WHERE A VOTE FOB HOWARD is
A VOTE FOR HARDWICK.

1t is altogether feasible that vote
for Howard may be a vote for Hard
wick.
In Sumter county even it is posi-
BILE that such might be the case, al
though here it is not likely because
OF the fact that W. ]. Harris is going
to carry this county SO overwhelm-
ingly.
But take those counties where there
is Hardwick strength, and where
Howard will receive sufficient votes
to make the outcome doubtful-there
vote for Howard is a vote for Hard
wick. If there are 1000 votes in a
county, say, and Hardwick will get
400, if the remaining 800 are divided
between Howard and Harris, even if
the latter gets the biggest share, the
division will be such as to give Hard
wick the plurality. That is when g
vote for Howard will be vote for
Hardwick, and that is why the can
didacy of Mr.. Howard is inimicai
to the best interests of the state
That is why President Wilson has
appealed to all loyal Georgians to
unite on W. ]. Harris for the United
States Senate. In no other way can
the defeat of Hardwick be absolutely
assured.
That Harris is by far the strong
est candidate no one can question.
President Wilson, after study of the
facts arrived at this deliberate con-
clusion, and then he wrote his letter
to MIR. Howell urging that Georgians
concentrate On Mr.. Harris. But il
the Harris vote should be cut down
in a sufficient number of counties by
Towards candidacy, it will open a.
loophole for Hardwick--thanks TO-
Georgia's primary system which gives
the election to the candidate receiy-
ing the most county unit votes.
In those counties where Hardwick
has developed, or has always had
strength, special effort should be
made to bring these facts to the at
tention of the people, in order that
they may realize that vote for How
ard is a vote for Hardwick

SUGAR AND PATRIOTISM.

In one of the school histories there
is this line about George Washing
ton:
He was perfectly unselfish because
he was perfectly patriotic"
Selfishness and patriotism cannot
live in the same house, nor inhabit
the same mind.
The man or woman who is unwil-
ling to make sacrifices at a time like
this has not that fine spark of pa
triotism which ought to burn bright
ly in the breast of every thoroughly
loyal person Patriotism is not sim
ply a hollow name, something to talk
about and write about; it is some
thing deeper, nobler. 1t is service
and sacrifice and without both there
is no patriotism.
Washington was SO intensely pa
triotic because he was so unselfish,
giving everything for the cause Of
the American Revolution, always
thinking of others before himself,
and doing without so that others
might have.
1t makes us weary and disguested
to hear people exclaim in a restau-
rant: 81 certainly wish I could get
more than two spoonfuls of sugar for
my coffee. 1t does look like COULD
Or to hear people complaining that
they cannot have as many dresses as
they used TO have before the war be-
gan and the necessity for food con-
servation became so imperative.
The person who is unwilling to
make any food saving that the men
in authority request is selfish and
is, therefore, unpatriotic. There is
no way out of it. There is no argu
ment in their behalf. They haven't
one bit of saving grace.
The -four situation is about to be
relieved, but for a considerable while
yet it will be necessary to stint our
selves on sugar, SO that the soldiers
in France and the Allies and the AL
lied peoples may have an allowance;
and even at that none of the Allied
nations have as much per capita as
we enjoy now,
Whether it is sugar, or -four, or
gasoline, remember that unselfish-
ness is one of the cardinal traits of
patriotism

THE NEXT CENSUS.

In another year the great machin-
cry of the census will be in full OPP
Grafton, and the enumeration OF. the
population of the United States, as
well as the compilation of statistics
concerning every phase of our agri-
cultural, and commercial life, will be
Instituted
Already the census committees of
Congress are making plans for this
work, which is really a stupendous
task, involving months of labor and
necessitating the employment of
thousands of men and women.
What makes the proposition of
such peculiar interest now is the
question of the war. If the war is
still in progress in 1919 and 1920, will
the census be taken? Should it be
taken? Will there be sufficient idle
labor here to furnish the census bu-
reau with the adequate number OF
employees? Should the census be
taken at a time when Jhe entire life
of the nation is changed, wreH hun
dreda of industries are suspended,
when business everywhere is in an
altered and uncertain ccndiC. Gu
These are some Of the questions nat
urally arising and undoubtedly will
provoke much argument in Congress.
The taking of the census is one of
the oldest of customs.
Herodotus tells us of census OF
Egypt taken about 1850 B. C. for The
purpose of making arrangements for
the construction of the pyramids
Elsewhere this same author refers to
a second census, taken about IA B. c.
in Egypt by Rameses II, for the pur-
pose of re-apportioning all the land
of Egypt along his subjects The
Bible tells us that Moses counted the
tribes of Israel to determine their
fighting strength, and that David
about 1918 B. c., took census fol
the same purpose. There is a record
of a census taken in China about 120C
B. c.. when data of the provinces
were collected by liking.
The Romans had a census ever!

