THE DIGEST9S POLL.

The first returns in the Literary Digests
poll on prohibition interpreted by that
publication as damp" On the first propo-
sition, the continuance and strict enforcement
of the 18th amendment and the Vostead act,
81, AS affirmative votes were recorded. On
the second proposition the modification OF
the Volstead act to permit light wines and
beer, 39,665 affirmative votes were cast. On
the third proposition, the repeal Of the 18th
amendment, the vote in the affirmative was
22.547. The tables published reveal that the
larger proportion of the votes counted were
from the New England middle Atlantic and
east north central states. The returns from
the dryest states, those in the middle west
and the south, have not yet been tabulated in
any volume. Analysing the returns, the Di-
gest concludes that those voting for the mod
iication Of the Volstead act favor the con-
tinuance of the 18th amendment Based on
this premise the vote stands Il, no to 2, SAL
in favor of the retention of prohibition III
is the Volstead law" the Digest reasons
that is chiefly under fire" No hasty con
illusions should be drawn on the basis of this
first tabulation. The Digest has sent out TO-
loco, 900 ballots and only the first 100000 have
been counted. The dryest territory is yet tc
be heard from, and the next tabulation may
show a different result. 1t is not entirely safe
to assume that the final tabulation will show
wet majority, nor will it be safe to con
clude that the verdict will be dry. Wait

RUDE RURAL RHYME
CHEESE.

On wintry nights and rainy days often
sit beside the blaze and Hannah while L
toast my shins, will read to me some bulle-
tins. Among instructive college prints there's
none more full OF helpful hints than that
which tells us forty ways to use the .cheeses
and the wheys, each one of which deserves
our praise. Before l heard that treatise wise
filled myself with meat and pies, with four
boiled eggs and things like these, and then
ate hunk Of cheese. l had the stomachache
all night, and nightmares came my soul to
fright I tossed about with grief and groans,
while all the neighbors heard my means.
From this good bulletin | learn that when tor
cheese our bosoms yearn we should not first
take all that comes, then add the cheese to
fulfilled tums, but we should think OF it as
meat and use discretion when we eat For
this my gratitude is deep; | wisely dine, then
sweety sleep; no more | thrash around and
weep Instead of ghosts and specters grim,
dream of saints and seraphim In LOAF or
casserole or rabbit the use of cheese is now
a habit No book OF poems brings me bliss
to equal bulletins like this.

IN MEMORY OF THE DOG.

President Harding's earnest letter, written
recently from the white house that saved
the life of Dick a Pennsylvania dog, prob
ably will go down in history as a classic
companion piece of Senator Vests eulogy Of
MANS best friend" The thought that gov
Ierned Mr. Hardipg's intercession in behalf
OF Just a plain dog was one that is bound to
make an impression upon public opinion as
reflecting a simple human bigness OF soul
The American people surely are glad that the
letter was written.
An even more tender thing has come to
soften human hearts and increase mans ap-
preciaton of the better impulses in the an
nouncement from Hartsdale, n. Y, that a
monument has been erected there to the
memory of the dogs that participated in and
helped to win the great world war. DR.. Sam
uel K. Johnston established SO years ago a
canine cemetery at Hartsdale, and IT is in
this burying ground that the monument has
lust been unveiled. No tribute to a dumb
animal surprising it has ever been conceiv-
ed. and it is pity that the living dogs can
not understand something OF the esteem in
which their kind is held by man.
The inscription on the monument big
slab of marble, on the top of which stands
the alert figure of dog, with the steel he'll
met and canteen OF his comrade in arms,
reads:
Dedicated to the memory OF the war
dog Erected by public contribution by
dog lovers to mans most faithful friend
for the valiant services rendered in the
world war, l914-1918
Thus Americans are able to discharge a
part OF their debt to this faithful friend, who
back in the dim ages of the worlds develop
ment forsook the wilds of the jungle or the
plain to follow man because they needed
each other.

THE TEXTS PRLMARY.

