Henry Ford in the South
The vi-i of Henry Ford to the South to investigate a
possibiliti of developing a iugo inilu try at Muscle
Shcals i •: r. matter of much i t.t e n to the (. It of th!.,
section, of the country.
Acccuipanieil by Thomas A. Dili on, Ford assures us of
a correct utisv.er a.; to \vh: ■_ mi,jut to expected to come
from the natural dam si ;. u ,lo SI.cals. As a con
structor, Henry Ford has but few equals in the world.
Mr. iidison a j an investigator and inventor has to his
credit the invention of ti:o quadruples and sextuplex tole-
griph, Incandescent light, hineioscope, phonograph, car
bon telephone transmitter, electrical storage battery and
many other inventions that have caused to be placed at
'the disposal of the peoples of I he world conveniences un-
thought of before the days of the present-day genius.
Henry Ford has proven himself able to handle big mat
ters succos. fully and he is evidently a man ta>«ible of
directing the management of vumts large enterprises
and he probably has to hi credit the greatest achieve
ments < f any one man in this country. To say the lenst of
the visit oi l ord and > dison to the South, we have
if.- on. t u . two groat men attracted by our natural re
sources.

expected by man. .
What Can We Expect?
When can we expect an end to the depression vo a,.,
experiencing?
The above question is do. btlcss being asked daily by
thousands of people in these United Stales—and tile an
swer Is simple as could be to any question that could be
answered. The occasion for this question is due largely
to lack of study cn the part of the people asking them.
Undoubtedly, selfishness Is to a very large extent con
trolling the world at litis lime. Hero is a trui? definition
of the fac or that is causing so much anxiety throughout-
this country and a ,title study of it ought to put us at
ease so far as astirtait.ii i ■ iroubia that i.; ,u „• r v.ay
is concerned:
Self!., i.c-i 1.mils endeavor to a narrow circle of ,u
tensely p- : mil aims, de-iroys all tend sympallue. - 0u
is ullimut ... fatal n t only to tuo welfare but to cue an,.
der control of the state highway department, and the
provision giving the Secretary of Agriculture author
ity to maintain Federal aid highways not properly
maintained by the state.
Tlie act is administered by the Public Hoads llu-
reau, as heretofore, although a . trong fight was made
to create a federal highway commission with central
ized authority in Washington. Many opposed this fea
ture of the new law. The state highway commissions
in the different states have been apprised of the
amount of funds due each slate.
Georgia and the whole co utry is intensely interested
in legislation of this kind and there should be a careful
and well planned state-wide organization to work In co
operation with the state authorities to promote such
work as is now being planned in highway construction in
Georgia, for it means more to the people of the cities and
the country than almost any other undertaking that can
b" started at this time.
HOW THEY HOLD THE FUNERAL OF A TOWN
From ti’.e Warsaw (Kv.i independent:
A town that never has anything to do in a public way
is OH life way to tlie cemetery. Any citizen who will do
nothing for Is town i. helping to dig its syave. A man
that “cusses” the town furnishes the coffin. The man
who is so selfish as to have no time from' his busines
to give affairs is making tlie shroud. The man who will
not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is al
ways pilling back from any public enterprise throws
bouquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy as to
be growling hard times, preaches the funeral, and sings
the doxology. And thus the town lies bt ried from all ibe
sorrow of the world.
GEORGIA'S INSANITY LAWS
From T. e Atlanta Journal.
In Ms forte ucotning repdrfts-the Governor ami Depart
ment of Public Welfare, Dr. It. G. Hutchings, the dis
tinguished New York alienist wi o has just completed a
survey of the state sanitarium for insane at Mllledgeville,
and of problems related thereto, will give special empha
sis to the necessity for a general revision of Georgia's
laws on the subject of insanity.
A person accused of insanity in Georgia is tried before
a July of laymen. They are chosen without regard to their
knowledge or lack of ltnov ledge concerning the human
mind and Us derangements and afflictions. It would
-t-uai as logical to arraign cn ill man before a hastily col
led jury to determine whether . e uas suffering wi.n
zeuts indigestion, api qiiuicliij or tuberculosis.
From the ve. Jict cf a lay mat's jury In a lunacy hoar-
nig, as will bn further pointed o t, there is no appeal. The
.rsuii accused may bo peif.-ctly rational and normal,, muj
j tlie victim of f<un..y o. poll.leal pe,..ocution, may be
mr hotter qualified ter citizenship titan c.-ina of the
yurors who iry 1 inTf and yet he cannot appeal to any
a g-or court or any more competent authority.

opt .ho ic. son ..or. .ee to them, whether that person
oe a t'.t si.LjV t for p lycopathic treatment or not. Then
o-.iy . .conn. ,n am... a oa.o would be to go through th
ality of a p: let in atmeut and then -d ;-.charge 'the poi

$75,000,000 For Highways
Through the concerted -efforts of the exponents of good
roads throughout (lie United States, including lion, W
Tom Winn, of Atlanta, State Highway Engineer W. R
Neel, Gov. Thomas W. Hardwick, and others from Geor
gia, t'e federal aid road act was passed recently and $
000,009 made available for assisting in state Highway work
between now and June t>0, next. Of this sum one-third
will be available immediately and $50,mi0.000 after Jin
uary 1, next, making it available at the rate of almost ten
millions of dollars per month.
A dispatch from Washington oil the subject says:
