NANCY and Nick watched the
~ Towslies for awhile making
their funny dreams in their fun
ny kettles and tying them up in their
funny poppy-leaf bags, then they
followed Mr.. Peerabout, the Man
in-the-Moon, to another place.
This was called Smookysoot Vii
lage. 1t was beyond the Golden
Forest, and as grimy as the forest
was bright. As the Moon-Man said,
things mortals valued were of no
value on the moon and things NOR
tails threw away moon people valued
highly.
Smokysoot Village was where the
Chimney-Fairies lived with their
leader, the Sweep.
"They are just as busy unmaking
dreams as the Towslies are making
them," explained Mr.. Peerabout with
wise wag of his head.

pouring out smoky looking stuff into
a big barrel. Some of it was green
some yellow and some brown.
They're ugly Dreams" said Mr..
Peerabout. 'You see old Eczema
Meena, the Magician, makes awful
dreams sometimes and sends them
to the Dream Seller, pretending they
are nice ones. The Dream Seller
then sells them, not knowing what
they are. So it's the duty of my
Chimney-Fairies to sit on the CHM
neys O. nights and stop all the fairies
with horrid dreams"
"But how can they tell?" asked
Nancy.
"All the good dreams are in poppy
leaf bags, and old Eena Meena puts
his bad dreams into toad-skins. My
Chimney-Fairies can see in the
moonlight" replied the Moon-Man.

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE

Editor Times-Recorder: Please al
low the Woman's club space to ex-
press their cordial thanks and appre-
citation first, to the mayor, Mr.. J. E.
Sheppard, for his proclamation in re-
gard to Made-in-Georgia week; to the
steering committee of which Mr.. G.
.. Marshall was chairman; to all the
various organizations, mems and wo-
mems, who endorsed the movement;
to the Chrysanthemum club for the
beautiful flower show given by them;
to the Arts and Crafts club and the
school children of the sixth, and sew
enth grades for their artistic posters;
to Miss Parkman, the home agent, the
Canning Club Girls, and the home
manufacturers, for their exhibits,
and to the merchants for their win
dow displays of Georgia-made goods.
We feel that much has been ac-
'complished and we beg that those or
CARNATIONS which have not held
meetings and endorsed this 1ive-at-
home movement, will do so at their
next meeting, for this is, we trust,
only beginning.

Gated changes. ne entered office
with a new legislature and was able
to get little of his program through
the assembly. This year has been
spent in making such progress as he
could on his program without legis-
lative assistance and in shaping af
fairs and programs to the end that
more might be accomplished at the
coming session Of the legislature.
To put Governor Hardwick out of

the state not to give him the chance
to make good-a chance he has not
really had up unto this time, but
something which he has actually done
to a surprising degree, to our way Of
thinking.
Mr.. Walker visited Washington a
few weeks ago, and the information
is that he secured a pledge of support
from Senator Thomas E. Watson, his
bitterest opponent two years ago, to
support him. There are many incon-
gruities in politics, and, as the say
ing goes, it makes strange bed fol-
lows, but we doubt that any stranger
bed fellows were ever made by poll
tics than Tom Watson and Cliff
Walker lying down together. How
ever, the report can scarcely be
doubted, for even brave Cliff would
hardly be so lion-hearted as to beard
the Georgia Gamecock in his den
without the Eating Dragon from
McDuffie backing him up close by in
the offing.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

Thou wilt show me the path of
life; in Thy presence there is full
ness of joy; at Thy right hand there
are pleasures for overmore. - Psalm
1911.
One step beyond LIES work-day
things,
One more beat of the souls broad
wings,
One deep sorrow sometimes brings
The spirit into that great Vast
Where neither future is nor past;
None knoweth how he entered there,
But waking, finds his spirit where
He thought an angel could not soar,
And what he called false dreams be-
fore,
The very air about his door.

