Holiness subject rarely hear discussed these days
It is well understood why this has to be SO.
There really three that might

heart Which hnks from cold and the warmth

word
Third Satan and the arnay Of the human heart combine to

Most essential attribute for without holiness even love It

Profiteering Cases
Dismissed In Atlanta

ATLANTA, March 24-All indict-
ments pending in the North Georgia
district federal court for alleged prof
iteering" under the Lever act have
been dismissed by the United States
district attorney, who acted upon tel
egraphic instructions from the attor-
ney general at Washington.
Instructions to- dismiss the cases
which have been mol pressed under the
Lever act. the district attorney said,
came as result of the recent decision
of the United States supreme court
which held the provisions of the act,
which was passed by Congress as a
war measure, were unconstitutional.
Among the cases which have been
nolp nossed were thost against the
Standard Oil Company, indicted for
selling coal at alleged excessive prices
and against local grocery company,
charged with selling sugar at excessive
prices.
The case Of local grocery company
for alleged profiteering in sugar went
to the supreme court as test case.

PROBE THE DOUGLAS

WRECK-Union labor, or union
synpathizers, got the blame from
a prolific newspaper correspon-
dent at Douglas for the wreck
that occurred there Tuesday morn
ing Other agencies blamed the
unions or their sympathizers for
it. Advocates Of union labor have
already made out a strong case
in their favor in regard to that
wreck. Neither side has produced
any positive proof of its conten-
tions, not enough to completely
satisfy adair minded man.
Union labor and union labor's
friends want proof positive. They
have confidence III rhe merit Of
their contention that the wreck
was accidental, just as was the
collision in Fitzgerald Tuesday
night, and the melting off of an
engine truck wheel in Fitzgerald
Wednesday afternoon, and several
other 1nishaps that have occurred
to a. B. and A. property since its
efficient and experienced work.
men walked out rather than pas
sively accept sweeping wage re-
ductions whose necessity has not
been proved BY Investigation Of
any impartial agency, or before
any established tribunal.
Union labor and Union labor's
friends do not want the cause of
that wreck left to conjecture they
want either conviction or COM
plete vindication 1t is intimated
that a federal investigation is pos
sible. The Leader certainly hopes
that such investigation will be
made.
Fitzgerald leader., 1921-03-24
MORE GOOD ROADS

NEEDED-Next to good schools,
good roads are the essential thing
for any section, and especially an
agricultural section. When the
towns and cities depend largely.
on money the farmer gets for his
produce, they should make it their
business to see that the farmer has
good roads over which to travel
frequently and easily bring that
produce to town.
The Nashville Herald has pro-
posed new official highway, for
this section, the highway to ex-
tend from Valdosta to Ray City
to Nashville, to Ocilla, and thence
along the Dixie Highway to Fitz-
gerald and Northward. A direct
route for tourists through Central
South Georgia, the promised
Land of the future, is Editor
Simmons first purpose in his sug-
gestion. That in itself is good e.
nough reason for paying especial
attention to a good road direct
from Valdosta, a point on the Nat
.ional Highway, to Ocilla, where it
would connect with the Dixie
Highway. This route would save
a good many miles over either the
Dixie Short Route or the National
Highway for tourists motoring to
and from Florida.
But there is an even more i'm
portant purpose in having a Val
dosta-F Fitzgerald direct highway,
and good roads, carefully laid out
and hard surfaced, between every
important point or senli-impor-
tant point in South Georgia and
every other point. Good roads
make for sectional solidarity, for
better community spirit mot for
the kind that would align one
small section of state against
any other small section, but
would keep each community and
each town in close touch with
every other, that would help the
better DEVELOPMENT of all
Roads should be such that ev-
cry farmer could drive his "fliv-
yer" i he is that kind of farmer.
to every county fair within fifty
miles OF his home. We should be
able to make one day trip to any
point where there is anything Of
interest, anything that would help
him to make his work more sue
cessful. Roads should be 50 good
that he would be able to carry his
produce fifty miles if necessary
to find the best market for his
produce, Roads should Be SO
good that he Gould 60 fifty miles
for a days shopping trip to buy
his supplies If he could make a
better deal that way.
It is to the advantage Of every
enterprising urban community
to have not only good roads but
the best of direct roads leading
into and out of it. 1t is certainly
to the advantage OF every rural
community to be on hard sur
faced road that will take him as
quickly as he wants to drive as far
as he wants to go.

