The prohibition question wliich h»s caused so much political strife dur
ing the past few years promises now to be overcome bv the water problem.
Nearly everybody remembers the little quotation learned during school days
which ran something like this:
“Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink."
Pure water is about the most valuable asset any community can have. It
means health, it means prosperity and it means that people will flock to such
a place. It goes unquestioned, without one challenge to the contrary, that
Milledgeville lias no drinking water. It is a deplorable state of affairs and
the rrmedy lies in city ownership. The Atlanta Georgian of Tuesday says:
According to some interesting figures which The Engineering News’

Leqislaior-Llect Resigns Posilion as
Counly Solicitor And Retlrlfig As- I
semblyman Is Appointed.
Hon. Carl Vinson, -repres»ntative-
elect from Baldwin county, has tender
ed his resignation as solicitor of the
county court of Baldwin county and
Hon. E. R. Hines, retiring legislator,
has been appointed by Gov. Hoke Smith
to succeed him. During his incumbency
Mr, Vinsdn served the county^in a
very satisfactory and capable manner
and the appointment of Mr. Hines also
meets with general approval on the part
ol the public.
Mr. Vinson takes position as repre
sentative when the assembly m»ets in
June and Mr. Hines succeeds to the
position of county solicitor the first of
this month.
The teaching of agriculture In uni
versities and colleges has reached a
more advanced stage than mere ex-
recognized as Important as any other
technical subject or profession. But
ihc placing of courses In high schools
has been very slow. These courses
can be easily brought In not as an ed-
Junct only, but as a regular educa-
years ago called tho “Queen day of: tlonal subject. Why not supplement
days, that excels all others as far as the some of the old regulation readers? A
sun exceeds the other stars, and which ' book on elementary agriculture vwnild
is still known in the oast as the ‘bright
day’.” Another typical name for East-
is the “Holiday of Hope."
There is a wonderful charm and
fascination in this queen festival of the
year, which dominates the whole world
with its wonderful lessonspf returning

significance of tho occasion illustrated

As an adjunct a small garden could
be added to the school ground at a
very little expense. By competitive
methods the pupils could be made to
take groat pride In this work, which
would greatly beautify the school
grounds. State agricultural fairs
should stimulate Interest In thlR line
of teaching. Products raised by dif

to excel all others in tho state.
Of course. It would be u great deal
more satisfactory If the subject could
be taught more In detail. Treatments
of ordinary animal diseases, plant
troubles, also agricultural chemistry,
would all be well, but necessarily
would come under college courses.
