CHASING THE
END OF THE RAINBOW
DOWN IN FLORIDA.
For several weeks we have heard
a great deal regarding the vast
opportunities that await every one
"down in Florida."
More than one Americus mer
chant lias had “the Florida Ibug ir. i
his bonnet." One merchant said to
us thd other day that he hail about
covered the state,. searching for a
location, but he came back.
“Rents are too high; there's a
dozen men for every one of those
opportunities; I’m staying right
here," he said.
Chasing the pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow has ever been
one of humanity’s failings. Oppor
tunity too often seems to lie just
beyond. Like the African slave, we
gaze afar, while trudging day in
and day out over a veritable field of
diamonds.
Following is a first-hand story
appearing in the Quitman Free
Press, one of the most ably edited
papers in the South:
Mr. Newton Aiderman, of
Quitman, who has recently re
turned, from a trip through Flori
da, says Florida is a wonderful •
place, but he thinks Brooks
county people make mistake in
leaving their home coiinty and
going there.
“In the first place,” says Mr.
Aiderman, “a man might not to
go to Florida unless he has a
good deal of money to invest, if
he’s broke here he would have to
go down there as a laborer and
jobs have to be hunted for and
several weeks may elapse before
he finds a place and in the mean
r.ftune living expenses are nigh.
"Undoubtedly there is money
and prosperity in FloridL; tour
ists come down and invest or
spend' money, the truck* crops
(bring in money. But I tried to
study the situation from both
sides and it is my honest judg
ment that the Brooks county
farmers who have land here will
do best to stay and all get to
gether and work for prosperity
here. We have got better! land,
than most Florida uand; we have
a better climate. I believe we
can raise .better truck. We can
make a trucking section and that
seems to me the thing to do to
take up some of our cotton lands
I do agree with the people who
say that if we put as much
■work, as much fertilizer and as
much boosting to our Brooks
county lands as those Florida
people use in their section, we
will make as great a success.
_. “J feel hopeful for the fu
! tuVe myself. 1 think it is a m,is-
■ take to talk hard times so much;
■ it-'makes us all feel that we are
• worse off than we really are. If
• we all have faith in our own
■ county and all work together for
' prosperity here I believe we can
. have just as much as people in
other sections that are really
less favored than ours.
t Mr Aiderman says Brooks coun
i ty land is better than Florida land,
and we believe that Sumer county
j land is superior to Brooks county
acreage.
i And we thoroughly agree with
■ Mr. Aiderman, when he says that
■ if -we folks of South Georgia will
put as much work, as much fertil-
i izer and as much boasting to our
lands we will make just t.s great
a success as the Floridian.
' , Opportunites are just as great in
. Sumter as anywhere else in the
; woVlti. it m i# h‘of thdland nor the
’ climate that niakes Florida. It is
! the men behind the land. It is cour
’ age and brains and a will to do.
THE NATION’S
NERVOUSNESS WILL
■ LAPSE INTO CALM.
; The war aroused us to emotion
al fury. It over-stimulated our en
doerpie glapds to supply us with
energy for fighting the war. It
left us with, an unbalanced glandu
lar system, nationally. That’s what
ha-ppens to the average neurasthen
ic. It is what has happened to our
nation.
You know of the nerv
"oua sleeper who hearing a neighbor
drop a shoe, waited for its compan-
| ion to fall, so he could go back t
i sleep.
; . The second shoe was put dowi
quietly, however, because the neigh
bor remembered the nervous wrec.
in the next room. Neverthless th
N. W .waited for the second, thud
and when it didn’t come for a lon
while, he called out:
, “For the love of Mike, when ar
you going to drop that other shoe?
The man whose nerves are dis
easeit —"on edge”—becomes chroni
ically apprehensive, watchful for
turn for the worse, expecting dis
aster.
The nervous victim fears and ex
pects additional troubles and com
j plications. With this expectant at
,* titudue, he invites what he ex
I pects. We create what we fear. 7
J neurasthenic, suffering from a com
I plication like Beard’s disease! be
. comes convinced that he has or
ganic heart trouble as soon a:> hi
gets a toucli, of intercostal (be
tween-thc-ribs) neuralgic pain
from indigestion.
An imaginary ailment is worst
than the real thing.
All of which is as true of nation
as of individuals. Right now Amer
ica is recovering from a neuras
thenic or nervous condition, jsaftde
mie, in which we are
—constantly imagining that we arc
on the verge of disaster. Hence
crisis after crisis threatens, thougl
it never materializes.

