Der following his retirement from congress-
IN the March previous. Since then Mr.. Hob
son has been on the pay roll of the Anti
Saloon League, and it was one of these
speeches that was offered for publication
IN the Congressional Record. Had Mr.. Slav-
den not raised the objection the mails of the
country would have been flooded with this
Hobson speech, at free postage, bearing
down upon the expenses of the government
every day of the year, because it would have
its right as part of the Congressional
Record"
There has been entirely too much circu
Iating of speeches and literature at the ex-
pense of the people by politicians and others
engaged IN propagandas of various kinds

A Worthy Institution.

Editor Joe Lawrence, of the Ashburn
Farmer, calls to our attention the Hepzibah
Orphans Home at Macon, with request that
its merits be brought to the attention of
readers of The News. AS Editor Lawrence
says, "a more worthy institution does not
exist as those connected with it are giving
their time and service out of pure love to
the helpless children under their care. We
prize Muller and others, who we read about
for their labor of faith along this line. Just.
ly so, too, but let us also prize these we have
with us now-a-day, and show our apprecia.
ton by literally responding to their ap
peals."
There is no nObler charity nor a surer way
to lay up treasures in heaven than caring fol
helpless orphans. People of Dawson have
contributed to this worthy institution in thu
past, and may be depended upon to do so IL
the future

Mr.. J. de Bruyn Hops, name quite as
extraordinary as the invention of which he
tells, writes the Savannah News that Penn
sylvania farmer Cleaned up" big crop of
potato bugs by rigging up small gasoline
engine and vacuum cleaner on little wag-
on, which he hauled up and down the rows
drawing the potato bugs in as the machine
was pulled along" That's very much on the
order of boil weevil catcher which Tiff
county citizen has invented. If potato bugs
can be thus disposed of why not boil wee
wills?

REASON WHY DIVERSIFIED FARMING
HAS NOT PROVED SUCCESSFUL

From the Southern Ruralist
1t is said that "a prophet is not without
honor save in his own country" If YOU
will change the word prophet to product
you will find one of the reasons why diver
slfied farming has not proved the success it
was hoped. The story of the potatoes in the
editorial, "Out for Results" in the Rural
ist of January first, reminds me of an in
cident which happened in Georgia several
years ago. A fruit grower in Fort Valley
put up cannery in order to take care Of
his peaches when the markets were glutted
and the prices low He put up good hon
est pack OF choice fruit and placed attractive
labels on his cans. He endeavOred to sell his
output in Georgia, but failing to do so dis
posed of it to Baltimore jobber. Among
those to whom he tried to sell his peaches
was a South Georgia wholesale grocery
house. A short time after refusing to buy
the Georgia product this wholesale grocery
house ordered a carload of canned peaches
from Baltimore, and when they were re-
celved every can bore on it the label of the
Fort Valley fruit grower.