w. r. MEL HONORED BY
AMERICAN ROAD BUILDERS

ATLANTA, May 30.-W. R. Neel,
state highway engineer, has been APP
pointed a member of the board of
directors of the American Road
Builders association, a national or
ganization of engineers, highway con-
tractors and machinery men, accord
ing to information which has just
been received here. This is the sec
ond similar honor which has been
given Mr.. Neel recently, and it is con-
sidered as national recognition of the
progress in road construction in
Georgia which has been made under
his direction. Mr.. NeeI was recent
ly selected to represent the South
eastern states on the Directorate of
the American Association of Highway
Officials, being one of ten men on
this board.
Mr.. Neel is native Georgian and
graduate of Georgia School of
Technology. Like many other Tech
graduates he has made notable sue
cess in his profession. Under his di-
rection a state system of highways
has been mapped out and is now be-
ing constructed. When completed
every section of Georgia will be con-
nected with permanent highways,
which will equal those of any state.

The Washington times., 1922-08-28
Murder as
Argument

WYE share with President Har-
wv ding his state of shocked
w ness in contemplating the
atrocity and lawlessness attendant
upon the protracted coal and rail
strikes.
The utmost sympathy with la
bor's cause cannot make red
blooded American callous to the
use of murder as an argument.
The Herrin horror, belatedly
about to be investigated, has been
followed by a series of homicides
and other acts of murderous vio'
lence which the country cannot too
strongly condemn.
A list of these crimes, proven
and alleged, would be sufficient to
shock into spoken protest every
lover of life and law in America. 1t
is no wonder that the President
was moved to. characterize these
outrages as violating the cherish
ed guarantees of American free
dom.
Every newspaper reader is famil-
lar with the murderous record, a
late addition being the death of
two enginemen in wreck near
Gary, Ind, due to the removal of
twenty seven spikes from the tracks.
AS public opinion is the final
arbiter of every strike and lockout,
it is easy to foretell America s ver-
dict on these disturbances. 1t is a
pity that labor leaders have either
so little craftsmanship or such
meager control of their followers as
to fail to prevent the murderous
actions which inevitably ALLEVIATE
the sympathy of the American
public.
With all of Americas tendency
to lawlessness, we have not yet suf-
ficiently degenerated to accept
murder as an argument in indus
trial disputes.
The most substantial-and the
only dependable-means of bridg-
ing the chasm between Capital and
Labor is the Spirit of Cooperation.
The Washington times., 1922-08-28
Women and the Bonus

TT is not surprising that the Liter
ary Digest's poll upon the
i bonus reveals a larger support
for it among women than among
men.
The fact confirms the theory that
women are more sensitive to moral
considerations than men.
Most male opposition to the bonus
takes no account of the nation s
obligation to the veterans, but is
simply vexed because payment
would be inconvenient.
Feminine insight perceives the
inherent unfairness of conscripting
a young mans life amid professions
of eternal gratitude, using it while
peril lasts, then casting it aside and
ignoring the promises.
We're glad women vote. They I'll
file down many of mans rough
edges.
The Washington times., 1922-08-28
No Ancient Grudge.

THE Right Honorable Lord
Shaw, representing the Eng
i lish lawyers, begs the Amer
lean people to be friendly with
England and "forget an ancient
grudge," meaning the wars of 1776
and 1872.
This country is friendly to Eng
land, and it doesn't waste any time
on ancient grudges. You don't feel
unfriendly to a man or nation after
you win your fight.
While the country is friendly to
England, it should not be ruled by
those that are sloppy in their An
glomania.
English statesmen are ADLER
than ours. Dear old Mr.. Balfour,
with his face so sweet and his hair
curly at the ends, can twist our
statesmen around his little finger.
We have been twisted to the tune
of ten thousand million dollars that
we shall never get back and the
very vicious Four-Power Treaty,
that makes us insure free of charge
the loot that others gathered in
the Pacific. That ought to be
enough.
