hit our country hardest the past
week.

It seems to me that right now
would be a good time to drive
home a much needed lesson in
sanitation. In all too many plac-
es the bedroom slops-the bow

on. the ground without the least
dis-infection, where they dry and
such a dust storm as we had

disease. And right now while
people are scared would be good
time to impress upon them the
necessity Of better sanitation.

INVENTION

Necessity is the mother of inyen-
ton" is far from a true saying.
1t is true however that many in
ventions become necessities, because
of the endless revolution that is go
ing on in the life and habits of man.
And then the use of one invention
is apt to suggest the need of another,
and that of another, so the chain is
almost endless.
Perhaps each is a small thing, but
they are so linked up as to create a
great machine.
Do you know that the world has
made greater progress in the matter
of invention within the memory of
living men than in all history before?
Looking backward from fifty, we
have seen the development, if not
the invention, of many things that
have changed the course of events in
the worlds history.
The automobile has perhaps had
the greatest effect on the habits and
lives of men. 1t brought the country
close to the town and made travel
rapid and comfortable.
The moving picture is a wonderful
thing and still a new thing. You
older readers all remember the first
one you ever saw.
The telephone is only surpassed by
the wireless, and now they are so
common and useful as to be classed
as a necessity.
The inventor of the electric light
is still living and everyone knows his
name.
The flying machine is less than a
dozen years old, that is practical one,
but in a few years they will be as
common as automobiles are now.
The writer witnessed the first official
flight made by Wright Brothers, in
Washington, in 1909.
And every minute some one is
working at something new. The mind
cannot grasp what invention may yet
do for man within the next ten years.

NO RED FIRE FOR US

We said it last week, and we say
it again, the use of fireworks in a
fourth of July celebration this year
is not only foolish, but borders on
the criminal.
And yet Atlanta is going to pull
off stunt with lot of red fire and
explosives which should have been
put into shells for the boys at the
front.
And the cost of these things might
much better have been put into War
Savings Stamps.
This is no time to burn foolish
powder, or waste anything which can
be used for a better purpose.
Let there be no use for bandages
and surgeons in this county this year
to care for fourth of July victims.
By all means let us have a safe
and sane fourth.

TO MR.. HARRIS

Mr.. Harris may we ask you few
plain questions?
Is it fact that the President did
endorse the candidacy of Mr.. Hard
wick before the Macon Convention
nominated him?
Is it a fact that you stated to del
egates to the Macon Convention that
the President wished Mr.. Hardwick
for Senator?
Is it fact the President has en-
dorsed your Candidacy for Senator,
and wishes no one else to enter the
race in Georgia?
Is it fact that the President has
expressed, either to yourself or to
others within your knowledge, any
desire that you be elected Senator?
Now Mr.. Harris, there has been
talk about whether these things are
true or not, and you can clear up a
lot of doubt that exists in the minds
of many, by plain answer to these
questions.
We ask you the questions because
you are able to answer every one OF
them, Immediately, and truthfully,
if you care to do so.

THE SIXTIES AND NOW

We had a long talk the other day
with an old veteran who had beer
through the civil war of the sixties
and as he told of the hardships and
privations of that time, we were al
the time making a mental comparison
of it all with the present day scale OF
living.
One half of what we now consider
as absolutely necessary to live, would
have seemed to the patriot of those
days, a bountiful abundance.
On every hand we still see old peo-
pie who have experienced these pri-
vations, and when we calculate what
we might really save ourselves if we
were willing to do so, we can not but
feel that often all the best of us are
only slackers.

of the old veterans, or one of the
women of those days, and after a
careful consideration, you will proba-
bly, decide that you really might make
some further saving and still live we'll

And the way you are battling the foe.

While you, in grim silence fought
bravely on,
God grant US full time to repair.

on!
Your Country we reverence, our

You have shown to the world your
valor, your strength,
And we know you'll fight on till the
end.
Italy, fair Italy, fight on!
You have proven soldier true;
You are bravely guarding the great
sea gate,
That the rabble may not pass through.

Woman, brave Woman, hope on!
The mother of all who are there;
You have smothered the pillow of
each little one,
Who is fighting for justice "some-

Every drop of your blood is true;
And over the sea, in the dawn of the
night,
We are following, following you.

No true man will yield to a foe;
You will strengthen the arm that is
weary and worn,
And together, you'll win, we know.

According to the Harris papers in
the state. and we admit they are ma
ny, Bill Schley Howard is a mighty
small man, but every gun of every
one of the is turned on Howard all the
time, and their columns are filled in
every issue with paid for dope aimed
at Howard.
If Howard is so small why waste
so much ammunition?
And they said too that Harris had
all the votes months ago and they all
claim that he is still gaining votes.
We just can not understand that
sort of arithmetic, but after all it is
about the same sort that harris used
when he guessed at the coal tonnage
last year, or rather when he figured
it out for US and advised us to wait.

SCHOOL CENSUS COMPLETED

have just completed the county
school census, which is taken every
five years, and the county's part of
the state public school fund is based
on this census. Some facts apparent
from it will be of interest to the pub
lie.
There are within the county (out-
side of Marietta and Roswell, which
are independent school systems, and
deal directly with the state) 1908
children between the ages of 6 and
18 years. Of these, $500 are white
and 1853 are colored. The increase
for the last five years was 526-426
whites, and 100 colored.
There are 62 white children over
ten years of age who cannot read,
this being / 4-25 per cent of illiteracy
among the white children, very fine
showing for the county. There are
81 colored children over ten years of
age who cannot read, this being 4
6-10 per cent of illiteracy among the
colored children, and this too, speaks
well for the county. The combined
illiteracy is but 2 per cent.
AS a rule the districts with towns
in them have shown a falling off in
number since the last census in 1918,
thing that usually happens when
living is high, as people "go to the
farms" when living is high.
One district, Davis, in the extreme
northeast corner of the county, has
even 200 white children in it, and not
single colored child there. There
are two schools in the district, Davis
and Wesley. Winnings district shows
32 white and SO colored, fifty-fifty,
as it were. Elizabeth has more negro
children than any other school, there
being 1913 of them there, but it has
189 white children. Center is the
