STATES SHOULD FIX QUALIFICATIONS
There can be no doubt about the. wisdom, of allowing each state to fix
Its own voting qualifications. The proposal tor an amendment to the fed
eral constitution allowing the ballot to women is out of line with the un
broken law in the pdst of allowing the states to govern the question of
suffrage.
If the people of a state wish women to vote, they can very easily amend
the state constitution and provide for their voting. If the United States
wish to extend the voting privilege to women in states that approve of it all
that women should vote therein unless the state involved wishes it
that wdmen should voe therein unless the state involved wishes it.
So far as the South is concerned, whenever it appears that the majority
of the white women in any Southern state wishes the ballot, the right for

ALMOST TO THE PARTING OF THE WAYS
It would not. be in the least surprising should the diplomatic break with
Austria come at any minute. The American note was couched in terms that
would admit of only one answer on the part of Austria. But Austria is not
disposed to give that answer. The answer of Austria will be just the oppos
Ite of what this country is demanding.
It is diflicult to se*e why the Austrian answer should be what this coun
try wishes. The Austrian ambassador had to be sent home on account of
his meddling with American affairs to an exent that made his presence in
Washington objectionable. That put a bad taste in the Austrian govern
mental mouth. The American note simply accentuates the situation.
A severance of diplomatic relations with Austria is about all that will
be left for President Wilson after the Austrian reply to the American note
has been received. That will probably be the end of the matter. The Uni
ted States is in no position to do any grave harm to Austria and that coun
try is in no position to harm us.
While it would hake been better in the long run for the American gov
ernment to have remained on terms of peace with all the nations involved
in the European war, it is probably about all that is left this country under
the circumstances, to let Austria go her way.

A GREAT WORK MAPPED OUT
Next year will witness the greatest development in agricultural training
ever witnessed In Georgia. This will come about as the result of jthe legis
lature of the state formally approving the Smith-Lever extension work by
making the appropriation to meet the appropriation of the federal govern
ment.
This extension work will be done by the State College of Agriculture in
connection with the United States Department of Agriculture and with the
money that will he available it will be made moat efficient. Year by year
under the plans of the Smith-Lever bill the sum of money will increase and
the work of investigation will go on on a larger and larger scale.
The directions of extension work in the state have just finished a most
important meeting at the State College of Agriculture, at which the plans
for this extension work were gone into in a thorough manner. Every sec
tion of the state will be reached in this work and every farmer in Georgia
will feel directly or indirectly the benefit of the work thus mapped out.
Georgia is to be congratulated on having set the official approval on the
movement and every dollar expended for this educational extension work
among the farmers of the state will yield rich returns.

IVho will the ten successful grand
premium winners be? This is a
question yet to be decided for efforts
of -candidates during these next two
final days may change the line-up.
Although the votes which may he-is

Tuesday are somewhat smaller than
during the past week, yet the oppor
tunity opens the way for material
gains to be made and an “eleventh
hour” campaign might prove very ad
vantageous to some one.
Ten thousand extra rotes on each
and every club of ten dollars in sub
scriptions turned in, is the special
offer for tomorrow and Tuesday. The
same ratio means one thousand extra
votes for each dollar in subscriptions
and these subscriptions may be either
old or new. This last offer should not
be overlooked, lit may be the torn
ing point in the campaign for you and
effoi*t8 exerted for the two days more
would not he amiss.
Although the campaign continues
for two more days yet everything is
in readiness for the close at 6 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon. The judges, all
prominent and disinterested citizens,
have been 'selected and they will
con it the votes, announce the prize
ballot winners, and award the ten
valuable premiums to the ten suc
cessful candidates.

thin inscription:
SACRED
to the
Memory of
WILLIAM LONGSTREET
who departed this life
September 1st 1864
Aged 54 years
10 months and 26 days
“All the days of the afflicted are evil;
but he
That is of a merry heart hath a con
tinual feast’’
Our Georgia humorist Inherited
origlial gifts and a merry heart from
“Billir” Longstreet, inventor of the
steamboat When a lad thd humorist
had watched the trial trips of this
boat on the Savannah. William Long-
street had the distinction of being
the one steamboat inventor who was
hot disappointed. He had a happy
philosophy for doing what he set out
to do, and being satisfied. He set out,
between the years 1786-88, to show
the folks who laughed at him that
he c<iuld make a boat and run it by
steam
Ro1>ert Fulton, profiting by the ex
seeking work. Women can make use
of It as freely and readily as men.
The success of the entire plan now
depends upon the .willingness with
which the average wage earner seek
ing a position will make use of the
government’s aid in getting the Job.
“The department of agriculture and
the postoffice department are both
cooperating with the Department of
Labor to make the project a success.
Employment blanks have been sent to
all postmasters of the country and to
every field agent of the department
of agriculture. These blanks may he
had upon request Employers will
state upon them the number and kind
of employees they are In need of, and
employees will specify, in turn, the
kind of work they want It makes no
difference what kind of work it is; it
may he housework, stenography, farm
ing, bricklaying, cooking, domestic
help. The blanks will, upon their re
turn, be assorted and classified, and | perieuce of Rumsy, Fitch, and. early
projectors, backed by money and In
fluence, finally achieved the Clermont
on the Hudson; while Longstreet’s
boat was left to rot on the banks of
the Savannah. It would be a curious
study to estimate just where Fulton
would stand among steamboat inven
tors if he, like Longstreet, had lived
In a Georgia village, with no Chancel
lor Livingston, no French Academy,
ho Earl Stanhope, no James Watt—
with nothing but raw material and
native gdhius for assailing the halls
of fame.
William Longstreet made no ambi
tions claims; he filed no exceptions
against Providence, Fame or Fortune,
because of failure. He was perfectly
willing for such promoters aB Fulton
to introduce steam navigation. When
we think of the rievances of dis
gruntled inventors in general, of the
wails of poor, dear Ell Whitney in
particular, because he was not allow
ed to let his patent cover the practical
roller-saw gin of Oliver Bull, and so
create the first American monopoly
of industry—we have a rising respect
for our uncommercial Longstreet. Af
ter proving to Augusta folks that he
could do it, he “laughed last,” and
turned hi3 attecMon to the more pro
fitable employment of applying steam
to the cotton gin.—Howard Meriweth
er Lovett, in Southern Woman’s Mag
azine.
