Some things are easy to aee through these days. A running account does a Mara thon that never seems to end. Tax equalization ought to be knoeked into the heads of those new legislators. Tha slashed skirls is quite becom ing to some women, but on others it really isn’t the thing. All this talk, of beating Hoke Smith far the Senate would be ser ious If It wasn't so foolish. Really now it is harsh to say that man descended from a mon key after you take a squint at one ot them. The •’MoTe-the-Capitol" tide ebbs crery twelve months. Let's change the Legislature to every two years. Get the girls back on the farm and It wont take the youth long *o discover that he made a mistake by leaving. it looks as If the women will get a chance to have an election, as to whether there will be equal suffrage Dr not. Thomasvillc is concerned as iw to utilize the immense file crop. No plan has yet been devised to ship safely this delicious fruit. But why not can them? Miss Cress- well, of the Agricultural Depart ment, will instruct how to can them. . No Instructions are needed how to preserve them. Fig preserves are the most delicious of all preserved fruits, and will bring good prices. Advertise that you have fig pre serves for sale and the orders will come. Nothing is equal to tlie.n except "brandy peeches," 'but they are no longer on the menu, being discarded by the reformers who in troduced grape Juice punch to take the place of the old-time cherry bounce, the celebrated brew of old Wilkes county families in good old antebellum days. — Macon Tele, graph. - • • • 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. •.I, The Democrats have agreed to free sugar and free wool and to be quite exact, their approval Is all that Is necessary. The mall order guy Is the biggest sucker in the land and one of the most profitable to the man at fas other end of the parcel poet. There Is a pig in Omega, Georgia, that has eight legs and two tails. Just what sort of a hog It will make of Itself Is left to the Imagination. Nothing unusual happened last Friday, the officially designated hoo doo Bay of the year. Not even a chirp from Theodors waB heard In the land. A live Board of Trade usually makes a live town and a live town makes more business for every Uvs merchant in the town. How about ‘It, ysa Tbomasrllllans? Csmpulsory education in Georgia may be necessary, but it Isn’t In Thomas county for they all want to go to school and all go when they get a chance. Joe Brown says that Is nothing to keep the Jape out of Georgia. Maybe what It takes to keep them straight, after they get here, Geor gia has It. 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 'does seem to me, however, mat we enforce a strict compulsory law. 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 ,. .. ........

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. Children, whoa* name* appear on the school census and who are shown by the reports of teachers 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.
