CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.

In recent speeches in New York city the
secretaries of the war and the navy invited
constructive criticism of their departments.
Indeed, Secretary Baker frankly asked the
assistance of the people in the work in
which he is engaged. 1t remained for ex-
Justice Hughes, however, to make the point,
not in reply but in way of suggestion, that
constructive criticism is impossible without
the facts. Mr.. Hughes declared that all the
facts should be made public save those which
might give aid and comfort to the enemy.
These addresses were made at a dinner
of the American Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION, which, during the proceedings of
it's convention, had discussed the censorship,
public criticism and other subjects
In other words constructive criticism will
come in this country in the largest degree
when the press and the public are taken into
the confidence of the government. There
are times when publicity must be limited,
and conditions under which some facts must
be concealed. There is, however, always a
possibility of making public more facts than
have been made known, thus increasing the
opportunity for larger cooperation on the
part of the press and the people.

A DUTY WE OWE.

There is a matter to which The News
feels it is only necessary to call attention
to insure quick and liberal response.
Five years ago a public spirited citizen
generously gave the free use for that period
of the lot on which the Womans Club erect
ed its club house. That time recently ex-
pired, and circumstances now make it nee
essary for the Woman's Club to either buy
or vacate the property, the price of which
has been agreed upon at 1000. They have
until June list in which to pay this sum, and
have already received from citizens contri-
buttons of one-half of the amount. The re-
naming $500 should be given freely and
quickly, for we know of no organization
that more abundantly deserves it. The activi-
ties of the club have been devoted exclu-
sively to the civic betterment and advance
ment of Dawson and Terrell county, and it
has initiated and carried to successful con-
clusion various enterprises and movements
that have been of great public benefit. The
News has often spoken in commentator of
the work of these women, and has taken
pride in their achievements.
We, as a community, should be glad of
the opportunity to make these workers gift
of the lot on which their house stands If
you have not already subscribed to the fund
do so at once; if you have, increase your
subscription

SOUTHERNERS STOOD TRUE.

On the resolution to call up the woman
suffrage amendment in the senate the re-
publicans, from the standpoint of the pro
amendment faction, made much the better
showing. Of the forty senators who voted
for the resolution twenty were democrats
and twenty were republicans, but of twenty
one who voted against it sixteen were dem
ocrats and only five were republicans. Of
course, it was the Southern group who were
safe and sane on this question, and saved
the day for the badly battered and almost
forgotten principle of states rights. Among
them were Bankhead, Hardwick, Smith,
Reed, Swanson, Tillman, Underwood Var
daman and Williams. They did not subordi-
nate principle to the need of votes in ma
tional elections.

SWAT EN- NOW

I'm spring a young fy's fancy fond
ly turns to love, with visions of a lus-
cious honeymoon in some nice garbage
pile, where may be reared million sons
and daughters in a month
We do not know the author of the above,
but, whoever he was, he was right.
Now is the time to kill the fly before it
multiplies and wakes too strong to be ex-
terminated. The first warm weeks of sum-
mer form the strategic time for a successful
anti-fy offensive. That time has reached
Dawson and this section, and it's up to the
patriotic swatters to don their helmets and
gas masks and raid the strongholds of dirt
and filth, which form the great incubators
of fydom.
: The campaign, to be effective, must be
carried out before the early insects have
time to lay their eggs and hatch out their
thousands of descendants. A single fly sent
to the grave now may save the lives of a
dozen babies during the summer by pre-
venting the birth of millions of the disease
carriers.
Cleanliness is one of the supreme weapons
to use against the fly tribe. The cleaner
Dawson becomes the fewer of the dangerous
pests there will be. Every individual should
clean his own property thoroughly.

THE BOOSTER.
From the Lavonia (Ga.l Times.

What would your town amount to without
the booster? Ever stop to ask yourself
whether you are boosting or just hanging
on?
The booster is the fellow who takes hold
of a forlorn hope, and by his cheerful Opti-
mism and bulldog perseverance keeps ham,
mering away till he accomplishes his OBJ
ject.
Little difficulties do not trouble the boos-
ter. He fattens on them. H is so red-blood-
ed that he scorns an easy walk-over in any
undertaking. He usually hunts for game
worth while, and in all such hunts the diff
cultles are numerous and great. But he
goes at them with will to win, and WILL
is the only quality under Gods heaven that
will win.
The booster doesn't see the faults and
failings of your town, or if he does see
them he passes them by with a smile and
a cheerful prophecy that they will soon be
remeded. He sees only the bright side, and
he so constantly plays up that bright side
that after awhile you just naturally come
to the conclusion that it far outweighs the
dark which is very sensible of you, though
you should have been helping him all along
to bury the dark and hold up the light.
But don't get it under your hat that
boasting is boosting. The two are as widely
different as daylight and dark. The boaster
is satisfied, the booster is ever reaching out
for more. The boaster proudly calls at
tention to what we HAVE, but the booster
calls attention to what we CAN have if we
display sufficient energy. The boaster lives
in the glory of the present, but the booster
is ever looking to the future and planning
new and greater achievements.
Be booster. Get under the load and help
"tote."

UNOPPOSFD

Representative D. c. Pickett will be a
candidate to succeed himself in the general
assembly, and, so far as is now known, will
have no opposition-something very unus-
ual in the county, and which must be high
ly gratifying to him and his friends. Mr..
Pickett has made a splendid representative.
Punctual in attendance upon the sessions,
watchful of all matters coming up for con-
sideration, taking active part in the pro-
likeable personality he renders effective ser
vice in the legislative body of the state. His
experience better equips him to satisfactory
ly discharge the duties of the office than
ever before.

