Because of the confusion arising from

our protest against connecting the

ANOTHER WORLDS END PASSES
Over 1000 persons were disappointed"
when Feb. 9th did not usher in the end
Of the world as they expected. They
formed a group, known as the "R0Weh-
ties, which was communicated from
the Seventh Day Adventist church be-
cause of its confidence in the prophecy of
Mrs. Margaret RoWen of Los Angeles
who, Gin 1923, claimed to have received
the following message direct from heav-
en-: MY son will return Feb, s, 1925.
Proclaim it, proclaim it, proclaim it from
the skies!"
Though the church's general confer
euce issued a statement from its head
quarters at Takoma Park, d. c., saying
that Mrs. RoWen's claims have not been
substantia}ed and we hold her to be an
arch deceiVer," some people put such
faith in her prediction that they gave up
their jobs, sold their earthly possessions
and used the money to issue literature
warning the world of its impending
doom. Early on the morning Of the ia
tai day certain little groups in various
parts Of the country gathered on hilItops
to expedite their translation to Holly
wood, CAL, where the blessed shall
stand together" to await the second com.
ing of Christ. He was expected to ar
rive on a cloud that stoppe4 at several
planets to pick up saints. The RoWen-
ties believed only 144, 900 persons would
be sa Jed. After viewing the destruction
of the world, the elect we're to be moved
TO heaven by easy stages, stopping off at
Jupiter on the way. The gathering on
the hilltops, the RoWenites explained,
was TO escape the mobs Of unsaved who
will run riot 10 anger"
AS the hours sped by and nothing happen
ed the little clan abandoned its praying,
fasting and singing hymns and discussed
the situation. There was speculation
whether Mrs. R0Wen meant the end Of
the world Vas coming at the beginning
or the end of the day, or whether the
millennium only was to begin. Some
what bewiIdered, the members later took
up earthly duties. At Washington, so it
is said, one woman gave up a gOOd-pay-
ing Job in the wal department and sold
her belongings to await the enc. A fam

A Negro Philanthropist.

The people of Mays Landing, N. J., have
cause to rejoice that John Underhil1, negro,
was their neighbor and friend. He amassed
considerable fortune, and at his death his
will bequeathed 100000 to the board Of ed
ucation so that the children will enjoy the
fruits of my labor His success in life was
due to the continued patronage by the chill
dren of the candy shop he operated, and now
the pennies they spent are coming back to
them as rich endowment.
The children of Mays Landing to whom
the aged negro philanthropist left his fortune
are nearly all white For years he was the
only negro in the community. Thus it is
shown that he was not swayed by racial in
stincts, but that he devoted himself to the
welfare of the community where he had won
success and where he had been respected by
his neighbors while he lived. And yet it was
not Underhills will that influenced recogni-
ton Of his worth as citizen of MAYS Land
ing. Let it be said that the people who were
his neighbors and who held a community
funeral service to show honor to his mem
ory had acknowledged before his death that
he was worthy of their friendship.
Fond of little children, Underhi1l had seen
many of them grow to maturity and it was
from them that the pennies came that grew
into the 100000 fortune Now he has re-
turned it to them with interest, and the most
impressive thing in connection with the en-
dowment IS not the value in money but the
quality of the spirit which prompteH~it No
wonder the people of Mays Landing paid
tribute to John Underhill's memory.

An IIl-Advised Movement.
From the Macon Telegraph.

Although the cotton farmers have leglti-
mate complaint this year against the depart
ment of agricultures crop reports-a COM
plant based on a 600000-bale jump in the
estimate in the space OF two weeks-it is ILL
advised for anyone to join in the camor
which has been feebly raised that congress
do away with this method of reporting the
crops.
We have only to go back to the days before
the institution of the reporting system to un-
derstand why it is unwise. Cotton gambling
was a favorite pastime among those who
contributed nothing to the production OF the
crop. Gambling in cotton still exists, but it
was much easier in those days and much
more disastrous to the farmer. The estimates
upon which the prices were fixed and the
gambling done came from private sources.
Each of the sources had certain following.
1t was easier to corrupt any one OF the So
called expert" sources and produce hgures
that were wholly unreliable, figures which had
no actual relation to the supply and the de-
mand, but nevertheless fixed the price of
cotton. The present system was instituted at
the expressed demand Of the cotton growers.
If the government abolished its reporting
system the farmer would again be in the
hands of the wolves and the gamblers. SEN
ator Harris says there are forty private re-
porting agencies at present, all of them vary
ing widely from government figures 1t is on
ly reasonable that if private interests went
into the heavily expensive business of col
lectng data with any degree of completeness
approaching the governments the cotton
farmer would have to pay the toll by indirec-
ton He would be completely at the mercy
of gamblers, without even an approximate
idea as to the actual supply and demand OF
cotton.
The department of agriculture, the dsin-
terested government agency, is, therefore, the
best medium for collecting the figures. Its
service is one of protection to the farmer.

