Official Organ of Henry County. McDonough, Ga., Dec. 20, 1918. Henry Watterson on Peace of the World. Hon Henry Watterson was ask ed to make an address at a “Vic tory Day” celebration at Louis ville. The condition of his health not permitting, he wrote the fol lowing letter: If I may not contribute my per son to your festival, let my pen set down briefly in black and white what my heart feels and my tongue would utter. We must do nothing in passion, or haste. We owe no relenting to Germany, or the Germans. But fb our own honor, behind us two centuries of Christian history, be fore us the gulf of eternity and the grace of God, we owe the homage of a sublime duty, sancti fied by heaven and irradiated by the precepts of Him of Galilee who died upon the cross that we might live, leaving us the blessed heritage of a religious system, which, except in theory, we have nowhere, nowise observed. ( This is a time to take account of purselves, mindful that brave men pever gloat over a fallen foe. Do pot misunderstand me in employ ing that word, I refer not to the Hohenzollern, or the Hapsburg. Xhey have already arrived. They have at last received what was Coming to them. When I speak of mercy, 1 refer to the myraids they have bamboozled with the holy name of fatherland and driv en to slaughter like sheep to the shambles. C The Teuton masses knew as lit tje what they were doing as that pob in Jerusalem. Beyond the payment of the indemnity they owe to France, Poland, Belgium And Serbia, 1 would not augment their agony or prolong their hu miliation. Their masters have lost fibeir all. The most of them are either in jail or in flight. Before feme of them the halter dangles. When their victims have discharg ed the debt they are left to pay, #hey will have had enough of sac- Sifice and sorrow. In the mean ime, where need is we must feed hem and clothe them. I have at no time doubted the result of the war. My prayer to £od has been and is that it will make the world of action and thought'a better world —of men and woitien, nobler, truer, tender er men and women. We are to rejoice that the war is ended, that is dead forever, and *Uiat peace stands smiling at the floor. | - “Peace tp the quiet dales rankly fertile by the blood of men, Peace in_the woodland and that lonely V* glen.~“ Peace peopled vales! • 1 the crowded town, mtace in a thousand fields of waving grain, Jieace in th? highways and flowery lane, ™Peace o*tt the wind swept dawn ! on the whirring marts, Me ace where the scholar thinks, the hunt ” er roams, Goo/bf peace, peace, peace, in all _ our homes, WAnd peace in all oar hearts!” • Sincerely, 1# Henry Watterson. * ff W rp i et F a! A. T. Hert, Esq. A Heart of Gold. Here’s a letter that I am going to keep a copy of —and whenever I get discouraged about the world and the people in it I’m going to take that letter out and read it over and teel as if I had just had a long drink of cold, sparkling water after a dusty walk on a hot day as if I had lain on a sick bed in a fetid room and someone had opened the window and had let in a breeze of clean sea air—come from miles and miles of clean, blue, rolling water: “Dear Winifred Black—l read about the alley baby you wrote about. We want to adopt a child so bad, but don’t know where to go. We have three boys, one 16, one 13 and the baby 5. What we wanted was a little girl of 8 or 9 to fit in between our two boys, and we would just love to get a girl. We can give her a good home and would educate her and bring her up as our own. “My husband owns and operates a dray line in this town, near where we have lived for 20 years. We own our own home, have six acres of land and a nice place, have two teams, one Jersey cow and calf, two pigs, 70 chickens and 50 chicks, and five Shetland ponies. “The boys often wish we had a girl and tell me to write some where and find out. So now I will ask you to help put me in touch with a home where they have children for adoption. “My husband is so glad I am writing for a girl. Please help us make this home and a little orphan girl happy, you that know. “My husband is 50 and I am 47, but in good health. We don’t ask for anything unusual, just a com mon, bright, well girl of that age. Won’t you please answer as soon as possible. I will be looking for an answer every day. Lovingly, *. "Mrs. H. H. Not AH in Fiction. There, now! Aren’t you glad you read it ? They aren’t all in the books or in the plays —women like this and homes like this and healthy, happy children and good and generous men like the one the writer of this letter speaks of as simply and nat urally as if they were quite com mon and to be expected as a mat ter of course any hour in the day —anywhere. Don’t you love to think about it —the day the little orphan girl comes out of the asylum and opens the gate and walks through the sunshine —into—home—home at last ? Real home, with comfort and love and simple, kindly under standing—home where there is no treachery and no cruelty and no careless iorgetting of the sorrows of others. Whoever you are, little orphan girl, 1 congratulate you. You may not have started out with much good fortune, but there’s a lucky line in the palm of your hand somewhere and you’ve found it — today. What are you going to call the new cat ? Have vou thought of a name for each of the two pigs? And, oh those Shetland ponies! Why, it has been worth all the years of loneliness and vague sor row that have been yours to come to such a haven at last. A “Right Ending” Be good, little orphan girl, be very, very good, for you have found loving hearts that will ap preciate everything you do and make the best of it, and help you and show you, and be pround of you, and you will never be alone and never friendless and never an orphan again as long as you live. Sometimes the stories do have the right ending, don’t they? I’d rather be a woman like the one who has written me this let ter than be a queen in any palace that was ever built by human hands, for she is made of the salt of the earth, and honor be to her and to hers forever—Winifred Black.

KILGORE, director N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station Says:- “The lack of Potash with us has been shozvn espeially in cotton, tobacco and potatoes in coastal plain sections. This has been especially true of cotton and potatoes, more potash having been used on tobacco, relatively, than on these two crops.” Dr. H. W. BARRE, director of S. C. Agricultural Experimet Station Says:- “I zvill say that a survey recently made of cotton situation in South Carolina leads us to beleve that at least 25 per cent reduction in the cotton crop has resulted this year from lack of potash. In some cases not more than half a crop has been produced on light land that is very de ficient in potash. The appearance of the plants indicates that what is known as potash hunger is responsible for the decreased yield. We are, thereforee, recommending that liberal amounts of potash be used in fertilizers for cotton next year. At the usual rates of application 1 feel that it zvill pay to use as much as 3 per cent of potash at the present prices. " Enquire of Royster Dealers Place orders early. F. S. ROYSTER GUANO CO.
