BITS OF LOUISVILLE.
• Why be bothered with a church bell?
r Vihy, so we may "be governed by the ringing
of the bell,” of course. And “governed” is
a food term, too for the autocrat who, sets
th? hour of our various preaching services
is none other than the janitor. Usually he
is faithful and strives to ring in accord with
the temperamental town clock, but let the
jaintor forget ancf ring at the wrong time
and the whole church is upset. A few weeks
back church for the evening was announced
at the morning services for eight. That night
the bell rang at seven, consequently the
church goers were divided into the two
groups, one unquestionably following the
janitors lead, and those who came at the
appointed hour. The minister who desires to
be all things to all men opened services at
seven forty-five.
A few fall flowers yet beautify the yards
and red salvia borders the dying beds. Could
we call the salvia the “last rows” of sum
mer?
Greater love hath no man than for his an
cient horseless carriage. How many times
have you passed a group of men and over
heard this remark—" That’s nothing. Now,
you take my old car, even yet she can—”
f The need that men become as little chil
dren was never so vividly brought home to
use as on lust Sunday afternoon. A speed
ing ca* late Saturday afternoon ran down a
mule and buggy, tearing up the buggy and
breaking the mule’s leg. Late Sunday after
noon the helpless animal was still standing
at the scene of the wreck holding up the
mangled leg, a little pool of blood growing
with each hour. The road was hot and dusty
with not a spot of shade in reach. Dozens
of cars filled with men and women drove out
to the scene of the wreck. Dozens drove on
with a glance of sympathy for the suffering
mule. At dusk one little boy hauled down
the road, bending under the heavy weight,
several buckets of cool water which the mule
drank greedily. When Ihe child was ques
: tioned as to what the mule had had to eat
he said that he had given him whatever he
I could find. The mule had received a diet of
i oak leaves, but the little boy had done what
he could. Perhaps the dumb brute under
i stood that, when the gentle, little brown
i hand stroked him on the nose. Perhaps he
i understood that when his filming, pain filled
i eyes looked into the sympathetic brown ones
of little Charlie.
Can it be true that little hands lose'their
: tenderness as they grow bigger, and eyes i
lose their soft sympathy as they grow older
. and wiser?
e Thank God for our little children.
At noon on Tuesday the wounded mule j
was standing in the same spot. Does this
i throw a favorable light on our town— or
iCounty? Isn't there a law somewhere that
a would prevent such needless cruelty?
IS A GOOD ROAD ALWAYS AN
ADYANTAGE?
; Should we set life against speed, safety
.against lost time or peace of mind against!
la slow crawl over a rough road we would ;
■say emphatically that a good road is a lia-S
ibility to a community instead of the asset!
that the good people are taxed to support.
The splendid road under construction be-j
tween Louisville and Wrens is a pleasure 1
only to the brave heart and a joy only to
those who hold their lives lightly. It seems;
‘that a good road puts a desire for speed in j
’the human heart that a fool can not resist j
and as there is a dash of the fool in the!
; wisest we suggest that those not ready to
'shuffle off this mortal coil when faring forth j
to take the air, mumble something about
preferring an easterly direction and turn i
■ friend car towards a rougher road.
i The good driver having all confidence in !
■ himself and car will do well to remember
the old saying that tis the unexpected that!
,happens. One can not reckon on the other
jfool who bowls along so cheerily at night
j without lights—or for that other kind of
.fool who thinks it smart to swerve in sud
denly and monopolize all the road. And in
’naming the dangm-s of the modern age one
.must not forget that most deadly of all mix
-1 ures—gasoline and alcohol. When bootleg-!
■ters are plying their trade no life is safe on
.he public highway. No clearer case of mur
-1 ler can be found than that of a man who
under the influence of alcohol wrecks a car
.tnd kills a friend. When the courts stop re-;
leasing such men with a light fine this dan- 1
ejer will be overcome but until that time it
s well for the motorist to remember that
he other fellow in the approaching car may
>e at all himself and give him a big portiox
>f the road. For the speed fiend we might
Io well to appropriate funds for such signs
m all good roads: "A Good Driver Lost His
hfe Here,” and a little further on “This 1
darks the Spot Where a Man Killed His
Vife and Child.”
