The Great Unknown
We sometimes think of the South
as the “.Great Unknown.” Her won
derful climate, -fertile soils,’ splen
did water, the pure and undefiled
Anglo-Saxon blood coursing through
the veins of Southern men and wo
men—how little the rest of the
World knows about this Great
Southland.
When the world knows the vast
advantages of this section, with its
comforts and possibilities, migra
tion TO the South will eclipse that
to, California and the West.
Tell the world about this section ■
and give adequate and fair home
seekers railroad rates and people will
flock here from North, East and
West and the South will boom as no
sectiop ever boomed before.
The proposed homeseekers rates
fjxed by the Southeas-tern Passen
t«r association have not met with
tlte approval of many papers in the
South. \
, sh a recent issue the Manufactur
crs-,Reeord speaks of the proposed
rates as “Dead Sea Apples,” saying:
.<■-
t “-As stated by us last week the
piop.osed homeseekers' rates as
sUg|test(?d. by the Southeastern
Passenger, association are worse
than Dead Sea apples which turn
tq ashes; they arc a delusion and
a snare; they are wholly unwor
thy of the railroad officials of the
South; they are discreditable;
they propose to give something
When prpetic'all.v they give noth
ing. '|p .yif-iualiy ignoring the ef
forts of those, who are seeking to
bring abouf. the right kind of
homeseekexs’ rates, .these railroad
officials are sowing seed for pub
lic hostility which will inevitably
rreact upon railroads and do
them great harm.”
The Constitution says this is mure
reactionary than progressive, and
will really defeat the very purposes
for . which homeseekers’ rates are
supposed to be offered. The rules
laid down are that tickets ar e only
pood from April to September and
arc to be for parties of five or more
traveling on one ticket, the tickets
being limited bo three weeks. These
rates really seem to promote sum
mer excursions at greater than the
normal excursion rates under the
pretense of abetting agricultural de
velopment.
Jules Verne
c
Recent marriage in Paris of a
niece of Jules Verne, the great
French imaginative writer, started
us thinking about his fantastic
scientific novels. Especially
‘'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under
the Sea.”
People frequently marvel that
Verne, born in 1828, was able to
picture the perfected submarine
boat of modern times.
As a matter of fact, there were
submarine boats long before Jules
Verne was born. In the Revolution
ary War some clever Yankees built
a submarine operated by oars that
worked in waterproof sockets. At
the front was a window. Hanging
near it, outside, was an explosive
mine.
The Yankees managed to get this
submarine out near a British frigat?.
One of the crew, inside, with his
arms thrust out through two close
fitting openings in the front of the
boat, tried to*screw th e mine to
th e side of the frigate. The mine
got loose, rose to the surface and
exploded, scaring the frigate crew
half to death.
Those early submarines, of course,
were very etude. But th e idea was
there, and all Jules Verne had to
do was imagine the idea in perfect
form. Admittedly, that was a tre
mendous and adniir-ible feat of the
imagination. But it as if
Verne had nothing except air to
draw from.
When he pictured, in fiction, the
perfected submarine, people laugh
ed at him—just as they laugh today
at visionaries who are capable of
conceiving the eventual general use
of the airplane.

BANK AMD BANKERS
Sometimes one hears of a man
losing a large sum of money
when it is stolen from its hiding
place, perhaps, in a coffee pot. an
old trunk, or some other place
that is not secure. Immediately
he is classified as a dumb-bell.
Again one hears of people los
ing money kept in their house,
when their home is destroyed by
fire.
Here are some things worth re
membering on the value of a bank
account.
It is a good thing to have con
j fidence in your banking institu-
I tion.
| Have you ever thought of it as
j anything more than a depository
I for idle, or surplus money?
' It is al] that and more. For
instance, some one has set down
in a series of crisp paragraphs
some of the benefits that are
yours if you have a bank ac
count—and the bankci's of the
South are constantly using such
paragraphs in discussing the sub
ject. > .
Here is what a bank, account
does:
It teaches economy. (
It helps your credit.
It stimulates your courage.
It guafds you against extrava
ance.
It gives you confidence In your
judgment.
It furnishes you the best re
receipt for your money you pi.y
out.
It creates business habits that
will increase your savings.
It protects you against person
al injury at the hands of robbers.
It enables you to get ahead
during the productive years of
, your life.
it provides you the means to
take advantage-of a good business
opportunity.
It provides you with the accur
ate and consecutive records of
all money paid out.
It enables you to pay your bills
with checks and avoid making
change.
It brings you into contact with
the best business men in your
Community.—Richland News.

