Destroy these two factors in the wealth of a state-especially a southern state and it has been shorn of much of its glory. The day of the quail is passing and without care they will he extinct in many localities within the next few years. There is no doubt but that a law prohibit ing the shooting of quaite for five years would be highly beneficial to the state at large and to many sections in particular. Quail are insectivorous birds and doubly valuable in this reipact. Their reaming disposition enables them to find out where insects are and they destroy an innumerable quantity each season.

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. ' The only freeman is the man with Convictions.

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. dual wo long tu society makes it to our interest to pretend to he what we are not jthat Wag will we court an hy pocrisy that that kills The Lyman Twins are coming. !
