THE VETERANS REUNION.

That there will be full and free co-opera-
ton throughout Terrell county in the matter
of providing entertainment for the several
hundred Confederate veterans, sponsors. ma
irons and maids who will be our guests on
June 1919 is taken for granted In no 9TH
er way can we measure up to what would
naturally be expected of US after the broad
and cordial invitation which has gone out
with assurance that our hearts and homes
will be opened wide in glad welcome to as
many of these old beroes as will come to
share the rich bounty of the best section
in Georgia. 1t is not believed that our peo-
pie will need any urging in this matter of
helping to sustain the reputation which
Dawson and Terrell county has gained for
unstinted hospitality
To provide suitable entertainment for so
many visitors will require careful thought
and planning. The heads of the different or
carnations are giving freely of their time
IN this necessary preparation, and need all
the encouragement and enthusiasm the pub
lie can give. Firm in the belief that every
one who possibly can will give assistance
the committee on securing homes will 90
to their task with alacrity and delight.

WHAT is THE LEVEL?

The fundamental principle of the boil
shevist doctrine of government is the low
erlng of property possessions to a common
level by a common distribution. The masses
Of the people in the countries in which the
doctrine finds supporters understand that
those who have nothing will get part of that
which belongs to those who have much and
that those who have little will have that lit
tie increased from the property Of those
who have more. it is the applied doctrine
Of communism modified by conditions. In
Hungary the peasants are said to have decid-
ed, Immediately upon the establishment of
the bolshevik government, which of the
fields and pigs and cows of the landlords
should become the property of each tenant.
The principle is a delusion, and must fail
except as it is maintained by fear of death
among those who protest
No government can live which is found
ed on the principle that property distribu-
ton must be leveled. Government can onlv
give each individual opportunity to secure
that to which his ability or his energy emit
ties him. 1t should give him an equal chance
with his fellows. But it cannot survive if.
in principle, it authorizes him who has moth
ing to take from him who has something.
The ultimate leve! cannot be determined,
and when the prof1igates waste that which
was their share under the first leveling they
will insist on those who received similar
share at that distribution again dividing
with the one who has dissipated his portion
1t is the rock upon which the scheme will
come to its DOOM

FILTHY MONEY.

The News has more than once called at
tention to dirty, greasy, germ-laden one dol
lar bills that do duty as circulating medium
in Dawson, and now comes our neighbor, the
Thomasville Times-Enterprise, with the
query, "Why not clean money in Thomas
ville?" Our contemporary then adds:
We ask that question in answer to a
demand, and pertinent one, too, back
ed by a wad OF one dollar bills that
would shame the rag picker. The query
comes from a charming woman of
ThOmasvile, leader in thought and ac-
ton among the fair sex and with no lit
tie influence in the entire community
She secured some six or eight one dol
lar bills yesterday and they didn't suit
her, in fact they wouldn't have suited
any clean, dainty woman, because they
were positively filthy, perhaps germ
laden and certainly obnoxious to the
idea of cleanliness and health. Thorn
aSVille has been noted for its clean
money for some folks in times past. 1t
is now noted for its dirty money for
most folks. There was a time when
winter tourists were here in large num-
bers, and they wouldn't accept the filthy
lucre. They wanted clean bills because
they liked them and were accustomed
to them. That time is past as far as
the local people are concerned They
want a change, and they would welcome
any possibility of making a contribu-
ton toward making Townsville a clean
money town.
After coming in contact with many of the
dollar bills which circulate in this section
one feels the need of liberal quantities OF
I've and hot water. For the sake of decency
and cleanliness there should be remedy OF
some kind

