MAKING IT BERIOUB.
The Savannah Morning N««s ts de
veloping Into an unconscious humor
ist.
It will bo remembered that in the
discussion in the houee. over the toll
repeal, when Congressman Hardwick
gently rebuked the speaker for bolting
the administration's policy and up
holding the ehtp subsidy that the
speaker said. "Shop My! Don’t bother
mo” This was by for the wisest re
tort the speaker could have made be
cause he was not In a position to meet
Mr. HfcrdwlcWk rebuke In serious
form, but quoju'iy enough, to some
minds In lienrgta It appeared worth
using as campaign material—a fact, in
Itself, which gives eloquent proof of
how hard It is to find something to
attack ilnrdwlrk about. Rpeaker Clark,
learning thHt hi* low comedy retort
was being need (n an effort to hurt Mr
Hardwick's senatorial chances, very
properly wrote Mr. Hardwick a letter,
expressing the fullest appreciation of
Mr. Hardwick's loyalty and efficiency
In eervlng hie party In hie years of
work in Washington. Incidentally, the
speaker remarked hie disgust at having
hls Jocular retort construed as an ex
pression of contempt for Mr. Hardwick
and said the ahoi had been fired In the
heat of a sharp debate.
Rut the Savannah Morning News
can’t get It through Its head how the
speaker can withdraw Ids “Shoo Fly"
speech Tt earnestly Inquires:
“How can It be withdrawn? It
can't bo unsaid It may not have
have been original, or brilliant, or
aa respectful an Mr. Hardwick do
aarvad, but It was said. The
speaker was pretty well stirred up
at tha time he made his canal tolls
exemption speech and he was
speaking pretty much from the
heart.
‘lt was In that speech he said
■'Shoo fly" to Mr. Hardwick. Geor
gia voters had not been disposed
to accept the remnrk a* Indicating
the speaker's opinion of Mr. Hard
wick, but the speaker may have
made It a serious matter by at
tempting to unsay what he sabl."
The Morning News must be feeling
the sultry Savannah weather, which
Inclines all but the most trivial mind
minded to take life with undue solem
nity. When the clouds roll by it may
be cheered by discovering that no
aerlous damage has resulted from
Speaker Clark's attempt to withdraw
his Shoo Fly The trouble seems to
be that the News ts forgetting to say

Rumors have It that Hears! I* now
In control of the Washington Pont.
If this la not tha fact, It la at any rate,
ar. extremely sane conclusion, Judging
from the yellow complexion now pre
vailing over that old Republican sheet.
The Post Is one of the hardest fighters
for the subsidy to the coastwise ship

Vardan an. the Mississippi blather
skite, who haa until this happy hour,

among republicans Is promptly glori
fied for his wisdom and bravery In

“Are not his words of warning
worthy of instant attention by
l>einocrats In the Senate and
throughout the country?" asks the
Post. "No one can question the
thoroughness of Senator Varda
nian's nomocracy. Me comes from
the solid South, and Is a Democrat
of the old school —a Democrat
whose devotion to his party is
bred In the bone He would do
nothin to imperil the success of
his party In the nation. In time
of danger he has the courage to
speak out in the hope of averting
a calamity to hie party, etc.
His words are not those of a
aychophant or a cuckoo. They are
the utterances of a brave man.
who dares to think for himself and
for Ills party. He is sn exper
ienced man In politics, learned in
the law. and Intensely loyal to
Democratic tradition*."
Strange Isn’t It, how the goose of
yesterday Is the swan of tomorrow?
Stranger, still, Is this extreme anxiety
on the part of the Post for a continua
tion of Democratic supremacy.

