Girls Lose to Boys.
In a spirited debate last week the
trio representing the senior boys won
the decision over the senior girls.
The subject was: Resolved, that the
love of Dido for Aeneas was greater,
than the loce of Aeneas for DIDO.
The affirmative side was upheld by
Ralph Hill, Virgil Mcdowell and GIN
ford Farrar, while Catherine WlIkln!-
son, Lorena Bridges and Alice Lewis
argued for the negative. Every
speech was good, as were the rebutt-
tails by Catherine wilkinson and Cliff

Charles R. Crisp an Asset
TO Georgia in Congress
(From the Fitzgerald Herald.)

(FrOm the fitzgerald Herald.)
When a man or an organization
has an asset that cannot be replaced
will he deliberately throw it away
and cast it aside? Were he foolish
enough to do this he could not do it
very often for he would soon face
the wall" He cannot afford to
do it if he were inclined to do so.
Neither can the Thira congress
sional district afford to cast aside
the substantial asset that they have
in Mr.. Crisp as congressional rep
resentative from this district.
1t would be very hard to ever
summarize the many reasons why
Mr. Crisp is the man for the place and
his accomplishments and record dur
ing the past few years leave no room
for the critic of his official acts to
advance the slightest possible reason
why he should be replaced.
Mr.. j. Gordon Jones, of Cordele,
is an able, responsible and affable
a better substitute were we forced to
replace Mr.. Crisp for any plausible
reason. He has a right to seek
qualification of his aspirations but
we cannot afford to make this i'm
portant matter a personal matter to
be dealt lightly with.
Mr.. Crisp, after years of hard
work in congress is now in a better
position than ever before to serve his
patronage, and as the editor CT the
Constitution affirms, his loss would
be fatal to the entire state.
We cannot afford % lose such a
man even if we were inclined to place
the honors of this position on an
others Advertisement.

DRINK HOT WATER
IF YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMPLEXION
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath eacn morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
yious days waste, sour fermentatlons
and poisonous toxins before II is aD-
sorbed into the blood. Just as COAL
when it burns, leaves behind a GER
tain amount of incOmbustlble materlaI
in the form of ashes, so the food ana
drink taken each day leave IN the all
mentary organs a certain amount OF
indigestible material, which II not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are IN
tended to suck in only nourlshment
to sustain the body.
If YOU want to see the glow OF
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In
il which is a harmless means of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetenlng ana

Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid com
plexion, also those who wake up with
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
phated hot water drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that lust as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifes and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

The subject was suggested by the
study of VirgiPs Aenead, which con-
stitutes the senior Latin course. Al
bert Petty gave an interesting history
of the Aenead before the debate.
D. H. S. Baseball Practice Started.
Wednesday Coaches Read and
Cheves gave call for candidates for
this years nine. And, believe me, 1t
felt good to be out on the diamond
passing the little sphere again.
The chances for a good team TINS
wear are fair, in fact we have the
material but not the time, on &C
count of the heightened school hours.
For this reason the schedule will be
limited to a few games with nearby
towns.
Now. about the team itself. There
are only four regulars back and these
will have to constitute the backbone
of the club, Joe Nasworthy will
catch, and Joe is as good as they come
in these parts. Virgil Mcdowell, last
years first baseman, will, no doubt,
hold down the initial sack this sea-
son. Second base is a problem. Luz
cius Lamar would offer a solution to
this problem if he were not sick with
influenza. At present Joe Tedder
and Albert Petty are trying for sec
ond. but both look better for the out
field Julian Jordan will play short
stop. his last years's position. Her
bert Bolton looks better at third than
anyone else right now. In the out
field the coaches will have to choose
from Albert Petty, Joe Tedder, G. K.
Cannon, Ivey Jones, Louis Petty,
Burch Roberts, William Edwards,
Wade Hass and others. 1t looks like
Raymond Turner, star hurler, will
have to do all the pitching this year
as he did last.
A game scheduled with Bronwood
Friday had to be called off on &C
count of rain.
An All Day Schedule.
On account of the flu the Dawson
public school was closed for a month
this wear. The time must be made
up in some way as each grade has a
certain amount of work to do each
year.
The only way that the exact num-
Der of hours lost could be made up
would be to continue school through
the month of June. After some de-
liberation. however, the school au-
thorities decided that the work could
be accomplished more efficiently by
having two sessions a day with an
hour between sessions for dinner. If
this schedule proves to be as good
as it is thought to be school will close
in May as usual
The teachers are forced to give
longer lessons than usual so that the
pupils will be able to do the required
amount of work. In order that the
pupils will not have to study all these
lessons at home study periods IN
which several can be learned are Civ
en- at school.
Tenth Grade English Class Holds
Debate.
An interesting debate was held Fri
dav afternoon among the pupils of the
tenth grade. The subject was: Re
solved, that the study of modern Ian
guages is more profitable than the
study of dead languages" The al
firmative side was represented by
Harry C. Lester, Louis Petty and
Eunice Thomson, and Julia Jordan,
Martha Bell and Annie Turner sup
ported the negative side. Croswell
Brim presided. The speeches of all
the debaters were thoroughly enjoyed
by the high school. Mrs. W. H. Gurr,
Miss Remson and Mr.. Read acted as
Judges. They decided in favor of the
negative.

