THE WINE PRESS OF SORROW.

From the Harrington (Neb) Herald
Everybody must sooner or later tread the
wine press of sorrow. SO it is written and
so 1T comes to pass in the experience of
men. Some people may seem to be immune
for the time, but eventually misfortune
overtakes them. Then they become initiated
into the mysteries of the great fraternity,
and join the unnumbered multitude of men
and women who are treading the wine press
of sorrow 1t is one of the universal. i'm
mutable laws of life and has no excep-
lions. The apparent exceptions are appar-
ent only and serve merely to illustrate the
rule Sooner or later all men must taste
the bitter cup, and many of them must drain
it to the dregs Sooner or later all men
must experience misfortune and calamity,
and many of them must be overwhelmed by
them. Sooner or later all men must tread
the wine press of sorrow, and many of them
must be crushed in the mill 1t is the com
mon lot of the human race, and none may
hope to escape

AS A CONTEMPORARY SEES US.

From the Fort Gaines Georgian.
The editor of The Dawson News is man
we envy. He manages to appear calm and
serene week in and week out, meanwhile
strengthening his merited reputation for be-
ing bit of philosopher, a humorist of the
arid variety, and Singer of the subtlest
sort of satire. Hear him, all We goods-box
statesmen and all we wise and otherwise pur-
veyors of printed opinion: Thousands of
persons know just what President Wilson
ought to do, and have been frank enough to
come right out and say so, too, on divers and
sundry occasions. Personally we have felt
that, for the most part, the president was
handling the job about as well as we could
do it ourself, and have, therefore, withheld
any very great amount of advice"

Now that we are at war with Germany
every American citizen-man, woman and
child-should do everything possible to win
the war. Our nation, our idols and our free
dom are at stake. This thing called Prus-
sian kultur, which has overrun Belgium and
a part of France, which has murdered old
men and children, raped women and girls,
devastated the country, and destroyed the
towns, must be wiped out forever. 1t is
hard for us to realize that we are at war.
But we are at war now just as much as if
the German fleet had shelled our seacoast
towns.

This is time for prudence and economy
in the daily lives of the people. Men and
women of common sense will know how to
adjust their methods to the new order of
things Those nervous souls who are sug-
costing impractical and unreasonable eco
Monies are doing more of harm than good.
They should be more confident, and trust
to the sound common sense of their fellow

save when possible, and avoid waste There
is no reason why any one, if able to enjoy
the comforts of life, should stint and starve

STILL BADLY MIXED.

From the Savannah Press.
After several unsuccessful stabs at the
matter the legislature met in special ses-
sion to pass prohibition law which would
cover every phase of the problem and leave
room for no question. And yet since the
present law became effective there have
been more questions than ever before. Some
time, somewhere there is going to be legis-
lature capable of acting on an issue in such
manner that even the lawyers and police
will know what to do.

From the Way.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has
made the right move He has proposed. be-
fore conscription goes into effect, that con-

After the meeting the Camp was en-

CITIZENS MASS MEETING
TO NOMINATE OFFICERS

The citizens mass meeting for the
purpose of nominating city officers to
Be elected at the annual city election
March q, will be held in the office of
City Recorder B. B. Richards, on Fri
day evening, February 2, at 7:3O
O'Clock.
At this meeting nominations will be
made for the office of mayor, three
councilmen, city treasurer and city re-
corder. The outgoing officials whose
terms expire with the closing of the
fiscal year are: Mayor Homer |, Watts.
Councilmen H. A. Barrett, M. L.
Watts and N. A. Miller; Treasurer
Zerba and Recorder Richards.
1t is definitely understood that May
or Watts, Treasurer Zerba and Recor
der Richards will be candidates to sue
ceed themselves. Friends of the out
going councilmen will doubtless make
an effort to have their consent to re-
election, inasmuch as the council has
been harmonious in governing the city
during the official tenure of its mem
bers.
A close perusal of the city treasurer's
annual statement, which appears on
another page of today's Press, is con-
elusive evidence that the city's affairs
have been most economically and capa-
bly, managed and conservative ver-
dict appears to lie in the desire to see
the city government executed along
these lines.

THE BARRETT BILL
WAKES UP HOUSE.
THE MERGING or STATE OFFICES
Committees to Work. For a
More Economical and Effic-
lent State Government.

The House is now taking whirl of
its own in the consolidation" pro-
gram. At the beginning of the ses-

ing bills through the Senate his object
being to save the state the unnecessary
expense at present incurred in main
tanning useless commissions and pro-
viding for the abolishment of the use
less ones.
The Barrett bills started the ball
rolling toward the goal of economy
and now the House, not to be outdone,
is msheathing its pruning knives. By
unanimous vote the House adopted the
resolutions committees resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of COM
mittee of five members to "examine
all feasible plans, to receive, prepare
and report bills looking toward the
abolition, consolidation and merging of
various state offices, boards and COM
missions in the interest of more eco
nomical and efficient government.
Speaker Stanfield has appointed on
the committee Representatives Brown
ell, Thomas, Ritner, Portwood and
| Porter.
The resolution under which this ac-
tion was taken was a substitute for
Representative Brownell's resolution,
debated on the floor of the House and
providing for consolidation program
by the revision of the laws committee.
Chairman Stott and other members
of the revision committee protested
against the Brownell plan because,
they explained, it would throw add.
tional work on a committee that al
ready is one of the hardest worked Of
the Legislature.
The resolution seemed to be salts
factory all around and members who
discussed it insisted that the commit
tee should get to work right away.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
INVESTIGATES HERE
SEVERAL WITNESSES EXAMINED
No Evidence of Bootlegging
Found--One Takes Extracts
Instead of Shipments"


At the instigation, of Mayor Watts,
District Attorney Keator came to
Athena Tuesday, and made an inves-
tigation of alleged bootlegging of
liquor in this city.
The district attorney was accom-
panied by Sheriff Taylor, Deputy Sher-
iff Estes and a stenographer. Some
ten witnesses were examined by Mr..
Keator and Mayor Watts in the latter's
office, their statements being taken by
the stenographer and which will be
placed on file in the District Attorneys
office.
The result of the investigation show
ed that what drinking had taken place,
to the knowledge of those examined,
was from private shipments of liquor,
bitters, and extracts, and so far as
they knew, no one had purchased liq-
uor of any person in Athena since the
prohibition law went into effect.
One witness, Frank Pambrun,M made
the statement that his booze consisted
of bitters and almond extract almost
exclusively, for the reason that whis-
key shipments cost too much money.
He had purchased one pint of alcohol
unlawfully, the purchase being made
in Adams.
The investigation showed that ex-
tracts were evidently in great demand,
containing as they do from so to 98
per cent alcohol. These extracts Of
lemon, vanilla, almond, ETC., may be
purchased at any grocery store.
The district attorney called the
mayors attention to the fact that un-
der the prohibition law, any person
coming to him with complaints or al
leging knowledge of illegal traffic in
liquor could be subpoenaed by him to
appear before magistrate, and on re-
fusal to give information would be
liable to fine of $500. Mayor Watts
says that hereafter persons coming to
him with complaints of this nature
must be prepared to back them up.
