GEORGIA PRODUCERS
HAVE LIKE INTERESTS
Farmer Is Partner With Utility in
Common Cause of Creating Pri-
mary Wealth of State.

There is a closely knit bond OF mu-
tual interest between the farmers OF
Georgia and the public utility compa-
MES which makes them an economic
unit. 1t is a fact worthy of investiga-
ton and study Let us see.
Both are producers OF essential, pri-
mary wealth. Both are subject for
prosperity to the same natural laws.
Where other forms OF industry deal
with the conversion of raw materials
into finished products, the farmer and
the public utility company produce
those raw materials That is, they re-
lease and combine the natural forces
which produce. This is as close as man
has been able to come to the act of
creation.
The farmer and the public utility,
then. may both call themselves by the
proud name of creators.
Consider:
(a) The farmer prepares his soil,
sows his seed, cultivates and finally
gathers the ripened crop and distrib-
utes it.
(b) The public utility builds its
power house or gas plant and produces
energy in the form of electricity or
gas and distributes it.
Both make use of certain natural
forces for the benefit of the world and
incidental benefit to themselves. Es-
sentially, actually, there is no differ
ence between the utility's service and
that of the farmer to the people of
Georgia. Both deal in the fundamen-
tails OF material life; both may be
termed Alchemists creating what 9TH
ers must have in order to live or work
or achieve or to build.
When the fact of this partnership
this community of interests fully
understood we will have removed from
Georgia's pathway to progress its
greatest single obstacle. For the first
obligation of any partnership is will
lingness to understand and to work
together.

FIRE DESTROYS THE HOME
OF Mr.. WILL LIVINGSTON
About Half of Household Effects Saw
ed. Some Insurance Carried.

The house and about half OF the
household goods of Mr.. Will Living
ston, who lives about five miles out on
the Dawson-Americus highway, was
completely destroyed by fire Monday
about ! O'Clock.
Mr.. Livingston was in Dawson at
the time of the fire, but Mrs. Living
ston was at home A number OF ne
groes from the saw mill nearby were
also at the house, where they had
eaten dinner The fire started in the
roof, which was very dry, and burned
so rapidly that it could not be extin-
guished by the fighters. All efforts
were turned to the saving OF as many
household goods as possible.
Mr. Livingston carried $1,000 insur-
ance on the house and none on the
furniture The fire department at
Dawson was summoned, but due to
the distance and lack OF water con-
nections they did not respond. The
loss is estimated at about $4,000

DAWSON HIGH ADDS
ANOTHER VICTORY
DEFEATS SYLVESTER LADS BY
SCORE OF 20 TO IN GAME
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The Dawson high school football
team continued its victorious march
by defeating the Sylvester team, in
Sylvester, by the overwhelming score
of 20 to 0. The game was not very
interesting and no wonderful plays
we're made during the four periods.
The Dawson boys made practically all
of their gains on straight tootball'
using very few fake plays or forward
passes. At no time did the Sylvester
lads seem to threaten the Dawson
team
This is indeed a wonderful record
for the local eleven, only one defeat,
that at the hands OF Americas, which
was later avenged in Dawson, and
six victories.
Three more games are scheduled to
be played by the Dawson boys. On
Friday afternoon they will meet the
Blake1y bunch in that city. Blakely
has played none of the teams which
have met Dawson, but they white
washed the Donalsonville eleven by
a score OF 90 to 0, which goes to prove
they at least have a strong team. On
the following Friday Eufaula will
come to Dawson to match their skill
against the Dawson boys in the last
game OF the season. Eufaula has a
strong team and Dawson was defeated
by them in Eufaula last year The
two teams will both enter the field
with an enviable record behind them
with Dawson being possibly the more
determined on account of their defeat
last season. 1t is hoped that a large
crowd will be present to see the final
game OF the season

DONKEY AND MULE
SERVE MAN WELL
ln Some Countries Rank Far
Aboue Horse.

The donkey and the mule, slandered
and slurred, more often cursed than
discussed, maligned and impugned as
obstreperous, cantankerous beasts OF
burden, have served man long and
well. The best donkeys, says the
Brooklyn Eagle, are not to be found
in this country, although in the coal
mines and mountainous regions the
patiently working little beasts daily
render service that no other animal
could well perform. Because of their
hard, tough hoofs they. are able to
climb rugged and rocky mountains and
to traverse parts of the earth's sur
face that would be- impossible to q
horse.
The donkeys OF Spain are especially
good, and In Egypt the donkey is far
more precious than the horse. 1t Is
said that the donkey is far better
able to find its way over the desert
than Is the camel, and travellers have
reported seeing long lines of camels
travelling in caravan with a single
donkey In the lead. The camels carry
the water supply for their little pilot
of the caravan and, In return for this
service, he leads them safely In the
right direction.
The donkey is the father of the
mule. On the eastern continent dom
keys run wild and have interbred
with horses The mule is the result
of this interbreeding. its father being
the donkey and It's mother the horse.
The mule and the donkey are alike
in many respects. The mule Is the
larger of the two animals, but both
have the same streak Of obstinacy
and an excellent memory. AS a mat
ter of fact, their memory Is often too
good. They will long remember peo-
pie who have mistreated them and
plainly show their resentment for
long time after They are alike en-
lowed with a will power that Is
peculiarly strong and they like to
have their own way. This trait has
earned for them the reputation of be-
Ing balky, obstreperous and obstinate.
The donkey has mouth that Is
lined with very tough skin SO that
he can live on vegetable fare that
would probably kill a less hardy anil
NAL. Thistles he can masticate thor
oughly. Both the mule and the donkey
can live on rough food on which
horse would starve to death Each
eats considerably less thun horse
In European and AsiatIc countries
and, In fact, Ia all countries where
there is much mountainous territory,
a great part Of the commerce Is de-
pendent upon the donkey. The hardy
little animal can carry load OF I'M
believable weight with apparent ease
and little discomfort. Caravans OF
them will start on long trip over
the. mountains heavily loaded with
for all parts of the world
Over the mountains and down to
seaport he will carry his burden
There the cargo of spices, camphor
and what not is loaded on ships and
rarrled to the four corners OF the
earth.