MORE FOR LUXURIES
THAN EDUCATION
Also Cigar and Tobacco Bill
Heavier BY Billion DOL

Memphis, Dec. 11.-Expenditures
in the United States last year for
luxuries, approximately $5,000,000,-
600, was more than 800
per cent. in excess of the
expenditure for education, ?.
P. Claxton, United States commits
sioner of education, told conference
here today of educators and state
officials from six Southern states.
For tobacco alone, Mr.. Claxton as
serted, the expenditure last year was
over S1,000,OO0,000 more than that
spent for education.
IF we can raise the standards of
the persons to whom we intrust the
training of our children through cur
failing our tobacco consumption, y
Mr.. Claxton declared, ''then we
should 'Hooverize' our cigars, Gig
arettes, snuff and chewing tobacco" :"
The ideal school year is 1S0 days,
Mr.. Claxton said, while the average
in the United States now is 1862. He
urged that at least per cent. of the
government revenues be spent for
education. The present expenditure,
he said, was 3-4 per cent.

HOME DEMONSTRATION DEPARTMENT
MISS BESSIE CAMPBELL, Editor.

Welch of Charleston begin to squirm
it is time to sit up and take notice.
/ stood in the postoffice lobby this
morning and heard something ] never
heard before. Old conservatives who,
from Tillman days in the 90's down
to the present hour, were never
heard to arraign public officials on
the score of economy, were reading
The State and uttering lurid COM
nents on the estimates of nearly ten
millions of dollars for running the
government another year. 1t seems
to me that any man with gumptlon
must see that the present wave OF
extravaganza must abate or there is
bound to be trouble in the future. 1t
is not due entirely to the war. The
pillows were rising before that ca
lanaity overlook us. / am inclined to
think that the younger element who
have known little of the pinch Of
hard times are largely responsible.
Coed old John Wesley's wife was
once asked how she reared such an
excellent bunch of worthy sons and
she answered: "By prayer and hlck-
ory." Many Of us not only got that
medicine a plenty but also much
hard work and the most rigid regi-
ment of economy. AS matter of
fact, people are cutting down in this
county as j have not seen them do in
many years, and l can not under
stand why government officials
should not do likewise. I can pay
my taxes and you, Mr.. Editor, can
pay yours, but I know many people
who are really not able to pay the
taxes already imposed. The one big
lesson this age should learn is to
live within its income. We have
fallen upon days of waste and idle
ness. AS a result people as a rule
are not paying their debts and de-
parting from the ways Of the good
old scriptural dictum: ''Thou shalt
earn thy bread by the sweat of thy
brow" Crime is rampant. Get rich
quick schemes are Turing many to
their doom. Let US get back towards
the old moorings and insist on the
government leading the way. I am
collegebredsand believe in education
but I am not so blind as not to see
that there is also lot of good money
being thrown away on mighty trifiing
education and / am not a Bolshevist
either. l want every child in the
state to have, at least, common
school education but let US insist on
more efficiency, application and ju-
sdicious use of funds in schools, col
leges, and all public institutions as
we'll as in private affairs.

same kind. Last fall an agent came
along, selling soap that would do
everything you can think Of. from
beautifying the female complexion to
chasing the cows ont Of the corn. The
agent talked as though he had eight
day works in him. like our old grand
fathers clock, and he didn't make any
impression until he said the soap
would heal all skin diseases Of man
or beast. It happened at that period
that Mr.. Curfew had an imitation bird
dog that he traded good watch for,
and gave dollar to boot, said dollar
having been extracted from my prf-
yate savings, and never returned.
"This dog had the mango or some
disagreeable disease that caused him
to itch in the most reprehensibie man
ner. He was always scratching and
rubbing against everything he could
find. first and last. One day he up
set my parlor table and broke all my
best china, which had placed on the
table few minutes before. He also
upset the sewing machine and the
churn, and /. don't know what else.
$50 when Mr. Curfew heard that
the agents soap would cure skin die
eases, he insisted upon buying cake,
and after he had gone he began to
wash the dog with that marvellous
soap. I don't know what ingredients
said soap contained, bat after it was
rubbed into the dogs skin that an.
fortunate animal became frantic ana
acted as though its reason tottered on. on
it's throne. Mr.. CurfeW tried to hold
the beast, and it reached around ana
bit his ear almost off, and OF course:
he released 1t then, and the uproar
he made, as he danced around the
house. holding his ear with one hand,
and summoning the police with the
other was simply scandalous.
