THE S-A-X AND THE S-A-M.
If the South Atlantic states are to become, as
they should, the natural gateways for the South Am
erican and Cuban trade, it is evident that something
more is needed than ships, though ships are the prime
essential. Somebody must put on his hat and go up
into the Middle West and persuade the manufactur
ers and shippers there that these South Atlantic ports
are the ports which they should use. In other words,
if we are to compete with New York—not to mention
the aggressive Gulf ports—somebody must go out and
“get the business.’’
That seems to be the function for the proposed
South Atlantic Export Company which is now com
pleting its organization in these four South Atlantic
states. While the quasi-public South Atlantic Mari
time Corporation will manage the ten ships assigned
to it, the South Atlantic Export Company will sally
forth and “get the business.”
It is the logical next step in the campaign to ,
bling the Southeast into her own. While some of the
same men are interested in the S-A-X—to use the col
loquial abbreviaiions of the street—as are behind the
S-A-M, thfe two corporations, it is understood, will ,
be entirely distinct. The S-A-M will handle ships con
fined exclusively to the trade with Latin America but
the S-A-X will undertake to divert to the “five ports”
trade for all parts of the world, Europe, Africa or
Australia. Both of them, however, are alike in that
they represent th'e public-spirited efforts of men to
make the “five ports’’ and the hinterland behind them
just as thriving as the rich territory around the North
Atlantic ports.
Matthew Hale, th > man who put both organiza
tions on thb map, is the guest of Americus this even
ing, and will tell the story of the two biggest shippers
of the community at a meeting at the Chamber of Com
merce. Americus men are already intersted in the
movement, but will be more interested after they have
heard Mr. Hale.

THE CRUX OF THE MATTER.
The senatorial fight over the ratification of the
Peace Treaty centers very largely around the provis
ion (Article X) of the Covenant of the League of Na
tion which requires that members of the League shall
“preserve as against external aggression the territorial
integrity and existing political independence of all
members of the League.”
Objections have been raised to other parts of the
Treaty, but the main contention of Senators who crit
icize the Covenant is that, unless Article X is radically
amended, it will seriously impair the authority of Con
gress, through its war-making power, to maintain the
sovereignty of the United States. The question,
then, is whether or not Article X will, in fact, un
amended, have such effect.
Manifestly, before a final decision can be reach
ed by the eLague on any question under Article X
the fact must be authoritatively determined as to
whether there is any real occasion for action; and,
if so, it must then be decided what the nature of such
action is to be.
The first paragraph of Article X of the Covenant
reads: “Except wh'ere otherwise expressly provided in
the Covenant, decision of any meeting of the assembly
or of the council shall require the agreement of all
of the members of the League represented at the meet
ing." From this it is clear that, whenever it is alleg
ed that one country is in danger of aggression from
another country, America will have the absolute pow
er. by means of the vote of its League members, to
decide against such complaint and so to kill the mat
ter at its very inception if it so desires. Then again,
even if this country should asquiesce in the fact that
danger or aggression exists,before there can be any
decision that America, or indeed any other member of
League, shall go to the assistance of the nation
threatened there must b e an affirmative vote by our
League members.
thus we not only have the power to keep our
own count: .’ out of war but w e can, if we think best,
also prevent ; 11 other nations from interfering with the
quarrel and let th? original disputants fight it out be
tween themselves.
Moreover, by the enactment of proper legisla-

* ROCKS AHEAD.
'J’HE country’s going to the deuce, and anarchy is
breaking loose. Whichever way we chance to
1 turn we find new ills, and threats to bum, and if
you throw a brick, by heck, you hit a crisis in the
neck. We hear such bunk, and bushels more, each
I morning in the soft drink store, where all the gray
beards congregate to mourn the sinking ship of state.
Cheer up.' We heard the same old gag before this
country had a flag; we heard it, or our fathers did,
ere Bill Tell shot a Gessler’s lid. They used to hear
the same old dope when Caesar was the Roman’s hope.
And Noah heard it when he sailed, that time the
drouth predictions failed. “Our garden’s going to
the dogs,” cried Adam, when he chased the hogs,
which had destroyed, with tooth and tush, the rhu
barb and the currant bush. Our distant prehistoric
sires, who had no chairs or comfy fires, but had to
roost around the trees, were guilty of the same old
wheeze. There always will be rocks ahead, and gob
lins dire and bogies dread, but our old ship of state
will glide to safety on the further side. So let’s
forget our doubts and fears, and order four denatured

