assurance of the Industrial Index which
adds MANY a crop that dies a thousand
deaths at the hands of pessimistic prophets

Noting that dry weather has occasioned
,uneasiness in a good many sections this year
the Index says: at did appear as if farms
and farmers were getting very poor start.
And yet, it is all turning out all right The
refreshing rains have been falling and the
agricultural outlook is much improved"
In some sections of Georgia the crop pros

In Terrell and adjacent counties the outlook
is promising at this time.

Negroes Up North,

A negro murderer sentenced to be hanged
in Chicago shouted before the bar that all
he wanted was justice, but that he could not
get it because of the color of his skin He
then recalled that in the last year three ne
groes had been hanged, but that two white
men who had killed policeman had obtain
ed sentences of life Imprisonment. This negro
SLAYER is convinced that distinction is be-
ing made between whites and blacks by the
courts of Chicago.
Others have observed that negro criminals
in Chicago are given short shrltt while
whites seem to have the advantage If there
is chance at all for the white murderer to
escape the galows he gets its somehow. The
negro murderer, if convicted, is hanged by
the neck until he is dead without anyone go
ing to the trouble to have his sentence COM
muted. This difference in the treatment OF
white and negro murderers in Chicago act
ually exists Whether that is the fault OF GRIM
NAL court procedure or of jurles is not known
Negroes for years have looked longlngly
toward the north as the ideal place in which
70 live There, they reasoned they had TRENDS
who would give them their chance who DID
not regard them as inferior human beings and
who made few of the race distinctions preva-
lent in the south. If it is a fact, as Willie
Sans the last negro murderer sentenced &c
hang in Chicago. observes, that black Skin
is fatal to the slayer and that white one
;s a recommendation for leniency, then south
ern NEGROES have been wrong in regarding
the north as a sort of promised land.

the idea has failed to win the approval OF
President Coolidge.
The president in turning down the scheme
let it be known that Armistice day. when the
Defense day was to have been observed each
year is day for the promotion Of world
peace and not for military gestures. Also
the president is said to doubt if the army, or
even himself, has the right to change the
character of such day as Armistice day 1t

Interest So, $4,000 a Year.


Representative Davidson, OF Peach county.
Ga, says he wants to see paved roads all over
the state. but doubts that a bond issue of
H0,0O0.00O is tire most economical way to
get them. He doesn't believe that the legis-
lature will eadorSe such bond issue. He
seems to think that we can really get paved
roads by not issuing bonds.
The way he figures it ont is that bond
issue OF M0000000 for 80 years would cost
the state about $3500000 a year at the rate
OF 5 per cent. At the end of the life of these
bonds we will have paid out enough in inter-
est alone to pave 1000 more miles of our road
and still owe the original $7o00000O

Freakish Weather.

Dispatches early in the past week referred
10 poor old bewildered nature, whose bal
ance has been badly upset by ruthless de-
struction OF forests and the consequent dry
ing up OF streams" as an explanation for the
freakish weather when the temperature
dropped many degrees within few hours.
Southwest Georgia, along with other parts
OF the country, had been sweltering in tenn
peratures running into the ninetes Within
a day it was cold. In some sections of the
north and west the thermometer registered
below freezing.
/ Freakish weather is more frequent in late
years than two three generations ago. A
good many causes for that may be found
One is said to be the condition OF sun spots
Another explanation has been that cold sum
mers come in cycles, dates going back hun
dreds of years being cited for the proof OF
course the unusual situation of sweltering
heat one day and freezing weather the next
over a wide area is due to direct causes. 1t
doesn't just happen that way.
AS to the part that poor old bewildered
nature" plays it may be said that she labors
sometimes under most difficult conditions toI
ford Pinchot, now governor of Pennsylvania
was very active in preaching conservation OF
forests He explained at that time why floods
had become more disastrous than they were
some years ago. This was due to the fact
that the forests had been reduced in size and
in many cases destroyed altogether. That
allowed water from rainfall to finds its level
quickly instead of being held in leash by |
vegetation. This caused streams to become |
swollen and the result was a flood.
Meteoroogists are able to point out why
the destruction of forests and many other
more or less unnatural conditions on the
earth's surface will have a marked effect on
the weather. If a large part of the United |
States suddenly should become plowed
ground the radiation of heat would be much
more rapid than it possibly can be with vast
expanses OF vegetation to keep the tempera
ture under control Vegetation acts just as
do large bodies of water in regulating and
weather conditions. 1t would not
be so hot on the Sahara desert il half its
area had vegetation.
Vast forests in this country have been
made to disappear entirely. Fields have taken
heir places, and these radiate heat rapidly.
On the other hand, a cold wave finding no
assistance as it sweeps over bare territory
,xerts its full force over wide area. Indeed,
latures balance has been badly upset by the
,hanges man has wrought, and it is difficult
or her to adjust herself to the seasons. Let
.lone nature makes her own adjustments IN
way that is both effective and beautiful.
Artificial conditions as created by man are
factors of what might otherwise
,e an almost perfect plan.
