C., school house fire, in which 75 lives were lost, is one of the most astounding trage dies that has ever occurred in this country. The scene was a rural schoolhouse where commencement exer cises were being held, and it was an occasion where joy reigned supreme, the very climax of the whole year. Suddenly anil without warning, a lamp fell from the ceiling and instant]/the whole audience and building included was enveloped in flames. It is a most heart-rending tragedy, the bare '. thought of which makes one shudder. The holocaust did its work quickly. The two-story wooden struc ture, with a schoolroom below and a hall above, soon j became a seething furnace and the struggles of the mass of humanity soon terminated. In Cleveland, Camden and Kershaw county, where there was wide spread happiness and joy, all now is sorrow and '■gloom. More than 40 of those that perished were school children. This horrible disaster carries its lesson. Buildings of —- this character should not he used for school purposes in rural communities, flood roads and the automobile f have annihilated distance, permitting the consolidif- , tion of country schools, which should he built with , ? plenty of exits in case of fire. Of course, everybody i can see what is needed after the fire and this is what we see. ■" * Georgia has had her lessons, one of the most re- ~ cent ones being the disaster near Covington, but in • face of these repeated fires there are hundreds of L» school buildings in the state that are veritable fire straps and new ones are being constructed almost ».idaily. State school supervisors for years have been tell- , » ing Georgia authorities about these school houses but 5 it seems to be a question of “what’s everybody’s busi es ness is nobody’s business.” ” There should be a law in’this state, if there is nohe, requiring adequate fire escapes on all school build- m ings. If there is such a law then somebody should be — turned out of office fqr not enforcing it. It is for better a little money Were expended on escaped 1 , or what would be better, fire proof buildings, than an ... entire community saddened and the life of scores of children snuffed out through carelessness and short »-• sightedness. Baldwin ax Prime Minister was no surprise to Mr. Lindsay, ho be stated. Baldwin Is a representative of what is known as the labor pur* rv in that country and since the v/drld war the laboring element in England has gtown to be a fac tor in goyrrnmental affairs being represented in the House of Com mons by 125 members. It is the great middle class of people in England who have suffered the most since the war, says Mr. Lind say; doctors, lawyers, educators and busines men. This is the class of citizens who have stood the burdens of the country for cen- ; turies past, but recently the restful feeling which has prov pver the world, has effected that country and a desire for a change has grown alarming to those who are interested in good government.

Atlanta is going after the 1924 Democratic convention, and Here’s hoping that she will get it. Atlanta knows how to > things and when is commenced in that city. It is seldom that it falls to be put over. Atlnntn can take .rare of the con vention, and ail Georgia will back her up In the movement. Ily all means let us aid in bringing to Georgia the National Democratic convention for next year. There Is no reason why the solid south should not have one of the nation al conventions held within the bord ers of the banner state of the south for democracy and in the most mp- Idly giownig city In the whole {Ho secure southern states—Atlanta. The convention burssu, as suggested in this paper Wed nesday .has mst with general endorssment of the people. It Is realized that conventions are the greatest advertising mediums and one of the greatest resources fi nancially a city can have and for these reasons our peoplo are anxiour that somo determined effort should be made to secure our share of conventions for next ysnr. Thf nmwokin,, ; CMl of *bt p rtnlnlng la nominal; undertaking tho rcturnH nre enormous, and I ever expect to grow pand, we must nrouse ourselvea to the importance of going after conventions and securing them.

Soule, ;;; president of the State College of Agriculture, of the -- enormous'exodus of both 'white and colored labor 11 *•«*%! tlwi fnvma P _» r fljl - - from the forms of Georgia shows an alarming conc..- £ tion. But, we should not grow too much alarmed or m discouraged over the seeming calamity which has , : befallen the agricultural interests ot the state. Sup pose there have been nearly twelve thousand farms Z abandoned and seventy thousand colored farm - hands and tenants who have migrated to other sections of the country there yet remains millions of acres of ■ fertile larm lands in cultivation and thousands of both • white and colored a farm hapds, tenants and owners of lands who are remaining on the farms, developing, - diversifying and working with a determination to pro- « duco more farm products this year than ever before. C, While this exodus may reduce considerably the pro- . • - duction in some sections of tho state, the condition , *will not-Iast and another year will find a normal pro- 1 “»duction of nil agricultural products. Besides, the departure of the negro will encourage the entrance nto this section of the country of more thrifty and stable farmers from other stnte.vand, after the fright “ is over our people will realize that the exodus was a blessing ilf disguise. However, it was wise action on the part of Dr. Soule to sound the alarm and give warning of the condition we are facing in order that we may better prepare and fortify our position against a short crop, land scarcity of labor. With co-operation on the part of the farmer, the merchant and the* banker, the tidal wave of depression that seems to bo ’sweeping over this section of the country can be stemmed and pros perity and plenty can be brought about.
