MAYOR PAONEssA'S RECORD.

As Mayor Paonessa closes his &C., counts for the first year of his ad- ministration he can smile, and keep on smiling, because he has confound- ed his enemies. If the year has not been marked by any conspicuous acts of great public benefit he can reflect with pleasure on the thought that, as mayor, he has been decidedly more successful than many of his critics thought he would be.
 From the beginning Mayor Pao- nessa has been in weak position. In an effort to promote legislation, he has been forced to win support from an opposition party which is in the majority and which has not always been in sympathy with his ideas of government. Considering this situation, Mayor Paonessa' s record of achievement deserves at tention.
 When he assumed office he fused his authority to dismiss a number of commissioners and by doing so lost the services of several who could have been retained with advantage to the city. To balance this condition it must be admitted in the interest of truth that he swept from office many more who had no particular excuse for being there and who could be spared without any great public sac rifice
 Mayor Paonessa has made one thing clear, that the occupant of the mayors chair has been Angelo Pao- nessa. He has dominated his party and his office. The "back stair gov ernment" ceased to exist when he took the oath of office The ''invis- ible administration" whose wires ran from certain well known addresses on Main street found that the line had peSh ulSCollHeCteu. fernapS that alone would be sufficient cause for congratuating the city on his elec- tion. He has been man of the people. representing the many, not the money.
 There have been unpleasant incl dents which have tended to dull the record, but they have been born of opinion. His opinion has not always paralleled The Hera Ids, but we be- lieve that every man should use his own judgment and we respect his convictions. Mayor Paonessa is a politician, in the sense that he is a man who aspires to hold public office. To some extent his acts must be guided by political expediency but as that is a failing universal among party leaders it cannot be charged against him as lone sinner.

GEORGE CLARK HoUGHToN.

Many people who never heard Of Its rector. Rev. Dr. George Clark Houghton who has just died, know of "The Little Church Around the Corner" in New York city. Uncer- tain as to the origin of the name, those people feel that it must be place where old-tashioned sentiment lives: where goodwill and spirit of charity, not of suspicion. thrives. And it is just that sort of place. Joseph Jefferson, long since lost to the stage through death, had good reason for his God bless the little church around the corner" when he found there sanctuary in which might be held the funeral services for all old actor friend, after he had been told that a more pretentious church would not conduct services for lone of his profession" Just now, when there seems to be such intol- erance in some quarters, the thought of haven such as this, where ques- lions are not asked of those who seek to bury their dead, revives the hope that this period of suppression of Individuality will pass as passed the ancient oppression amounting at times to tyranny.

BERLIN FINANCES
Financial Writers Belief Marks Latest
 Crash Is Due To Change in Bank
 Policy.

Berlin, April 19. (By Associated Press) Berlin financial writers are virtually unanimous in attributing the marks latest crash to a change in tac- tics on the part of the Reichsbank which they, say has th- own large quantities of foreign moneys upon the market to keep German currency stable.
 Little light is cast on what new method of procedure is now contem- plated but in well informed quarters it is said that the Reichsbank intends to withdraw it's intervention only tenn porarily. It plans to give the specu- lators a complete right of way for time. these sources affirm, but some day it will swoop down suddenly on exchange dealings and again restore the mark to sobriety.
 In some circles it is said that the Reichsbank decided seyeral days ago that it could not pursue its recent course in support of the mark put on the urgent plea of the government II made one last attempt to stay the on- coming flood of depreciation
 This final effort to bolster the marx, the press says, cost another 5,o0o,ooo pounds or just about the amount sub scribed to the s5o.o00,0o0 loan Ger many recently launched as means of obtaining foreign currencies with which to keep the mark steady.

THE COMMON COUNCIL.

The large audience which was at tracted to the session of the common council last evening by the hope of violent evidences of friction, was dis appointed. Only an undercurrent of antagonism to Alderman Dchm. who was elected president pro tenn. de- spite such feeling, was noted, And the new president did nothing to erase that unpleasant sentiment. He immediately assumed the role of one who intends to be guardian of strict enforcement of technicalities.
 Thirty seconds were given to the resolution, held over from last month, which would put the council on rec ord as favoring daylight saving. The motion to table indefinitely" the resolution was carried and then the council members hastened to other business as though the subject was not pleasant one.
 Different interpretations will be placed upon the action of Mayor Pao- nessa in calling former President pro tenn. Gill to the chair to preside, in- stead of summoning the new presi- dent. Alderman Dehp. It will be said that he ignored" the latter; it will be said he wished to show his disapproval of the spirit which elect cd him. One would like to believe, however, that the Mayor called Alder man Gill to the chair as an act Of courtesy-a compliment to the retir- ing officer who sometimes says more than he means but sticks to it."
 The fight did not develop. Alder man Gill did his best to "get out from under" by moving to make MT. Dehm the unanimous choice of the council for the pro tenn. presidency, and Alderman Pajewski, after casting in- nuendoes not complimentary to the manner in which Dehm was elected, declared he had had his say,' and assured the council that he was now going to work for the best interests he made no reference to the best interests Of the party" which of course, was quite proper as ses- sion of the common council. Some day it may be remembered however that he said nothing to indicate loy- alty to his party.
 An ideal poked its head up at the meeting last night. Perhaps the ideal was a bit Quixotic, but in these practical days, when many things are excused on the ground of good business" it was decidedly pleasant to see. The news columns give the K details of the matter of the purchase of a Hupmobile, for which Mayor Paonessa. is the local agent. The point here deemed worthy of com ment is that Mayor Paonessa stood up in the council and absolutely re- fused to sell the city car from his agency. This, after the charter had been examined, the matter discussed, and the opinion of the corporation council obtained which was to the effect that there was no reason why the car might not be sold to the city by the Mayor.
 T have not sold tires to the city and refuse absolutely to sell the city car" said Mayor Paonessa. "1 have escaped criticism in this mat ter thus far, and I intend to con tinue to do so.". One who heard the remark, the declaration, would be suspicious indeed if he doubted the Mayors sincerity.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON,

