Protection for Fish

Georgia''s Game and Fish Laws have been
somewhat changed to give the poor fish bet
ter chance to exc out living until they get
large enough to feed humans; the changes,
if enforced will be beneficial to the state at
large, as they are intended to conserve the
supply of fish for food and give the sportsman
a chance. SEEMING, netting and the use of fish
traps and baskets is prohibited and heavy fines
are provided for the volators of the act.
Dynamiters are given fine of from $40 to
$1,000, if caught. 1t is hoped that the friends
of the law and the public generally will take
enough interest in its enforcement to see to it
that it is not the farce that the game and fish
laws of the past have BEEN The game warden
is not always picked for his respect for law
but more often for the simple reason that his
home sportsmen can depend on him to over
look any of their own hunting excuses, while
he may make show by prosecuting some poor
white man or negro.
We have seen such happen in our short ex-
perience. Let the law be enforced without
prejudice and it will built up respect for the
department and it's officials.

The Battle Is On

Students and teachers are set for another
wear. We expect good results from this
school year, we have right to expect it. We
want intellectual attainments to gain us
standing in the district meet. We believe that
the present faculty is lined up along principles
which will make that goal The patrons of the
schools are solid behind the faculty and the
Board of Education to that end.
But the schools likewise have right to
expect much of us. There are many duties we
owe our schools, and be it said to our shame
we seldom ever perform these duties. If the
schools were as negligent in it's duties to the
public as the public is in it's duties to the
schools, the education system OF the country
would be dismal failure. Some one says
taxes are paid for the support of the schools,
and that these taxes are paid religiously each
wear. This is true, and these taxes are vitality
necessary But money support is not the only
kind a school needs. Every one feels he has
right to criticise the schools and continually
find fault with them. Teachers do make mis-
takes, it is true, but one who has never taught
can not realize the things withw hich teacher
has to contend. What we need is more CO.
operation given our schools and less fault
finding The average teacher is sincere and
gives her best effort She is hard worker.
She has the interests of her pupils at heart
She puts in extra hours and does many other
things which the public never hears anything
about But let her make little mistake in judg
ment, and the tongues soon start waggng, the
telephone bell of the superintendent starts
tingling with incoming complaints and the
members of the school board are urged to sum
mary fire the worthless teacher"
We have right to expect teacher to give
her best work, but she in return is entitled to
our cooperation. Parents should take an in
terest in the work of the school and visit
schools more frequently. Such an attitude on
the part of parents would have gratifying
effect and would result in much better schools.
We hope for the best schools this year in the
history of Fitzgerald. Let's all do our part
in making the schools what we want them to
be.

Women and Bonds

"The Tie that Binds" involving
women and children has been beau
tiful sentiment these many years, but
who would have thought that bonds
of a commercial kind would make
draughts too, on mother love and
child interests to the extent our pre-
sent bond election campaign demon
strates. Their more alert concern for
their children's school interests
makes mothers valuable allies in the
work of successfully carrying bond
issue that will insure larger, safer
buildings for white and colored chill
drren and water protection for the
colored section, too. All Parent-Teach
er associations and special commit
tees, responding to S. o. S. calls from
the council committees, have given
unstinted time and effort thus far
and on election day they will be seen
more thhan ever active to bring
about successful results.

Saying Goodbye

Several Ben Hill families are making last
preparations to leave for the new land of OPP
portunity-Florida. At least it is believed to
afford more opportunity at present than most
other sections of the country. Florida has
enjoyed tremendous degree of prosperity,
for number of reasons Development in re-
cent years has been rapid, and many have
made fortunes in real estate deals.
The primary purpose of our fellow citizens
in locating in Florida is not land speculation,
however; but establishing homes. They are
workers, and workers are always welcome
where there is work to do. We hope they will
find their surroundings to their liking in the
land of perpetual sunshine and flowers, and
that they may prosper as they deserve. We
hope also that they will not forget their old
home town. If for any reason, Florida proves
disappointing, we hope they will return to
Ben Hill county:
The movement toward Florida has many of
the characteristics of earlier emigrations
Years ago Dakota" was the land of promise,
and their have been group migrations to 9TH
er sections. Some of these adventures have
come back, and prospered better since return
ing to their former homes than they had be-
fore. Our best wishes go with those who in
the spirit of pioneer days move out to make
homes for themselves and their children.

How to Build

You cannot build town by holding prop
erty. The way to get the boom in motion is
to sell some of your land holdings at a reason
able price and let the other fellow improve it.
Every time an addition is opened up to any
city you see many new buildings go up and
new citizens occupy them There are ex-
tremes to be avoided but the curse of most
towns is vacant lots and non-productive
property. Get lot and put a house on it,
and thus make both house and property add
to the income of the town and owner.

