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 tonight. 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. Abe Martin says that "glttin’ off and on th’ water wagon is th’ only exercise some fellers git.” Jim Sinclair held the job as Presi dent of a baseball league a shorter time than any man in the history 1 about the house, they play cracker- degredation, and crimiral tenden cies. 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.

NEGROES CAPTURED 81 HI 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. T Coming to Dr. W. R. Farrow at the STUART HOTEL ties.

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound, made from native roots and herbs, contains no narcotic or harmful drugs, and to-day holds the record of being the most successful remedy for female ills we know of, and thousands of voluntary testimonials on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass., seem to prove this fact.
