THE MOTHERS OP MEN.
By leaqtU Miller.
Hie bravest battle that ever
wsh foughtl
Shall I tell you where and
whenT
Oa the maps of the world you
will -find it not—
Tia fought by the mothers
of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle
shot,
With sword or nobler pen!
Nay, not with eloquent words
or thought
Prom mouths of wonderful
mon,
Hut deep in the wullod-up
womun’s heart—
Of woman that would not
yield,
But bravely, silently, bore her
part—
Lo, there is that battlefield!
No marshalling troop, ao bi
vouac song,
No banner to gleam and
wave;
But, oh I their battles, they
last
From babyhood to the
grove.
Yet faithful still as a bridge
of stars,
She fighta in her walled-up
town—
Fights on and on in endless
wars,
Then, silent, unseen, goes
down.
Ok, ye with banners and bat
tle shot,
And soldiers to about and
praise,
I tell you the kinkiest victor
ies fought
Were fought in tkoae sllewt
ways.
Ok, spotless woman in a world
of shame,
With splendid and silent
scorn
Go back to God as white as
you come—-
The kingliest warrior born!
We Should Maintain Neutrality
Sympathy seems to be almost entirely with the allies in the
European War. This, however, 'is not in the least due to racial dip-
like of the Germans as a people, On all sides admiration is ex
pressed for the wonderful enterprise which this nation has display
ed during the last half century, With an area about the size of
Texas, they have a p.pulatibn of; about 66,000,000, or two-thirds
that of the United States, and their, contributions <*> the arts and
sciences and growth in coalmen;* have been such as to excite the
admiration of all unbiased : persona of, other nations.
No it m not against th«S German* people that *uiis practically
unanimous adverse sentiment is directed, but instead to the danger
ous ambitions animating their leaders. It is believed that if the
German arms triumph in the ore sent conflict it will Be but *6 qiife-
tion of time when the United States will be embroiled with, the na
tion. - r:;» . ; ' " '• / ;* ’ ’ ' ,
At the same time it is n^t well to count too strongly jupqn the
friendship pf at least of the other nations on the opposing side.
Japan with its cooped up millionjOs ,i* moved ,Joy an ambition to
spread its empire in the ; Paci lie' • > and would like «spec- '
tally to have our island posessions. It is entirety possible that this
may be the ulterior purpose which moved the little yellow men to
take a hand rfi the big affair, th ereby placing England under an ob
ligation. As for England itself, we are hot wholly prepared to be
lieve in her disinterested friendship under all circumstances. In
the first place, let us not forget that this country was wrested
from GfOat Britain. Aside from the material losses, the winning
<of independence of thd American colonies was a great blow to Eng
land’s pride. Furthermore, shou Id we succeed in forging ahead and
becoming the leading world power, as we are now hoping to do, this
will be another blow to England’s pride. Her enmity toward Ger
many is largely due to the strides which that country has made. It
is nothing more or less than jealousy of Germany’s spreading'
commerce throughout the world and rapid development toward u
sea power which threatened Eng land’s dominance.
So, on the whole, it is perhaps just as well that we refrain from
undue sympathy in either direction.
MUST PLANT WHEAT LATE
TO AVOID SERIOUS DA
\Gl.
If Planted Earlier Than October 20, The Crop Will
jured By The Hessian Fly.
Atlanta. Ga.—riant your wheat late,
not earlier than Oct. 20, if you would
avoid serious damage - to the crop
from the Hessian fly, is the advice giv
en Georgia farmers by the State De
partment of Entomology.
Wheat planting In Georgia will be
more extensive and gen eng than ever
before, according to advices coining to
the department. Winter yrbpat should
be planted late, says State Hntomoto-
gtst E. Lee Worgum. It should be
planted from October 20 to 80; ear
ner plantings will subject the crop to
serious Injury from this peat.
in addition to late planting the
board urges also In order to avoid the
Hemlan fly, which is found all over
the state, that the stubble of infested
wheat fields should be burned; that all
volunteer wheat should be plowed
under not later than November 1;
that rotation of crops be practiced,
and that good seed should be planted
on land well prepared and properly
fertilized. The same rules apply, of
icourse, to rye and barley ns well as
r heat, as they are similar plants.
The foregoing are the general rules
to he followed In fighting the ravages
of the Hessian fly, a small mosquito-
like Insect supposed to have been
brought to tills country by Hessian sol
dters In 1779. It has spread all over
tho country. Contrary to the general
impression, cold weather and heavy
frost do not always kill them. Some
times they disappear after froHt, but
they have frequently been seen flyli.
In wheat fields several days after frost.
The late planting and not the frost la
the real preventative. ’
There are two broods of the lleeslan
fly in Georgia. The spring brood
emerges between Feb. 21 and March
Z3, and the fail brood between Sex*.
28 and Oct. 30. Rkcpeitmenta In Otoor-
gta hgve shown- that where wheat was
planted even as late as Oct. 21, some
of It waa Infested. The only plan/Unaa
In these experiments which showed
practically no In testation at all, were
mad* after October S2L
The first effect of the larvae at the
Heeaian fly, noticed In the fad, about
Dec. 1 or shortly afterward, is
the Infested plants are darter green.
The leaves are thicker and aland ap
stralghter than on the healthy plant.
Later In the spring the plant tuftis yel
low and dlos. The larvae of the spring
brood are generally found under the
culms at the first or second Joint. The
effect Is to weaken the straws, caus
ing many of them to break and fall
over so they cannot be caught by the
binder. It has been found that tho
yield from Infested straws is usually
about ono-tblrd less than from healthy
ones.
All this crop dnmago can he avoided.
In large measure by late planting of
wheat, rye and barley, and by follow
ing carefully the suggestions given by
the entomological department for elim
inating this pest from the fields.
Mr. Beall Returns
to LaGrange
Mr. Charles Beall, who has for the
past few months been manager of a
lnrge dairy at Cornelia, has returned
to 1 (grange to make his home here.
He has many friends in this city who
are glad to have him back again.
Mr. Benll has accepted a position
as book-keeper for Troup Garage,
and will no doubt be a valuable ad
dition to this enterprising firm.
We are more than ever convinced
of the good judgement of those who
left Europe and settled in this coun
try.
Just aa we were congratulating
ourselves that there would be no fool,
French fashions this season, the La
dies Home Journal predicts a revival
of pantalettes. Who started this
thing, anyhow?
“Plenty of water by January first,"
promise the engineers on the new wa
terworks system. It will be too cold
to use it then.
A war tax of two cents per gallon
ia to be levied on gasolene. Isn’t it
a pity they did not make it about a
dollar a gallon on gasolene for joy
riding and assess no duty on that
which is used in a sensible way?
A bibulous friend has inquired
whether the price of booze will be
lowered on account of the hard times.
No, it will cost more, as there will
be a war tax on it But that will
not prevent millions of misguided
men from having it.
To put an old phrase to good use
once more, the Wilson administration
is best judged by the enemies it has
made.
Runaway
Wednesday
Mr. E. 0. Wright and Mr. Joe
Hearn narrowly escaped serious in
juries in a run-away accident Wed
nesday, which occurred on Greenville
street at the foot of Greenville hill.
Mr. Wright had just purchased a
new Texas pony and accompanied by
Mr. Hearn and a negro started out
on his first trip with the animal. The
horse began to run just at the rail
road crossing and all three of the oc
cupants were thrown out by tne time
that he reached the residence of
Chief Reid. It seems that the pony
was in for a good run and it is stated
that he Was stopped at Whitefield
Crossing after he had broken loose
from the buggy.
Besides many cuts, bruises and
sprains the occupants escaped with
out any serious injuries. Much
damage was done to the buggy. ; v;

MRS. J. M. MARKBTT A FAMILY.
Mrs. Geo. E. Dallis and little grand

decided to offer the following
products for sale:
160 bushels of high grade
Texas variety seed oats, cut
and dried in dry weather.
Every one of them should be
sown; but they will make fine
feed if anyone wishes to use them
this way.
Also a fine lot of pea-vine hay.

20 bushels of extra fine choice

Also have on my farm some

will fill orders for any amount
from one to five bushels, as long
as they last, to be shipped from

splendid results when canned
just like peaches, and thus the
use of sugar is not necessary. I
am going to Auburn Monday and
all orders received before I go
will be filled early next week.
Or orders left at my bouse will
be attended to as long as the
pears last.
