FARMER’'S MEETING A SUCCESS
Last Friday evening at Lynnwood School a large number of
farmers, ladies and gentlemen, were present to show their interest in
Rural improvement. It is seldom that so much interest is demon
strated with the rural population as was manifested here on this oc
casion. It is gratifying to see the ladics out to encourage this work.
'l:hé main object of this meeting was to encourage and organize
a cream route for the farmers of this section. That this object was
not a failure is proved by the fact that 65 cows were pledged and al
most every one present, including the ladies, promised to give their
support and to encourage pthers in the work as much as possible.
Since leaving this meeting others have enrolled from two to five cqws
cach, and still others express their willingness to enter later. The
route will start with as many as 90 cows, as we have 75 of this num
ber, this makes the route acertainty. Go to it and get everything
ready. We will have the required number in a few days and I am
quite sure that we will soon run the number as high as 130.
The first speaker was Mr. Van Delsen, of Moultrie, who has
proved his ability as a business man, and one qualified to manage a
business for others. Mr. Van Delsen explained very clearly just how
the Creamery was organized, the co-operative features, what they
would do, and just what the farmers could depend upon.
Mr. IF. HsDennis, U. S. D. of Dairy Division, followed Mr. Van
Delsen, going further into the detuiis of dairying and the creamery
business. He brought out very ¢bly the beauty and all the advan
tages of dairying; but he did not forget to single out emphatically
the dangers and possiblie disappomtnients to those 'who dared to Tor
get cleanliness and the proper care of the cow. | : ;
Mr. V. L. Collier, County Agent for Colquitt county, came on
with a good talk on “Feeds and Feeding.” This talk was timely and
worth considering. 1t 15 uscless for farmers to try to go into any
line of live stock improvement, without first looking after feeding.
Grow your own' feeds on the farm and not depend on the Western
farmers, or others that may figure into these th'ings. :
< The talks given by these gentlemen were interesting and of
the most important educational value. Those who did not hear them
missed a great treat. However, 1 will state here that, though our
crowd was very good, there were many others who would have been
present but they got confused in the date of the lilecting. Gl
1 will suggest that all encourage the cream route work, even if
this kind of work does not suit you. We may have.a few disappoint
ments, but this will prove a blessing in the end.
. We do not learn to spell until we stand up and miss a féw. We
must have a diversity of employement as well as a diversity of crops.
T3P PITTMAN.
: ANOTHER BRITISH “VICTORY.”
“lt 1s a victory so momentous that the results may prove the
turning point of the war.”—London Morning Post. -
“Immense forces of the second greatest naval power in the
world have been driven to port as before some furious storm of ven
genance."—London Telegraph.
“At the first real trial of strength the British navy has achieved
a glorious victory, only robbed of its full fruit by the enemy’s flight.”
—London Graphic. S e
In the absence of our naval expert-—who has gone fishing—we
have reserved our comment on the great battle between the British
and German fleets, but the above compels us to rise and remark:
That if Great Britain had one half as much fighting as “claim
g —to put it mildly—in this war, the conflict would have been over
long ago.
But just what satisfaction the British can find in merely claim
ing victories, instead of winning them, passes our comprehension.
Apparently the British government does not understand, that
even though it holds back the news as long as it can, and then dis
torts and colors it to suit its purpose—as it has done from the seige
of Leige down to date—the facts always come to light in the end;
and that after reading the facts the public can, and docs, draw its own
'c-oxlqlusi(vxls, despite the aid of officials censors.
If the great naval engagement off the Jutland coast on Wednes
day last was not a substantial victory for the Germans—in the ratio
of about five to one as to tonnage destroyed; about three to one as
to the lives lost and about two to one as to ships sunk—then Trafal
gar was a drawn battle and Dewey met defeat at Manila.
And we belieye our naval expert would say the same if he were
here, and that anybody else’s naval expert would say as much—pro
vided he is not hired to make it appear otherwise.
On the whole, therefore, after reading and digesting the sub
sequent “news” of the great naval engagement, as it has been dished
out to us in broken doses by the London censors—since the British
have had time to catch their breath—we are inclined to agree with
the Baltimore News when it says:
“There is no denying the fact that, as isolated battles go, there
has now been a desperate stand-up and knock-down fight between
the two fleets and that Germany administered a stinging defeat upon
ber enemy. Her victory was decisive even if the battle was not so.
The moral effect must be tremendous.”—Augusta Chronicle.

