Straw hat time will soon be here, with a
new crop of jokes for the sorely pressed
paragraphers.
Vice-President Marshall's promise that he
will either run or not run mark him as fit
for a museum. The balance of us will do
the same thing.
An entirely gratuitous tip to the ladies:
Better clean your gloves while the clean
ing's good. It is predicted that gasoline willl

The Basis of Our Prosperity.
Bradstreet's review of trade, while giving
due credit to “‘war orders” for the part they
have undoubtedly played in swelling the un
precedented volume of ‘commerce in the
United States, scores a telling point against
the pessimist when it shows that “added
to this was a year of bounteous crops sold
at excellent prices.”
In the beginning there were many who
conscientiously believed the prosperity of
the United States as it exists at present
to be due almost entirely to the huge influx
of orders for munitions of war and accom
panying commodities; but developing facts
have shown them to be mistaken. A nation
which made a ecrop worth nearly $10,000.-
000,000 doesn’t have to explain the reason
for its prosperity.
We have been in the lap of the gods so
far as war orders are concerned. They are
not of our making or asking. They came
as a direct result of ecircumstances with
which we had nothing whatever to do; but,
coming, they were not to be ignored.
The great agricultural prosperity, how
ever, the genuine basis of our national
wealth, has no connection with the hostili
ties in Burope. It comes from the intelli
gent and aggressive efforts of American
farmers, aided by the smiles which Nature
has seen fit to bestow.
Still a Kick in Old Dobbin.
Dcbbin is passing, but he has by mno
means passed. His absolute numerical
strength, indeed, appears to be increasin,,
and he is not yet prepared to take the dust
of the haughty and übiguitous automobile,
honking arrogantly along its prideful way.
In 1890 there were 14,000,000 horses on
American farms and in 1900 there were 18-
000,000. On January 1, 1916, there were
21,166,000 horses on farms in the United
States, 4,656,000 mules, and 3,182,709
horses in the Kkities, a total of 25,913.709.
And this substantial increase took place
while the nation was teaching itself to need
2,000,000 or so automobiles.
No, Dobbin is still plodding on faithfully
and unweariedly, the backbone of our pros
perity, still the main reliance of the produc
tion of the necessary crops that clothe and
feed us. Wle hear of great tractor plows
and other remarkable motor inventions that
do almost everything on a farm except man
age it, but they are still in their infancy,
still not to be compared in their aggregate
effgct with the willing labors of noble old
Dobbin, who, in actual money value, is
worth three times as much as all the auato
mobiles in tho country.
The value of the horses and mules in the
United States is $3,022,292 000; of the au
tomobiles $1,260,000,000. “‘lf all the horses
died tomorrow we should all starve to
death,” said a speaker at the recent meet
ing of the executive committee of the New
York State Association of Horsemen. “We
depend upon the horse for what we eat and
what we wear.”
The horsemen are aroused to the meces
sity for conserving our horses, and will en
deavor to inoculate children, farmers and
business men with a measure of their earn
estness and enthusiasm. It should not be
a difficult matter once the facts are made
clearly known from the point of view of
economics, humanity, plain justice and grat
itude.
Graft and Aviation.
Later developments will probably show
whether there is any basis for the assertions
which have been made regarding crooked
ness in the aviation service of the United
States government; but, evidently, those be-l
hind the charges feel that they have at least!
some specific causes for believing as the_\'l
do, and they probably had some preliminaryl
evidence in hand when they alleged that
inferior materials had been employed in the}
construction of air ships. |
Graft is morally wrong and illegitimate,
even where it is not pointedly illegal. There
are degrees of wrong. The man or firm
who puts improper material in a suit of
khaki does wrong: but who shall attempt
to describe the crime committed when un
stable stuff is utilized in manufacturing a
frail creation of bamboo and piano wire in
which a human being mounts two or three
miles above the earth?
This is human cupidity in its worst state
of decraded wantonness. The man or men
responsible for an accident resulting from
this nothing less than criminal conduct is
guilty of murder.
There is something satanic about the calm
with which a manufacturer who has turned
out an imperfectly made machine can stand
and watch the ascent of an aviator. know
ing that only the mercy of God is between
him and death as he soars, and no punish
ment is too severe for a malefactor of this
variety when his guilt is definitely estab
o lished.

