A THOUGHT
This is a faithful saying, and
worthy of all acceptation, that
Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners; of whom I am chief.
—I Tim. 1:15.
We are all sinful; therefore,
whatever we blame in another
we shall find in our own bosoms.
—Seneca.
THAT CAPTOL REMOVAL
ISSUE BOBS UP AGAIN.
The other morning mere appear
ed m the Macon Telegraph a sign
ed editorial by Nelson Shipp that
Macon had abandoned her capitol
removal fight which has appeared
perennially, for a generation or
longer, that editorial, concluding
with this broad minded and heart
ening declaration:
“Let Atlanta keep the capitol,
and God bless her.”
We were just on the point* of
feeling easy that we had heard
the last of this question when
along comes Ben J. Fowler, one
of the representatives from Bibb
county in the legislature, who up
and says the issue is by no means
a dead one, and that he expects
to introduce into the next session
a bill providing for a direct vote
of the people on the question.
To bring on more talk, this sanv
representative charges, if press re
ports be true, that the Telegraph
editorial was written as a result
of a trade made in the recent elec
tion for a United States senator.
Now, the Telegraph assumes full
responsibility for the signed ar
ticle of its editorial writer and
closes an editorial in this morn
ing’s paper with the statement
that—
“As we feel about it and inter
pret the attitude of the people
of the state and of Bibb county,
the horse is dead, and. no amount
of bellowing wiil make him again
stand‘on his feet. The only way
we can be convinced any differ
ently is for the people of Bibb
county to vote the three million
dollars in bonds to erect a new
capitol. Let’s try it out on that
basis, and see whether or not Mr.
Fowler is' really authorized and
expected to keep up the fight;—
money talks?'
As the folks generally view this,
the capitol removal question has
been the cause of our legislature
wasting a lot of the people’s mon
ey and time to the neglect of more
important legislation.
Just at this time we do not be
lieve the voters of the state will
approve of more debt being heap
ed upon the people just to gratify
the folks in Macon, or any other
city for that.
We believe with the Telegraph
that “The Horse is Dead.” In fact,
we doubt if Old Dobbin ever real
ly lived—cutside the imagination
of the people of Bibb.
DID YOU HEAR
EXPLOSION FEB. 27?
Astronomers announce that an ex
plosion, probably the greatest in
our history, took place Feb. 27 out
among the stars. Beta Ceti, a star
of the “second magnitude” or bril
liancy, suddenly flamed up and be
came one of the brightest stars—
'technically known as “first magni
tude.”
What the astronomers really
mean, is that the explosion took
place 80 years ago and that it be-,
came visible to us Feb. 27.
Beta Ceti is so far away from
our earth that it takes light, travel
ing 186,300 miles a second, 80
yeapp.Ao reach us. In other words
when we look at this star, we see
it< as it existed‘in 1843.
What is it like now? No way of
knowing until 80 years hence, in
the year 2003.
A man 10 feet from you looks
up and sees you at a certain in
stant. Father away, 100 feet be
hind him, another man looks up at
identically the same time. But the
second man sees you a fraction of
a second latc r than does the first
man, since it takes the light waves
a fraction of a second longer to
reach him. The fraction is infini
tesimaly small, of course. It in
creases with distance.
You’ve noticed a similar pheno
menon if you ever looked out at
sea and saw smoke come from a
canuon before you heard the re
port of the explosion. The explana
tion here is that light waves travel
faster than sound waves.
When you look up into the sky
at night, you see the stars as they
are today but as they were at vari
ous times in the past. The time
depends on their distance. Suppose
there Were people living on Beta
Ceti.
There couldn’t be, as we under
stAU(i things, because of the in-
tense heat up there. But just sup
pose. And suppose, also that an
astronomer on Beta has a telescope
powerful enough to enlarge our
earth Sufficiently to see what’s go
ing on here.
Since it takes 80 years for light
waves to travel between our earth
and Beta Ceti, that astronomer is
seeing, wfiat happened on earth 80
years ago. It would be the year
2003 before he could see what is
happening here today.
Apply the same idea to more dis
tant stars, and people on them
would be peering through their
telescopes today watching the Bat--
tie of Waterloo, the building of the
pyramids, funeral of King Tut—
and so on, according to distance.
This is what Einstein has in
mind when he says that time will
impress you that in the universe
there is not really any present,
past or future. All is an Eternal
Now. Time is a delusion of our
senses. A light-wave-image, of
everything we do, travels on for
ever into space. All eternal.
A SUGAR FAMINIE
THIS YEAR
A sugar famine this year? Not
unless housewives stampede and
create a shortage by stocking up
with a hundred or so pounds for
each family. Remeber, that’s what
started the sugar shortage sever
al years ago and shot the price up
around 30 cents a pound.
Cuba this year will produce
about 197,000 tons fore sugar
than last year, according to the
leading sugar trade authority,
Guma-Merjbr. The European
beet sugar crop will total nearly
400,000 tons more thafi in the
1 921-22 season. In America we
arted 1923 with ‘‘wartime size”
of sugar in storage
over...iient report. Much depends,
of course, on the size of the 1923
American crop.
But Cuban sugar is the main re
gulator of what we pay for sugar.
And the supply of Cuban sugar for
this year “appears to be practically
the same as was available in 1921,”
says the market letter which the
American Sugar - Refining Co. sends
to its customers.
In 1921, five to eight cents a
pound was considered a good
wholesale price for refined sugar
here in the United States.
It’s to get at the truth about
the suga r situation, for it’s an in
dustry of highly complicated statis
' ties. Let’s take a bit of unfavor
able news and analyzp it:
The American Eugar Refining
Co., estimates that the surplus
stocks of Cuban sugar around the
first of the year 1923 were 1,129,-
000 tons less than a year before.
Half of this decrease is counter
acted by the 192-23 gain in Cuban
„n European sugar production.
And it’s reasonable to expect
that most of the balance will be
canceled by the fact that Ameri
cans this coming summer will make
less home-made wine than last
summer and the one before. The
enormous increase in the amount
of sugar used by Americans, dur
ing the last few years, has been
due mainly to home-made wines.
Fifty pounds of sugar doesn’t look
like much to a cellar chemist. Wine
making is on the wane. . . “Too
much trouble, not worth the fuss.”
We dig into the newspaper files
and in 1920 find Edgar Watkins,
counsel fo r the Southern Grocers’
Association, quqoted as saying
“Refinery prices for sugar the first
four months of this year ranged
from 14 to 18 cents a pound, while
most brokers quoted them at 27
and 30 cents a pound.”
As you’ll recall, sugar led 11
other commodities when it came to
speculation and exorbitant prices.
During the sugar “famine,” the law
of supply and demand was tem
porarily repealed. ' The surest,
quickest way to play into specula
tors’ hands is to buy a lot of sugar
and store it in the attice.