A Huge Grape Vine.

The scuppernong grape of North and
South Carolina is one of the most tremen-
dous growing grape vines IN the world, COM
peting even with the huge California grapes.
looks more like big tree, is believed to
have been growing during the time of Sir
Walter Raleigh and may even be 500 years
old. Capt Amadus, in 1886, upon his return
to England from Roanoke island, reported
to Raleigh that of the huge grapes he saw
Sin the world the like abundance is not to
be found, and myself having seen the grapes
of Europe l find such difference as were
incredible to be written" This scuppernong
is still growing hale and vigorous on Roam
oke island not far from the place where
Capt. Amadus and his colOnists landed and
doubtless was there when he for the first
time unfurled on the island the flag of old
England to the breezes of the New World.
The scuppernong grows rapidly, being a
wild grape free from the various grape dis
eases which necessitates constant attention
and spraying in the ordinary vineyard The
fruit is the largest of all grapes, each grape
measuring from two to three inches in cir
cumference-as large as a plum. This old
vine yields an income of from $3.50 to $500
a year, always bearing a tremendous crop
of grapes, worth about three cents pound.
The scuppernong seems to thrive only in
the Carolinas. Transplanted to California
or other climes it languishes and bears poor
ly, but on its native heath it outgrows and
outbears all other grapes

PILING 1T ON.
From the Dalton Citizen.

Editor Herring, of the Triton Gaz-
cite, thus speaketh parable"
The editor who is told that the gov
eminent may be forced to curtail the
output of newsprint, and to cut down
his supply, necessitating an issue of re-
duced size, is not in mood to open
with eager interest forty letters a day
from government press bureaus, each
one offering him urgent matter for
publication"
More is demanded of and less con-
sideration is given the newspaper than
any other business in the world The
editor is the nations good thing"-a
free horse that everybody is riding
mighty hard these days. The truth is,
with greatly increased rates of postage,
the PROBABILITY of government regula-
tons cutting down their earning power
through a reduction in size, and an I'M
precedented demand for free space,
they're certainly piling it on the news
papers these days.-Dawson News.
There is great deal of truth in the above
statements. The newspapers and magazines
are entitled to no special consideration from
the government, while, on the other hand
they are not instruments that should be i'm
posed upon. The mere fact that newspapers
and magazines are mediums of education
and enlightenment should appeal at once to
the fairness and good sense of official Wash
ngton, as well as to the people at large
In Canada the second-class postal rates
are lower than they are in this country, and
there is no deficit as a result 1t is a refiec-
ton on the efficiency of our postoffice de-
partment to say we can not handle mail as
efficiently, or as at small cost, as our neigh
Dor across the northern border.
The Citizen believes that congress should,
as a matter of justice, at least delay the
operation of this law until after the war.
There is not Observation-Disclosures news
paper or magazine-of general circulation
that is not doing its part for the govern
ment during these trying times They paved
the way for the success of liberty bond is
sues. They have made possible success for
the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. drives, and
there is not a single day but mail comes
from the publicity departments of the gov
asking that help be rendered some
cause in connection with the war. And this
is done without remuneration save that
which comes from the satisfaction of duty
we'll performed.
In view of this fact, and the further fact
that whatever additional cost is saddled on
the publications will be passed to the ult-
mate consumer, it does seem that the govern
ment should hold up on the postage increase
until after the war at least.

SOUNDS GOOD.

Speaking of campaign funds, which have
become a matter of more or less acrimoni-
Gus controversy between some of the other
candidates for the senate, Hon. H. H. Dean
says:
Il am going to pay my own expenses
and will not accept any contributions
from any source. If | cannot get the Of
flee without buying it l do not want it.
The people of Georgia will not stand
for corrupted ballot"
That sounds good in these days of rumors
and counter rumors of large sums of money
to spend in a political canvass. There
is no question that in recent years there has
been too much money spent in campaigns
for the higher offices, money contributed
by wealthy partisans or interests with axes
to grind, and if Mr.. Dean can break up
the practice he will have rendered the state
a signal service whether or not his ambition
to represent it at Washington is gratifed.
Mr.. Dean is a sturdy, self made Georgian
of the highest type, an open and a strong
fighter, and there is no doubt that as the
campaign progresses he will be an increas-
ingly important factor.

treatment is continued for Il iCDg time
the animal may become permanently
stunted.
Stunning an animal as the result OF
insufficient food may be only tempo
rary condition. An animal does not
lose it's capacity to grow as the result
Of stunting. f. B. MumforA, dean Of
the Missouri College Of Agriculture,
cites feeding test at the Missouri ex-
pertinent station in which an animal
that had been stunted by poor feeding
to such an extent that it weighed only
200 pounds at twelve months of age,
gained S41 pounds during the second
year. Only Sc pounds of grain for
each pound of gain made were re-
quired on this steer stunted during the
first twelve months. A steer that had
been generously fed during the first
twelve months of his life gained only
500 pounds during the second twelve
months, and this gain was more expen-
sive than the gain made on the stunted
steer. The amount of grain required
to make pound Of gain on the we'll
fed steer was 9.9 pounds.
It is certain that stunning an animal
even for so long a period as twelve
months does not destroy it's capacity
to grow.
