THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1922. BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE. The splendid people of Uvalda, Seward and Charlotte school districts in Montgomery county evidently believe that good schools arc the best investment they can make for their home commu nity. They have just voted overwhelmingly in favor oi having a large consolidated school to be located at Uvalda. and the plans they have in mind look to making this school one of the best in the county. The plan of consolidating a number of small schools into one large school has been tried out in hundreds of communities and has always proved satisfactory, the stimulus of a large school, of bet ter teachers, being so gratifying in results that neither pupils nor parents would go back to the old way. We are sure this will be the experience of the people in these three districts and we congratulate them heartily and sincerely over the steps they are taking for the upbuilding of their communities. A GREAT VISION. In an address to the farmers of the state, re viewing the effort which has been made to estab lish a state port and terminals in Georgia this year, Mayor Murray M. Stewart of Savannah tells the farmers that the effort to establish a state port is their light and that once established these termi nals will prove a great boon to the agricultural in terests of the state. We quote from the address in part: "At the State Port and Terminals, which are to be de signed primarily to serve the needs and welfare of the farmers of Georgia, adequate provision will he made for the warehousing of your products in a safe and cheap way. Tor your perishable outputs there will be cold storage facilities furnished whereby you can become a livestock. gfrower and meat shipper, an industry our state is pecu liarly adapted to, and which all students of our agricultu ral conditions realize we must turn to in a large way to offset, the devastation of the boll weevil and to maintain our position as a wealth producing commonwealth. Ihe facilities for the storage and shipping of grains will be such as to promote their cultivation in Georgia on a scale hitherto undreamed of. The expenses of warehousing and handling these and all other farm commodities will he so minimized in the interest of the producing farmer that he will enjoy hitherto unknown and undreamed of advantages in the worldwide marketing of his products. "This is a vision, hut it is the vision of practical, hard headed men, who have seen and studied what has been accomplished elsewhere along these lines, and who know beyond question that so great a state as Georgia can sur pass what has been done elsewhere. The results of sim ilar state ports and terminals in other sections demon strate most conclusively that a Georgia state port and ter minals, constructed under the plans of an expert port en- . gineer, can he made, if properly located, self-supporting as to operating expenses and provide for its sinking fund and the payment of its bond interest charges. The selection of the site for such a state port and terminals should be placed in the hands of a hoard of competent engineers and commissioners whose sole purpose will he to protect and promote the interests of Georgia. There is no reason why a modern plant of this character should entail one dollar of expense upon the taxpayers of Georgia. To the con trary, it should pay for itself and in the end prove a source of great and ever increasing revenues to the state." *TTtTttTTtTTtTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTt-i ( !* * ’ RESOURCES $650,000.00 <> < > ' <« • * •. |! ~ ! <1 _ || |i We offer to our depositors, scrength, ! i| security and service. | More than 2000 satisfied customers, f ii We invite you to join us.

The sale next Monday at the farm of Rich mond & McArthur near Ailey of pure-bred Duroc sows and gilts should be largely attended by farm ers in this section and we hope to see the majority of the hogs that are sold stay in this territory. This firm is one of the pioneers in the raising of pure-bred hogs and they are doing a great work in routing the piney-woods rooter and in aiding the farmers to improve the strain of their herds. The farmer who goes in to raise pure-bred hogs will find they will make him two dollars where a scrub hog would make him only one. x BEATING THE BOLL WEEVIL. With cotton receipts in towns in this section double for the month of August what they have ever been, and with farmers reporting very satis factory yields from early planting, there is a feel ing among farmers in this section that the boll wee vil can he whipped, and tfye best informed farmers believe that in a few years little will be heard of the ravages of this pest in South Georgia. Gratification with the yield, satisfaction with the price of cotton, and disastrous results in hun dreds of cases where farmers have sought a sub stitute money crop, makes it apparent now that the acreage of cotton in this immediate section will be largely increased next year. The hard years seem to have taught the farmers the wisdom of raising their own supplies, and feed supplies will come in for a good acreage, while hogs, cattle and poultry will he given more and more attention. Agricult urally and in every other way South Georgia is coming back strong. SOME FACTS ABOUT THE ELLIS HEALTH LAW. The Georgia State Board of Health recently issued the following statement regarding the work of the Kllis Health Law in Georgia since the adop tion of the law in 1914: The Kllis Health haw was adopted by the General As sembly of Georgia in 1914. Since then about thirty coun ties, through the two necessary grand jury recommenda tions, have made the provisions of this law operable. About 50,000 school children receive medical inspection each year through the operation of this law. About 5,000 with handicapping defects receive corrective treatment. The Commissioners of Health, operating under the El lis Health I.aw, gave free of charge 85,000 doses of anti typhoid vaccine in 1921. East year 6,679 sanitary privies were installed by the Commissioners of Health. Typhoid, dysentery, hookworm and summer diarrhoea of infants will not be controlled by any other method in the rural districts. There is annually in Georgia a great sacrifice of hu man life on the altar of indifference. During 1921 798 deaths were caused by typhoid fever, 415 by dyphtheria, and 4<>B by malaria. 1230 infants under two years of age -died of dysentery and diarrhoea. During their hours of heroic effort to establish a new life in this world more than 500 would-be mothers made the supreme sacrifice. These and many other lives should, can, and for the most parr will lie saved if well organized health depart ments, well manned by a well equipped personnel, are es tablished under the Kllis Law in each county of the state. Cost? This will in dollars and cents he about one tenth of the actual amount it will save the people. We believe that one of the finest investments .;> n v countv can make is to have a well organized health department. The counties of Treutlen and Montgomery and Toombs could unite for the or ganization of such a department, the counties be ing considered as a unit, while the expense would he prorated. Many of the larger counties of the state cover a larger area than these three counties and serve a greater population. By working to gether these three counties could secure all the ben efits of the health work at one-third of the expense entailed where each county has its own health de partment .
