PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY
—_T;T'_E i RAII\'I«:Y._—
Let's pave the sireets with some
thing besides good intentions.
One by one the old Georgia con
gressmen are giving up life at Wash
ington. The report now comes from
the capital that Congressman T. W.
Hardwick has announced that he will
retire at the end of his present term.
Mr. Hardwick has gone through some
very strenuous campaigns in recent
vears, and has probably come to the
conclusion that it is too big a price
to pay for an office.
The Macon Telegraph agrees with
another Georgia editor that the deal
that ‘‘done up’’ Senator Bacon was
“smart but crooked,” and says: “This’:'
newspaper declared two months agof
that the anti-seniority scheme was |
a plan to throw down Southern lead—jl
ership. There was a center rush offi
denials. But the occurrences of these I
two months speak louder than the!
denials.” ’
The new nickel has already been
cvounterfeited. The bogus coins are
made of lead with a covering of tin
foil and are said to be much heavier
than the genuine coin. The plant of
the counterfeiters is believed to be in
Philadelphia. Slot machines and
telephones doubtless will get most of
the imitations, for it is not yet easy
to pass the real coins in some parts
of the country. The buffalo nickel
is still somewhat a curiosity and the
chances are that most of the clumsy
imitations would be detected at once
if efforts were made to pass them.
Bridling the Tongue.
A few days ago a Philadelphia min
ister in the course of a sermon de
nounced the host and hostess of a
society dinner-dance in that city be
cause some of the women guests, it
was said, had smoked cigarettes. He
added that the proper punishment for
the hosts would be a coat of tar and
feathers. Now the minister has made
a public retraction from his pulpit,
and has expressed sorrow that he
should have allowed his tongue so
much freedom.
The Savannah News finds a lesson
in the predicament of this preacher,
which is that those who have oppor
tunity to influence the trend of public
thought by their utterances in the
pulpit, the court room or on the
stump cannot be too careful in what
they say, especially when they make
personal accusations. The odor of
sanctity about thé pulpit gives added
importance to what the minister says
and wher he intemperately aitacks
individuals he not only injures those
he dencunces, but he also diminishes
popular respect for the cleth.
Electric Light for the Farm. |
It is estimated that there are at%
least two million gasoline and oil en-l
gines on farms in this country at the!
present day, and this number is being i
added to at the rate of 500,000 annu-‘
ally. l
A great many farmers who ha\'ei
already installed engines for power
purposes would also like to have elec
tric lights for the house and farm
buildings and other electrical conven
iences, but do not know how to g 0
about it to secure the necessary appa
ratus.
The necessary auxiliary apparatus |
consists of a small electric generator, ‘
a storage battery aud the necessary |
wirfing and lamps.
An electric generator large enough@
to operate thirty of the new type of[
metal filament Mazda lamps can bei
bought very reasonably and the nec-}
essary wiring can be done by fhe:
farmer himself if he is handy with
tools, or a competent electrician wi'!
do the work for a nominal sum. The
generator is belted to the gas engine
and run until the storage battery is
charged; then it is stopped and not
started up again until it is necessary.
Generally two or three short runs
during the week will be sufficient,
and even less where only a few lamps
are used at a time.
Of course it will be necessary to |
obtain the correct speed ratio be- |
tween the engine and the generator,i
but this is easily figured out. A few
hours talk with an electrician while
he operates the system will be suffi
cient to teach any one all that is nec- |
essary to know about operating such
an electric power plant. A lighting
system of this kind will last for years
and will supply all the electricity
necessary for lighting the home, the
yards and the barn buildings
Concerted Criticism,
Individual criticism of local affairs
is likely to be narrow, selfish, ill-con
sidered and destructive. But organ
ized criticism of the kind voiced by a
local community development club is
broad, well thought out, non-partisan,
unbiased, unselfish and constructive.
A local club whose object is to build
up and improve the community, if
wisely and conservatively conducted,
may cause its decisions and recom
mendations on matters of community
policy to be accepted by the publie as |
authoritative and final. |

- Ex-Governor Northen,
3 “Well done’” may be said of former
i Governor Wm. J. Northen, who died
! at his home in Atlanta Tuesday in
the seventy-fifth year of his age. He
L was a cood soldier, a good farmer, a
| good governor and a good church
man, and in a proclamation ordering
l[]\u usual honors for the distinguish
ed dead Governor Brown paid him
5’!)10 following fitting tribute:
“It becomes the sad duty of this
office to announce the death of the
Hon. William J. Northen, former gov
ernor of this state, and at the time
of his death compiler of records. Gov
ernor Northen spent much of his life
in the service of his state and peo
ple. He gave the best encrgies of a
long and splendid career to the pub-l
lic. As the moulder of youthful
minds, as legislator, as chief execu
tive, as publicist and as preserver of'
the records of our fathers and as |
an advocate of civic ideals and racial
development his figure stood out as
one ‘of the noblest and purest with
which Georgia has been blessed. His
sympathies were with the weak undl
lowly. His trust was in God, to
whose voice he was ever attentive
and to whose divine will he gave
the best of his mind and heart. His’
hope was in that reward which is!
gained by unselfish devotion to eter
nal truths, a reward earned and sure
1y enjoyed by him. We find recom
pense for our sorrow in the lasting
fruits of his work, not the least ofi
which is the enduring example of a
spotless life left to crown his mem
ory.”
History is filled with examples of
noble sacrifices made for human lib
erty and human progress. Our own
halls of fame bear testimony to the
existence of that spirit of patriotism
and self-sacrifice which has manifest
ed itself in times of great public
need. But patriotism—love of coun
try-—like religion, is for every-day
use, and is not reserved for great
crises only. Community development‘
is only another term for patriotism.l
If the rural communities of the Unit-l
ed States are preserved, built up and
made attractive, the natio nis safe, ‘