JAY-WALKERS
Which is more to blame—auto
driver or pedestrian? Seems to bo
about 50-50, a case of pot calling
the kettle black, according to a
close checkup conducted in Milwau
kee. There it was found'that 54 out
of every 100 accidents were due to
carelessness of pedestrians and 46
were the fault of motorists.
In New York City it’s claimed
that 85 per cent of persons killed
in streets are jay-walkers.
Safety First campaigns are ditect
cd largely at auto drivers. Half of
the attention should go to the folks
on loot, for’their own .good.

NAP
An old rule prohibits members of
the House of Representatives in
Washington from having sofas or
lounges in their offices. Now and
then this is protested on the floor
or the House.
So many congressmen are asleep
mentally’ that we don’t see why
there should be any objection to
their taking a physical nap occa
sionally. In all seriousness, every
one should liefdown for at least 20
minutes after lunch, to give the
heait a rest and otherwise fortify
the health.

DOPE
Druff traffic is being curbed in
New Yory City, claims Dr. Carle
ton Simon. He’s special deputy po
lice commissioner at the head of the
force fighting cocaine, opium and
other narcotics.
‘The constant war on the diug
traffic is producing results,’’ he
claims. ‘‘The habit is not spread
ing as fast as it was.”
It’s easier to say than to prove,
that prohibition has increased the
number of dope fiends.

NECESSARY
Autos on farms are used chiefly
for business purposes, very little for
pleasure, according to queries made
by Uncle Sam. Farmers who were
interviewed claimed that from two
thirds to nine-tenths of the use of
their machines was for farm busi
ness.
The auto came in as a pleasure
device, a toy for grown-ups. Now
jt’s such a necessity that it's next
door to indispensable. That will be
the ultimate destiny of movies,
radio and .airplane.

COST
It costs the farmer an average of
S2OO to $290 a year to own and
operate an auto, reports the De
partment of Agriculture That in
.eludes depreciation, interest on in-
I vestment, etc.
Farmers will f'nd it interesting to
figure the comparative cost of keep,
ing a horse instead of an auto; .also
the comparative results,.

The Cowboy’s Haven has changed its tunc,
It ain’t no longer a rough saloon;
The barkeep’s gone, an’ a soda clerk
Is doin’ the barkecep’s former work
Os mixin’ drinks, an’ he does it slick,
Though the stuff is lackin’ its old-time kick.
• « »
With his pinto doin’ a hoochie-cootch,
Bad Eye Bill, full of bootleg hooch, >
Comes down the street; all at once he stops
At the Cowboy's Haven, an’ down he hops
From his horse’s back, an’ _with a yell
He rushes up to the bar, pell-mell.
“Gimme a„drink,” he says, says he.
The clerk says, “Certainly; what’ll it be?
A lemon soda—a glass of pop—”
Says Bill, “Lay off of that kind of slop!
A shot of hooch is my style of stuff,
• Gimme a drink or I’ll treat you rough.”
"Sorry,” the clerk says, kind of pale,
“We haven’t any of that for sale.”
“Gimme some hooch,” says Bad . Eye, loud,
“Or order yourself a first-class shroud.
“This prohibition has wrecked the land,
The western people has lost their sand,
What, I asks, are we coinin’ to
When, instead Os barkeep, there is—You!
“A ganglin’ gink with a pale blue eye.
Gimme a drink—an’ make it rye!
Gimme a drink, as I said before,
Or else I’ll' use you to wipe the floor.
I’m tough, I am, I’m the kind of a guy
The west was frill of before twas dry;
But now its glory has all departed;
Gimme a drink—for when I gets started—!’
At the goda-slinger he made a pass.
« There was a clatter of broken glass,
And something hurtled acrost the bar;
Followed a yell and a fearful jar
And the place was brimmin’ with legs an’ arms,
And shouts and curses and wild alarms,
Then out of the door a body flew
When Bad Eye Bill at length came to,
He shambled up to the ‘ganglin’ gink.”
“Mister,” fie asked him, “what’s YOUR drink?”
Says the soda clerk, with a smile sincere,
"My favorite tipple is ginger beer.”
Says Bill then, humbly, “I’ll take the same,
It sure sounds harmless and mild and tame,
But to judge by you, though your face is mild,
It’s fed to wildcats to make them -wild!
Did I say the west had lost its pep?
I takes it back, for you’ve put me hep
That it ain’t the kick in th e drinks he sells,
But the kick in a feller’s firsts that ..tells!”

