effort to free itself form the Fed

is with its cattle on account of the

complete campaign of eradication
as to be able to complete the work
this year.
There will be competent speak

the advantages that always grow
out of tick eradication, and no
doubt there will be a lew prpsent.
who are opposed to the eradication
of the cattle tick beense they have
not fully informed themselves of

matter. Every body is invited to
come to this meeting as it is desir

county so that it can be placed be

Those in position to know are
very well agreed that if all the peo

Let The Call Come
The Georgia State College of
Agriculture will conduct at the sec
ond district agricultural school, Tif
ton, Ga., from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2nd
inclusive, four days of agricultural
lectures and demonstrations. They
will be full of interest to the farmers
of tho Second Congressional Dis
trict of Georgia.
The subjects in the main will be
those of preparedness for the boll i
weevil, diversified farming and live
stock fanning. In addition a very
interesting program will be conduct
ed for women by Mrs. Bessie Stan-
ey Wood,'Assistant State Supervi
sor in Home Economics, This will
consist of lectures and demonstra
tions oil cooking, sewing, labor
saving devices, and other subjects
of home improvement. A great
many interesting lectures will be
?iven by specialists from the Col-
lego'of Agriculture,' Athens, Ga. on
different subjects. These subjects
ha ve been selected to meet the con
ditions as they stand today with
the-menace of the boll weevil at
hand. The morning periods from
ten o’clock until, noon will bo en
tirely devoted, to. addresses and lec
tures. The afternoon periods will
be in 'the nature of demonstrations.
There will be demonstrations for
then tlnd boys in dairying, judging
livestock, judging chickens, inspec
tion of soils, and the treatment of
sick farm animals. The women
will have an opportunity to view
and take part, in demonstrations in
cooking, butter making, poultry
production and the making of labor
saving devices for the home, and in
landscape gardening. Two car
loads of cattle and educational ex
hibits will be 911 display during the
entire four days.

is an effective liver stimulant. It
also purifies the bowels, streng-
It is by no means surprising tli
thoro is decided 'opposition in i
quarters to tho call by Governor
Harris of a special session'of tho
Legislature to pnss a law that will
take full advantage of the recent
rulings by the Supremo Court on
the Webb-Kcnyon and West Vir
ginia laws. It is always truo that
any advance in the laws against-
legalized liquor traffic has to fight
its way step by step against just tho
forces that are now represented by
t(ie opposition to having the Gov
ernor oall an extra session,.
But the need for the improve
ment in our prohibition laws is too
plain and the opportunity too
precious to allow to pass'. We
believe that the cull will be made
and that in the- shortest time pos
sible that Georgia will have a law
that will very effectually prevent;
the great traffic now goiug on in
this stuff that has not one thing
good to be said 1 in its favor.
Not alone in Geqrgia but all
over this country and even through
out the world 1 the sentiment in
favor of temperance and prohibi
tion is gathering force and momen
tum, and what lias long been a
dream of a few is really becoming
a probability, when,there shall be
no legalized traffic in any form of
alcoholic drinks. The man in
either private or public life who
todays sets himself the 1, task of
trying to stem this’ onward movc-
ment will find himself borne down
before, it.
Let ! the legislature^>c called to
gether to pass the very best law
that can bo passed at this ■ time,
and then when its imperfections
show up let it be futher improved;
There is no such thing ns letting
well enough alone. There is al
ways something better ahead.
Give us a “Bone Dry Law” and
then if it shows signs of getting
damp, let it be reworked and made
tight again.
Facts About Georgia
That is what it. is called and that
is what it is in truth. Facts ac
tively but simply told, It gives
one a greater pride -than over in
his state to read this splendid com
pilation dealing with Georgiri
from many angles and illustrated ,
with scones from the mountains to .
the sea.
Lor some time we have known
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce *<•
was to issue this book as one of
the booster features of their work
for the state and we had expected
an attractive volumn, but sinoo
seeing this book and dipping here
a'nd there into its simply but well
written pages we have to admit
that it exceeds our expectations,
The wide distribution of the work
both within the state. and outside
is bound to result in great good.
It will do any Georgian good to be
made to realize as this book will
do the great possibilities of his -1
state, and we believe it will lip
right hard for any one not familar
with the state to read it and not
feel pretty strong inclination make
its acquaintance.