i Why Not For Keeps?
| Weeks!
| “Pay up weeks.”” ‘‘Better babies weeks.”
!’l‘his week, that week, the other week!”
Wihy not cease the observance of a vir
tue for a week, and practice it for fifty-two
of them consecutively?
If it is a good thing to pay your honest
debts for one week isn't it better to pay
them the year round?
And isn't the same true of the effort to
ward better babies—whatever that exten
sively used and misused term may specify?
These observances are fads. Perhaps they
do some little good by centering attention
for a short time on some particular object
worthy of attainment; but unless the effect
be permanent no real good results.
’ The citizen who has the payment of his
| debts dinned into both ears until he is al-l
most deaf, and who pays a cigar or soda
water bill of 75 icents that he has been(
owing since last summer is no better citizen
unless he faces determinedly about :md!
pays all of the debts which he has legiti
mately incurred.
And why place a laurel wreath upon the
individual who settles belatedly with his
butcher or grocer for the nonce, when all‘
communities, including Dawson, are filled |
with good, honest, law-abiding, God-fear
ing men who have been paying their ac
counts since the time they first had an item
charged on a day-book?
Moreover, there are men who do not have
any charge accounts at all; who pay cash
for every purchase, whether it is a suit]
of clothes or a sack of peanuts.
If there are to be any heroes selected why
not these? Beloved are they of all trades
men or purveyors., They are the mainstay
of the community.
Foresight of a Statesman.
The Miami (Fla.) Herald of recent date
said editorially:
Vindication comes siow'y, but the
memory of Senator Bacon is honored in
the ratification of the Nicaraguan
treaty, whicn provides tnat this coun
try shall have the option to purchase
a right of way for a canal through
that country for mninety years. We
may mot use it, but that we are forced
to secure the option is a practical vin
dication of the late senator’s foresight
and good judgement. He always be
lieved in the Nicaraguan canal route
rather than the one that was selected,
and time has shown that he was right.
The lamented Georgia senator was .a
statesman of an unusually high order of
ability, and the above is only one instance
of his foresight. All things considered,
Georgia was never represented in the sen
ate by a man who measured more fully up
to what a senator ought to be.
The girl with hips is in style again. No
longer need the buxom Georgia girl roll on
the floor to reduce her weight or look with
envy on the stylish straight lines of her
slender sister. The edict has gone out that
hips are in style again. If the Lord has pro
vided them well and good, and if you have
grown so slender that vou haven’t any hips
to speak of then Dame Fashion is providing
bustles. This spring, however, the bustles
are to be worn in pairs, and on the sides.
Thousands of friends throughout Georgia
will regret to know that Hon. Joe H. Hall
was painfully, and at first thought to be
very seriously. wounded by the automobile
of a speeding joy rider. As it is Mr. Hall
was painfully bruised and suffered the loss
of his teeth. The old war horse of Bibb
has been tackling buzz saws a long time,
and it will take more than an automobile to
put him out of commission.
The Cordele Dispatch and the Cordele
Tribune have consolidated, and will hence
forth be edited by Mr. Charles E. Brown, a
newspaper man of experience and ability.
The News will miss the retiring editor of
the Dispatch, Hon. Max Land, who was a
vigorous, interesting and fearless writcr.
‘Wie wish them both mighty well.
Seldom has any constituency sent to con
gress a man who has shown greater moral
courage than Representative Robt. N. Page,
of North Carolina, who, finding that his own
opinion as to what stand the United States
should take in the new submarine contro
versy with Germany does not coincide with
the president and his own constituents, re
solves not to stand for re-election. It is
an example of moral courage that is seldom
seen in present day politics.
Former Governor Brown, who owns and |
operates a large and up to date flour and}
grist mill in Cherokee county, says he can
not secure enough Georgia raised wheatl
and corn to meet his requirements. A lex-i

governor is very interesting reading, and isl
a strong argument for a larger production of
these cereals. There is a demand for other
crops than cotton.

It is stated that an alleged funny man

Governor Harris and Dr. Hardman spent

YEOMANS MAY BE A CANDIDATE
FOR SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
From the Tifton Gazette.
Col. M. J. Yeomans, of Dawson, who
spent Wednesday in Tifton in the interest
of his client, H. E. Ragsdale, may be a can
didate for speaker of the house if he is re
turned as representative from Terrell next
yvear. Col. Yeomans was for many years
chairman of the state democratic executive
committee, and is one of the ablest meu
bers of the general assemhly. He is a iaw
ver of more than statewide renutation, and
Georgia has few men, if any, bettter versed
in her affairs. While he is not a candidate
for the position as yet we hope he will be
and that he will win. South Georgia has
not had a speaker of the house within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant, and while
the reasons why Col. Yeomans should be
elected are higher than sectional ones every
thing else being equal our section should
sometimes have a show. In this case things
are more than equal.
THE GOOD TORD AND THE GOOD
DEVIL POLITICIANS AT WASHINGTON
From the Savannah Press.
How typical of that slippery sort of poli
tics was the cunning little effort of those
political leaders in Washington o get con
both sides of the issue at once and combdine
in one and the same resoluticn an expres
sion of ‘‘faith in the presidert” with a warn
ing to American citizens to “‘keep off of bel
ligerent armed vessels pending the settle
ment of the submarvine controversy.”’
When, we wonder, will our old-fashioned
politicians find out that the American public
is heartily and entirely sick of this sort of
“good Lord and good devil” method of pc
litical progression? Of course if one keeps
thcroughly greased he slides easily, but
there is just as great a chance of sliding
off as sliding on; more, in fact, for the peo
ple have learned to turn their hands against
those whose smoothnass is their most zon
spicuous quality.
American men ani woren must cross the
ocean. Their business compels it, and their
right ta do =o shoul!d no: ¢ven Le a subject

