It lias boon given out and hand <•(1 around the Eleventh emigres isioual district, apparently einaiiat jug from Way cross and St. Marys 1 hat Congressman Lankford is op posed to the St. Marys St. Marks canal project. This is a misapprehension and just what the dealers in this gossip, expect to get out of retailing it does not yet appear. Congressman Lankford is as frank about this matter as one could possibly be, when he says he favors the St. Marys-St. Marks eanal provided congress will make a sufficient appropriation to guar antee a sea level canal. The interest which ninety per cent, of liis constituents have in the canal is for drainage purposes, which only a sea level canal would afford. He is frank enough to say t hat lie is opposed to the construction of a lock canal on the St. Marys- St. Marks route, because it would lie an ever present menace to the farmers living contiguous to it, by flooding their farms and forcing them to abandon their homes. The Oenuilgeo canal project is secondary and will be supported by Mr. Lankford only in the event a sea-level canal cannot be had on the St. Marys-St. Marks route. The Tribune is not the official spokesman of Congressman Lank ford, but for the sake of fairness to all concerned the editor takes the liberty to publish these im pressions gathered from him in a conversation on the subject. The statement in the papers that “Road work begins soon” may be considered and is sterotyped and stale. The Tribune man had rath er see than to hear of its begin ning. The teachers of Chatham county have just received a boost in their salaries. The Tribune congratu lates them. It takes a lot of money to keep them in the front ranks of society. Cairo, in Crady county, claims to be the largest cane syrup market in the world, and it now aspires to be the largest pecan market in Georgia. But she is going to find Albany a strong competitor. If W. J. Bryan is heeded the peace treat y and league of nations, warped with reservations and com promise, will be ratified today. And liis enemies think they have President Wilson on their hips. Grace Y. Worsley has been ap pointed postmaster at Manor to succeed 11. It. Cornelius. Ernest 1). ('ribb, who was appointed last June, declined to serve; the pay was too small for an able-bodied working man. The Savannah Alfamaha Bridge Comptuiy has received notice from Senator Harris that it has been granted the permission by eliief of army engineers to erect a bridge across the Altamaha river at the Upper Sister's Bluff site. “The presidential year is the time when public office and the old inaidsoxhibit their similarity— both seeking the man.” So says the Savannah News. Mariah had you thought about it! But, some old maids create diversion by seek ing to be men and it is a pity they were adversely created. industrial South Georgia is growing at such a pace that one grows di/.zy contemplating it. New industries are springing up in every nook and corner of the territory — plants for canning vegetables, fruits and berries, plants for curing meat aud potatoes, plants for preparing pecans and peanuts for the use of confectioners.

ADAMS’ OLD STAND, PEARSON. GEORGIA TO SAVE G. & F. It gives the Tribune genuine pleasure to state that plans and means arc being devised to save the Georgia and Florida railroad from the junk pile. The news may lie very assuring to the many peo ple and industries depending on it for transportation to and from market. There seems to be $700,000 worth of Receiver's Certificates outstanding. The plan, as pre sented to the Augusta Chamber of Commerce, is that certain inter ests, not divulged, will care for SIOO,OOO of these certificates pro vided Hie peoblewill liquidate the remaining $300,000. The Chamber of Commerce after considering the proposition, decided to undertake the raising of the $300,000.* It seems to be confident that two thirds of the amount can lie had in Augusta and is quite sure the remaining one third will be provided by the cities aud towns along the line. The plan is to purchase the Re ceiver's Certificates, bearing inter eat at the rate of 8 per cent, with the road as first security, then re organize the road and take it out of the hands of the receivers. '1 he directors are to be chosen from among the purchaser of the certi ficates, who will place skilled and progressive railroad men in charge of its operation. The plan seems to be not only feasible but a fine investment, and the Tribune believes the Chamber of Commerce will experience no difficulty in raising the required amount. The people of Ray City, Nashville, Denton, I’valda, and other live towns which have sprung up along the line and de pending on it for an outlet to the business world, will doubtless meet the proposition enthusi astically. If this plan succeeds, and the Tribune thinks it will, the Geor gia and Florida would become a paying institution, and would avert a disaster to the business interests of South and South eastern Georgia, the extent of which cannot now be measured or understood. M. Clemeneeau, “Tiger,” will succeed Poincaire as President of the Republic of France. No bet ter selection could be made. NOTICE OF BOND ELECTION. GEt HUH A—Atkinson County.
