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 From Newspaper -Judges Selected to Count Ballots Subscribers are requested to notify ,promptiy the business office of late delivery, failure to carry papers to porches or failure to deliver with ab- t solute regularity on the part of the carriers. Such notification is the only source of knowing of the existence of any cause for complaint, and we will appreciate it accordingly. SPECIAL NOTICE. Subscribers will please take note that no carrier boy is authorized to collect subscriptions from any one, or to sell papers under any .circum stances.

The best time to save money when you are making money. 1 The bank clearings in all the chief cities of the land indicate prosperity. With the remarkable prosperity which has come to this country there has also come a large responsibility. 4 The congratulations of tht Ameri can people to President and Mrs Wilson. ♦ — Politics is beginning to show symp toms of revivification in Georgia. An nouncements are beginning to come in now. 4 It tickles the Germans to witness the way in which Austria is handing it out to Uncle Sam In the Ancona correspondence. 4' There seems to be enough strength in congress to put through a national defense program provided the way can be maae clear as to how the money is to be secured to pay the bills. 4— Had a notice from Santa Claus yes terday.

King Peter, of Serbia, is to take up his residence in Italy, the Teutonic allies having driven him out of his country. By and by he will go back, lor the end of the big war is certain, however long it may be waged. women to vote in that state will be quickly forthcoming. The men of the South are convinced that woman suffrage in not the thing for this section and the vast majority of the women of this section agree with that view. If they should change their opinion and ask the ballot of the men of the South they would get it Woman suffrage may come in other states and it may come in this pa. of the country some of these days, hut it should not come save through th. approval of the states. Congress should keep Its hands off the question. 4 — ► 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. f 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.

This is nothing more than could be expected, for the continuing of the European war has cut. down importa tions to such an extent that there is necessarily a large reduction of tariff Income. This would have occurred under a republican administration as well as under a democratic adminis tration, and yet next year there will be a tendency on the part of repub lican spellbinders to throw all the blame on the democrats and urge the ijs people to turn them out on account of the levying of a war revenue tax.

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 sue! on subscriptions Monday and 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.

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. .461,976 ... t Miss Tom Middlebrooks N.
