E D 1 T ORI A L S Praying For Rain Many congregations—and indi-l viduals—have engaged in prayers 1 for rain. Discussing Dr. Ashby ! Joneg' views on this subject thej Rome News says: Dr. Ashby Jones, prominent min ister in Atlanta who is well known and highly esteemed in Rome, does does not believe in praying for j rain, and is especially opposed to ; such prayers by edict of the Gover- I nor of the State. We feel pret- J ty much as Dr. Jones does about it, but hesitated to say so because I of the possibility that some of our ; devout church friends might mis- i interpret our position. We believe in prayer for almost any purpose, but, like Dr. Jones, we don’t believe that in the matter of weather God had been punishing the inhabitants of certain communities and reward- I ing other. And like Governor Peay, ’ of Tennessee, who declined to issue j a proclamation for prayers for rain, we believe rain is coming in the course of nature’s process and it may rain more than we wish. Then, to bo consistent, we must pray for dry weather. God knows best. What we can pray for with most assurance of response from the Divine Ruler is thaf we be giv en the wisdom to meet and utilize all conditions that arise through the operations of His rules of na ture, that we have the fortitude to undergo adversities of Provi dence without losing heart, that our minds be kept clear and our hearts pure in our dealings with our fel lowmen. We recall the story of an old Baptist minister who summoned his congregation one Sunday to engage in an hour devoted entire ly to Divine supplecation for a greatly needed rain. His flock gathered, but the old preacher was the only one who brought his umbrella- He declined to go on with the service, saying his flock did not possess the needed faith in their own prayers. , James B. Nevin, in the Atlanta Georgian, cites a somewhat simi-l ir incident in the following: A great congregation gathered j n one of the churches of Durham, N. C., on Sunday night last to pray I for rain. While the prayers were going up, the rain started coming down—in torrents. As the congre gation arose to depart—the rain still falling—it was discovered that not one among those present had brought an umbrella. Being Providence without a sense of hu mor doubtless would be a weary and melancholy job. It is the harsher things we suf fer in this life that causes us to ap-, preciate our blessings. The child ] which has never been denied' candy can appreciate it as does the kiddie who enjoys the sweets of Christmastide. There's a reason for everything] in life. But for the extremes in climate, as in other things, we would fail to appreciate our bless ings. ¥¥ ¥ ¥ Roosevelt and Wilson Monuments According to word from Wash-- ington, there is apt to be sorce sort of conflict in congress this fall over a proposed monument to the late President Roosevelt. The conflict, it is reported, will come because admirers of Presi dent Wilson think he should be given higher honors. Let's hope that this conflict never comes to a head. It would be highly regrettable. Roosevelt and Wilson were two fine Ameri- 1 cans, each worth of an inspiring monument. Surely, Washington is big enough to hold a memorial to each of them. ¥¥ * * Northern PropaGanda— A correspondent in the New York World recently made the diaim that the removal of the ne groes from the South to the North bad cost the South a billion dol lars a year "Maybe so,” re marks the V aldosta Times— “ But bank clearings and other statistics show that those who are taking the nqgro’s place in the South are bringing more than that much With them. In the long run the exodus of the negroes is go ing to be a good thing for the North, South and the negroes, too.” The World's correspondent > probably has gotten far enough away from Wall Stree.t to find out that the most prosperous part of the national is the South. And then, may be he has and is just shooting propaganda. We are likely to hear more of this sort of thing as the men and wealth continue to flow southward. ! Editorials From State < and National Press ! THE COUNTRY DOCTOR (Hampton County Guardian.) Os all unappreciated, neglected persons, the country doctor is prob ably the most. “God and the doctor we alike adore, Just on the brink of danger, not before. The danger past, both alike are re quired— God is forgot, and the doctor slighted.” is not merely a sentiment. It is an unfortunate truth. We rush off to the specialist, who takes one look at us, looks wise, and tells us, possibly, what is wrong with us. Then he charges us a fabulous fee for so doing, and goes his way) rejoicing while we hold our noses to I the grindstone to try to pay him. On the other hand, the country doctor calls us into his office and in vites us to have a chair and tell him what is wrong with us. To begin with, we all like to talk about our symptoms—it’s bred in human flesh —and so we warm to the country doctor at once. Then he takes a real, human, friendly interest in us. He is never too busy to listen to all our physical ills, and he offers us sympathy along with relief. Nor does he always rush to the medicine bottle, as, too many are prone to believe. Often he finds that our ills are not curable by medicine, and pre scribes a course of treatment which will truly benefit—a diet, a rest, of whatever it is we need. And we leave his presence feeling that we have been really benefited, where too often the specialist, however cap able he n.ay be, makes us feel that to him we are only “cases” and not hu man beings at all. And it does not matter how tired he is, or how badly he may feel himself, the country doctor will rise from his bed at any hour, drive through a blinding snow or beating rain, to come to our bedsides and give us re lief. So we say, all honor to him. He is the truest friend that humanity could have. ROUGH SLEDDING FOR ENGLISH TAX DODGERS (Selma, Ala., Times) Death is no surer anywhere than taxes are in Great Britain. The in heritance tax there would palsy the average American, and Americans holding property in England know the meaning of high taxes. The case of Harry Payne Whitney is an ex ample.: The American had been re sisting a British tax exaction cover ing four years. It was in the shape of sur-taxes and his appeal finally reached the House of Lords, where quick work was done for it. The ap peal was dismissed and Whitney has to fork over the sum. of $436,500. In England the great American institu tion known as tax-dodger has rough sledding. . ,13 SIMS SB A gentleman will not cuas before | ladies, not even when the ladies are too drunk to hear him.

