How climate affects the highway work

Recently a tourist in passing through

regulation is needed-
We have been requested to repuhlis’-
our last week’s article on the extermina
tion of the boll weevil, but as the type
had been thrown in we suggest that you
read again last week’s paper in the event
it hasn’t been destroyed-
advancement of prohibition sentiment i
the nations federated in our World's
Women’s Christian Temperance Union.
Thes c nations are eagerly noting the
economic and moral benefits already se
cured through the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
states, we pledge them-our continued
sympathy and co-operation, and will
press unceasingly forward to the goal
of world prohibition.
Law Enforcement—Believing that re
spect for obedience to all law is neces
sary for the prosperity and preservation
of the government and that the creation
of public sentiment for any law will
insure its enforcement, we, therefore,
plgdgc oursel.es as individual members
and as an organization to put forth our-
best effort for a sentiment which will
demand the enforcement of the prohi
bition law- To this end w e stand for
th e strict enforcement of the Volstead
Act without class or race.
Lynching—We again enter our solemn
protest against lynching in any form
and for any caus e whatsoever. We
are keenly alive to the dangers to which
women are exposed; but we feel con
vinced that crime cannot he cured by
crime, and thatf nothing; can reduce
crime but the honest, loyal execution of
t'u* law. The violators of women aye
the worst of all criminals, yet every
member of a mob for the torture and
.death of such crimnals is himself a
murdered and a coward; doing acts of
violence without th e slightest risk
personal harm. We most emphatically
denounce this form of brutal lawless
ness, and hope to see the day when all
sheriffs will b e brave enough to defy
mc;b S| being 1 sure of the support and ai
of the good citizens of th e communit;
and when juries will have the courage
to convict crimnals on evidence
Masks and Disguises—We go on rec
ord as absolutely opposed to mask
disguises, believing that a gjod citizen
or home garden Ts
few strawberries.
No home orchard
complete without a
dewberries, blackberries and raspberries-
These do not take up much ground, are
not much trouble and should by aii
means he planted in any home orchard
or garden in the South except in the ex
tremely low sections of the South where
raspberries dp not do so well.
Congressman Hill, Republican, of
Maryland, has introduced a hill favoring

We-again wish to emphasize the f.ir.t
that Douglas county needs a Farm
Demonstrator next year. He can aid
verymuch in helping to combat the boll

der the responsibility of his owq deeds.
Child Welfare—We appreciate the
valuable' work being done by the Child
Hygiene Department in the state Board
of Health and urge continued co-opera
tion of local) Unions in /educational
child hygiene* work by establishing
“Baby Heal the Centers,” and by every
other means possible. \V e urge also
continued effort to make th e Ellis Health
hw operative in every county in the
state.
Scientific Temperance Instruction In
Public Schools)—We urge County and
Local Unions to furnish teachers with
leaflets, books and posters showing the
effects of th e use of alnhol and tobacco,
that the truth concerning these evils may
be impressed upon the plastic minds of
children and young people; and ihat
J essa y contests be held in every school,
' ; ,8in g th « subjects suggested by the Nat
ional W.C.T.U.; and that Temperance
Day f the fourth Friday in March, be
observed in all schools.
Sabbath Obseryance—To keep the
Sabbath holy is *of grave, practical and
economic importance becaus e it lies at
the base of the health and mor-ls of
mankind; therefore w e earnestly ask
the help of thoughtful Christian men and
women in bringing about a stricter ob-
.... ....... servance of the Sabbath dav-
weevil and- in proper methods of diversi- ... . .
fication. The public spirited citizens
•hould wake up and see that we have
a good,demonstrator.
A large number of our subscribers
have renewed this week and w e wish to
urge others to do so, as it is possible
that owing to increased price of paper
that we will have to advance the price

with the Southern Railway for a new

Work Among Colored People—W e
rejoice in the growth of sentiment for
the extention of temperance work among
the colored pdbple, a lid urge the co
operation of local Unions in this cause.
Motion Pfctlife CfcrtsOrsHip-i-^V e fa$or
a law providing for a state and National
Censorship Board as distinguished from
the “National Board of* Review”—re
quiring that every film shall be censored
by these Boards before it is released
measure to b e introduced in the legisla
ture as advocated by both State and
National Boards of Health.
Anti-CigarettSi—We will continue an
educational campaign for public senti
ment against the cigarette and for thc
enforcement of the State law prohibiting
the sale or furnishing cigarettes to
miners^ with a .view'to'further legislat
ion prohibiting the sale and manufacture
of cigarettes and cigarette papers in the
state of Georgia. W e ask that Anti
cigarette Sunday be observed in every
Sunday School in the state and that an
earnest effort he made to enlist minis
ters , Sunday School Superintendents,
teachers, and every other person who
has the physical, financial moral and
spiritual welfare of our people at heart
in opposition to the T&pidly growing evil 1
of th e cigarette habit. We urge suo-
scribers to magazines and all pcripdicals
carrying cigarette aclvertisments to write
an earnest protest to th c editors asking
for discontinuance of the same in the
interest of an efficient citizeptohip.
Bill to Promote Welfare and Hygiene
of Maternity and Infancy.—We endorse
the “Bill to Promote Welfare and Hy
giene of Maternity and Infancy” form
erly known as the “ShefipardaTowner
Bill,” ^nd will urge legislature to make
an appopriation which will give to
Georgia the full benifits of this law.
Social Morality—We again go on
»record in 'conformity with our basic
principle, that there should be a single
standard of morals for men and women
and the Age of Consent in Georgia
should be raised to at least sixteen
years- We also place our stamp of dis
approval on any amusement that lowe
the moral standard of the commuhity.
Street Carnivals, Gambling Games,
Immoral Shows—We will use our in
fluence against holding street carnivals,
against gambling gam'es, immoral and
questionable shows at ffcirs as every
tendency, of these things is demoraliz
ing, resulting only in evfl. We will use
our efforts to have our fairs pleasurable,
eductive ahd clean in every sensg.

the use of tl^/Fallot as a sacred obli
gation, and to educate for its intelligent
