Flood, Cyclone, Fire,
The public has been thrilled and
the popular heart moved by the story
of the flood, cyclone and fire damage
in many states during the past two
weeks. A large area of country has
been touched by the devastating force
of flood and storm, and in some in
stances large and beautiful (titieSE
have suffered to almost jncredihleé
extent. It is a resume of death and
suffering, or of great loss of prop-%
erty and resultant sorrow. As ig al-|
wayvs the case—and it is soruething?
to arouse satisfaction—people every- |
where are moved to sympathy by u%
recital of the disasters, and there is |
generous and prompt response to;
the calls that are being heard for aid
for the suffering, for relief of imme- |
diate need. That is as it should bo,}
and we are glad that in Georgia there |
is quick response, as elsewhere, The‘
aid that is extended should be
prompt. The need is now, today.
There will soon be forwarded from
Dawson the offering of this city and |
section. Let it reach g sum hat will,
be worthy of thls people. !
It Should Not Be So.
Several distinguished men have
been constrained to decline the posts
of ambassador to foreign countries
tendered them by President Wilson,
The circumstance should serve to di
rect public attention to the situation
which has developed in this country
regarding diplomatic service, and
notably the more important embas
sies, which call for men of exception
al ability and high personal stand
ing. A system has been evolved with
aspects and tendencies that are not
wholesome or creditable. It is a sys
tem that bars American citizens of
moderate Or even average means
from such service. It is not a new
story. For a number of years weal
thy men have been our ambassadors
to the great nations of the world.
It is in order, if a rich man is capa
ble and personally worthy and will
ing to serve, that such men shall be
called to diplomatic service; but it is
not wise or desirable to continue a
system that-will limit such service to
men of wealth, as is the case now.
It ought to be possible for men of
moderate means to accept high diplo-‘l
matic posts, if the man is capable and |
has the personal worth that should |
be a pre-requisite. 1
It is to be hoped that what has
been witnessed since the president
undertook to find suitable men to
represent this country abroad will
have the effect of inducing the con
gress to institute a remedy and put
our diplomatic service on a footing |
that will do us credit as a nation,
and not limit the distinction of hon
orable public service to men who first
of all are rich. Such a remedy ls!
manifestly in order and needed. '

Why America Has Dug Canal.|
Why has America succeeded in
bailding the Panama canal where
France failed? Was it because we
had more money, better men or bet
ter tools? No, it was because the
French died so fast that they could
not make any progress. The French,!
with an average force of 10,000 em-i
ployees, lost from death during their|
sconstruetion period 22,000 men, We,i
with an average force of 33,000 menl
during about the same length of time‘
have lost from death 4,000.° The|
French, with an average of 1,600]
white employees, lost during theiri
construction period from yellow t'ever;
2,000 men. We, with an average of |
5,000 white employees during the}
same length of time, have lost from!
yellow fever only eighteen. The‘
jmportant question, however, is the
health of the American employees.
During the year 1911 we had 10,-
489 American whites connected with
the commission, and their death rate
from disease was 4.48 per thousand.
These facts are taken from a recent
address at Johns Hopkins University
by Col. Wm. Gorgas, chief sanitary
officer of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission. His address appears in a
recent issue of the Journal of Ameri
ran Medical Association.
Philippine Progress,
Since the United States took huld?
of the great wild archipelago of the%
Philippines, not only by the familiar |
right of conquest but also by pur-|
chase at the sincere request of Spain,;
the world—especially that portion of
it which is professionally colonial—
has been astonished at the constant
success of our rule there. It has
been an easy task, and even elimi-
nating th~ initial purchase money of |
$20.000,000 it has not been an in-|
vestment remarkable for its returns. |
With our extension of a limited
measure of free trade to the islands
the islanders have been the principal
beneficiaries. Their imports for 1912
exceeded those of 1911 by 30 per
cent and their exports swelled by 23
per cent. The Filipinos found a mar
ket in the United States last year
for over 42 per cent of their total
product—a considerable improve
ment over conditions under the re
gime of Spain. The barometer of
trade indicates a solid benefit to the
islands from our alliance with them.
l Morgan---Living and Dead.
i There is being much written of the
?life and career of the late John
| Pierpont Morgan, for he was a tow
| ering figure in the world as a finan
!cier and man of affairs, and left
his impress on the era in which he
lived and achieveéd. The theme is a
big one, for the world has not seen
{ Mr. Morgan's equal in affairs of fi-
Inanve, of organization, of leadership
lin great undertakings that bore on
]material progress and dovelopment.i
[The world knew him as a power in
lfinance and industrial development,
]The world knew, too, that he was a
‘(tultured man, a lover and patron of
{art, and in many respects philun—;
|thropic. There is not evidence lack- |
{ing that in private life he was clean,
(upright and genial—lloving his own!
