The year 1919 has brought bless
ings for which the people should be
truly grateful. During this same pc
riod last year the entire country was
enveloped in grief because of the
taking in the great influenza epidem-
ic of some of the country's best.
Scarcely a family but lost some loved
relative. This year has also brought
some semblance of peace-that is to
say there is no longer any organiz-
ed war, and for this there is cause
for great gratitude. The great un-
rest among the people throughout
the world is an aftermath of the war
and will adjust itself in good time.
Bamberg county has been blessed
with great prosperity, and there is
more money in the county than ever
before in the county's history. That
this prosperity is not general among
all the people is probably the fault
more of the individual than of gen.
eral conditions. Instead of pursuing
the same frugal habits as in less pros
porous times, the average individual,
white and colored, has elected dur
ing the past few years to join in the
profligate expenditure of money, with
the result that many persons are in
a worse estate than they were dur
ing normal times.

WE'RE MIGHTY GLAD

The American press has had much
to say of the severity of the terms
imposed en- Germany, but few news
writer in this country believe these
terms ought not to be imposed. We
believe Americans are rather pleased
at the manner in which allied and as
sociated powers have laid the respon.
siblity for the war on Germany and
are now waiting till Germany agrees
TO accept them. We may have witten
too much about it in this country.
Certainly the Germans at the peace
conference have taken nGte of our
recent current news expression and
comment, but what we think of the
terms will have little to do with re-
lieying GERMANY from paying for her
folly.
AS for us, we are mighty glad We
have just now in mind the terrible
plunge of March 81, 1918. Then the
kaiser called the newspaper men of
! the world to witness the great drive
tc the coast cities of France He was
ready to make France and England
pay for opposing his advance. How

Tie ground, let alone the men who
finished their fighting forever in this
&lea. Do you remember how often we
asked if the British would be able to
hold the German hordes till our men
reached the front?
Now the German people want to get
out on the excuse that they are not
responsible for what another form OF
German government imposed on them
They will not get from under like

MISUNDERSTANDING THE NEGRO

A news agency in Atlanta sent o"t
Il story yesterday to the papers OF
Georgia which made a negro women
say that if the Germans had won the
war the negro women would have been
ladies instead of servants.
If negro woman said that, she
certainly, had poor Judgement, but
the white man who paraded it to mil
lions of readers had far less good
judgement She was not speaking for
the negro race in the south Nothing
could be further from the mind of the
average negro, and the last thing that
can be charged to the southern negro
is dsloyalty.
The news item out of Atlanta can
do nothing but embitter those who are
willing to pay it any attention That
is thing no newspaper man ought
to encourage. There was no prO.Ger-
man negro manifestations during the
World War, Northern and eastern
industries took away a great army of
them to work during the war, and in
the north and east there have been
efforts to start the negro on cam
paign for his rights" but the negro
in the south is pretty well satisfied
with his rights if he is let alone.
What was said about the negro wo-
man in the Atlanta news item cannot
even be denied by the negroes. They
know the dangers. They dare not try
to defend themselves The law abd-
ing negro knows how many fool
hardly colored soldiers are coming
back from the war to be held in
check With out a word about negro
loyalty. they fear the degradation
The dependable negro element has
just as much interest in keeping the
negro in his place as has the white
man.
Instead of stirring race hatred
those who write for the reading pub
lie ought to have at heart a desire It
help the best element of the negroe
keep down trouble The negro is IA
from the spirit intimated in the
words at were put in the woman.
mouth. II is regrettable that such ;
thing was ever written. and mucl
MORE to be regretted that it was ever
printed.

ment should tell the allied and asso-
ciated powers that they will not sign.
That's wise procedure Germany.
Germany is asking for a peace of
justice. If Germany gets justice, she
will be at the milestone long after
this generation of militarists is for
gotten.
We are not fretting about the pun
ishment imposed. Germany is going
to pay the price, and the Germany
that came out Of the war is very well
on the way TO that mission now. 1t
may be d change Germany, but the
people who are complaining are the
people who helped their kaiser set
the fires of the war raging Only the
reverses of today could have made a
changed Germany, if indeed there is
such Victory for Germany would
have cost the rest of the world ire
mendous price,
Germany will sign,--0r else Ger
many will suffer worse things. We
are indeed glad that it is Germany
that has to sign and there is not any
sympathy with which to season that
gladness.