That an enormonus amcunt of mischief
has already been done by the cringing atti

‘ On a Cash Basis. |
B
From the West Point News.
As previously announced through the ad
vertising columns of the News after the last
of March, 1916, it will be operated on a cash
basis.
All subsecriptions wil be payable in ad
vance.
When the subscription for which you have
paid expires your paper will stop automat
icaily.
That is the only way to operate success
fully a country newspaper and keep the
subscription list free from dead timber.
Nearly all other newspapers have adopted
this policy, and say they would not think of
going back to the old plan.
We are going to burn the bridges behind
us, and will either sink or swim on the
cash in advance plan.
Without making anyvbody mad we expect
to collect for all the past subscriptions due
the News from the honest people who will
pay. From the dishonest ones who will not
pay anything unless they have to we expect
‘to coliect by law. You make an enemy of
some people when you want them to pay
an honest debt, but we truly hope there
are none of that kind here.
Wie want the money; we need and must
have it. Promises are no longer negotiable
at this office. It takes cash in advance to
read the News, and we sincerely hope you
will come across with the long green. and
hurry up and come.
\ithangh we are fond of music the song.
“Oh, Promise Ve,” is not the one we will
ask the subseribers to sing, but instead we
will eniov the charming melody, “‘Here's

P. S.—Some people would rather have a
tooth pulled than pay their subserintion:
we have made arrangements with a dentist
to look after them.

