The Next Governor.

A number of the newspapers OF the state

governor, which moves the Savannah Press to
inquire what Of Governor Hardwick or words

fidence we are not in position to give our Sa-
vannah contemporary the information II he

Speaking of future gubernatorfal candidates,
taking time by the forelock, a number OF
excellent gentlemen who would worthily wear
the honors of chief executive have been men
toned as possible candidates, The News be-
lieves it will be the opportune time Tor south
Georgia to furnish the next governor, and
that Judge Roscoe Luke, Of the Court OF APP
peals, whose home is in Townsville, could
win the prize. Judge Luke is man OF splen-
did ability, is widely known and popular
among all classes of people. For many years
there has been talk of a south Georgia can
didate, and if this section really wants a
south Georgian in the gubernatorial chair it
should seriously consider Judge Luke as an
available candidate.

Suggestions as to Economy.
From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun

The story is going the rounds that clerk
in the post office department, upon beng re-
quested by the postmaster general to MAKE
suggestions as to how to economic III inc
public service, responded by writing the 1ol-
lowing
every time a man or woman i'll the gov
eminent service withholds requlstion tor
a pencil, a pad of paper, ball OF tWine, a
pen, or any other piece of equipment which,
upon second thought, he realizes he does
not need has by that act really done as
good work as if he had put the money value
of the article into the public treasury, Small
economies by each, when multiplied by the
thousands. will result in great savings.
The story goes on to say that the postmas-
ter general was so impressed by the common
sense Of this letter that he had 1t circulated
throughout the department.
1t is indeed, very common sense PROPOSE
ton. 1t means the doing without OF things
that we do not really need, and when we do
this we are saving the money we would nave
to pay for them.
1t is probable that the vast majority OF peo-
pie could get along without great many
things they have, and not. suffer; it is probable
that large proportion OF them could 90 so
and still live we'll
The trouble with most of us is that we
think we need a great many things that are
not essential to our happiness and well beng.
We see them, or hear that somebody else mas
them and we want them; this desire for them
grows upon us until finally it becomes an
obsession; we conclude that they are absolute
1y necessary, that we cannot get along with
out them, and when we get to this point we
are not long getting whatever it may be that
has struck our fancy, if it be getable.
But many of US could get along comfortably,
if not luxuriously, on great deal less than
we have great many Of us have done SO
in days gone by, and, if forced to do SO, we
could do it again.
Therefore, as long as we continue to spend
money for things that we could do without
and still not put ourselves to great incon-
we have no excuse for complaining
or grumbling about hard times.

LincOln's Town of New Salem Is
Back on Map.
Correspondence Chicago Tribune.

Restoration of the village of New Salem,
where Abraham Lincoln worked as grocery
clerk, fell i'll love with Ann Rutedge and car
ried the postofice i'll his hat will be COM
pleted by next spring. With the addition OF
the Old Salem Museum it will be thrown
open as the Old Salem State Park. This was
announced by State Architect Edgar Martin.
Besides reproducing the actual village the
state has added large frame house OF the
better class in Lincoln's day which will serve
as a state museum to house Lincoln relics.
This house is modelled after fine old resi-
dence in St. Genevieve Mo. That village.
Mr.. Martin said is as a town lifted bodily
out of the previous century.
In restoring New Salem the department
was forced to follow the same tactics in res
toration of more ancient cities. New Salem
dwindled rapidly after Lincoln moved away.
Shortly after 1887 it was deserted. When the
last general assembly authorized the creation
of the Old Salem State Park only the wealth
er-beaten foundations could be found.
The % acres OF the restored village and
state park are % miles northwest of Spring
field, in Menard county.

Delivery of Firewood in the Southwest
A Picturesque Sight.
Bv Edith C. Lane.

In most cities one rings up his dealer and
orders a certain amount of firewood, and this
is about the extent of the deal But in the
southwest it is different-that is, in the small
er towns and the towns nearest timbered
mountains.
At Albuquerque, N. M, there is large
lumber mill that supplies great deal of wood;
yet the native dealers still seen driving
their hopelessly lean horses or their patient
little weary burros into town with loads of
pine and cedar, and sometimes oak.
These loads used, many years ago, to sell
for Is cents and 81, but in the last few years
prices rose to $3.50 and So, while during a
scarcity of wood they asked $3.50 and $3.75,
and drove off with the airs of a lord if the
price was objected to. The wood is brought
from the mountains some 20 miles east of
Albuquerque and is a satisfactory fuel, burn
ing steadily, with good heating qualities.
Through parts of New Mexico, Texas and
Arizona the MeXicans bring in their little
loads on the back of burros. This wood is oak,
some pine, mesquite and tornlllo. For one
load the price is usually about 40 or so cents
(gold); sometimes less, sometimes more. 1t
the dealer is in a genial frame OF mind it's
less; if not, all his spite is used in raising the
price.
He does not provide a mount for himself,
but trudges happily along back OF his burros,
usually attended by nondescript little dog
that banks and frisks about as joyfuy con-
tent as his master.
It's a strangely picturesque sight when one
OF the wood vendors is seen about sunset, a
burro or so laden with wares purchased from
his wood money, his little dog still trotting
by him as he wanders homeward in the dark
singing La Paloma" or La Golondrina," or
perhaps whistling Ma Alma Fransicita" in
the oddly plaintive voice possessed by most
natives mingling Of poetiCal with the COM
Imercial that characterizes most Latin races.

Canada's Good Example.

Canadian railway freight rates are to be
cut according to a statement OF Chairman
Varvell, of the railway commission, sent to
the Montreal board of trade When wage ne
gotiations, now under way are completed
announcement of the freight rate reduction is
to be forthcoming The report from Ottawa
says Of the contemplated rate reduction: The
announcement will be received with great re-
lief for, beyond question, the high rates have
put a severe crimp into business The stun
ulation of business, then, is the Canadian
governments reason for initiating movement
to lower freight rates on the dominion lines.
Having seen the only possible solution OF the
problem presented by a lethargic condition
of trade the Canadians are going ahead to
apply it.
The same solution ought to be, and must
be. applied on this side of the international
boundary. Until it is applied business activity
will continue slow and uncertain. The people
simply are not going to buy things they are
not compelled to have when they are forced
to bear the burden of exorbitant freight rates
tackled on to the purchase price
The railroads in the United States have no
legitimate excuse for continuing to charge
exorbitant rates. Even if they have not re-
covered entirely from the blow they suffered
as result of government control during the
war That fact does not invest them with the
moral right to continue a condition hurttuI
to business generally. Others have suffered
too. and are still suffering The railroads can
not truthfully represent that they should be
protected against any losses whatsoever when
practically every industry and every individual
have shou1dered their war burdens and gone
on with their work Besides the railroads
cannot better help themselves than by reduc-
ing freight and passenger charges and then
invite the public to use the lines to travel and
to transport their goods AS has been sug-
gested frequently, only such step can revive
business as it ought to be revived.

KING GEORGE IS PUNCHING.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
King George of England hasn't ordered a
new suit of clothing since the armistice, and
Princess Mary has had but six gowns in all
that time. These are hard times at Bucking
ham palace, and hard times in the king bus
mess" generally. King George is in the same
straits as SO many OF his peers and gentle
men. His income has not increased since the
war, but his expenses have. OF the civil
has the spending of less than $125,0O0 yearly.
Not a penny of it ever reaches his private
bank account, according to English authori-
ties So the king is running behind, and is
having to take money from his private re-
sources to carry on the royal household ex-

Buy Home Products.

Residents of the towns and cities of Geor
gia could help their state wonderfully, great
ly increase its prosperity, by buying home
raised products, such as corn, potatoes, flour
bacon, hams, peanuts and hay. Urging tina
this be done. the Moultrie Observer says:
"Buy the home products. You can help
considerably by doing that. Farmers will get
small returns from cotton but they have
other crops in abundance. The value OF these
other crops depends in a large measure on
our buying them in towns and Cities-glvlng
preference to them over the imported arti-
cles"
Our Moultrie contemporary also calls at
tention to the fact that local warehouses anC
local dealers do little to encourage the home
adds:
"There will be corn for sale on almost
every farm. This corn will have but little
value if it is sent out into the world to COM
pete with western corn. Western corn Will
probably sell for less than fifty cents a
bushel. If we will use home grown corn tor
our meal and grits, for chicken feed mule
feed and hog feed where we have to buy,
we will make home demand that will abb
sorb most of the surplus and turn thousands
of dollars into the hands of farmers, who
VIII III turn SpenQ II WITH US again.
"Buy home grown sweet potatoes instead
of white potatoes shipped in. They will serve
the same purpose, and every peck OF sweet
potatoes you consume helps out the market
for them just that much The crop is a large
one, and the problem will be finding de-
mand for all the CROP
The Augusta Chronicle is also interested
in this important matter, and advocates a
statewide movement for the use of Georgia
raised products That paper truthfully says
many of the farmers are now in 4
critical financial condition and have not yet
paid last years taxes, and unless the sur
plus of these food products can be disposed
of for money it will mean direct dead loss
to the farmer and indirectly loss to all Geor-
gians, because our circulation of money in the
cities and towns is almost entirely dependent
on the money the farmer receives for what
he produces"
AS the Chronicle we'll says, a great respon-
sibility in this matter devolves on those OF
us who live in the cities and towns-and we
constitute so per cent of the population OF
the state. The state agricultural departments.
farm bureau and all, have an important duty
to perform in this matter, but these organiza-
tons must have the support Of the consumers
of the consumers in the city, and of those
who are distributors to the consumers. The
consumption of our own home-raised food
products is not only the patriotic duty of all
Georgians, but it will greatly rebound to our
material and financial interest and sense of
self-preservation, for our state institutions
must run, and if the farmer gets no money
and town population; and, again if the farm
er has no money to spend it is certain that
very little will be spent in the cities and towns.
