MACHINERY IS SCARCE
+ Farmers Find 1t Hard to Get ImpIe-
ments Needed to Rush Work.

ASHBURN, Mar. PA good many
complaints are heard on every hand
here from the farmers that they are
unable to buy labor saving machinery.
Scarcity of cotton planters and peanut
troopers is especially acute in several
popular makes.
AS a result of the hail storm here the
first of the week, many farmers will be
forced TO replan a part of their cotton
and it will do no good unless they are
able to obtain these devices at once
Farmers in this section, regardless Of
the setback caused by the hail. are
planning great food crops this year.
but the scarcity of labor and labor saw
ing implements threatens to delay the
planting now beyond the time cosider-
ed best by the farmers.

respite
But there was a lynching and it
was crime against the laws Of
Georgia just as much as was that
which Solicitor General Dorsey's
agitation helped bring on some years
ago. His conduct as solicitor general
never would lead one to believe that
as governor he would act as he did
the other day when he respited the
negro in Crawfordville. Mind you
we know nothing about the merits
Of this latter case. We only know
there was lynching chalked up
against the good name Of the state
of Georgia, and there was not the
slightest excuse for it.
Governor Dorsey thinks the same
thing, but now we have the sweet
satisfaction Of telling him that he is
reaping what he sowed in other days.
If the high honor that rests on Hugh
Dorseys shoulders ever rests on
ours, we hope no mob will lynch any
one during that dime and no mob
shall if there is force enough within
reach to prevent it,
Governor Dorsey wants to know
now where was the sheriff of Telia-
ferre county when this crime was
committed But what good there?
The crime is committed The blot is
on the good name of Georgia and all
that, too, while Hugh Dorsey is gov
ernor. We are not glad of it. but
really we cannot help believing that
Namisis is close on the heels of the
governor.

A SOLDIERS ADVICE

Writing back home from the war
coed soldier boy the other day
r, lameuted the fact that Georgia hasn't
man in The lawmalling body of the
nation to occupy the place of the
late Senator Bacon. His regret came
when il seemed to draw upon him
that in Washington Georgia needs
statesman and woefully lacking in
the upper house.
Georgia's two Toms, he wrote, are
the blunders of the age Vote for
sound business men, he urged, men
who are capable OF going into public
affairs as one would go TO his own
business. This soldier said we need
men now, not theorists and dreamers
in Washington and there is no one TO
doubt that he is correct.
II the soldier boy who has gone
away to war can see it from so far
away. should we not see it? AS he is
going to give his all for his country.
.he urges that vote be cast for a
good man so that the government
may be what it should be. He feels
the need of loyal public officials, as
other people feel the need And he
knows the soldier must go to war in
happier frame of mind if he has
faith in the heads of the government.
1t is but little for Georgians to re
solve that the soldier boy away on
the battle front shall know that
these who direct him and tine destin-
les of this country in the war are the
kind of public officials in whose
hands things should be entrusted
1t should be determined and policy
reached by all the people, so far as
1 Royalty goes. II will be svhen there is
an opportunity. No one need fear.
Georgia is going to answer that sold
iers request in the case of Tom
.Hardwick just as soon as there is an
opportunity.

WHAT EVERY WOMAN
 WANTS TO KNOW
CONDUCTED pY MRS MAURICE LENx PHONE ssGs.

Mrs. Welford Leake Is a born teacher, for not only is she unusually well equipped in her subject, but as one white haired student with shining eyes confided, "she loves Ns SO" The friend Illness of spirit pervading the room was beautiful.
 An informal exhibition of the work was given for the visitors and when one little 14-year-old embryo stenog- rapher took down and read off, without mistakes and with unusual rapidity, long dictation, the suffragists could not help but applaud. And the class enthusiastically joined in. There is an earnestness. helpfulness, a sincerity of purpose about these students, from tie youngest little pig-tailed schoolgirl to the oldest gray haired grandmother, that brought a sense of pride and achievement to the suffragists who are in this one way helping 100 fellow women to fit themselves for war work when the need shall call.
 This pride was increased by hearing Mrs w. l.. Murdochs report to the national council of defense tin which she is chairman of the committee on women in industry). stating that after survey of the state it was found that there was great need for the training skilled workers among the men, par ticularly in office work, and that the one woman's organization in Alabama undertaking this work was the Bir- mingham Equal Suffrage associatoin.

MOVIE REFERENDUM

Q.--Who is qualified to vote on the question of Sunday amusements in Bir- mingham? When will the election be held?
 A.-The date for the referendum on Sunday moving pictures in Birmingham, as we'll as for the authorization of the s-mill extra school tax, has not been definitely decided but the probabilities are that 1t will come off sometime in May. The regular qualified voters, namely, the male" men, over 21, who have paid their poll tax, fulfilled the state requirements of property or edu- cation, will decide the question of Sum- day amusements for themselves and the rest of Birmingham's population. The women, of course, will have no voice.

Suffrage might have had for it's motto before the war the Boy Scout slogan, Be Prepared" for when the war came the workers for equal rights fer women were the women equally prepared with the best of the men 10 come forward and fight for our coun- try.
 Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, who will speak hero at the council of defense meeting at the Methodist church OF Thursday. March 2S. is the shining ex- ample of this suffrage efficiency.
 Mrs. Solon Jacobs, head of the Ala bama Liberty Loan drive, is another splendid worker for the government With .her at the helm the liberty loan ship is bound to reach port with coIors flying.
 The war against injustice and vice will be fought with Mrs. Angus Tay- Tor at the head of one army, when the S15,000 fund for the Girls Training school will be raised.
 Suffragists are prepared. Whenever call for service comes they can but say, Here am I, take me, take me-"
