DORRIS BELIEVES
new COUNTIES HELP
FURNISH ATLANTA INTERVIEW
TELLING OF MANY I'M
PROVEMENTS.

Atlanta. Ca May 17.--Fifteen new
Georgia counties created by leg IA
tive enactment, have already added
about $17,000,G00 tic taxable property
values in the state, and Will double
that within the next three CT four
years, according to Senator ". H..
Doris of Cordele, one Of the prime
n,a3yers in the making Of new counties.
Senator Doris has made personal
investigation of the results Of new
count growth N Georgia and find
that the fifteen new counties in queS-
ton now have property valuations CT
approximately $5O.O00OO0; so that,
based On the old figures, the increase
since these new counties have been cr-
ganizcd, is more than so per cent. 1t
must be remembered in this connec-
ton that several of these new coun-
ties are not more than two or three
years old.
1--WE new county folks have taken
back woods sections, put good roads
through them and turned them into
some of the most valuable farming
areas in the South" Senator Doris
said. Besides, all the farmers are
with in easy reach Of their court
houses, and they are not annoyed as
they formerly were, in having to at
tend court"
I'VE feel that, the movement to es-
tablish new counties where the con
ditions justified them, has been
thoroughly vindicated, in the remark
able growth in tax values for the state,
if nothing else.
"But aside from that, it is not Who'll
ly question of tax values. 1t has
made for the betterment of Georgia
communities. Not only has my own
county, Crisp, increased $2,50000O
in property values, but Cordele is to-
day, a bigger, better and more hust
ling city than ever or than it could
possibly have been had it continued
in the background as tail to the
Dooly county kite. But Dooly has
also prospered and Vienna is better
off, through the healthy competition
that has been created. From a care
full study of the situation ! am cCnfi
dent that similar conditions exist
wherever new counties have been
created. The people, have better
schools, better public buildings and
they are more ready and willing to
hni nd to
selves for good roads and other in-
provements which help the state as
much as they do the community it.
SELF
DR.. ]. H. Carter of Alma, Bacon
county, former member of the legis
lature, who was here with Senator
DCrris, was equally enthusiastic in
his statement.
"In these fifteen new county Seats"
said DR.. Carter, Georgia has today
fifteen wideawake and progressive
city communities of a splendid charac-
ter she could not have had, if the
new counties had not been given
them. They needed this recognition
for their proper development, and
there is no doubt about the fact that
they have responded we'll to it."
Both Senator Doris and Dr. Carter
stated they did not, under any circum-
stances, favor the indiscriminate
creation of new counties, without re-
gard to surrounding conditions. But
they stated that wherever the condi-
tions do justify it, they felt emphati-
cally that the communities asking for
them should be recognized.

FARM PROFITS

Rural Business Men Are Well
Able to Take Up Their Share
i'm the victorious Fifth"

More than ever before the Ameri-
can farmer finds himself in the posi-
ton of comfort and prosperity which
is his just due. Lean years are for
him no longer.
Last year the average of farm
earnings broke all records. Six mil
lion farms in 1918 produced crops
worth s12,2So,0o0, 900. This year it
is estimated that a greater wheat
acreage than ever will be shown.
Naturally, the farmer is making the
most of his opportunities. and with
guaranteed wheat prices and higher
prices for everything he grows, the
outlook for him is most encouraging.
And Europe will furnish market
doubtless for all he can grow, in
Guiding his fat hogs at $50 and his
steers at $50 per.
1t would be interesting, if possible
to assemble comparative statements
of tha farmers bank accounts now
and five years ago, and the Est OF
mortgages that have been cancelled.
And it would be more interesting per-
haps TO have a statement of the Lib
erty Bonds now IN the hands OF these
sillers Of the soil.
And very soon the farmer will have
an opportunity to prove that he is
not without loyalty as well developed
/ as any mans. For another loan is
almost in sight, q loan that VIII draw
upon us all.
Because Of his price guarantee OF
S2.26 q bushel, Uncle Sam stands to
lose from so to rs cents upon every
bushel of wheat harvested next sea
son Having made this guarantee to
the farmer. he will make it good
| That is Uncle Sans way.
! But what Is Mr.. Farmer going tc
! do for Uncle Sam in the next Liberty
( Loan?
| In every Liberty Loan to date tie
farmer, as a class, has bought less
bonds than men in other prosperous
classes. He has been able mean
time to get more sugar. and coal, anC
everything else upon which the gov
eminent put a restriction, than other:
have.
The big question now. when h
stands to cash in at a Is per cen
| premium upon his wheat crop, is wha
is he going to do next Liberty LoaI
| drive?
Some Liberty Loan officials are sug
costing that the farmer should bu,
$500 bond for each 100 bushels o
wheat that he sells to the govern
ment. He has made the profit an,

