PEARSON©TRIBUNE VOL. 7—NO. IT NEWS OF DOR NEIGHBORS. Gleanings from All Sections of South Georgia. The tax values of Cook county, as given out by the tax receiver, amounts to $3,334,407. It is less than 1020. The number of resist eretl voters is 1,529, of which 083 are negroes. Representative Vocello of Cam den county consumes a large space in his local paper telling his con stituents what he did in the late legislature. Nothing like' "keep ing in the limelight." The Milltown city fathers have levied ass per capita street tax for 1921, and some of the citizens are "kicking like bay steers." Al ways something to grumble about and keep the community in a tur moil. 11. L. Tomlinson, A. B. Clements, W. C. Johnson, Joseph Powell and K. E. Stapluton all want to be tax collector in Lanier county, but there is no one who desires to be county surveyor. Why not one or two run for the latter office? The advertising which the see tion of Boston, Thomas county, has received in connection with her trucking interest and the suc cess achieved, is bearing fruit. Many inquiries are being made for small farms in that section. The Boy Scout camp for 1921 has ended and "('amp Cheerful" is deserted. The boys made St. Marys lively for two weeks, and added much to their own store of knowledge. The boys want to go back there for the 1922 camp. Mr. E. L. Purvis, a farmer of Cook county, planted twelve acres iu melons this year, gathered seven car loads and sold them for $2,450 net, or more than S2OO per acre. He gave his melon crop careful at tention, Painstaking care will win. All roads leading out of Way cross are said to be (he worst in the state, even the East and West highway—the road leading to Pearson. The City Council of Waycross has requested Commis sioner Woodard to get busy with his road gang. Farmers around Boston town, down in Thomas county, are al ready hauling out their fertilizers and preparing lands for a fall crop of truck —mostly squashes, beaus, English peas, cucumbers and cab bage. September is the month to plant these crops. The farmers of Lowndes county are actively engaged in harvesting their crops of peanuts. The next thing is to find a market for the peanuts. Always something to bo marketed in South Georgia—water melons. cauteloupes, tobacco, pota toes, peanuts, sugar cane, hay, cotton. Mr. Leo Knox, a farmer of Lanier county, had four and a half acres planted to tobacco this year. It yielded 4,426 pounds, which be .sold for $823.40, or more than S2OO per acre. He sold the same grade of tobacco last year for double that amount. But Mr. Knox is not in a grumbling humor; he thinks S2OO per acre is a fair return for his eiop. The junking of the Valdosta. Moultrie and Western railway has been halted. Supreme efforts are on to save the road to the people living along its line, who would be destitute of transportation if it be abandoned. The building of this road some years ago resulted in the building up of several thriving communities along the line which would be enormous sufferers if the road is not saved from the junk pile. The final results of the ef forts to save it is waited with in terest. Rub-My-Tism kills pain. Peiiagra. There seems to be an impression that the presence of corn bread in the diet causes pellagra. This is a mistaken idea although for a time it was believed to be true. Peiiagra is not communicable dis ease, it is neither contracted from bacteria or food nor from contact with persons suffering with tin 1 disease. Pellagra is due to a diet defi cient iu nitrogens which are found in milk, eggs, cheese, lean meat of all kinds, uuts and dried peas. An absence of these foods from the diet and the presence only of starches, sugars and fats is believ ed to cause the disease. l)r. Gold berger, of Mississippi, produced the disease among convicts, who volunteered to have him experi ment with them, by feeding them exclusively bread and molasses, grits, rice and fat hog meat. lie cured them by feeding them a well balanced diet. —Moultrie Observer. Writing on the subject of pella gra the learned specialist of Sav annah, Dr. Elton S. Osborne, has this to say: “The South has recently been placed iu an unenviable position; the press of the country has pro claimed pellagra and poverty ram pant; the South has indignantly denied tiie allegation knowing full well that this is the land of plenty and that in this southland it re quires but little effort to live com fort ably in abundance. The pov erty of knowledge as how to feed ones self intelligently, proper foods is easily procured in abundance yet lack of knowledge prevents the body from being properly nourish ed. HOG AND HOMINY. “Hog and hominy has been pro claimed as the staff of life of the South, the press has preached hog and hominy for