| family and his friends just as otherf
| men of far less note and genius— |
Ee\'en as the average man-—love thvir,
|
iuwn and friends. There is evidence
‘that he was a fair type of American
!ism. for he was loyal to his country
and people. His genius, it must be
kept in mind, was as a financier. He
took pride in helping to make his
country a creditor rather than a
debtor nation, and that in itself was
an aspiration worthy of an American
citizen. :
There will be, as said, many esti
mates of Mr. Morgan, and the effects
of his influence. The calm judgment
of posterity will be, we believe, that
all in all he was a useful man to his
country and people——and we do not
forget that the world called him a
billionaire, nor the distrust of abnor
mal wealth and its possible baneful
power and influence.
| Senator W. H. Bieisford has in
[troduced a bill in the Texas legisla
ture making it unlawful for any fe
male to wear in church or at any pub
lic gathering any hat or head dress
having a crown or any ornament ex
| ceeding two inches in height or a
| brim more than: four inches wide
because his view was obstructed by
the hats of women when he attended
BPaster church services. He would
!depri\'e violators of his proposed law
of the privilege of purchasing any
new hat for three vears and then al
low them to do so only if the hat is
isimplv and does not cost more than
|$2.(H). That could properly be term
jed drastic Jegislation.
Grady county has tired of the pres
ent system of working the roads, and
at a largely attended mass meeting
|the citizens of the county adopted
resolutions declaring their unwilling
ness to pay the commutation tax and
recommended that the convicts be re
‘turned to the state and the old meth
od of road-working be again adopted.
There is no question that the benefits
derived from the present system of
working the roads is not commen
surate with the expense. There are
a few miles of good roads and many
miles of bad roads—some of them
impassable—in the state.
if anybody has the idea that Pres
ident Wilson isn’t going to enforce
the anti-trust laws he should get rid
of it at once. In an article in the
current number of World’s Work, the
magazine of which the newly appoint
ed ambassador to Great Britain is
editor, he makes it.clear that it is
his purpose to do his utmost to put
every private monopoly out of busi
ness, to make such monopolies com
ply with the laws. When they com
ply with them they will not longer
be monopolies.
Hon. Wm. G. Brantley character
izes the report that he will be a can
didate for the United States senate
next vear as ridiculous. Mr. Brant
ley, who is one of the ablest men that
ever represented Georgia at the na
tional capital, retired from congress
to practice law, and is going to do it.
It is rather early, anyhow, to begin
discussing politics.
. The dispatches announce that Sen
iutur Smith called on President Wil
|son Friday and urged the appoint
!ment, of Hon. P. A. Stovall to the
idipl(‘)matic service. The News sin
| cerely trusts that the able and genial
itSa\'annah editor will pluck a juicy
{plum. He was an “‘original”’ Wilson
|man. and deserves something zood.
| The receipts of the railroads and
postoffice show that the businegs in
| Dawson during March was the great
est ever known in that month. The
| sale of tickets was larger than ever
| before, and the receipts for freight
|show much business activity. Daw
|son is all right, and the croaker is
' welcome to do his worst.
Tt is said that Representative Sla
ter will introduce a bill in the leg- |
islature to issue $50,000,000 worth |
of bonds for the purpose of draining
the state. It strikes The News that
it would be too much of a good thingl
all at once. i

Kind Words From Contemporaries That
Are More Highly Prized Than Any Office
I Albany Herald: The Herald con
gratulates Editor E L. Rainey of
The Dawson News on his appoint
ment as a member of the board of
‘prison commissioners to succeed the
late Wiley Williams. We also con
gratulate Governor Brown on his
wise selection. The statement hag
!been made that there were no fewer
‘than 200 applicants for the vacancy
caused by the death of Captain Wil
liams, and we do not believe that
even with so much material from
which to make a choice one moré
eminently satisfactory to the people
of the state could have been made.
Editor Rainey has been honored by
his own community, and has held
posititons of trust and responsibility
in a wider field. He was supervisor
of the census for the Second congres
sional district in 1910, and has al
ways measured up fully to the ex
pectations of his friends and admir
ers. The Herald, both a friend and
admirer of the new prison commis-|
sioner, offers its congratulations. I
Macon Evening News: The Macon
News extends congratulations to the
new member of the prison commis
sion of Georgia, Hon. E. L. Rainey
of Dawson. Governor Brown’s selec
tion was a splendid one, and The
News feels confident that his ap
pointee will measure up in every
way to the duties and responsibilities
of the office. In addition to having
edited his paper with great ability
for many years Mr. Rainey has serv
ed several terms in the legislature
from Terrell county. And to show
the esteem in which he is held by his
fellow citizens he never had any op
position. Mr. Rainey will assume
charge of his new duties at once, and
his many friends predict a splendid
record for him. Governor Brown is
to he congratulated on this appoint
ment, i
Hawkinsville News and Dispatch:
E. 1.. Rainey, editor of The Dawson
News, has been appointed by Gov
ernor Brown to succeed the late Cajt.