of them. That’s the law more

FORMING FAIRS IN CHATHAM
With the announcement by the.,
agricultural .committee of the Sa
vannah Board of Trade that a
company may be formed to buy
and operate farm lands in Chat
ham county new agricultural im
petus has been given this terri
tory.
Already in various parts of the
country co-operative selling of
farm products is going on in
view of getting better prices for
produce.
Everything modern tends to go
toward the co-operation. Things
that used to be made under a
single roof are now manufactur
ed at full speed in large quanti
ties by large co-operative bodies.
Big fortunes are made.
1» not Chatham county’s ac
tion in buying a big co-operative
farm an innovation for the best?
It will certainly be a step in de
veloping Chatham county agri
culturally.
It is proposed, by Courtney;
Thorpe, chairman, that SIQO,-
000 be spent on this at the pres
ent time. Later much more may
be given in case the movement
proves a success. With scienti
fic and co-operative methods on
a large scale, success is assured.

AMERICAN BANDITS AS BAD
AS CHINESE THUGS.
American bandits are as bad
and perhaps even worse than the
Chinese bapdits, or those of oth
er nations. America is so accus
tomed to reading of a hold-up
and a murder and robbery there
as to give little attention try the
daily reports. Foreign troubles
of this "kind get widespread at
tention—some people even talkefl
of war when a bunch of Chinks I
derailed a train and captured a
lot of tourists. When a train is
held up in the United States
the newspaper readers wonder
how much was the loot and turn
to the sports page Florida
Times-Union.

Health
I Hints
by the
Father of
j Physical
Culture
The question of the time for going
to sleep, and the length .of time for
sleeping, are so i:upt>:ta:V that they
need Special emphasis.'/ For reasons
which no one neatly understands, the
body is able to recuperate much more
perfectly before midnight, the sleep is
more profound, the respiration deeper,
the oxygenation of the blood more per
fect. It has been said that burglars
prefer to do their work early in the
night for the reason that the occupants
of the house are less likely" to
ar that time than in ..the hours aM
proaching dawn. At any rati?, the vast’
experience of the whole human race
has so thoroughly demon ’rated the
greater value of early‘.e..vct?ing slum
ber that it has become proverbial tp
ray that two hours of" leep before
midnight are worth four hours after.
A man may sleep the same number
of hours, be it eight or nine, but if he
goes to bed at twelve or one o’clock
and gets up at eight o? nine, then he
does not feel rested or refreshed the
same as he would if he went to bed at
nine and arose at five or six in the
morning. That tired, languid feeling,
that weakening sense of lassitude,
rhould show only too clearly that his
l-.ody has not properly recuperated
from the drains made upon it the day
and the night before.
And besides it is just as easy to shift
the waking and sleeping hours ahead
two or three hours, to go to bed some
where near the end of the day and to
.-•t up at the real beginning of the day.
In my Encyclopedia of Physical Cul
ture I point out that overwork is an
iher fairly common form of dissipa
tion, innocent though it may seem to
devote oneself faithfully’ to "good
.onest work." Overwork, however,
• uch as those who are guilty of it may
tndeavor to excuse it, is as futile as it
disastrous in its consequences. One
.my plead the pressure of necessity,
I m at the same time- he fails to sec
■ '.•at in exceeding the normal limita
-.cr.s of his expenditure of physical en
'.;gy he is only defeating his own pur-
se. Instead of recognizing that he
■ annot do good work if he labors in a
. "idition of fag, instead of realizing
• , it is best to accomplish just so
; rSective work each day and
keeping it up day after day without
; jv failing of his strength, he con
sumes himself in a short time trying
t - double his productive power and
t.scn finds himself in such a condition
cf collapse ’hat he cannot do half of
a normal day's work, perhaps cannot
e.ven accomplish anything.
