Oriental and

Providing Pronounced

Oriental and Chinese Rugs are
hand-woven, as you know, each
one having its own value and its
own individuality, therefore
names alone mean nothing, the
rugs may be mediocre or ele-
giant. Good judgment, then,
would dictate that these Rugs
be seen, and we feel sure you
will appreciate their value.

tillation from the animal and vege-
table remains of past geological
epochs, and is nearly the same prod

of the heat of fires, the internal heat
of the earth, aided perhaps by chem
zeal decomposition, has caused its for

How Macaroni Cot Name.

THE origin of macaroni dates back
to one of the kings of Naples who
constantly taxed the inventive power
of his cook. One day dish was put
on the kings table. of which he high
ly approved, and upon inquiry as to
the expense of the new dish, the cook
mentioned a sum which in those days
was thought high; whereupon the king
exclaimed: ''Bouni ma caroni," Good
but very dear" Hence the name.

SECRET DIPLOMACY.

The removal of the ban on publicity from
the deliberations of the peace conference
do not, as many. infer destroy secret t;plo-
macy. 1t is not even step in that direc-
ton Secret diplomacy, as it has been con-
Quoted in the past the principles o. which
are inimical to the peace of he Grid, con-
sists of secretly made treaties ,,tvtc, ma
tions which give the contracting parties ad-
vantages dangerous to those nations not
recognized in such agreements, though the
terms may be in violation of the implied
rights of such nations. Thus, while the
powers of Europe conferred over the Balkan
question forty years ago Great Britain,
which was represented at the conference
entered into a secret treaty with Turkey
by which the latter ceded the island of Cy-
prus to England, and in return England be-
came the protector of the Ottoman govern
ment That treaty was made without the
knowledge or consent of Russia or France
or Italy, and has proven an irritant in the
disposition of any near eastern problem
since it was executed
Open diplomacy contemplates that any
treaty entered into by any government shall
be presented to all civilized governments,
not for their approval or rejection. but for
their information. 1t contemplates such no.
tice before the treaty is executed so that
nations whose rights ani interests are icon
ardized by its terms Hay enter a protest

WHAT "BOLSHEVIKr' MEANS.

Many folks still inquire about the pro-
nunciation and meaning of the word "bol-
sheviki," which seems now to be incorporat-
ed in the English language.
'Bolsheviki" is a Russian word, literally
meaning ''the most" 1t was applied to the
extreme socialists in Russia because they de-
manded the most in the way of radical legis-
lation. Their program embodied the great
est number of ultra-radical and faddish
ideas.
The Russian pronunciation of the word
follows very nearly the English spelling, if
it were divided into sylables "bol-shev-i-ki,"
with the accent on the third syllable.
Properly there is no such word as "bol-
shevikism," but it was coined and now is
commonly used to express extreme radical
political views, and is pronounced generally
''bol-she-vik-ism," with the accent on the
third syllable.

AMERICAS WAR EXPENSE.

The treasury experts at the close of the
year completed the computation of the ex-
penses incurred by the United States in its
conduct of the war. The amount expended
during last year was 24,5OO, 100000. From
the time war was declared in April, 1917,
until the end of that year the expenses were
SIS, 100000, 900, making a total of $42, $780,
600, 1000. From this should be deducted $4,-
150,000,000 loaned the allies, which will be
repaid. This leaves the total expenditure
for war purposes $38,410, 100000.
The expenses are not dropping since the
signing of the armsitice, as would naturally
be expected. The expenses for December
amounted approximately to $2,100,0 100000,
against $1,935, 100000 for November. They
will continue heavy so long as the army is
maintained abroad and while the work of
bringing the soldiers home is under way.
Loans to the allies are still being made. Dur
ing December they amounted to $450,000,-
OOO
The prospect for heavy expenses during
the present year have already assumed a
certainty. The revenue bill now pending in
conference between the two houses of con-
gress is adjusted to raise about $6,OO0,000,-
600 in money; while a $5,000,O00,000 loan
will be made in the spring. This will pro-
vide, with the incidental remnants left from
last year. $1,OOO,OOO,OOO a month for war
expenditures.
But as the expenses of munitions and
ordnance are reduced to fraction of what
they were and the rat holes in such things
as the fabricated shipyards are not being
filled with treasury obligations this amount
probably will be sufficient

STATE HIGHWAYS.