That he will not waggle his head and

But will smile and answer you, old

In the tangy words of your native

It makes a stranger feel less forlorn
To chatter awhile *with the native

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT’S
HOME A TRAINING SCHOOL
MITCHELL, S. D., March 10.—
Eight young women students of the
home economics department Dakota
Wesleyan University here have been
“running” the home of President E.
D. Kohlistedt for two months as a
part of their regular training.
One of the requirements of the
state law giving state aid to high
schools with home economics courses,
is several months experience on the
part of college graduates, looking to
positions in these high schools, in
the actual conduct of a home.
Dakota Wesleyan has no home
practice cottage, so President
Kohlstedt offered the use of his
home for the two-month period.
. Everything in connection with
management of a home is handled
by the young women. They handle
the financial end. contributing their
own share for board and room, as
well as “assessing” President Kohl
stedt fo r maintenance of himself and
'amily.
Clean your oil mop with hot

7/ie One Man-Woman
By Ruth Agnes Abeling
As the letters fell apart in her
lap, Kate recognized that all except
the first one were in her own hand
writing. Dan had every letter she
had written to him during the short
period of their separation! The
thought thrilled her. She knew from
that how he must have cared.
• She picked up the first envelope,
the one adressed in his own scrawly
handwriting to her.
It began simply, as his letters al
ways did:
“DEAR KATHERYN:
“I know that some day, some how,
you will learn of the girl called Al
ice. And I have the same faith, that
in that hour, a kind' fate, your fore
sight, intuition—call it what you
may—will lead you to this letter.
“My sin was that of indulgence,
with another weakness. There is no
need here for details of the girl’s
story. In fact, Ido not know them
myself. There is just this which mat
ters to you and me—l was drunk,
beastly drunk —while you were away
for your summer vacation in 1920.
When I sobered I found Alice with
me. She told me of her two-and-a
half-year-old child, of her straitened
circumstances. I supported her for
one summer in my lodge in the
woo d — s because it seemed to be the
only thing to do.
“At such time as this letter falls
into your hands, I shall have no fur
ther reason to lie to you Alice
never meant anytning to me. I ex
acted nothing of her. I want you
to know that and believe it, because
I love you.
“You have r aised my conception ot
womanhod to a pinnacle from which
a thousand lesser women should be
unable to drag it. And I have tried
to be worthy of my conception—
though I dare not aspire to worthi
ness of its creator.” _ j;
The note was signed simply “Dan ,
and closed quite as abruptly as it
began.

New Scheme For Southern Capi

Worth While
MIAMI, Fla., March 10.—South
ern capitalists have found a new
scheme to use golf to advantage.
Golf his become so fast in the
last 10 years that its devotees are
numbered in the millions.
When a golf enthusiast figures
building or buying a home he
ictely gives thought as to the
accommodations in his locality. ”
Therein lies the big idea of south
ern capitalists who have invested
their money in real estate. Through
out the south, Florida in particular,
when some :big real estate venture is
planned involving millions of dollars,
the location of golf course is given
first consideration. ,
In Maimi three big allotments
have been plotted in the last two
years. Each boasts a beautiful golf
course that is completed and being
used, despite the fact that many
other features of the allotment are
just being started.
In the south realtors work on the
theory that men in a position + o pay
big prices for real estate must have
their golf. The idea is getting great
results .in the south.
