LET THEIR VOICES RING OUT IN HAPPY

HARMONY T. ]. Luke, representative
elect from Ben Hill county is going to introduce a
bill in the next legislature to make it compulsory
sons exercises in vocal music and singing
At first glance such bill might seem light and
frivolous, not great enough matter with which
to tax the minds of the solons of Georgia who an
nually deal in such weighty matters as deciding
what the salaries of dog catchers and county
tiers OF little towns that it would take pack OF
blood hounds to even find
But Judge Luke's bill really strikes deeper and
more truly toward the heart OF Georgi's educa-
tiona troubles than any bill which has been intro
duced recently Music is the evidence of force
comparative civilization. Singing armies have
conquered empires singing evangelists have won
continents to the Christian religion Singing
school children will help raise Georga's education
al esprit dcorps from its present plane of ndffer-
ence to OF interest that may work out the SAL
walton of Georgia's woeful rural lacks
If the only religion that has distinct school OF
music all its own has been able to uproot and sur
pass older and better established religions and
turn the eyes OF teemng millions of the worlds
populace from Obi and the Taboo and the phos-
ophers of the Orient, then perhaps singing ed
ucation" could accomplish wonders proportional,
in magnitude to the goal toward which they strive.
We hope Judge Luke's bill will pass. 1t is a
good one

THE TORY'S SENSE OF HUMOR STAYS
PUT FOREVER from Atlanta Georgianl The

London Morning Post usually voices with COM
plete fidelity the ideas and convictions of the Brit
ish aristocracy
1t is the Tory organ Its views today are. as
nearly as human endeavor will permit the faithful
expression of the beliefs of that section of British
society which in 1875 thought washington and
his rebels" ought to be hanged and in 1861 bought
literally OF Confederate bonds not that it liked or
approved of the Confederacy, but in the pious hope
that besides reaping large financial profit they
might have hand in smashing the Yankee Re-
public
1t is not, therefore, surprising to see the London
Post advancing the idea that over against the bill
lions owed to the United States as a government
by Great Britain should be set the millions of
Confederate bonds still held by their English pur-
chasers
Journalistic actions of this character make world
despair of the British sense of humor.
And yet it is difficult for us to imagine the editor
OF the London Post at some future time earnestly
urging the British government to paw the bonds
of the Irish Republic

"HIS CONVERT"

Recently there fell under my eyes the obituary
notice OF Rev. Asbury Coke Nixon and | was at
once deeply impressed with the style OF the sig,
nature to the article, which is as follows, 'W. L
Speers, M. D: His nephew, his convert, and his
physician
"I1is convert" This venerable man was in his
ninety-ffth year, had the reverence and love OF
three generations, but l venture to say that what
among his achievements gives him greatest JOY
in that brighter world is the fact that there are
those who say Il am his convert
81 his convert my fellow Christian can
anyone say that OF you? If not it is your duty to
change that condition of barrenness, for God ex-
poets us to bear fruit
Be soul winner!
Dr. George r, Stuart tells OF Presbyterian
banker who wanted to have the JOY OF the soul
winner.
He agreed to do what DR., Stuart suggested !;
and then he was told to to the evening
meeting and when the altar call made to go
and invite three friends to come forward. This
was a hard trial but he did it and, each time his
friend shook his head
Greatly Inundated, the banker returned to his
seat.
DR.. Stuart encouraged him, however, to per
severe and added this further direction: "Afte1
business hours, this afternoon, shut yourself
into your office and for one hour pray
for God to use you in the winning of your friends
Then, at the evening service go speak to at least
three as you did tonight" The following even
ing the banker could hardly wait for his chance
to speak to his friends; each came at once; and
one after the other were happily converted With
lace aglow he said, Or Stuart, know what it
is now!" This blessing is for everyone who will
do likewise