‘ About Cotton 801 l Rot.
From Home and Farm,
With serious and widespread damage in
Texas last season from cotton boll rot or
anthracnose this serious cotton enemy seems
to have pretty well established itself nearly
everywhere in the cotton belt, and numerous
inquiries are coming to us relative to meas
ures of controlling it.
The disease is due to a fungus that at
tacks the cotton boll, any time from the
falling of the bloom wuntil mature. At first
a tiny, pinkish spot, the diseased arnea
enlarges until the whole boll may be affect
ed and destroyed. As is the case with many
other fungus diseases boll rot is usually
worst during wet seasons and in rank grow
ing cotton on heavy land. Particular varie
ties and strains of cotton, too, may be more
seriously affected than others, this having
been especially notable in some strains of
half-and-half and Cook «cottons. Paren
thetically we may say, however, that even
‘with their susceptibility to rot these two
varieties have been among the best yield
ers at several of our Southern experiment
stations.
In so far as remedial measures are con
cerned they are preventive rather than cura
tive, once the disease attacks a field there
being little or nothing that can be done that
vear. Doubtless the best preventive meas
ures consists in planting seed from stalks
and fields that are positively known to be
free from the disease. This is not always
easy, but it can be done. In other words,
rigid seed selection, being extremely care
ful to see that next year's planting seed
have no chance to become infected is the
surest remedy. In this way we have known
badly infected cottons to be entirely freed
of the disease.
Wie seriously doubt the advisability of im
porting supposedly non-infected seed from
regions several hundred miles away for two
reasons: First, the lack of climatic and soil
adaptability of these geed may far more than
offset their rot immunity; and, second, with
the rot so widely prevalent it is very hardl
to be absoslutely certain that any seed are
wholly free of it. l
Mortgages Show Prosperity. l
“People are discovering that the farmer
carrying a mortgage is generally the pros
perous one, while the man without a mort
gage is apt not to be prosperous,’”’ says
Judson C. Welliver in Farm and Fireside.
“The most prosperous farming states are
those with the most mortgage debts; the
least prosperous farming states have the
smallest mortgage burdens.
“Congressman Helvering of Kansas in a
speech recently made this very plain. From
census figures he showed that the four
Southern states of Georgia, Alabama, Lou
isiana and Texas have a total of only $43,-
000,000 of farm mortgages; Wisconsin
alone has many times that amount. Yet
Wisconsin is an ideally prosperous farm
ing state.
“These four Southern states have an aver
age of three tenant farmers to two proprie
tor farmers, while in Wijsconsin there are
six proprietors to one tenant.
“It's the same all through. The best
agricultural states have the most mort
gages and the most proprietor farmers; the
poorest states have fewest mortgages and
fewest proprietor farmers. The mortgage
is the poor man’s stepping stone to owner
ship. A poor man can’'t hope to buy a farm
unless he can mortgage it. The South’s
trouble has been that there is no money to
loan there on farm mortgages. lowa owes
more on farm mortgages than any other
state—about $204,000,000. Nobody doubts
that lowa is quite an agricultural state. anéd
vet Towa’s farm mortgage debt is just about
twice the combined mortgage debt of eleven
Southern states.”
GOOD FOR THAT CONDUCTOR,
From the Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
The Dawson News tells of a railway con
ductor who stopped his train a few days ago
long enough to put off three men who per
sisted in swearing on his train. Did them
exactly right. We knew another conductor
who made some men put up their flasks
of whiskey on a train by telling them that
they could not drink on that train. If the
railroad authorities will stand back of such
men as these decent people traveling on the
railroads will have a much pleasanter time.
We do not recall ever seeing a railroad con
ductor who relished drunken men among
his passengers.
S“EMINENTLY CORRECT.”
From the Hawkinsville News and Dispatch.
We think our esteemed contemporary,
The Dawson News, is eminently correct
when it says: ‘‘Whether or not any of the
charges against Mr. Brandeis are true the
president should withdraw his nomination
to the supreme court bench. Any man
against whom there is the least suspicion
to his professional ‘¢character or integrity,
much less one who has undergone an inves
tigation lasting through weeks, should not
be elevated to the highest tribunal in the
land.”
WHY IS IT THUS?
From the Conyers Times.
One of the mysteries of the age: Why
Monroe wasn't placed in Monroe county,
Forsyth in Forsyth county, Dawson in Daw
son county. Decatur in Decatur county,
Newton in Newton 'county, Macon in Ma
con county, Calhoun in Calhoun county,
Franklin in Franklin county, Ciayton in
Claytor county, Lumpkin in Lumpkin coun
ty, and Colquitt in Colguitt county.
THINKS TWO YEARS LONG ENOUGH.
From the Lyons Progress.
The Dawson News and other papers want
the state officers elected for four years the
same as those of the county. Instead of
that it might be a good thing to amend the
amendment providing for four year terms
for county officers to two as formerly. Four
vears is a long time to have to tolerate a
sorry officer.
CRUEL TO ATLANTANS.
From the Valdosta Times.
Tom lLoyless did a cruel thing when he
turned Atlantans against peanuts at grand
opera, for eating peanuts largely compen
sated some of the Atlantans for having to
sit and look on while the program was being
carried out. Grand opera without peanuts
and gum is like Sunday at Thunderbolt
without a balloon ascension.
OH, DON'T ASK US,
From the Griffin News and San.
“Conversation” stockings are an
nounced as the latest in weman’s hos
‘ferv. Wiell, at that, we have seen some
samples that were loud enough to
. talk.—Dawson News.
If they could talk what would they say?
I Mr. Rives to Mr. Gurr.
~ Editor Dawson News: Mr., Gurr is mis
‘taken. Mobs do not belong to the ‘‘best
citizens”” of the counties in which such
things are formed. There used to be a
?enus homo formed of the degenerates,
rom the slave owner, the non-slave own
ing land 'holder and non holder of lands,
called by the white people ‘‘crackers,” and
by the negroes ‘‘pore white trash.”” These,
with some bold spirit whose father or him
self, by ‘“‘grinding the face of the poor’ and
stealing where opportunity offered from the
well-to-do, has acquired some property, as
a leader constitutes the average mob. Some
years since a young man acted wrongfully—
led by his passions into going into another
‘man's home. The aggrieved parties were
cowards, and tried to get up a mob. The
young man was offered by a friend three
alternatives. First, “I have a horse and
buggy; we will go before the judge of the
superior court and take peace warrants.”
Second, ‘“You can come to my house; we
have three good shot guns and plenty of
shells loaded with buckshot, or you can
leave.”” He chose the latter. The mob
thought he staid, but did not attempt to
molest him /because they knew somebody
was going to die if they did, and none of
them were prepared for hell.
As to change of venire by the state, no
one knows better than Mr. Gurr that the
furthermost removed county of any state
from any other county in that state is near
er than the farthest removed spot of the
county of London from the city of London
in King John’s time, when magna carta
was granted, taking into consideration the
increased facilities for moving from one
place to another and the improved roads
then and now. And as Mr. Gurr would col
lect from Georgia his per diem for serving
in the house and if a layman his per diem
for jury duty, while the member of parlia
ment and the juror in those times servedl
the state at his own charges. There is but
one amendment needed—place the state
and the defendant upon the same basis as
to appeals and as to pay for counsel, and
limit the defendant to the counsel appointed
by the state unless both sides are equally
able to employ counsel, but keep them even
here, and we will have less of miscarriage
of justice and have less of “the good family™ |
from which our lawbreakers, if white, in-|
variably come. ANDREW P. RIVES. '

