BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE.
The splendid people of Uvalda, Seward and
Charlotte school uistricts in Montgomery county
evidently believe that good schools are the best
investment they can make for their home commu
nity. They have just voted overwhelmingly in
favor ol having a large consolidated school to be
located at Uvalda. and the plans they have in mind
look to making this school one of the best in the
county.
'llie plan of consolidating a number of small
schools into one large school has been tried out in
hundreds ol communities and has always proved
satisfactory, the stimulus of a large school, of bet
ter teachers, being so gratifying in results that
neither pupils nor parents would go back to the
old way. ,
We are sure this will be the experience of the
people in these three districts and we congratulate
them heartily and sincerely over the steps they are
taking for the upbuilding ol their communities.

A GREAT VISION,
In an address to the farmers of the state, re
viewing the effort which has been made to estab
lish a state port and terminals in Georgia this year,
Mayor Murray M. Stewart of Savannah tells the
farmers that the effort to establish a state port is
their fight and that once established these termi
nals will prove a great boon to the agricultural in
terests of the state. We quote from the address
in part:
I'M -
"At the State Port and Terminals, which arc to be de
signed primarily to serve the needs and welfare of the
farmers of Georgia, adequate provision will be made for
the warehousing of your products in a safe and cheap way.
For your perishable outputs there will be cold storage
facilities furnished whereby you can become a livestock,
grower and meat shipper, an industry our state i 3 pecu-g
liarly adapted to, and which all students of our agricultu
ral conditions realize we must turn to in a large way to
offset, the devastation of the boll weevil and to maintain
our position as a wealth producing commonwealth. The
facilities for the 'storage and shipping of grains will be
such as to promote their cultivation in Georgia on a scale
hitherto undreamed of. The expenses of warehousing
and handling these and all other farm commodities will
be so minimized in the interest of the producing farmsr
that he will enjoy hitherto unknown and undreamed of
advantages in the worldwide marketing of his products.
"This is a vision, hut it is the vision of practical, hard
headed men, who have seen and studied what has been
accomplished elsewhere along these lines, and who know'
beyond question that so great a state as Georgia can sur
pass what has been done elsewhere. The results of sim
ilar state ports and terminals in other sections demon
strate most conclusively that a Georgia state port and ter
minals, constructed under the plans of an expert port en
gineer, can be made, if properly located, self-supporting as
to operating expenses and provide for its sinking fund and
the payment of its bond interest charges. The selection
of the site for such a state port and terminals should be
placed in the hands of a board of competent engineers and
commissioners whose sole purpose will he to protect and
promote the interests of Georgia. There is no reason why
a modern plant of this character should entail one dollar
of expense upon the taxpayers of Georgia. To the con
trary, it should pay for itself and in the end prove a source
of great and ever increasing revenues to the state.”

AN IMPORTANT EVENT.
The sale next, Monday at the farm of Rich
mond & McArthur near Ailey of pure-bred Durot
sows and gilts should be largely attended by farm
ers in this section and we hope to see the majority
of the hogs that are sold stay in this territory.
This firm is one of the pioneers in the raising
of pure-bred hogs and they are doing a great work
in routing the piney-woods rooter and in aiding
the farmers to improve the strain of their herds.
The farmer who goes in to raise pure-bred hogs
will find they will make him two dollars where a
scrub hog would make him only one.

BEATING THE BOLL WEEVIL.
With cotton receipts in towns in this section
double for the month of August what they have
ever been, and with farmers reporting very satis
factory yields from early planting, there is a feel
ing among farmers in this section that the boll wee
vil can be whipped, and the best informed farmers
believe that in a few years little will be heard of
the ravages of this pest in South Georgia.
Gratification with the yield, satisfaction with
the price of cotton, and disastrous results in hun
dreds of cases where farmers have sought a sub
stitute money crop, makes it apparent jiow that the
acreage of cottQn in this immediate section will be
argelv increased next year. The hard years seem
to have taught the farmers the wisdom of raising
their own supplies, and feed supplies will come in
for a good acreage, while hogs, cattle and poultry
will he given more and more attention. Agricult
urally and in every other way South Georgia is
coming hack strong.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE ELLIS
HEALTH LAW.
The Georgia State Board of Health recently
issued the following statement regarding the work
of the Ellis Health Law in Georgia since the adop
tion of the law in 1914:
' -Iv
The Ellis Heftlth Law was adopted by the General As
sembly of Georgia in 1914. Since then about thirty coun
ties, through the two necessary grand jury recommenda
tions, have made the provisions of this law operable.
About 50,000 school children receive medical inspection
each year through the operation of this law. About 5,000
with handicapping defects receive corrective treatment.
The Commissioners of Health, operating under the El
lis Health Law, gave free of charge 85,000 doses of anti
, typhoid vaccine in 1921.
0 Last year 6,679 sanjtary privies were installed by the
Commissioners of Health. Typhoid, dysentery, hookworm
and summer diarrhoea of infants will not be controlled by
any other method in the rural districts.
There is annually in Georgia a great sacrifice of hu
man life on the altar of indifference. During 1921 798
deaths were caused by typhoid fever, 415 by dyphtheria,
and 468 by malaria. 1230 infants under two years of age
died of dysentery and diarrhoea. During their hours of
heroic effort to establish a new life in this world more
than 500 would-be mothers made the.supreme sacrifice.
These and many other lives should, can, and for the
most part will be saved if well organized health depart
ments, well manned by a well equipped personnel, are es
tablished under the Ellis Law in each county of the state.
Cost ? This will in dollars and cents be about one
tenth of the actual amount it will save the people.
We believe that one of the finest investments
any county can make is to have a well organized
health department. The counties of Treutlen and
Montgomery and Toombs could unite for the or
ganization of such a department, the counties be
ing considered as a unit, while the expense would
I he prorated. Many of the larger counties of the
I state cover a larger area than these three counties
r and serve a greater population. By working to
' gether these three counties could secure all the ben
efits of the health work at one-third of the expense
' entailed where each county has its own health de
partment. '
