Dr. Pule of the State Health Board
says it is not teething but inproper

means that nature is not responsible
for the little folks suffering but care-

the older folks.

Some one baa suggested that Vien

A new disease said to be generally
fatal is called “Angina of Effort.”
There is little danger of its discovery
creating much excitement or, alarm
however, since it is brought on from
overwork, consequently there is small

A newspaper report says that the
boll weevil has been found in Macoir
county, and Macon county is mighty
close to Dooly.
The city tax assessors are busy
this week “raisin' ’em” which means
that the property owners will soon
be busy “blazin’ ’em.”
Roosevlet says /hat he is out of
politics for good. If he is out it's for
good arlfght, both for the Colonel
end'the country too.
Commissioner Price has made re
peated str6ng appeals to the farmers
of Georgia to prepare to look after
their interests, in the matter of the
proposed increase in freight rates.
And it ^exceedingly important that
they give* heed to his urgent call as
theoutcome will very materially af
fect the farmers, particularly those
who are just launching into produc
tion for market. Dooly county should
be represented at the meeting to be
held June 26th for the purpose of
thrshing out the porblem.
The Democratic convention is
threatened with an excess of har
mony in the opinion of the leaders.
This seems to be an age when a peace

And now Savannah is to have a
preparedness parade. These parades
are becoming quite popular in the
larger cities of the United States. In
fact the country Etems to be doing
more parading than preparing.
Many of our newspaper brethren
are inclined to underestimate the
strength of Dr. L. G. Hardman. He
came dangerously near becoming gov
ernor taro years ago and is stronger
now than he was then.—Walton
Tribune.
The Republican nominee for pres
ident is said to have given way to tears
when notified of his selection to the
place. These were doubtless team
of joy, or mayhap they were in an
ticipation of the sadness which Mr.
Hughes probably realizes.is sure to
follow.
It is rumored that we are to have
several .candidates for representative.
The names of three men have already
been mentioned ds probable aspir
ants, these men live in different sec
tions of the county and all are prom,
inently connected. Should the race
be a three cornered one with these
participating it would likely be
lively one.
The United States government is
said to be facing n serious situation
because of Washington’s disposition
to gossip about foreign affairs. It
seems that the state department has
been talking too freely about the af
fair* that relate to foreign countries,
tfWch are supposed to be kept secret.
And strange to say this department
Is not made up of women either.
An effort is being made by his
friends from over the state to induce
Dr. Lewis Mobley to enter the race
for State Pension Commissioner. It
is understood that this move was in
augurated by influential veterans in
another county before Dr. Mobley
had^been apprised of the plan. The
doctor has not as yet announced his
purpose in regard to it, but should
he decide to make the race he would
be strongly supported by his friends
In Dooly.
STANDARD DRESS FOR WOMEN.
Hie recent national convention of
woman’s clubs went on record as fav
oring standard street dress for wom
an. It has been suggested that though
, such an evolution in dress seems well
nigh impossible it could be easily ac
complished if Paris, the dictator
. American woman’s fashions, could
prevM^d upon to take a hand, and
frown upon anything other than the
standard style. No one would infer
from this suggestion that American
women are possessed of any great
amount of individuality or inde
pendence in the matter of dress, and
perhaps the truth Is they have been
so occupied in the past with the get
ting of what PUls has dictated that
they have had no time to spend in
working out any saner or happier
plan of their own. If women would
adopt a style of street dress as prac
tical for their use as that now used
by the men i* for theirs a great deal
of worry would be .eliminated from
their Uvea to say nothing of the brae-
fit it would be to their pockets. Neith
er would their personal vanity suffer
any great loss by so doing for every
woman looks well in a plain neat
tailored waist and skirt. So if if does
away with worry, reduces expenqe
and does not detract from the per
sonal appearance, standardizing street
dress would seem a most acceptable
innovation for America’s fair sex.

told that some of these negroes regis

BIBB COUNTY BOARD
AND DOCTOR ASSAILED
WOOD-PULP RESOURCES.
The high cost of paper emphasizes
the need of more energy and skill in
utilizing the country’s natural re-
urces. The supply of this commo
dity is far below the demand, although
the mills are running at-full capacity.
For more than a year prices have
mounted swiftly and steadily until
now'ihey are unprecedented. The
condition is due partly but not main
ly to the war, for while the paper ex
port* of the belligerant nations have
been curtailed or entirely stopped the
chief producers of wood pulps are
among the neutrals. The only lasting
solution of the problem seems to lie
in a broader end more intelligent use
of the raw materials which this in lust
ti vjf.uires Mid in whirl: the United
* i'.e« abound*.
A writer in the Bcien.L'.e American
declares that the due practice
scientific economies would make
America independent of foreign
sources for its fibers as well
as its dyestuffs, days, chemicals and
sundry other necessaries.
“Utilisation of lumber wastes,
which are bow tremendous, should be
developed further, and reforestation
ought to be stimulated. In addition
new sources of Taw materials, such as
waste flax and other straws, sugar
cane, etc.,'should be exploited. ; The
Government has for tome years been
carrying on valuable experiments
this direction through the Forest
Product* Laboratory and the Bureau
of Plant industry assisted by the Bu
reau of Chemistry. The increasing
cotta and scarcity of timber point
not very distant time when annual
crop wastes will become commercial
ly profitable for paper making.
A chemical survey of the yellow
pine industry, as it is now conducted
in the South, has shown that at least
two-thirds of the tree is wasted.
Thousands upon thousands of cords
of pulp wood are thrown away when
only a cord and a half .is needed
make a ton of Kraft paper worth sev
enty dollar*. This is but one example
among scores which point to the vast
increase of wealth and prosperity we
shall enjoy when scientific methods
are brought to bear upon our natural
resources.—Atlanta Journal.

Norfolk, Va., June.—The auper-
H read naught Pennsylvania arrived
from the yards of the Newport News
Ship-building and Dry Dock company,
her builders, this morning and was
placed in commission. She will be com
manded- by Captain H. B. Wilson.
It is expected that the ship will be
at the local yards about ,ten days,
proceeding from here to Philadelphia
wbereshe will receive the set of silver
plate to be presented.
American naval experts claim tiiat
the Pennsylvania is the most power
ful warship afloat. Her main battery
consists of tweleve 14-inch rifles, ar
ranged in four turrents on the cen
ter line. Two of the turrents are so
elevated that the ship has a dead
ahead fire of six of the big guns an'd
a like fire dead astern. In the sec
ondary, or torpedo boat defense bat
tery, arranged along the main and
upper decks, are twenty-two 6-inch
rapid-fire rifles. There are also four
21 inch torpedo tubes.
The Penneslyvania is equipped with
two armored decks to protect her
vitals from indirect shell fire. The up
per deck is of special steel two inches
thick and the main deck ia three inches
thick. The out board armor consists
of a partial belt extending from well
below the water line to the main deck
and is 14 inches thick amldship, ta
pering to eight inches at each rad.
The armor on the turret* varies from
IS inches to 8 inches in thickness,
with 6-inch armor on top.
The Pennsylvania is 608 feet long
over all, has a full load displacement
of about 32,000! tons and her speed
on trials was slightly in excess of 21
knots an hour. She wsa contracted
tor in October, 1918, and was launch
ed at Newport News fifteen moths
ago. '
