“This is March, the month in which to have ‘had
colds’, to set hens, to plant corn and to drink sassafras
tea for the blood. It used to be the law in every house
hold for all to drink sassafras tea during M&rch. It
is said that it will thin down the blood and thus
keep you out of trouble. When the blood is too thick
it is said people are liable to get into trouble over
arguments on the mode of baptism, the tariff, the
tick law, the boll weevil, and the neighbors chickens
that are prone to scratch up the newly planted gar
den. Old times, however, warn against drinking
sassafras ten longer than four weeks as it is liable
to make the blood too thin, which might cause chills
or make one join the Socialist party or vote the
Republican ticket.” —Exchange.

Chaingang Sentences
Judge Fortsou is winning the approbation of our
people in putting chaingang sentences on all violators
of the prohibition law who are found guilty in his
court. This is the only way in which this demoraliz
ing traffic can he broken up, and all good citizens are
heartily in favor of putting a stop to it. When a
man deliberately violates a law of bis state, he ought
to lie punished in such a way as to make him feel it,
and tines seem to i>e ineffective, l’ut every one of them
to work on the chain gangs. The News congratulates
Judge* Fortsou on his stand in this matter.
Your family Doctor is you best
friend, no matter when you call
him he comes, and he will stick by
you through the direst trouble.

right at the top of your list of

IDOCTOR
Back to The Blue Back Speller.
According to the Jackson Herald, the School Com
missioner in Atlanta is in favor of returning to the
old methods of education. He Ls tired of new-fangled
tilings, for nowhere have so many fads been introduc
ed as in the system of education.
We suppose the school commissioner to which the
Herald refers is the county schdol superintendent of
the county schools. We have seen nothing to this ef
fect from State School Superintendent Brittain. How
ever, we are inclined to think that the “visualized sys
tem of reading” has had a tendency to make poor
spellers out of tile students. It ought not to if the
proper attention was given to teaching the children
to spell, hut rigid often they are rushed on in their
reading and in ver enough attention given to make
good spellers of them.
We would like to hear what Brit
tain says on the question. He is in better position to
pass on this subject than any man in the State.
Thq Land of Opportunity
In his recent tour of the South the noted economist,
Roger Bahson, was especially impressed by the diver
sity as well as the richness of this region’s natural .
advantages. It abounds in coal, iron, and water pow
er; it has excellent means of communication; and,
besides, its agricultural products are of the kind that
will be in larger and larger demand as the country
waxes more prosperous.
Touching this last consideration, Mr. Babson says:
“The per capita consumption of wheat, the main pro
duct of the Northern farming States, does not increase
much as the people become prosperous. But the de
mand for cotton, sugar, beef, and legumes increases
very much with prosperity. As tlie people become
better off they eat more vegetables. Hence the great
9
opportunity of the South lies in diversified farming,
breaking up the large tracts into small farms, the
introduction of good stock, and the planting of more
legumes. With the finest agricultural opportunities
in the country, the South to-day. does not feed her
self.”
Particularly are these observations true of Georgia.
All the chief staples are produced, or are producable,
within her fertile bounds; cotton, wool, flax, silk,
wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, cattle, swine, sheep,
poultry; and then such a wonderous variety of vegeta
bles and fruits ns few lands this side of paradise
have known. With all these resources however, the
State is not yet self-sustaining in the matter* of food
stuffs, nor is a tithe of her manifold natural treasure
yet developed. Georgians import millions of dollars
worth of products which lie latent all about them, but
and fail to export hundreds of millions which they
could produce.
These are the very conditions, however, that mark
the frontier of opportunity. Having the resources,
we can bring to pass the development; but by no
strength or skill could we ever create the riches
with which nature has dowered us. For those who
share in this development goodly rewards are certain.
No wonder Mr. Babson, with his practical eye and
seasoned judgment, declares: “The young man of the
North I should advise to go South rather than West.
Certainly the South Atlantic States offer agricultural
ly, Industrially and economically better opportunities
to the young man of to-day than does South America
—and I know South America.” —Atlanta Journal.