years; the packing houses dump their butt meat on the South; no other section of the country will cat it. The hominy of yore was good food, iu the good old days when every farmer ground his own grain, consuming shortly after the grinding. Today we buy largely from the Western mills. The hominy is refined and kept until it is robbed of all the vital principles of the grain. Themiller has to refine it so that it will keep for months, it keeps well because no self-respecting weevil will eat this devitalized food. I'ORK, PONES AND PELLAGRA. “Hog and hominy do not contain all of the proper principles neces sary to maintain the body in vigor, resulting in loss of tone and vltali ty. There is a lack of ‘pep - the subject being busy all day trying to keep awake and all night trying to go to sleep. Pork and pones promote pellagra and poverty. “The slogan of ‘Hogand hominy' should be changed to ‘Cow and garden.’ It should be a stigma on any housewife in the South who does not feed her family largely on dairy products, vegetables and fruits. Feeding experiments prove that eliminating dairy products and vegetables from the dietary you cannot even raise a good rat. Their expectation of life is short ened to 25 per cent of the normal, they will not maintain their body weight and will not reproduce. “Let the press of the South preach ‘Cow and garden.’ It is a vital necessity for health of the people. “Not all the riches of Croesus nor the joy of the winsome maid's bow’r, Nor the court of ibe royal chief lain, with all its renown pomp and power, Can gladden the eye or quicken the pulse, or give the heart one cheerful hour Once health is lost. Always take time by the forelock' Officia] Newspaper of the County of Atkinson. PEAHSONs, GEORGIA, FRIDAY. ATJGI ST 2(5, 1921 EDITORIAL OPINIONS. The Brethren are Discussing a Number of Live Topics. As a means of checking up on speeders, a device has been invent ed by a Los Angeles man which consist of an attachment secured to the front of the ear, which is supplied with three lights. When running slow ly, a white light shows, which continues until the rate passes the limit of the eity ordin ance, when a green light, comes on, showing that the country rate is being used. A red light indicates the next rate of speed. —Quitman Free Press. Farmers have lor a long time felt they could be benefitted by co-operation; but in other years they have worked at the co-opera tive buying end of the game. Taught by experience of farmers of California they are now beginning (o realize that, the selling end is the place on which to center their efforts. With enough cotton fanners banded together one would no longer hear, “What will you give met” but it would be "I’ll take so and so for my cotton.” — Oeilla Star. If begins to look like Former President Wilson is getting well. A few days ago he spent hours at his law office, meeting clients, con suiting with his partner, and ap plying himself to the work with an enthusiasm and vigor that surpris ed visitors. It is earnestly to be hoped by all Americans that Wood row Wilson will be restored to full powers of body that his wonderful mind may be commanded in service for the further good of his people. —Savannah News. Rains have placed the roads of many counties in bad condition. It is not practicable, of course for county road gangs to immediately reach every point at which repairs are needed, and this is further ar gument in favor of ouroft repeated reasons for the patrol system of road upkeep. A section of road a few miles in length let out to some reliable citizen living thereon could be kept in good condition the year ’round with little work and expense by attending small breaks and dragging the surface after rains —Metter Advertiser. Is corporal punishment for children right. We know a great many w ill rise up and quote that ancient proverb, “spare the rod and spoil the child,” but that is not from the Bible as some will argue. A few days ago a gentle man was walking along the road and heard a child screaming. A little latei when he had passed on a distance lie saw a parent belabor ing a little girl ten or eleven years of age with a stick. The child was humiliated and begged its parents to wait until the man passed on. Our contention is that moral sua sion and other forms of punish ment are perferable to beatings. More times than not, the beating is more to vent a personal temper than to correct a fault of the child; Children have a sense of honor, more pronounced a great many times than their elders, and until a child abuses the honor system they should never be beaten. There may be times when a little switch ing is necessary but these times are. few and far between when the parent manages the child as it should be managed. —Nashville Herald.