DOING FINE WORK
Athens, Ga., June 4.—One of
the finest pieces of work attempt
ed by the student body of the
University of Georgia is the vol
untary movement on the part of
fifty-eight men from thirty-seven
counties of this state, who have
united to campaign for real com
pulsory eucation in Georgia.
Marold D Meyer, A B of
three years ago, teacher in one of
the middle Georgia town systems
for two years, studying to secure
his master’s degree this month at
the University, and elected to the
chair of history for the next year
at the state Normal School, has,
in partial fulfilment of his A. M.
work prepared a thesis on com
pulsory education—on the “Social
Values of Compulsory Educa
tion,” with special reterence to
(Georgia.
The thesis contains a history
of the movement, a study of the
various laws of the states, a chap
ter on illiteracy and school at
}lcml:mcc, and a main, strong clear
argument regarding the social
and economic values of compul
sory education. There is an in
troduction by Dr. Howard Odum,
of the Peabody School of Educa
tion, University of Georgia. Many
maps of Georgia add to the full
-less of the treatise.
The following yvoung men of the
aniversity made up funds to pub
lish this thesis as a bulletin, and
to send a copy to every member
f the present legislature, every
member-elect for the coming
term, ‘and to many leaders of edu
ation and legislation in the state:

FEOERAL GOURT HEARS l
Atlanta, June s.—Judges New
man, Speer and Pardee, sitting in
the federal court here today, took
up the case of the two carloads
of liquor at Ocilla for adjudica
tion of the question of whether
or not the prohibition law is re
troactive as applied to shipments
made prior to May 1. The point
in the case, as brought out by
questions of the court, is whe-‘
ther the return shipment bill for
this particular liquor 1s dated
prior to May 1.
Though notice was served on
the governor, and by the govern
or on the attorney general last
week, that the case would be
heard today, there is no attorney
of record representing the state
in hearing the case. Thomas B.
Felder, attorney for the Anti-Sa
loon league, announced in court
that he would represent the state
and that announcement was ac
cepted. Governor Harris stated
tonight that "if 1. B, Felder is
representing the state he knows
nothing about it. The matter was
‘rtl'm‘rul by him, he said, to At
torney General Clifford Walker.
i Two Carloads at Stake
C e arguments involve the case
‘uf the Ocilla, Pinebloom & Val
‘dosta railroad, which 1s seeking to
r}n'c\'cm Sheriff Ricketson, of Cof
fec county, from completing the
[:»ci:/,nr(: of two carloads of liquor.
According to testimony laid be
fore the ftederal judges, Sheriff
Ricketson, acting under instruc
'ti«ms from a state judge, attempt
ed to confiscate the whisky, bill
lm! as “houschold goods,” shipped
lover the plaintiff's road to Wiley
\Williams and George Davis. The
!v:u‘s containing the liquor were
sidetracked in Coffee county.
The railroad obtained a’ tem
porary order from Judge Speer
i Macon restraining the sheriff
from making the seizure. Later,
the sheriff got an order from
l\!u(l;z‘c Speer appointing custodi
ans for the consignment and the
railroad then filed an amended
petition for injunction alleging
that the liquor had been rebilled
to Jacksonville, Fla., before the
Georgia law became effective.
Walker Filed Brief
Clifford Walker, attorney gen
eral of Georgia, when asked last
night if Thomas B. Felder had
been authorized to act for the
state in the Coffee county whisky
case in the federal court at At
lanta, said:
“I have heard nothing about it.
Thomas B. Felder is in the case,
but has not been authorized to
act for the state. T filed a brief in
the case todav. ‘

newspaper exchanges of recent

BAPTIST BOYS GO ON
CAMPING EXPEDITION
Under the leadership of Mr. A.
Gaskin, the boys of Class No. 11
of the Baptist Sunday School left
Monday for Blue Lake, near Bo
wen’s Mill, where they will spend
the week in camp. Boating, fish
ing, swimming and killing mos
quitoes will be enjoyed to the full
est extent by these young woods
men.
The class, in ages eleven, is
composed of twelve boys, none
of whom have seen camp life be
fore s 0 they will surely have a
}merry old time of it—and what
fish stories they will tell when
they get home Saturday. The
boys will attend the Baptist Sun
day School picnic Friday, if
enough of them have sustained
the strain of camp life at that
time.
Messrs. Raymond Butler, Fitz
Morris and Cliff Miller are also
camping at the same place for the
week. These young men will look
after the safety of the little fel
lows while in the water.