CRIMES OF WOMEN TOO EASILY
CONDONED
Women as murderers of husband or of
nen who are alleged to have proved recreant
o promises of marriage, so as slayers of
■ther women of whom they are insanely
ealous are playing a conspicuous part in ;
he news of the day and altogether a rather
iscreditable part. Even if husbands prove
jotharios or are grossly indifferent to their
ows, this does not justify a woman in com- 1
flitting an even worse and more despicable
rime. So long as woman has an equal moral
esponsibility with men, she should expect
o be held to the same law. She may not
Tinge and hide the mere fact of sex and
expect clemency or leniency merely because
she is a woman. She is also a citizen, a
voter, a wage-earner, and may not seek to
set herself on an immunity pedestal and
claim sex weakness as a justification for
crime.
It is now indicated that the wife of the
man slain in the double tragedy near New
Brunswick, N. J., recently and which has
focussed the attention of criminologists and
of the public generally was a party to the
dual killing, if not the actual slayer of her
husband. While a mushy sort of public sen
timent might condone her participation in
the slaying of a weak and erring man, the
killing cannot properly be justified or con
doned.
The weakness which would seek such ven
geance and take human life in the process
is neither creditable nor admirable, any
more than would be the weakness of a man
who yielded to the vengeful impulse to slay a
woman who had betrayed his trust. One
may live an upright and exemplary life, de
spite such a shock as the proved or admitted
infidelity of one’s mate, and will deserve all
the more the sympathy and the admiration
of the masses.
When we begin to realize that one crime
does not condone or excuse another and a
worse crime, we shall begin to be less lenient
to the criminal who seeks salve and solace in
a vengeful crime even worse than that which
is alleged to have provoked it. Men must be
men and women must be women—strong,
| clean and self-controlled under great provo
cation, if they would command not only the
! sympathy, but the admiration and respect
; of their fellows.—Danville, Va., Register.
A LOST ART.
; A contemporary suggests that the inven
jtion of the telephone and now the radio ren
der the need of letter writing unnecessary.
: If this be true the fact that one may pur
chase canned beans makes a garden unnec
| essary, or that since we have movies we do
j not need public libraries. A good letter is
i the most delicious—we mean that very
| thing—form of literature, and the most in
j timate. In no other way does a person re
veal himself to much as in a letter to a
| friend. Style has very little to do with it,
j subject matter only a little more and educa
j tion nothing at all. Quite the most charm
ing letter seen lately was written by a per
son with little schooling. This letter was
found by Mrs. De Morgan many years ago.
We copy it here:
“My dearest Marey,—i be very well
and appey to inform you that I be very
well at present and I hope you be the
same dear Mareyi be verry sorry to hear
how as you don’t like your quarters as
i chant be able to look on your dear face
so of fen as I have dearest Marey pure
and holy meek and loly lovely Rose of
Sharon. Dear Marey, dear Marey i hant

“Dearest Marey i shall not be appy

“William Taylor.”
United Stales Flags.
lo call a halt on a .steadily increasing number of
freak varieties of American flags and to attempt
the standardization of flags, the Division of Simpli
fied 1 ractice of the Department of Commerce held a j
meeting in Washington, the other day, of represent- i
atives of the Army, Navy, Association of Flag j
Manufacturers of the United States, the Chamber of !
Commerce of the United States, and others. At this I
meeting steps were taken to develop general use of !
recognized national standards of size. One manu- 1
facturer alone is now producing flags of SS different
sizes, in 17 qualities, and from 1 to 9 styles in each
quality, although an Executive Order of President
\\ ilson designates only 12 sizes uniform in charac
teristics for governmental use.
President Taft issued an Executive Order on June
-P establishing 12 standard sizes. This order
was superseded by an Executive Order of President
Wilson, dated May 29, 1916, somewhat altering these
standards, Ihe industry has developed innumerable
standards almost entirely different from those estab
lished by Presidents Taft and Wilson.
