Of Our Staff
Today the creator Of successful real estate ideas
must indeed possess a rare mental makeup
While he must, Of course be thoroughly fa-

Yet he is still wanting in wealth Of resource If HI
lacks comprehensive acquaintance with life
and human psychology.
And so, in selecting men worthy of places IN our
service staff we have necessarily been exacting \ot
only do require that they be entirely qualified
and possess higher ideals but We particularly
demand that they work in closest co-opera-
ton with each client they serve Capable

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

= When it comes to relieving distress and
suffering there are no more liberal people in
the world than those of Dawson and Terrell
county. Few there are who do not cheerfully
respond to the calls upon their purses of the
physically needy. But in ndiscriminate giving
the generosity of individuals is often apt to
be abused by unworthy and INSCRIPTIONS
mendicants, and likewise the really deserving
some times do not receive the kind of aid they
need and deserve. In no better way can char
ity be dispensed than through the medium of
an organized body in a community which
distinguishes between the worthy and the I'M
worthy and directs its efforts intelligently and
in the manner where the greatest good is &C
complished.
In many towns and cities associated chart
ties supported by individual contributions
have successfully solved the problem of in
telligent alms-giving and relief of the needy
By their methods of inquiry and means OF
investigation many rank imposter has been
exposed, and at the same time real suffering
has been relieved much more effectively and
permanently than it could have been through
individual efforts solely.
1t would seem that there is great need for
such an organization in Dawson. There is ev-
cry indication that the coming winter will not
only be attended by want and suffering by no
few of certain classes in this county but that
a considerable floating population will call
upon the people for help. With such pros
pect i'll view no more opportune time could
be found to establish the organized charities
Of Dawson.

FACING ABOUT.
From the Macon Telegraph.

The government decided some time back
that credit dehation would be an excellent
thing for the country. Too much credit was
going the rounds, it reasoned, and things were
getting to be much too easy and convenient
for some people, considering that the earth
is no Elysian Field and paradise should not
be for man this side the silvery stars.
The government was thoroughly convinced
that too much credit was bad for the blood OF
the body polite and the general run OF folks.
It, therefore, inaugurated policy looking to-
ward a drastic curtailment OF credit III the
land of the blue grass the sugar cane and the
goldenrod. But the time came when the shoe
was given trial on the other foot And then
what a howl!
The Western Union Telegraph company
perhaps as result OF constant ASSOCIATION
with the ideas and policies of the government,
seems to have been specially. impressed with
the logic of the governmental edlet regarding
credit curtailment The telegraph corpora
ton further decided that no better customer
could be selected in its adoption OF the plan
than the government. itself, which protested
to believe religiously in credit deHation. ana
as the state department had been owing the
Western Union since August, 1919, over
year, for services, that fraction of the gov
eminent was selected for the inauguration OF
credit curtailment.
From now on, announces the Western I'm
ion, the state department is to have no credit
in the sending of cablegramS but must take
its place in the pay in advance" line. Yet
who can blame the telegraph company? A
year and three months is long time to ask
any company to wait for its money due on
service rendered. The employees rendering the
service could not and did not wait year and
three months for their pay from the company
| 1t is not probable the corporations furnishing
the Western Union with supplies and para
phernalia necessary to the cable business give
it that long time in which to pay for same
Why, then, should the telegraph company
be forced to wait so long on its customers
| for what is due?
The government demands prompt payment
OF all taxes 1t should also promptly pay its
own debts, and thereby set better example
for the business of the country

The World Needs Optimism.
From the Shreveport (La.) Times.

