IT CAN'T BE DONE
The news reports of the
meeting of the American Legion at
New Orleans, Indicate that a fight Is
brewing orer the form of recognition
that will be granted to the colored sol
dier, who fought for America in the
World War. The Southern delegations
are ready to contest bitterly for a
separate organization, If anything is
granted, and to maintain with precise
and historical arguments that any
amalgamation of tbe races in any or
ganisation of this kind is contrary to
the solid principles of racial rights.

GRAND JURY RECOMMENDATIONS
CARD BV GOV. HARDWICK
A. Sims, had presented a petition to
Judge Humphries signed by several
women interested in the girl’e case.
It was said by Judge Humphries that
the girl-was paroled because Mrs. Den- :
nls represented to him that she in-.
tended to send her to school in Vir-'
glnla. Tbe fact that she was paroled
waa revealed through complaints made
at the court bouse by residents in tbe
Dennis neighborhood, who objected toj
the presence of the girl.

Yet, when it comes to the admission
of these men into the Southern posts
of the American Legion, with equal
rights and privileges with the white
soldiers, it will not pass muster and
everybody knows why it will not.
There is a reason that is too well
known to need any reiteration In the
South. The North is still invested
with racial prejudice and It is a pity
that it has cropped out In this organi
zation. It will either wreck it or cause
H to be split In twain—a very poor
policy in either event.
OUR CANNING PLANT
Business men and farmers unani
mously endorsed a movement lo bring

have been led to believe that Thomas-
ville presents a very desirable and at
tractive field for this form of enter
prise. by reason of tho ease with which
canning crops can he cultivated.
They don’t ask any money, or any
stock. All they want Is the privilege
to buy certain truck crops in certain
quantities so that they can operate

truck was stated very frankly and it
does not compare with the truckers'

but at tbe same time It has felt tbe
added strength and virility that has
come to the people from a realization
of the necessity of rigid and strict
health regulation.
The matter of public health is a
question that lias no opposition in
communities that are thoroughly and
generally educated. When people have
learned that health means wealth as
well as many virtues that go into the
consnmatlon of what we term good
citizenship, they are well educated in
one line at least, and it usually comes
from their advantages in what is
called the elementary educational pro-
cesses.
When a community fights health
measures as extravagant and im
provident, there are members of the
community who have failed to grasp
tbe possibilities that will accrue from
this form of health work. Where they
have been tried in the most progres
sive amt, therefore, the most healthful
centers o[ our population, they have
become second nature and no up-to-
date community would think of oper
ating without rigid and inelustic health
laws for Ihe protection of people as
well as for their physical develop
meut.
The grand Jury of Thomas county
1ms recommended the enforcemnt of
tile Ellis health law. This was not
necessary except as an incentive to
the Board of Health to secure another
health officer and carry out the full
provisions of the Inw. The law is in
force but there seems to he a disposi
tion in certuln quarters to fight its
continuance, since the resignation of
the officer In charge for the past few
months.
Instead of iettn.g the master go by
default, the grand Jury recommended
that it be put into full force and ef
fect. it would take two successive
grand juries to nullify the effect of
the Ellis health law io Thomas coun
ty. It must be continued, therefore,
for a year and the service should be
so directed that It will prove of such
benefit that any attempt to offset or
repeal It would be met with instant