Mr.. &c" Pryor sees fit to criticize our
City Council, let him go to it. We
nave no idea that any of these gen
tlemen care what Mr.. Pryor thinks of
this manly and patriotic act on their
part.
For the benefit of those who NAV
not know or who may be misinformed
or mslead by this distinguished &C.,
we want to state that we offer each
season, inducements to the boys and
girls of this community to encourage
them in their work, in the way of
special prizes for their endeavors to-
wards raising good pigs, good chick
ems. canned goods, etc. We have at
our expense now young man in col
lege. Whether this be selfish on our
part or not, we leave it to the public
, to judge.
We have co-operated with the lad
les OF the town in every way possible
during Our fairs and on our grounds.
We have gladly given them space and
carpenters free of charge to assist
them in making funds for the various
organizations during our fairs. We
feel and know that the ladies appre-
ciate this and and that they are with
us.
Mr. Pryor has stated IN one OF his
articles that he had been asked to ioin
in and become one of the Fitzgerald
4, Fair Association, We know that Mr..
Pryor has never been solicited verb
ally along this line and If he has a
letter from us asking him to become
one of us, we ask the gentleman to
publish it. Let the public see 1t.
No folks, if c. would be as busy
helping lend his MORAL support. if
he has any, to making our Six-County
we want to state that we offer each
Fair a success, as he is knocking the

ent citizen.
In conclusion, we wish to state that
we have personally invested down at
the Blue and Grey Park, about $4,000
and when it comes to a question of
turning our good hard-earned money
over to a committee of several. we
know not whom, to handle just as
they see fit, and we stand on the out
side and look in, then we, like all good
business men, REFUSE. They might
have elected &c" Pryor Manager of
our funds and you all know that he
couldn't manage Bull Yearling.
But, we have made a proposition to
the Farm Bureau and the other or
carnations, that if they would guar
antee to pay all premiums and stand
any loss of running the fair, that we
would turn our $5,0000O investment
over to them, run as they saw fit.
Now folks we have boosted Fitz-
gerald at our expense and stand ready
to continue to do so and if the good,
unselhsh, non-partisan citizens want
to help us in pulling Fair this fall,
tell us so and we will do it.

like they are not satisfied with knowing enough
they want to know too much. But what we can't

doesn't hide enough worth mentioning.

Calls Schools National Crisis

Joseph H. Defrees, president
of the United Strates Chamber
of Commerce Educational aut-
horities who have carefully stud
led conditions estimate that of
the 100000 school teachers in
the United States, 100000 are
under Il years of age, 10000
hate no education beyond the
eighth grade, 10000 have no
education beyond the third year
in high school, 100000, which is
four-fifths of the total, have not
had two years Of special training
the minimum standard required
in other civilized countries, and
that 10000 temporary teachers
have not even fulfilled our low
educational requirements.
Conditions in our public
schools undoubtly contribute
much to the unrest in the count
ny today. Nothing in our nat
ional life is more important than
the employment of the best fac
ilities for the education Of our
children. One reason why rad
icalism has notmade the same
Roadway in this country that it
has in Europe is the fact that
hundreds of men occupying pos
itions of the greater Importance
began life as poor boys"
Mr.. Defrees cites the state
ment that $4,000 schoolrooms
stood idle in this country last
year through lack of teachers.
He urges better compensation
for trained teachers and better
facilities for the training teach
ers as a remedy for present con-
ditions.

Why Lincoln Helped a Bug.

President Lincoln was walking with
a friend about Washington and turned
back for some distance to assist a
beetle that had got on its back and
lay on the walk, legs sprawling in air,
vainly trying to turn itself over. The
friend expressed surprise that the
President. burdened with the cares of
warning nation, should find time to
spare in assisting bug.
"Well," said Lincoln, with that
homely sincerity that touched the
hearts Of millions of his countrymen,
"do you know that if I had left that
bug struggling there on his back I
wouldn't have felt just right! wanted
to put him on his feet and give him
an equal chance with all the other
bugs of his class"
