The inability to successfully mar
ket a product after It has been made
has been a weak point In Southern
agriculture and horticulture. There
are hundreds of products ‘.hat can
be successfully raised In the South
that we have not learned to suc-
C'6sfully market. In fact, it is our
ability to make innumerable things
that confuse us in developing a mar
ket plan. We have not learned to
market syrup, potatoes, onions, hay,
or even corn or oats. It seems that
we have only one thing 'hat the
average man can market: That is
cotton. That Is the reason wo have
so many people raising cotton. They
are tied to it and cannot quit. We
are glad to note that the Moultrie
Chamber of Commerce will direct
much of its efforts In future
developing markets. Farmers of
the county are organizing to help
work out plane. We have the lands
and the farmers to produce great
wealth, and they are waiting for
market plans.—Moultrie Observer.

BRYAN S BELIEF IN
IMMORTALITY.
(From a Funeral Oration.)
1 shall not believe that even now
his light Is extinguished. If the
Father designs to touch with divine
power the cold and pulseless heart
of the burled acorn, and make It
burst forth from Its prison walls,
will He leave neglected in the earth
the soul of man, who was made In
the image of his Creator? If He
stoops to give the rosebush, whose
v. Ithered blossoms float among the
breeze, the sweet assurance of an
other spring time, will He withhold
the words of hope from the sons of
men when the frosts of winter
come? If matter, mute and Inani
mate though changed by the forces
of nature Into a multitude of forms,
can never die, will the imperial
spirit of man suffer annihilation
after It has paid a brief visit, like
a royal guest, to this tenement of
clay?
Rather let us believe that He,
who, In his apparent prodigality,
wastes not the raindrop, the blade
of grass, or the evening’s sighing
zephyr, but makes them all carry
out His eternal plans, has given
Immortality to the mortal, and
gathered to himself the generous
spirit of our friend.
and superintendents not to have at
tended the required sixty days, and
who are not exempt by reason of in
accessibility to a school or by rea
son of mental or physical defects,
will be listed as truants by the
county superintendents. The boards
of education of the respective coun
ties will then be authorized to cite
the |::■ ! . or guardians of such
children .now cause why they
have not bad these children to at
tend school as required by law. The
hill further provides for the Im
position of lines by the boards of
delinquent parents and guardians,
and for a trial by a state court
where this is desired.
Give Boards Discretion.
The measure does not require the
boards (o take such a step, but em
powers them to do so and leaves ac
tion discretionary with them In’
each Individual case. This provis
ion, It is believed, will answer the
objection of those opponents of
compulsory education who claim
that a measure of that sort would
result In forcing all negro children
to attend school without materially
benefittlng the white children of the
state.
’ State Superintendent >1. L. Brit
tain is heartily in favor of a meas
ure of compulsory education, though
he wants a sane and moderate law,
not a radical one. When asked for
his opinion In connection with the
(lie re-appearanee of the Fullbrlght
Bill this summer, he said:
’’Conditions In our state, in my
Judgment, -would not enable us to

have waited long enough for legis
lation along this line. With a rea
sonable age limit of from eight
twelve years, and a term of four or
live months, giving boards of edu
cation the right to excuse from at
tendance In cases of peculiar hard
ship and In cases affecting the ne-
groes particularly. It should be pos
sible to secure legislation that will
be helpful In moral as well as legal
effect. Inflict no hardship upon our
people, and give us ground upon
which to stand for further advance
ment later.
Only Six’ States Without I-»w.
"Georgia Is one of only six states
having no form of law with regard
to compulsory school attendance.
Within the last few 'weeks. North
Carolina has adopted this leglslac
tion and besides this, the general
assembly of that state requires each
county to maintain schools for a
term of, at least, six months in the
year, and appropriates >4 00,000
extra for this purpose. We are In
no position to support or enforce a
radical law on this subject, hut It Is
time for Georgia to begin with this
work." -j....... v ,. .. ........

COMPI'LSOIIY EDUCATION.
There seems to be a tendency on
the part of educators especially,
and those interested in that work,
to have passed at the next session
of the Georgia Legislature a bill to
compel a certain amount of edu
cation for all children in Georgia.
The bill is hard to properly shape
up because of the great number of
negro children whom it would be
impracticable and impossible to
reach in that connection. There
seems to have been evolved a meas
ure which jt is hoped will passi and
it embodies features which it is be
lieved will do away with several
objections offered to the measure
which was defeated at a previous
session.
The facts of the new bill, as far
as can be learned now, are as fol
ic ws:
Provisions of tho Bill.
In drawing his measure, Mr. Ful-
brighr has taken pains to meet
most or the objections that were
ur?ed against the Littleton bill.
brief the measure provides for a
school census of all children be
tween the ages of eeven and twelve
to be takea each year. All auch
children are to be required to at
tend school for as much oa sixty
days during the school year.

