New Form of Intemperance.
From the Triton Gazette.

Discussing recent tragedies due to reck-
less driving of automobiles the Moultrie OBJ
server and Quitman Free Press suggest that
legislative enactment may seek to mete out
punishment for such crimes of the road.
We already have all the law that is nee
essary; the trouble is that the laws are NOT
enforced. With strict enforcement there is
ample law to prevent a great majority of
the auto accidents or to punish the guilty
where guilt appears. But for all practical
purposes the laws regulating the driving of
automobiles are near dead letters
The reason is not obscure Public senti-
ment does not demand their enforcement.
Too many people of influence, and in many
cases those in authority, are among those
most f1agrantly guilty. To be sure the vic
tim protests, but his wall is lost in the
sound OF footing horns and the whirr of
passing wheels.
georgia has been congratulating herself
on abohshlng the sale of intoxicants, after
many years of effort. City after CITY comes
forward with comparison of police court
records to show that we are once more a
sober and Iaw-abiding people. But if every
man, woman or child who, intoxicated with
gasoline, breaks the law openly and often
was brought to book we doubt if the police
and other criminal records would not show
an alarming increase in the aggregate num-
Der of malefactors
We very much question if we did not ex
change one intoxicant for another when we
traded whisky for gasoline. Life is about
as sa1e with man drunk on whisky as with
one drunk on the fumes of gas. A fool at
the wheel of an automobile is perhaps more
dangerous to the peace and order of his
community than one with his stomach load
ed with whisky and his pocket with pistol.

ON A SNIPE HUNT

Mayhap one Of the early and good devel-
opments in the war situation will be a break
between Germany and the bosheviki crowd
that is assuming to carry on peace negotia-
lions as to Russia. The Russians are finding
out the astute Teutons have invited them
to what would be called in this country Gig
uratively speaking) a snipe hunt. When a
snipe hunt occurs the man who holds the
bag finds out that he is a victim, and in this
case the Germans picked Russia to hold
the bag. Mayhap the poor, misguided Mus
covites will learn something before this war
ends. And, in the meantime we suggest to
Uncle Sam that he doesn't loan any more
good American coin to Russia until we know
that the people over there are in a sober
state of mind.

MERITS YOUR SUPPORT.

Every movement tending to foster and en-
courage the trade at home propaganda is
worthy and merits the cordial support of ev-
cry citizen of Dawson, hence the "Trade-at-
Home" campaign recently inaugurated by

sistent and enthusiastic encouragement from
every resident Of the city who has the well
fare of Dawson at heart. Aside from loyal
ty to your home city the spirit of common
fairness should inspire every resident of
Dawson to patronize the home tradesman.
He it is who helps to make this city the most
attractive home city in Georgia; he helps to
support your schools and churches, build
your streets and make all municipal improve
ments; aids in every enterprise that is pro

your neighbor why he should do likewise

More Than Two-Horse Brains.
From the Progressive Farmer.

One of the most gratifying sights we see
IN travelling over the South is the steadily
increasing number of farmers who are US
ing two-horse plows, harrows and cutivators
instead of the old one-horse implements that
have done so much to keep the South poor.
In the more backward portions of the
world there are yet poverty-stricken farm
ers or peasants who have no horses and
work only with their own muscles. Of
course, they are miserable paupers hardly
able to keep soul and body together. The
farmer who gets to the next stage and adds
the muscles of an OK to his own does much
better Then the farmer who has advanced
one stage further and uses a horse does still
better He is the man who by earnest eff
fort can "sorter get along" and earn a de-
cent, passable living in a civilized land.
But the real profit in farming comes
when the man has added the muscle not
merely of one horse but two, three or four
horses. AS we have so often said, the great
reason why the Southern farmer is poorer
than the Western farmer is that the South
erner runs his farm with one-horse power
While the Westerner runs his with two,
three or four horse power 1t is worth while
to repeat again Dr. Seaman A. Knapps ia
nous remark
where the South Carolina farmer uses
one mule and one man to pillow, accomplish
ing less than an acre per day from three to
four inches deep, the Iowa farmer uses at
least three horses, and plows four acres per
day SIX to eight inches deep"

THE GOVERNOR.

