Kaler's Kurrent Comments

We never did believe that it
was a good policy to swap
horses crossing a stream" and
fear that those whose votes chang
ed the political complexion Of the
House of Representatives and,
thereby, probably handicapping
President Wilson in his plans for
| the restoration Of the losses Of the
war, may live to regret it.
That Germany is whipped and
knows it, is self-evident. Yet, ac-l
cording to the old rule Of IAN
eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth, the "war should have
been carried into the enemy's
country" and the allies should
have given them a little Of their
own medicine in the way of pro
Iperty destruction, and there
should be no let-up until she is ac-
tually on her knees asking for
pardon and mercy. Unless she is
thoroughly whipped, this hydra
Headed monster will again CON
lspirc against the peace Of nations.
Well, we lost some Of our vote
Tuesday, but, like all good citi-
zens, we believe in majority rule
and have no kick comm. J,
A COW, some hens, patch of
sweet taters, some rice, some cane
and a little garden, with a roof
over our heads, this spells happi-
ness and contentment, or should
do SO, especially in this climate.
Those who think seriously Of
going to fishing for living,
should remember that only the
successful catches are reported.
The failures have gone into Grow
er Cleveland's innocuous desue-
tude.
The city election comes on No
vember 26th and Thanksgiving on
the 18th inst. Let us be thankful
that there are no more elections
soon.
Punta Gorda has a breed of
guavas that is new to us. Those
bushes are bearing in November,
while all those we have seen be-
fore are done bearing by Septem-
Der LIST Punta Gorda leads in
many things besides guavas.
While Arcadia s celebration, as
well as the celebration of other
cities, was premature, she can
have the consolation of knowing
that she can repeat the celebra-
tion soon and this time with
cause. Later; And she did.

SAFETY SOUGHT
IN COTTON HOUSE
Section Hands Save Build
ing From Destruction
By Fire.

A few drops OF rain, accompanied
by crash Of thunder and vivid
fash Of lightning brought sadness to
the little town of Onvil, four miles
from Covington, about p. m. Thurs
day.
Three little children of Mr.. John
Morgan were in the cotton field at
their farm home when warning. of
the shower came. They ran to the
cotton house. Houston, aged H.,
climbed the ladder and jumped into
the soft bed of cotton stored there.
Charlotte, aged Z, was in the act Of
ascending and Reulah, aged 8, was
standing the doorway. AS forked
blaze of light ripped through the
sky, followed by a sharp crash of
thunder, the three children were
Knocked unconscious. Charlotte
was killed instantly. Her clothing
was burned to a crisp. Bulah was
stunned and was kept under opiates
by Coroner Bulloch until about IL
o'clock, before she was pronounced
out of danger. Little Houston was
not so badly shocked and recovered
soon. Bulah was buried Friday.
The Morgan family have the deep
sympathy of all. One son had a
short while ago made the supreme
sacrifice for his country.
Twenty feet from the cotton house
Z SOW was also struck by the same
bolt and killed.
The section hands came to the res
cue of the cotton house and saved it
from the flames

MRS. ]. C. BURNS
MAKES TRIP TO
BEAUREGARD

Mrs. J. G.. Burns has lately return
ed from a visit to Camp Beauregard,
where she went with her family, and
Miss Ruth Frederick, to bid her son
Philip goodbye, as he was to leave
for the front.
Mrs. Burns was impressed by the
enormity Of the work accomplished
at this camp and the wonderful ex-
ecutive ability displayed in the ar
rangements for the care and comfort
Of the forty thousand soldiers sta
toned there.
There are three square miles OF
buildings, so arranged that nOwith-
sanding rain one might walk from
one to the another Of them, complet-
ing an entire inspection of all build
tags and surroundings without get
ting in the least wet, all walks being
covered. She found the buildings
neat and clean and splendidly ar
ranged The Carnegie library con-
tanned books in every language, with
/ the reminder that German is miss
ing, because it is no longer a recog-
nized language in America. Com
Portable chairs and lounging places,
tab.es and other conveniences for the
student or reader were temptingly
\ afarnged, and the service excellent.
The Y. NJ c. A. and the X. of C.
rooms were favorite places for the
soldiers to gather. Large numbers
oi the boys could be seen writing
y letters, and there was plenty of paper
4 and envelopes free Of charge.
Mrs. Burns had an opportunity of
q Inspecting the kitchen, which she
found clean as pin. She was also
ss an honor guest at the table, where
u sne was served with dinner. All

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.

e. G. Davis, president of the Gov
ington Bank & Trust Company. has
called our attention to an exhaustive
statement recently made. by r. N.
Sims, Examiner of State Banks.
Among many other features given.
Mr.. Sims reports that on June 70.
1918, the total resources OF the coun-
try banks Of the State aggregated
IsSO.S4O,757.27 against $99.336,-
I312.19 for December 81, 1917. show
ing a decrease of nineteen per cent.
This decrease is explained as being
natural and expected. as much OF the
banks money has been placed in
crops and much has been used to
invest in Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps. The feature Of the
report that interests Mr.. Davis. tho.
is that during this same time the re-
sources OF the Covington Bank 4
Trust Company have increased some
sixty thousand dollars. or about six
per cent. This is indeed remark
, able showing; particularly is it so
when 1t is remembered that the Gus
toners of the bank have invested SO
freely in Liberty Bonds and War Saw
ings Stamps, to say nothing Of their
contributions to Red Cross and other
war interests.
