A woman’s minute oftens lasts a
life-time.
The far-reai hiaeffect of the
crusade against loafing, idling ne
groes which has begun in Thonias-
ville, cannot be estimated in mere
figures. The city will prosecute
everybody who is guilty of thai
offense within the next two yearn,
and the penalty after conviction is
severe enough to force itself upon
the attention of tho^e parties who
Jive on the other fellow and whose
every act is characterized by moral j
tory of the case. Immediate im
provement in such cases is usually
mental rather than pnysical, and
successes reported before many
years have tested their permanence
are liable to produce false impres-
TIIE SOUTH
Mayor Luke has already
his first week's salary.
Justice 9eems to outweigh pity in
the Sickles case.
Those peach blossoms will proba
bly feel the cold touch of Jack Frost

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the
earliest on which thi6 day has fal
len in many years.
"Which comes first, the hen or the
eggt" is the question asked by the
Waycross Journal.
Mayor Luke etarted something
yeaterday afternoon that will last
far ninety days at least.
If a Paris gown is a necessity, the
majority of women are in dire and
dismal want.

For years the tpwns of this sec
tion of the country have been ’iter-
ally Infested with many ab!°-bodied
negroes who loaf about pool rooms
and such places, live by gambling
and other nefarious methods and
ne*er work. It is a provable fact
the class mentioned are present in
police court for some offence more
than any other negroes in these
towns. The police court would
have small business if it were not
for them and their tendencies to
ward crime, which have been aggra
vated and encouraged by their mode
of living. The remedy is work.
They must take the dose, bitter and
hard as it will prove.
In Thomas County, the City Court
has made persistent efforts to en
force the law against vagrancy.
There have been any number of ne
groes tried for that offence and
when they are convkted, Judge
Hammond never fails to make them
work. This Is a county move, and
aided by the persistence of the
city authorities, it should not be
hard within several weeks to find
negroes who would not mind work
ing.
CDoks don't care whether they
work or not, men don’t want to do
manual labor, they had rather loaf
around and wear dudish clothes and
gamble; boys don’t want odd. Jobs
I (lies lie’s Weekly)
| Th\* development of the wonder-
| ful natural resources of v.liat are
known commonly as our ‘Southern
j states” lias been the marvel of our
Industrial history. We are only at.
the opening pages. The wealth in
cotton, in lumber, iron, coal, oil, and
even the precious metals, which the
South possesses has beea only In
part disclosed.
Its wide expanse of arable lands
still untouched Invites the immi
grant southward. Its fertile soil,
its genial clime and hospitable peo
ple make the invitation particularly
attractive. The tide of emigration,
turning southward now more than
ever, ha9 only begun to flow. It
means a tide of wealth aad untold
prosperity.
We have no patience with those
who patronize our friends in the
"South, who talk of the forgiveness
of the past and of the wiping out
of sectional lines. The South is the
mother of the country. American
patriotism was reared in its bosom.
It has given the nation some of its
ablest statesmen, Its wisest leaders
its most brilliant editors and saga
cious counselors.
In its charities, its benevolences,
Its religious and educational work,
no part of the Union excels it. For
hospitality it has no equal.
The South furnished the first
stars in the American flag and the
bravest soldiers who fought in their
defense. Bright and luminous they
were an 1, are, and always will be.
Go South, young patriot! Go
South!
rosins TERM
ENDS lit 1914
The Atlanta Journal Sun lay mor.i-
.ng, or to be correct Saturday auer-
noou, carried a statement ol the ex
pirations or Post Masters terms of
office for Georgia. Among those
mentioned was that of F. L>. Dis-
muke, Jr., of this city, the time of
expiration being in May of this >car.
This is in error as Mr. D,s;nukcs
commission was dated May four
teenth 1910, -which would "make it
end May fourteenth 1911, the term
being specified as four years. The
fight for.the local office is real warm
at present but of course not as
strenuous as it will be Just before the
time for the appointment whica
will not be made until next year.

Two Roys Stealing Feed Sacks are
Kept by Mrs. Stacey Until Polite
Arrive.
Four little negro boyc were
rested this morning by Marshal
Milton and placed In the barracks.
They are charged with stealing feed
sacks from Mrs. Stacey and Mrs.
Green, who live on Fletcher street.
These ladies had been missing them
for several days and this morning
Mrs. Stacey caught two little boys
in the barn purloining the sacks. 3he
stopped them and held the two in
tow until the Marshal arrived.
These two implicated two others
and the four were locked up.
