for most Of us have thought that
these discoveries and materials
could be applied only in war and
only for the original destructive
purposes.
ITO be sure, while the war was
in progress we may have noticed
that the same compounds which
are used in peaceful industry had
important war uses, resulting iu
great shortage and hampering Of
Industry.
"Picric acid, in peace times
used as a yellow aye, in war was
used as an explosive for shells. 1t
also has antiseptic properties
making it valuable, when i'll prop
er dilution, in treatment of
wounds. Thus it often happened
that picric acid was used in a base
hospital to cure the wound that
Ipicric acid itself had caused.
The principal explosive used
by the American forces was made
from the toulene Of coal tar, and
was called tri-nitro-toulene, or
TINT. Recently this has been used
as base for making a new green
dye, which is not only useful in
coloring cloth, but has been found
effective as a germieide in medi-
cine.
"The possibilities of preventing
spread Of contagion by use of GER
tain war gases or so-called poison
gases, has been reported as dem

conducted by the chemical war

Maryland.
While these gases were being
made DUNG the war it was MOTTO

making chlorine gas were taken

chemists state that epidemics of

checked almost instantly through
introduction of small amounts in

Mustard gas, which caused so
many fatalities during the war,
Iis now proved to be beneficial in
treatment of tuberculosis when
used in proper dilution This has
apparently been demonstrated by

MADDOX is OPPOSED
TO SNAP PRIMARIES

ROME, Dec. 17.-Chairman G.
E. Maddox, Of the democratic state
committee, is deeply concerned over
reports reaching HIM that che or
two county executive committees
have called snap primaries for cour-
ty offices to be held in January,
ten months before the next general
election. He has just addressed a
letter to every member of the state
executive committee regarding the
presidential and other primaries in
. 1924, and earnestly suggests that
the naming of all county primary
dates be deferred until after the
state committee has fixed the date
for the presidential primary. By
this method it viii then be wise
probably to hold the presidential
and county primaries together, thus
saving considerable time and ex-
pense.

Go Slow

Sumter county farmers who have
left cotton stalks standing in their
fields are deliberately breeding
weevils for next year, and when
loss faces them in another season,
you'll hear some complain that
'1uck is against them"
Sumter farmers have raised a
bale of cotton to the acre. Others
have failed to produce a bale to
a dozen acres. The difference IS
not luck, but pluck.
Success comes to the man who
plays the game all the way. We
Should plant cotton, but we should
play safe in the planting. We
should so arrange the farm that il
another crop failure comes, there
will be sufficient foodstuffs on
the farm for man and beast.
Year before last North Georgia's
crop was almost a total failure, as
we now recall This year North
Georgia is in good shape.
Here's bit of mighty good adj
vice from the Walton Tribune:
go slow on cotton next year.
In North Georgia a good crop Of
cotton was made this year, but
in Southwest Georgia hardly
bale to ten acres could be found
in this years checking. One
farmer had a hundred and TWEEN
ty acres from which he did not
gather a full bale in this COM

A Worth While Custom

Two years ago the Atlanta
Georgian started really worth
while custom when it awarded a
cup to the Atlanta citizen who had
performed the most worthwhile
service for his city.
A board of ten men was named to
make the selection The cup was
awarded Asa Gambler for having
made Wesley Memorial hospital
possible. This year the committee
awarded the cup to Eugene Black,
lawyer and banker for his splendid
service in putting over Atlanta's
community chest campaign.
Wayeross Kiwanians have follow
ed Atlanta's lead and this year
they have awarded to Jack Will
liams, editor and publisher of Way
cross daily paper, a cup for the
most conspicuous service to his
community.
In presenting the cup to Jack
Williams the club spokesman cited
few of the things Jack had ac-
complished for his communicates
fight for creamery, his effort in
securing school bonds for Way
cross, and number of other civic
efforts which met success.
The idea is decidedly worthwhile
When citizen, through devotion
and pride for his home town, puts
over something really worthwhile,
his efforts should be recognized in

that the three civic clubs-Lions,
Kiwanis and Rotary 49, would be

would combine and award at the
