Bob White.
Every landowner should real
ize the value ol the bob white,
and should demand from every
sportsman a lair price for any ot
them killed on his property, if,
indeed he should allow them to
be killed at all.
At Marshal Hall, a point ol
the Potomac River about 30
miles south of Washington,
where the acreage under culti
vation is large and the bob white
is abundant, long continued ob
servations have been made and
not a single bit ot evidence has
been secured to show that the
bird is in anyway an injury to
crops of grain or fruit. The
same thing has been found to be
true in other localities all over
this county—for the bob white is
known in practically every sec
tion.
Insects form about one third
of the bob white’s diet from June
1st to August 31st, and a calcu
lation shows that 340 tons of in
sects are destroyed during this
period in Virginia and North
Carolina. Among the insects
consumed by the bird are such
very harmful pests as the Rock)
Mountain locust, the chincn bug,
the Colorado potato beetle, the
Mexican boll weev 1, the cotton
worms and the army worm. The
chicks cause a greater consump
tion of insects than the adult
birds.
While many other useful birds
coniine themselves to the wood
land or swamp, or merely scut
along waterways, hedges and
fence rows, the bob white feeds
directly among the field crops.
In the North he is found among
the ragweed in the wheat stub
ble ; in the South among the
cotton fields; in the West his
favorite feeding ground in the
corn fields, and he often spends
the night there instead of flying
to covet in the woods, as do
moat birds. The faculty wi h
which this interesting feathered
creature passes from field to field
either on foot or by the wing, al
io distributes his services to an
unuaual degree..
Getting Under Way Again
The announcement in the At-
ltnta Journal that the Southern
Railway wi.l resume the work of
dou ole-tracking its system is grat'
ifying.
It is further stated that the
Southera will restore to work a
number of men who had oeen
“laid off” in its machine shops.
The Statesboro New announ
ces that one ot the biggest saw
mills in South Georgia, which
snut down six mo iths ago, was
given an order during the week
lor fifteen car loads of its pro.
duct, and will start up in a lew
days Other orders have been
received by it since Monday.
The Savannah, Augusta and
Northern announces that its pro
ject will now be pushed as rapid 1
ly as is consistent with the im
portance and nature of the en
terprise.
The Georgia and Florida is
is going ahead putting in its com
necting links and joining up the
system.
Big lumber plants in South
Georgia which have been closed
or only partly operated are pre
paring to resume in full.
Throughout the East confi
dence is being restored, and in
the big centers there is now no
longer the distrust of Georgia as
a place of safe investment that
there was a short time ago, for it
has been made plain to them
that Georgia needs outside capi-
tal and will protect investments
in this state.—Augusta Chronicle

Let’s Get Back to Work.
The gubernatorial campaign
is over, and the count'y is now
getting quiet again. The spell
binders have been relegated to
the political ash heap until their
services are needed for another
campaign, and the merchants,
farmers, and laborers have had
time to stop and think for a
moment before going back to
work.
Some of the calamity howlers
on both sides have claimed that
the country was going to de
struction, but such is not the
case. Georgia is destined to ex
perience a great era of prosper
ity from the reaction which fol
lows a great panic and the soom
er we become obessed with this
idea and determine to make it a
reality, the sooner healthy nor
mal business relations will be
restored.
The past campaign is now a
matter of political history, and
should be treated as such. Il
your neighbor differed with you
don’t be narrow enough to cher
ish this against him, but tender
to him the privilege ot every
American citizen, the right ol
free thought and speech.
These campaigns have ever
had a deterrent effect upon the
bus-ness world, and the extreme
enthusiasm which was shown
during the past three months
was sure to engender hard feel-
ings.
But Meriwether and the State
have enough for us to do without
these private squabbles, so in
the words ot Longfellow, “Let
us then be up and doing.”
