EOUALISTS ROW.

There is lesson to thinking people in the
split-up of the socialist party at their recent
convention Every one of the socialist dele
gates at the beginning was for equality, yet
there was row before the equalists got
the business of the meeting started. Each
Neither cared for the feelings of the other.
Each dent the limit in disposing of the 9TH
err, each using fair means or foul in their
efforts. There was no more equality, no
more brotherly love than would be found
at a joint meeting of the vets and drys.

SrnithvilIe Dinners.
From the Savannah Press.

Announcement is made that the famous
chicken pie hotel at Smithville has been
sold. 1t has been bought by Mr.. j. B. Fite,
we are advised, and he is going to make a
number of changes in it. When the hotel
was kept by the McAfees it established a
reputation for two things. 1t served chick
zen pie for dinner every day. Three hun
dred and sixty-five times every year GER
tain number of chickens were sacrificed to
prepare this delightful dish. Transients who
stopped at the hotel for dinner looked for
the delicacy and regular boarders never
tired of it. Smithvile is a railroad dinner
point Travellers on the Southwestern rail-
road and other lines converging there al
ways had time to get a bite to eat at Smith
vile. And in the good old chicken pie days
these dinners were worth waiting for.
There was another charm about the din
ners at the McAfee house twenty-five years
ago. Scuppernong wine was served at all
dinners. 1t went well with chicken pie.
Guests poured it out in goblets from de-
canters and drank their fill. 1t was served
with remarkable prodigality. 1t took the
place of water and ice tea as beverage.
There must have been an almost ineXhaust-
ible supply of it somewhere, for it was serv-
ed with freedom that today would cause
the propretors to be placed under arrest
These two things made the McAfee house
known all over the state. 1t was worth a
trip to Smithvile just to get one of these
midday meals. We guess, however the
chicken pie has been outlawed by the high
cost of living and the scarcity of chickens,
has long since been outlawed
The price of these sumptuous meals?
They were pretty expensive those days,
neighbor. You couldn't get one, by heck,
without separating yourself from more than
fo' bits
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1919-09-23
AFTER THE ROBBERS.

The senate has passed with slight amend
ments the house bill providing a prison SEN
tence for profteers The difference between
the two branches of congress are so slight
that they can be adjusted readily in confer
ence.
When the law is completed it will then
be up to the department of justice to make
good it's pledge to the people to find and
prosecute those who are guilty of charging
excessive profits. The law was asked for by
the attorney general, and the drastic pro-
visions of two years in the penitentiary are
creations of his own.
The ardor with which the fight on high
prices was launched has cooled materially.
The people expected immediate reductions.
They have been disappointed. 1t is impossi-
BILE to find any reductions worthy of men
ton In many instances prices have advanc-
ed. There was a considerable quantity of
what is aptly, though inelegantly, called hot
air in the first promises of relief. But the
people took the promises at what they said,
failing to account for the political imitation.
They are now being told economy and in
dustry and the elimination of extravaganza
are the potential elements in reduced prices.
The people did not want these things They
wanted to keep their extravagances, their
high living, their excessive spending, but
they wanted them at reduced prices.
If there is profteering, and there is no
question but there is, the attorney general
now has the law, and he previously has been
granted the money, to find it and punish
those who are guilty.
If the profteering is not eliminated from
the causes of high prices the government at
Washington will be to blame. They cannot
shut the eyes of the people by general prom
ises and glittering hypothesis if they fail to
deliver the goods. They have been given all
they wanted.
Proiteering is an artificial imitation of
prices, and does not depend upon supply and
demand, foreign trade, the signing of the
treaty or the restoration of order through
out the world 1t is simple case of public
robbery privately arrived at

She of the Golden Hair.

Softly the breeze through the tree top is
signing,
Sadly the hooking bird sings in the dell,
The bright-colored butterflies eastward are
flying,
Summer is bidding the roses farewell.
Goldenrod bright on the hillside is gleam-
ing,
Sumachs are Haunting their crimson so
rare,
Bringing old memories to haunt all my
dreaming
Memories of she of the golden hair.
Eyes of the blue that the ocean discloses
When rippled by breezes that blow from
the south,
Brow like the snow, and the reddest of roses
Left their bright stain on her beautiful
mouth.
Springtime and autumn each have their
glory, i
But autumn will always to me seem most
fair,
Because it was then that life's sweetest old
story
first told to she of the golden hair
September fairy hands slowly are knelling
Over dead summer low sweet refrain;
Sadly l dream with my wistful heart swell
ing
With thoughts of the past with its sorrow
and pain.
Softly and sadly the breezes are blowing,
Breaking my heart with its burden of care
Driven to wander forever just knowing
love none but she of the golden hair
Dawson, Ga. w. T. BARFIELD.