WAR ON RATS

We note that some Georgia towns and
communities have had or are going to have
days on which to wage a war of extermina-
ton on rats. Kidding one or a few towns
or communities Of the pest will provide but
temporary relief, because the rat is migra-
tory. People look upon the rodent as an evil
that must be endured, much as the ancients
looked upon leprosy or black death or small
pox. But a campaign of determination con-
Quoted so as to make it statewide or bet
ter still, nationwide would in time reduce
the rat pest to minimum.
All statements as to the loss of property
caused by rats and mice are guesses. 1t is
impossible to tell even approximately what
it is, but it is not difficult to ascertain that
it is enormous. The amount of grain de-
stroyed by them in one year reaches hun
dreds of thousands of bushels. 1t has been
estimated that the value Of property destroy
ed by rats is greater than that destroyed by
fire. Fire losses are fought with great capt.
talistic organizations which insure owners
against loss. There is no insurance against
loss by rats.
Fireproof buildings are being erected in
clues ana on many farms. But this method
of fighting the loss will avail but little un-
less the cities are entirely rebuilt, for there
is not village or = metropolis in which rat
harbors do not abound in every block The
development of some method of extermina-
ton is rich field for scientific research
Notwithstanding its seeming uninviting
character.
The rat is not only destroyer of prop
erty, but is one of the pests which spreads
disease. 1t comes fresh from proving ex-
petition in the flthiest sources Of the city
sewers to walk over the food of people and
to leave disgusting trail of disease germs
in its path through human habitations. The
fly with all its disease carrying possibilities
is not as dangerous as the rat, because the
rat reaches and leaves its germs in the parts
of the home where such germs live and null
tiply. If the determination of the fly is es-
sental to cleanliness and health how much
more so is the determination of the filthy
rat?

Feeding Georgia Hogs.
From the Savannah News.

Packing plants that serve the South are
doing a good thing for the section by lean
ing heavily on the point that the corn-hard-
ened hog demands a much better price than
the hog that is fed on peanuts up to slaugh-
terlng time. Georgia, specially among the
Southern states, should learn and heed the
lesson that it pays to harden hogs with corn
tor some time before sending them to slaugh-
ter. The reason IS one everyone knows, but
apparently many hog raisers in the state are
not using this knowledge in practical way.
Inc tendency IS to pay peanut-fed-hOgs
prices for all Georgia hogs merely because
so many Georgia hogs get no corn.
Now the Georgia hog, with proper feed
ing, takes second place to no hog in the
country, and it should become a fact and
become known that when Georgia hog is
sold to a packing house the meat will be as
good as may be found anywhere in the
country, will show up as we'll under critical
examination IN the packing house and will
be as attractive to the consumer when the
times comes TO slice the meat
There is no reason why Georgia hog rails
ers cannot produce firm meat as the hog
ralsers of Iowa. Georgia is a corn state It
belongs in the corn belt Last wear it's corn
production was nearly 100000 bushels
Its hog ralsers must seek the best possible
market and to do so they must have the
best possible stuff to sell. They can have it.
and they must have it. If the time should
ever come when the demand for hog meat
and the supply are close together and the
consumer can be even more choosy the best
meat, the corn-hardened meat, will be Sc
lected first and the hog that was fed corn
will come next. This is a possible condition:
even at present the peanut-fed hog com
mands smaller price than it's corn-fed
nelghbor. Peanuts are good hog food; no.
body advocates doing away with them. The
point IS that for several months before he is
sold to slaughter the hog that has eaten pea
command a better price
Georgia farmers are not getting the money
out of hogs that they should get They may
be making a profit, but not enough. Proper
feeding will bring in top prices for Georgia
hogs. That is the lesson to be needed.

GARDENS AND GARDENING.

One thing we got out Of the war is in
creased general interest in and respect for
gardening. The garden army has mobiliz-
ed for the spring campaign.
In the making of gardens there is a good
deal Of back breaking work, but all the la
Dor involved is not to be compared with the
pride of achievement which glows in the
heart of the gardener. 1t is almost impossi-
BILE to undertake a garden and not become
a garden crank" as the enthusiast is de
scribed by the sccffer, so subtle and COM
pelling are the destinations Of the pursuit
The gardeners enthusiasm is pardonable,
however, when one contempates the haz-
ards of one sort and another that lie be-
tween seed time and harvest.
Families of this favored section who plant
ed gardens early are already enjoying tur-
nip and mustard salad and young radishes
spring onions are ready, green peas and
snap beans will soon be in bloom, and Irish
potato vines are knee high,
By all means let US encourage the gar
den habit, and if we have not already enlist
ed join at once the mighty army of garden
ers.

NO COLOR LINE ON TRAINS.

That government ownership of the rail
roads, or government control for any length
of ime of these public carriers, will lead to
equality-whites and blacks occupying the
same coaches-on passenger trains there is
not the least doubt. In fact, a movement to
that end has already been launched, as will
be seen by the following from the Coving-
ton News:
The News acknowledges receipt of a
copy of bill recently introduced in the
house of representatives by Congress
man Martin B. Madden, of the First Hi
nois district, the object of which is the
repeal of the 'jim-crow" law, or the
regulation requiring white and colored
passengers to occupy separate coaches
on railway trains.
Our contemporary then speaks its mind
in plain good old-fashioned English of the
Illinois congressman and of the northern ne
gro society which solicited his support and
endorsement Of the measure.
In a recent conversation with the editor
of The Dawson News a government official
in Georgia stated that while returning from
Washington a short while ago he was fore
ed to leave the Pullman, in which he had
paid for berth, on account of the presence
of a dozen negro soldiers who were return
ing South, one of whom had berth direct
ly over his and the others occupying adjoin-
ing compartments This gentleman went in
to the day coach and sat up all night.
Greatly increased passenger fares and
freight rates will not by any means be the
greatest evil of government operation of
the railroads if it continues much longer.

