MUST .Aeg ToaErHBn.

Determining what shall be done re- garding the situation which has de- veleped in Upper Siesia is a matter which rests with all and nat any one nartieulsr member of the allied nations. They have agreed as te the way in which that territery should be disposed of and it was as the result of the policy that they agreed upon that the plebiscite commission IS not wrestling with the problems encountered there. That there has been interference with their work deesn't place the responsibility upon France or Great Britain or even Italy alone to determine what shall be done to meet the new conditions, or what new means shall be used to meet the existing situation there. It is matter which they must all deal with and it will be through such action that the solution is ultimately reached.
 That each and every one of them should have ideas as to what ought to he done under the prevailing dificulties is only natural. It may be quite as easy to take sides there as in ether European squa bhles but what they must consider is the future peace of Europe and that isn't Keing to he accomplished Ny creating breach in the unity that nov exists.
 It is quite evident therefore that the allies must get together for the adjust fnsnt of the Upper silesian affair and It Is Res impossible that such will be dono at a meeting of the supreme coun- cil where views can be presented and facts set forth fram which it ought not to De difficult to reach an agreement.

THE tALYArIaN ARMY.

Generously and Robly has this coun- try responded to the many calls which have eeme from all sections of the weFld for the provision of funds to meet the conditions prevailing. and with a view to relieving the distress and suf- fering among those where there appeared service that could be rendered. To get the help of the people of this country, all that was necessary was to make the appAal. There was quick response and there has been continuing support te many wertAF undertakings Whesa the assistance aHd betterHaent of humanity were possible there has been an outpour- iAK of American dollars and provisions.

Big Still Captured
AS Operator Sleeps

Triton, Ga, Aug. 11.-One Of the
biggest and best equipped stills ever
raided in this section was destroyed
by Prohibition Enforcement Officer
G. w. Sage. Of Albany, and Bailift
G. B. Burke, of the Triton district
in Irwin county, three miles north
west of Irwinville, early this week
The still was in thick swamp, back
of the Marcus Fletcher place, and
near the Bostwick place, where sew
era1 men were killed and a near-riot
staged several years ago, necessitat-
ing the calling out Of the state
militia, which included the Albany
Guards.
The still was Interrogation cop
per one, and was in operation when
the officers arrived. The negro OPP
orator was sitting by the still asleep,
and probably had been for some time,
as the two-gallon bucket into which
the distilled liquor was dripping was
full and running over. Nearly a
barrel Of whisky was found. Nearby
the officers located 1000 gallons of
mash in four large watts of 1000 gal
lon capacity each.
The still was destroyed, the mash
poured out, and a large quantity Of
whisky was thrown on the fire. The
perforated still and the negro opera
tor, Sam Bennett, were brought to
Triton, and the negro was taken to

Dispute Over Watch
Leads to Killing Of
Son by His Father

DANVILLE. Ga. Aug. 1.-The
home Of A. G. Webb, farmer, living
about three miles from Danville, in
Wilkinson county, Wednesday night
was the scene of a general shooting
ARRAY growing out of a dispute over
an old watch and resulting in the
death Of W, T. Webb, aged thirty
five, a son of A. G. Webb, and the
wounding of another son.
w. T. Webb, the deceased, became
Infatuated, it is said, and ran off to
the home of Otha Butler, living near
by, and asked that he lend him his
shotgun to kill a maddog. He Sc
cured the gun and went back to his
home and began shooting into the
crowd, inflicting a slight flesh wound
on a brother. His father, A. G. Webb,
then pulled a pistol, it is said, and
shot his son twice through his breast,
causing death almost instantly. The
family of Webbs moved to this coun-
ty from near Elberton Ca, some time
this spring. The deceased had been
married twice, but was separated
from both wives, making his home

Poems of Nature and Country Life: ,
"out in the Fields With God"

Poems of Nature ana Country Life
"out in the Fields With God"
one occasion: 1.-The hum of
y the wind in the tree tops has
always been music to me, and
the face of the fields has often COM
forted me more than the. faces of
men" Something of the same
ing poem by an unknown author:
The little cares that fretted me,
lost them yesterday,
Among the fields, above the sea,
Among the winds at play; ~-r
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees, 800
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.
The foolish fears of what ma happen
1 cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay;
Among the. rustling Of the corn,
Where drowsy peoples nod,
Where i'll thoughts die and good are
Out in the fields with God.
Anonymous.
There are immense numbers of
growing children in the United
States Of America, and I think I car
be deemed correct in saying that
every one of these children at some
time in early life should live where
plants grow in the fields and where
lures, and where the little folk car
play out of doors in plain clothes
and be as free to wade in the
branch and play in sand as any OF
the little animals in tho reach Of
their sight and handling.
One of the saddest things is the
herding of little ones, in big cities
fined quarters from birth to old age
ana are debarred thus from the en-
joyment of the great out-of-doors

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

During one of our late torrid July
days I encountered two little ones that
had evidently strayed from home
without leave and they were busy
scooping out holes in sand pile
at the edge of the street and were
vociferous in their delight at this
business. The oldest hight have
been five. the other much younger,
| hut they were far happier than a
| fine-costumed girl of fashion listen
ing to grand opera. They had little
taste of nature, and while 1 expect
they got a scolding, maybe some
thing harder to bear, for straying
outside of the home, they were so
happy that I had to stop and ask if it
| wasn't a nice thing to build sand
houses for their dirty little feet. If
1 had little children to raise I GER
tainly would try to furnish them a
play place where they could do exact
ly as they pleased to do in the open
If child gets what it really wants
it will naturally play in the dirt and
wade in the branch, etc.
| A dressed-up child that must not
get the nice clothes soiled, is almost
like an insane victim in an asylum
on the grass, paddle in water and
they will naturally be happy.
| The Blessed Rain
| The excessive heat of the present
summer has been very enervating to
younger persons, but it was even
more than enervating to those of ad-
Vanced age and failing strength.
1t was test of mental patience
to hear that floods were prevailing
In lower Georgia when the soil was
ready to crack open from torrid heat
in our Cherokee Georgia.
For several days before the boun-
tiful rain came our way there would
arise a dark-looking rain cloud, and
it would thunder and tighten, a few
| drops of rain would fall, and then
the cloud would retire and the sun
come, forth strong, until one could
hardly breathe from the sitting heat.
At last there arrived real rain
cloud about daylight in the early
morning, and there were delightful
little rushes of rain until, about 3
a. M, the clouds opened and the
blessed rain was bountiful and gra-
cious to both man and beast ana
every living thing.
The world Is washed clean in our
parts. The green is of the greenest,
like early summer time, and all ma
ture is rejoicing over the happy
change.
The birds sing or twitter all day
I feel quite sure the firef1ies will
come to see US again right early
Whether the heat killed them or only
made them unwilling to shine, I dc
not know, but there was not one tic
be seen in the evenings while the
heat was so great. 1 never knew
them so diminished in the good old
summer time" Our old dog pantej
all day long, and his only comfort lay
in getting where water dripped from
a hydrant. 1t sounded good to him
without a doubt
The mosquitoes were the only
things that really enjoyed the parch-
ing heat. They put in full time. Thev
performed on young and old, and
thank goodness, the rain has Grip
pied their activity in marked de-
gree for a time at least. Let us re-
} turn thanks to the Giver of all good
for the blessed rain.
What a dreary world it would be
if there were no changes of season
and hot weather prevailed all the
time.
