Funny BUSINESS.

The Moultrie Observer, one of Georgia's
observant and most level-headed newspa-
pers, notes that Ginning up with Watson is
a crime in the eyes of certain Georgia news
papers except when they are doing the lin
ing up" and our contemporary would like
to find zone newspaper now abusing Hoke
Smith or Tom Hardwick for their associa-
tions with Watson in this campaign or in
the presidential campaign, who have not
at one time or another been lined up with
Watson in the support of some candidate"
Continuing, the Observer says when Wat
son was a co-worker with the Atlanta
Constitution he was fine fellow, but when
he opposes that papers candidate he is
renegade and all who receive his support
are like him." which reminds the Observer
that only recently the Constitution was
smiling at Watson and making eyes of the
"come hither' sort, as witnesses the fol-
lowing extract from the famous editorial
in the Constitution during the presidential
campaign in this state lauding the McDuf-
fie man:
''While Mr., Watson disagreed with the
democratic administration concerning the
league OF nations MS voice ana MS pen
have been consistently arrayed in be-
half of every measure necessary to sus-
tain the national honor and to support
our soldiers in the war with Germany"
''The molasses failed to get Watson" and
now this same newspaper views his activities
with alarm, and nothing too harsh can be
said of him.
1t is a funny business, this matter of
biennial relations between Watson and the
Georgia politicians. When he permits one
faction to go to bed with him they journey
frequently to Hickory Hill. They submit
platforms for approval, receive advice and
instructions, and come away confident and
happy after the laying on of magic hands.
At such times he is patriot, scholar and
a statesman, and his utterances of condem-
nation are widely quoted. "They swallow
him WHOLE as the Observer says, "and
come to the front smiling" In the eyes of
the other faction, at such time, he is all
that is abominable, disreputable and I'M
worthy And vice versa.
The truth is, neither crowd dislike Wat
son as much as they dislike to face defeat
in Georgia politics.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

There was recently held in Dawson
meeting of farmers of the southeastern part
of Terrell county for the purpose OF DIS
cussing the organization of drainage dis
trict and the reclamation of waste lands
under the state drainage law. No further
action has yet been taken in the matter
however 1t is to be hoped that the idea has
not been abandoned, and that land owners
of the county will realize that here is an
opportunity which should be embraced by
all means.
The neighboring county of Dougherty
has undertaken a comprehensive drainage
project for the western part of that coun-
ty. The Albany Herald, in discussing the
plan, says that west Dougherty land sells
at the lowest price of any land in the coun-
ty while it is at the same time the most fer
tile of all. "Why then" it is asked
''is the per acre value of this splendid
land so much lower than the per acre val
ue of land in other parts of the county?
No Dougherty countian need to be told.
1t is because a considerably larger per-
centage of west Dougherty land is swampy
and pondy than is true of the rest of the
county, and because health conditions
are, as a consequence, not as good as
where the land is better drained. 1t will
greatly increase the value of farm lands.
1t will reclaim thousands of acres not
now tillable. 1t will increase tax values
by millions of dollars, thus benefitting
the entire county, including Albany. Mod
ern drainage is worker of miracles. 1t
reclaims land practically valueless and
makes it available for the growing of
valuable crops, and transforms whole
sections given over to frogs and mos
quitoes into those where prosperity and
contentment reign"
It was really for south Georgia's benefit
that this legislation was passed, and yet
north Georgia has gone forward much more
rapidly and extensively taking advantage
of it. There are hundreds of acres in the
southern part of Terrell county which are
now swamp that could be turned into the
richest kind of farming land with a COM
paratively small outlay on the part of the
owners, if the opportunity offered by the
public drainage act is embraced. Aside from
the turning of waste land into tillable soil
proper drainage will work wonders in the
improvement of health conditions.

ADDING The FREIGHT.