To set up recognized dimensions as national stand
ards, the Association of Flag Manufacturers was
asked to make a survey, and to prepare a report in
dicating 10 widths, and a uniform proportion of
widths to lengths, which will best represent the
greatest economy in the manufacture and supply of
the largest prevailing needs. This report is to have
the consideration of the government departments
and the Fine Arts Commission, possibly with a view
to legislation setting up authorized standards.
This thing of “picketing” the President of the
United States, for any purpose, must be broken up
-—absolutely and promptly.
The Filipinos want a republic. But we still tell
them that when they are capable of self-govern
ment, self-government will be accorded them.
THE NEWS AND FARMER. LOUISVILLE. GEORGIA, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 2, 1922.
| THE SCHOOL COLUMN
((The students of Louisville Acad
emy will furnish the News and
Farmer each week with material for
this column. We believe that it will
prove the most entertaining and
popular column in the paper.—Edi
tor's Note.)
Buttons, buttons, everywhere, or
at least it must have that
way to those on the streets and to
those in their homes, Thursday af
| ternoon, for when nearly all the
| school children arc canvassing the
town, there is hardly a way of es
cape.
Nearly every man von would meet
had on a little, round, white but
ton, with these words on it, “For
\ our school library,” and a great
1 number of our good people were
the possessors of more than one
i button.
The Parent-Teachers' Association
have seen how many empty book
shelves we have in our library and
they arc undertaking to try to fill
| some of these vacancies with good
books, which arc much needed.
The Seniors and Sophomores vs.
the .Juniors and Freshmen: Each
were trying to outdo the other in
selling buttons, for the side selling
the smallest amount of them, must
entertain the others, there was
cpiite a bit of rivalry between hte
students.
Nearly everyone of the two hun
dred buttons were sold. A child
can get something out of people
that a grown person cannot. For
at the first shake of the head, a
grown person would hurry away—
but a child —they can beg until you
are blue in the face and they can
out argue a lawyer. There is no
I getting around them.
But, nevertheless, everybody was
j mighty good about buying our but
| tons, and when we are reading
I those nice, new books, we’ll thank
i those who were clever enough to
get up the contest-
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Not always are people portrayed
as they really arc, as the follow
ing will show:
Sam Clark Most dignified Senior.
.lessika Wright Tiniest.
Kenneth Yearns Very sarcastic.
Betty Clark- Loudest.
Hyman Kstroff— Quietest and most
resreved.
I'ranees Phillips—Most athletic.
Worth Jones Girls* pet.
Clyde Thomas Very witty.
Mary Eddie MeNeclv -Most bril
liant in high school.
Effie Gene Brown—Most brilliant
mathematician.
Tommy Wasden Most musical.
Mildred Phillips—Most childish.
Margaret Rowe- Quite studious.
William Ramsey- - Largest.
Jessie Smith—Prettiest blonde.
Willie Claire May—“ Her sweet
green eyes.”
Susie Dawson—Her baby blue
eyes and golden locks are the joy
of all the hoys.
Clifford Perkins—Most notorious
among tile girls.
Norman Ramsey—His winning
ways.
Mary Ramsey—Her beauty.
Clifford Clark—Rest behavior and
solemn looks in civics class.
Rlanchc Cheatham—Most dainty
and petite.
Marguerite Sinquefield—Only girl
in high school with long golden
curls.
Sanford S. —Greatest trial to the
superintendent.
Newman Robinson—Greatest heart
breaker.
Anyone passing by the Ford place j
j about 3:39 last Friday afternoon I
would not have smelled the aromatic j
I spirit of lords but the odoriferous
odor of oysters, for the library com-j
j mil tee of the I’. T. A. gave an oys
ter supper there from 6 until 10
I o’clock (I mean it was to last that
i long- but—the oysters gave out).
And do you know? They could
have sold much more.
