NEWNAN HERALD
NEWNAN, FIRDAY-, MAY 7.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
IN ADVANCK.
Congressman Adamson Speaks at
Chattanooga Convention.
Congressman Adamson was one of
the speakers last week at the Southern
Conference on Education and industry,
which met in Chattanooga on Monduy
last.
The main points stressed in his ad
dress, as reported in full by the Chatta
nooga papers, were —
1. Agriculture the support anil main
stay ot civilization; (a) The handinnid-
en of agriculture is commerce, which
contributes to production, and after
wards distributes the produce of agri
culture; (b) Education, the purpose and
object of this convention, promotes both
agriculture and commerce.
2. Science has harnessed the elements
of nature for the benefit of agriculture;
(a) The various beneficial uses to which
the farmer cun apply electricity; (b)
How electricity can be cheaply secured,
locally and in small units, by improving
the shoals and rapids in the small
streams which are not navigable, but in
a larger and more beneficial degree by
the improvement of the dam sites in
the navigable streams.
3. The dam sites in the navigable
streams can be utilized for hydro-elec
tricity only by consent of Congress; (a)
The Federal Government may, at its
own expense, erect dams und locks for
navigation, und, being both the owner
and the sovereign, may by contract
permit capital to use the surplus water;
(b) Congress may consent lor private
capital to erect the locks and dams, in
consideration of the use and benefit of
the surplus water; (c) In both cases
the furmerH secure the benefit of trans
portation by water, and, in addition, the
fnrmers in greater nftmber through a
larger territory, more cheaply and with
more regularity and certainly, secure
all the benefits of hydro-electricity for
domestic purposes, besides participa
ting in the common advantage of all
kinds of manufacturing to furnish their
supplies more cheaply and conveniently,
and fill up the country with railroads
operated by electricity.
4. Thenon-navigable streams are gen
erally too small for large manufactur
ing plants which benefit the general
public; neither docs money spent in im
proving them benefit the public by pro
moting navigation. It is far better for
all parties concerned that private capi
tal be encourag'd to develop power
sites in navigable streams, for thereby,
without cost to the Government, we re
alize the double benefit of securing both
navigation und hydro-electricity. Un
less we do encourage private capital to
operate in navigable streams that < apital
goes to Canada or Norway, where liberal
inducements are offered. In consequence
we not only lose capital, forfeit the
promotion of navigation, and find the
water-powers in non navigablo streams
insufficient to supply electricity for pub
lic purposes, but we also suffer the
hardships of having our farmers and
manufacturers pay the freight on the
raw material from Tennessee, Georgia,
Florida and North Carolina to those
factories established in foreign coun
tries, und then nay the freight to re
turn the finished product to our own
country.
5. It is obvious that there is no bet
ter field for education to perform its
best service by educating agriculture,
commerce, legislators and politicians*,
l.et us institute a propaganda of wis
dom and honesty to counteract the her
esies, demagoguery and machinations
of private interests, which have so long
obstructed the adoption and use of
those means and resources which can
so greatly and grandly promote our
prosperity and greatness.
The Economic Regeneration of Asia.
Sherwood hjddy in World's Work.
The economic awakening of Asia is
unmistakable. During the latter half
of the nineteenth century the trade of
India increased fourfold and that of
China sixfold. The trade of Japan has
increased sevenfold in twenty years.
But the twentieth century will see far
greater developments in the East than
the nineteenth. The simple age of ag
riculture is giving way to an age of in
dustry, handicrafts to national com
merce, and isolation to the new means
of communication that are producing a
new national and international con
sciousness. The chimneys of the great
factories of Osakn and Calcutta tower
like those of Birmingham. A decade or
two ago scavengers were picking up
old horseshoes in the streets of London
and shipping them out to make third-
rate plows for the farmers on the hills
of central China. To day, digging under
those hills in the four central provinces,
they find what may prove to be the
grentest coalfields in the world —enough
in the Shansi province alone to supply
the world for more than a thousand
years, according to the estimates of the
German geologist, Baron von Richtho
fen. In central China they have found
iron ore better for casting than that
used to-day in Pittsburg. The great
Hanyang Iron and Steel Works at Wu
chang, across from Hankow—the Chi
cago of China—employs 4,000 workmen,
and it is turning out the highest quality
of steel rails for the new railroads of
China. If China's manufactures were
developed as efficiently as those of
America, the gross returns would equal
the entire national debt ($$77,000,000)
in three weeks. Though retarded for a
short time by the adjustment of her
political difficulties, it will surely de
velop these vast resources.
A dishonest man may be guarded
against, but the errors of a fool are
costly in the extreme.