Save or Suffer

I HERBERT HOOVER'S warning to the
1 American people that the eastern
ton of the country is facing an acute food
shortage and short rations may be imposed
upon the G0,000,000 or more people by dire
necessity, comes shock Few had re-
allied that such thing an actual shortage
could prevail in land that always has pro-
duced a surplus land that always had lived
upon lavish scale had become rich by selling
what food products it did not need to less
fortunate countries.
Nor until war came did many Americans
realize how absolutely dependent they are
upon railroads. The fuel shortage from
which the country has barely emerged is
chargeablc almost wholly to lack of trans
portation facilities Delayed frcights Of all
sorts are the result of overtaxation of
the interior lines, and now more than half
Of the American people farce to face with
an alarming food famine because distribution
has broken down. The railroad is the verit-
able artery of American life
All the circumstances of the present situa-
ton constitute 4 stern reminder to the people
of this country that they must save or suffer-
that they must husband their resources not
alone to supply their allies, but actually to
supply themselves. The reply of the average
family to such admonition is that 1t is now
saving in every known drection that the
high cost of all domestic necessities has forced
the man OF moderate means to reduce con-
sumption and that it is little short OF mock
cry to preach conservation to him.
This reply is well taken. The average
family is not indulging in waste and is not
using pound Of food that can be regarded
as unnecessary. But there is waste in this
country. Some of it is being practiced by
the government itself in the military camps
1t even became necessary in that connection
TO name an expert commission to go into the
problem and reform the subsistence system
of tho army. There is waste in public eat
ing places and there is waste on the part OF
people Of large means. The government
knows this and many millions of people out
side the government know it,
There is, Of, course, no fear Of starvation
conditions in any quarter Of this country. 1t
would be foolish on the part OF the food
administration to intimate much but be-
fore the siNtyday period which Mr. Hoover
refers to passes, the East may find 1t ncccs-
sary to do without many OF the food products
to which it is accustomed and may be COM
PEELED TO subsst upon reduced rations until
the spring crops reach the market.

Rollrnnnia'S Plight

MO nation now involved in war. with the
~ exception Of Belgium and Serbia, is In
as grave n situation as toumania. Abandoned
by her once powerful ally, face to face with
q grim ana brutal foc and with the richest
section Of her domain in the hands OF the
enemy, sho is in an acute state of distress IL
is doubtful if she can give but one answer to
the Mackcnscn ultimatum. That answer must
hc surrender. With Russia not only with
drawn from her support. but actually hostile
to her and with the central powers threaten
ing 10 destroy her Roumania would commit
vain suicide if she continued TO fight.
No allied government will blame her If she
yields No curses will be hcaped upon her by
her friends There will be prescription
of her after the war and ostracism while
the war lasts. Only sincere sympathy will
go cut TO her from allies which helpless
to go to her rescue. ii she finally decides
to make peace with Germany and Austria, as
il seems she must, the entente governments
will continue TO wish her we'll and will wait
for the day when they can avenge her as
they mean to avonge the other small peoples
which have suffered in thi; war.
Tho peace which the central powers will
force upon Roumania will not make friend
Of this little kingdom. On the contrary, bit
tcrness will he in the heart Of every true
Roumanian and intercourse between her and
her enemy neighhors cannot be resumed. 1t
would be to the economic advantage OF Ger
many and Austria completely to ovcrrun
Roumania, to crush her, to seize her lands
and to occupy them conquered province.
by this means the helpless victim could be
appropriated and whatever she has taken, just
as Belgian property has been taken.
Meantime, the world will contrast the
loyalty OF Roumania with the perfldy of
Russia. The greater country has laid down
and invited an enemy to kick her into in
sensblity. She has collapsed, thrown UP
her hands and in spite of limitless resources
in men and materials she has allowed herself
10 be driven upon the rocks Roumania ON
tho other hand, has stood fast She has re-
manned faithful to her covenants to the last,
and Will yield only i'll the face of power
that threatens TO overwhelm her