I Advice For Wilson. |
From the Louisville Courier-Journal,
A candidate must have behind him his
party united by strong conviction, generat
ing enthusiasm for its traditions and ideals.
Although no fewer than 4,000,000 of vot
ers, usually counted as republican, went
skylarking after Roosevelt in 1912 as many
as 3,000,000 voters held to Taft. These
3,000,000 embodied more of true convic
tion and steadfast manhood than were em
braced by the 4,000,000 composing the
omnium-gatherum of fools, cranks and
traitors who went astray. Here today and
gone tomorrow, no one of these could give
a definite or sane reason why he wanted to
break the third-term tradition and, by
the return of Roosevelt to the white house,
substantially establish life-tenure. That
were to diazify the presidency and Mexican
ize the republic. The political meandering
of such cattle can never be forecast. But,
in the coming presidential election, we may
take it for granted that they will land on
the side that is most visionary and mistaken.
This, however, mereély in passing, as a
reminder that whilst politics is in something
of a fluid state there is yet solid ground on
either side of the old party alignments. The
president will do well to shinny on the dem
ocratic side. He has already approached
perilously near the republican side. At
least, hig ship purchase bill and his tariff
commission bill will never be accepted by
democrats as other than concessions to
something very like protectionism and to
republicanism even worse than subsidy. He
may drive away from the polls in November
as many old-line democrats standing by the!
guns of their convictions as there old-line
republicans in 1912 who voted for Taft,
refusing the Roosevelt lure. That might
defeat him in the election. |
It is true that the republicans are all fin
gers and thumbs. They have no strong men.
on whom they may unite. Roosevelt, re
solved to rule or ruin, it may be a case of
be-dam’d if they do and be-dam’d if they
don’t. Meanwhile, and nevertheless, the}
president should pin his faith to democracy; |
and, in short and in fine, he should trim his
lamp and read his Courier-Journal, loving 1:1
the while! J
| The Pink 801 l Worm. |
e
From the Progressive Farmer,
The American boll weevil was enough.
Now it seems that we are threatened with
the importation of the pink boll worm,
which we are assured is distinct from the
boll weevil and has never been found in
this country.
The pink boll worm was originally found
in India, and is mot uncommon in Egypt,
British East Africa, Hawaii and other places
where cotton is produced. The larva is found
in the cotton seeds. From this there devel
ops a moth which in turn breeds the pink
boll worm, most destructive to cotton.
The goverhment has issued orders requir
ing the fumigation of foreign cotton and
certain grades of cotton waste at all ports
of entry as a precaution against the admis
sion of the pink boll worm. It is said that
the cost of fumigation is about $3 a bale,
which will be reduced to $1 when all the
machinery is in operation. The process of
fumigation is thus described in the Boston
Transeript:
“There are two plants in Boston, repre
senting an investment of $500,000. At the
Terminal Fumigating Company’s plant there
will be four cylinders or retorts, with a ca
pacity of fifty bales of cotton each, so that
it will be possible to fumigate two hundred
bales at a time. About two and a half hours
are required for the fumigation of a single
lot of cotton, the bales being subjected to an
acid vapor within the cylinders for forty-five
minutes. This vapor is deadly for even hu
man beings. A vacuum is created in the eyl
inders before the vapor is shot in, in order
to draw off all of the air within the bales
and replace it with vapor.”
The order of the government is that for
eign cotton may be imported only through
A FORWARD MOVEMENT AT SHELLMAN
From the Wiesleyan ‘Christian Advocate.
Our people at Shellman, led by the pas
tor, Rev. Leroy Warwick, are moving for a
new church building. With a partial can
vass of the membership mnearly enough has
been pledged to secure the success of the
movement. They plan to build a brick
building to cost something like eight thous
and dollars. With the new building on Lee
street in Americus already assured and with
the one in Shellman practically assured the
Americus district is showing a forward |
movement that is gratifying. |
