The Allies demand that Ger-j
many disarm herself. The Allies
should have looked after such I
details a year and a-half ago, ;
when they had the joh in hand.
If freight congestion prevents
the moving of every known arti
cle of merchandise or utility,
what in the thunder are they
hauling?
A Macon blind man recently
shot his wife dead as she con- j
fabbed with two men who had j
been habitual callers. He was \
shooting by sound, and did not
miss the mark very far.
Savannah’s gain in population j
during the past ten years has 1
been over 27 per cent., the'
Forest City now having 82,0(57.
Savannah is the oldest city in the,
state, but in growth and com
mercial development is as vigor
ous as a lad of sixteen.
Vidalia is developing into a
great tobacco market, record
prices having been established
there last season. Thirf year’s
crop in Toombs county will doubt
less be up to a high standard,
and Vidalia will maintain her
supremacy as a market for this
section of the state. Tobacco is
profitable in this part of the state,
and is fast becoming a money
cron for farmers who formerly
planted cotton.
Again the Georgia legislature
is about to renounce woman’s'
suffrage, and it appears that the
mooted question will not be
settled on Georgia soil. This is
the second time Georgia has gone
on record with opposition to the
movement. Possibly the Georgia
delegation to San Francisco may
throw sumo light op the subject,
after having seen the political
prowess and feminine charm of
the numerous lady delegates.

The full result of the 1920
federal census wull be awaited
with interest. Most of the cities
show increase. In Montgomery
county for several years it was
customary to cut off the territory
faster than the population could
increase. But. thanks to present
c uulitions, one more cut would
get it all- unless it is found
necessary to make further coun
ties out of its half a dozen militia
districts.
There has been introduced in
this session of the Georgia legis
lature a bill increasing. the sal
aries of the judges of the superi
or courts of the state. The Geor
gia Bar Association recently went
on record as favoring the rotation
system of judges and their ap
pointment by the governor in
concurrence with the state senate. .
This is a good plan, and if adop- j
ted would relieve the bench of
politics. The idea of placing
solicitors-general on a fee basis
is also gaining considerable
strength in Georgia.
Profiteering may be almost j
universal, with little chance of j
curbing it in years, but as far as J
Georgia is concerned some action
could be taken by the Assembly.
The Fair Price Commissioner isi
laying great stress on the impor
tance of rent reduction. This
applies particularly to the cities,
of course. Authorities should
have the power to inquire into
the amount of capital investecPin
rented property and taxes paid
the state. Then, on the basis of
investment should taxes be paid
and rentals demanded. If a man .
demands over ten percent above i
investment, upkeepand necessary j
incidentals, there is something;
wrong. <
It is stated that a large number j
of colored citizens of Oklahoma
are desirous of locating a colony |
.in southern Mexico. Let them
go if they choose, but it will not j
be long before they will realize
that methods of making a living
in Mexico are different from any-1
thing they have ever experienced. j
The Mexican fights for a living,
and seems to exist. In the South j
the negro fights work, and he,
too, has always made a living.
But their methods are not at all
alike.

The Oregon State Medical As
sociation expresses the opinion
that much of what was called
appendicitis in recent years were
nothing more than plain old
stomachache in varying degrees
of intensity.-Southeast Geor

A Ivondoti writer says hens can i
be cured of the habit of eating
eggs by filing the tip of the beak
gently until near the quick. This
makes the beak for a time too
tender for breaking the shell,
and the habit is lost. But in
America we have an even simpler
and much better method. We
eat the hen.—Eastman Times-
Journal.

The Georgia Legislature met
in Atlanta on Wednesday of this
week. Let us hope that instead
of spending their time devising
ways in which more money can
Ibe saueezed out of the people,
they will reduce their appropria

McAdoo says that he will not
allow the use of his name as a
candidate at the San Francisco
convention and some of the lead
ers out there say they are going
to nominate him anyway. We
want to state right here that if
Mr. McAdoo is nominated he will
accept, but there is only a slim
chance for him to be nominated.

Hon. Geo. B. Davis of Dublin,
the South Georgia candidate for
attorney general of the-State

he worked when a young man,
and it is predicted that he will j
carry this part of Georgia.—

The Republican party lost much j
of its influence in Georgia when ;
it seated the Atlanta negro as a,
delegate to the national conven- i

! feelings of white Georgians.— j
