Is working out with some success. A new plan has been adopted whereby crossing are closely watched by some designated person during a particular time and a record is made of all cars that cross, where every possible pre caution is not exercised. A Tbomasvllie gentleman recently received a letter from the L. and N.

The call it for men there with experience and wisdom such as will be able to determ ine that the people will only pay Just and reasonable rates, and, on the other hand, those who will know and stand for a reasonable return on the fair valuation of the physical property used in giving efficient service. The policy of “damn the corpora tions” has uo place in Georgia needs just at this time. Unfortunately we haven’t the money, locally, for fur ther utility development, and the mon* ey must come from foreign fields and such money is not going to be forthcoming with a hostile public tc foreign capital. Intelligent and equit able regulation of utility property is, to our mind, the absolute solution needed development and service o# this kind- We are unfortunate in not being able to retain Mr. C. M. Candler this commission beyoud the expiration of his present term, which expires with the close of the present year, so happens that our fellow townsman Mr. W. Trox Bankston. Is seeking place on this commission in the pres ent campaign, and it is unfortunate that he is seeking the place held hr Mr. Perry. Mr. Candler's place is j be tilled this year and thus far no it is in school. There is every reason to believe | that any class iu any school is rneas-' ured. as far as scholarship is con-| eerned, by the discipline. You can' find an unruly aud troublesome grade and you will also find that it is woe-, fully weak in its academic work. This is due to a lack of concentration, largely, which is the result of a lack of discipline. Very few school authori ties are guilty of brutality although we can readily imagine that the aver age teacher would get provoked be yond all reason unless discipline was maintained, even to the extent of ex cessive punishment. The best thing for the average boy and girl Is dis cipline at home and in school. Klther | without the other will not be as ef fective as is necessary, especially in this day and time when the tendency is to absolute unrestraint in all pleas ures and amusements. Harding has now been condemned as an enemy of union labor, but it tfe not the first time- FEW MOSQUITOES HERE Are you troubled with mosquitoes this year? There are some complaints, although very few. If there are mos quitoes you can be quite positive that stagnant water is allowed to collect or near your home There is no other way for mosquitoes to germioA’e and no other medium through which malaria, with all of its deadly quali ties. ran be carried Three years ago. Dr. John Schrieber. then county health officer, started a campaign to oust the malaria mosquito in Thomasville. He wanted five thou sand dollars to pay the federal of ficers supervising the work and in carrying out the ditching, etc. The city was not able to supply the funds one has announced for the place with any special fitness for the work. It seems that Mr. Bankston would have a better chance of election if he would enter the contest for the place made vacant by Mr. Candler’s withdrawal than (the farm. However, Mr. Davison has so many irresponsible Every senator that is elected can count on doing more time than any other elective officer. I probably had The price of gasoline is up again but It will probably drop a quarter of one per cent, in a year or so. Only ten dollars per word is what Uo Kaiser thinks his book is worth, but who else agrees with him? The political bee is indiscriminate la its attention and will sting the vot er just as readly as the candidate. The world expecta too much from some folks, especially when It expect! them to live rightly and properly. kickers to deal with that he has grown tired of comments from ex-convicts. In our opiuion, the trouble at the prison farm is a part of the result of the general economic condition of the state. We dare say that an investiga tion at the State Sanitarium for tho Insane would show very much the eaine conditions as exist at the prison farm aud. to a degree, we believe the same to be true with the other state limosynary Institutions. The mere fact that a man is in the penitentiary does not conclusively prove that he is good and kind and easy to manage, likewise with inmate* of other isolated institutions It re- ibut the people of Thomasville, realiz-’opposition to the most capable man 1 ing the need of the work, through Dr. on t h e commission.

It was a very gratifying success and much valuable work was done lo era dicate stagnant water near the resi dential sections of the city. The five thousand dollars was over subscribed and the money left was used for the next year in keeping the places dry and the ditches cleaned out. It work ed then and It is being continued this year, the cost now being very small in comparison to the original cost, when the major portion of the work was necessary.

When the case was disposed of the last man that had the cuorage to do his convictions as a public servant parsed from office as a state execu tive- John M. Slaton was the kind of man who could honor the office. Watson's gangsters came very near lynching him while he wore the man tle of authority and the highest publio office in Georgia. And since that time—since the day Watson rose to where he could direct the choice of a state ohief executive, no man has administered that office with credit to his state, with peace or satisfaction to himself as * public servant, or with results that came any where near leaving the state a clean' financial sheet at the end of the term Georgia has spent all that could be gathered in taxes, baa run far behind in its obligation* and ha* “pawned” the rentals of the state road for a period of five years ahead to meet Uie extravagance of a single session of the legislature which Watson’s friends di rected.