Is some excusable reluctance on the

WHAT THE COUNTY OF RICH
MOND OWES TO AUGUSTA.
Possibly 80 per cent of the tsxes of
Richmond County are paid by the city
of Augusta. Do you get tbatf
Now how much of the revenue oT
the county which I* so largely raised
hy taxing city property and city resi
dents is spent in the corporate limits
of Augusta?
Is It fair to Ignore Augusta and Its
needs —the needs of Its people? IT 18
NOT, any more thsn It Is right to
Ignore the needs of the various dis
tricts and sections of Richmond
County. Augusta is certainly a part
of Richmond County. And yet this
seems to be the settled habit of the
Board of County Commissioners—to
spend the tax monies outside of the
city limits and to spend hs little ns
possible—practically none in t'he city
limits.
This ts certainly taxation without
representation In the benefits suppos
ed to accrue from taxation.
Cities bear the largest burden of
county taxation and It Is high time
that cities began to get a fair share
of the benefits of the county funds,
which hey contribute to so largely.
Isn’t the County Board of Commis
sioners about ready and willing to
take up this matter and to see that
Augusta and her people get justice?
Other County Boards are recogniz
ing this fact and doing the square
thing by the cities.
We call attention to the following
action on the part of the Count*
Commissioner* of Fulton: It'a worth
careful study of the voters of Au
gusta.
During the year 1913, the Ful
ton County board did work to the
value of <380,963.29 Inside Atlan
ta's city limits. This Includes di
rect expenditures of cash for ma
terials and for salaries, as well as
the value of the labor of the coun
ty convict forces put Into city
work.
During the same year there was
done $385,377.58 worth of work
In Fulton vounty outside the city.
It will be apparent from this that
the county board apportions Its
expenditures of money and con
vict labor about half and half be
tween the city proper and the
county outside the city,
Fuch division of the work Is now a
well recognized principle In Fulton
County and If the county board Isn’t
right on the Job whenever there Is
any Important work to be done there
is an Immediate and generally an ef
fective kick about It.
Only recently the county commis
sioners have been In considerable of
u stew because of the delay In build
ing a certain sewer In the city which
the people In the territory affected
think should have been finished long
ago.
The work done by the county forces
Insiue the city limits consists in grad
ing and paving streets, building sew
ers and laying curbing and sidewalk.
In 1918 the county commissioners did
$71,335.40 worth of grading Inside the
city limits. They did $233,155.35
worth of street paving, furnishing
some material* They did sewer
work to the value of $61,268.21. and
relaying ot curb and sidewalks to the
extent of $14,304.33.
As a rule the city is called on to
furnish all materials while the coun
tv docs the work. There Is an excep
tion, however. In the case ot certain
paving materials which the county
supplies. Stone and concrete fer sew
ers is supplied by the city, as are
curbing and sidewalk materials.
The county force* are right now en
gaged on several Important Jobs in
side the city. They are building ona
or two sewers and changing the
grades on several Important streets,
where the work has been ordered.
There are cities all over Georgia
which occupy a position somewhat
similar to that of Atlanta and yet
which are not getting anything from
tliclr count; boards. In other words,
these cities are paying a large pro
INDOOR SPORTS By Tad
portion of the county taxes, yet are
getting no direct benflt from the
county work. It ts true that all work
done within a county, whether inside
the city limits or not, is of advantage
to the city, hut the best and most
substantial benefits to the city come
of course, from that work which Is
done within the city limits. The oid
Idea that the county hoard should do
work nowhere except outside the city
limits Is rapidly underglng transfor
mation.

