A Tybee Sensation
From the Savannah Press.

A sensation was created at Tybee yester-
day by the appearance of a lady IN bath
ing dress. The sensation was caused by the
oddly of the costume. 1t was certainly
unique and in a measure prehistoric. 1t
smacked of the museum and the hall of relics.
The woman who wore it was rather good
looking, but few looked at her because they
were so intent upon studying the garment
she donned with the idea of going into the
ocean for late afternoon dip. 1t was dark
blue in color and made of some sort of flan-
mel material. 1t had wide skirt that came
below the knees and underneath this was
worn a pair of black cotton stockings. The
waist of the bathing costume was cut high.
There was no exposure of the neck and the
sleeves-there was disgraceful waste of ma
teral in their making. They covered the
ady's elbows.
Underneath the skirt there was a pair of
boomers that were evidently built for the
purpose of hiding from view the form of the
fair wearer.
When this visitor to the beach stepped out
upon the white sands of fybee and started
for the water she at once attracted unusual
and marked attention. Had she gone for a
stroll on the beach in a dress with hoop
skirts and wearing poke bonnet she couldn't
have been more gazed upon. There was
much speculation as to where this ancient
rig could have been found All the public
bath houses denied having any such garment
in stock.
The wearer was painfully conscious of the
fact that she was the observed of all OBJ
servers, for she soon retired from the water
and sought the security and the sacred secret
ness of her bath room.
After she had gone the beach resumed its
usual appearance. Maidens in Annette Kel-
Germans, matrons who plumply filled gaily
colored suits, sans skirt, sans sleeves, sans
stockings, and sans wearers' bushes, pursued
the even tenor of their way. And so did the
others who were there to see what was going
on.
"Some people are SO prudish," said one
corn-fed who disported in a shrimp pink suit
of negligible quantity and who wore sandals
on her feet and gay bathing cap upon her
head.
Moral: Old-fashioned folks have no place
in the makeup of humanity on twentieth
century beach.

Writes of Trip to Texas

BRONWOOD, GA, July 19.-Editor Daw-
son News: l can't write. a very interesting
letter, but will do the best can. On June lst
wife and started to Texas to visit her broth
ers z. T., J. E. and R. S. Womack, to be
away four weeks, but On account of her sick
ness we were delayed another week.
l saw so many things that never saw be-
fore that l will not try to tell all of it, but
will say that on June Sd l saw some of the
best corn had ever seen at that date, and it
was of the regular old crib variety too, in
full silk and tassel. This was about Reserve,
La.
| stopped at Streetman, Freestone county,
Texas and the crops about there were young
but very good. Corn at that time was as
high as my head and so green it was almost
black Cotton was of all sizes and condl-
use any guano, but think it would pay them
as we'll or better than here.
Now, the main object of this letter is to
say something about the land and boil weevll
and worm. l was badly fooled in the lay OF
the land out there. | thought it was a level
country, but the part l visited was very roll
ing. Cotton was planted in the bottoms as
well as on the hills and levels, whereas we
plant the hills and level land in cotton and
boil weevil is there and at work, but the
farmers don't seem to care. They don't com
bat him any, But they dread the boil worm
more than the weevil. All that they do to
destroy the weevi is when they lay by their
cotton they make sharp, high bed to the
cotton row so that when the square fails on
it will roll down into the middle into the
sunshine. One farmer, when told that we
were putting poison out for the weevil, laugh
ed and said that it was all mistake to put
poison out for them, that they get their
sustenance for life in the grub stage and their
only duty was to puncture squares. They all
believe that the pink boil worm is the same
worm that is in the end of the ear of corn;
he is first green and his feet turn pink after
eating a few cotton bolls.
Texas is away ahead of US as to tools to
pillow WITH but think we know more about
the weevh and how to kill it. went from
Freestone county up to Dallas, then to Col
Inns county into the black land section, and
enjoyed my visit very much. The country
up there is very rugged, and lands are selling
from $3.50 to $500 an acre. Respectfully,
G. L. MASSEY.

STOCK LOT BABIES.

John Clayton, an American correspondent
in Russia, quotes the head of the child well
fare bureau under the bolshevist government
that more than half of the children of that
country are now cared for in state institu-
lions instead of by their mothers. The de-
duction from the story of the correspondent
is that under soviet rule women are only
necessary to give birth to children; that the
government steps in and takes over the prog
eny Just as the breeder of live stock takes
the progeny of his high class females and
develops them without any reference to the
natural relation between mother and off
spring 1t makes the Russian mother
merley an animal, stiles her mother
instincts, deprives her of the joy OF
accomplished motherhood and the delight of
caring for her own flesh and blood, and at
the same time deprives the child of that great
influence of mother love, tenderness, devo-
ton and sacrifice which lies at the founda-
ton of manhood and womanhood among all
civilized people 1t makes her heartless, in
human, cold and unresponsive to those di-
vine sentiments that give motherhood its
sacredness.
That is the result of the doctrine of filthy,
unwashed, ignorant, brutalized bolshevists.
1t is what that class of people are seeking
70 foist upon unthnking people of this coun-
try as the great solution of human unhappi-
ness. 1t makes the blood boil to contemplate
the monstrous bestiality and calloused inhu-
mainly of the doctrines that ignorant, but
sometimes sincere, people in this country ad-
vocate.
The far reaching results of the soviet stock
lot method of raising babies are appalling.
Children will grow up without conception of
parental love or filial relations. They will be
as cattle in sentiment When the generation
so raised comes to maturity and becomes the
fathers and mothers of the next generation
that brutality will be intensified and the
downward tendency toward the brute creation
will be intensified A few generations will
carry the result down to the point where all
human sentiment will be eliminated and the
individuals will be mere brutes in thought and
soul

DARK MOMENTS.

