They now how to bring influence to A duy with them is irresistible. If were not, the matter with which they nut pressure upon us Tuesday after lloon could not have been denied. It was the great, throbbing matter ■ • f establishing Woodrow Wilson Col lege in South Georgia for all of Georgia and the South. When that oiatter arises of course we must re -pond, in the words of Woodrow Wil <on, that prophet in the wilderness of war and high priest in the temple of peace, “without stint and without limit.” Thus Georgians must let their souls be moved by the campaign for Woodrow Wilson College. It will be a mark of distinction bringing bright or glory to the name of the Empire State. ❖ «< I* Thus we probably will not return from 4he trip with these gentlemen t., Atlanta for a conference in the Woodrow Wilson College plans in time to tell this week of*tlie match less trii» of Georgia editors to New York as guests of President L. A. Downs of the Ocean Steamship Com nany and the Central of Georgia Rail way, because the paper will be rushed to publication looking towards the holiday Friday, in which all of the * ity’s Sunday-schools , will gather to sing something like “There Is Sun shine in My Boul Today," * * All of which lends us to remark that there, was plenty of sunshine <ut the editors’ trip. To paraphrase Ber ton Braley’s words, it quickly tired of a path that was fixed and tame, and flushed through space with a thousand tails of fire and almost hurst in n flare of flame. But it was n’t hot; far from it; it was merely the spirit of life in kindly old Sol, which whs shared by the hosts of editors and wives and the hosts of hosts everywhere, none of whom ex celled those officers and crew of the good steamship Chattanooga of the Ocean Steamship Company. So quick were the wits of all around every where that one had only to think a wish for some courtesy and "like the swell of some sweet tune" it t ame gently and at once. *2* * Writing here late at night we had 1 bought only to say a word this week , about that wonderful trip which was in' a fairy tale under the magic wands of President Charlie Rountree, Cor responding Secretary Hal Stanley, Secretary Charlie Beans and other officers of the Georgia Press Asso elation, that princely Jack McCart ney who is assistant to the president of the Central railroad and others by whose genius the days and nights be came as the music of a brooklet by moonlight. Me have said more than a word (ah! we usually do). But there are not words enough in all of the fifty languages which President Dodge of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company said his machines had mas tered, to put into print an adequate description of what we always shall remember like an elaborate dream as THAT TRIP However, next week we shall use more of them. * * * One swift word more. Speaking of sunshine and life, New York has her share. But when we got back to Georgia we said, Alabama, here we rest. And when we arrived in Fort Valley, Peach county—the County with a Soul,—vvt felt like singing “Home, Sweet Home,” for we looked and beheld a city just as wide awake as New York and prettier and nearer our size, a city whore sunshine is just as plentiful and a whole lot cheaper, a city where there is some restraint on a man’s speed and pock etbook. And we went home to that ham Mildred Bryant had brought us .tusr before our reluctant departure, engaged in a little meditation and de- cided to admit that while Tom noy had got to the thirteenth floor the McAlpin it took our best t*o get out of the subway and we prove it by the Americus carder's Lovelace Eve; and we cided to let Tom Flournoy bring all the stories but we were going get down to silent work, which is mg to be dad-blamed silent in ing up with Leighton Shepard, Mosley and Louis Brown, Jr., on day which we started out to tutc for a story of our trip. Now we really carry out our intention saying something about the trip week we are sure we’ll land back New York, because if a recently complained about our up too much space with the Blossom Festival, there is no about what the whole community do to escape the new deluge. * + *• P* S.”—The Kiwunis Club made big feature of Tom Flournoy’s teen stories of his recent annual to little old New York. We note they are postponing this week’s ing to avoid hearing our one which we had made up our minds ,ji e hy. However, we were really jug to talk mostly ah*ut the marve lous progress of Fort Valley and our own growing importance as indicated By the fact that an incomparable Wa¬ ter and Light board is replacing the old 50,000 gallon wuter tower with a new one of 200,000 gallons and mov ing it down nearer to our door. Ernest Camp, Louis Morris, Jack Williams, Clarence Levy, 0. W. Passavant, Mil ton Fleetwood, J. J. Howell, Prcaeher Editor Caldwell, that grand old Meth odist “Uncle John” Shannon and oth ers take note. We’re going to get us a tby boat and climp up that tower and do the balance of our going down to seu right here in what Uncle Hen ry McIntosh says is “God’s own coun try.” — — --------—- Central’s Test Pastures. (Savannah Press.) Tit.e Agricultural Department of the Central of Georgia Railway has recently issued a very interesting and somewhat unusual pamphlet dealing with the subject of pastures for cat tie in the territory it serves. The pamphlet is from figures and facts compiled by J. F. Jackson, general agricultural agent of the Central, and it declares that pastures an easily and cheaply made with a car rymg capacity unequalled by, those of regions long famous fw fine pas lures. j The phamphlet is illustrated and it. carries a number of tables showing what has been grown upon Georgia pasture lands. There is a very inter esting resume of what has been a< cojnplislied in the matter of test, pas turns during the past three Years. 1 his . table shows that the number of pastures increased from 44 in 1922 to lit in I. 24 tuid that the grazing unit days of the three years’ test pastures furnished a grand total of 1,290,252 , animal unit days, which represents either the total number of days one row could have to graze to equal the entire amount of grazing thus fur eislied. j There is no guess work about these figures. We are advised that the uwn ei'- s of test pastures were required to keep a record of all stock placed on or t aken off their pastures, and the ’ railroad agricultural agents, in their monthly inspections of the pastu res. cheeked up the record and reported the exact number of head of differ¬ kinds of stock which grazed the pasture each day. These records were reduced to animal unit days’ grazing using Prof. Warren’s table which two yearling cattle, horses, 01 , mules, as one unit; four calves or five hogs, ten pigs, seven sheep goats, and fourteen lambs or kids, a unit, It will be seen therefore that the ■ supplied by these test pas has demonstrated not alone the of grazing cattle in the hut gives concrete evi of what has been done. ■ The intelligently constructed pas is of great cash value to the Lespedeza, Carpet Grass, and I tail is grass are used to make u| pastures.

For instance, the people of ] wouid be anxious to get Georgia pies and peaches and other if there was adequate cold provided for their collection and pres¬ ervation here. Something was said a short while ago about peaches bringing 50 cents a piece in Liverpool. Think of it! And yet the growers of fruit in Georgia, both of peaches in Middle Georgia a|ld of apploa in No rth Georgia, lose much each year because of inade¬ quate markets. j The idea of this former citfaen of Savannahi who has made ., 6peciaUy ()f CX(tmininj? tht . fruit markets in 1 Aaierica and abroad> is that if there ’ vvery a state port where Georgia fruit could be collected and iced and kept uninjured until it would be profitably inU .„ iK , nUv markctedt the fruit ' KroWt . rs in Georfria would , (l . im _ mensely benefited.

CARTER DELCO ELECTRICALLY OPERATED ICE BOX - Dayton, Ohio. — The Delco-Light Company, subsidiary of General Mo tors, is re-arranging part of its plant to double the output of F’rigid aire, the electrically operated ice box. This has been made necessary by the announcement of new low-priced models for homes and apartments and the ice cream cabinet designed for soda fountains and retail dis tributors of ice cream. Sales of this ice cream cabinet are made principal¬ ly to large manufacturers who in turn place the cabinets with retailers of ice cream. There are now fifteen models in the complete Frigidaire line, ranging in price from $190, to $750. I Sales of Frigidaire for the first three months of this year, and orders on hand upon which the increased volume is based, indicates the sale of over 50,000 Frigidaires this year. In 1924 sales were 21,000 units, i compared with 5,000 in 19 and 2,- 200 in 1922. This business by Delco-Light does not include its sales of electric light and power plants, water pumps and washing machines. l ! | FIRST CLASS I’ARCEL POST j Atlanta, Ga.

At the beginning of the Eighth cen¬ tury a dearth, wftlch extended to Ire ! land, drove men to cannibalism. It was not until the reign of Aethel ! red the Unready, however, that "such a famine prevailed as no man can re member," from 1005 to 1010. Those chroniclers who were wont to see bad conditions at their worst, says the National Geographic Magazine, de dared that half the population of the ! larger island perished. But It must tie remembered that : much of the mortality* 0 f this period WHK by the wars between Aethelred and Sweyn the Dane, the latter being forced Jiy the famine to retire front England for a time. Naturally, tire era following the ad vent of William the Conqueror was one of widespread starvation and pes tllence among the English peasantry. During the last 30 years of the Eleventh century, nine were years of dire distress. So great was the dearth In 1069 that the peasants of the north, unable 1 longer to secure dogs and horses to appease their hunger, sold themselves Into slavery In order to be fed by their masters. All the land between Durham and York lay waste, without, inhabitants | or people to till the soil for nine years, says Beverly, and another writer | accuses the destitute of cannibalism. . (( Dead Shots” Devoted Much Time to Practice 1 hod a man with me In Texas and New Mexico—surveying for Santa Fe who knew a thing or two about drawing a gun, Louis Milllkin writes In Adventure Magazine. I have seen him put his bauds on bis head, have another man throw up a can, draw, hit It with both right and left gun and return guns to scabbard before It bad reached the top of the throw about 15 to 20 feet (or at least before it had stopped going up from the hits). In my estimation at that time he was a marvel with a six-gun and, though 1 have seen others, I never saw his equal. His name was Jack Mellish. The reason why gunmen of the “Wild Days" were such experts at the draw and shot, even with the old Frontier Colt, was simply that they spent as much If not more time In practicing the draw and shot as some of our eminent musician* spend prac ticing their art.