Fall Root Crops. Almost every one knows how to grow turnips; but when it comes to the various other root crops grown in our gardens, the knowledge of their cultural requirements is not so general. A good rule to remem ber is that practically all root crops do best in a deep fertile soil, and should be planted at such a time that they will have a moderately cool season for development. In the spring we plant these crops about the first of March. But.for a fall crop they should be planted from the middle of August until early September. Some of the common root crops that are adapted for fall planting are beets, salsify, parsnips, carrots, turnips and winter radishes. Any surplus seeds of these which may have been left from spring plant ing may be used for the fall plant ing. Unless the soil is already fertile, it should be given a heavy applica tion of stable manure put on broad cast before the laud is broken. A moderate application of a good commercial fertilizer with the stable manure will be helpful. After the land is broke and har rowed the rows may be laid oul threo feet apart for horse cult ure or eighteen inches apart for hand cul ture. Shallow flat ridges should be made and then opened so that the bottom of the drills will be slightly below the general level of the soil. Sow the seeds continuous ly iu the drill and cover very light ly. A very good method is to run awheel barrow down the drill which presses the seeds into the soil and covers them sufficiently. As the seeds germinate, the young plants should be cultivated regular ly so as to keep down weeds. After the young plants are about two inches high they should be thinned as follows; beets and turnips two inches apail; parsnips, radishes and carrots one and one half inches apart; salsify one inch apart. Unless the winter is unusually cold, practically all these root crops may be allowed to remain in the soil and harvested for table use as they are needed all through the late fall and winter. Those which are inclined to grow above the ground should have consider able soil thrown up around the plants at the last cultivation. H. P. Stuckey, Director. Mr. Rankin Knows. Mr. Win. H. Kankin in counted one of the wisest authorities on advertising in America. He is head of the big advertising agency which bears his name. Listen to this statement from Mr. Rankin; "If these days of high cost of white paper and printing the ad vertising could not print a full page ad and buy the white paper at the small cost the newspaper charges him for the complete page deliver ed into the home by invitation. That is to say, the readers of a newspaper buy the paper because they want to read it and because they know they get more for their money than anything else they could buy at the same price. That is what makes newspaper advertis ing so valuable to the advertiser, provided the advertiser lias the right kind of message and the right kind of merchandising plan back of his advertising”. 666 cures a Cold quickly.

That Waycross will have a Shrine Ceremonial here Labor Day now appears to be an assured fact. The Shrine Club of Waycross has been in correspondence with Alee Temple of Savannah for some time, with the view to getting them to put on a ceremonial here* and the local club now has assur ance that the ceremonial will be put on provided enough “Fresh Meat” is furnished to justify the trip. Waycross will furnish a large class and reports are being receiv ed from Alma, Valdosta, Quitman, Bainbridge, Albany, Brunswick and a number of other near-by towns that they have candidates who wish to take advantage of "Crossing the Hot Sands” on the occasion of Aloe’s visit to M7ay cross. One of the most successful pil grimages Alee has made in a long while was the one to Waycross last Labor Day, and local Sh l iners claim that on the first Monday in September of this vear, they will give the visitors an even bigger time than they did on the occasion of their last visit. Hon.

"A patron,” is out iu another article in The Willacoocbee Times, but it demonstrates that there is no material difference in the views of himself and the Tribune editor. He thinks a court house and a jail is necessary to the welfare of well ordered county, and so does the Tribune editor. He believes iu educating the rising generation; he believes in comfortable school houses, with plenty of room, and all modern apparatus to illustrate and impress upon the student’s minds the subjects being taught, and this is a hobby with the Tri bune editor. In all these both are perfectly agreed. But therein does not lay the iu opportunity of “A patron’s” article to which lhe Tribune editor desir ed to call public attention. The article appeared just at the time when our honorable county comj missioners were prepared to call the election for the $30,000 addi tional bonds necessary to complete a work they had already begun, and it gave color to the idea that “A patron” was seeking to defeat the issuance of the bonds; and, if that was the purpose, the writer was certainly within the rights of a free American citizen. The Tribune editor belongs on the other side of the fence. Ho has the utmost confidence in the men who are in charge of all our county affairs and do not believe they would ask their fellow citizens to do something that was not nec essary for the welfare of the coun ty in voting for the additional bond issue. And hence he is sup porting them to the best of his ability. When the time arrives for boosting our school interests the Tribune will be no delinquent; but let’s finish one thing at a time and in a manner that will be cred itable to us as a people. The Tribune repeats that the people of Atkinson county are to be congratulated upon the charac ter of the public building their officials have seen fit to erect for them. They have buikied not only for the present but for many years in the future —a building of which our children and their children to the tenth generation will not be ashamed. In this connection the Tribune editor would suggest to “A Pat ron” that any suggestion tor the good of the county would receive, if presented to them, respectful arid careful attention by our worthy county commissioners. They take cognizance of all such matters and their court is tho proper forum in which to get re sults. Rub-My-Tism for Rheuma tism. Methodist Church Directory.
