as the material has such great pos.

Unfortunately, during past sea-
sons, in order to keep prices down
cloths of inferior construction and
open weaves have been manufactured
and put on the market, and shirts
made of such material have not given
the satisfaction that the STANDARD
cloths have, and retailers in soma
quarters have ben rather hasty in
condemning all fibre silks, because
of this. The first fibre of this kind
that was produced for shifting pur-
poses was a trademarked cloth which

due largely to the fact that its con.

! formatOry 30 per cent. OF the boys are
| feeble-minded to the same extent. In
the Atlanta Juvenile Court from 10
to Is per cent. of the children have
teen found to be feeble-minded. The
studies made by DR.. Anderson and his
collaborators in the schools in three
sections of the state-the mountain
Gus, the mill district, and the urban
communities of South Georgia re-
veal that from to per cent. of the
children are feeble-minded.
Only five states in the Union, ac-
cording to DR.. Anderson, have no in
stitutions for the care and education
of the feeble-minded and Georgia is
one of the five. Such institutions should
be of two types or should have two
divisinos, he said: one division being
for the institutional care of diotic chill
above three years, and are unable to
anything for themselves, or to pro-
tect themselves even from danger,
and for the embicile chinldren, who
range in mental age from three to
eight years and who can protect them
selves from bodily harm but cannot
be educated to become self-supporting
The second division, which he discuss
ed particularly yesterday, provides
for the care and training of the high
grade moron, who may be taught to
be useful and self-respecting and
saved from a life Of helplesness and
Crime and degeneracy.
There are two needs in Georgia, DR..
Anderson said, in concluding his ad-
dress. One is the need of an institu-
tion for the feeble-minded, providing
both a colony for the helpless idiots
and embiciles and training school
for morOns, and the other law pro-
viding for special classes in the
schools for all children who are two
or three grades behind We are now
spending, he said, from eight to ten
times as much in furnishing feeble
minded criminals as it would take
to give them the training that would
make them happy and useful mem
bers of society.

| Can a juror who goes in the box in

ought not to be permitted to serve on

free speech and a free press, and

only vehicle under Gods sun we have
for conveying justice. Here is a dan
ger grave danger
Above all we want the courts to
function properly. We want them to
be able to send the guilty to punish
ment where punishment should be
visited. We want them to be able
to save the innocent, where the in

institutions, because that right is be-

that right. 1t will be one Of the sure

HERE IS DANGER ENOUGH

The freedom of the press is great
American privilege the like of which
is not known in the rest of the world.
Free speech is a thing we jcalously
guard. Most people appreciate these
| liberties, especially those who are ed
ucated we'll enough to known their
full meaning. Abuse cheapens our re-
gard for them and endangers thier
functioning at times when free speech
means most.
What is developing in Macon in
connection with the trial of six city
detectives for murder is bordering
dangerously on abuse of the right of
free speech. The question of guilt or
innocence of the men imprisoned un-
der charge of murder need not come
into this argument at all. We are con-
cerned with the inflamatory news ar
ticles appearing in advance of those
trials. How could an innocent man
get justice under such conditions?
And the law must presume them in
nocent till they are proven guilty.
What we have already seen in con-
nection with these cases amounts to
nothing less than q clamor for their
blood. And we have every reason to
believe that not one word of the pub
lished matter is inspired by the real
facts in the ease, because it has not
been possible for the writer's of this
infamatory matter to know all the
facts. 1t has not been laid before them
by witnesses under oath.
And if it had been, every utterance
OF the kind we have been seeing and
the great black line scare heads, go
full length to forestall justice in the
trials. And in those trials the first
and foremost thing sought is Justice,

PEANUTS MAKE GYPSUM
IMPERATICE.

| Augusta Chronicle:
Recent movements show q large in
| crease in acreage in peanuts, owing
to high prices of oil and cake. Pea
nuts cannot be successfully grown
without an application of gypsum.
lhiS is we'll known in Virginia and
North Carolina. South Georgia is fol-
lowing suit and sypsum agencies arc
beng established throughout the whole
of South Georgia. About 500 pounds
per acre are drilled on the side Of the
plant when the plant first begins to
bloom. The suual price of gypsum is
S15 per ton, cash, or SIG not December
first.
Gypsum, too, is largely used on hays
and all legumes as top dressing, so
to 100 pounds per acre, and unlike nj.
trate of soda, one cannot use too much
of it.
gypsum is lime sulphate. One ton
of gypsum or land plaster means 900
pounds of sulphur trioxide and 700
pounds oxide of lime, this being the
lime that goes into all plant struc-
lures. Before the days of mixed
guanos our ancestors used gypsum in
large way. 1t is natural product
as mined out of the arth, and in way
lis just as useful as is our mined rock
phosphate. Both of these natural pro-
ducts demonstrate the remarkable re-
sources of nature.
Gypsum is an essential to peanuts
because it prevents pops, gives you d
better quality and with more oil con-
tents, and give bigger out-turn in
the field. Without gypsum it is easy
for the peanut grower to lose 20 per
percent in weight through pops and
Is percent loss in oil content. There
never was natural product more
indicated for one crop than gypsum
IS for peanuts.

HERE is A DUTY

Dr.. Y. V. Anderson, scientific ad-
wiser OF the Georgia commission for
the feeble minded, who was recent
~ heard il Cordele by the loca' medi-
cal society, is giving Georgians some
thing to think about in the suggest
ed proper handling and training of
the feeble minded children of the
state.

ance. For their humane and SEN
sible thought, Georgians ought not to
lose any time in making plans to

Just as he has suggested in the fol-
fowing presentation of facts, or even
better if possible:

their first entrance into the schools

times having record of arrests two
or three hundred times.

TWO KINDS OF STUFF

If cur readers will pardon the refer
ence again, we will offer just these
two of Frank Simonds' Itterances,
both given to the public yesterday
and both Indicating that there are
two activities of this man at the CON
ference. We have noted this in study
ing the stuff that comes to this coun-
try with the name of Simonds over
it.
Not long ago Simonds told the
South with great flavor of sagacity
the Germans were not going to sign
the peace treaty,-would not think of
such thing. 1t raised a howl after
everybody took the second thought
and knew that the Germans could do
nothing else but sign 1t also cheapen-
ed Frank Simonds as writer and
made people believe he was costing
democratic administration good bit
of the credit for the good work done.
.Simonds caught it all up in his hard
bumps and he came back for the peo-
pie Of the south with this sort of
stuff Sunday:
In the last analysis, Germany
will have to sign these terms of
peace. Her refusal, her rupture
OF negotiations for the moment
and for effect, will have no other
result THAI ~ SGT in molten the
allied armies along the Rhine,
new ready to move. Any consid-
cradle lessening of terms is now
inconceivable, and so far as one
can see the allies are at the presnt
time and so far as the German
question is concernal squarcly q.
and solidly united | do not hink
there has been anything like as
approximate unity at any stage in
the Paris conference.
That's the sweetened stuff on which
Simonds is now feeding his southern
readers. Great isn't he? We want to
believe that Is Il an honest criticism?
That's what he gave us,--you and me

Now turn for a moment and look
at the stuff he gave his northern and
and eastern readers through the Nc
Clure publications on the same day,
touching the same subject matter:
But who is to guarantee the
permanence of all these changes?
The American answer has been
the League of Nations, but the
League of Nations has no power
IN itself. II has no armies, it has
no fleets. In theory, it was to be-
come complete within a relatively