The public needs to be aroused and on
guard against the addition of more than
the increase in freight and express rates to
the cost of commodities. In other lines,
notably in coal, the producers have multi
piled the increase in wages three and four
times in fixing the amount added to the
cost to the consumer The same policy may
be attempted in reference to the increases
in the prices of all commodities carried by
the railroads. 1t is estimated that the ad-
ditional cost because of the wage increase
for a suit of clothes shipped from New
York to San Francisco would be 10 cents in
car load lots. But suppose a generous mar
gin above that point is made and the cost
be fixed at 25 cents by car lots, then the
cost in broken car lots could not be much
more than so cents. But as clothing and
the vast majority of other standard COM
modities are shipped much shorter distances
the actual freight increase would be much
less. The railroads are permitted to add
only the percentage increase to the rates
which previously prevailed. Their increas-
es are matters of cold figures under super
vision by the interstate commerce commits
sion. The wholesaler and retailer will add
the increased cost of transportation to their
prices. That was expected, and is business
methods. But they have no right to add
more than the increase in freight Honest
dealers will not Dishonest ones will.
The honest merchants can render the
public tremendous service by keeping the
increase in prices down to the increase in
transportation. They can sell below the ones
who insist on adding several multiples of
freight increase to the cost of their goods.
The people will buy from the lower priced
merchants if the quality of goods is the
same Hence, the honest dealer can take
trade away from his dishonest competitor,
or force him to keep his increase in prices
down to the mere addition of the increase
in freight. The honest dealer who fol
lows this policy will render a public ser
vice greater than that of a statesman.
Meanwhile, he will be the beneficiary of
the increased public confidence in his hon
esty. The public does not ignore or forget
the merchant who serves it: Public conf
dence is his greatest intangible asset 1t
cannot be bought and sold. 1t must be Sc
cured by long years of effort and square
dealing. When once acquired no merchant
can afford to forfeit it. He may prosper
more abundantly for time by Fleeing the
public but the reaction will come, and
when it does the buying public will shun
him as though he were a pestilence. Those
who have built up a permanent business
have erected the structure on public con-
fidence. They now have an opportunity to
strengthen their structure by making only
such increases in costs to the consumer as
are forced by the increase in freight
charges.

The Call of The Wild.
Hiram Smith in Calhoun Times.


There is in the soul of man a faint of
primeval savagery, deeply implanted long
ing for the environment of prehistoric man.
Deep in the fibre of our nature is the mex
tinguishable love for vast forests swift
rivers, and the open sky
The human race has lived longer on the
earth than we know Crude paintings, rude
stone implements and almost formless
mounds of earth tell US of men that lived
long before the dawn of civilization. For
many thousand years man lived in the open
air, in the caves of the hillsides. He fought
the great prehistoric animals for existence
and IN those long years there was woven into
his nature an element of love for the out
doors, longing for wild, free life.
We have built up iron cities and turned
night into day, but we cannot change our ma
lures in day. Tired business men will still
dream of forest soltudes scented by the
fragrance of hemlock boughs. The swish of
swift rivers will haunt their day dreams and
they will hear the murmur of falling water
through the Earring sounds of the city streets.
In the sweltering heat of the modern caves
where men exist they long for the peace of
the starlit sky, the caress of cool mountain
breezes, the boundless freedom of the great
out of doors.
When the call of the wild comes to YOU
from the past it is best to lay aside all bust
ness and follow where it leads Go back to
vital contact with nature and God When
you return to your work you will bring A
body renewed by contact with the all-regen-
Grating power of nature, a mind uuickened
and revitalized by the transforming power
of new life that throbs through the spaces
of starlit night and quickens all creation in
wooded solitudes.

Colombian Song of Hate.
Sensual, Avaricious Yankee" the
Object of Our Neighbor's Wrath.
From Worlds Work.

Most Colombians have a poor opinion of
US, and J. NJ Vargas Villa is certainly no
exception. The title of this Colombian nov
elist's latest book well describes its con-
tents, the volume being called against the
Barbarians. The Yankee-Behold the Enc
N.Y." That Senior Villa handles us without
gloves will be seen from the following eX-
cerpts from his coruscating pages:
"The Yankees are giving themselves over
to the division and plumber If Latin Ameri-
ca-the Yankee has chosen well his hour,
this tragic and crepuscular hour, in which
none can go in aid of the people he is de-
vouring; the Yankee has exploited the Eu-
ropean war as if it were mine. Why not
make Latin America see what, in reality,
this race and people are? A lustful race,
hostile and contemptuOus, a countless peo-
pie, spurious and cruel, insolent and de-
predatory toward US, with a monstrous
idea of their superiority and an unconquer-
able desire for conquest.
"They are the men of the North, the
descendants of the Norsemen, of the pi-
rates of the Baltic, who in roughly built
boats crossed the black waters under a
misty sky, to begin the pillage of peoples !;
they are the descendants of the worst beg
CARS of Albion and Germany, who emf
grated to america. became powerful, and
who today reel in them the vibrations of all
the atavisms of their adventurous race
what happened in Cuba was but the pro-
logue of dramatic conquest of Ameri-
ca. The Yankee race, proud and mean; a
race of sensual dreamers, avaricious and
cruel. 1t is necessary to combat the Yankee
or frankly declare ourselves his slaves; it
is necessary that we unite ourselves against
the Yankee; it is necessary that from Mex
leo to Cape Horn there be but one brain
to combat him, one arm to resist him. one
heart to hate him. Hate for the Yankee
should be our motto since that hate is our
DUTY