And standards set are high.
The harsh rule we apply to all
The rule, Root, hog, or die
Now Polly must go forth and work;
Her burden she must bear.
She's an economic unit,
And in IaLor she must share.
Since Pollys forced in business,
And with the world must mix,
1t is but fair Polly should take
Her place in Polly-tics.
Who Discovered America
The American Association for the
Advancement Of Science has been
in session for number of days,
this convention being held in Cam
bridge, Mass. Among the subjects
given attention and stoutly criticized
was the question of who discovered
America.
For a good many years it has been
agreed that the red Indians were
not the only aborigines of the new
world.
Explorations of mounds, scattered
all over the western continent, have
brought to light an immense variety
of things which not one of the red
American Indians could give any
reliable account concerning them.
There are famous mounds in the
county L live in, Barlow, originally
Cherokee and later Cass, which have
yielded up some remarkable speci-
mems lin pottery and which were
buried in these mounds by some race
of people earlier than the Cheros
kee Indians.
| The Etowah river had a record
breaking flood in the SOS, and the
flood water penetrated deeply into
one of the mounds. The owner of
! the land when the waters were sub
siding saw something that looked
like a small circular-topped vessel.
When he dislodged it, it was really
| q vase-a fine speciman of pottery:
fine grain, and still colored with
some sort of pigment unknown to
him or others. The shape was ar
tistic. Somebody had been an eX-
pert when it was shaped and mould
ed. Nothing like it had ever turned
up there previously, except a beau
tifully shaped flat dish or waiter
of dark grey and superior finish.
The Smithsonian institution pur-
chased the dish or platter, and es-
TEEN it highly.
The red Indians were skillful in
some things, but in nothing of the
kind here noticed. The story of the
Aztecs, in Mexico also antedates the
well-known type Of Mexican Indian.
| These matters were all alluded to
in the discussion of aboriginal races
on the western continent.
One wise man advanced the theory
that negroids (black people, were
mingled in the first settlements on
American soil, and it was argued
that the blacks were mixed with
Monaghan, and both came across at
Behring's straits, where the two
world continents were very nearly
joined together. Whether they came
from Hindustan or Creton, or neal
by is still to be discussed and elab-
grated.

nation in regard to choosing and
buying farm,
It is difficult to give you any very
satisfactory information about the
subject of your inquiry. If we knew
what type of farming you wish to
engage in and what section you ex-
pect to settle, it would be compare
lively easy to offer you some help
full suggestions. OF course in this
day and time one should emphasize
diversified crop rotation. Balanced
farming j essential to success. BY
necessary for the proper mainte-
duction at home of all the foodstuffs
necessary for the proper mainten-
nance of both man and beast. Enough
live stock should be raised on every
farm to supply the needs of the
family and to leave some surplus,
saw of milk or butter, beef, pork,
poultry and eggs, for sale. Depend
ing on cotton alone is great mis-
take, and especially is this true in
those sections of the state which the
boil weevl has invaded. We will
grow a great deal of cotton in Geor-
gia in spite of this pest, but we will
have to handle it on different basis
to that followed in the past. The
intensive cultivation of cotton has
now become necessary.
1t does not make much difference
what type of land you purchase pro-
vided it is suited to the needs or the
type of farming you expect to fol-
low. Rolling, billy land can be
used to advantage for live stock pro-
duction. Every farm, of course,
should have some relatively level
land and some bottom land is natu
rally an advantageous possession.
The Cecil clays and the Cecil
loans are among the strongest soils
in Georgia. They constitute what is
termed the red land" of north Geor-
gia. In some sections, the Green
vile clays and sandy loans pre-
dominate. They are good, strong
soils. The Orangeburg series oc-
ours extensively in Georgia and
constitute a very good type of land
on which to practice general farm
ing. The Triton sandy loan is one of
the best type of solids found in south
Georgia.