Mrs Anna (Smith) Balestier, 81,
widow of Henry Wolcott Balestier, died
suddenly Saturday evening from a
strcke of apoplexy which she sustained
while seated at the dinner table at the
English Tea house on Terrace street,
where she had been living.
She came to the table apparently
in as good health as for the past sever
al weeks, suffered the stroke shortly
afterwards, was carried to couch in
the sitting room and died in about five
minutes DR.. Fremont Hamilton was
called and arrived just before Mrs Bal
estier died.
Mrs. Balestier was a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Erasmus Peshine Smith of
Rochester, n. Y, and was born in that
city. In 1860 she married Mr.. Balestier
of New York, who died in New York in
1870 at the age of 30 years, leaving four
children. They We're Wolcott, an author
who elaborated with Rudyard Kip
ling i'll several novels which attracted
wide attention and who died in Ores
den early in. December, 1891; Caroline
Starr, wife of Rudyard Kipling, now
living in England; Beatty S. of this
town, and Josephine, wife of DR.. Theo
dore Durham of New York city, and
who with her husband is spending the
winter in Brattleboro.
| Mrs. Balestier s husband was son oil

After the death of Mrs. Balestier I
husband she and her four children cam,
to Brattleboro to live, and she haC
spent greater part of the time her,

Her father was a man of high dis
tinction in law and in public affair
with which he was connected. Hi
knowledge of international law was o
great value to William H. Seward an,
Hamilton Fish, as secretaries of state
/ His most notable work was accom-
lplished when, in 1871, under the recon-
mendation of Secretary Fish, he wen
to Japan as adviser to the Mikado il
international law. He was the frs
American to thus assist the Japanes
government in an official capacity an
he did much toward the advancement
of the kingdom in the path of moder

COVETED VICTORIA CROSS.
Open to All Ranks-Now Carries
Teurfo1,

Pension.
The Victoria Cross was founded on Jan
%, 1856 The " {. came into being in
this way
At the close Of the Crimean war it was
found that there was no means OF con
fcrring distinction upon men who had
performed prodigics Of valor beyond the
usual medal to which even non-combat.
ants were entitled
Queen Victoria, therefore, decided to
institute the Victoria Cross, and in Hyde
Park she pinned the new decoration to
the breasts Of g naval and military re-
cipicnts.
The conditions Of tile Y. G. are both
severe and simple. To be eligible q man
has to belong to some recosnized fighting
force at the time Of his exploit, and to be
recommended as having shown eonspicu-
Gus gallantry in the face Of the enemy.
There are certain other points about
the v G. which help TO make it unique
Unlike various orders, it is absolutely
democratic For example, the Dstin-
gulshed Service Order can he worn by
an officer only, but the " c. is open to
all ranks On the other hand, not being
an order, but d decoration. the r. G.
carries no social rank or precedence
Against this, when worn on the breast,
the Y. G. has precedence over az other
orders decorations, and medals. and is
always placed first-that is, on the right
hand side of the left breast
The v G. carries 4 pension with it.
Until Piper Findlater won his cross on
the heights OF Dargal this pension was
only few pounds a year InvaEdcd out
OF the service on account Of his wounds
Piper Findlater found himself reduced
70 extreme poverty, and accepted an Of
Ter to appear on the music hall stage
The spectacle, however, Of here com
PEELED to make show OF himself in
order to earn his bread aroused public
INDIGNATION and sympathy.
Today the V. G. man, officers excepted
IS entitled to a pension Of not less than
$50, and not more than $3.50 year ac
cordng to his circumstances the pension

If man earns the v c more thar