Never Again.


Would America fight in another great
European war should the present Polish
disaster develop one?
Americans whose intimate knowledge of
European affairs enables them to sense the
extreme gravity of the present situation
are seriously asking this question, and many
of them confess that they do not feel sure
of the answer. Let us say at once that only
the very real seriousness Of the crisis in
Europe could impel us to discuss at all so
unwelcome a subject as our possible par
ticipation in another war Our people most
emphatically are in no mood for it. With
their disappointing experiences after the
whole-souled and consciously chivalrous
manner in which they rushed, regardless of
life or money, to the rescue of the sorely
pressed allies in 1918, the slogan that to-
day would best express their feeling might
well read: "Never again" Undoubtedly our
duty will have to be made very, very plain
and imperative before we will again raise
armies and send them to foreign battle
fields. The leaders of the allied nations
abroad. should get this fact firmly into their
minds if they entertain the remotest hope
that. should another vast catastrophe i'm
pend over their thin lines, they can once
more summon in the new world to redress
the dangerously disturbed balance of the
old. The new world is far more reluctant
and suspicious and skeptical touching eth

PUBLIC FLY TRAPS.

The fly season is at its most dangerous
point Just now The midsummer weather
brings its increased storage of disease
germs. These are carried about the city
bv the swarms of flies. Swatting one here
and there by the housewives is like at
tempting to dip. the kinchafOonee creek
dry with gourd. Cleaning up the breeding
places of the pests is the primary method
of getting rid of them. But the fly still
flourishes His migrations, though of short
stages, cover a considerable distance, as
can be proven by exposing an attractive
piece of bait at place a considerable dis
lance from where flies are found at the
time 1t will not be long before it is COW
cred with them.
In some of the southern cities, where the
fly nuisance is serious, public fly traps are
located in the sections which are most in
tested by the insects. These traps are sim
pie in construction. A piece of wire screen
is rolled into cone the larger end of which
fits and is nailed to the inside of the chine
of a barrel from which both heads have
been removed A small opening is left in
a fly to crawl through The barrel is placed
on blocks two or three inches high, over a
board on which fly bait is placed. The top
of the barrel is covered with a pane of
glass. The bait attracts the flies When
they have eaten they do not come from un-
der the edges of the barrel, but move up
ward towards the light and follow the wire
cone until they pass through the small hole
in the top and into the barrel. Not one in a
thousand escapes by finding its way back
through that hole. When the barrel is full
a few rags in which sulphur is wrapped
burned on the bait board destroys the flies
by the barrelful.
The plan not only exterminates the flies,
but draws them away from the homes
where, in spite of the best screening, they
find access to foods, and keeps them away
from their breeding places, thus reducing
the next ten-day crop. The traps work con-
stantly, and with no attention except to
keep them baited and to kill the victims.

WARMING UP IN GEORGIA.

From the Talbotton New Era.
Politics are warming up all over Georgia
-ex-senators and ex-governors are shoot
ing AZ centimeters at each other, which we
hope will kill the enemies of the common
people. What the average, law-abiding man
wants these days is not so much briliiancy
but hohest-to-goodness, sure enough honest
government with public servants who can
not be bought, and with public servants who
do not carry in their hearts hatred of their
fellowmen. Prejudice and hatred will ruin
any government.

There are various estimates of the num-
Der of unemployed throughout this coun-
try at the present time These estimates
run all the way from 100000 to 100000,
variations being possibly due to failure to
take into consideration thousands that are
idle only part of the time. Yet if the cor
rect number should approximate million,
industrial conditions are not satisfactory.
