A FINE SHOWING.

The states of Georgia, Tennessee, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Florida, COM
prising what was known as the southern di-
vision, made a fine showing in the recent
Red Cross subscription campaign. Their
quota of 100000 was nearly doubled,
the receipts announced at the Atlanta head
quarters being $6,009,5 500.
The country as whole made generous
response to this appeal, topping the quota
of $10O,OOO,OOO by some S44,OO0,OO0. But
if the entire nation had answered as the
southeast did the Red Cross fund would have
practically reached 2OO,0OO,OOO, and would
have been ample to meet the great demands
that will be made on the organization the
coming year.
With much of the work the Red Cross is
doing we are all familiar, but new evil
dences of the extent and character of its
service are continually cropping out. The
value of their service cannot be calculated
What we all know is that the Red Cross is
doing an inestimable work, and the dollars
we have invested in it are the best dollars
we have ever spent

NOTED INDIAN PASSES.

Little note was made by the press of the
passing at Fort Yates, N. D., of John Grass,
head chief of all the Sioux Indian tribes
at the ripe age of 70 years. Yet Chief
Grass was a leader who had to be consid-
cred by both red men and white men at a
time not entirely effaced from the minds
of northwest homesteaders His demise re-
moves one of the commanding, historical
figures of the once powerful Sioux, in real
ity almost the last impressive chieftain of
that proud and widespread race. But he
goes to the happy hunting ground without
much heralding, for we find in an eastern
periodical just three lines granted to the
event. How apt this appears to express the
worlds attitude to weakened and vanish
ing branch of the human family.

Negro Hegira and the Church.
From the Methodist Year Book.

The exodus of 100000 negroes from the
South northward has created an unprece-
denied problem in religious work among ne
groes. 1t is depicting many of our negro
churches in the south, as is seen from the
following numbers who left from a few
charges on the Holly Springs district. upper
Mississippi conference: Oxford circuit, rs;
Water Valley, 40; Warden circuit, 1872; Sal
lis circuit, IS; Grenada circuit, rs. This is
typical of the depletion which many ne
gro churches in the south are undergoing
The problem of conserving work in many
places is serious. In the north a survey made
by the board of home missions and church
extension of the Methodist Episcopal church
shows problem not only among the ne
groes, but a serious social condition con-
fronting the white population. The sudden
coming of $4,000 negroes in Chicago, 10000
in Pittsburg, $4,000 in Detroit, 10000 in
Philadelphia and proportionate numbers in
other cities has put the church of Jesus
Christ to severe test. The City Society of
Philadelphia erected huge tent for SER
vices during the summer and other organi-
cations of the Methodist Episcopal church
are aiding in the desperate effort to bring
the church up to its responsibility in other
places.

HIT THE BULLS EYE.

Governor Dorsey's reply to a society of
Augusta negroes that urged some expression
from him as to unfolding the courts has
met with almost universal approval The
governor really made center shot, and
rung the bell. Lynchings, at all times and
under all circumstances, is to be condemn
ed. 1t is a horrible, an outrageous trampling
upon law. But so is the brutal crime of the
beast in human form that provokes it, and
the protest of the negro race will not have
weight as long as they decry the swift and
unlawful punishment of a brute who has
befouled some pure woman and have not
a word of condemnation for his beastly
and devilish act4

TWO ALTERNATIVES.

Perhaps the famous philosophy of the
poilu might be applied to the American and
his coal supply. If he doesn't get it now he
will nave two alternatives. Either he will
get it later on or he won't get it at all. If
he gets it later there will be no need to wor-
ry. If he DOESN'T get it all he will face two
alternatives. Either he will freeze to death
or he won't. If he doesn't freeze to death
there will be no need to worry. If he
freezes he will face two alternatives Eth
er he will go to one place or the other. If
he goes to the one place he will know only
bliss, so there will be no need to worry. If
he goes to the other place he certainly will
not need the coal.

UP AGAINST 1T.

In Europe the public is fortunate if it
gets four-page or six-page newspaper to
keep advised of what is going on. This may
happen in America
Great plants making paper on which
newspapers are printed are being taken
over by the government, others are being
shut down to save power that it may be di-
verified to government plants, as at Niagara,
and the reserve supply of print paper is
getting scarcer all the time
So far American newspapers have been
able to get by, but the news print situation
is more precarious today than it has ever
been before. This applies both to price and
supply. With greatly increased rates of
postage, to become effective July 1st the
paper supply being rapidly reduced and al
ready high prices mounting higher the news
papers are surely up against it.

Peanut Butter.

Peanut butter is being made with success
by large baking company in Gainesville,
Fla. The peanut flour used is made from
peanut cake left after oil extraction. 1t
contains satisfactory percentage of fat,
and is said to have almost twice the nitro
genous food value of dried beef-44 per
cent for peanut flour, against % per cent.
for dried beef
One-ffth peanut flour to four-fifths wheat
flour produces balanced ration, supplying
necessary ingredients furnished by bread
and meat in human diet. Peanut flour is
said to be readily digestible, wholesome and
palatable, and the Florida concern believes
it will be able to market it at a price below
that of wheat flour, pound for pound

THE. GOVERNOR

AS this is written Governor Dorsey has
not given out the promised statement as to
his intention in regard to second term.
Whatever his decision may be the governor
must be very highly gratifed man, for
the mere intimation that he might retire
at the end of his first term brought flood
of protests from all classes of people in ev-
cry section of Georgia, showing the high
esteem in which he is held and the uni
versal satisfaction he is giving as the states
chief executive. 1t is a high tribute to him
as man and as an official, such a tribute
as we've never before known to any man
in the governors Office, and should be ample
reward for any financial loss or other hard
ship which might result to him should he con-
sent to accept reelection. The people want
him to succeed himself, and will be greatly
disappointed should he decide otherwise

CARPETING A RIVERS FLOOR.

From the Saturday Globe.
Near Memphis, Tenn, the Mississippi has
long been trying to carve new channel fo1
itself But the swerving of the river from
its old course would leave Memphis high
and dry This would never do; the river
had to be disciplined, and no less authority
than Uncle Sam took the matter in hand
His engineers sized up the situation and de-
cided upon a novel scheme-carpeting the
rivers floor. Great woven willow mats
some of which were a mile long and zoe
feet wide, were weighted, sunk to the bot
tom of the stream and pinned into place
with piles.

Britain Praises Our Soldiers.

'No review of the week would he
complete without mention of the fine
exploit of the American troops in the
capture of Cantigny. 1t was am extreme
ly well conducted operation, and in view
of the fact that the troops were untried
it is notable that they not only captur-
ed their objective, but held it. 1t is al
ways much more difficult to consolidate
and retain a position than to capture it

SHERIFF DISCOVERS A LAW.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Grady county's sheriff discovered the
other day that the statute books of Georgia
hold a law which places a ban on any boy
or girl under sixteen driving an automobile
on the public highways, and he has set about
to uphold the law. His action probably
comes under the head of "precedents," and
doubtless will subject him to more or less
criticism, but no one will presume to say
he is not doing his duty. Incidentally, there
are other laws in Georgia with which some
officials haven't even bowling acquaint-
ance.