"Our governor is paying strict attention
to his duties and is ever watchful of the in
terest of the people of Georgia." say the
Darien Gazette. eve admire him for re-
fusing to make speeches at every town and
crossroads to please those who have axes
to grind"
Our Darien contemporary is not alone, by
any means, in its admiration of Georgia s
young governor In quiet and dignifed
way, without grandstand play, fuss or feath-
ers, Governor Dorsey is attending to the du-
ties of his Office in manner that is eminent
ly satisfactory to the people of the state. AL
ready one of Georgia's most popular men,
becoming governor.

Few Physically Perfect.
From the Savannah News.

Of the registered men who were called
and examined for army service 23.7 per
cent. were rejected for physical reasons
Many of the rejected could have been, and
are being, made available for army service
by the correction of their defects and the
treatment of their diseases. Many men who
were accepted were not entirely free of de-
feet and disease. Few perfect men were
found by any of the examiners, but that
1853 per cent. of the examined passed the
usually somewhat rigid tests is reason
enough for thinking the American nation
should not take a gloomy view of its own
future in so far as the health of it's peo-
pie is concerned. Life is getting longer, de-
spite the fact that old folks tell the young
people today that this hectic existence of
theirs is going to make them grow old quick
ly and pass out before their appointed
time"
1t is to be regretted, of course, that 237
per cent. of the men examined for military
duty were found unfit for physical reasons.
The examination itself likely made some of
them aware of physical troubles of which
they did not know, and so may lengthen
their lives and save them much suffering.
This fact suggests what a fine thing it would
be for the country if not only the young
men but even the children should submit
to periodic physical examinations. Children
suffer frequently from little troubles that
might be corrected easily if attended to
promptly, but which, if neglected cause
much suffering later on and even shorten
life.

ON THE WESTERN FRONT.

There are many and somewhat ominous
hints in kilograms that come from Europe
about the tremendous effort the Germans
are said to have in mind regarding military
operations in France. 1t is said that the
kaiser proposes to strike crushing blow all
along the line, and that his army is bigger
there now than ever before. Nearly half a
million Germans, it is said, have been
brought from the Russian front to strength
en- the German lines in France, and to give
opportunity for a portentious attack before
additional American soldiers can be sent
across the water. The Franco-British com
manders are duly apprised about this, and
are on the alert for the attack, with conf
dence that they can meet and properly deal
with it when it it made So let the Teutons
proceed with their plans, for here is hoping
that VIC shall be ready to meet them.

CHANGE THE VIEWPOINT.

1t is about time for the price ixers to
change positions in the judges stand. All
along it has been from the viewpoint of
profits. In these times there ought not to be
so much question of profits; it is a ques-
tiOn of living and winning the war, and it
is about time to take a look at the consum-
err, who has the paying to do. There is a
limit to what he can stand. The poor mans
ability to pay ought to have more considera-
ton that the producers profits. 1t is ques-
ton of Giving and let live" with all work
ing to win the war.

Beating the Price Down.
From the Houston (Tex.) Post.

Every shipper of farm produce to market
knows of the one-time popular method on
the part of dealers of refusing a shipment
in order to make the producer and shipper
come to a lower price.
That method was largely in vogue fifteen
years ago. 1t would appear from the testi-
mony of the railroad men that it is still
very popular among certain classes of deal
ers in the products of American farms.
1t is just such practices that discourage
the farmer in his efforts to diversity 1t is
just such practices which force him to the
one-crop method of farming which is today
doing more injury to Southern farms than
all other forms of soil exhaustion combined
And it is just such methods which are do
ing more to retard food production at this
time of need than all other conditions.

AGREES WITH THE DELEGATION.

From the Meter Advertiser.
Congressman Fet Overstreet. return
ed home for the holidays, brings the
news that the Georgia delegation is sol
idly opposed to the woman suffrage bill,
which will soon be voted on by congress.
There is no real desire in the South,
even among the women themselves, for
such an amendment to the constitution.
The women are now making homes hap
pier and controlling politics to a great
err degree than they will when they
become politicians.-Dawson News.
