In. Georgia, the newspa pers have been watching his career with interest, both because of Its unusual features and the possibili ties for advancement which a man with his ability possesses. The Savannah News, considered one of the most, if not the most, conservative newspapers in the State, has the following comment on Mr. Roddenbery, which is full of hard, common sense and a careful analy sis of his work and possibilities: “The rise to prominence of Repre sentative Roddenbery of the Second Georgia District has been rapid. He has been in Congress less than three years and yet he has succeeded in getting himself noticed more than once In the metropolitan newspa pers, and on Tuesday, while presid ing over the Committee of the Whole, made a precedent ruling that promises to increase the burden of the property owners of Washing ton many millions of dollars. That ruling will not of course endear him to the people of that city, but what does that matter? They haven’t voles. And if it is a precednt that ought to have been made the 9 3,- 000,000 in the other parts of the country will hold him in remem brance and stand ready with their votes *o move him higher up In the event that he continues to make good. “Recently he got national atten tion by his efforts to get legislation preventing marriage between ne groes and whites. It is true that he didn’t have much success, but be said some things that will start the nation to thinking, and the legisla tion that he advoated may come along some years hence. “The picture of the Commissioner of Pensions, which he presented to the House, and hence to the coun try, the other day, wasn’t altogether gratifying to that gentleman and his friends, and It may have been drawn on rather broad lines, but the speech in which It appeared directed atten tion to some pension abuses and may be productive of good results. There Is no doubt that the pension busi ness needs overhauling by a reform Congress, an overhauling which It j will probable get if Mr. Rodden- jbery is given oftener a chance to be heard. “Mr. Roddenbery shouldn’t feel at all aggrieved if some of the news papers show a disposition to poke a little fun at him once in a while. In his efforts to make an impression by doing unusual things he may o<- he City Council should take up the matter and ask for a definite statement or promise In -he event that is not Immediately forthcoming from authentic sources, let the mat ter go to the Railroad Commission and we will have a station that is at least decent and respectable. WHAT ABOUT IT? Valdosta and Waycross and Cor dele seem to have fallen down right heavily on the baseball proposition. Thomasvllle, Amerlcus and Bruns wick are ready to begin whenever the others get their start.—Thom- asville Times-Enterprise. This about covers the situation as far as Waycross is concerned and It now looks very much as if in addi tion to falling down the cities named would stay down for the count. Recently the Valdosta Times stated that that paper would be glad to assist In the work of build ing up the local organisation, but that If there was no Interest taken In the movement, The Times would apply Ita energies to some other di rection. The Herald feels the same as does The Times in this matter. There are too many other matters of !m portance to be discussed and urged for Waycross for this paper to de vote space and time to the work of boosting the local baseball organi se of the newspaper a great deal more than when we only ^ceived our 8C mail once a week; aVrl now wish for one every day. Good idea, too, to read and keep posted on the general topics of the day, and by reading the It is time, how- Tlmes-Enterp. tec w C can always know what’s going on, locally and everywhere else. We note that the sturdy farmers are getting ready for the blessing of an alwise God for this year, for the are turning the soil, preparatory for planting the seeds, from the growth of which man derives his living. Noble old farmer, he should be hon ored more than he Is. Much building continues in and around Coolidge. J. T. Carlton, O. S. Moncrief and J. L. Danniell, are all building residences, and we learn that the Methodist church is laying material on the ground for the purpose of building a parsonage. Of this we are glad. Why don’t the Baptist people d# likewise? Mr. W. A. Duren of Meigs, was visiting r.datives here Sunday. Mr. R. E. Wilson and family vis ited relatives in town Sunday. We are Informed that the town council has rented the large upper room in the Suber building and will in future hold its meetings and po lice courts there. Let’s don’t forget to aid our post master in securing that library. Only a small effort on our part will ren der him great assistance and, boys, we need the books. If more of yo • young men will read more and loaf the streets on Sundays and Satur day nights less, you will become better boys, and have something to rejoice over when you are old.

Feb. 13.—The active work of eradicating the cattle tick in twenty counties in northwest Georgia is to be resumed by Dr. Bahnsen, State Veterinarian, early In March. This is the largest num ber of counties In which this work has been undertaken, systematically, since the flzht on the cattle tick which te costing Georgia annually five million dollars, was begun. In spqaking of this work today at the State Capitol, Dr. .Bahnsen said: “Just as soon as the cattle tick be gins to show itself, which will be early in March, we will begin our active work at driving It out and quarantining those countiee free of the tick so that it cannot get back. ’ This campaign will include twen ty counties In the northwest section of the state.

They went in expecting de-1 year,f In this oeting this state so much each it will in no way interfere with school routine or school govern ment, nor will it add more work ior the teacher. The constitution reads: “The ob ject of the Parent-Teacher Associa tion shall be better mutual under standing between parents and teach ers and their co-operation in all work for the interest of the child, and to study the welfare of the child in the home, school and com munity.” The Association is no new order, but is found in every well-organized school community, and In all in stances, the harmonious relation of home and school has improved the spirit and progress of the school, while the home has benefltted, and In this way proves also of great civic value. At the call of Supt. Duncan, and under the leadership of Mrs. James Evans, The Thomasvllle Association was organized January 27th, 1913. It Is meeting with the hearty ap proval of the School Board and the entire Bchool force, and every pub lic-spirited citizen. It is not just a “Mother’s Circle,’’ and its membership is not limited to fathers, mothers and teachers, hut anyone Interested in child-life is qualified for membership and is cor dially Invited to Join. It Is different from other organi zations In that the child is the cen ter and, only those subjects vitally important to his welfare, mentally, physically, and morally, will be dis cussed at these meetings. Meetings will be held once a month at the dlfferont school buildings thus bringing the home in actual contact with the school. The open session feature, whic.i gives parent and teacher opportunity for conference, will be very bene ficial in promoting co-operation, for personal interviews settle many puz zling conditions and place the whole spirit of the home In a new rela tion to the Bchool. Co-operation is what this Associa tion stands for—and in no way for Dictation! Thomasville’s school, with its at tendant problems, is a tremendous proposition which the Parent-Teach er Association will not presume to tackle but stands ready to lend a helping hand for the promitlon and furtherance of the best educational methods and the physical welfare oi the child. Dues hare been placed so low—25 cents a year—no member need be embarrassed by being unable to meet them. This money will be used for small |necessaries of the school .room or in any way most needed, In connec tion with the schools. This explanation Is respectfully submitted by the officers to clear! away any misunderstanding in re- j gard to the Parent-Teacher Asso- | elation. MRS. J. CARLTON, DUGON, President MRS. JOS. E.