The Dawson News is owned by
member of the prison commission of
Georgia. The prison commission is a
part of the road building commission of
the state. The Dawson paper reflects the
views of Mr.. Rainey SO what it has to
say about Georgia thoroughfares is i'm
portant We quote the last issue:
Georgia should have two good high
ways leading across the state from
north to south and east to west. Other
states have them, and surely Georgia
should And what Atlanta or any other
city wants should not be taken into
consideration alone, for that is one city
and a small part of the state. The farm
er in the rural section is the man to
consider, for we are a state made of
farmers. When the farmer prospers we
are all prosperous"
We are glad the commissioner is for
good roads and we hope he and his fell
low commissioners will be able to get
some of the national government money
working for them in this section of the
state. If we are to have two good state
wide highways in Georgia one of them
is certain to lead to Savannah.-Savan-
nah Press.
The commissioner favored and advocated
good roads long before there was a state
highway commission or a federal road fund
We are glad to see that the editor of the
Savannah Press also favors good roads 1t
is evidence that the sentiment for better
highways in Georgia is growing; and when
the people awaken to the Importance of
road Improvement desired results will fol-
low
AS to the federal fund for highways there
seems to be lack of information as to the
situation by the newspapers of the state,
and therefore, on the part of the people
also. 1t is no fault of the highway commits
sion, in any sense, that more of this money
has not been expended in Georgia This
states pro rata of that fund to date is
S80O,000, and every cent of it has been al
lotted to projects throughout the state,
many of which have been approved by the
federal road department. Actual work is in
ing those in Bacon and Brooks counties,
in the Savannah section, and the govern
ment has paid to Georgia $4,000 for road
improvement. That greater sum has not
come to the state is due solely to the fact
that the counties which applied for aid have
not proceeded with the work after secur-
ing an allotment of the fund, and under the
law there is no way to require them to COM
ply with their agreement or for the state
to do the work
More legislation, including an amend
ment to the constitution, is necessary be-
fore much progress can be made toward
greater improvement of the highways.

WHO is FTJSHAo

The death of Theodore Roosevelt will be
large element in the republican politics
of the nation in the presidential election
of 1920. Whether the entire party so will
ed it or not events were shaping themselves
Enthusiastically toward his nomination What
change of sentiment might have develop
ed between this time and the date of the
nominating convention no one can foresee.
But judging by those of the last few months
the tide would have grown stronger in his
favor.
Roosevelt would not have been without
opposition among the republicans. Many
have forgiven but not condoned his break
with the party in 1912, which resulted in
eight years of democratic administration.

TRADE AT HOME AND PULL
FOR DAWSON GOOD SLOGAN

Editor of The Dawson News: The way to
have a real live town is for every man, wo
man and child to join the Boosters Club of
Dawson We have one of the best towns in
the south, and every citizen should appre-
ciate this fact. united people could very
soon double the population of Dawson. We
all ought to pull for each other, not against
each other, and give our unstinted support
to local industries and enterprises. Let ev-
cry Dawsonian patroniZe Dawson mer-
chants" would be a mighty good slogan.
There never was a truer saying than ''a
prophet is not without honor save in his
own country" We seem to think things
bought out of town are superior to those
our own merchants carry. This is an idle
dream. When the wives of DOCTORS law
yers, bankers and other business men go
on shopping expeditions to neighboring
towns they are, perhaps unconsciously, do
ing something which, if carried out to its
logical conclusion, means the ruin of their
own town.
l want to confess here and now that /
personally have not stood up to our Dawson
merchants as | should have. It's time to get
right. lot of US are dependent on the bus
mess men of our town for livelihood and
it seems indeed bad taste and worse judg-
ment for US not to give our own town mer-
chants the trade to which they are justly
entitled. Let's trade at home and pull for
Dawson.
In this connection I want to say every
man in the town ought to be an active, en-
ergetic supporter of the Chamber of Com
merce. / learn that that body is to have
meeting Thursday night of this week, and
that meeting will probably determine wheth-
er this splendid work is to go forward or to
end in failure. If you expect to keep on liv-
ing in Dawson, if you desire to expand your
opportunities, if you want live town and
not dead town, come out to that meeting
and let's put our heads together and our
shoulders to the wheel. Very truly,