HARRY HAW X Err

We have waited for some word
from him, but none has come,-that
man who dared and lost; Hawker, the
aviator who aimed to cross the At
lantic at one steady sweep Of de-
flying element Some gifted writer
has paid tribute to him that but
have it. These words will ring in our
ears because we hold in high esteem
the man who dares and does.
Not I'll who try, reach the happy
goal, but those who try have the
sweet satisfaction Of knowing. Emer.
son said it is not the prayer but the
attitude that counts. Hawker qualified
as the great daring hero before ever
he took his last flight, for he dived
into the darkening elements with faith
n the final accomplishment Of his
task Let this tribute stand:
lie ought to have made it. He was
entitled to it. Americans wanted
their own ment first, but nevertheless
they were kind of" pulling for Harry
Hawker, that gray-haired Australian
mechanician who had behind his belt
the stuff to attempt desperate
chance. The Americans were but
tressed by all the facilities at the dis
posal Of their navy. They had destry-
ers every forty miles; red flares and
green flares; radiograms and flash
lights; concentrated foods and first
aid kits; poutoons attached to the bot
tom of their machines to keep them
from sinking; three or four motors to
drive every plane. llawker waited
until they had started, until at least
one was halfway across. Then he
cut loose on his intrepid flight. No
destroyerS to pick him up. No flares
or flashlights to guide his course. No
radio to summon help. No pontoon
10 keep him afloat No landing gear
for alighting on earth; no pontoons
for alighting on sea. No triple motors
to keep him going. Mining but nerve;
nlhinG but wings nothing but an en-
EiHc ard tank full of gas. Nothing
but the stars to guide him at night as
he drove his way eastward across the
dark waters. Yet on he went, on and
on. a hundred miles, thousand miles.
till the sun came up and he could see
his goal Probably he thought of his
wife and children as he strained his
eyes and caught far glimpse of Ire
lands shore. And then the needle
showed him that his fuel was gone,
and thatshe could not make it, that he
must come down to the surface of the
sea an dswim a little while, and sur
render at last to its icy embrace. He
ought to have made it. He was en-
titled to it. When glory goes to thr
one whose feet first touch the shore,
let all remember the well-named Aus
tralian, the dauntless haw who drove
on his nerve with nothing to guide
him but the starspangled vault above |
the dark waters.

HERE is A NEW ONE

Georgia, north Georgia, has a new
industry. No, it is not the mountain
dew that we are going to write about.
1t will not do to get it into your moo
die that north Georgia does nothing
but make mountain dew. There is
another industry now, kind that
you have not been hearing about, but
it is one that you will more than
likely hear more about as it get under
way
One Of the new industries of the
state that is forging ahead is cheese
making in the mountain countries OF
north Georgia. The first factory was
started near Young Harris and in q
short time two others will be in
operation.
Although Georgia consumes cheese
in such quantities in the state until
recently. The first factory was built
in the spring of 1918 near Young Har-
ris and the business started in
small way L. II. Marlatt of the State
College of agriculture Athens, Ga, is
in charge of the cheese factory work
in the state. Cheese making soon be-
came a poplar industry and the little
factory made good from the first day.
The two new factories that are be-
ing built are nearly completed and
part of the machinery installed. One
is located six miles from Young Har-
ris and will be known as the state
Line Cheese Factory" The other is
at Cleveland and will be called the
cleveland Cooperative Cheese-Fac-
tory" These two new buildings will
be improvements over the first one
put up at Young Harris.
The detailed report for April is
most gratifying. The net price per
pound of butterfat received by the
farmers was 81 ID cents.
