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.

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.” For sale by all dealers. 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.” Piles Cured in 6 to 14 Days Ynur druggist will refund money if PAZO OINTMENT fails to cure any case of Itching, It I ind, I Heeding or Protruding Piles in f> to 14 days.

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.