Williams on the state prison commis
sion, It is not often that an editor is
handed a good paying pubiic office,
and this is a high compliment to Mr.
Rainey, owing to the fact that he was
chosen from a large number of other
applicants, many of whom as well as
himself were among the governor's
most loyal supporters. His appoint
ment will be especially gratifying to
his numerous newspaper friends of
the state, and that he will fill the
office in a creditable and satisfactory
manner there is no room to doubt.
Columbus Ledger: I[n the appo’st
ment of Editor Rainey of The Daw
son News as a member of the Geor
gia prison commission to succeed the
late Capt. Williams of this city Gov
ernor Brown named a man who will
direct affairs of the office with credit
to himself and to the state. Editor
Rainey is an able man, being well
qualified in every way for the duties
of the high office, and he is sure to
make a fine record. According to
news from Atlanta Mr. Rainey was
chosen from a list of several hundred
applicants, so that the honor is a high
one, and the Dawson editor is to he
congratulated,
i Americus Times-Recorder: A
lworthy successor to Prison Commis-
Isionvr Wiley Williams has been nam
‘ed by Governor Brown in the person
| of Editor E. L. Rainey of The Daw
lson News. As editor of one of the
| livest and best managed by-weeklies
lin the state Mr. Rainey has made a
'name for himself among the practical
'and successful newspaper men of
‘ Georgia. He is aggressive and capa
ble in his work. His former experi
ence at the state capitol as a legisla
! tor should be of much value to him
'in his new duties, which he vwgill
doubtless fill with satisfactiom to all.

age of editors in public office in
Georgia shall not be decreased, since
he has named Mr. E, L. Rainey, edi
tor of The Dawson News, to succeed
the late Capt. Wiiey Williams as a
member of the prison commission.
Capt. Williams was formerly editor
of the Columbus Enquirer-Sun. Mr.
Rainey has proved his fitness for an
office of public trust not only by his
efficiency as a newspaper man, but
also because of his service in the leg
islature and his grasp upon state af
fairs.
Macon Telegraph: In the appoint
ment of Mr. E. L. Rainey of Terrell
county to the vacaney on the prison
commission, caused by the death of
Capt. Wiley Williams, Governor
Brown not only recognized the valye
of a good man for the place, but the
claims of a section of the state which
has too few of the places to which its
importance entitles it. The new com;
missioner is a man of practical expe
rience and knowledge and will fill
the office with credit to himself anq
benefit to the state.
Darien Gazette: The appointment
of Hon. E. L.. Rainey as the successor
of the late Wiley Williams on the
Georgia prison commission should
give great satisfaction. Mr. Rainey

The American Agricultural Chemical Co’s
“Bowker Top Dresser”
The Acme of Chemical and Mechanicai Perfection
By research and study scientists discovered that plants teed the same as ani
mals and learned the necessary kinds of food, and the proper proportions of the same
required for the different plants, not only to sustain their life, but to furnish the vi.
tality and vigor necessary for their perfection.
By experiments and experience the intelligent farmer- -NOT PLANTER—
is rapidly learning the proper feeding of these foods to the plant. The requisite
quantity and the time when—as a plant like an animal—does not feed uiiess hungry,
nor can it consume enough at any one time to mamntain it indefinitely. but requires
its food at regular times.
The most progressive and deepest thinking farmers are learning that aec
“man cannot live by bread alone,” a plant cannot thrive and attain its best upon any
one form of food—nor upon all the forms—unless they are of such quality and sourge
of origin and skillfully and scientifically compounded as to be available to the plant’s
wants at all times, from start to finish.
They are also slowly learning that chemical anylysis is not always a sure
guide to the real merits ot a fertilizer.
A chemist in his laboratory may find that two fertilizers of different makes
may contain 8 per cent acid phosphate, 2 per cent ammonia, and 2 per cent potash,
commonly known as 8-2-2, but the soil, which is nature’s fertilizer laboratory, often
shows that one is far superior in results to the other, by reason of the different origin
source of the ingredients and the manner of their composition.
One Mule Is Not Necessarily As Good and Valuable as Every Other
Mule, Even Though They Are All Mules
To aid such discriminating, progressive farmers in their desires and efforts to
force theirsoil to yield them its maximum return, we are offering them
“Bowker Top Dresser”
for their second or third and final plant feeding with the honest assurance that its
ingredients and formula are the results of the combined thoughts of some of the
most “scientific agricultural chemists and experts in America,” and compounded by
the most “experienced men money can employ,” by the most modern and “perfect
machinery human ingenuity has yet contrived.”
