CAN'T DO 1T NOW
Alas! Poor Man He Is Deprived OF
Almost All OF HIS
Privileges.

Alas, poor man! there is practically
now no place where a man can now
go but that he will find women. For
time--until the last month"; gang
Of men could get together within the
law at wrestling match. but now the
women have invaded these precincts.
The saloon has been closed. A place
which sells near-beer isn't saloon
and place which sells real beer isn't
a lawful place Of assea blage.
If men foregather to play poker
they are likely to be arrested. The
smoking cars have been taken off and
the men cannot smoke on the front
platforms of the street cars. They
find women in their polling places.
Women driving cars are running
them down on the street. Women
are in their golf clubs. The law of
Missouri will not allow the men to
have prize fights or to see them, and
IL the law did we presume women
would be there.
Men have one characteristic of the
American bison. Sometimes the males
want to herd alone. They want to
get away from refining influence and
be coarse creatures. They want to
know that the wives are home mend
ing stockings and they want to be
milling around by themselves
They have their fraterna orders
still. that is true. but we warn these
orders that the way things are going
the women will be in them very
shortly. A man used to be safe at
wrestling match. There he would
not see anything more delicate than
the face of a hard-boiled egg. and in
such company he felt the spiritual in
dependence of the male creature.
1t is good for him occasionally to
breathe the free air OF his ancient
domain when he was lord OF creation
and to herd with his fellow lords and
to escape all feminine suggestion. 1t
is good for him to get his lungs and
eyes full of tobacco smoke and watch
two noble bEutes bash each other and
come home about 2 a. m, smelling
like a half7smoked bad cigar which
some one left all night on an ash
tray. Can he do it any more? lie

Present day interest in outings
across the border has been greatly
stimulated as direct result Of
service overseas. Both in the
United States and in Canada the
statistics Of war have shown that

regular life and outdoor work while
in military camps. Recruits who

HAS 1T FAILED?
Labor Leaders Claim That There Is
Now No Private Industry
Management.

Certain labor leaders in Chicago
have set about taking advantage Of
the present Unemployment period, the
seriousness OF which no sober minded
person ventures to deny. to find a
striking demonstration OF the inability
! OF private owners to manage industry.
Every untoward development since
the outbreak of the world war is at.
tributed by these leaders to the in
/ efficiency and greed Of the captains
OF private industry.
! OF course, the inrerence drawn is
that the government ought to assume
greater control over industry. But
before any one who is not already a
dogmatic convert to communism COM
mits himself to that conclusion no
would do we'll to take a closer look
at the premises.
Is 1t true that the present industrial
situation is the result Of the incom-

of human life and waste OF the prod =
ucts OF human industry? Who was
responsible for the initiation of the
currencies Of the world? What really
caused the dilution of labor now COM
planned Of by these particular union
leaders? Could the war have been
won without the substitution OF the
labor Of women and minors for that
OF the workers who had gone to the
front? Who was responsible for the
orgy OF buying that followed the
armistice? What had private man
| agement to do with creating market
conditions that made profiteering al
most inevitable? Finally. was private
enterprise responsible for the consum-
ers' strike?
Strange, is it not, that these union
labor leaders. in seeking to explain
unemployment, should have forgotten
the great war and all the other m ajor
factors that, together, account for the
present situation. including the tenn.
porary lack Of demand for the prod.
ucts of certain industries! Strange
that they should fail to realize that
the principal remedy for unemploy.
mont is the resumption OF reasonable
buying by the great public in our own

To attribute present economic ills
to the principle OF private manage
ment instead Of TO the principle OF
autocracy and arbitrary rule is indeed
to misread or deliberately dlstort the
glaring lessons of recent history.

TERRELL LEADS IN
COTTON PRODUCTION
THE ONLY COUNTY THAT HAS
GINNED AS MANY BALES is
MUCH LARGER IN AREA.

According to the government report
of the number of bales ginned up to
September 18th, Terrell maintains her
supremacy as the greatest cotton
growing county in Georgia.
Up to that date there had been
ginned in Terrell 1850 bales, and
the only other county in the state
which had ginned as many was Sum
ter, which was credited with 1886
bales, or only $50 more. Sumter has an
area OF 456 square miles, while Ter
rell has only 1872, which shows that
the production here is much greater
per acre. The county reporting the
next largest number of bales is Col
quit, which had ginned 1894 bales,
The area of Colquitt county is $50
square miles.
Burke and Laurens, which for sew
eral years led the state i'll the total
of bales because of their large
area, have this year fallen far behind,
Bur Ike with an area of $40 square miles
having ginned only 9,452 bales, and
Laurens, with 808 square miles reports
only $500 bales. The number of bales
by counties of this section
up to Sept. 18th the past two years are;
wears are.
