Germany surrenders! Nothing
else to do as soon as. your Uncle
Samuel got in behind ’em.
There seems to be a bond of
sympathy between a good looking
lass and a good looking glass.
“A lot o’ men,” said Uncle Eben
“is fairly successful, only dey’s
jes’ nachelly so dissatisfied dey
won’t admit it.”
“The goose that laid the golden
egg” had something on the hen
who is laying eggs at the present
price—but not very much.
Reports say the Kaiser is spend
ing most of his time in reading
the Bible and in prayer. If he
had done that four years ago with
sincerity there would have been
no war.
When, after the war, we try to'
get back to normal wavs of living
and doing business we’ll more
fully realize how far we’ve been
from them. It’s going to be a
huge job, too.
If America gains nothing else
from the war she will at least
have a greatly increased knowl
edge of European geography. In
fact, she will assist in making the
new map of Europe.
It will be an entirely new world
after this war. No nation upon it
will be upon anything like the
same footing it was before it
came. And best of all, the change
will be for the better.
There is a young man whois
known as “mamma’s darling” in
Atchison, but down in Kansas
City they say he is a regular papa’s
tom cat. —Atchison Globe.
And there are others.
The Allies may be able to pay
Uncle Sam back the money he
has loaned them, but they owe
him greater debts than that which
they will be a long time paying, if
they are ever able to do so.
“Are you engaged in war work”
asked the sweet young thing of
the man with the underslung spec
tacles and the coarse voice and
features.
“Yes, I am a divorce lawyer,”
answered the man, with a sigh.
Guess we now see our mistake
in not even persuading the gov
ernment to fix the price of cotton.
If the cotton growers could get
free of their self-constituted so
called friends their troubles and
losses would be far less. —Ogle-
thorpe Echo. -
General Foch.
It is less than seven months
that Ferdinand Foch-took
command of all the allied armies,
! says F. H. Simonds, a military ex
pert writer in the New York Tri
ll bune. He came in on the morn
j ing of the terrible defeat of March
j 21, with Amiens in danger and
i the severance of the British and
French armies still a possibility.
Before he could grasp the reins a
German victory in Flanders seem
ed to open the way to the chan
nel. About this time we were all
talking of the possibility that Lu
dendorff would reach Calais and
take Paris. And now we are dis
cussing the terms of German sur
render as beaten German armies
flow hack toward the Rhine, with
France liberated and Belgium
emerging from the wreck of Ger
man occupation.
Is it too much to believe that,
on the military side, Ferdinand
Foch will hereafter rank witth
Ceesar, Frederick and Napoleon,
and on the moral side surpass
them all, since he has done for
humanity and civilization what the
others did for themselves —did in
pursuit of power? In combiningi
the military genius of Napoleon |
w'th the patriotic loyalty of Wash
ington, Foch has written a new
and splendid, chapter in military
history— lmperishable Hence
forth.
Wonderful Figures.
The United States Census Bu
reau reports that cotton ginned
up to October 18 amounted to 6,-
790,003 bales, as compared with
5,573,606 bales up to the same
date last year and 7,303,183 bales
uo to Oct. 18, 1916.
These are wonderful figures.
The cotton crop this year has been
raised in the face of a shortage in
the supply of farm labor and der
spite the ravages of the weevil.
It is naturally gratifying to us
here in the Southeast that the
bulk of increased ginnings is in
our own section.
Georgia’s ginning up to Oct. 18
were 1,227,736 bales, a full quart
er-million bales ahead of the gin
nings up to the corresponding
date in 1917. Alabama had gin
ned-485,520 bales up to the date —
as much, indeed, as the entire
crop has amounted to in that State
in some of these recent boll weevil
years. '
Mississippi, which was so hard
hit by the weevil a few years ago,
reported that it has ginned 583,961
bales up to Oct. 18.
South Carolina, with fts 795,340
bales up to that date, has also
made a splendid record.
All this spells money —real mon
ey —and especially for the South
east, for the crop in the South
west seems to be off.
The situation in Georgia, the
leading cotton-producing State
east of the Mississippi river, illu
strates the tremendous value of
the cotton crop this year. Last
year Georgia grew not quite two
million bales of cotton. This year
its production, as indicated by
ginnings up to the middle of Oc
tober, will run at least two million
bales and probably a little more
than that. —Industrial Index.
