TIME TO WAKE UP

The Commercial Club of Mariana
has set it's hand 10 a most compre-
hensive program for the year 1919.
At the meeting of the club on Mon
day night of this week the members
went on record as favoring an all
year round no fence law for all OF
Lee county in order to encourage
the live stock industry and for the
further purpose of saving the farm
ers thousands of dollars in the pur-
chase of fencing To still further
promote the production of more live
stock the club requested the passage
of a law imposing heavy tax on
dogs in order that the sheep and
goats may be protected from this
most serious menace.
But perhaps the most important OF
all the matters discussed at the
meeting Monday night is the propo-
sition to Join hands with the land
owners in the eastern section OF the
county in the construction of free
bridge over the st. Francis river
and the building of a system or
hard surface roads TO the bottoms.
The Corrier-Index is firmly convinc-
ed that no single project would yield
a greater measure OF prosperity not
only to Mariana but the land own
ers in the bottoms than the con-
struction of a bridge across the st.
Francis river and the building OF
hard surface roads through the bot
toms. The territory east of Marian
ma is an empire in itself and its
riches have hardly been touched.
Few of the business men of Marian
ma realize the vastness of the re-
sources that are within the reach OF
the city. and because they have not
informed themselves they have not
extended the support and encourage
ment to the bottom people they so
much need in their effort TO help
Mariana. No matter what the cost
may be, we are confident the invest
ment necessary to bridge the St.
Francis river and build system OF
good roads penetrating the territory
in the bottoms will yield big returns
within less than two years. If the
Commercial Club does nothing this
year except get behind this move
ment and succeeds, through cooper
alton with the bottom land owners.
in building the bridge and roads, 1t
will have made Marianna's future
solid for half a century

THE RAILROADS

Just now the question whether the
management of the American rail
roads should remain with the govern
ment or revert to the owners is dis
cussed far and wide. Cogent rea
sons are advanced by advocates OF
either course.
But in whose hands soever the
management stands. many improve
ments are needed for the sake of the
public.
We have all endured willingly and
cheerfully the inconvenience. delays
and curtailment of service which the
war made necessary. But now, real
izing that the business development
of the country depends upon good
railroad facilities. we ask for re
turn to pre-war conditions.
Better transportation and freight
ing will assist in the readjustment Of
business from coast to coast. The1t
should be repairs of many lines, re
placement of rolling stock, improved
service generally.
The primary object of railroads is
to serve the people, and any con
dition of ownership or management
are secondary matters.

young manhood believed that in en-
tering the war it was launched in
the hottest of all crusades.
Religion is often interviewer with
this manifestation, but it is not es-
sentially a religious manifestation.
Its root is in the principle of liberty
and the willingness to sacrifice all to
gain this principle which founded
America. This may lie dormant in
the hearts of the people for years

Every nation worthy of the name

The nation may seem immersed in

That the Game 10 an Old One 10 Sure,

Discussion of possible changes In
the Technology of tennis naturally in
cludes the name itself; and here there
are many possible origins. The game,
In one form or another. Is very old.
The Greeks knocked ball back and
forth and called the exercise s"phen-
MIS-" for which the Roman name was
"teniludium." "Phennis'' and "teni-
ludium" were ancestors probably Of
the similar French sport in the middle
ages, and modern tennis may, for that
matter, have been named from the
province of Tennois, where this game
was exceedingly popular. Possibly,
but improbably, the name Is derived
from the French 'tenez," in the sense
Of "get ready" Deuce" is generally
accepted as another form Of the
French "deux," but "racquets" has
several possible sources, the most
likely perhaps being the old medic
val word "rachette." meaning the palm
Of the hand, when the game was
played like modern handball. Chaucer
and Shakespeare both knew the game
In England, and, whether or not they
played it, had doubtless looked on
with satisfaction, as did Queen Eliza
