the success of the Red Cross roll call
and large membership among the
colored population IS expected. Eva Ellis
ton and Rachel Adkins are managing the
campaign among the colored women,
Many of these women did beautiful work
in Red Cross workrocms during the war
and are glad to show Eeir appreciation OF
what the Red Cross has meant to their
families by lending a helping hand in the
campaign that will bring such great value
to the entire community
The managers of the moving picture
shows have contributed fine publicity IN
all the drives during the past two years,
and have generously consented to run
slides every day this week, stressing the
need of furtherins the Red Cross work.
On Friday evening a dinner was given
at the Admission Inn by Red Cross man
ayers of the roll call and drive Inspira-
tional talks brought renewed enthusiasm

eral public health programme. IT IS the
purpose of the Red Cross to act in CO.

official agencies and with other volunteer
societies where welfare work is already
organized. Elsewhere IL is to supply the
needs of communities not vet organized

visible expression of the social will Of the
American people.

Losing a Railroad

w HEN THE GOVERNMENT took ever the railroads
Wv of the country they did not make clean sweep of
the matter but left many of the smaller roads which
were thus cut off from traffic arrangements with the
larger lines. This blow, and with the
changed conditions brought about by control
number of these unfortunate roads were thrown into
bankruptcy.
Within the state of Georgia existed number of these
small independent lines and of these was one line 90 miles
long, extending from Collins through a number of good
towns to Daren the Atlantic. This was peculiarly
hard hit by the governments action and thrown into
the hands of receiver.
Still under the continued adverse conditions this line
continued to lose money The courts ordered it's sale
but as these conditions still existed no reasonable offer
could be had for the property and after repeated at
tempts the sale of the road ordered with the
vision that the purchaser would not be asked
the property but that might be up and unked
NOW this has been accomplished One of the thriving
towns which this will deprive of railroad is Redsve
IN latna county, and from the Tattna Journal of last
week we clip the following brief story.
Yesterday marked the close of activities for the Geor
gla Coast Piedmont railroad. Trains have ceased on
Grafton agents have been checked out and the road put
in the discard generally.
Since November 1st no freight has been accepted on
tn road and all trains have been operated only for the
purpose OF moving shipping from connecting lines and at
stations This cleared up by last Thursday and no
trains have been operated since"
we can easily see the tragedy in this for the people
along the line of the road Many of them no doubt nut
money into the building of the road originally lost their
money when the road failed and are now to have the
road dug up and removed

THE DRAINAGE NATIONAL
ORGAN

Georgia and the south have both
been honored in the selection. recent
ly announced, of the Southern Drain
age Journal as the official organ for
the National Drainage Congress.
This organization, which has chosen
Atlanta for its national convention in
1920, is not only one of the most
valuable in present day American
progress, but it is an organization
that embraces members in practically
every state in the union.
The choice, therefore, of south
ern publication to carry, the voice of
the national association, is deserved
recognition not only of the publica-
ton itself, but of the south as the
leading section of the nation in mat
tiers pertaining to drainage.
The Southern Drainage Journal is
as yet in its infancy, but it is growing
like lusty baby, indeed, and in be-
coming the national organ for drain
age men and drainage matters. it is
about ready to reach mans estate.
The magazine is a monthly, published
at Marietta, Ga.-Atlanta Journal.

Notions are great deceivers because
they are always being mistaken for
facts, and they are about this much
alike: A fact is mental egg full
of meat and has wonderful POSSIBLE
ties of development; a notion is an
she'll from which no amount of in
cubation can bring forth anything
but disappointment. We have for
years cherished the notion that the
more acres scratched over, the more
long green would be realized. But
now the old she'll is cracked and we
are beginning to see the mistake and
to find that there is more money in
raising forty bushels of corn on one
acre than in raising forty bushels of
corn on ten acres; more money in
raising bale of cotton on one acre
than in raising one bale on four acres,
aside from the question of rent. Only
a few years ago, forty acres to the
pillow was considered necessary: now
the average is below thirty, and some
fine day five acres will support a
family and make good job of it
without working them so hard that
the children can't go to school.-Ir-

Two hundred dollar peanuts GER
tainly saved the situation in this sec
ton this year. Mitchell County has
never known 3 complete crop failure,
but the combinations of weather con-
ditions, visitations of pests and un-
reliable labor came nearer causing a
failure this year than was ever be-
fore known. But in spite of the short
crop, most of our farmers appear to
be coming out on the right side of
the ledger. 1t doesn't take many
tons of peanuts at $4,000 ton to
wipe out the store account and guano
bills, and many of these would have
gone unpaid if cotton had been the
only thing the farmer could have
looked to for money this year, for