There are indications that con
gress is going to have considerable
trouble in fixing for a plan of taxing‘i
incomes. The question is whether a !
straight tax of two per cent shall be
laid on all incomes over a certain
amount or whether a small tax, say
one-half of one per cent, shall be laid
on small incomes, beginning with in
comes of $l,OOO, and increasing with
the amount of the incomes until a tax
of four per cent is laid on incomes
of $lOO,OOO and upwards. ‘
Senator Smith, who has been on a 4
recent visit to Georgia, is quoted in
the Atlanta Journal as follows: “In
reorganizing the senate the old sen
iority rule was observed as to chair
manships, but disregarded as to sec
ond places on committees. The sen
jority doctrine was not permitted to
stand in the way of a reorganization
of the senate which would insure the
enactment of the progressive legisla
ition demanded by the country and
% promised in-the Baltimore platform.”
Those who never hunger for pub-‘
lic office may sometimes doubt the
swarm of place hunters worrying the
president and his advisers. But the
statement made in Washington that
there are now 131,530 applicants for
government jobs should dissipaty all
doubt. If these figures are correct
more than one out of every fifty men
-:\\‘ho voted for Woodrow Wilson for
president wants a reward in the
;slla;)e of an office.
Four states are building for the
future with a vengeance, in one 1);.11‘—‘
ticular, at least. They are New York,
Illinois, Mississippi and Indiana.
They have accepted gifts of $l,OOO
each to be expended in the year 2163
and thereafter. It is expected that
each state’s nest egg will grow in
that time to be $20,1556,964.13. The
)money is the gift of a retired soap
maker of-Indiana, and is to be used
for the relief of dumb animals.
The nigh-beer dealers of Savannah
are being made to pay their state li
cense tax. The arrest of forty-five
delinquents has had the desired ef
fect, and others will be persuaded in
a like manner.
Was there ever a time in the ex
perience of the world when weak and
innocent women were not the prey>
of lustful wretches? But what is the
remedy? One is puzzled when asked
ito answer that questioa. It is one
' of the problems of this age, as it has
lheen of past ages, to devise means to
| protect woman-kind and uphold
lideals of purity, of the sanctity of
'('haste womanhood. Public senti
ment can do much to check and sup
’l)l‘9ss the evil.
Out in Missouri a few days ago a
man who achieved fame by living six
ty days on raw peanuls took as his
wife a woman who became famou:i‘l
for living ninety-two days on apples.
We agree with our esteemed contem
porary, the Savannah News, that the
high cost of living wolf should never
prowl about their door.
The Vienna News intimates that
W. G. Brantley may re-enter state
politics, The Hawkinsvil’e Dispatch
and News says ‘‘if tha prophecy
comes true it means lively times
ahead in Georgia, for he 1s recogniz
ed as one of the best men in the
state and would have a strong follow
ing.”
The government at Washington is
getting along all right, thank you.

victims of the mad dog in Dawson
Tuesday, fainted while in the offic2

Bat Tuesday in Cuthbert there was
enacted a scene that made good meng
angry and seemed to enthrone wick-i
edness in the seat of justice. A mzmi
was on a commitment trial for mur- |
der; the justice of the peace of the]|
county seat was too drunk to sit;
straight in his chair (one of the|
’me)mhers of the bar said that was his’
chronic condition); the associated
justice from the Springvale distri(-t!
is a self-acknowledged forger of an- |
other man’s name, and in a bail tro-’
ver suit brought against him had to
pay for the goods bought; what
the ‘“‘qualification’” of the Shellman
associate justice had for being in!
such company I do not know. but the |
majority of the court were (lisquali-l
fied by all law of right from sitting
in any court in the world. As toi
their decision in the case, right or
wrong, it was wrong by reason ofl
this disqualification. én amendment%

J. P courtss It did not go Har
enough. All of them should be abol
ished, for most of them are travesties
on justice by reason of ignorance,
corruption and lack of respectabili- |
ty that should surround the admin-,
istration of law. The reason for;
their existence—the lack of facilities
to reach and the distance from the
county seats—has ceased to exist.
Good roads, automobiles and trains
have put every man called to court
in the largest counties within threel
hours of any county seat in Georgia,
and a county court presided over by
a respectable lawyer could dispose
of all erlminal business, below fel-l
onies, and act as a committing court
for all crimes committed anywhere in .
Georgia, and make justice swift and!
the courts administering it respecta-|
ble, and recall will have no weight
but multiply scenes such as that oc-l
curring in Randolph county on the’
925th day of March, 1913, and this
new way of dealing with delinquent
courts will not down. Very respect

Women Jurors—Handsome Thief.
From the Savannah News.
Out :n California a jury stood two
for acquittal and ten for conviction
in a case where a fine looking young
fellow was charged with and admit
ted stealing a horse. The two were
women. the ten were men. So the
horse thief was freed, ‘“‘because,”” said
the women, ‘“he is too handsome to
steal a horse.” A certain old saying
must now be revised, for handsome
does as handsome is.

From the Moultrie Observer.
The people of Dawson are jubilant.
The ladies of the library association
have received notice that Andrew
Carnegie will donate $lO,OOO for a
library building. The city will furnish
funds for equipping the building, and
will support it. Mrs. E. T, Jordan,

has been untiring in her efforts to se
cure the donation.
Shellman Has a Peeping Tom.
From the Shellman Sun.
We learn that a Peeping Tom has
been visiting some of our homes
when the male members of the family
are away, and peeping in the win
dows. Don’t trouble yourself to call
on the police, but just shoot, and
shoot to kill. We have not learned
whether the party is white or black,
but a white man who would do this
is no better than a negro.