IN FULL ACCORD

A Georgia Legislature will break out occa-
sionaly and do fool thing. Passing law
to regulate public meetings, limiting mass
meetings to registered voters and requiring
that they shall be held in the court house only,
and then not until ten days notice shall have
been given, smacks of the old days in Russia.
They ruled after that fashion in Russia for
many years, and maybe that is the reason that
such harsh judgment has been visited on that
land We think the citizens of the country
will go on holding mass meetings and holding
them where they please, and they will not
wait ten days to hold them The meetings will
not be confined to the educated class, or the
voting class, or to this or that class. And the
white and the black and the brown, the red
and the yellow races will be privileged to meet
and speak and pass resolutions. The Legisla-
ture has lot of important matters before it
that are crying for adjustment. There is
enough to do besides taking excursions in the
field of hate, prejudice, narrowness and intol-
erance.-Moultrie Observer.

composed of youngsters instead OF

men," The reply is made tina THESE
thin sailors, if seen at. target practice

friends for Australia in time of Osi-
attic aggression, also the idea is ad-
vanced that modern fighting is done
with brains more than Drawn, and
the stouter men do better service in
the foundries and on the farms where
muscle really counts. Ane place at
least these shheik sailors did make a

tralian girls, the number and rapid
ity of marriages being matter of
much concern to the naval authori-
ties at the time.

Farrar in New Role


Geraldine Farrar has essayed a
number of roles, besides that of the
conventional grand opera diva. While
still secure in her Metropolitan ca
reer, she made frequent side steps in
to motion picturs. Turning her back
on the classic opera just before dan
ger doomed in the shape of a success
full rival, she organized company
of her own and gave one of her sue
cessful operas, Carmen, in an alb
breviated, expurgated or ceptidate
form that was very popular. Just now
she is planning to enter the comic
opera field, not in any known opera,
however, but in new production
written for her by a composer of in
ternational fame, and she will have
an ensemble of splendid singers re-
cruited from grand opera ranks and
operate schools, and be supported
by an imposing orchestra of high
merit.

What's in a Name?

Sometimes considerable honor is
shown in the bestowal Of name, es-
pecially with colleges. Harvard, Yale,
Stanford and the more recent Duke
University are among those honoring
their benefactors. A suggestion is
now made that Emory University
might we'll be renamed for its great
est benefactor, Asa G. Gambler, in
stead of the rather obscure Method
list bishop of Maryland whose inter-
est in Georgia was only general one,
but whose death occurring at about
the same time that Georgia college
was in process of founding, prompted
the idea of naming it Emory. The
original site with it's academy might
still perpetuate his name, but the
splendid University in Atlanta is
such because of the millions Mr..
Gambler has given it. True there is
the Gambler School of Theology but
this is named for Bishop Gambler,
honored brother of the benefactor;
also the Maternity Pavilion of the
Wesley Memorial which was mil
lion dollar gift from Mr.. Gambler is
named for his wife, Lucy Elizabeth,
and so dedicated by their children,
but as Professor Wighman F. Melton
asks. 'Ts not something being left UNI
done, that should be done?"

been dismissed by his chief. In his
zeal the agent made ardent love to
a young woman and when after be-

him a quart of whiskey which she
did, had her arrested. This seemed too
unethical to the authorities, so they
dismissed the charge against her, and
asked for the agents resignation.

Defining "Poor Persons
Everything goes by comparison,
which makes it difficult to say def
nitely who are rich and who are
poor. The British Supreme Court has
increased the number Of assize or
lower courts where divorce proceed
ings may be heard in consideration OF
htose "poor persons" who may find
the trouble and expense of going to
London too great when seeking ma
trimonial freedom. The class of peo-
ple to be thus favored and designat-
ed as "poor persons" are those earn
ing not more than four pounds or $40
a week and whose property possess
sions do not exceed $500. Another
term to embrace that large middle
class, who are neither rich or poor,
is seen to be lacking.

Oysters Return to Favor

The alleged discovery of disease
carrying oysters last fall caused such
a sensational slump in the industry
that thousands of fishermen and
scores of factories were thrown out
of business. To counterfeit this con-
dition the Bureau of Fisheries began
an educational campaign and are
now ready to demonstrate that thru
supervision and scrutiny the oysters
now finding market are more SAM
tary than they have ever been, and
can be guaranteed in wholesomeness
as much as can any uncooked food
such as lettuce, strawberries or milk.
Cooking the oysters of course, is the
safest plan anytime, though all raw
foods are riched in vitamines, the
oyster containing iodine so valuable
for the thyroid gland. America con-
sumes an average Of 2O,O00,000 bush
els of oysters annually with turn
over of more than $14,000,0OO.
