president and manager of the Hotel

(By G. N. A.)
Every county in Georgia can
look forward to an extra income of
better than half a million dollars in
1940. This statement was issued by
the Department of Game and Fish
after a study of the conditions and
values of game in the State of Geor
gia, and is based on the hope that
the incoming legislature will adopt
the program of the department for
developing this source of wealth to
the people.
A state income of better than
$100,000,000 for the people is possi
ble with the proper development of
■wildlife resources. This sum. pro
rated to each county, will average
$028,930 per county. Commissiono.
Cravoy pointed out that there might
be some counties which would not
realize that sum. since their small
size and relatively dense popula
tions would not permit intensive?
game development, but that, con
sidered as a state, the estimated
value of the development would re
sult in inci eased revenue to the
people.

Ah. it was pitiful. Father Time!
Our feeble ones, young and old,
perished miserably of cold and
hunger In the midst of a land that
worships the Good God. and amid
such an accumulation of wealth as
was never known before since the
miming stars looked down upon a
newly-made world.
Poverty, crime, vice, drunkenness,
riots, wars, famine, pestilence, earth
quakes and conflagrations have glut
ted their awful appetites upon us
during the Old Year. Father Time.
To what are you leading us in the
New Year?
Will the heart of the world grow
harder and harder. Father Time?
Will the greed of human avarice
demand still larger sacrifice of hu
man lives?
Will the selfishness of Classes
gorge itself still further upon raven
ous conquests, and remorseless ex
ploitation?
Shall tho cry of the white slave
never reach Heaven, Father Time?
Shall the song of the angels who
hung over the infant Christ never

government of man?
Is the reformer always to be the

Is wrong never to be dethroned?