Beauty and Dumbness.
From the New York Times.

A man who has taken leading part in the
management of several beauty contests" at
a nearby shore resort proclaimed last week
as his conclusion from the observation of the
young women who took part in these compe-
titions and won the prizes in them that all
of them were to be described as beautiful,
but dumb"
In other words he held that beauty and
stupidity go together in women. This man is
not alone in this belief. In one form or an
other, and at many times, it has been ex-
pressed by others, and it has come to be ac-
cepted, widely, almost as a matter OF COM
mon knowledge and experience.
If all beautiful women are dumb the
converse ought to be true, and who will con
tend that all the plain" women are notable
for wit and wisdom? Everybody knows that
they are not, and it is highly probable that
if, as class their Intelligence quotient" is
higher than that of the beauties, as class,
it is merely because they are so much more
numerous.
And what is beauty anyway if it is not
the result of good heredity and of good
health? Intelligence goes with those things,
not "dumbness,' and the high esteem men
ly is fully justified phychologically and
psysologically, but it proves their instructive
service of the race.
The beauty contest man, too, is i'll quail
fed to Judge women. Those with whom he
has dealt were not good or even average
specimens, in that every one of them neces-
sary lacked the decacy of sentiment, the
natural or acquired sense OF propriety that
inevitably would keep any woman of really
high type from displaying herself, costumed
as these rivals are before gaping crowds
Not only is it probable that these particular
paragons are dumb" If they were not, they
wouldn't be in such a contest

Will Piney Woods Come Back?

When the southern lumberman cuts his
forest land clean instead OF taking only the
cream CT the timber crop, he has far-reach-
supply according to the observations Of the
Southern Forest Experiment Station of the
Forest Service, United States Department Of
Agriculture r. d. Forbes, director of the
station, says clean cutting OF the forest in re-
cent years has left land in much poorer
shape, because of the lack of good seed trees,
than did the lighter cuttings of the early
days.
This is apparent over wide areas, but even
clearer is the evidence that where fire has
run through the cut-over land any advantage
that light cutting has over heavy cutting is
obliterated. Save for a few hre-protected
spots, much OF south Mississippi is reported
to, be devoid OF extensive forest growth be-
cause of the annual fires and close cutting of
timber Eastern Texas, on the Contrary has
prohted from steady campaign against fires,
and in many sections now has growing on
cut-over lands a second crop of timber that
will soon be merchantable.
The Forest Experiment Station will this
year conduct broad survey OF cutover lands
in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, and later in Arkansas, Louisiana, Flor
ida and South Carolina. This survey is ex-
pected TO give valuable information on the
growth OF the southern pines and the extent
to which the cut-over lands are coming
back"

Know Georgia Better.

Speaking Of home geography why do we
not know Georgia better? Perhaps the an
swer is that we neglect to teach Georgia
while instructng OF other states and coun-
tries. There are excellent reasons to know
where roads lead through the different coun-
ties and to the different cities and townss to
know what industries exist in the different
towns and cities of the state; what products
are standard in different sections; why and
which are the cotton and the tobacco coun-
ties; the character and difference Of the soils
and sections OF the state; what the factories
make and where they sell their productions;
all the facts of Georgia. AS stimulating Geor-
gia pride and patriotism nothing could be
better than to teach Georgia to Georgians.

Honor System Fails.

