There are newspaper men in
Georgiawho will urge their best
friend to run for office —knowing
such friend cannot be elected —
just for (he announcement fee they
hope to gel out of it.
"I. : ncle" Dick Grubb, of the Da
rien Cassette, says he is opposed to
the division of (leorgia into North
(leorgia and South (leorgia, but
will compromise with Darien as
the capital of South Georgia. Me
is getting to he real humorous in
his old age.
The people of Georgia with al
most one accord approve the ad
ministration of Hugh M. Dorsey
as governor. Ilis re-election next
year without opposition seems to
bo the program. lie will do well
not to Ilirt with the United States
senatorship at this time.
Savannah" is the name of a
sprightly little monthly journal
published by*l lie 1 Savannah Hoard
of Trade in the -inlejest of that
city. A real advertisement of Sa
vannah and Savannah merchants
is to be inaugurated with the com
ing year, throughout South Ceor
gia, consisting of a page twice a
month in twenty four daily and
weekly papers iu that territory.
“Fannersshould useevery means
possible this season to produce a
high grade .of syrup," urges the
Thomasvill'- Press, “and then put
it into merchantable packages.
The waste of good food by poor
preparation has in times past cost
the South many millions." The
Tribune has time and again ex
horted its readers to follow this
excellent rule.
The Tribune at the risk of being
called grouchy reproduces the fol
lowing admonition from the Met ter
Advertiser: "Freedom of the
streets for boys, in city or country
town, means in the most eases the
ruin of the boys. There ought to
be in every municipality an uni
formly enforced law prohibiting
unemployed boys or girls from
running around loose to pick up
knowledge of even sort of devil
ment and dirty trick."
The Southeast Georgian elo
quently portrays the situation:
“Getting down to real food conser
vation is going to bi> an unaccus
tomed undertaking for the \meri
can people, but the sooner the ne
cessity m realized and acted upon
the better. It is a choice between
conservation now or consternation
later.” Experience is a stern teach
er. but its pupils surely learn its
lessons thoroughly.
Bro. Davis, of the Thomasville
Press, remarks: "We saw a medi
um sized stag hog priced at $45.00
this week. It is nice to talk about,
but when it comes to putting that
much of your hard cash in one pig,
it causes the consumer to scratch
his head and wonder how he w ill
ever get his money's worth out of
it. You must not think, brother,
but just get down to the lick log.
A Thoughtless Stab.
The Southeast Georgian, pub
lished at St. Marys, taking a cue
from the Tribune editorial on the
congressional race in the Eleventh
district, perpetrates the following
diabolical reference:
“The Pearson Tribune says
there will he three candidates
for congressman in the Elev
enth district, but names only
one —Judge John C. McDon
ald, of Wayeross. Suppose
Mr. Walker makes two. Won
der if that fellow who never
paid his advertising bill in the
last campaign will have tin
gall to be the third one?"
Bro. Trimble, your query is not
only ill-natured but if does .Judge
W. G. Lankford, to whom it is
easily understood you refer, a
grave injustice. This matter was
aired in the Tribune’s presence at
the press meeting at Jesup—that
is, one side of it —which, in point
of fact, is not. greatly different
from the other side which was
given the Tribune later.
The Tribune man has no special
interest in Judge Lankford's race
for congress —is not. his spokes
man, press agent or manager —but
he loves fair play and justice.
Judge Lankford’s race last year
was an honorable one, as
clean as any man in the race. The
Tribune is informed he paid all
his advertising bills except a claim
of $lO to the Blaekshear Times
for publishing his announcement,
which was that much in excess of
what lie paid to any other new s
paper in the district. Judge
Lankford did pay the Times sls
for that service, the same as lie
paid the Valdosta Times, which is
the more widely circulated and
iuiluent ial paper.
Last, year the charge of $25 for
the service rendered Judge Lank
ford by the Blaekshear Times was
unreasonable, and it was practi
cally so declared at the Jesup
meeting during the discussion of
advertising rates, when the mini,
mum rate agreed upon for such
service was fixed at a much lower
figure. ____________
That Altamaha Bridge.
The prospect to span the Alta
maha river with a public bridge is
a most laudable undertaking, but
the question of its location is one
which should command the most
careful consideration.
The Tribune lias noticed going
the rounds of the press a propo
sition to locate tin- bridge at Doe
tortown —said to emanate from
Savannah —provided the people
west of the river would subscribe
$150,000 to a $200,000 fund for
that purpose.
The better proposition is to sub
mit t he matter of location to a com
pet cut civil engineer, and let his
report be final as to this question.
A mistake in this matter would be
costly, and wasting money on the
proposition is not the proper
t hing.
The Tribune is thoroughly ac
quainted with the Doetortown
proposition, and knows that S2OO,
000 would be insufficient to
guarantee the Altamaha bridge
and a sufficient highway that
would l>e passable at all seasons of
the year. The number of bridges
that would have to be built on
this route would be four, the Al
tamaha, Morgan Lake, Black
Swamp and Jones Creek and all of
them costly. Then an embank
ment, twenty feet wide, will have
to be built practically from Doe
tortown to Ludowiei, a distance of
six or seven miles, and this em
bankment would have to be as
high as that of the Coast Line
Railroad.
