THE NKWNAN HERALD, NEWNAN, GA„ FRIDAY. OCTOBER 21, 1921
MONUMENT TO JEFERSON DAVIS.
j.cuiavillo, Ky.—Tho Jefferson Davis
nliclieki crowning liionrimetit to tho
President of the Southern Confederacy,
v.-ill he unveiled June ", 19C2, at Davis’
birthplace in Fnirvicw, Ky„ on his lllth
anniversary.
'1'he Davis homestead is about 1 JO
miles from Hodgenville, Ky., where
Abraham Lincoln was born.
The obelisk, which will bo 175 foot
high, is today within five feet of com
pletion. It was plnnncd originally to
erect a shaft 350 feet, to bo excelled
only by the Washington monument, but
the Jefferson Davis Homo Association
decided to hasten tho unveiling in ac
cordance with the wish of Confederate
veterans. Anxious to’ participate in tho
ceremonies, the thinning ranks of gray
urged completion as soon ‘as possible.
The work was started in 1917, but was
interrupted by tho world war.
Profiles in brrnizo of Mr. Davis and
his daughter, Mrs. Margaret Davis
Hayes, one of the most beautiful women
of tho South, ornnmeht tho base of tho
monument, which is 43 feet square. It
contains a room for relics.
Tho shaft is situated in Jefferson
Davis Park, which takes in part of the
farm on which the President of the
Confederacy was born on J ime 3, 1803,
less than a year before Lincoln. Tho
park comprises about 22' acres. The
town of Fairviow gains its name from
one of the most beautiful landscapes
hi the South.
dost of the monumeiit to date is
about $100,000, which was raised by
popular subscription. Mrs. Roy McKin
ney, of Paducah, Ky., president-general
of- the United Daughters of the Confed
eracy. at the head of a committee of
daughters and Ctwfedarnte veterans, or
ganized every county in the Stato to
complete the shaft.
fieit. Win. B. Haldonmn, formerly owner
with Col. Henry Wattorson of tho Louis
ville Courier-Journal, is president of the
Jefferson Davis Home Association, suc
ceeding the lute Gen. Bennett- H. Young
of Louisville, four times coinmander-in-
ehiof of the United Confederate Veter
ans. Gen. George W. Littlefield, of Aus
tin, Toxas, and Gen, Julian S, Caff, of
Durham, N. C., wore promoters with
Gen, Young of the original conception.
Care of the park and .monument -will
be supervised by the State of Kentucky
after the unveiling, by Act of the 1920
Legislature.
Two other monuments commenn-afo
the Confederate Preseident—one in
Richmond, Va., the capital of the Con
federacy, and the other in New Orleans.
Both were built through tho efforts of
the women of the South.
SEVEN GOOD WAYS.
Telfair Enterprise.-
For the bene/lt of Telfair county peo
ple who want to help-- the editor and
don't know how, -we aro submitting the
following sevon good ways:
First of all, give him the news. He
wants it. Give it to him, even though
sometimes it does not get into the paper.
He hasn’t'time always to tell why some
hits of- news aro not used; but ten to
one ho has a perfectly good reason.
Give him the news, even though you
may not he especially interested in it.
Some folks never think to give the editor
news except when they are concerned in
it one way or another.
Second, don’t giveTiim a piece of news
and teR him you want'it printed just
as if"is written, .There’s a right and a
wrong way to 1 do even such a simple
thing as writing an article for a, country
paper. One editor had to leave town
because he printed every, piece of news
just as it was handed in—spelling, punc
tuation and all—and printed it with the
namo of the person who gave it to him.
Third, don’t try to' play a joke
through the columns of a paper unless
you explam it to the editor. A thing in
cold, type looks n lot different and
sounds different from a thing repeated
by word of mouth.
Fourth, don’t worry for fear the edi
tor is making too much money; you
should want him to have a comfortable
living. He will he less likely to have to
compromise with his conscience over cer
tain kinds of advertising. And, any
how,,-lie can’t make a fortune out of his
paper;—he will be lucky if he keeps
going.
Fifth, tell your editor-when something
in the paper ploases you. Once in a while
you tell your pastor he has preached
a good sermon; so tell the editor some
thing about his paper now and then.
Sixth, get your “copy” to him early.
It takes time to set type and make a
paper. Did you ever wonder what the
editor did all the time between ijublica-
tion days? You would know if you were
publishing a newspaper yourself.
Lastly, go in some day when the paper
is being printed. Go in several times
during the day, and you will have more
of a realization what a job it is to make
a weekly paper.
WHY THE SLOWDOWN?
Savannah Press.
The financial review of the Mechanics
and Metals National Bank of New York
says that business in America will never
get bettor until business abroad, im
proves.
Foreign feeling is still stirred up.
Among victors and vanquished there still
persists a taint of bitter resentment.
Americans coming homo report tho exis
tence of an overwrought and unhealthy
state of mind in Europe.
There is no doubt that this is true,
lint we cannot ngree with tho hank cir
cular that it is “ the fnultiliess of the
peace treaty which is now showing its
harmful consequences. ’ ’
As n matter of fact, it is precisely be
cause the peace treaty was not concluded
in Paris that the present unrest and dis
traction prevail in Europe. Trade cun-
not be established on a firm basis until
there is a return to n wholesome and.
normal condition. The responsibility,
we suspect, rests upon the pooplo who
for political purposes blocked the treaty
of Paris. For this reason national and
class feeling, fed by politics and in
flamed by propaganda, are still defl dte
factors in European affairs.
As r nation, we have sot ourseb’es def
initely against participation in foreign
affairs, forgetting that we have iftjgo
business stakes in tho affairs of the
world. We must exercise our political
and economical powor for the world’s
bettorment, Wo have refused to widin
our vision and adapt our economic forces
to the fundamental principles upon which
progress must be made. Europe ma .-
tains that the United States is still ab
solutely necessary to Europe’s recuper
ation. As for ourselves, with tremendous
obligations outstanding in Europe, and
with a tremendous productive capacity
seeking employment, wo know that Eu
rope’s recuperation is necessary to our
welfn re.
The present trouble in tho world is not
because of a faulty peace treaty, but I c-
cause wo blocked the confirmation if t!c
Peaty altogether. The world has long
since recognized this fact and tho United
States is gradually coming to tins be
lief.
ABOUT KISSING.
Baltimore Evening Sun.
Kissing is mi established custom In

