Marched Down Again

That noble Duke of York who had
the thousand men and marched them
up the hill one day, set a precedent in
Georgia. First there was Mrs. w. H.
FELTON, who became senator for a
day and now Mrs. S. B. c. Morgan so
we'll known to all club women of the
State. who was first running on the al
derman;c ticket in Savannah and de-
feated, and then el .cted by the coun-
Gil to fill vacancy in the Stew4rt
forces. She also terminated her term
of office very quickly as the Stewart
regime was short-lived.
Mrs. Morgan is a brilliant woman
and would have been credit to her
friends and hackers and an honor to
he office She is sister in-1aw to Hon.
Peter Mcldrim ard with his charming
wife presents the perfect type of the
gentlewomen of the Old South with
strictly up-to-date grasp of the mod
ern woman's responsibility and oppor-
tunity.

DRAINAGE FOR
HEALTH'S SAKE

Solomon said TO everything there
IS season and time to every pur-
pose under the heavens-a time to cast
away stones and time to gather them
together Digging bitches was not
specifically referred to by the wise
man, but everyone with any expert
ence knows that ditch digging is no
exception to the general rule-with
this as with everything else, there is a
time when it can be done to best ad-
vantage.
How many farmers, however, know
that one of the best times for ditching
in the Southern states, if not the very
best, is during the late winter months
AT this season OF the year farm labor
at least has some choice in the selec-
ton of work During the summer
rush there can be none. Then too, soil
conditions in the Southern states are
apt to be exactly suited for ditch dig
ging in January or February Our
heaviest rain fall in the South occurs
at two periods during January and
February and during June and July
But, someone says you WOULD not
expect us to do our ditching in stand
ing water with the soil saturated like
a sponge?' Not entirely We were
thinking of the outlet bitches, the big
gest part of the job and the most ex-
pensve. The small laterals can be
at any time but if the farmer wants to
save money and time he will dig his
main outlet bitches with dynamite when
the ground is wet The wetter the
better.
Dynamite works much better in wet
soil than it does in soil that is dry be-
cause under these conditions dyna-
mite will give a complete ditch, requir-
ing little if any hand cleaning; three
hundred to four hundred feet OF ditch
can be shot at one time, thus requiring
only one blasting cap; all stumps can
be removed Clearly; and the dvna ,i"e
holes, which must be placed - ,
feet apart can be put down much fas-
ter and cheaper.
In ditching with dynamite where
the soil is we'll saturated with water,
material can be moved at a cost of
from twelve to eighteen cents per Gu
bic yard Under favorable conditions
a crew OF three men can complete 4
mile of main outlet ditching in four
days by using dynamite properly
spaced and loaded.
Ponce de Leon crossed the Allan
tic Ocean and searched the Western
Hemisphere in vain for the fountain
of youth. Any Southern farmer can
find it. or something just as good, on
his own little farm by draining the
mosquito breeding swamps and ponds
and by protecting himself and his fam
lily against malaria and the other pre-
ventable diseases.
You State Health Department en-
Joys experienced sanitary engineers
who will advise you upon request re-
lative to farm drainage as a health
measure.

To make every driver OF an auto
mobile be legally licensed and to
make the requirements far more rigid.
including thorough test of the eyes and
mental tests as we'll, is now under con-
sideration as a solution of this grow
ing problem of the public safety. OPP
tometrists i'll recent convention were
insistent that many people are dr;v-
ing cars who are positively ignorant
of their own defective vision, and
which in many cases has been the di-
rect cause OF fatal accidents rather
than recklessness. On applying for
a drivers license they as we'll as the
suffering public should have the pro-
lection OF a thorough test In the in
vcstigations made in certain city
court i'll one batch OF speeders, there
were three who were found to be of
deficient mentality. Is it not clearly
a case of public safety that such peo-
pie should be kept from driving cars?
Then let us begin to save life at the
first danger point, in the issuing OF the
drivers license to those physically and
mentally competent, far more import
ant ching to the public welfare than

seem to be working out very we'll in practice The
rich are not any better satisfied than the poor if

Coming Back

There is a marked Shakespeare re-
Nuisance this season Not only do the
metropolitan audiences of the large
cities, and conspicuously in New York
City seem to welcome the return of
Shakespearian drama but the actors
themselves are announcing their am
bition to portray the parts as they have
not in many years gone by. The farce
and the movie comedy has almost
palled upon even the casual theatre
patron and the real human appeal and
dignity of Shakespeare's drama is well
come by contrast to these while to
students of literature there will never
be want of appreciation for Shakes
peare's art.

Verbal Veneering

Our thoughts even when unuttered
must use the vehicle of words. Do the
words and phrases that we use both
in thought and speech reflect in a way
upon our ideas? They seem to do so
especially in respect to our moral SEN
timents. For instance, does the real
criminal the gangster or gunman
think the word crime or murder in his
plans? Court testimony shows that his
acts, so heinous to us, by him are light
ly spoken Of and regarded as piece
of work, frame UP" or he will say
bump off, or knock out" or similar
phrase when referring to cold-blooded
and premeditated murder.
And it again happens that many
promising characters of strong social
instinct who are ruined by drink or
dope have from the first been "jollied"
into the habit or commended for being
good sport" and a good mixer"
and being game to new thrills etc.
Though rose by another name may
be as sweet, a vice by other names
seems not so vicious, and So all the
more insidious.