Seven of the teachers and several
I other young ladies of the town
were seen in new roles—that oil
waitresses. 1 know that young wo
man who seemed to he everywhere
at once was a very tired one when
the evening was over. But all that
work was not for nothing for quite '
a tidy sum was made. Soon our li
brary will be licnclitted by it.
Future Destinies of the Seniors and
The Faculty of ’22-’23.
We see clearly the one member
of our class, Mary Eddie McNeely,
settled down as the “old woman in
the shoe, who had so many chillen* ■
she didn’t know what lo do.”
Ac we gaze into the future, we 1
sec our dearly beloved Miriam Licit- I
tenstein, as the “well known gossip- ;
er of Gossiperburg.”
Looking out over the hilltops, far
off in the distance, ruling supreme ,
is our basketball captain, Tommie j
W'asdcn, as the “Duke of Marlbor
ough”—just as supremely as he
ruled over his basketball varsity
in the past, he will rule over his
nation in the future.
Gliding over the Atlantic Ocean,
is the St. John's ship in which is
conveyed our clear little Effir Gene
Brown, a traveler overseas, traveling
a great deal in Japan and doing i
some missionary work.
Thinking of Vale, that reminds me i
—that Sam Clark, noted history j
scholar of the class of ! 22-'23 will !
some day in flic near future, be the
leading historian, there.
“Bonjour, les enfants, comment,
allez-vous ce matin?" say our old
maid school teacher, Jessika Wright
of Harlem, Ga.
Standing before the assemblage
of tile B. Y. I’. I’, at Sandy Gross,
Ga., is our noteworthy song bird,
•Mary Laura May, as the li. Y. p. l .
chorister.
Let us look through the winjlow j
and down a long white hall, all doll
ed up in white clothing, we see
Worth Jonsc, as a surgeon on his
way to the operating room, to per
form a very serious operation.
Way up in Maine, if we ever hap
pen lo he up there, we shall see dear
little Belly Clark playing on a type
writer as though it were a piano.
She will he the fair stenographer
j of a millionaire.
Just as we listen to GalliCurci
jat the Metropolitan today, before
j long, we will listen to Clyde Thom
as as she is desined to become an
opera singer.
Sitting in his curiosity shop at
London, we sec Kenneth Yearns
with a crowd of children gathered
around about him. He asks them
many questious, such as “Where are
you going?” “Where do you live?”
“What is your name?” etc.
As we see Nita Naldi on the screen
today, as a “vamp” we will sec at
a later date, our pet Frances Phil
lips, as the vamp in Cecil B. De-
Mi! le's future productions.
Our only real busy worker is
Mary Hauser, who will be the state
president of the P. T. A.’s. She at
tends the legislature assembly and
is therefore kept very busy visiting
each association of the state.
When our noted class mate, Hy
mie Estroff, starts out as a very
successful drummer, the men and
boys will no longer have any trou
ble in buying their suits to fit.
Should we think of it, we might
see Sara Fay Bcid at the bedside
of a wounded soldier, doing her duty
as a Bed Cross nurse of France.
Asa big sister to Frances Phil
lips, on the screen with her curly
locks and heart breaking eves, is
seen Miss Mary Sue Gale also as a
cut clittle blonde vamp with such
bewitching eyes.
As we see Tommie on this throne,
we see Miss Estill Scruggs at his
side arrayed in her queen's attire,
speaking thus:
“I shall have a golden room,
When I am a queen;
Willi a poppy perfume
And a jeweled screen;
You may come and sec me
Anytime you will
If you wear a green coat
And a gold frill;
I shall keep a black slave
Hidden in the wall,
Waiting to admit you
When you come to call.
And if you displease me,
So that I am bored,
I will have him kill you
With a golden sword.”
We can hear no sweeter music
than that of Miss Hyacinth McFar-

MiSvS Mary Lewis held a loop on the
head of an elephant, one Jnmbo by

silk hose, gold slippers, green waist
and on her beautiful raven locks
was a cap of red. She is the de

Behind her came a gilded cage

had some mystic power.
After the parade always comes the
