In change of cconditions the
gap that divides 1919 from 1914 is
as great as the gap that divides
the twentieth century from the
eighteenth.
The man who looks to a return
of the conditions of 1914 in ad
justing business or social relations
is as sadly out of joint as if he
looked to a return of the condi
tions of 1800.
Think of the things this short
five years have witnessed 1
Machines loaded with men and
cargoes fly through the air for
long distances at the rate of 100
miles an hour
Ships travel under the seas at a
speed that rivals the fastest sail
ing vessels of a hundred years
ago.
Men on the surface of the earth
talk through wireless telephones
to men flying a mile in air.
Great tonnage of freight is
moved by trucks over open roads
for greater distances and at a
higher speed than were achieved
by our railroads in early days.
Ships that required years for
construction are now built in a
month. Processes of manufac
ture have been revolutionized.
America has passed from a
debtor nation, owning billions, to
a creditor nation, lending billions.
Thirty thousand security-holders
in America have expanded into
thirty millions.
The impossibilities of sixty
months ago have become common
occurrences.
Financially, commercially, so
cially, the world has been turned
upside down.
We are in a new world. The
past and its conditions have gone
never to return.
We are living in a new era.
It’s time we realized it.
One of the changes wrought by
the great war is to be found in
road-building. The millions of
American boys who went across
have all returned enthusiast boost
ers for good roads. The old mud
dy roads must give way to perma
nent highways. The whole coun
try is aflame with good roads sen
timent. County after county in
Georgia has voted bonds for good
roads. —Madison Madisonian.
Stone Mountain Monument
The News regards with disfavor
the proposal to so enlarge the
IStone Mountain Memorial, plan
ned in honor of the soldiers of
the Confederacy, so as to include
all the soldiers from the war of
American Revolution to the Euro
pean war. This newspaper would
not withhold from any soldier
any honor that is due, but this
monument should be sacred to the
memory of the Confederate vet
erans as the original plan contem
plated. A general monument in
honor of the soldiers of the sev
eral wars would detract from the
significance of the world’s great
est memorial —it would not be a
Confederate monument to be ad
mired and cherished by coming
generations of the South, but a
monument with no especial mean
ing to any section of the United
States.
Such suggestions as have been
made in connection with the me
morial contemplated the sole re
cognition of the soldiers of the
Confederacy, and no other senti
ment should be allowed to super
cede that of the old South.
A fitting monument should be
erected to American soldiers in
Atlanta, but let Stone Mountain
remain true to the memory of
Robert E. Lee, Joseph E. Johns
ton, Stonewall Jackson, Jubal A.
Early and the Confederate hosts.

HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA
Good Example.
This from the Barnesville
Gazette is well worth consider
ation by every county in Georgia
Bibb county voted last week for
a big bond issue with which to
build permanent roads throughout
the county. If there is a county
in the state which knows the
value and benefit of good roads it
is Bibb county, for the county’s
highways for many years have
been about the best in the state,
but these roads were not good
enough for Bibb and the citizens :
there decided they could spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars
for still better roads. The “example
is one which ought to arouse the
citizens of all the other counties to
build better roads. Pike county
is not prepared or willing, per
haps, to vote bonds for better
roads, but the officials and citizens
certainly ought to determine that
they will get something in the
way of good and permanent roads
for the thousands of dollars that
are being spent and largely wasted
every year under the present
plan. If there is not another foot
of grading done this year and all
the funds are used in permanently
improving the bad places in the
most important highways of the
county it would be an important
forward movement. It has been
completely demonstrated that
there can be no satisfactory roads
in the winter time under the plan
which has been in operation in
the past and, therefore, why con
tinue work under it. There is no
more important question before
the citizens of Pike county than
the good roads question and they
should actively co-operate with
the county officials in setting in
operation a system which will
produce better and more satis
factory results.
Graduation.
At the end of May and during
the month of June the schools of
our land are-- turning out thou
sands of boys and girls who have
completed the courses assigned.
Each of these young people is
prepared in a great measure for
life." They may complete their
school at this point, or may go on
to college. In either event, each
has received a valuable education
from books and teachers, and one
equally valuable from the associr
ation with other pupils on the
playground and after school hours.
The boys and girls have worked
hard to complete their work and
attain to graduation. Schools, and
communities are right in recogni
zing graduation as an event of
importance. It is well to make
the graduation day one that will
leave a delightful impression in
the heart ot every student.
Then let us realize that the girls
are entitled to their pretty white
dresses and flowers and the boys
to their new suits, and that every
arrangement that can make the
day distinctive and pleasant should
be encouraged.
The older people of the town
should show their interest by at
tendance at the exercises if pos
sible.
Don’t forget that these thought
ful and happy boys and girls are
the citizens of the future, who
will in time take our places in the
community. Help to make their
graduation day a little triumph
for each of them.—Jones County
News.

Mothers, Don’t Be Slackers
Too many mothers want their
children to have a good time when
they are young. A young mar
ried woman said, ‘‘l have to learn
so much by experience. Mamma
never taught me anything of work,
for she wanted me to have a good
time. If I had been taught to
help her with the housework she
would have lived longer and been
with her children more, while I
would be having an easier time
now that I am married and doing
my own work.”
It is every mother’s duty to
teach her daughter to cook and
care for the household, to per
form the simDle tasks of house
keeping. If she does not, but di
rects them toward the frivolities
of life, it is small wonder that
some young wives want a good
time regardless of home duties.
‘‘She has never had to work
and I want to keep her that way,”
said one mother, as she bent over
the wash-tub while her daughter
idled in the porch swing. The
mother was small and thin, with
lines of care on her face, and the
daughter was a robust girl who
bragged that she often spent an
hour manicuring her nails. There
was a young man who liked the
girl and hoped to make her his
wife, but feared to do so because
he knew she was ignorant of the
duties of a home.
Many girls owe their ill health
to the mother’s neglect to teach
their girls the care of their

A Mistake Made by Many.
Don’t wait for rheumatism to
indicate diseased kidneys. When
you suffer pains and aches by
day and sleep disturbing bladder
“weakness by night, feel tired,
nervous and run down, the kid
neys and bladder should be re
stored to healthy, strong and reg
ular action. It is a mistake to
postpone treatment. Foley Kid
ney Pills put the kidneys in sound
healthy condition and keep them
active and strong. Begin taking
today. Good results follow the
first dose. The McDonough Drug

keenest listening ears. '
Do Your Best.
Everyone should do all he can to
provide for his family and in order
to do this he must keep his physical
system in the best condition possi
ble. No one can reasonably hope
to do much when he is half sick a
good share of the time. If you are
constipated, bilious or troubled
with indigestion get a package of
Chamberlain’s Tablets and follow
the plain printed directions and
you will soon be feeling alright
and able to do a day 's work. Hor-

One of the causes of ill health and low vitality
