DISSIPATED ILLUSIONS
WORKS TOO FAST
Miss Emma R. Sutton

These war times are dispelling many illus
ions, One of these, that the negro race was
gradually playing out since freedom. It has
been common opinion in the South for many
years that dissipation, disease and vices- were
fast undermining the health of the Southern
negroes, and the large number of deaths from
tubercular complications were cited ns <*.-
dence. But the physical examinations for men
under selective draft show that the negroes
are in better physical condition than white mefc
of the same age.
Also, it Was usually supposed that the ne-
gro as a rule was cowardly and had much
■" rather eat and sleep than fight. The anxiety of
many of them to go to the front at once has
also knocked this delusion.into a cocked hat.
Of course both conditions may be explained
under the hypothesis that the negro is a little
more of an animal, so to speak, than the white
man. and if such is the argumuent we trill
let It go at that. But the fact remains that in
the country's crisis the negro has shown up re
markably well. Also, that the race does not
appear to be playing out very fast.
the proofs were being read the mule came up
through the back yard of the office. This has
become a classic of its kind.
A few weeks ago a man in town came up
one Monday morning with the complaint that
he had kept a cow in his pen for a week, hav
ing to feed and milk her every day. waiting
for an owner to come along; so he put in an adv.
He hadn't more thanriumed the corner before
a man came in from the &>unt-7 to advertise for
a cow that he had searched for several days
all over the territory. We put the two descrip
tions together and sent him to get the cow; out
we lost both ads.
Yesterday Chief Thrasher came up to adver
tise a pound sale f° r a cow that he had held
for several days. His shadow hadn't more
than got across the doorsill before in dropped
one of our good-looking retail grocerymen for
us to help him find his milch cow to which he
was somewhat attached, and which had tran
scended the impannel of his impound several
davs before and circumlocuted the circumfer
ence of the city. We put the two descriptions
together, and he went to the pound and got his
cow. But we lost both ads. And we could tell
a dozen instances, just like that.
Still, some .people don't believe advertising
brings results. Why. it was only the other day

The Senate and House conferees in Congress
have agreed on the provisions of the Rivera and
Harbors bill, which contains authority for a
survey for a canal connecting the Flint and
Ocmulgee rivers to be known as the "Woodrow
Wilson Canal.”
The measure was introduced by Congress
man Park something ovpr a year ago and is
said to have the approval of government en
gineers and to have been instigated by high
authority. It proposes to create an inland wa
terway ‘ between the Atlantic and the Gulf of
Mexico. Provision is made for a preliminary
survey onl?, the details to be worked out lat