GEORGIA FACTS-No. 5
HOW MUCH LAND DOES A MAN NEED?—The impression that
has prevailed to the effect that it requires large holdings of land in the
South In order to make a success, Is shown to be erroneous by the fact
that the day of the large land-owner is Georgia is rapidly passing.
Many of the former large plantations have been cut up into smaller
farms, which have become far more profitable than under the former
regime. The following comparisons showing the increase of smaller
farms is of interest:
In 1880 there were only 48,420 farms under fifty acres in size,
while in 1910 the number of small farms (under fifty acresi had grown
to 1)7,400. Farms of 50 to 100 acres have grown from 26,c in 1880 to
68,500 in 1910, white the farms of over 1,000 acres have b en reduced
from 3,491 in 1880 to 1,521 in 1910.
The average size improved farm in Georgia today (1914) is from 75
to 100 acres.
THE SANDMAN STORY
FOR TONIGHT
By MRS. F. A. WALKER.
JEMIMA AND JACK
(Part I).
Jemima and Jack lived in the attic
of an old farm house, and they had
sat under the eaves so many sum
mers and winters that they had lost
all count of time. Jemima was a
china doll and she wore a little buff
colored straw bonnet, tied under her
chin with narrow blue ribbon and
trimmed with forget-me-nots. Her
dress was made with many little ruf
fles around the skirt and over her
shoulders she wore a cape that
“THERE SHE IS.”
matched her skirt, and underneath
that was a tight-fitting waist.
This dress and cape were made of
drab colored silk and trimmed with
very narrow black velvet ribbon. Je
mima sat In n little wooden rooking
chair lookng straight at the stairway
at the end of the attic.
Beside her on top of the box was
Jack, stretched out full length and
looking up at the celling as though
lie expected to see some one drop
from there and help him and Jemima
to change their positions, which they
had kept for so many summers and
winters.
Jack was a wooden jumping jack
and if some one would only pull a
string he would Jump into shapes
that an acrobat would envy.
A short distance from Jack and Je
mima was a little tin ktchen and a
little red rocking chair Just large
enough for a child.
One night Jemima said to Jack.
"Did you thnk you heard the children
talking today, or was I asleep and
dreaming?”
"You must have been dozing. Je
mima.” said Jack. "I used to think I
heard children talking o'ten after we
came here to live but It was all im
agination; there are no children here
now Oniv the old people are here
and they never think of us only once
a year when they clean house.”
"Oh. how l long to get outdoors
once more," said Jemima. “My mis
tress used to spread a tea table Tor
me under an old apple tree in the or
chard and we had calico tea and tiny
biscuit cut out with a thltnble.”
"That was a long tme ago,” Je
mima," said Jack. "1 expect »( are
old people now; we have been here *o
long. Why won’t you marry me. Je
mima? \Ve have to spend our days
ir this attic, T am sure, and you will
f*e an old maid I am sure If you wait
any longer. Do say yes, Jemima,
please.’
"How- min.v times have I told you.
Jack, that I did not feel that I should
marry a Jumping Jack,” said Jemima,
without takug her eyes from the
stairs. “Really, I should make a good
match, coming, as I do, from such an
old family as mine.”
"But, Jemima, wouldn’t you rather
marry me than be an old maid?” ask
ed Jack.
“W-e-1-1, I suppose I had,” said Je
mima, rather doubtfully, “but some
one suitable may come along, Jack,
and I think I will wait a little longer.
1 am sure I heard children's voices to
day and I may be taken out of the
attic and meet fate.”
Jack sighed as Jemima finished
speaking. “I love you, Jemima.” he
said, “and I will wait for you. If you
do not find the one you are looking
for, will you marry nje?”
"Yes, I will, Jack; If something
does not happen soon to take me out
of this attic I will marry you,” said
Jemima.
"I leel just as young as I ever did,”
said Ja<ck, “and if some one would
only pull the string 1 am sure you
would agree with me, and you are
just as handsome as you were the day
we met, Jemima. You have not
changed a bit.’
Jemima tried to appear indifferent
to this remark from her lover, but
she smiled a little, showing that it
pleased her to be told she was as
beautiful as ever alter all these win
ters and summers.
The next morning a noise was
heard on the stairs leading to the at
tic, and while Jemima started and
was sure she heard children’s voices,
a little head appeared and the next
thing Jemima knew two little girls
stood on tne top stair and looked over
the attic.
“There she Is over In the corner,
under the eaves: grandmother said
she was my mother's doll when she
was a little girl,” said one little girl,
named Frances.
“Yes. and there is the little rocking
chair my mother used to sit in. 11
know it is. because she has told me;
about the little red rocking chair lots :
of times,” said the other little girl,
whose name was Marian.
"Oh, look,” sail Frances, running
to the little tin kitchen and carrying
it out into the room; “here U a
kitchen and all the things to cook
with, too.”
“And here Is a Jumping-jack,” said
Marian, holding up Jack by hls head.
"Oh, look! Isn’t he funny, Frances?”
Marian pulled the string as she
spoke and up went Jack's legs and
urms ove r hls head.
"Isn't this doll old fashioned?” said
Frances, “Grandmother says her
name is Jemima, and look at 'her feet
and hands, Marian, and her hair, too;
they are painted. Isn’t she a queer
looking doll?”
“Let us take all these things down
stairs.” said Marian.
Jemima and her chair and the tin
kitchen and the little red rocker were
carried downstairs, and Poor Jack
was sure Jemima was lost to him
now, for he was left on the box in
the attic.
“Oh, we forgot Jumping Jack,” said
Frances, when they reached the bot
tom stair.
Jack's heart leaped for Joy when
he heard this, and soon he was on his
way downstairs with Jemima.
It was a long time before the attic
saw any of them again, and tomor
row I wilt tell about their return and
what ha pened afterward.
