THE WAR IN GEORGIA.

There has been fresh outburst of
the War of the Sixties in the territory
ranging from Millen to Savannah, and
all the world has been given due and
public notice that when the editor of
the Millen News meets the managing
editor of the Savannah Press there will
be a hostile demonstration reminis-
cent of the worst days of Seven Pines,
Gettysburg and Bull Run.
The Savannah Press was displeased
because the public schools of Millen
combined their celebration of Georgia
Day on February ~ with an observ-
ance of the anniversary of the birth
of Lincoln, thereby precipitating a
lively controversy which has finally
led the Millen News editor to the fol-
lowing bombastic discharge:
The editor of the Savannah
Press can romp on the politicians,
the superintendent of our public
schools and the men of Millen all
he wants to, but whenever he
takes a shot at the women of Mil
len he can just put it down that
there is one man in Millen that he
will have to lick the first time he
meets him. However, if he will
apologize for what he said about
the Daughters of the Confederacy
and the school celebrating Lin
coins birthday and Georgia Day
jointly we will let him off this
time.
Not at all daunted by that storm of
shot and she'll the Savannah Press
reioins with the suggestion that on
April 26 the schools of Millen com
bine their Memorial Day exercises
with program paying tribute to
Gen. Grant.
OF course, the argument is all bas-
ed on the idea that the Savannah
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1918-03-03

Press has gratuitously offended the
good ladies of Millen, by impunging
their patriotism, their intelligence, and
their sense of propriety. But we are
sure no such affront was ever intend
ed The Savannah Press, apparently
unable as yet to view Lincoln in his
true perspective as really great
American, belonging to history and to
the ages, literally sees "Stars and
Bars" at the very thought of justice
being done to his memory ON occas-
ion when the birth of Georgia is be-
ing celebrated. =.
OF course, the Confederacy is ten
der and sacred memory with all
Southerners. We cannot forget that
it's flag of Stars and Bars was once
the orifamme of the South, to be fol-
lowed to death if need be, like the
helmet of Navarre-that even today it
represents our mothers tears and our
fathers blood, the honor of their home
and the glory of his manhood The
real Southerner, young or old, regards
an insult to that Flag as personal
ipdignity and stain on its memory
as reflection on his own character.
But in this time when there is
reither north nor south, nor east nor
west, but one united land of the free
and home of the brave, fighting side
by side under a common banner which
means more to all of us than the most
sacred of sentiments, it were idle and
foolish, even among ourselves, to
fight over again the most terrible fra
tracidaI srife this continent has ever
known.
With due regard for the feelings of
each, and with, we are sure, the power
to dispassionate1y consider and appre-
ciate the merits of the entire conten-
ton, we respectfully tender our SER
vices as an umpire to arrange an ar
mistice and ultimately a treaty, with
out rancor or regret, between the bel
l1cose editor of the Millen News and
the doughty director of the Savannah
Fress.

GAMBLING IN GRAIN.

A newspaper subscriber writes the
following letter of inquiry:
Who is supposed to be the pro-
per agency to fix the prices of
necessary foodstuffs-Mr. Hoover
or the Chicago Board of Trade?
Kindly note the fireworks in corn
and oats on that board for the
past two weeks, and at a time
when the public is requested to
use the products of both these ce-
reals in place of wheat and also
when the receipts of both are run
ming more than heavy.
Every person in the country
with real blood is anxious and
willing to cooperate with MIR.
Hoover. But there are many who
cannot see why these grains
should be allowed to be speculat-
ed in, when wheat is not, as long
as they are to be used as substi-
tutes for wheat
1t really is a mystery why the ma
tional food administration has per
mitted the substitute wheat cereals tt
be exploited by the spectators.
If they are to take the place O
wheat, then they should be subjected
to the same protection as wheat, ant
speculation in them should be prohib
tied