No individual can live normal life under
influences that make for the utmost in pessi-
mism. Nations are made up OF individuals and
no nation can make progress if its own woes
and the woes of the world in general are be-
ing constantly paraded for the purposes OF
atousing sympathy or enabling some writer to
earn little money from the magazines.
1t is true that countries like Armenia and
Austria are just now in need of the substantial
aid of all people charitably disposed, and it is
also true that other millions need encourage
ment in their efforts to recover from the et-
fects OF the world war; but America especially
is being fed up" with the jeremads of pedan-
tic contributors to magazines and other peri
odicals.
Sometimes it is not sympathy, but kick,
that will do the the individual the most good,
for it will encourage him to go out and do
something for himself. Workers, not winners,
are the need of the time in every nation, and
this one in particular.
Radcalism i'll literature is the bane OF any
people, and there has been food of this sort
of writing in the United States for some time.
The world needs constructive criticism, but it
should not be weakened in its efforts to make
progress by the pessimists who deCry every
thing that does not originate in their own cir
cumscribed minds

TOO MANY CARNIVALS.

1t is said that a number of carnival COM
panies are headed for Dawson this winter.
If such is fact The News believes that it
expresses the sentiment of a large majority
of the best people OF the community in sug
gesting to the city council that it place great
er restrictions upon the right Of operation of
such amusements in Dawson. In fact, the
entire restriction OF carnivals for a period at
least, would not be Objectionable, we believe,
to most of our people. Such so-caed attrac-
tons, as rule, are neither edfying nor
profitable, and it is hard to see how the town
benefits in any sense whatever from them. 1t
is a time when the people are being called
upon to use the strictest economy, and in the
aggregate a large sum of money would be
taken out of the community by these carnival
companies, if permitted to operate here, with
no adequate return therefor.

DRAINING SWAMP LANDS.

If the plans launched by the newly created
drainage district of Dougherty and portions
of Baker and Calhoun counties are carried
out proposed large area of what is now
worthless land will be made as valuable as
any now in cultivation in that section. The
News has heretofore called attention to the
Georgia aw which enables counties or portions
of counties to form drainage districts
for these reclamation projects, and it is
to be hoped that citizens of Terrell county
will take advantage of this excellent oppor-
tunity for clearing up and making tiHable
some of the waste land in one or two sec
tons of the county.
In discussing the drainage project in that
section the Albany Herald says: 1T is hoped
that plans which have been on foot for some
time to reclaim from swamp and pond and
marsh of the most fertile sections of
Southwest Georgia will soon be successfully
worked out. The results would be a revea-
ton of what drainage accomplish for
health and other improvement"

HOW MONEY GROWS.

The will OF Benjamin Franklin, who died
in 1870, contained bequest of $4,000 to the
city OF Boston and the state of Massachu-
sets, as mark of respect for having ap-
pointed him as agent in England at the
handsome salary of $4,000 yearly" The will
also provided that the money should be put
out at per cent interest for 100 years. At
the end OF that time 31-131 of the accumu-
lated money should be reinvested at per
cent for another hundred years. The remain
der becomes available for public benefits. At
the expiration of the second century the whole
amount becomes so.
When the first century ended January |,
1891 the $1,000 had grown to $43l, 1888. That
amount is equally Invisible by 131 and is the
reason for the peculiar fraction of division
which Franklin made a part of the bequest.
He had worked out the amount the gift would
be worth at that time In accordance with the
provisions of the will the sum was divided.
The reinvested amount was $102,083 The
city and state received the remainder, which
amounted to $500, 800 This sum was set aside
for public works
On January /, 1920, the Understanding
fund had reached 1921, l95 By the end of the
century that is in 1901, it will have reached
Approximately $6,OOO,OOO The gift was insig-
nihcant when it was made. Had the state
and the city used it then neither would have
realized more than a remembrance from it.
But Franklin saw the possibilities of the &C
cumuated interest, and when the end of the
second century arrives the state and city will
have fund worth while.

Iowa's Big Corn Farm.
From the Sloan (Iowa) Star.

One of the show places in this section this
fall is the Adams ranch over in Sac county
near Odebolt. There are 5000 acres of corn
on the place this year. which is now being
harvested. This is being done by the lining
up every morning OF 100 wagons drawn by
200 mules, a man to each wagon. There is
a hospital on the farm and the place resem-
bles village, because of the large number
of buildings required to house the force and
care for the stock needed in it's operation This
place was formerly known as the Wheeler
ranch, being owned and operated by H. C..
Wheeler, who was defeated as the republican
candidate for governor in 1894 by Horace
Boies.