STEWART NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Nov 24.—How ; many Americans can tell who repres- ( ents them in Congress? “Very few,” < answers A. D. Fairbairn, and he ( tells a story which sounds as if he i knows what he’s talking about. i I Fairbairn is a Washingtonian who . recently had occasion to take a trip 1 ; through 15 of the 48 states, and in the course of this journey accident ] started him on an investagation into . , the extent of the average man’s fam- > iliarity with political personalities. “Amazing ignorance,” is what he found, “in all walks of life,” he re- ( ports. i 1 ** ♦ i The accident which started him? J Well, while he was in Omaha it chanced that he needed to learn ] the name of the congressman from ’ the second Nebraska district. Taking ; it for granted that almost any local ! voter could tell him, he asked one. ' To his surprise, the voter didn’t ! know. He asked another. Neither, did the second one know.’ Curious by thistime, Fairbairn; kept on asking until he reached the j 26th, a hotel clerk, “who,” he says, ‘stretched his head, gave the matter about 3 minutes’ thought and then found, to his keen delight, that he actually could name Judge W. G. Sears”—and Sears, by the way, is a congressman of more than average distinction. Not to know who he is, in Omaha, is something like not know ing who Calvin Coolidge is in Wash ington. At that, the hotel clerk was un acquainted with Sears' politics. AMERICUS YiMES-RECORDER Mrs James G, Pearls of Dawson arrived yesterday and will be the guest of Mrs G. T. Miller and other , relatives for several days. Mr and Mrs John R. Shaw left yesterday for Atlanta where they I will spend the greater portion of the 1 week at the Exposition. i TEN YEARS AGO TODAY. (From The Times Recorder, Nov. j 24, 1915) Mr and Mrs Thomas Harrold and charming daughter, Miss Quenelle Harrold, went today to Hurtsboro, as guest of Mrs. Harrolds parents, Col. and Mrs. N. W. E. Long for Thanksgiving. Mrs Florence Hollis is expected to return tomorrow from a visit to Mrs Judson Hand at her home in Pelham Ga., Mrs Lawson Stapelton, Mrs W. J, Josey and Miss Mildred Hollis left today for Atlanta where they well spend several days pleasantly. Dr. Wade Chambliss left today for White Springs Fla., where he will spend ten days recuperating form his recent illness. Mr. Robert Fetner has come from Macon to spend the Thanksgiving holidays with his parents. I Mrs Lee Lansford is spending the ' week with relatives in Fort Valley . her former home. Mr and Mrs L. D. Lockheart and I Judge and Mrs W. M. Harper will spend Thanksgiving with friends and relatives in Dawson. Prof, and Mrs J. M. Prance an nounce the birth of a son who has been named Jack. ♦ * * His Omaha experience made such an impression on Fairbairn that he continued his questioning through out the rest of his trip. It led to his discovery of the fact that “the Omaha incident was not unusual but typical.” It was the same way about sen ators. As for cabinet members, Fair brian says he found hardly anybody who could name all of them cor rectly. ** * * Gobs on the cruiser, Trenton are quoted as Expressing disappoint ment that President Coolidge didn’t keep the wallaby they brought back for him from Tasmania, at the White Jlouse. Instead he turned the animal—a kind of small kangeroo—over to the Washington zoo. From inside sources comes the in formation that the wallaby smelled 'so the president couldn’t stand it. I It was pointed out to him that walla ; bies frequently are kept as pets in | Australia and Tasmania. That’s the . Australians’ and Tasmanians’ look- I out, replied the “presidential spokes man,” as for himself, there are limits to his olfactory endurance. The light in a pipe will show you the way through more things than getting lit yourself will. The best reflections comes from thinking instead of looking into mir i rors. Skirts were shortened because the woman hated to have them brush against gossips. >CP T|mE The rhythm and swing of the dances of yore are once again having their fling. The spirit is spreading the country once more, and the old-fashioned dance is the thing. It’s realy surprising how few people know the steps of the sweet I minuet. To tunes that are quanit-like, old-fashioned and slow, it s really quite simple to get. The real modern dances most likely will stay, for the young folks seem thoroughly sold. But waltzes and such have the right sort of sway that appeals, very much, to the old. In grandmother’s day, dancers mingled a bit, with the changing of partners in style. Community spirit is always a hit. The return of their dance is worth while. So, dance, if you will, in the present day swing, but give the old-timers a chance. In minuets, polkas and such, have your fling, for they’ll give you thrills, when you dance. ’ UNION HIGH HAS ] NEW TEACHERS I Miss Alice Moore Resigns and Is Replaced By Miss Frances j Johnson , I LESLIE, Ga., Nov. 24. —Miss II Alice Moore of Bainbridge who has i 1 given entire satisfaction to all con-1 cerned, resigns her place in Union I High school, while her resignation is I accepted with regrets, the school is indeed fortunate to be able to secure j another efficient teacher in her place.
