The Georgia persimmon, noted
from time immemorial as being use
full principally as food for possums
and for that delightful brew dear to
memory of boyhood days, 'simmon
beer, may become a commercial pro-
duct in the near future. Experts de-
clare that from it better vinegar may
be manufactured than from apples
Dawson News.
The Georgia apple and the Georgia
peach having proved their superior
value it is not strange that the Geor-
gia persimmon should also have high
er ambitions.

Twenty years ago they commenced

about this is whether they will wait

The time has come for some con-
sideration to be given drainage pro-
jects in Carroll county. Much land
that at present yields no return could
be reclaimed land Immediately become
our most productive fields. Other sec
tions of the state have already availed
themselves of the opportunity to or
ganize drainage districts, issue bonds
to pay the cost of ditching beds of
the streams, and let the crops raised
on the reclaimed lands pay off the
bonds.-Carroll Free Press.
There is no more important sub
ject about which a paper can talk to
its readers. Drainage means both
health and wealth, and it has posi-
bilitieS far beyond the conception of
any man who has not investigated it.
Carroll county has $1,000 acres of
land that drainage would benefit.

There are unmistakable signs that
there is going to be veritable rush
of emigration from Europe to this
country as soon as the people over
there can make preparations to get
away. Another verification of the
fact that advertising pays. Our boys
did lots of it while in France and Bel
um.-Oglethorpe Echo.
Certainly advertising pays, but
there is some question as to how de-
sirable that rush of people from Eu-
rope is going to be. In this case we
rather suspect it is what we do not
need. Our most dangerous and unde-
sirable citizens, or we should say
residents" came in hurry from
Europe.

Clippings and Comments

every other section. Specifically
speaking, it appears that Southern
gallantry does not extend to the bal
lot box.-Monroe Advertiser.
Much of the boasted gallantry
which claims to be trying to "save
the white women of the South" from
the contamination" of the ballot box
is not gallantry at all, but in reality
is selfishness pure and simple. Wo-
manhood does not stand very high
with some of the most violent anti
suffrage orators and statesmen, al
though we admit that some may con-
slider their position the right one for
the protection of women, most of
them just want to stay in power them
selves, and fear the woman's clean
vote.

The federation of labor wants a

The reason a lot of things have
advanced 100 per cent, when the

The presidential contest next year

Automatic LIqhtship.

The efficient lighting Of the water
ways so that they can be safely navi-
gated at night is an all-lmportant mat
ter. It is effected by the ordinary sta
tlOnary lighthouse on shore, and also
by manned lightshlps and various
kinds Of automatic light buoys. The
latest of these latter is an ingenious
automatic lightship, requiring no at
tention whatever when once set in mo.
tlon, built by a British firm.
1t is very ingenlously constructed
vessel and the very latest of its kind.
In It's two steel tanks sufficient gas
can be stored to supply the vessel
for several months. Experiments have
shown that the light may be depended
upon to burn continuously for months
at time without any attention what
ever. The approximate duration Of
the light can always be predetermined,
and there is no danger whatever of
the light being extlngulshed either by
wind or spray. The light is visible at
a distance of eight to twelve miles.

Definite historical records regarding

Persian Cambyses swept through Pal

route for his work of destruction in
Egypt. After the fall of Babylon Pal
estine saw the armies of Alexander
the Great and Pompey. Vespasian,
Titus and Hadrian all fought in Pales-
tine. In A. d. GA the Sassanian En-
peror ChOsroes, stretching forth from
his capital at Ctesiphon, destroyed Je-
rusalem; once again the city was re-
built, and within generation was
opened to the Arab and MOslem con-
querOr, Callph Omar. In the twelfth
century the crusaders took Palestine,
which then became the scene Of the
romantic struggle between Richard
Occur de Lion and Saladin. Fifty
years later the Holy Roman Emperor
Frederick II, known in the middle
ages as "the Wonder Of the World"
crowned himself king of Jerusalem in
the church Of the Holy Sepulcher. In
1915 the armies Of the Ottoman Turks
under Sellm the Grim marched down
from AleppO and seized the country
on their way to the conquest Of
Egypt. Nearly three hundred years
later Napoleon marched from Egypt
through the same pass Of MeglddO to

A Lot Of Gypsy Moth Eggs.

Hon. George II. Babb of Sebago, who
is connected with the state agricultural
department, was in town Wednesday,
and while here found q considerable in
fsstation Of gypsy moth eggs along Pleas
ant Street near A. w. Walkers. The
Democrat has already noted that G. B.
Hamilton had discovered . dozen clus-
ters of eggs or 80 In that vicinity from Q
casual examination, but Mr.. Babb made
a more thorough examination, and re-
ports something like hundred clusters
Of eggs.
The gypsy moth Is perhaps not re-
garded with the same dread that Ii was
a few years ago, when in certain areas II
seemed that il would eat every green
thing, but 1t is foe that must be fought,
and kept within the closest possible
limits. Importation and development of
diseases and parasites over consider
able term of years have given ground for
the hope that the pest will eventually be
reduced to comparatively small numbers.
Mr.. Bsbb says II we keep our shade trees
and orchards clear, 1t Is likely that the
enemies of the gypsy moth will gain
strength enough to prevent extensive
damage to the forests.
After discovering these egg clusters,
Mr.. Babb Wednesday morning spoke to
the students of the high school regarding
them, and also reported at the Democrat
office. The egg clusters are q somewhat
yellowish patch of material, somewhat
resemb bling piece of sponge. or little
COB of putty. They are generally found
on the trunks or the under side of limbs
of rough barked trees, usually not high
in the tree. Willow Is favorlts species
of tree for them, naples apparently
coming next. But the moth 10 not con-
fi1ed to trees. 1t will lay the eggs in
stone walls, or in rubbish heaps, In piles
of old boards and other wrecksge. Such
heaps should be looked over and cleaned
up.
The remedy Is to paint the egg clusters
with creosote, any tune before the warm
weather matches them next season.
Then they will not hatch. II they are
left, each cluster will produce several
hundred catsrpillars another year.
