As you ponder the possibilities
of labor-draft system maybe
the same thought will strike you
that occurs to US: We are Great
ing in our country a financial
aristocracy, with hundreds of
degrees of money caste. And
this is the gravest danger facing
our democracy.
Democracy is born as a CO.
operation of the impoverished.
1t has its source in money.
And in money is the fatal germ
most apt to kill it.
The snobbery and idleness that
are made possible by extreme
wealth, coupled with greed for
more wealth, destroy the demo-
cratic spirit of working for the
common good. A labor draft, in
the form of net from which
none could escape, might be an
antidote for many of the prob
lens that our nation is attempt
ing to handle matters of edu-
cation and emotion.

MARKED INCREASE IN

Progress has been made in the
development of the dairy indus

the number of creameries has
been marked, there being six
teen in operation at this time
as compared with five last year,
says The College of Agriculture.
Cheese factories are popular
in the northern. section of the
state, the report says, due to the
fact that small capital is re-
CURED, and one may be support
ed on less than one hundred
cows. About one million dollars
worth of products have been
turned out by Georgia cream
cries and cheese factories, anc
practically every county in the
states is participating in this
development,
In spite of all the develop
ment, it is said that the state is
producing less than five per cent
OF the butter consumed within
the state.
Subscriptions to stock in the
proposed creamery for Waycross
are being rapidly and readily
made it is reported. Watch dairy
ing take great stride forward

BULGARIA'S
LABOR DRAFT.

Bulgaria is trying out a labor
draft. It's modelled after the
military CONSUMPTION system by
which all-able- bodied males have
to serve a certain length of time
in the army. This labor draft APP
plies to women as well as men.
1t requires all members of both
seXes-unless legitimately en-
titled to exemption-to perform
certain amount of work on
behalf of the state.
The period of service is eight
months for men and four
months for women. 1t may be
demanded at any age between
20 and 40 years for men and 16
and 30 for women.
Here, we believe, is something
new in MISREPRESENTATION for
peace-time service. It's a novel
".
The labor draft, being tried
out in Bulgaria, has interesting
possibilities. Playing no fav-
orites Theoretically, at least)
1t should help break down any
caste system and eliminate snob-
berry, just as army service under
conscription places all draft vic
TINS on common level.
A common level is the ideal
Of what we call democracy. The
idea of a peace-time labor draft
does not appeal to Americans,
but We have plenty of drones for
whom a little compulsory work
would do worlds of good.
AS our money aristocracy con-
tinues developing along roads
now clearly laid out, something
like a labor draft may BECOME
an imperative necessity, to put
the brakes on the system and
help maintain a semblance OF
balance.

CONGRE SSIONAL
CANDIDATES..

Indications are that there will
be lively congressional cam
paign in some districts next
year. Several candidates are
now in prospect.
At Triton the friends of Judge
Eve have placed him before the
district as a candidate.
From Albany comes the news
that Dennis Flemming will make
the race.
From cambridge the report
comes that Mr.. Conger a prom
inent young attorney and form
er member of the legislature will
be in the running.
Regarding the candidacy of
Judge Eve, The Triton Gazette
says in an EDITORIAL:
"At no time within the past
half century has this Nation,
and especially the Southern
States OF this Nation, stood IN
greater need of men OF outstand-
ing ability in the halls OF it's Ma
tional Legislature. Men who
think, men who are able men
who are unselfish, men who will
serve their people first. Problems
confronting this country now
are not alone national, but
worldwide. If order is to come
out Of disorder and reasons rule
out of chaos, men Of straight
thinking, keen minds and high
ideals. must be given place in the
Legislature branch of our gov
ernment
Recognizing this need, and
feeling assured, from long and
pleasing acquaintance and from
personal knowledge of the man
and his more than usual ability,
that Tiff county has such a man
to offer for service to the peo-
pie of the Second Congressional
District, the citizens of Tiff
county, in a large and enthusiast
tic mass meeting, Wednesday
submitted to the voters of the
District the name of Judge
Raleigh Eve, of the Triton Ju-
dicial Circuit, as candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
congress.
by this action, Judge Ewes
fellow citizens gave the people
of their District opportunity to
secure the services of a man of
marked natural ability, admira-
bly, trained by years of close
study of National and Interna-
tional problems, to take lead
ing part in National legislation
of constructive character Gift.
ed with a keen analytical mind,
a reader and a student, Judge
Eve brings to the larger prob.
lens of the day a viewpoint than
understands and elevates.

When You see ship, an American ship,
That's riding the open sea,
When you watch her clean bows rise and dip
And her pennant flying free;
If you have ever had Yankee pride
In even the least degree,
You'll thrill as the surging tide
In glorious majesty
You see ship, an American ship,
That's riding the open sea.
Have you ever heard the gallant tale
Of clippers of Yankee make a-s1
That never were known to shorten sail
However the storms might break2
Oh those were the days when our flag unfurled
Wherever the ocean rolled
And American ships sailed round the world
On argoses manifold.
Five million a month";" they say, 1--WE lose
BY sailing ships today;
Let's junk the vessels and fire the crews,
For it certainly doesn't pay"
Well, maybe they're right-but somehow
Am tempted to disagree,
When see an American ship drive by
In the spray of the broad blue sea
And l say Give million a month is cheap
Or that's how it seems to me
To keep ships on the rolling deep
With their brave flags flying free;