agricultural population during
l9l0-1o20. Colquitt county was
first. The Moultrie trade body
interested itself largely in agri-
culture during the last ten years.
Mou1trie merchants are feeling
the results, and will continue to
feel the results for4a long time
to come, especially since that in
terest in their customers by their
trade body is not slowing down.
If Fitzgerald is to be the coun-
ty seat Of the first county in rural
growth for the 1920 1880 period,
there has got to be something
more substantial than newspaper
editorials and newspaper energy
contributed toward rural develop
ment.
Fitzgerald leader., 1921-03-24
YOUR CUSTOMERS MUST

PROSPER FIRST-This sec
tion wants plenty Of good roads
and plenty Of automobiles travel
ing over them. Fitzgerald should
have an automobile show this
year at which special attention
to the kind of automobile that the
average farmer can buy. If every
two-horse farmer had an automo-
bile and trailer in which to haul
his stuff, and good roads to haul
them over, we would have one.
more fine section of country.
II business men, including au-
tonlobile dealers, will cooperate
with the farmer in d business way
by helping to open new markets.
and good markets for everything
the farmer can grow, pretty soon
every two-horse farmer will also
be a "one-auto farmer Business
men should prod the Chamber Of
Commerce into lending active as
sistance to the farm bureau in
making its enterprise e O. There
should be curb markets in every
town over 5000 population in
Georgia. The Chambers Of Com
Imerce in eveery town, however
small, should use their influence
to bring more buyers to hog sales.
and to interest water melon and
cantaloupe buyers in coming to a
section to buy the crops from the
farmers, and use other means at
the disposal of commercial oreani-
zations to assist the farmers, the
customers of the members of the
organizations, to prosper,
Some people have a peculiar
idea of the business of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, think that such
la body's sole function is to get al
hospital, or a college, or an ex-
pertinent station for its city from
some ones else city. That is one
function, and a very fine one.
Such achievements are indeed a
feather in the cap of any town.
But, ye gods, let's look to the
clothes on your back before we
Seek feathers for our cap!!l!
The farmer must get it first"
IS a slogan the Leader has quoted
several times in the past and will
quote at intervals in the future.

to the best advantage Of both far
mer and business man. But the |

BETTER SCHOOLS FOR

BEN HlLL~-Four One-teacher
schools in Ben Hill county Wal
cease to exist on April 9Th, com
mencement day, and next Octob-
er the pupils who ordinarily
would have gone to one of those
four schools to learn everything
from one overburdened teacher
will either go to a new Eureka
Evergreen school where three
teachers will divide the work. or
to Ashton school where at least
seven teachers will each have an
opportunity to specialize in the
lines Of work they are best fitted
to teach.
The school consolidation which
has been effected is not as COM
plete as was hoped when the first
school consolidation meeting was
called at Ashton last month. At
first it had been hoped that all
four Of the little schools could be
merged with Ashton. That, how
ever, proved TO be too sweeping a
change for the present. Il will
come in the future.
It is difficult to oyerestimate
the importance of consolidating
small rural schools. Gone is the
day Of the slittle red school house
on the hill" where children from
pinafore age to long trousers and
done-up hair all learned reading
and writing and 'rithmetic from
the oyerworked teacher. Gone il
IS with the day Of King Cotton 5
absolute reign in the South. Ii is
true that the little red school
house developed some Of Amer
ica's greatest men. Lincoln had
not even that. But these men
were developed in spite OF the
handicap of inefficient and insult
ficient education, not because of it.
Education supplies the tools
with which the brain works to-
ward success. In the old days
when a farmer planted only cot
ton, he used his brain very little.

ing business unsatisfactory The
