The Election
With five good men to select
from, all able, loyal and conserva
tive, the voters of the city yester
day found it difficult to make a
choice between the five, as the close
vote demonstrates.
One of the five had to go down
in defeat, not because he was less
able than another, but simply for
the reason that only four could be
nominated.
Nominations Tuesday guarantee
to the city an exceptionally able
eouncilmanic body for the ensuing
year.
1 Cotton Mills
Every day it becomes more con
clusive that the eyes of the textile
men of the East now are on Geor
gia. Eventually practically every
pound of cotton will be milled iu
the South.
For years the textiles have been
locating in the Carolinas. Those
states now are reaching the point
of saturation. The potential labor
supply is about exhausted. Avail
able hydro-electric current is not
so easily secured.
It is Georgia’s day. Unlimited
power and labor are attracting the
attention of investors of the East
to the Empire State. However,
they know only NORTH GEORGIA.
That South Georgia has epnal pos
sibilities, is ..not generally believed
by Eastern capitalists.
Then, too, they have an. idea that
all of South Georgia is
with malaria.
The South Georgia county that
iirst proves to the world that it
HAS NO malaria, will stand out
head and shoulder above all other
South Georgia counties,
The textiles are coming. Rid
Sumter of malaria and Sumter, will
take the lead.
Just Pals
How well do you know that*son
of yours? That’s important. But
more essential is—
How well does HE know YOU?
The finest friend and comrade
that a good man ever had is a son
who loves and trusts him, who is a
good pai through and through.
Those words we ran across in the
following poem clipped from an
exchange by an anonymous author:
Father And Son
There is joy in great achieve
ment fairly won,
And a man well rejoice in the
good that he has done,
But no honor brings such happi
ness,
And nothing can 1 so greatly bless
As the compliment God pays him
When He gives a man a son
Other friendships may be sweet,
other comrades fine and true
And encouragement from others
help in what he tried to do,
r>ut the finest friend end com
rade
That a go god man ever had
Is a son who loves and trusts,
him, who’s a good pal
through and through.
And the faith and love ans) co( /
fidence a fellow gives his bad
,In an urge to higher living end
to turn from alll that’s bad
so him no hero is so great
No one he cares to emulate’
Like the man he trusts and hon
ors proudly calls his Dad.
There is great joy in achieve,
merit, m doing well whatever wo
undertake; a.nd yet, that joy is
small in comparison to the joy of a
real, little he-man for a son.
You mav give' him monev—and
spoil him. You may gratify his ev
ery wish for things to use in play
—and spoil hi.m
But if you are generous with
YOUR time, giving to him some of
those hours each day, both you and
he will be happier and better men.
The greatest compliment that
boy can pay his dad it to call him
look on him as a PAL.
Queer Accidents

These strange incidents, reported
by the National Committee for the
Prevention of Blindness, are re
minders of the uncertainty of life.
Fortunately, the masked dangers
are few and far between. Never
theless, the improbable occasional
ly happens.
It is comparatively easy to
dodge the common dangers of
life. All that’s needed is petrsonal
caution, along with a few 1 of the
safety devices with which mafn tries
to make this a fool-proof world.
There is cause for surprise when
a Swiss cheese explodes, but nut
when a train strikes an auto. The
train rarely leaves the track to hit
any one.
Avery Hopwood, the playwright,
once took a steamer trip up a Chi
nese river. His cabin was shared
by a fussy young Englishman who
was constantly, fumigating and dis
infecting—using every known pre
caution to dodge Chinese plagues.
Despite all this, the Englishman
contracted smallpox, while the less
careful passengers escaped. How
do you explain? Fate?

WHAT GOOD ROADS MEAN
“Good roads for me because
where you find them you will
find other progress in the same
proportion.”
A gentleman was traveling
through the South proposing to
locate himself and a few hun
dred people with him. He trav
eled in a car and made many
side trips so that he could get
an idea of the roads of the
various counties he visited. He
paid not the slightest bit of at
tention to farm lands or any
thing else much. But he got all
the dope he wanted from the
roads. Thomasville Times-Enter

LET THE OTHER FELLOW PAY
The fellow who pays the ad
vertising bill is the nonadver
tiser, says an exchange. He pays
it just as surely and certainly! as
if he went to his cash drawer
rnd took the money out. The
only difference is that the cus
tomers dollars, instead o fgetting
into his cash drawer, pass right
out by him and enter the cash
drawer of the advertiser. He is
paying for the other fellow’s ad
vertising but is not being bene
fited by it. Many ncn-adver
tisers have often wondered who
paid the large advertising bills
of their competitors, not realiz
ing that they themselves were
paying most dearly for it. Why
not stop paying the advertising
bill of your competitor and let
some other fellow start paying
for your advertising through the
loss of business. Brunswick