EveEy life must have its dark moments
lust as every month and year must have
their periods of cloud. Enjoyment is largely
a matter of contrasts; there would hardly be
words to interpret happiness were there no
such things as sorrow in the world, II all
the dark moments could be assembled, each
bringing it's own, it would very likely be dis
covered that the rich have as many or more
of them than the poor, and that the outwardly
merry and apparently careless would be as
extensive contributors to the collection as
those who bear their woes upon their tongue
or possess a fixed air of gloom smile
often masks breaking heart. In times OF
darkness may we not become Respondent, but
rather cling close to hope, believing that ev-
cry situation in life is link in a chain OF
events that composes the whole. In the
hereafter it may be found that the dark mo-
ments were the real jewels in the crown.

Boil Weevil Helped
From The Atlanta Constitution.

"The boil weevil is the farmers friend, y
says The Dawson (Ga.) News; for the reason
that it has been in that section of the state
for at least five years, and
at has wrought a revolution in agri-
culture by causing diversifcation of
crops and intensive cultivation, with the
result that the farmers are more pros
porous and Independent than ever be-
fore in their lives. Although the acreage
has been reduced great deal of cotton
is yet produced-almost as much per
acre as before. In fact, instances of
where farmers gathered as much as a
bale per acre last year are not lacking.
Early planting heavy fertilization, rapid
cultivation and picking up punctured
squares will insure a good cotton yield in
spite of the boil weevil."
As the Dawson paper sees it, in many in
stances the weevil "has been an ally in bring
ing prosperity to the farm"
And that is pretty much the view where
because of it, the diversified crop plan is be,
ing followed
The fight against it has not been relaxed in
any section; but the most effective fight has
been in the planting of a variety of crops

LOSS OF RURAL POPULATION.

Census figures so far announced show a
decrease in nearly all of the rural counties, or
counties without a large city, in Georgia.
Terrell is not an exception. Important
and interesting facts are disclosed in the re-
suits made public. Fifty-eight of the cities
whose populations have been given out more
than double their population during the last
ten years. Sixteen of these cities have more
than $4,000 population. The greatest gain IN
any one city is 1896 per cent. The lowest IS
1O4 per cent The average for the sixteen
was 3O5 per cent Fourteen range in popu-
lation from 5000 to $4,000. The highest in
crease in this class is TIP per cent and the
lowest is 11S per cent, while the average for
the entire group is 221 per cent. Twenty
eight cities are listed whose populations are
below 5000 The highest increase in this
class is SCI per cent, the lowest is 1O2 per
cent and the general average for the group
is 210 per cent.
The distribution of the cities geographical
" shows that the abnormal increases In city
populations is not confined to any section OF
the country. Thirty-thr are in the north
which includes New England New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Kansas
Eight are in the west, which includes all the
states west of North Dakota, South Dakota,
Seventeen are in the south, which includes all
the states south and east of the two groups
mentioned.
The statistics quoted taken in connection
with the increase in city populations which
are abnormally high, but which did not pass
the doubling point, show heavy increase
in urban population. The population OF the
United States in 1910 was 91,972,266. If the
estimates of the present census hold good it
will be about los, 100000, an increase of about
ID per cent. 1t is plain that if these figures
are correct the population of the country is
centralizing in the cities, where the increases
are far greater than in the country as
whole.
Nothing could so forcibly illustrate the
drift cityward and away from the country
as this analysis of the census returns. A
few years ago it was believed that taking
the city to the farm would solve the suburb
an problem. The telephone, the development
of lighting and sanitary systems for farm
homes, the improvement in household as we'll
as field machinery which removes the drudg-
cry of farm life, the development of civic
centers and other like movements were ad-
vanced as the panaceas for discomfort Of
the young people in the isolation of the farm
and the tendency to drift to the city But if
the census figures quoted are any criterion
by which to judge those panaceas have aug
mented instead of ameliorated them. No at
tempt is now being made to analyze the hu-
man elements in the drift cityward. Thus
discussion deals only with results, not with
causes. But it is clear that, whatever the
cause, it has been increased instead of di-
minished during the last decade.

A REPUBLICAN WARNING.

The shouting of the republican spellbind-
ers, rooters, cheer leaders and fans that the
nomination of Governor Cox assures the cleo
ton of Senator Harding will not have any
effect upon democrats, who are not scared
by loud noises. That it may have some eff
feet upon the republicans is evidently feared
by Boss Penrose, who warns them that they
have their work cut out for them, and that
they had better not be too sure of anything
until the votes are counted.

COST OF PRINT PAPER.

During the past week the Gazette has
paid out over $50O-to be exact, $537.56,
for news print paper. And that is less
than three months supply. A few years
ago that money would have paid for
enough paper to last year. Although
newspapers get more money for what
they have to sell it is costing a great
deal more to produce it. And the ad
vance in news print is no greater in pro-
portion than the advance in all other
things going to make newspaper-Tif-
ton Gazette.
The News, too, has had forcible reminder
of the high cost of print paper. We recently
paid $758 for shipment that would have
cost much less than half that sum a short
time ago. AS the Griffin News and Sun says
it takes big money to run newspaper these
days, and the cost of print paper and other
things necessary to the publication of news
paper makes it imperative to hustle early
and late to make ends meet.

There are unmistakable evidences that re-
action has set in. Industry is slowing up
as much because of inability of capital longer
to meet the demands of labor as on account
of transportation facilities. AS the natural
result more men are out of work than at any
time since the war began, and as the pendu-
lum swings farther back towards normal
their number will be increased.
