Walton CounH's Examble.

The spirit of true progress and patriotism
spoke in the mass meeting of Walton county
citizens, held the other day at Monroe, for
the Endorsement of the proposed State bond
issue to construct an inter-county system of
excellent highways throughout Georgia. It
was the unanimous and enthusiastic verdict of
that assembly Of farmers and business men,
after the plans of the enterprise had been
laid before them, that they woul exert their
utmost influence for its consum1 lation. The
countys Representatives in the next Legisla-
ture, Mr.. Joseph Balsingame and Mr.. E. NJ
Williams, pledged their support of bill to
submit the question of a bodybuilding bond
issue to the people, and in other ways to work
diligently for the cause. This is characteris-
tic of Waltons forward-looking attitude and
of that also of the State-at-large. The people
of Georgia want an adequate system of good
roads, and they are willing to pay for it.

Il Great Georgia Record.

A Western authority on food supplies is
quoted by the Augusta Chronicle saying
that Georgia, having now reached second
place as a hog-raising State, is able, if She
will but utilize her resources, to forge to first
place, at present held by Iowa. He expressed
wonder, the Chronicle adds, upon being shown
hogs out in the open field where they live
the year around without shelter and are
raised and fattened on an amount of food
surprisingly small compared with that re-
CURED in some other States"
The significance of Georgias present rank
years ago her output of swine, as of other
the leading Western States But the rapidity
of her progress is chiefly gratifying as an in
dication of what she yet can do wen her
sum OF energy and resources comes into play.
Possessing all the natural requisites to the
production of hogs at the lowest cost possib,s
in the United States, in the next five or ten
years she should attain unrivalled leadership
in this field of animal husbandry.
Incentives to more than ever vigorous
effort abound. Mr.. Hoover says advisedly
that for years to come the worlds meat sup
ply will be low, so that the producers rewards
will be correspondingly high. In 1910 the
average price of swine was nine dollars and
seventeen cents head; at the beginning of
1919 the average was twenty-five dollars and
four cents-this notwithstanding steady in
crease in the number of swine raised on
American farms. This tendency, which bids
fair to sustain itself for many a season 70
come, should impel Georgia to make the most
OF her extraordinary opportunities.

peace conference is disposed of and few
more hearings are accorded representatives
of small nations, to take up the larger prob

sentative in Paris of the necessity of taking
steps to return soldiers home which cannot
be accomplished entirely in advance Of the

some of the entente countries believe it would

The German cabinet voted early Sunday
morning to reject the allied terms for the re-
newal of the armstice and take the chances
of an allied military advance being ordered.
After consultation with the party leaders,
however the decision was changed and on
Sunday night orders were issued that the
armistice be signed. 1t appears that the gov
eminent considered one of the allied cond1-

THE BUSHMEN.

The Bushmen, Africa's pigmies of the
south, who succumbed so quickly to civiliza-
ton, are becoming rarer every day. Famine,
killed off thousands.
The one great achievement of these chill
dren of the woods is their skllful use of poi
sons. In the hands of j more SUBTLE people
the poisoned arrow night have been an in
vincible weapon, but for the Bushman it only
delayed inevitable defeat.
The Bushman's arrow is toy of light reed
until he turns it into a certain death dealer
by covering the tip with one of his favorite
poisons. A certain caterpillar of the jungle,
the most venomous snakes and spiders, poi
sonous roots and leaves, all yield their
power to kill to the use af othese natives.
Special men of the tribe prepare the poi
sons for their purpose, usually heating them
in dish before dipping the dart into them.
While waiting for their poisonous brew to
cook, the poison concocters dance about the
fire in excitement at the coming hunt or cana
bat Skluking in breathless silence upon the
imagi-sry 'emy, they suddenly leap up ana
discharge the fatal arrows, after which they
shift easily to the part of the victim, and
writhe and howl with ali the -gonY of the
hunted. Exhaustion and the completion OIL
the poison put an end to this vivid rehearsal.
When the poisoned arrows are COOL the
last of the Bushmen sally forth to try their
skill in earnest, no longer against the white
man, but upon wild game.

The Other Connty's Dust.

The Albany Herald puts the logic Of good
roads pithily when it says:
''The county that builds permanent
highways is the county that is going to
lead in the march of progress, and the
county that builds first gets the long
est lead. The advantage of leading a
race over having to try to displace an
other already established in the lead,
is self-evident. Dougherty doesn't want
to take any other countys dust"
compelling reason, this, for roads that
will stand the wear of weather and the
tear of traffic, roads that will be roads, not
s1oughs of despond, in December as well as
in May. No matter what the initial cost
may be, a durably constructed highway is
incomparably the cheapest, indeed it is the
only kind that is at all cheap, the only
kind on which the people should permit
tax money to be spent Today this doc
trine finds so general assent that to state
it seems platitudinous. Yet we all know
that it might have been some strange
heresy, for the consistency with which it
has been followed. Millions upon millions
of dollars have been sunk in roads that
were not worth the time it took unskilled
labor to give the lick and promise that
made up their construction AS mat
ter of fact and of practice, permanence in
road building, that is to say, scientific
methods in road building, is a radically
new thing as far as the greater part of
America is concerned.
Happily, however, it's wisdom is now be-
ing applied as we'll as perceived. In Geor-
gia the demand for roads that won't wear
out is insistent and Statewide. No alert
county wants to take another's dust-nor
it's own mud.