Texas, after trying the prison honor sys-
TEN for year, has discarded it because it
was learned in that time that prisoners could
not be trusted in sufficient number to JUS
tify it. There was an honor farm near Hous-
ton to which prisoners were sent and
where they were allowed many unusual priv
eges The men were permitted to roam at
leisure after the routine work on the farm
had been completed. They were not required
to do anything on Sundays and no one OBJ
ected if they took long walks-provided they
returned later,
Many prisoners took long walks, and kept
on going They have not returned yet, and
probably will not of their own voltion, This
is commonly known as French leave. Pris-
oners OF all classes and conditions are sus-
ceptble to the lure of the highways when
they get chance. The Texas honor farm
provided many opportunities such prison
ers with wanderlust might wish Therefore,
the honor farm, modelled after one in Flori-
ia, will be run in different way with armed
guards assigned to their posts and rigid
discipline established. In this connection it
is recalled that an honor prison farm here
in Georgia Tin Fulton county, was disap-
pointment and was soon abandoned.
1t can be said for and against the honor
prison system that it works when it works,
and it doesn't when it fails The success of
the honor system depends, OF course, on
what is within the individual prisoner. Meant
| by society as a means OF reclamation, the
honor system was expected to encourage per-
sons who had not gone too far to be reclaim
ed Reformers believe a good many prisoners
could be trusted if allowed privileges that
eased their confinement. 1t IS true, too, that
many persons. remorseful after violating the
/ law really welcome the chance to go straight
/ On the other hand, the majority OF offenders
think OF liberty merely as a means to perpe-
trate other crimes.
Texas realizes now that in majority OF
cases the wiser course is to exact the pun
ishment fixed by law. Other states have
found fault with the honor system after try

Weather and the Weevil.
From the Mobile Register.

Southern cotton farmers suffered less from
cotton pests during the crop year just end
ing than during any crop growing season for
more than ten years. Reports Of the govern
ment show that the boil weevil was less ac-
tive in every state that has suffered great
financial loss in the past because of its raw
ages. However, the south should not come
to the conclusion that it has won its fight
against the weevil. A statement issued by
the bureau Of entomology information
compiled by the Delta Laboratory at Tallu-
lah Louisiana, shows that it was not man S
fight against the pest that reduced its field
of activity but unfavorable weather condi-
tionS.
In wide portions of the cotton belt dry
weather established almost complete control
of the weevil. In Texas ami Oklahoma, save
in small areas the weevil vas held in check
and did not appear in any large numbers un-
It'll the general migration period. In Arkan-
sas the injury was grea-er III 1925 than in
1924, though light when compared with 1922
and 1923. Rains late in July made conditions
favorable for the propagation OF the weevil,
and it destroyed late-.formiIn,g squares and
young bolls. In Louisiana, Mississippi, Ten
nessee, Georgia and South Carolina the dam
age was negligible.
Little injury was reported in northern Ala
bama. However, according to the statement,
in the southern portion high infestations
were reported in certain local areas with con-
siderable damage. Injury generally was much
greater than in the northern portion OF the
state" North Carolina also suffered some
what from weevils due to the scattered rains
which caused the pest to multiply during the
growing season.
The Statement indicates that the greatest
ally of the southern cotton farmers is the
weather Weevils cannot propagate when
rains do not fall. Hot, dry weather also re-
tards the growth of the crop. The success
OF the crop this year, however, indicates that
the kind Of weather given to the south during
the growing season is more favorable to the
farmers than to the weevil.

The Faithful Cow.
From the Greensboro Herald Journal.

The COW and her kind have contributed
more to mans welfare than any other do
mestic animal. She gives us milk, our most
important food, to drink; she provides rs
with butter and cheese, both wholesome and
rich in food nutriments and vitamins; her
flesh enters largely into dietaries; the
leather made OF her hide covers our feet, and
she provides us with necessities and Injuries
in other directions; and finally her bones,
blood and offal fertilize gardens and
fields.
But the cow has still done more In adj
diton to food and protection her labor has
made the earth to yield forth generous har-
vests. The first crooked stick used as a plow
was fastened to the horn of bull, and not
to the leather thong attached to the shoulder
OF the horse. Horses when first domesticated
were used to ride, not to work
The COW labored in the field to raise veg
etable products for human food, yielded up
her milk at night time to give drink and
when needed submitted her carcass as flesh
for human sustenance. Truly the COW has
been and is today our most helpful domes-
ticated animal We should be kind to her and
treat her with good will and respect.
