Saul of old, almost head and shoulders above them all in more than one par-

Above all other attributes it may be said <<f him that though he should

a stain upon his escutcheon.
Journalism Must Turn Back to Christ
T HERE MUST come a new era in journalism and general newspaper
work. That is the statement, or tailier declaration, ol one of the most
eminent authorities in the countiy, the Right Reverend James A. McFaul,
Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese, of Trenton, who addressed the news
paper workers of New York at 2:45 o'clock Sunday morning, last.
In speaking on the subject Bishop McFaul said-
‘ Journalism must return to Christ and the Ten Commandments, il the
daily newspaper would remedy it defects. Newspaper tnen should get to
gether ami form a code of ethics similar to those adopted by physicians and
lawyers, and bind themselves to adhere to them, upon their honor as journ
alms.
Publish the truth only, all the truth that is necessary, neither abridged
nor exaggerated in its details and all the truth that if secondarily useful or
legitimately interest without the invasion ol public cr private rights."
What a pity that such is not the case. Now and then, however, we
find men pursuing, or pretending to pursue newspaper work who use their
la »1 •• s, their genius and whatever money they can control to thwart the aims
of ott ers and to attain their own personal ends. How different it would be
if right were the guiding impulse and honorable the unswerving course
l .'lowed! It would brighten the earth's dominion, for many ot the toilers,
almost wearied and tallen beneath the crosses unjustly imposed upon them.
1 1 periods dating back to time immemorial the best writers have attn-
buted their success to Bible study and Bible teaching and the course is be
ing followed more generally now. But in rare instances there is apparently
a lack of this regard mark that work “apparently,” for we would judge not,
for He has said ‘ Judge not lest ye be judged," and though the burdens
pre.11 and the cares distress the same One said: “Yengeance is mine I will
repay." We are all transgressors, more or less, and coming down through
countless age3 comes the other message: “Showing mercy unto thounds-
ar.ds that love me and keep my commandments."
By Hr. Warren Edwards
Progreosiveness is exhibited on every
side in Milleogeville and throughout
Baldwin county. Agriculture, com
merce and industry are all advancing
and the new spirit is manifested on c 1
sides. Last year a home and garden
club was started here and many mem-
tiers were enrolled, several of them con
tinuing the good work this year. Now
a tomato club—a be a specialist; have a
hobbv slogan,—a do something plan, Is ]
suggested by Mr. Warren Edwards,
who writes:
Editor The News —Why not start a’
Bov's Tomato Club in Baldwin county? ;
I will be giad to assist you.
The garden club that was started last
year by you and I is now Hearing fruit: j
Mr. Bob Martin, out in Salem neighbor
hood, is bringing cabbage to town eve'y j
day. He caught the inspiration from
the Baldwin County Garden Club. He ,
has two acres in tomatoes and expects j
to start a small canning factory.
Yours very truly,
Warren Edwards.

A Neglected Necessity.
•TT\
T HERE is a great need confronting the people of .Milledgeville that is
being entirely neglected and it is a matter that we cannot afford to
overlook. If a community is enjoying a wave of prosperity or tt matters not
what, there is never a time when the people can say, "we are done and there
is nothing more to do."
During the summer months Milledgeville has lor yeats and years beei
p'j'tmg up with the dust on some .of our mam streets that renders the comb
titms so as to make it, at times, impossible for the public to travel them even
on 1 still day without being almost suffocated, and to say that wc must cor.
t.niie to tolerate such conditions seems out of the q lestion.
We would like to see our government tun on as conservative a basis as
posable, but in this particular case it is not onlv unpleasant but as the con-
dit ons now existing it is very deterimental to our health and lor this one es
sential reason it is mo/e than we can atlord to contend with, therefore some
.mangements should be made at once to remedy these circumstances before
the hot summer months have advanced any nearer on us. We could go on
and specify in just what section of the citv sueh conditions prevail, but the
cif 'cns of Mi'ledgeville are lamilar with what is going on in different locali.
ties and therefore we presume such specifications would be unnecessary
It is true enough, we are not in a position to state just what the cost of
.1 stieet sprinkler would be or what the daily expenditure would amount to
i i us operation, but we know it to be a fact that there are smaller cities
Georgia than Milledgeville that render the public this service, but we must
x il cat we know of none that need it as bad.
It's the man that does things that succeeds in lite and so we say, the
The Things We Omit in The Paper
“For the things wc get in this life are as caught
As compared with the things we miss."
P RCVBABI.Y some of the more prosaic people who peruse these columun
occasionally in search of the material things ol journalistic nature will
lorgtve and certainly forget the beginning made. But try as we may to
delve down into forgotton things the memory and the note now and then
forget the little items—and the big ones, too—that frequently mean so much
to individuals, or set ol individuals. However, in the case of this paper it is
not neglect, nor error ol the heart, but the hand. The tired fingers, the
limit that all men must know frequently prevents us from carrying out the
things we have in mind, the things we would do for our tcllowmcn.
Operating a newspaper is not essentially different from doing anything
else. It needs co-operation, assistance from friends, guidance from friends
and those interested in promoting the welfare of the general public. Now
and then we leave out something that ought to go in this paper for the up
lifting and the general benefit of humanity, but far more frequently we onii*
the things that possibly should go in to warn the public of tne tronbles and
trials that beset others and consequently cause the public to steer clear of
them. More frequently than not, too, the policy ot construction we pursue
prevents us lrom telling the tales that would harm somebody and benefit no
one.
Alter all the hundred and one little things we have to do it is no won
der that we omit something now and then. If you belong to a society, to an
organization of any kind, if you have visitors in your homes, or anything
that you would like to tell the public, or anything you know that would
benefit your neighbor—and your neighbors are everywhere—then send us a
little note, a message of some kind, write it down and we will endeaver to
keep the world about us posted in these things.
While we miss so many of these things here in life, miss so many more
than we get, miss noting so many more than wc record, maybe somewhere
beyond the portals of eternity the Recording Angel takes cognizance of our
failures and instead of recording them there allows a tear to fall and mar the
page. We'd rather that than here on earth, where blessings are too few, to
have mankind's rugged way made more tedious and tiresome by recording
some of the things we should omit and while we fail to put down, in language
we fain would write, many ol things deserving of record we ask the kindii
consideration that must come .when it is remembered that you, an.I we,
always find ourselves in the position quoted at the beginning of this disquisi
tion and yet after all has been said and done we have sufficient cause to
exclaim with the prophet of old, when the day is done, “How goodly are
thy tents O, Jacob and thy tabernacles O, Irseal. ’

The State Sanitarium Situation.
Gail Hamilton, a well known writer of some years ago wrote a book]
called “Twelve Miles from a Lemon". It was a humorous description of
the inconveniences one encounters in living in a place where the conveni
ences of retail business are not good.
People think of those things when picking out a residence town, and
they hate to locate in a place lacking good stores, just as they dislike to go
to a p'ace lacking good water and lights and streets and sewers.
In order to get public conveniences of any kind, we have to tax our
selves. Even if it could be proved that one must occasionally pay a little
more to buy goods at home, this tax necessary to get a good system ot local
shops is but slight compared with what we pay for other conveniences. But
it does not cost more to buy at home.