ATLANTA TAX VALUES
JUMP FORTY MILLION
ATLANTA, Dec. 29 With the
city tax books closes for 1923 an
increase of approxim'dtoly §40,-
000,000 Ts assessed property values
will be shown, making §600,000 in
crease in the city’s revenue next
year, according to W. A. Hancock,
;-ity tax assessor.
Realty values in Atlanta which
were the basis for taxes in 1923
were §208,000, and the estimate of
Mr. Hancock amounts to nearly 20
per cent increase in values during
the year,
.It was predicted about two
months ago that assessment value
for next year’s taxes would exceed
values of the previous year by
about §30,000,000, but so rapidly
is the total mounting the assessor's
office confidently expects it .to
reach $240,000,000, Mr. Hancock
said.
City Tax Assessor J. C. Little de

BERNARH
MACFADDEN
It is doubtful whether any question
connected with the regaining or main
taining of health has aroused so much
interest and attention during the past
few years as has the subject of fast
ing. It has been discussed pro and
con, enthusiastically presented and en
dorsed, and as vigorously abused and
condemned. As a rule, medical ex
perts have said little or nothing in its
favor, and even those passages in med
ical works which might possibly be
construed into' favorable comment,
have been explained away or whittled
down so that- they could no longer
give comfort to the believers in the
doctrine.
It is well before I proceed to a pre
sentation of this subject to define the
true meaning of the word "fasting.'
To fast is totally to abstain from food,
cither liquid or solid. This does not
exclude the use of water. But abso
lutely nothing else, either liquid or
sodd, can be used in a true fast as its
• advocates understand the term. A
partial fast, therefore, is no fast at all.
The term may be used for convenience
sake but is a misnomer. One either
fasts, or he partakes of food, and
when he does the latter he cannot be
j said to be doing the former. ‘
| The first time the idea of the bene
-1 fits of fasting occurred to me was when
in my eager search for some natural
cure of disease. 1 turned to the lower
animals. I remember well the course
of reasoning that my youthful brain
followed. 1 said to myself: “Here am
I, struggling to attain health. I am
supposed to be a creature of superisJX
. intelligence, yet my efforts seem to Kj,
vain, while the dog and the horse, the
wild animals and the wild birds, seem
1 'to be healthy and strong all the time,
[ knowing nothing of the diseases which
make life so miserable.” Then it was
that I observed that, when there was
anything the matter with them, they
abstained from food, and it was this
•' fact that led me a little later, when I
1 was attacked with pneumonia, to have
the courage to go without food.
The animals do not desire food when
they are sick. Their unperverted in
' stincts lead them to refuse it, even
though it is urged upon them by the
higher (?) animal, man. As I further
studied disease, with this great fact
from the animal world in my mind, I
soon saw that when we were sick we
revolted at food just as the animals
, did. *
The logic, of the situation then be
came inexorable, and the whole mat
ter resolved itself into the following
simple propositions:
When animals are sick, they refuse
food. As soon as they are well, and
uot before, they begin to eat.