The Tribune is informed that
there is a point about five or six
miles above the railroad which
would be a more desirable loca
tion and that the cost of building
the bridge and road would be a
little more than half that required
for tha Doetortown proposition.
The proposition is one calling
for care and thought.

PEAK SON TRIBUNE, NOVEMBER 9, 1917
WallaJ p ‘-'"pont.
The Tribune is in nearly accord
with the idea that a Savannah
man should be placed on the
Waterways Commission. In this
matter all Georgia should be in
terested because Savannah, the
chief South Atlantic seaport city,
is within her borders, and she
should want Savannah’s prestige
maintained. As the Tribune sees
it this can only be done by having
one of her own citizens as a mem
ber of the Commission, and in eas
ting about for suitable material
for the place Charles G. Edwards’
name came into mind. But it is
now understood that Mr. Edwards’
is not available. Then the name
of Wallace J. Pierpont came into
mind, and there is no man better
fitted for the place than he, and no
one would give the position better
service. So far as the Tribune,
the people of Pearson and the new
county of Atkinson, is concerned,
they would vote unanimously that
Mr. Fierpont be given a place on
the Commission.
PALACE OF THE CZARS.
Beauties of Tsarskoe Solo, Built by
Peter the Groat.
Tsarskoe Solo, the city some fif
teen miles south of Fctrograd where
the former czar was accustomed to
spend the spring and where the peas
ants seized the hunting preserve of
the deposed Nicholas, is a beautiful
place.
The city now has a population of
30,<K)0, It wits nn Insignificant village
when Peter the Great presented it to
his consort, Catherine 1., and began
the construction there of the great im
perial palace. The palace was com
pleted just a year before Peter's death
and was greatly beautified by his
daughter, Elizabeth Petrovna, In later
years.
Home of tiie most magnificent royal
apartments In Europe are found In this
palace, notably the bedroom of Marie
Aloxandrovna, consort of Alexander
11., with its opalescent glass walls, its
columns of purple glass and Its moth
er-of pearl Inlaid floor. The walls of
another chamber are paneled w ith am
ber; a third apartment is decorated
with silver; another has wonderful ta
bles and chandeliers which glow with
soft light of lapis lazuli, and there Is a
ballroom which glitters with gold and
mirrors.
With ail these sumptuous apartments
at his disposal, Nicholas 11. seldom oc
cupied any of them, but preferred to
live in a modest building no larger
than the country home of the average
well to do American.
The extensive gardens and parks,
embracing an area twenty-eight times
as large as the United States capltol
grounds, are among the chief beauties
of Tsarskoe Selo. Picturesque grot
toes, artistic bridges, charming arbors
and delightful swan ponds are to tie
found on all sides, with here and there
an artificial ruin which captivates the
eye and quickens the imagination.
Beyond the imperial gardens and
grounds the streets of tlie vilinge are
broad and straight. There are several
barracks and hospitals and eight
churches.—National Geographic Soclety

GETTING THE FEET WET.
Th« Part the Sidewalk Plays In Colds
and Grip Epidemics.
That a close relationship exists be
tween sidewalks and grip epidemics
is asserted in Good Ileulth by Martin
Novins. Grip and colds, says Mr. Kev
ins, are germ diseases. Germs are
floating about us in the air. W*
breathe them in by the thousand. “But
they are cowardly fellows. Once they
get inside a healthy body they retreat.”
lie goes on:
“It is only when one thing or anoth
er disturbs our health equilibrium that
the ‘bugs’ manage to gain a foothold
iu our system. It may be injudicious
eating, it may bo lack of fresh air. but
most frequently it is some kind of ex
posure-getting the feet wet—that lays
i fortress open to them.
“it is not ut all hard to get your feet
wet. And that is where the sidewalk
comes in. The ordinary sidewalk is a
right hand assistant when you want a
cold foot bath, it is built flat, without
any slope to drain it.
“The condition is aggravated if there
occurs a natural depression in the side
walk. The water runs into it and
stands until it is dried or is frozen.
The natural result is a harvest of grip
epidemics and any number of colds,
bronchitis and lung troubles. And tu
berculosis, too—tills disease can often
be traced to sidewalks, since it usually
starts with some simple lung affection.
“We must stop building flat side
walks and make them convex instead,
so they will drain easily, and elevate
them slightly above the level of the
ground.”
The Greatest Evil.
The Persian author Saadi tells a sto
ry of three sages—a Greek, au Indian
and a Persian—who In the presence of
the Persian monarch debated this ques
tion: Of all evils incident to humanity
which is the greatest? The Grecian
declared, “Old age oppressed with pov
erty;” the Indian answered, “Pain with
impatience,” while the Persian, bow
ing low, made answer, “The greatest
evil, O king, that I can conceive is the
eoUch of death without one good deed
of life to light the darksome way."