Atlanta, June 14*—In connec
tion with the proposed effort to
have grade crossings abolished by
the Georgia Legislature, it is inter
esting to note that the railroads
have compiled careful statistics to
show that while people do occas
ionally get killed on grade cross
ings, a much greater proportion of
the deaths are due to the tres
passing of outsiders upon the track
where there is no crossing at all,
and that ft strictly enforced law' to
/keep people from trespassing on
railroad tracks would save many
lives annually.
“Vigorous measures must be
[taken in some way to make people
understand that railroad tracks
cannrt be used as footwalks with
impunity,” said a prominent local
official dis- ussing the situatioa here
today.
It is shown that in the past five kins » wh,ch is seldom done as often
years, 4,361 persons were killed at as 19 necess ary. If you must have
THE BABY’8 NURSE.
(Health Bulletin Issued by the
Georgia State Board of Health.)
Too little thought is given to the
selection of the baby’s nurse. Some
people seem to have the idea that
any sort bf a girl will do. They do
not stop to find out whether or
not there is consumption or some
Other contagious disease in the
house whore the nurse conies from,
nor do they try to find out if the
nurse horsolf is free of disease
which their baby might easily con
tract. What about the nurse’s
moral character? Many a poor
baby, no doubt, has becomo Infect
ed with one or more of the so-call
ed social diseases by being nursed
by a girl or woman of loose moral
habits.
Then, too, the important question
comes up as to the nurse's intelli
gence. It may be claimed that it
does not require very much sense
to be able to nurse a baby. Right
there Is where a mistake is made
If it is important to have a good in
telligent gardner to help you bring
your plants and flowers to perfec
tion, ht-w much more important it
is to have a good, healthy, intelli
gent nurse to help you bring your
baby to perfection, and start it out
on life’s road with a good constitu
tion, and without deformities. Get
a nurse that is neat and clean
for the baby’s sake, don’t get
nurse at all. If the nurse Is dirty
and has a odor that nauseates yoa
and makes you eick when she
comes near you, how norrible it
must be to the poor baby, who, o.i
account of its helplessness and Ina
bility to protest and get away from
this stinch, has to stay with it and
endu-e it, day in and day out. Tell
the nurse how to get rid of this
odor, and if she does do it, get rid
of her.
Never allow the nurse or baby's
grandmother, or any one else to
chew up food and give it to the
baby. It may be alright for the
older birds to carry food in their
mouths and. deposit it in the mouths
of the young birds, but this does not
do in the case of human beings.
There is no other way for the birds
to feed their young, but there are
other ways for human beings to
give their young food. This prac
tice, besides being unnecessary, and
disgusting to think about, is really
dangerous. Besides causing bowel
troubles, just think of the danger
of your baby contracting other dis
eases in this way. The intention
of the nurse, qy yourself, or the
grandmother, or other party may
be perfectly good and praiseworthy,
but the harmful effects are Just as
sickening and deadly as though the
intention were bad.
'Another thing, do you know
where the nurse goes with your
baby when she takes it out for . a
walk? How do you know that your
defenseless baby is not lying in its
[carriage neglected, with the sun
j beating Into its eyes, while the -
nurse is idly gossiping -with some J Washington, June 14.—The cot-
ione and Ignoring the baby’s wel-.'ton consumed in the United States
fare and comfort? How do you
know that your baby, that is depen
dent on you for protection, is not
playing on the floor in some negro
shanty where dirt and filth are par
amount; or maybe It Is being taken
up on the bed and being fondled by
some unfortunate sick person who
is fond ot children, but is ignorant
of the dangers of giving their dis
ease to your baby?
After you, have employed a nurse
and found that she can’t be, or
wont be taught how to properly
care for your child, discharge her.
Don’t keep her and try to excuse
yourself by saying “she U the best
I can get.” If you do keep such a
nurse, don’t try to lay the blame ou
Providence if your baby sickens and
dies, or becomes Injured for life as
the result of having a diseased or
careless nurse.
The proper nursing of a baby re
quires constant thought and atten
tion. It is something more than
rocking the baby to sleep which Is
not necessary; and It is something
more than changing the baby’s nap-

and General Evans congratulated
the Governor on the splendid show

Two Atlanta men are leading in
the contest, Oscar C. Hollerraan, of
