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.

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.

Every man acts foolishly sometimes, but the fellow that can act In the right place Is wise. plaud his service. 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 n canning plant, packing plant mure properly called, to ThomasvIUe.

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 votes in tbe statej their plaut. The price paid for the truck was stated very frankly and it does not compare with the truckers' prices obtained at Intervals for choice productions. This is to he quantity production, with a steady and ready cash market. The meeting endorsed the plan be- Bunk Cooper' didn't cost him hut tweuty-five cents each, but be didn't get many. There are leaks in the dry law. There are also leaks in some roofs, but that Isn't an excuse for no roofs. 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 ami insistent assault.

Harris of Georgia, now in Atlanta- lms made perhaps the shortest and most pointed j post-election statements of the late Georgia campaigns, ft was in reply to a statement of Governor Hard, wich in which the Governor denounc. cd Senator Harris as “a coward and a liar and a disgrace to the state. “Denunciation la no new thing for Hardwick”, said Senator Harris. “He donounced President Wilson in time of war, he denounced Senator Watson in language unfit to print. His denunciations jihvo not had much weight in the past, and have none at all now. The best answer to Hardwick was furnished by the peo ple at the ballot box Tuesday. It will be rncalied that Governor Hardwick was badly beaten in his race for relection in the September pri mary and waa worse defeated in his race’ for the U. S.
