Not Much the Matter With Georgia,
From the Atlanta Georgian.

"A great deal is being said about what is
the matter with Georgia There can't be
anything very serious the matter with a state
that is shipping roasting ears, beans, cucum-
bers, turnip green's, tomatoes, potatoes, hon
ey, colard seed and other things of like ma
ture by the carload, to say nothing of thous-
ands OF carloads of peaches, waternelonss,
cantaloupes and tobacco. Georgia is all
right. Her principal critics are folks who
produce none of these things" says The
Dawson News.
This subject, What is the matter with
Georgian" has been topic of comment in
many OF the Georgia newspapers of late. 1t
seems agreed there isn't anything much the
matter with Georgia, really. 1t is true we
have outbursts in the legislature about evo-
luton and then lot of US have for time
some more or less dsquieting thoughts. But
when we stop to consider that the same leg
islature that permits itself to get excited about
evolution passes biennial session bill we
feel better. No legislature has rendered
Georgia a finer or more stateSmanlike SER
vice than that The Legislature is being
thanked and congratulated from one end Of
Georgia to the other.

Enjoying Our Troubles.
From the Telfair Enterprise.

Most human beings seem just naturally to
enjoy misery. We don't refer to those who
really have bad luck, but to everybody in
general, lucky or unlucky, rich or poor. Ev-
erywhere we see somebody in trouble-even
if we look in. the mirror We envy our neigh
bors, and that distresses US. We may be fool
ish in our love affairs and our hearts ache.
We worry about debts, the state of our
health, the shortcomings of our neighbors,
about the crops, the weather, or our jobs,
Clothes bodied hair, politics or religion And
nothing worries US more than to have some
otherwise well-meanng citizen stop US on
the street aud tell us that one reason he
doesn't show his advancing age any more
plainly is that he has always made it a rule
not to worry 1t is hard to keep from calling
that kind of a man a liar because we know
too we'll that the people who never worry
are so few they could hold convention in
sugar bowl and still not crowd each other.

SOUTH GEORGIA AwAKENs.

From the Pearson Tribune.
There is new awakening at the agricul-
tural possibilities of south Georgia. The adj
vent Of the boil weevil played large part
in this awakening. The weevil set the pace
and the folks are fairly keeping up with the
procession. The people of south Georgia have
learned that really there is something in di-
versifed farming, and that there is much
more for them to learn before they reach
the high water mark in farming. One import
ant thing is the rotation of crops. They have
learned that one crop cannot follow itself in
definitely, but there must be a rotation OF
crops, and what crop is best to follow anoth-
er is the question.

What the World Gained.

The symposium on what the world gained
as result of the great war elected various
opinions Some eminent personages believe
that humanity was benefited; others think
that it was put at a decided disadvantage.
Differences OF opinion were bound to be
shown but it is reasonable to say that there
were great losses and great gains as direct
and indirect result OF the conflict
If one undertook to measure the gain
against the cost one might be perplexed. In
the symposium published all avoided that.
It was not safe ground on which to base
conclusions that humanity had won anything
as result Of the war Whereas, those who
took the stand that there was more loss than
gain evidently confined themselves to a study
of post war conditions. The millions OF lives
and the billions in treasure-these are gone
and cannot be recalled. Treatment OF the
question seems more or less heartless with
the price paid given no consideration, and
vet in arriving at a conclusion one usually
measures the results by cost standards.
The world gained in some respects 1t lost
in many others. 1t is a certainty that the
ambitious ideals to which the crusaders chung
as they opposed the central powers, which
was the ending OF war for all time, has not
been realized. 1t was to be "the last war,
# IS remembered 1t has not been, nor do
present indications promise that the last one
vet has been fought When the conflict was
at its worst the ruling passion with score
OF peoples was to fight in such way that
war positively would be ended. This easily
was the desire that transcribed all others.
The saving of civilization and making the
world safe for democracy" was not as COM
pelling in any sense as was the thought to
end war. Peoples everywhere believed that
if the conflict would eventually put stop to
war adjustments of other conditions would
be made without difficulty Above every
thing else they wanted perpetual peace. The
war has not yet brought that
Which is not to say that world peace is
impossible. 1t may yet come, and 1t may
result in the end from the world war. Ii 1t
does it may be said that humanity has gain
ed boon that was worth all it cost. Des-
tinv takes but little account of circumstant1al
and incidental costs, even of life, If 1t is able
to establish for future generations the hui
man profits that would come from peace

Severa units of the Blue squadron are al ready here.
 The enemy bombarded the canal yesterday, both from the air and with it's long range guns. The official um- pires announced that an aerial at- tack on the Gatun Locks was frus- trated, but that they have not yet de- termined how much damage was done by the naval guns that shelled Fort Randolph from a position beyond the range of this defensive work.