Interest in the recent Texas primary cen
tered in the contest for the senatorial nomi-
nation. Five candidates opposed Senator Cul-
berson who has represented Texas in the
senate for "a years. The foremost candidate
is E. B. Mayfeld. and the next is former
Governor James E. Ferguson, Senator Cul-
berson running third and Clarence Ousey,
who sometime ago toured Georgia in the
interest of the COOPERATIVE Cotton Market
ing Association, ran fifth. One of the para
mount issues was the Ku Klux Khan, con-
corning which every candidate for nonnina-
ton in Texas was obliged to state his views.
Senator Culberson and Mr.. Ferguson were
openly against the khan, while Mr.. Mayheld
was the candidate of the khan. Mayfeld and
Ferguson will be in the second or 'run-of
primary in August and there is considerable
doubt at this time as to what the result will
be. The khan nominated their candidate for
lieutenant governor, and captured other i'm
portant offices.

Georgians and Georgia Products.
Prom the Augusta Chronicle.

During the past month Mr.. w R. Critics
secretary of the Men Board of Commerce
has been actively engaged in the marketing
of the varied new agricultural products OF
Jenkins county. When it came to marketing
OF Bermuda onions, new industry for the
state one OF the growers, Mr. J. w Parker
was dissatisfied with the prices offered AS
consequence he did not ship with the 9th
ers. Since then Mr. Parker has attempted to
market his onions. He reports the results of
a special trip to Savannah While there he
called on ali the produce concerns, and one
would not buy Georgia grown onions, insist
producing states. AS matter OF fact the on
in every way to anything grown in either of
the states mentioned this year; in fact Geor-
gia has established herself permanently this
season as a grower Of quality onions After
exhausting every effort to market his product
in the accepted standard crates Mr.. Parker
was finally compelled in order to sell his on
ions to place them in 100-lb. bags and leave
the name OF Georgia entirely off Of the pack
age. In this way he was able to disguise the
fact that they were produced i'll Georgia and
thus induce the Georgia consumer to use
them. These same onions will eventually be
sold at a good price as Texas or Kentucky
onions, and Georgia people will buy them.
This statement OF facts is taken from let
ter received by the Chronicle from Mlen
and it is a statement in which every Geor-
gian-nOt Georgia farmers Only-is interested
Above all, if Georgians are not to stand
by Georgia products we are in bad way.

THE PRIZE SLUGGERS.

Jack Dempsey is heavyweight boxing
champion Of the world. He is u white man Of
Irish extraction Harry Wills is conceded
to be the champions closest rival He is a
huge negro, and as pugilists go, is rated by
sport writers all over the country as a square
fighter He also works for living at other
things than prize fighting, which Dempsey
does not and would seem to recommend the
negro in this respect ahead OF the white man.
These two men are to fight for the cham
pionship. Public opinion" expressed wholly
by newspapers printed in sections of the
country where race prejudice does not exist
and is not we'll understood, has brought the
white champion to the point where he agrees
to meet his negro rival in the ring That
puts the two on an equal basis in everything
The only difference between them now is the
superior skill and strength and courage OF
one or the other. AS far as the men as in
dividuals go it makes no difference who wins
although preferences will be expressed here
and there with Dempsey being the favorite
but persons who are not interested in the
men as individuals will care very little who
wins,

SOMETHING NEW.

Galveston Tribune: Vitamines is a brand
new word so new that it has not found its
place in the latest edition of the unabridged.
1t has to do with foods; is said to be sort
of force which gets strange hold on the
life-giving, continuing parts of the food
one eats and connects them up with that
part of the anatomy standing in need of ex-
pert and special attention. Although vita
mines are OF recent discovery they have been
in existence for several million years, They
have probably been waiting for suitable
name to be given them before discovery, and
now that this formality has been complied
with vitamines will henceforth hold an hon
ored place in our economy. Vitamines are
found in milk, eggs, animal fats, green veg
etables, oils seeds, nuts, fruits and canned
tomatoes. The fact that no mention has been
made of their presence in fried chicken, broil-
ed trout, T-bone steaks and cavier is prob
ably explained by the fact that research has
been halted before investigating these arti-
cles.

COSTS TOO MUCH.

Salt Lake Tribune President Harding s
advice regarding the pairing OF expenses is
very good and should be generally follow
cd 1t costs entirely too much for municipal
and state governments and the United States
could get along with very much less than
is now being spent annually. We favor liberal
appropriations for Improvements, and we
would not be parsimonious in the matter OF
paying either the laboring men or the pub
lie officials. We would however, put stop
to the operations of grafters and prevent the
politicians from drawing pay for which they
render no service We dare say there are
thousands of men and women now holding
positions" in Washington whose names
could be dropped from the payroll without
any perceptible slowing up of governmental
machinery President Harding could set a
good example for the state and municipal
executives by ordering the elimination of all
dead timber in the various departments,
commissions bureaus, etc. That would be re-
form with big R, and it would win univer-
sal commentator.

