CHRISTMAS-A TIME FOR
PHILOSOPHY.

Christmas! Not truly, time
for philosophy; yet time when
many ask themselves why do we
celebrate Christmas?
The churches have one answer,
an answer that all Christians, at
least, give to the question.
But the celebration of Christ
mas has come to mean much to
many whose religion does not cause
them to rejoice at the birth of
Jesus; it is celebrated with hearth
ness and happiness by those who
do not believe in any religion; by
those of alien faiths and strange; it
is time of joy and happiness to
thousands of children who have lit
tie or no understanding of its re-
ligious significance; it is warm in
the hearts of many men and women
as a time of rejoicing, of neigh
borly love of friendship of kin
ship, quite apart from its being the
natal day of the Carpenter of
Nazareth.
I Christmas means peace on earth,
good will to men. 1t means an
opening of hearts. 1t means
thought for the poor and needy. 1t
means bringing joy to children
who otherwise and other times
have little JOY. 1t means love in
the heart. 1t means brotherhood.
There is no brotherhood with
out fatherhood; there is no
brotherhood of man without a
Fatherhood of God, and so even
those who know nothing. if
there be such :. of the day,
1922 years ago, which Christmas
celebrates; even such as these, in
celebrating Christmas, in receiving
or giving from the spirit of Christ
mas, are led in spite of themselves,
lack to the creator.
Christmas. =. not time for phil
osophy, but a beautiful time to
prove that even philosophy must
yield to the spirit of the Yule log,
which brings to US all, Christian
and Jew, Mohammedan and Budd-
hist, heather and believer, just and
unjust, alike, the unifcation of
that love which, alone of all forces
in the world, can ever make it
wholly a place for brotherhood.

FLU RAGING IN CRDELE;
MANY DEATHS REPORTED

CORDELE, Dec. 21.-One of the
most destructive epidemics of flu yet
coming this way has been bearing
down upon the people of Cordele the
past two weeks. Something like a
score of deaths in the county have
occurred. There is an apparent let
up at present and conditions seem
improved. Among very poor people
want and suffering has been found
general and efforts have been made to
alleviate every case.

yielding crop it needs a good supply
of plant food and water. In Africa
it is said to occur in marshes. Just
how far north it will grow hardy has
not yet been determined. 1t has
survived two winters on the grounds
of the Georgia Experiment Station
but neither of these winters have
been unusually severe. 1t is prob
ably adopted to about the same re-
gion as japanese sugar cane.
Napier grass is propagated readily
from rot divisions, or cutting of ma
ture canes. Seed may be used by
planting in shallow boxes and later
transplanting to the field. Plants
should be set in rows about 6 feet
apart and spaced 8 feet in the row.
Of late a number Of people have
been making exaggerated claims for
this grass under Georgia conditions.
This is the usual condition with any
new plant that shows any pormise
at all. Several years work will be
possible to tell just how valuable
this grass is in Georgia and what
parts of the state are adapted to it.

original khan of the sixties was
not termed either rebellion or rev.
olution. But that was because
the khan of the sixties had as its
purpose the restoring Of govern
ment to the people at a time when
the Constituted authorizes" were
scaIawags and newly-emancipated
slaves. The first khan did not work
in the interest of a few people,
hut for all the people. Incidental
Iy, it is not recalled that any
money was charged the original
klansmen; and they were permit
ted to furnish their own robes.
Their identity was really not
greatly hidden from Southern So
ciety; they were sufficiently known
to the responsible people of the
various communities to assure
them that the khan was or the pur-
pose of protecting the people and
restoring the government. In fact,
the khan was the Southern people
themselves--the Southern govern
ment set I'D in the ace, of the
refusal on part of outside factors
to allow the South to have an open
government of its own. And when
the government was back in the
hands of the Southern people and
they could 90 to the polls and vote
in the fair and regular way, the
khan disbanded, although it was re-
formed during the sixties by par
ties who were no honor to the
South.
"What the khan needs to do it
make a study of the methods of
the Fascist and other modern rev.
olutionists."

