Georgia Proudly WeIcomes
Admwai William S. benson

n LII Georgia joins heartily with macon
n in welcoming home her distinguished
son, Admiral William S. Benson. AS
en- outstanding figure in the history of the
World War and one to whom is due a brim-
ming measure of credit for Americas achieve
meIt in the great conflict, Admiral Benson
would be greeted with high enthusiasm in
any region of his own or of the Allied coun-
tries which he might honor with Il visit.
His native Commonwealth receives him not
only with admiratiOn for his illustriOUs SCI "
ices, but also with a personal warmth of
friendship and PRIDE
Years though it has been since he was in
Georgia save for brief sojourns, he n2s never
ceased to be remembered IS one to the man
ner born. Here amongst the people whom
his youth knew neighbors and comrades
ard fellow citizens, his career has been fol
lowed with peculiar interest and ever-dhtpen-
ing qualification. His record of nearly ttty
years in the Navy, during which pericf
Americas greatest progress and greatest ex-
plOits a sea power have been scored, will
ever stand a~?ong the cherished chapters in
the story of what Gcorgians have done.
Especially memorable through all years to
rome will be his services as Chief Of Naval
Operations in the late wcr. In that most re-
sponsible and most important post OF Naval
duty, Admiral Benson acquitted himself
with an ability which was nothing less than
genius. His was a major part-the max
imum part. we might almost say-In the
feat Of transporting an army of two million
Americans to France-all in a few short
months. without mshap on the perilous way.
and with power for decisiveness that
brought the world struggle to an end.
Such record deserves the highest honor
which naval service can be accorded. The
Journal warmly seconds the suggestion made
by Mr.. Harry Hodgson through a letter ap-
pearing elsewhere on this page, that the peo-
pie of Georgia exert their utmost influence
toward securing from the Naval Committee
of the Senate favorable action on the meas
ure making this splendid servant of his
country an Admiral for life. as President
Wilson and Secretary Daniels have rec
omended. 1t is incumbent upon Georgians,
as Mr. Hodgson so2sonably urges, ito see
that Senators know that we want this
gre2t honor to come to fellow citizen"
Meanwhile, The Journal be~s the priv
ilege of extend ng to Admiral Benson. in its

tors; and far and away the largest prefer
ence went to General Leonard Wood. But in

Protect the Interests of
The Southern Ports.

n INTERESTS of vast Importance to the
Southern and the Middle Western States
are represented in the resolutions of the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce opposing anv
disposition of the Government merchant ma
rine that would stop or hinder the deve!op-
ment of trade lines maintained from
Southern ports or likely to be projected from
them.
After pointing out how essential it is to
the prosperity OF both, regions to have free
access TO overseas markets, the resolutions
direct attention TO certain proposals which
might result in the grave embarrassment or
even d'scontinuance of lines recently estab-
lissed. with the aid of the Shipping Board
between South Atlantic and Gulf outlets and
divers foreign markets, notably in the West
Indies and Central and South America.
Should that unfortunate situation come
about foreign-bound commerce from the Mid
die West which finds it's shortest and al
together most advantageous route through
ports of the 81 nth Atlantic and the Gulf
won d be forced back into the arb trary
courses and over-crOwded terminals of the
North Atlantic; and at the same time the
South would be deprived of those enrich ny
tides of tr@de whch are her due. Hence the
justice and the Importance of the resolutions
Pc it resolved. That it is the sense
or the Board of Directors of the Allan
ia Chamber of Commerce that the Uni
ted Stotes government make no disDosi-
ton OF the sArs owned by it andto~er
ated by the Shipping Board that will, in
any wise initiate against these trade
routes already established or prevent
the further DEVELOPMENT and mainte-
nance of other trade routes to the des-
tirct!ons mentioned. and particularly we
call upon our senators and congressmen
to throw the weight of their united
influence agansl any bill or measure
looking to the sale Of any of these shins
in these trade routes until the same
have been fully established and devolop-
ed.
This is a matter of great practical mo-
ment to the merchants. manufacturers and
farmers of the South as well as to those of
the Middle West. 1t is to be expected, there
fore. that the Senators and Representatives
OF these regions will unite to combat any
proposed Legislation that would have the eff
feet. even remotely. of destroying or handi-
Gaping the foreign trade development which
a free and justly ad nin;stered merchant
marine makes possible. We bcsDeak for this
important issue the special interest of the
Senators from Georgia and neighhoring
States, in confidence that 1t will be fully
forthcoming.

IN Automobiie to Every
T70enty- Four american

" ERTAIN striking figures recently given
i out on the subject of automobiles
would tempt an easychair philosopher
to deal of speculation. In the United States,
it appears, there is an automobile to an aver
age Of every twenty-four persons; in Canada,
one to every fifty; in England one to two hun
dred; in Denmark one to three hundred; in
France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland and
Germany, one to four hundred; and in Italy
one to each thousand. In South America as
whole the proportion is approximately one
automobile to one thousand four hundre d
and thirty inhabitants; in Portu gal, is one to
every sixteen hundred and ninety; and in
Spain, one to nineteen hundred; and in Rus
STA, one to five thousand.
Are we to infer, then. that we nay rightly
gauge a peoples wealth and progress by the
possession of motor vehicles? A crude
manner of stating the truth this certain y
would be. if indeed it GENES near reality at
all. Evidently, however, there is common
ground between the conditions that make for
general prosperity and those manifest in the
extensive ownership of automobiles The
adherence between the United States and
Russia could hardly be indicated more plain
~ than In the circumstance that here one in
habltant in twenty-four has an automobile
Whle there it is only one in five thousa1 d.
And the diferen7e thus eg:stered runs far
deeper than things economic; it reflects total
life and history.

SOUTHWEST GEORGIA

The agricultural possibilities of southwest
Georgia are almost unlimited and are certain
ly unsurpassed by those Of any other section.
Yesterday our Moutrie correspondent told or
a Colquitt county farmer who had sod syrup
rom one acre of suga. cane for six hundred
and fifty dollars The cane produced five
hundred gallons. Land in this section plant
ed in any of large number of marketable
products can, if well cultivated, be male to
pay for itself in one year. The Herald re-
calls having published about two years ago
the story of young farmer in Worth county
who bought a farm of something like Two
hundred and fifty acres, paying $1,000 downs
and made more than enough cotton and other
marketable stuff on it the first year to more
than wipe out his debt and leave him sutfi-
cient corn. meat and other foodstLHs to run
him the next year Good land can now be-
purchased in this splendid agricultural st c.,
ton for from $40 to $40 an acre. the price,
varying according to location, but it will got
be possible to buy it at these prices much
longer.