SWAT THE FLY.
From the Macon News.
Swat the fly.

Swat the fly.
The familiar slogan cannot be adopted too
soon.
With the coming Of warm days the prolific
fly begins to breed, and within the course of
few days one fly will reproduce millions of
his kind-literally millions.
We have learned great deal within the
past few years of the disease and death that
Turk in the trail Of the common house-fy.
If you looked at him under the microscope
you would agree that he has an appearance
as ferocious as any wild beast of the forest,
and in point of fact he is one of the most
deadly of all insects.
His ability to spread communicable dis
ease as he fits from center of filth and In
tectlon to the food on our table is almost I'M
limited, and science has long since regarded
him as real menace to society.
Now is the time to begin.

The Old-Fashioned Woman.
From the Minneapolis Journal.

At a recent costume party the unques-
toned belle was dressed as an old-fashiOn-
ed girl.
There were all graduations of the new girl
represented from a Palm Beach maiden in
an ultra bathing suit to the muniton fac
tory girl in overalls.
Does this indicate that we have reached
the extremes of folly in dress, and is there
to be reversion of type? Is woman again
to be a woman? Clothed as reason and
good taste advise, is she to take the place
Of the caricatures so prevalent today?
Women are said to adorn themselves
mainly for two reasons. One to be in the
fashion, the other to please men-or per-
haps the order should be reversed. But are
they pleasing the men in their present guise?
That all this foolishness in dress is having
its effect upon he attitude of men toward
women is apparent at every turn. 1t is
shown in the lessening of the chivalrous at
tention that has always been accorded by
men to women they admire and respect
There is not that ready response to the FEM
mime appeal as of yore. The little niceties
Of conduct are not strictly observed Dress
has not been responsible for all this, but it
has contributed largely
Another factor has been the demand of
women for equal rights with men in priv
ileges as well as in work and wages There
is an old song whose refrain runs
would the little woman be half as great,
If she were six feet tall?"
The old-fashoned woman welded a great
influence. She ruled her family, influenced
her menfolk in the affairs of the times. and
was as great factor in the worlds progress
as her sister Of today who fights for her
rights, and wears freakish apparel

Be Kindly, Boys.
From the Spokane Review.

Boys, when you speak of your father
don't call him "the old man." Of course
you are older now than when you were
taught to call him father. You are much
smarter than you were then, you are much
more manly looking, your clothes fit. YOU
better, your hat has a modern shape and
your hair is combed differently-in short,
flyer than you were then. Your father
has last years coat, a 2-year-old hat and
vest of still older pattern. He can't write
such an elegant note as you can and all
that, but don't call him "the old man" Cali
him father. For years he has been rustIing
around to get things together. He has been
held to the thorny path of uphill industry
and the brightest half of life has gone from
him forever. But he loves you, though he
goes along without saying much about it;
therefore be not so ungrateful.

The Ohio legislature recently passed a law
removing the quail from the list of game
birds, and CHASING it with the song birds.
This is good hint for Georgia. Song birds
are protected by law, and we believe the
farmers generally would like to see the quail
protected. This bird is one of the farmers
best friends destroying as it does great
numbers of insect pests and the seeds of
noxious weeds and grasses.

Those Good Old DAYS"
From the Greensboro Herald Journal

II1 NIIO vi 00''SOOIo HIeFaIu-J ournaI.
What has become of the old mode of liv-
ing when you had biscuit one day in the
week? They raised sheep on all of the big
farms and made clothes to wear from the
wool and spun cotton on the wheel and
made clothes for summer wear. Leather was
tanned at home, and they made shoes at
home. When they made cotton they hauled
it to Augusta on wagons and sold it for five
cents per pound. On Sunday when the
preacher would take dinner with you they
would fry one small chicken. The small bow
would peep through the cracks in the kitch-
en-, and if the visitor took the last piece of
chicken the small boy would grunt as loud
as a deacon in the amen corner.
