develop present opportunities with due cour-
age and care. For we now see the simple
genesis of this States live stock industries.
Every packing house establishment since
Moultrie led the way has had to enlarge its
facilities, in some instances doubling and
trebling. Every farmer who has gone eff
GENTLY into raising food animals has found
the returns upon his labor and investment
incomparably better and surer than UPON the
all-cotton system
Thus has been laid broad and solid foun-
dation for the industry which we now see eX-
banding into five hundred-acre ranges. The
experimental stage is passed. Hence for
ward developments should come not as lone
trail-blazers and pioneers, but in eager
troops. Nowhere can richer resources be
found than within the borders of this mild
wintered, lushy-pastured State, with its vast
abundance of cheap lands so admirably suit
ed to live stock raising. Georgia now stands
second among the hog-producing States. She
can easily be first; and she can reach the
van of cattle raisers and sheep raisers as
we'll.
Germany. however, should feel comfort
ed. She is no longer IN suspense.

The South's Foreign Trade.

A fact of far-reGching consequence to the
South as we'll as to the country-at-large is
tersely stated by the Chattanooga News
when it says, Until the waste places are
measurably restored and rehabilitated, the
sale of American products abroad will be
limited only by the size of our surplus to be
spared, by the foreigners ability to purchase
and by the necessary transportation facil1-
ties" Of basic commodities it may safely be
said, indeed, that we cal sell all we can pro-
duce and ship, for Europes needs in this re-
spect are of an urgency that must be served
Add to these demands for reconstruction
those of Latin-American and Oriental mar
kets which are more than ever inviting aft
er lying comparatively fallow during the
war period, and see something of the
great range and richness of this nations
foreign trade opportunities.
The South is materially concerned in Sc
curing her share of that prosperity breeding
commerce. The speed of her industrial ex-
pansion, the measure Of her business prof
is, the larger welfare of her agricultural in
arcG5s, all depend to a marked degree on
the extent to which her selling power in
overseas markets is developed. Certainly
this will prove true in the long run, however
easy it now appears to the short-sighted to
get along without such development 1t is
highly important, therefore, to foster every
we'll considered effort for promoting the in
terests of Southern ports and through them
the widest interests of the interior
Such an effort, and a particularly impor-
tant one, is embodied in the recently formed
South Atlantic Maritime Corporation repre-
senting the ports and inland connections Of
Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, Bruins
wick and Jacksonville. To this movement
and to its companion enterprise, "the League
of Cities" Georgia in company with her
neighbor states should give her support.

Il Georgia Ranch.

With what strides the live stock industry
goes forward in Georgia appears in the re-
cent organization of an Americas stock COM
pany which is to establish in Sumter county
hog farm and cattle range of five hundred
acres. It is not many years since such ven
ture would have been considered extraordi-
nary if not hazardous. Today it commends
itself to the most conservative judges as a
substantial and well-omehed enterprise.
Examples of success in extensive projects
of the kind are too numerous in Georgia for

YOUR CHILD'S MANNERS
4. AddingtOn Bruce


a RE your ehilds manners what they
~ ought to be? Il q" ~.
Does he show proper respect for
older people? Is he polite in speech and
action? Does he observe the little niceties
of table etiquette?
If not you had better begin at once to
give some thought to improving him in this
important respect.
And it is important-far more important
than many parents appreciate. A recent
writer on the subject-Margaret S. Nc
Naught, commissioner of elementary schools
of California-does not exaggerate when she
says:
''The Importance of education in man
ners is due to the fact that knowledge of
social customs and social usages is almost as
necessary to civilized man as a knowledge
Of how to earn living.
1.-THE young man woman who does
not know the rules of business or social life
is frequently i'll at ease, awkward, confused
and unable rightly to exert powers Of speech
action, when opportunities offer for MAX
ing friends that may be of larger impOr-
lance than will occur again for years..
Moreover:
Fright manners have a virtue of their
own. They demand for their attainment:
"First, control of petty irritations,
capricious likes or dislikes, carelessness Of
speech, rudeness of action, and all forms
of selfishness. And, second, consideration for
others, kindness of will, and gentleness of
word and sentiment.
''The daily exercise of this control and
this consideration of others reacts upon all
the impulses or processes of the mind. and
tends to produce excellency of character"
So important is training in manners that
it is rapidly becoming a feature in the edu-
cational work of all schools. But the desired
results are by no means always obtained. And
the blame for this rests largely in negligence
in the home.
The best intentioned teacher in the world
cannot give child good manners unless the
training efforts in the schoolroom are rein
forced by training efforts on the parents
part.
And if parents tolerate bad manners in
the home-if alas, they set their children
examples in bad manners, as many parents
do-training by the teacher is almost sure to
avail little.
Children, remember, are essentially imita-
tive beings. Naturally they most strongly
tend to initiate those with whom they are
most frequently in contact-tneir parents.
If parents, then, are not particular as to
their own manners--if they are not careful
in their choice of words, if they do not con-
troll their tempers, if they are not polite and
If their table usages are below Standard
cOnsiderate in their treatment of each other,
they need not be surprised to see their chill
dren growing up deficient in manners.
And thus growing up they will be handi-
capped, lamentably handicapped. in effect
ing the social relationships that count for
so much in the winning of happiness and
success.

Where Tagging Is RumOus.

Apropos of the fact that three of the more
important counties of Southwest Georgia
Sumter, Colquitt and Thomas-have recent
ly voted bond issues for highway improve
ments on scale never before projected in
that region, the Albany Herald remarks:
"Once under way the construction of
permanent highways in this part of the
State will continue steadily. The power
of example in highway development has
been demonstrated repeatedly, and the
counties which are taking the lead in
issuing bonds (for this purpose) will see
the highways they are building met by
similar highways in adjoining counties.
For it is fact that when one county
builds Enthusiastically better highways
than it's neighbors, they will be forced
IS a matter of self-defense to follow the
progressive example. When farmers go
home-seeking they are drawn irresistibly
to counties blessed with modern high
ways; and towns in good roads coun-
ties enjoy, for the same reason, advan-
tages over towns to and from which the
roads are poor"
This philosophy, always as plain as the
way to parish church but, like most really
important truths, long neglected, is striking
home at last to the common sense of every
community that cares at all for it's present
interests and it's future growth. With road
betterment bond issues being authorized on
every hand and in almost every week, the
county that continues to neglect this basical-
ly important interest will soon find itself in
the dark rearward of the Commonwealth
For wherever men observe and reflect it is
realized more and more keenly that poor
roads, like poor schools, are a grievous bar
to progress and prosperity.
Buying a bond after the war is over is

Georgia's V1taI Statistics.

The Georgia State Bureau of Vital Statis-

enough not given a maintenance fund un-
til the beginning of 1919, is at last in OPP
Grafton. It's value to the public will be in
estimable if it is accorded due co-opera-
ton by the town and county authorities
Georgias lack of anything like an ade-
quate system Of obtaining and keeping
record of her births, deaths, causes Of
deaths, and kindred data has seriously
hampered her health work and held her
from her rightful rank in the reports of
the National Government. In sustained
campaigns against disease as in all under
takings Of consequence, complete and de-
pendable records are highly essential.
Without such records the most earnest and
most competent efforts are all too fire.
