Karris fills this requirement, settle on him and he done wi’t If if. The last word in the culinary art, according to flic Tifton Ga zette, is to know how to properly cook and serve pone corn bread, and bacon and col lards. It has al most become a lost art. 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. (live the Tribune your next or der for printing. 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 Bulletln. 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."