who refrain at times from eating onions.
It Is a practice that insures the longevity

Some one who didn't know much about
kissing said years ago that stolon kisses
are sweetest. Tho opinion is still quo
ted, hut all persons who have had imy
experience of kisslng know better. A
kiss is nover wholly satisfactory unices

Kissing a pretty girl doea not. afford

and lifeless and thoreforo a little bit
disappointing, and if sho 1ms been kiss
ed too often she displays a degree of
technic that robs the kbs of its flavor.
In the old days the flnvor of a kbs was
imaginary; you couldn’t taste uuythiug

girl’s kbs has the stnle and unprofitable

"NO EXCUSE FOR PESSIMISM,’’
DECLARES RAILROAD
OFFICIAL.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 15.—W. W. Crox-
ton, passenger traffic ni(p»iagor af the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail
way, is nn optimist. He says there is
no excuse for pessimism.
.“Tho spirit of optimism is increasing
throughout, the South among men in all
linos of business,” declared Mr. Crox-
elaved hero today. ‘ ‘ Of course one of
the chief reasons for this change is the
rise iu the prico of cotton. This wel
come rise in the'prico of the staple has
beyond doubt worked wonders. But this
is not the only reason for returning con
fidence. Everywhere there are indica
tions of improvement in tile commerce of
tho country,’!
Mr. Oroxton pointed to the fact that
business men in all sections are making
encouraging statements regarding the
financial outlook. Tho Federal De.pnrt-
riient of Commerce, ho recalled, issued
statements of tho most optimistic and
pleasing nature concerning the vast im
provement in exports and imports. He
declared that pooplo who a few months
ago wore gloomy now look cheerfully
into the future with hope and courage.
“Tlie man today who is a pessimist
should at least have tho patriotism to
refrain from talking pessimism,” as
sorted Mr. Croxton. The man who
howls about tho hard times which aro to
eoine, the first thing in the morning and
the last thing at night, does nothing to
make times better. He is merely a dreary
obstacle in the path of progress—a dys
peptic gloom-chaser who should give his
bored auditors a l'CBt and go to some
deserted island for a change of scene.
“Therefore let us declare war on the
gloom-chasers and in the new and splen
did optimism of tho day pull together
for our common prosperity.”
Local newspaper men have nominated
Mr. Croxton for the presidency of the
Bettor Feeling Club” whenever it is
formed.

A young man decided on New Year’s
Day that lie was giving too many of his
evenings to the club. Accordingly he re
solved that throughout the coming year
he would go to the club only twice a
month. And that night he proceeded to
put the resolution in force.
‘Amy,” he said to his wife, at din-
ser, “I know that since our marriage
I have been too constant a frequenter of
the club, and I am aware that this has
caused you a deal of silent wretched
ness. My dear, I am sorry. I am going
to turn over a new leaf. And I will be
gin tonight.”
The young woman’s eyes shone. Hoi
face lighted with joy.
“Oh, Harold,” she cried “how hap
py you have made me! Uncle Jim wants
me to go to the theatre with him tonight,
and you can stay home and mind the
baby. ’ ’ ■

Thin Blood Saps Energy.
Gude’s Pepto - Mangan
Rebuilds the Blood.
Wrestling with a weakened condition
of the blood is a desperate struggle.
Thin, watery blood deprives the body
of energy and causes a played-out feel-
iug not unlike utter exhaustion. A man
with weak blood has not tho full rise of
his powers. He lacks decision, and va
cillates until he loses ielf-confidence.,
Some men, and women too, go falter
ing along for months scarcely realizing
that they need Gude’s Pepto-Mmigr.n,
the blood-builder. But when they have
taken it for a while, what a difference
there is in the feelings! The old-time
vigor and the red-blooded hue of good
health return. The new rich blood gets
to work, building, fortifying, lifting the
spirit up to its normal standard. Phy
sicians have prescribed. Gude’s Pepto-
Mangan for years as, a blood-builder.
Druggists . sell it in liquid and tablet
form.' Look’for the name “Guile’s Pep-
to-Mangnn” on the package.—Adv.

they have pushed and advertised “weeks” and

it was no more than right that the “Home-Town
