Only the truly great can stand alone,
birds prevent millions of property from being destroyed every year, but the ques
tion of forest preservation is one os even greater magnitude. For a century the
axe of the woodsman lias played havoc with the trees of the state and fire has
ravaged nearly every forest, destroying the rosin and pine and hardwood as well.
It is time this should he remedied. Today is nearly every section of the state
signs of forest tires may beaeen on eyery side. Usually these forest fires orig
inate through some careless handling of fire, generally through the burning off
of some old straw field where a negro wishes to plant cotton. More’s the pity,
many white men follow the same practice. A law should be passed making it a
misdemeanor for any one to set fire to a straw field that adjoins that ot another
property holder where it can spread unmolested. Especially should this he
stressed so as to in dude damages if a piece of wooded land catches from the fire
so set out.
The MiUedgcville News is ready to lend eyery effort possible to the enactment
of just such a law. It will be virtually willing to go further and recommend the
adoption or such a law as to include the malicious setting out or fire in fields and
forests with the class designated in burning houses, in other words arson.
The forest and vegetable matter in the fields are as much a part and parcel of
one’s property nowadays as a house, barn, or other building. Farmersiof the
state think about this question, lawmakers get busy and frame urotecCTbn for
the generations of the future. Twenty five years will put a different aspect on
thqso two matters and it m iv then bn too late to remedy them. '

We want u lot of help in this matter and w » want friends from over the whole

THE FARCE IN CHRISTIAN WCKK.
Millodgeville is one of the cities of the country besieged by so-called charity
workers. From time to time they canvass the city thoroughly anq it is need
less to say that every time they succeed in getting together a nice large sum of
money. If the work were sincere and the workers Christians it would not be so
had, but more often than not this is not the case. Far more than half of these
traveling workers are f-rauds pure and simple not he tolerated. This may seem
somewhat harsh to the uninitiated, hut it is true ns any gosoel.
A prominent Milledgevillo minister who has ha I wide experience in this re
spect states tnat these deductions are eminently correct. In one specific case
which has been given wide publicity an immigrant worker pvroorting to he aid
ing an orphanage in the Holy Lan i came to America, collected quite a quantity
of money and went back to live like a lord in that country where a few dollars
means wealth.
The editor of The News personally, of as a cmcern, does not wish to discour
age any one who wishes to give money to charitable causes, but on the other
hand commends the work. But if you have money to give—and everybody
should have some —then give it to your home church, your home workers, your
pastor, or some local charitable organization. They will see that it is properly
laced and not appropriated t> any unworthy cause. But have nerve enough to
tell those wanderers that you will donate your maney where you will have the
consolation of knowing that it will be correctly handled and placed where needed.