tion regarding the appointment of our members of the
League Council and Assembly, and by prohibiting
them by law from casting their votes as to questions
arising under Article X except as authorized from time
to time by the Congressional Acts or special resolu
tions, we can prevent any interference whatever with
the war-making power of Congress.
Moreover, with modern cable and radio facilities,
Congress could at all times keep in such close touch
with its League representatives that the transmission
of instructions as to action to be taken by them would
involve no delay of any consequence.
The crux of the matter would therefore seem to be
not that Article X, or any other part of the Covenant
should be amended, but rather that the actions of our
members of the League Council and Assembly must at
all times be kept under the direct and absolute con
trol of Congress—they must be mere Congressional
mouthpieces, or automatons.
It is therefore clear that the Senate may, withou'
any danger whatever of a sacrifice of Constitutional
power by Congress, advise and consent to the rati
fication of the Peace Treaty without any reservations
or amendments whatever as to the Covenant of the
League of Nations, PROVIDED that Congress shall by
law retain full and absolute control over the American
members of the League Council and Assembly and shall
regulate and direct their votes at all times.
What Other Editors Say
THE VITALITY OF NICK CARTER.
————
The recrudescence of the “Nick Carter” books,
and the publisher’s happy announcement of the need
of new editions, has brought forth comment, most of
it pessimistic, from many groups of serious thinkers.
They also point to a similar rejuvenescence of the
works of the once widely popular Laura Jean Libby,
Bertha M. Clay, Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth and Au
gusta J. Evans. “Nick Carter,” says the Christian
Science Monitor, had become a “type of the detective
hero for juvenile readers; the others have become use
ful names for the critic of literature when he wishes
to suggest comparison with popular but rather unso
phisticated fiction."
But, have they ever really been in abeyance?
Is it not, rather, that a new generation has come along
in sufficient number to call for more and fresh copies?
The old ones, passed tenderly from hand to hand, have
literally been read to pieces. It is merely a case of,
supply hastening to catch up with a normal demand.
The human boy of any age from seven to seventy hasn’t
changed very much. His taste is about the same to
day as it was in the ’7os when these books began to
flourish.
And may we not ask, diffidently, whether there
has been anything in the more expensive output of
recent years that could rival the thrill of the old
dime novel? Many a luridly covered “Beadle” was
better in dramatic construction, more skilful in plot,
than its .$1.75 successor, and no less respectable in its
I English.
Has anything whatever happened to decrease the
normal audience for an Augusta J. Evans story? Are
i not the magazines full of precisely the same mush,
changed merely in the form of its service? Possibly
> the pessimistic critics fail to realize that there has al
ways been (and perhaps always will be) what may be
, called an esoteric and a general audience, and that
the dividing lines have not shifted materially. Howells,
• Henry James, Aldrich—these never appealed to the
' Laura Jean Libby millions.
If there has been any real change it is in the
r public which used to regard Ouida as its prophetess.
This class feeds today upon a more highly spiced
r diet—things that go as far as the law will let them
, toward salacity. salvos, salutes, flag-wavings,whistle-
> morals or taste. But we refuse to moan because of
- the proved vitality of our old friend “Nick Carter,”
or lie awake nights worrying about the vogue of
- “The Beautiful Cloak Model.”—New York Sun.

MI DRECO DID
Suffered For Years With
Stomach Trouble, Nervous
ness, Pains in Back and
Limbs, Dizziness and Con
stipation. All Gone Now.
“I have just finished taking a bottle of
Dreco, and it has made me feel so much
better and stronger that I can do all my
own housework," said Mrs. Lizzie New
berry, Lizzella, Ga., near Macon.
"Before I began taking Dreco,” she
continued, “I was in a terribly run-down
condition; couldn’t eat anything, hardly,
and didn’t sleep much. My trouble start-
C . several years ago, and although I
tried many different things, nothing pre
scribed for me seemed to do any good,
and I was almost a physical wreck.
‘After eating I would feel all bloated
with sour gas, and my heart would beat
so fast sometimes I would think it was
going to jump out of my body. This
made me very nervous and I was easy to
get excited. I felt so bad that I couldn’t
take any interest in things. Nearly every
day I would read in the newspapers
about what Dreco had done for others,
and many cases'just fitted my symptoms
exactly, so I talked the matter over with
my husband, and we decided to give
Dreco a trial. After a few days it began
to brace me up. and I knew I had at last
found the right thing my system needed.
"I am now so much better that I can
eat most anything I want, and as much
as 1 want, and do not feel any bad effects
at all. My husband says I sleep like a
log. and he can hardly wake me in the
mornings. I never have a headache now
and feel strong and well. I am delighted
with what Dreco did for me.”
When the liver, kidneys or bowels be
come inactive the system fails to throw
off the poisons, and slowly.' day by day,
we are weakening our bodies, till a break
down comes. Sometimes it takes the
form of the above case. Dreco causes the
organs to carry off these toxins and
waste matter and keep the system free of
these poisons.
Dreco is sold by all druggists and is highly
recommended in this city by
