Must Do 1t Ourselves.

One of the Georgia contemporaries OF lhe
News couldn't have said more in halt col
umn than is contained in these few lines:
Gust few small manufacturing en-
terprises in operation here would Stinu-
late business the year round, bring adj
ditonal capital and people to our town,
with new ideas and new business OF va
rious kinds affordng employment tor
Others, and in the end build for us small
size city
The above is also applicable to Dawson,
Our own town will never grow and prosper
as it should as long as it depends solely on
the agricultural resources of the surrounding
section What is needed is number OF man
ufacturing enterprises large or small, and the
consequent payrolls. All admit that but make
10 effort to get them. We want some gener-
Gus outsider to ferret us out and bring them
to us without cost and without price. The
News is not expecting such good luck. If
Dawson is to prosper and grow we must have
more than three or four months business in
the fall of the year from the sale OF the cot
ton crop-which has become uncertain. To
get out of the old rut and bring about better
conditions we must depend upon our own
public spirit and invest our own capital. Stran-
gers will not look after Our interests or invest
their money in a town where its own citizens
do not have faith in its future or enterprise
enough to lend helping hand for the COM
mon good, What Dawson needs more than
any other one thing just now are few citi-
zens who will take the lead in securing in
dustrial enterprises and the payrolls that
would come with them There are a number
of men in Dawson who are capable OF rem
derng the town that much needed service.

How to Run for President.
rom the Montgomery (Ala) Advertiser.

The small vote cast by Alabama and Geor-
gia in their presidential primaries is a com
mentary on democracy Neither state polled
bali its regular voting strength. Ii there had
been contest FOR tax collector and the board
OF revenue in each county the vote would
have come out-but there would have been
no end OF trading off presidential votes Tor
local candidates.
In the next state presidential primary that
is held all rival candidates should have them
selves locked in an iron cage and be driven
through each county. Such an exhibit might
not arouse the patriotic fervor OF the people,
but it would stir their curiosity and possibly
induce them to vote.

The Razorback.
From the Honey Grove Tex Sentinel.

We tell you gentlemen, when you make
sport OF the razorback you make sport of
your betters. He was the noblest Roman of
the porcine family and the world shall not
see his like again. Compared to him the
Durocs Polands, Hampshires and the Ches-
tiers are but crawfsh chimneys to Pixies
Peak. The dudes Of the swine family have
to be fed, protected and fondled but the
good old razorback asked nothing of man
kind No disease ever touched him, no dog
could catch him, and he could earn his living
anywhere. If the hickory nuts and acorns
didn't fall he could climb the trees and get
them and there never was fence that could
keep him out OF a corn field. The razorback
cost nothing for keep, yet he furnished the
sweetest bacon and hams and was convertible
into the finest sausage that ever ministered
to the appetite of man.

Women and Talking.

Do women talk more than men? That
has been the common understanding, and
now we have the word of DR.. A. A. Bill,
professor of psychology i'll the New York uni
versity that they do "There is no question
about it, says the doctor And then he goes
into more or less scientific dissertation to
explain why it is that women talk more than
men.
1t is easier to agree with the doctors con-
illusions than it is to accept his reasons for
the superior voubility of women. One OF
them is that the vocabulary of women is
smaller and more central than that of men,
and another is that the occupation of men
require so much mental concentration that
they cannot do much talking while perform
ing their tasks while the women "Can cook,
bake crochet and talk at the same time.
Furthermore the woman, giving so much
time to the child with whom she babbles
and teaches to talk, has thus developed her
own speech"
Perhaps these reasons will do as well as
any other, in the absence of any known facts.
Accepting it as true that the women talk
more than the men, it is folly for anyone, even
a professor of psychology, to pretend that he
knows the reason why A woman talks more
than a man because she is a woman, and
there's no other reason. The professor may
contend that he has solved the mystery OF
femininity and that he understands the ma
ture of women, but he will not fool anybody.
Everybody knows better-knows that the
mystery can neither be solved or explained
The eternal feminine is a mystery, and a
mystery she will remain. Why, the women
themselves could not tell why it is that they
talk more than men: and if the women do not
understand themselves how can men be ex-
pected to understand them.
VIII the women deny that they talk more
than the men? That is hardly to be imag-
| ined. Have they not achieved the reputation
OF always having the last word, and does
not that Signify beyond peradventure that
they talk more than the men?
1t is offered in behalf of the men that while
they talk less than the women they talk
more to the purpose than do women, 1t Is
pointed out that the greatest writers anc
orators are men. Unquestonably there /;
truth in the contention, but that does moi
establish as truth that men talk to greater
purpose than do women Few will be pre-
pared to dispute the persuasions OF Ions
distance conversation, or dispute the effect
iveness OF the last word, in which the wo
men excel.
Unquestionab1y there is much useless anc
idle talk in human society, and the wome1
have no monopoly on 1.-THE men have moth
ing on them when it comes to that TO dis
cover what men think about listen to then
talk in their moments OF relaxation. Ii the
chatter OF women be considered vain ant
empty what shall be said of the converse
ton OF men? To say the least the CONVEX
sation OF the average group OF men, whel
they are not occupied with business, Is no
highly edifying, and the women could no
possibly be worse 1t would be to the credit a
well as the benefit OF men il they were a
times to say even less than they are reput
ed to say.

Most of us know when we have SAID
enough but few of us have sufficient sell
control to put the lid on.
MANY mans bank balance would be on
the wrong side if his creditors had their due.
Don't marry for money, but always for
love-and if a girl has money there's no
harm in trying to love her.
Fools reflect on what they have said; wise
men on what they are going to say.

DESERVE OUR SUPPORT

"The patriotism Of women. when
the country Is at peace, is an I'M
organized affair. 1t Is q point of
view which each woman works out
for herself, and for which the means
of expression is quiet and uncxcit-
ing. compared to wars patriotic
activities. The danger Is that celm-
ness may develop into passivity,
even into Indifference, and emphasis
may well be placed on the value 10
the nation Of women's patriotism
actively now as 1t did in 1917 and
1913"
This from "Peace-Time Patriot

which should not be permitted to
pass from women's minds. While
the Government through it's train
ing camps is endeavoring to do q
very important work 1t finds itself
hampered by false propaganda dis
seminating prejudice against these
training camps.

time N our history Is trying to make
use Of the lessons learned by pain

true democracy: there the boys and
clean camps and instruction In
keeping clean; are taught discipline,
responsibility. respect for law, pluck,

How true 1t Is that a government

ward gaining popular favor for the
launching of movement to raise
$250.000 for a community hospital
were brought to a successful climax
last week. A general meeting was
held in the Supreme Court room
recently and with a good rep
resentation of the citizens of north

ment. It was voted to place all
business matters in the hands of a
board Of trustees which was select

consensus of opinion indicates that

Already $4,000 has been raised

lost flowers from the grave of a
little son at Oak Grove cemetery
Decoration day, some person taking
them from the grave and throwing
them into the pond, took the mat
ter up with Governor Baxter who
turned the letter over to Deputy
Attorney General Clement F. Robin
son and Thursday she received the
following letter from him:
1.-THE Governor has referred to
IL! lot 30 Y,,r
14th, with Difference to flowers re-
wishes us to reply to- your letter
and take any action that the cir
cumstances justify.
1.-THE circumstances which you de-
scribe are certainly very distress
ing to your feelings and it is not
strange that you should feel that
you should have some redress. The
practical difficulty in the case Is
that there is an absence of definite
evidence necessary for bringing
court proceedings. / would also
suggest another situation, for you to
think over before taking any action
and that is that II you should start
any legal proceedings it might be
giving these people more attention
than they deserve. Sometimes 1t Is
petty acts Of malicious annoyance
rather than dignity them by taking
proceedings particularly. where
there Is doubt as to the amount of
legal evidence that can be pro-
duced."
Mrs. Libby is positive Of the
identification of the person who
committed this act and may take
action in the local court.