“What’s in a Name.”
Tarrytnwn. N. Y., Daily Nows.
The people whom we call Servians
insist that they are really "Serbians"
or "Serbs," and that the name of their
country is "Serbia." Certainly they
ought to know. And certainly there is
no reason why English speaking people,
whose language so easily admits all
word-forms, should refuse them their
proper appellation.
This isn't merely a question of spell
ing and pronunciation, hut of national
pride. The term Snrvia is too sugges
tive of the Roman word "servi,” which
means “servants" or "slaves," and is
naturally resented by a race of fighters.
If we grant Servia the right, howev
er, to demand that her own name for
herself be adopted by the world, where
shall we stop? Husn't every race, ev
ery country and every city a similar
right? Hasn't "Habana," for exam
ple, a right to its "b" 9
And why should we go on misnaming
Italian cities? Why, following the bar-
harious English pronunciation, should
we call Leggiorno "Leghorn”? Why
should we follow the French in dubbing
Firenze "Florence” and Napoli "Na
ples” and Venezia "Venice"? By the
same token, what right have the Ger
mans to call Venezia by the outlandish
title "Venedig”? And what right have
the French and Spanish to call London
"Londres"?
We have generally adopted German
names wilhout perversion, but why say
"Vienna” for Wien, or why say "Mun
ich” when its inhabitants say "Mun-
echen?"
And to carry the point still further,
why do we call the Teutons Germans,
adopting the old Roman word for a peo
ple who have never used it for them-
Helves? The Germans are "Deutscher, ”
or "Dutch’," and their country is
"Deutschland” or "Dutchland.” We
have given their rightful name to the
Hollanders. Similarly we persist in
calling the historic people at the lower
end of the Balkan peninsula Greeks,
and their country Greece, although
they are and always have been "Hel
lenes," and their country "Hellas”?
Maybe one of these days the geogra
phers and historians will start all over
again and agree to use the native
names everywhere, just as we all ac
quiesced recently when Russia declared
that the artificial, non-Russian St. Pe
tersburg should be thenceforth "Petro-
grad.”
A Sick Headache.
Mrs. A. L. Luekie, East Rochester,
N. V., was a victim of sick headache
and despondency, caused by a badly
weakened and debilitated condition of
her stomach, when she began taking
Chamberlain's Tablets. She says: "I
found them pleasant to take, also mild
and effective. In a few weeks' time I
was restored to my former good health.”

The Staggering Cost of War.
Atlanta Constitution.
Imagination palls at the staggering
figures which represent the cost of the
European war. It has been figured
] that in the first six months the ex-
I pense to the warring nations reached
i $8,400,000,000, a sum sufficient to main-
] tain the United States Government,
with room for luxurious expenditure,
i for a period of six years!
In men, eight months’ losses reach
| 5,950,000. It is as though New York
city and all its suburbs, even down the
! Jersey coast, had been swept into the
sea. It is hs though Georgia’s entire
population had been blotted o’'t twice
over, and the avenging hand hud gone
for victims into neighboring States.
And still this is but a beginning. It
does not take into account the devasta
tion of homes and fields; it ignores the
cruel and sweeping destruction of Bel- j
gium; of the immense territory, too, |
covered by present operations, and with-'
in which more than 10,000,000 persons,
it is estimated, have been driven from
| their homes. It does not figure lost
J production; thousands of those men
were taken from field and factory,
where they were helping to feed and
clothe the world.
When the nations come to figure up
the real cost of their sanguinary enter
prise, these figures will seem paltry.
Of the coat in men, in the tears and
heartaches of widows and orphans,
there can be no accounting. But when
they come to foot the bills for that de
struction called necessary to the prose
cution of the war, there are nations
among them which, it would seem,
must he beggared for many years to
esme.
Snakes and Some People.
Dawson Nows.
The late George P. Woods, who es-
tabliahed the Hawkinsville Dispatch in
the early sixties and until hiB death
about twenty yearH ago was a Nestor of
journalism in the wiregrass section of
Georgia, told one snake story that
added to his fame. It closed a friendly
competition with a neighboring journal
as to which could spin the most improb
able yarn. The story told, in graphic
language, of a battle between a rattle
snake and a kingsnake, in which each
reptile finally seized the other by the
tail and commenced swallowing. They
swallowed and swallowed until there
was nothing left of either but a greasy
spot.
After relating the above, which is re
membered by the older editors of the
State, the Tifton Gazette makes some
remarks that are anything but a snake
story. It says:
"There are a lot of people who
haven’t any more sense than George
Woods’ snakes. You will find them in
every community. They chew the rag
and fight one another until (here is
nothing left of both but the scene of
the conflict.
“We have seen towns that way. The
citizens get into the habit of scrapping
with each other until they are soon fit
for nothing else. They waste the ener
gies needed to push their town along in
pulling one against the other, and make
themselves so ridiculous by their petty
factional fights that a disgusted public
moves on and leaves them to their fate.
"Do you live in a town that has taken
itself by the tail and is trying to swal
low? If you do, try to straighten things
out before there is nothing left of ei
ther of you or the town but a greasy
spot.”

The Fashions of War.
Now York Timed.
Just as the women have all har
dened their throats and everyone’s ton
sils have been removed, the war comes
to turn things topsy-turvy. Military
styles are coming in and collars are to be
buttoned tight to the chin. The advice
given by French physicians to the sol
diers at the front indicates that perhaps
we have been doing just the wrong
thing in the matter of throats and low
shoes. Woolen socks and a mufHer make
up the armor of health. Most women re-
bed against the military collar, but com
promise is not permitted.
Even the clever little dinkum that
mutlled up the throat and left the chest
exposed just below the collar-bone—the
strategic position of non-specific bron
chitis—has been frowned upon by the
National Cloak, Suit and Dress Manu
facturers’ Association.
The color of the new suits is to be
battleship gray. Not a nice color, and
one that tends to increase a natural de
pression of spirits. There is something
not a little gruesome in tins' general
adoption of the war color as a uniform
of daily wear—this flaunting a misery
that is not felt. We read that the
soldiers are keeping their serenity un
der their greatest trials. A French
officer writes of the inextinguishable
gayety of his men. Something of the
same matter-of-fact temper is perhaps
needed here. The keen edge of sym
pathy is blunted when it is carried into
costume and made fashionable.
Chamberlain's Liniment.
This preparation is intended especial
ly for rheumatism, lame back, sprains
and like ailments. It is a favorite with
people who are well acquainted with its
splendid qualities. Mrs. Charles Tan
ner, of VVahash, Ind., says of it: “I
have found Chamberlain’s Liniment the
best thing for lame back and sprains I
have ever used. It works like a charm
and relieves pain and soreness. It has
been used by others of my family as
well as myself Tor upwards of twenty
years.” 25 and 50 cent bottles. For
sale by all dealers.