LIVING AT HOME
W. T. Anderson, editor of the
Macon Telegraph, adressed the
Dalton Civitan Club along the
lines of civic and economic con
versation. He emphasized the
point that Georgia should and
could live at home and board in
the kitchen and quoted statistics
to show that Georgia has in the
past largely depended upon oth
er sections for much of the food
consumed within her borders,
which was wholly unnecessary
when the natural rdhources of
the state are considered. Mr. An
derson included eugenics in his
discussion and stated that while
the improvement of live stock
and plant life were being con
sidered the uplift and improve
ment of the human race along
physical lines would not be
slighted.—Brunswick News.
OPTIMISM
One of the most urgent and
compelling reasons for a well
founded optimism is the fact that
one event is not the result of
one cause but of a combination
of causes. Hence it becomes
impossible to get together again
that same combination of causes.
Past failures should teac-h cer
tain broad principles, just as the
child who burned a finger learn >
that fire will burn.
He who has been through fail
ures can approach the new tasK
knowing that the same set of
circumstances encountered in the
previous failure will not be en
countered this time. In addition
he will have the advantage of
the lessons learned from 'he
previous failure.
It is optimism of this type, and
not the Pollyanna variety, that
breeds men and women who know
how to wrest success from seem
ingly difficult chances. Way

THE SPORT
May fate give me power
In playing or working,
Each day and each hour
To strive without shirking;
To get without grabbing,
A fair spirit showing—
To lose without crabbing,
To win without crowing.
I ask for fair chances
A field with no favor,
Where he who advances
Is stronger or braver.
Where there’s no repining
At how things are going,
Where loses aren’t whining
An winners aren’t crowing.
The sport is the fellow
Who plays without cheating,
Who doesn’t show yellow
When given a beating;
Who’ll take without sighing
The luck that is showing,
Who’ll lose without. crying
And win without crowing.

How France Paid Her War Debts As
Compared With Germany’s Present Attitude
S'% 1± *:■
It is now revealed that the es
cape of the former Crown Prince
of Germany from his island of ex
ile in Holland was not an “escape”
at all, but was sanctioned by the
present German government and
by the Dutch Government itself.
That this may pave the way for fur
ther complications is entirely prob
able. It points an effort to re
store the Hohenzollern dynasty to
the German throne, and in that
event will mean that the Ger
mans will not pay any reparations.
In this connection it is worth
while to compare the diligence and
good faith with which France paid
the indemnity levied upon her by
Germany, following the Franco
rrussian war of 1870, and the evas
ion of the Germans now.
According to the treaty of Frank
fort France had to pay to Germany
a war indemnity of five billion!
francs, and Germany stipulated
that her armies would occupy 20 to!
83 French departments, untiy pay
ment was made in full.
How did Germany act at that
time?
According to Article 7 of the
Frankfort treaty, 500 million
: francs— 10 per cent of the indem
nity—were to be paid 30 days af
ter the re-establishment of the
French Government’s authority m
Paris; 1 billion francs during the
year 1871; 500 million francs on
May Ist, 1872; the last billions
before March 2nd, 1874.
The occupation of French terri
tory was scheduled as follows:
1— Up to June 15th, the occupa
tion forces were to consist of 500,-
000 men and 150,000 horses.
2 After payment of the first
half billion francs, 150,000 med
and 50,000 horses.
3 Later on, the occupation
forces were to be reduced propor
tionally to the payments down to
50,000 men and 18,000 horses
which would stay until payment in
full.
The evacuation was to proceed
gradually in accorda.ece with the
above plan, in the following order:
I—Evacuation of three repart
ments after payment of the. first
half billion francs;
2.—Evacuation of four depart
ments and of the forts around Paris
a s soon as the German government
would consider public order re
stored to a sufficient extent to
make sure the filfillment of the
treaty obligations, or, at any rate,
after payment of the third half bil
lion ;
3—The other departments would
be occupied, as a guarantee, up to
the time of payment in full.
However after January/ Ist,
1872, Germany refused to reduce
the occupation forces. In Novem
ber 1872, three months after hav
i ing received a sum of 500 million
francs which was not due before
March 2nd, 1874, and which com
pleted one-half of the war indem
nity (2 1-2 billions), the Germans
evacuated .two departments, but
: the 18,000 men occupying these
i territories did not leave France.
I They were transferred in four oth
! er departments still occupied, and
as there were no baracks for them,
the French Government had to pay
for the building of new wooden
barracks.
I After the evacuation of the last
i four departments on August 2nd,
; 1873. 50,000 men were to remain
| in France; if they did not it was
! simply because the German mili-

Verdun and on the the Verdun-

It is plainly seen:
1— That Germany strictly pro
portion" ’ation and occupa
tion to the paym-u.o:
2 That Germany troops eva
cuated French territory only after
the war indemnity had been paid
in full;
3 That France paid that indem
nity with in 2 1-2 years after the
signature of the peace treaty and
six months before the date set by
said treaty.
Now, whst did happen after the
war of 1014-1918?
I—On January 10th, 1920, the
Versailles treaty being in force, the
strength of the Allied forces in
German occupied territory was
1132,375 men:
French army 95,000 men
American army 12,315 men
British army 9,530 mem
Belgian army 15,530 men
Total x 32,375 men
Cn June 15th, 1871, Germany
kept in France 500,000 men ana
150,000 horses. In comparing
these figures, the difference be
tween the size of the armies in
1870 and in 1914-18 should not be
lost sight of.
2—Four years after the signa
ture of the Versailles treaty
