Compulsory Education.
The ladies of the state, it seems
are starting a campaign for com
pulsory education and they have
addressed the following to the
members of Legislature:
To the Legislature of Georgia :
We, the members of the Nancy
Hart Chapter, of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, do here
by petition and urge your body to
pass a Compulsory Education Law,
at the coming session of the Legis
lature, for the following iea3ou :
Many of our poor white child
ren of the state, and especially
those who live in the country, are
growing up illiterate, and there
fore unfit to become the best citi
zens of which they are capable—
not for lack of school facilities,
but for lack of appreciation of the
need of education as a preparation
for their life work.
Many of the natural resources of
the state are lying undeveloped,
owning far lass to lack of capital
than to the lack of skilled labor to
develop them and there is no such
thing as skilled labor without a
good elementary education. For
example, the South can never
manufacture anything but the
grades of cotton goods, in
which there is the least profit, un
til it has better educated and
therefore more intelligent and
more skilled operators to spin,
weave, bleach and dye the fabric
Germany’s wonderful develop
ment and supremacy, is based
first upon a good elementry educa
tion. for each kind of manufactur
ed product.
If Georgia is to develop her
people and resources, she must
educate her children.

Opportunity For Profit.
Washington.-The opportunities
for profit which the raising of al
falfa oilers the farmers of the
Southeast is indicated by letters
recieved by the land and industrial
department of the Southern rail
way, showing increased interest in
• the production of alfalfa and high
ly profitable results in widely sep
■ arated districts.
, Fort and Stone of Dunleith,
Washington county, Mississippi,
owners of a plantation in the delta,
reported that on twenty-eight acres
seeded in the fall of 1909,168 8 tons
) were produced at a cost of $598.05.
They figured this hay to be worth
r sls per ton in the barn though hay
I was selling from S2O to $24 per ton.
r At this low rating they received
’ a profit of $1,940 on the twenty
eight aci’Hs, the hay costing them
; only $8.47 per ton. Reports from
the deta show that about fifty
farmers are now grjwing alfalfa
with success, all having seeded
their fields in the last three or
four years.
J. W. Fisher of Newport in the
East Tennessee section, writes
that he is greatly pleased with re
sults, huving averaged five tons
per acre, and finding a ready sale
at $22 per ton, but he has found
the hay so good that he prefers
feeding it to his own stock to sell
ing it. He has grown alfalfa on
upland red calcarious clay, gen
eral throughout East Tennessee.
Success in growing alfalfa is aiso
reported by growers in Southern
Virginia, North Carolina and Ala
bama and the acreage devoted to
alfalfa in all the Southeastern
states is growing steadly.
Characteristics of a Mule.
A mule is the smartest animal
of the horse kind on earth. A mule
is very much like a man in that
respect, Bays a writer in the Stock
man He has all kinds of good
sense, and if you treat him right
he will ,tct right, and if you do
not he will be a good deal of a
kicker. There is only one differ
ence that I can see in that respect
You take men in our country and
they are not, as a general thing,
much enamored of their step
mothers, hut you can takG a mule
and get him accustomed to his
stepmother and he will go through
fire to follow this mare anywhere.
They are easily handled in that
respect. Put a mule with a gray
mare with a bell on her, and you
can handle the mule any way you
want to. Put him in a pasture with
two wires around it and he will
stay there unless he has been
spoiled. No, sir; a mule is a very
sensitive and intelligent animal.
He is no fool, by any means.
Hobble Skirt Before Bar of Justice.
London, Feb. 12.—A little
comedy was enacted at the West
minster county court the other
day, when the trials and adven
tures of a hobble skirt were related.
An actress, sued for the price of
the freak fashion, pleaded that the
costume was a misfit.
Upon the suggestion of the
judge she donned the garment,
and appearing before him, pointed
out that she could not bend her
1-nees. Also she explained that
she could not get into a bus with
it on. adding,“lt is looser now be
cause it split in an attempt to
walk ir. it. It took me throe hours
to go from Twickenham to Rich
mond, and at the ferry I was stuck
on the bank unable to get into the
boat. They hud to lift me in, and
I had to be lifted out. When I
found I could not get into a bus,
I had to have a taxicab home.
That was the only time I wore a
hobble sKirt,”
Congress, after all the grand
stand play in throwing out the
House bathtubs for economy’s
sake, has quietly voted them back
again. But if the Senate will only
throw out the white-wash pail and
let it stay out all will be well.
In tombstone inscription it is
alwuvs the rule to let. the reader
understand that, the person buried
there has at sometime past, died.
It should be the same with polici
eal tombstones.
Peary says anybody can fake up
a story about the North Pole that,
would deceive an expert. Is this a
confession?
After all, there is less policical
corruption in Adams county Ohio,
than in New York or Philadelphia.
THE LYONS PROGRESS, MARCH 8 lyil
Senator Root of New York, a
“trust tool” had to dig up the race
question in discussing the propos
ed amendment of theConsti
tufcion for the election of
U. S. Senators by the people, in
stead of by state legislature where
corruption has become so preva
lent—the candidate with the big
gest “barrel” usually getting the
Senatorship, if it is a Republican
legislature. Root cannot point out
a single Southern State in which a
millionaire has ever bought a Sen
atorship, such as Mark Hanna
did, and Guggenheim of Colorado
did, and such as Loriiner’s friends
recently did in Illinois not to men
tion many others. No, Senator
Root, you who pay $25,000 a year
for rent alone of your palatial
home, who made millions out of
corporations as an attorney, whose
interest you still serve in the Sen
ate —no, you cannot scare the
North or South with your “bug
bear,” for the Ncrth lias suffered
most from the present system of
electing Senators, and is the most
eager for reform, which is bound
to come. The present system is
intolerable.
New Ground News.
Guess who got lost Saturday
evening.
J. W. Odom and wife visited the
home of his father last Saturday
night and met many smiles.
Guess what girl said she was go
ing to send her best fellow a nice
postal. Don’t ask me, ask M. E.
about it.
A hustling farmer has started
girl hunting in our section. That,
must mean cake soon. How about
it, H. L.?
A crowd of boys went, birdhunt
ing one day last week. Mr. Ganev
was one among them. What’s the
news boys?
Messers. Nunn and Clifton made
a flying trip over to the home of
S. D Proctor Sunday last. Come
again friends.
The death angle visited our
neighborhood last Thursday and
called away two of our old citizens
old “Uncle Major Jones and old
“Uncle Wiley” Sharpe Tulip,
“Savannah authorities are in
vestigating a vote- buying charge. ”
Wake-up, Atlanta; Savannah is
getting ahead of you in prancing
into the lamp-light.
Is the present unpleasantness
in Mexico still a “revolution.” or
merely a stubborn case of “disor
derly conduct?”
