Mr, Editor: It has been some
time since I paid you a visit
with a letter. I have tried to
scrape up some news notes for
you, but, like everything else,
News is scarce and hard to get.
I don’t believe I coi Id scrape up
a spoonfull of local news with a
railroad sovape around here just
now. Somebody must have
canned all the news and are
holding it for a higher price.
Everybody seems to be talking
war. They go home and talk
war, then walk up to the store
and talk more war, and it’s war
talk everywhere you go. If I
had all the advice I have received
about this war barrelled up and
could sell it at ten cents a barrel
II could finance the whole she
bang for the next twenty years.
Yes, sir, most everybody knows
just how this war ought to be
fought but wants the other fel
low to do the fighting. I don’t
see any use in worrying or going
around with a face as long as a
boot leg and an expression on it
set like the time lock on a Nat-,
ional bank. You can sit around : ^a., 6th Grade .

Kaiser’s Plan to Lruslt
America
(From The Macon News)
Thrse who try to comfort
themselves with the thought that
the United States is in no danger
from Germany overlooks a grett
body of facts which ought to be
kept before their eyes.
In 1908 the kaiser made a
speech at a secret council held in
P stdam in which he clearly out
lined his purpose to destroy his
enemies in Europe and then fall
upon the United States— "und
with the United States at my
mercy, I shall set a new course to
the destinies of the world.”
The text of his speech was
cabled to this country by W. Ham
ilton Rhodes, the well known
London correspondent, and pub
lished in American newspapers
March 14, 1915. It was re
published in these col mns on
April G, of ! . us year, but so many
requests ha e been received for!
copies of tin.

Auto Accidents
You seldom pick up a paper
without finding an account of
some serious automobile acci
dent. This should rot be. In
competent and reckless drivers
of cars are wholly to blame.
There should be a law with a
heavy penalty for a driver who
fails to stop and look both ways
before crossing a railway track,
and all speeding should be pro
hibited.
