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can’t get It through Its head how the speaker can withdraw Ids “Shoo Fly" speech Tt earnestly Inquires: “How can It be withdrawn?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 ah' >o fly to Ita oppressive Utile no tions KIND COUNCIL FROM THE ENEMY. 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 ping monoply In the land and Senator Vardan an. the Mississippi blather skite, who haa until this happy hour, been the choice butt for ridicule among republicans Is promptly glori fied for his wisdom and bravery In setting President Wilson straight “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.

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. Here’s the Dope on the Condition of Sea Gulls Charleston, 8.

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. Tomorrow’* Story— Jemima and Jack.’’—Part 11.