Tribute to a Friend.

Editor Dawson News: In the year 1925, or
1926 my father moved from Hancock to
what is now Stewart county. One of the first
men he met was Smith Ware. They, together
with f r. Bell and William West were mu-
tualv drawn together by politics, love OF
dogs and horses and detestation of bankrupt
cy For fifty years their friendship was close
and for sixty years drawn together by our
fathers friendship and our mutual love OF the
same things they loved and our detestaton
OF modern bankruptcy Z. R. Ware, who
went to his God from Stewart county on
July 18th, and myself have been close as
men get. 1t was fitting that his last act was
to try and give his two young dogs pleasure
and that when his body was found his dogs
were guarding it and refused to let any but
one Of his family approach it, for he answer
ed the call quickly while walking.
Hearing some years since a man Dragging
that he had swindled my employer, the Cen
trail OF Georgia railroad, he fastened to send
me word of the particulars and through our
legal department every penny OF the loss
was recovered. He wanted corporations to
abide the law but he wanted them pro-
tected This just by way OF sample OF his
ideas of honest dealings. No young person
or old wanting help was ever refused if he
was honest. Men may have owed him, but
he owed no man. His house was open to all
good men, poor or rich. He wanted no mean
man around him. no matter from what sta
He never failed of crop, and never failed to
have things to sell of everything raised on a
farm He could hold his cotton or any other
crop, because he had made his crops of all
kinds without debt. | am just giving this
sketch of my friend for two reasons: we hear
great deal about the oppression of the
farmer by the corporations. He never com
planned of such. We hear largely that old
fashioned farming doesn't pay. He was an
ld-fashioned farmer; used all that was nee
essary to make the crop in preparation and
cultivation, and never failed to reap. He was
Christian in his daily life, though not in
his churchism. The Rev. Thomas Muse said
to my father once in speaking of boy who
had been reclaimed from the slums in re-
spouse to their mutual work, and because
father had said to Muse lust so you make
him a Christian you are welcome to him"
"Rives it takes a large man out of which to
make Christian | am afraid that he is only
big enough to make good Baptist, for you
can make a mantelpiece out of poplar but
not stills. Some men you can make into man.

kind of paint you use, but to make the best

all men by his daily life among them,

HIGHER TAXES.

present indications are that taxes will go
higher and not lower" says a contemporary.
The conclusion is not without warrant. On
the one hand there is loud complaint against
high taxes and on the other hand legis-
1ative bodies are flooded with demands for
appropriations of all kinds While few Off
Gals are seeking to be sparing at the spigot
numerous groups are seeking to stick big
siphons at the bungho1e. Everyone would like
to see a reduction in taxation, but how can
there be reduction when so many people
are exertng themselves to econstrain con-
gress, our state legislative bodies, our county
commissioners and our city councils to greater
expenditures? How can taxes be reduced if
expenditure is to be constantly enlarged, if
new governmental functions are to be devils
ed? II is inevitable that taxes will go high
er if governmental activities are to be con-
stantly expanded. What is to be done about
it? Well, each individual citizen has a duty
in connection with the matter. He can join
in demand upon our officials-federal,
state and local-for a cessation OF expendi-
ture; he can refrain from pressure upon them
to embark upon enlarged and new undertake
ings; he can make it clear that what is want
ed and needed is economy and reduction of
taxation Our officials would not be needless
of strong current in that direction. 1t is
time for all good citizens to come to the aid
OF the taxpayers.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Daily Ardmoreite: No better illustration OF
the inconsistency OF the pretended common
ground that farmers and union labor meet
1pon in this farmer-labor organization is
needed than the railroad strike now in prog
ress.
The railroad men quit. Farmers have pro
duce that will rot while it waits for freight
cars to move again. Their grain will lose IN
value due to rail te-ups. AS result OF
freight congestion over a long period prices
are bound to rise again.
All these directly injure the farmer.
Is it possible that the farmer and union
labor can join hands in common political
enterprise?

There would be more millionaires if there
were more men willing to pay the price. Mil
lionaires are commonly thought OF as lucky,
but as a rule luck has no part in the making
of millionaire Mlionaires are made by
unsparing toll and sacrifice, and their way is
through struggle and endless expenditure OF
energy. A lazy man, or man who shrinks
from punishment, can never hope to become
