South Georgia Leadership.
From the Americas Times-Recorder.

Word comes from Moultrie, where the
Georgia D. A. R. annual convention is in
session, that Mrs. Max E. Land, wife of the
mayor of Cordele, will be elected state
president without opposition at this after
rooms session.
Which causes US to throw up our hat and
call for three lusty cheers for the leadership
of south Georgia women.
1t begins to look like the Third congress
sional district were getting corner on state
wide honors for women in Georgia Let's
see. Here we have Mrs. j. E. Hayes, of
MOntezuma, president of the Georgia Fed
GRAFTON of Women's clubs, and Mrs. Frank
P Harold, of Americas, president of the
Georgia u D. c., and now added to these
is Mrs. Land of Cordele, president of the
Georgia D. A. R.
1t has not been so long since North Geor-
gia seemed to carry off all the honors of
this character. But apparently a change has
taken place. South Georgia women are as
sorting their leadership. And, it may also be
said, proving themselves worthy of it.

MUST DO YOUR PART

From the cambridge Post-SearchIight
Brother, the day of panhandling the coun-
ty newspaper is past. You have to treat it
like you do any other institution or bust
ness. In days gone by you could ride rough
shod over your county paper under the guise
of community stuff, but now you can't do
that. If you want your paper to Go any
thing just meet it half way and you will get
it done, but it will no longer carry the
burden of progress and let you reap all the
results and get the credit. Get busy and
meet your local newspaper half way or there
it not thing doing. The worrn has turned.

part of one who compels such suicide. 1t
would be murder to starve or torture an in
dividual until he committed suicide to es-
cape the hunger or torture. But in all these
cases there would be physical force. In the
case in Kentucky there was no physical
force. The victim was only influenced by
his fear of disgrace. 1t would seem like
stretching the criminal law long ways in
order to convict, despite the fact that the
innovation is no greater than other changes
of criminal procedure have been.

My Pal.

She's nothing of high-brow,
Yet nothing of a fool;
She doesn't boast of her knowledge,
Yet topped her class at school.
She reads the daily papers,
Is up in each book;
But one way is peculiar
She really likes to cook!
She leans a bit to suffrage,
And rather thinks she'd vote,
But is not politician
She saws they get her goatr'
She wouldn't go to congress,
Nor care to make a speech,
But when you'd eat her dinners
You'd say she was a peach.
She never wrote a novel,
Nor yet a problem-play;
But still her mind is active
On topics of the day.
She'd not be called a genius,
And doesn't seek to SHINE,
But-mighty good to live with
Is this dear old pal of mine

A tax of two or three cents gallon on
gasoline to build roads has been proposed.
Don't do it. Put the tax on bread and bacon.

necessities, but they mustn't be deprived of
their luxuries.

TRAPPED.

From the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal.
Apparently we are never to get out of the
war with Germany The fighting ceased
nearly sixteen months ago. A peace confer
ence came to terms in seven months. The
rest of the time has been spent by the senate
in vain effort to master the required two
thirds majority for this or some other form
of settlement. Now hope for success seems
to have been abandoned.

THE CONSUMER WILL PAY

From the Alexander Herald
The commission appointed by President
Wilson, to settle the coal miners strike, has
recommended that the miners be given an
increase of 25 per cent in wages. That means
that the price of coal to consumers will
be tilted to meet the increased cost of pro-
duction. But, then, the public does not mind;
it is used to standing increased costs all
along the line

Pouring oil on trou bled waters is not
such a wise stunt after all, in the
opinion Of coastguard officials here

the mystery with his explanation
that the explosion was Of 1000 tons
Of oil discharged from the tanker
Cambrille, which grounded and had
TO discharge her cargo TO get a1oat
again. An engineer set fire 10 a
bundle Of waste and threw IT in the
water after the oil, resulting in a
literal sea Of fire" This explained
why no debris had been found by
searchers for a missing ship.