THE ELEPHANT
RV DR. Frank Crane

by LII. TIduk OIdHG
The elephant does not really exist. He has
stepped to out OF a story book. He is a
fantastic creature made of dreams.
Nature has many grim and whimsical
twists. You can see them in an aquarium,
misshapen, dubious monsters that look as if
some child of he high gods had made them
as an infantile prank.
But the elephant is not joke. He is the
most serious looking creature of all created
things. In spite of that long nose sticking
out of his face he is not funny, but sober as
country judge, dignified as a bishop, and
inscrutable as 4 statue of Buddha.
He is our great link with the past. Even
If we knew the language of beasts, as did the
man in the Arabian Nights tale, we could not
understand the elepf ant, for he is thinking in
a tongue older than Sanskrit.
Venerable secrets are hidden in his solemn
head. He was a companion of Noah, for no
toy maker would think of making a Noah's
Ark without an elephant.
Methuselah played with him when he was
child. PhralaoGg took his shape when he
approached the Pincess in Mount Hima-
wonta, whittier The four Princes of Mats of the
abode of Tsadumarit had carried her.
He knows, doub; less, the great truth of
Gotama and the secret meaning of Nirvana,
and how to resist Yuh-yen, Neng-yueh-gin and
Ngai-loh, the three daughters of Mara Deva-
raga, enemy of religion, "Who were mincingly
beautiful and of pleasant countenance and
altogether fit by artful ways to inflame
man with love, highest in this respect among
the Devils.
The other grotesque figures of antiquity
have passed. the pterodactyls, the ichthyo-
sauri, the mastodons and those monsters of
whom we read in the legends of the Buddha
"some with many heads on one body-trunk
with faces having but a single eye, and then
again with many eyes; some with great
paunched mighty bodies; others thin and
skinny, bellyless: long-iegged mighty-kneed,
big-shanked, and fat-calved; some headless,
breastless. faceless; some with two feet and
many bodies; some colored like the bright
star rising, other steaming fiery avpor, with
humps like moHnteins some with naked
forms covered With hair
All, all are gone. They can be found now
only in the curious literature of the east or
in the dreams Of little boys.
All but the elephant. This old friend of
man has made his peace with modernity. He
has escaped from the general slaughter of the
ancients.
Although he was q companion of Adam
frowned upon the violence of Cain, carried the
mighty Nimrod to the hunt, gra2ed the
triumphal PROFESSIONS Of the pharoahs, drew
the war-chariots of Darius, astonished the
populace of Rome in the triumphal train of
Caesar, he is now t., mainstay of the present
day circus and is llsying with DeWolf Hop

Cider Barrel Bursts
Mrs. Francis Jordan Hall was in
charge of the canteen workers, who
were indefatigable in their efforts
to make their Legionaire guests
feel truly at home. The evening was
slightly interrupted at one time by
the bursting of a barrel of cider,
the contents of which spouted
forth in all directions. ASIDE from
this everything went off smoothly.
The cider barrels, labeled as High
spire whisky, caused many faces to
brighten with surprise, but these
hopeful gentlemen were disappoint- =
ed.
The music was furnished by the
Chamber of Commerce, who had Sc
cured the Banjo SaXo Orchestra for
the evening. Decorations in the hall
consisted of tall baskets of dahlias
and cosmos.
Resolutions Discussed
A variety of subjects incidental to
the proposed activities of the Ameri-
can Legion was discussed at an inn
portant meeting of the Committee on
1NNSSAbbAONS VAN chairman
w. Carr. of Philadelphia, in the chair,
this morning. The chairman report
ed back the resolutions at tho ses-
sion in the Chestnut Street Hall this
afternoon at which time a thorough
discussion and debate was expected.
In view of the difficulties encount-
cred al Washington in settling the
claims of ex-service men regarding
War Risk Insurance, Allotments, Lib
erty bonds, etc.. a resolution was
National Convention in November of
resolution to enact legislation pro-
viding for the establishment in Wash
ipSton of service bureau having for
its primary purpose the expedition
of all business of the American Le-
gion centering in the National Capt.
tai.
Boy Scouts Commended
The wor kof the Boy Scouts in the
various campaigns throughout the
war was highly commended and the
State cantonment urged to pledge it's
hearty cooperation in the further
activities of that body.
The committee likewise endorsed
the work of all the Anti-Tubercular
Societies, and put itself on record as
commencing the campaign to promote
the sale OF Red Cross Christmas seals
to wipe out the white plague.
A resolution condemning the ex-
ploitation of the uniform for COM
mercial purposes as reprehensible and
and to be viewed with disgust by all
ex-service men was unanimously
adopted.
Urge General Holiday
The sentiment Of the committee
proved to be in favor Sof urging that
November IL be made a general holi-
day. This matter will probably be
referred to the national convention
The question of enacting legislation
to take care OF disabled soldiers and
sailors, who are unfit for further
work, instead of leaving them to the
care of public charity, was referred
to the convention in a resolution.
To Keep Out of Politics
One of the most important discus
sions centered about the question as
to whether or not the American Le-
gion should take an active part in
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-10-03

politics. After a debate the majority
of the committee voted in favor of
resolution that factional and partisan
politics should be excluded from dis
cussion at all meetings of the Amer
ican Legion posts, and that no can
didates for public office be endorsed
by vote of any post.
Several instances were given in
which men holding office in the
American Legion resigned their Of
fec on entering the political field as
candidates, but the sense of the COM
mittee was in favor of leaving this
matter to the decision of the individ-
uals concerned
Several important matters were re-
ferred to subcommittee with instruc-
tions to draft resolutions for later
consideration. Important among
these was the question of deporta-
tion of alien enemies and the pro-
posed attitude of the Legion toward
the future military policy of the Gov
ernment Colonel Millard A Brown
was named as chairman Of this latter
committee. Associated with him are