If Christmas be green if Christmas be white
1t doesn't especially matter.
It's always day when spirits are light,
And hearts beat liveler patter;
A fog a blizzard, sunshine outside
We will not complain of the weather;
For Christmas is Christmas whatever betide
day when we're ali pals together
Here's one day at least when were glowing with love
For comrade, for kin and for stranger,
One daywhen we breathe the sweet charity of
The Babe who born in a manger:
When no one has room for the rancor of hate
Or any old grudge to remember,
Oh, it is tender and glorious date
This twenty fifth day of December.
If only each day in the year might effect
Such joy in each child, man or woman
How life would improved But we cannot expect
Too much of ourselves we are human!
But let us be grateful day in the year
Spreads love from the Poles to the Isthmus
When all the world tingles with mirth ad good cheer
And all the world shouts merry Christmasr

MOSQUITOES MUST GO;
AMERICUS, GET BUSY


The magnificent drainage pro-
ject undertaken by the government
and almost completed before it was
decided to abandon Souther Field
as an active army post is rapidly
deteriorating. When the channels
of the project were open mos
quitoes were almost unknown in
Americas. Now the situation has
changed.
malaria and dcngue fever have
cost Americas not less than $780,
600 to $4,000 this year." a prom
inent citizen remarked the other
day. "The loss in business, the
suffering and doctors and drug
bills, will, in my opinion, equal
that amount" he added.
Malaria and dengue are carried
by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes breed
in stagnant water. Therefore, de-
stroy the breeding places and mos
quitoes will disappear, Destroy the
mosquito and malaria and dengue
cease, we are informed.
Petitions from the Rotary, XII
wants, Civilian and Lions clubs, real
estate and other organizations of
Macon were presented the Macon
City Council this week, asking for
an appropriation to eradicate the
mosquito menace to Bibb county
and the city of Macon. The coun-
ell called a public meeting of Ma
con citizens to discuss the re-
quest.
A gentleman from the North
came into Americas several months
ago, with something like $4,000
to invest in Sumter county. He
has gone back, taking his money
with him. Malaria and denguc
fever" he said, "are too much for
me. | can't afford TO jeopardize
the health of my family. Clean out
the mosquito if you expect to in
duce outside capital to invest
here" he said.
The government drainage plans,
certainly, should be available with
out cost to Americas, if funds can
be found to put these into COM
plete execution. Practically all of
the expensive dredging provided in
the plans was completed several
years ago. A little cleaning out
along the basins of Muckalee and
Town creeks would eliminate both
malaria and dengue-might re-
move the menace of flu. Some way
should be devised to keep open
channels in the drainage project
the year round.

IN NEW MOVE FOR
 HOME RULE


 pine thirst for independence Is not one whit satiated, nor MT. Quezon's Collectivist party daunted one iota by the apathettc reception accorded the last delegation which argued the case before the present Administra- tion at Washington with such neglig- ible results.
 The Collectivists have just con cluded another convention in which platform reiterating the demand for immediate and complete inde- pendence" of the islands was adopt ed, augmented by new demands for complete "Filipinization" of the gov ernment. This latter would include the offices of the Governor.General Justice of the Supreme Court Give out of nine now being Americans). and the Insular Auditor. At present these position are filled by appoint ment by the President of the United States. The Filipinos also wish native Filipino to hold the position of ce-Governor and Secretary of Public Instruction.
 Amend Organic Law?
 To comply. Congress would have to amend the organic act, the Jones law of 1916. The Collectivist party controls the Senate, of which MT. Ouezon is to be president, and has thirty-nine out of total of eighty three seats (for elective-members. seven others being appointed by the Governor ,GeneraD in the lower house. Practically speaking, 1t IS the majority, party. It makes the strongest appeal to young Filip1nos. The reception and ball given after the convention resembled nothing so much as a junior prom or sorority dance. It favors reducing the vot- ing age to eighteen years.
 The Collectivist party favors con tinuing efforts toward independence and at the same time advocates complete trade reciprocity between the Philippines and the United States before and after independ- ence is granted" 4- es
 Favor Home Rule
 Americans in Manila are inclined to believe that complete local auton- omy, or home rule, under the Amerl- can flag would be accepted as the best solution of the problem of the status of the Philippines. {. c. H. Huston, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, was told at the Amerl- can Chamber of Commerce that a permanent status for the Philippines was necessary before business could expand and investments of capital develop resources.
 The temporary character of the present Government pleases neither Americans nor Filipinos.
 The Collectivists propose to call constitutional convention to draft a constitution for the Philippines. On this point, which shows how opinion is amalgamating, the Manila Daily Bulletin, a consistent advocate of American opinion, says editorially:
 Convention Favored
 Assuming, and it is the only as- sumption that can be made, that the status provided for by such con stitution will not obtain unless it is satisfactory from the point of view of the United States, why not let us have just such a convention? It is quite possible that notifications in the document evolved would have to be made before divergent views of Manila and Washington statesmen could be harmonized, but at least 1t would provide something tangible upon which to work"
