The Komandorskie Islands, near the

remarks a bulletin from the Wash

recalls. that Vitus Bering. who dis
covered Alaska for Russia, was ship
wrecked and died while on his way
back to Siberia with his important
tidings.
"Postscript" Of the AleutIans.
THE islands are unquestionably n
part Of Siberia politically" 1t con-
tinues. but they are physically the
very tip of the Aleutian chain Of
Alaskan islands. The Aleutians sweep
across the Pacific in huge crescent
for some 1900. miles. fencing in

goes. they end with Attu. western

bridge between the Western and

Geology, too, proves the kinship
OF the Asiatic and American islands
Both are of volcanic origin and ap-
proximately the same age thrust up
by the underground fires that still
smolder around Mount Katmi and the
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes on
the Alaskan Peninsula. at one end
OF the crescent, and in the numerous
active craters Of Kamchatka at the
other.
Eluded Early Explorer.
Though the Komandorskie Islands
are barely 100 miles off Kamchatka
and straight westward from the
mouth of the kamchatka River, from
which the early Russian voyages
started. they were not discovered ap-
parently during the 13 years from
1928 to 174l, when Bering and his
fellow navigators were cruising along
the Asiatic coast and looking east
ward for land. After Bering, in his
Kamchatkan-built ships. had found
Alaska, near Mount St Elias. in 1741
and had worked his way back along
the Aeutian chain. he sighter what

900 of this sum, there will re-
main $5S,532, to which may be
added $4,000, for that amount
of bonds will be retired in the
near future. Therefore there is
a leeway for other bonds during
the next two years of $73,532
if bonds are needed for other
purposes, such as schools, for
instance.
Bonds should not be issued for
temporary paving or for tempo
rary repairs. Bond money should
be invested in improvements
that will serve beyond the life
of the bonds.
The need for immediate ac-
ton is apparent. The Mayor,
the Council and those citizens
who were in conference, with
the Mayor and Council were
unanimous in this opinion. De-
lay can accomplish nothing other
than adding to the already heavy
expense of temporary repairs.

PAYING Bulls.

One of the chief banes of bu-
siness-all business-is the dila-
toriness and indifference of so
many people with reference to
the payment of bills. The effect
of this Indifference is so wide
spread that it affects the entire
business community, for ones
ability to pay depends largely
upon collections. And so the
failure of one firm or individual
to pay bill when it is due or
presented passes all around the
business circle like a contagion.
Some people are just naturally
careless or Indifferent about the
prompt payment of bills. They
put off the payment merely as a
matter of convenienc or when
they perhaps have no valid or
real excuse for doing so. This
is one of the very worst of bust
ness habits.
And then there are some who
just seem never to pay cheer
fully if they pay at all. and still
others who will not pay except
under pressure or until made
mad.
The prompt payment of bills
is habit that should be cultiva
ted not only by business estab-
lishments but by all individuals
as well.-Albany Herald.

DON'T ACT TOO HASTILY

Georgia peach growers are
discouraged. In Colquitt county
there are a number of young or
chards, and their owners have,
some of them, become a little
blue over the peach outlook.
The trees cucumber some vaul-
able land, and the temptation viii,
come to many to get rid of the
trees and put the land in tobacco
or cotton.
Peaches may pay better next
year.
1t is possible that we will not
have another year soon that is
as bad as this year has been on
the peach grower.
They make easy money some
seasons.
The Colquitt county peaches
will find a lot of local demand,
and they will come on the market
a little ahead of the Fort Valley
peaches. They should sell for a
good price.
Many man has quit new
crop too soon. He has gone to
considerable expense to get start
ed with it and has then become
discouraged and turned from it
just before the time of profit
taking -Moultrie Observer.

DANGEROUS

Airplanes at some of the ocean
beaches have been flying low over
the bathers to throw a scare into
them. One woman was severely in
jured, struck by an anchor or some
other object dangling from rope
attached to the plane. 1t starts us
thinking, what a dangerous device
the airplane will be in the hands of
fools. Autos are bad enough.
When airpIanes swarm overhead
by the thousands, the garbage and
clutter that will shower on our
heads will be fright, unless planes
are barred from flying over COM
munities. They could be restricted
to "air lanes" or roads, flying traf-
fc cops keeping them there.

ON THE RIGHT ROAD

Germany has repudlated the
kaiser and the militarists and has
set out on the road toward de-
mocratic institutions, which mean
prosperity and happiness for all
its people. This was the message
brought to Atlanta last week by
Herr August Knocke, of the pro-
minent Hamburg banking house
of Behrens & Company.
The distinguished German visi-
tor remarked in an interview
given The Constitution that more
is heard of the nationalists and
communists than from the silent
masses of Woodworking people
who realize that the war has been
lost and that only combined ac-
ton and sincere endeavor to
carry out the obligations of the
Versailles treaty will bring a
brighter day for the fatherland.

They Will Not Mix

Gasoline Tin an automobile

ach of the driver) will not mix,
successfully. Given both in
gradients and Death rides astride
the radiator. If there was no
better reason for prohibition,
the gasoline motor and the open
road are sufficient. This thought
advanced by r. K. Gilbert in the
Baltimore Sun, is commented on
by the Mapufacturers' Record in
the following:
In the United States there are
100000 registered automo-
biles and motortrucks. No man
would for one moment dare to
say that the men who drive these
cars should be allowed to drink,
and more and more the courts
are sending to Jail any intoxi-
Gated man who is caught driving
car.
The locomotive engineer-and
by the rules of railroads, and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, no engineer is allowed to
partake Of Intoxicating drinks
is not under any greater strain
than is the man who runs an au-
tomobile in a crowded city or on
crowded country highways. A
clear brain, clear eye and cool
hand are needed to avoid certain
death to those in the car, or
those whom the car may hit if
unwisely handled.
There is certainly an average
of three or four people carried
in all the cars and motor trucks
in the country. This would mean
that from 45,OO0,0OO to 60,000,-
900 people, moving back and
forth from day to day in auto
mobiles. are by the very neces-
sity of the case compelled to feel
that their lives depend upon the
abstinence of the drivers of these
cars from the use of intoxicants.
The power of this influence for
sobriety must necessarily grow
with the growth of the automo-
bile industry, and to that there
seems to be no limit. And the
lives of all pedestrians are equal
ly endangered by drunken driv-
ers.
He who attempts to drive an
automobile while under the in
fluence of whisky is a potential
murderer. He is driving ma
chine capable of inflicting inn
mediate death when he is utter
ly incapable of managing it. He
is menacing the life and proper
ty of everyone and everything
he passes. ......

John w. Davis Creed

A new note of fidelity to the
highest aspirations of Democ-
racy was souned by John W.
Davis in his presentation of the
Democratic principles and pur-
poses in his acceptance speech.
This declaration of the Demo
cratic nominee should be cher
ished by all who claim allegiance
to the party. Mr.. Davis express
ed that creed in these words:
"He only deserves to be called
a progressive who cannot see
wrong persist without an effort
to redress it, or a right denied
without an effort to protect it;
who feels a deep concern for the
economic welfare of the United
States, but realizes that the max
ing of better men and women is
a matter greater still; who thinks
of every governmental policy first
of all in its bearing upon human
rights rather than upon material
things; who believes profoundly
in human equality and detests
privilege in whatever form or
in whatever disguise, and who
finds the true test of success in
the welfare of the many and not
the prosperity and comfort of the
few. The civic unit of America
is not the dollar but the individ
ual man. All that goes to make
better and happier and freer men
and women in progress, all else
is reaction. P,rogressives of this
sort, though they may not care
to use the name, nevertheless in
their hearts are Democrats"
These are words from the
heart Of statesman, one who
believes. in himself, his party
and his principles, and it's such
statesman-like utterances that is
today placing John w. Davis in
the forefront of American states
men. The American people will
be safe in such hands during the
next four years.
