THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1919
The opponents of President \\ ilsou s policies will now
have an excellent chance to win the solid support of the
Italian voters who are citizens of our country.
If we expect to keep our country on the victory basis
it will be necessary for everybody to support the victory
loan by subscribing for all of the bonds that they can.
An English concern announces it will build automo
biles to retail for $300.00. Mr. Ford also promises cars at
cheaper prices, and in a few years everybody will have
one, the same as bicycles were twenty years ago.
The high prices that have prevailed for the past four
years do not show much disposition to get down from
the perch and the prediction is made that this condition
will continue l*r an indefinite period.
Whether Italy is right or wrong in the stand which
has been taken for the possession of Finnic, we must ad
mire the manner in which the statesmen and people of
that country sthand for what they believe is right. —^
Secretary Carter Glass of Virginia is a man of small
size, but large ideas. His bill for the establishment of the
regional banks, introduced when he was a member of con
gress, stamps him as one of the statesmen of this period.
Thomas county has joined the ranks <>f good roads ad
vocated by voting for an issue of bonds with which to
improve the public highways. Wherever the people arc
given a chance to voice their sentiments in favor of
good roads they invariably vote in the affirmative.
A league of nations for the purpose of preventing de
structive wars should have tin- enthusiastic support of the
people everywhere, but while the sentiments appear to fa
vor such an agreement, there is an underlying opposition
to its eonsummation.
Judging from the records of tin* various Liberty Loan
Drives launched in this country, our people are becoming
more thrifty. This is one good feature that can be laid
to the war. Hut many of us would haVe preferred to con
tunic as spendthrifts than to have war.
Savannah anticipates record breaking crowds during
the coming summer season, us transportation on railroads
was greatly curtailed during last summer. This summer,
however, throngs will visit the old seaport town for a
dip in the surf and see what will be ‘‘doing” at Tybee.
Tift county has been awarded the coastal plain ex
periment station, which was authorized by the last sos
sion of the legislature. Many other sections of the state
offered flattering inducements for the station, but Tifl
had more to offer.
Italy is apparently sorry that the United States has
a voice in the settlement f the peace problems. But if
Uncle Sam had kept away from the field of battle the prob
abilities are Italy, as well as the other Allies, would have
been bound hand and foot by Germany.
In the production of various agricultural crops Geor
gia has made considerable progress within the past four
years, and the high prices received has put more money in
to circulation than ever before. There is evidence of pros
perity in all sections of the state, and business of all kinds
is increasing in volume.
The Fulton grand jury has recommended that applb-a*
tions for m.-irlii-i-n.es lie published for live ilays be
fore licenses may be granted. If the legislature, which is
soon to assemble, will enact a law tn this effect there will
be fewer unhappv marriages, and much less work for the
divorce mills of the courts.
Gov. Dorsey has declined to respond to the petition to
institute proceedings through the courts to enjoin the tele
phone companies from increasing rates, as the points in
question have already been raised and the supremo court
is expleted to render a decision at the earliest possible mo
ment, which will probably be this week.
President Wilson is setting the style for Parisians in
stead of Parisians setting the style for him. Our president
i always a democrat, wherever lie might happen to be, and
has become to I*, known as a “precedent breaker.” His
latest stir is the carrying of a cane on his daily walks and
wearing of a high top silk hat.
The diabolical attempt of the N'ew York anarchist to
do personal injury t• * ex Senator T. "W. Hardwick by send
ing to him a bomb through 111*• mails, is a mystery which
can not be fathomed. As Mr. Hardwick is no longer ill
public life, and therefore has no vote upon questions that
com • before congress, tin- object of the sender of the
deadly bomb can not even be conjectured.
Fulton county has a few miles of cement roads which
are as firm as rock and smooth as pavement. It is claimed
that there is practically no wearing out when properly con
structed, as there arc some ••emciit roads in Ohio that have
been used for the past quarter of a century which are as
good today as they were when eoni] leted. The cost is high
but when built they are permanent, which can not be said
of our sand and clay roads.
Since Uncle Sun can no longer < xjteet to gather reve
nue from dealers in whiskey and beer a tax of one rent is
being imposed upon soft drinks of all kinds. Every time
you bend your elbow to quench your thirst, you are requir
ed to pay your share of the new tax. If every section of
the United States will acquire the Uoca-Uola habit like the
people of this section, Uncle Sam will begin to build sky
scrapers like Asa Gaudier.
The price of meat has soared so high that many peo
ple with moderate incomes have found* it necessary to
curtail the consumption or to use substitutes. But the
substitutes are also high, and this makes the cost of liv
ing greater today for the masses of our people than
at any period in our history. Swift & Gompanv, the
meat packers, state that all the world needs meat, and
only a small part of the world is raising live stock. Every
family that can do so should raise a jug.
It is hard to understand what can be the motives of
the red anarchists who attempted to commit murders in
various parts of the United States by sending bombs thru
the mails. If the miscreants had accomplished their ob
ject they would not have been benefited in any manner
whatever. It is incomprehensible that human beings should
resort to such methods in order to get revenge for a fan
cied wrong, and it is a pity that they should have the
least chance to escape punishment for their dastardly acts.
A DEPLORABLE CONDITION
We have in our little city three niee comfortable
churches, namely Methodist, Baptist and Christian, and all
of them are within one hundred and fifty yards of the pub
lic square. We have as pastors of these churches, men
that are giving their entire time, attention, thought and
brain to the up-building of this community, working with
their every energy to bring to a higher and nobler standard
of living the people of the eitv, yet, those men are forced
Sunday after Sunday to work and preach to congregations
not large enough to fill more than one third of their seat
ing capacity, and two-thirds of those they do preach to
are women and children. The writer has observed the con
gregations at all of the churches for the last four months
and on many occasions has counted the number present.
These observations disclose the fact that less than two I
hundred people in Wrightsville attend church and Sunday
School out of a total population of over eleven hundred
whites. More than nine hundred white men, women and
children in our city do not attend church or Sunday School.
These same people pride themselves on being good citi
zens, interested in keeping the moral standard of our pride
on a high plane. They want their cildren to grow up to be
manly men and womanly women, and yet by their own in
difference to the' elevating, edifying and ennobling influ
ences and institutions of their community they are influenc
ing their own children to their injury and the detriment of
society. ,
Less than forty fathers in our town are church goers
and the others can usually Vie found on the street corners
during- Sunday School and preaching hours. Why this con
dition prevails we don’t know, unless they have never had
the proper conception of good citizenship; not to mention
parenthood.
This is not a sermon or a sermonett, it is an indictment
against tin- men ot our town made with high purpose and
a good motive and with the kindest feeling, charging and
accusing them of falling short of good citizenship.
Any man that does not give some of his time, his sym
pathy ami support to the moral and religious influences and
institutions of his community is not a good citiztni in the
highest and truest sense.
\\ c do not like to ’’knock,” we prefer to ’’boost,”
but it seems to ns something must be done to make our men
alive to their duty, to the city, themselves, their families
and their God.
Wc say again conditions are deplorable in Wrightsville.
Meet us at church next Sunday and you will feel better
and so will we.
What sav you?
FIGHTING TERRORISM WITH FOOD.
It would certainly be both wiser and cheaper to fight
the Russian Bolshevists with food than with machine guns.
To send food to Russia, allowing te present rulers to con
trol its distribution, would increase their power. But to
Heiid food there to be distributed under the direction of
Nansen, and only on condition that the Bolsheviks stop
fighting, would weaken them greatly.
The New \ ork World says:
Feeding Bolshevism in Russia instead of fighting" it is
causing worriment and wrath on the part of people in
France, Great Britain and the United States who evident
ly have not taken the trouble to inform themselves as to
the terms on which the proposed benevolence is to be ex
tended.
As plainly notified by President Wilson and Premiers
Lloyd George, (’lemenceau and Orlando, Dr. Nansen’s neu
tral commission is to have no supplies for distribution in
Russia until hostilities on the part of its government shall
have ceased and there lias been a complete abandonment
of the transfer of troops and military material of all sorts
to and within Russian territory.
It is true that in all this the Associated Western pow
ers do not deny to the Russians the right to choose their
own form of govenrment. They do not object even to the
Soviet form of government. But they do insist that what
ever form of government Russia may have, it must dis
continue hostilities against the nations that are ready to
deliver it from famine and pestilence, and this necessarily
invoices a cessation of the slaughter and oppression which
Bolshevism has used to maintain its terrorism at home.
Unless Anarchy surrenders on these condittions it will
receive no help.
DEPEND UPON OURSELVES.
Mr. Editor: The greatest inventor that the world has
produced during the centuries that have passed sacs that
success depends upon two per cent inspiration, and ninety
right per cent perspiration, which is a crude but neverthe
l”ss pkini statement of the underlying principle of acl.icve-
In ether words, if we expect to make headway in
" f , ;'" l( ' av °r. mst dig for it with unrelenting
diligence and never failing perseverance.
Luther Burbank, who has acquired fame as he has de
veloped, perfected and improved fruits and flowers, says
that the use we make of our possibilities depends almost
solely upon ourselves.
Tlic greatest need of the times is a more thorough
and complete education of the rising generation so that
our children may have a broader and bigger conception of
the duties that they must assume as they take up the bur
dens of this life, and in order to accomplish this much-de
sired result wc must begin to depend upon ourselves for
the improvement of our public schools. The annual appro
priation made by the state for the support of the schools
look like a big sum, but divided among the children of
school age the part for each child becomes a verv insig
nificant sum. Our people have become too much accus
tomed to depend upon the state and not upon their indi
vidual efforts for the education of our children.
At each session of the legislature strong efforts un
made to increase the sum to be appropriated for schools
only to be confronted by an empty treasury, necessitating
the borrowing of money, at great expense to the fund, for
carrying on the work of our public schools. Many people
who arc spending hundreds of dollars for the purchase and
upkeep of automobiles, should realize that a more thor
ough cdueatii their children is of vaster importance,
arid in order to accomplish this purpose we must depend
more upon ourselves, and not entirely upon file stale. W.
must guide the lives of our children into a newer and high
er development, and this can only lie accomplished by tno
improvement of our school facilities. We need ’more
money for sustaining the public schools, and in order to
obtain it wc must consent for a small increase in the tax
rati.
le t us all depend more upon our individual efforts by
increasing our taxes just a tittle more, and n tz c insider
it the sole duty of the state to provide for the cduca-
oar children.
The annual meeting of the school officials of Georgia
was held in Macon the past week, and was largely attended.
Some of the most prominent educators and a number ol
eminent men who have been identified with educational
interests, were presnt, and th subjects dis-ussed were very
beneficial, as new ideas were gained, and there was per
baps greater enthusiasm manifested than at any previous
meeting. It is hoped that the suggestions made by State
Superintendent Brittain for the betterment of the sehooolf
will meet with the support of the entire state.
When a fellow goes from small towns and the rural
sertion to the large city and becomes a street car con
ductor or policeman you never read glowing descriptions
of him and his city career; but when he becomes a
banker or capitalist, his upraises arr sung forever. Where
one succeeds, one hundred don’t get anywhere, but the ex
ceptional cases are always played up to a fare-ye-well;
and this very thing has wrecked the career of more young
r urn lists than any other that could be mentioned. There’s
more money on the farm for the average young man than
he can make in any other line. But the city bait looks
shiny; the colorful stories make an appeal, and hundrods
oro attracted to the bright lights only to get a street car
job at & wage that will not pay for a good living. Did
you ever think of how often the exception is used to prove
the rule?—Commerce News.

MUCH WORK FOR
OUR TEACHERS
(Continued from page 1)
every county of Georgia; a school that
shall be absolutely free! The propo
sition was well received. At this time
he says there are 64 counties in Geor
gia that have no high school at all.
Ho thought that every boy and every
girl in Georgia who desires an educa
tion/ should at least have an oppor
tunity to attend a free high school.
Supt. Daniel of Burke county gave
the total number of school children at
| 10.000. of which only 1,800 are white
and 8,200 negroes. He deplored the
fact that higher education does not re
ceive proper consideration in his coun
ty.
An excellent and highly cultured la
dy, Mrs. Wiggs, but not she of the
“Cabbage Patch” as she avowed, de
livered a beautiful address on the sub
ject: “The Aims of the Parent Teach
ers' Association,” and Kindred Work,
i The need for such an association must
be apparent to all, and it is small won
der that Mrs. Wiggs received such
careful attention and cordial endorse
ment.
Polotics was not much in evidence at
this convention, but when Speaker of
Politics was not much in evidence at
tliis convention, but when speaker of
the house John N. Holder delivered an
address on agriculture, and its relation
to our boys and girls, one could readily
see in the attitude of his audience how
closely he stood to the people.
When hereferred to the need of more
money for education in Georgia and to
the vote of the house, which lacked on
ly one vote of. being a tie, in which
ease HE WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR
TAXATION, thus enabling the bill to
jiass, the audience went wild with ap
proval.
Tt was very evidence that he stood
dose to the people generally while quite
a good many were outspoken in their
preference for him for governor.
Much more might be written about
this very important convention, but
fear your readers grow weary.
But let us not forget that the world
is looking on Georgia today as a lag
gard in the cause of education, and
we must establish better schools and
obliterate illiteracy before the 1920
census. THOS. J. DAVIS.
“ A TOTAL WRECK”
SAYS TENNESSEAN
Who Says He Now Feels Fine, Slnoe Taking
Zlron Iron Tonic.
David Jones, of Forbns, Tenn.,
writes: ‘‘l got a bottle of Ziron and
will say that I never had anything to
come in so good a time as 1 was think
ing of giving up, I was so weak. I
cannot tell you jiow bad 1 felt. Had
Btomaoh trouble, loss of appetite,
couldn’t sleep, in fact was a total
wreck all over, as I am subject to weak
spells in the Spring of the year. After
using Ziron will say I now feel fine
and can do a fine days work. 1 think
you have a good medicine, and I can
surely recommend It to any one Who
needs a tonic”.
Medical authorities and text books
agree that iron Is needed to keep the
system in good condition. Investiga
tion shows that pale, weak, tired peo
ple generally lack the necessary a
mount of iron In their blood. The
strength that iron gives may be ob
tained by taking Ziron Iron Tonic.

The Flow of Meat
Two-thirds of the live stock in the
United States has to be raised in
the West.
One-half of the consumers of meat
live in the East.
In other words, most of the live
stock is one or two thousand miles
distant from most of the people who
need it in the form of food.
Fifty years ago, when live stock was
raised close to every consuming cen
ter, the country butcher could handle
the job after a fashion.
But the job got too big.
Now millions of animals have to be
moved hundreds of miles to millions of
people. Somewhere on the way they
have to be turned into meat.
The packers solved the problem.
They set up plants where the “live
haul” and the “meat haul” were in
the right balance. They built up
distributing systems—refrigerator cars,
refrigerating plants, branch houses.
They saved time, money and meat
everywhere. The stockraiser bene
fited in better markets and higher
prices; the consumer, in better meat
and lower prices.
As the country grew, the packers
had to grow, or break down. Because
of its present size and efficiency,
Swift & Company is able to perform
its part in this service at a fraction of
a cent per pound profit.
