The conference in session in Wash
ington just now to try and solve the
questions involved in the millions of
people now unemployed in the coun
try has tackled a big job. It is to be
hoped, however, that some plan can
be devised to remedy the situation.
After all there seems to be a pret
ty stiff fight brewing In the Senate
against the ratification of the German
treaty. Senator Williams of Missis
sippi, one of the giants of the Senate,
has Joined hands with llorali in op
position to the measure.
Work has actually started on that,
famous Norwich street road and we

TURNING TO GEORGIA.
A few mornings ago a newspaper
of the great city of Chicago chroni
cled the fact that many farmers in
the west were leaving to seek the
balmy climate and the fertile lands of
Georgia in future. Is there any won
der in this? Really there is not to
the thoughtful man who will give the
subject the very briefest considera
tion. V , 4 ,
There are many thousands of peo
ple who are threatened with hunger
and exposure in those unfortunate!
sections because they have to make
preparations in six months for the
whole It is oftentimes eviden
ced that sturdy men and women to
say nothing of frail boys and girls,
succumb to the bites of the bitter cold
in a*i effort to provide the necessities
of the homes. For several months
children are kept indoors with nearly
all the ventilation cut off and subject
ed to the dreaded diseases which find
an ultimatum only in bitter death.
Three hundred and sixty-lye days
are given over to sunshine and balmy
breezes in Georgia each year, and
there is never a day that one is un
comfortable thinly clad in summer
dress-wear. The laborers both young
and old go to and from work withoift
jeopardizing therihselves and without
feeling a single winter’s pang. The
garden and farm remains green the
whole year round and the sweet melo
dy of the many little bird’s voices
are never silenced.
In the bitter cold snow-covered
north where thousands were attracted
because of attractive advertising, a
farmer cannot work more than six
months in the year, which is usually
consumed in the growing of one
staple crop. The Western farmer is
well pleased with a gross return of
$l5O to S2OO per acre —and under no
conditions do they ever realize more
than S2OO, and more often $75. If
.cne of those oftrepeated drouths
should prevail during the crop season
—ond they oftentimes do—then they
realize nothing. They are then forced
to go through the entire year at a
dead expense. His only hope Is to
have a farm with a hundred or more
acres so thta whep fortune smiles up
on him it smiles big enough to hide
the frown when it takes the opposite
course the following season.
Adversity in farming pursuits is
very rarely realized and never as a
result of extended drouths lasting
from on season to the next. There
f# never a summer that brings a heat,
and drought so intense; or a winter
so cold hnt that the farm may be kept
green, and mid summer end mid-win
ter are nrtt our principal cropping
season; but, Instead, the most unprof
itable. The spring and fall are our
greatest producing seasons. We have
four separate and distinct seasons
and it is possible that four crops may
be grown successfully upon the same
ground In a single year. The Geor
gia farmer would be disappointed If
bln land did not yield S2OO per acre
gross with each crop. The Western
farmer may realize more net cash in
a gross receipt o. SIOO but the re
ceipts -are so much greater per acre
and the hazard so much less that the
comparison Is altogether in Georgia’s
fftvor.
Should th*e northern farmer be
burned out he must sit down and wait
the whole year through to get another
chance; should the same happen to a
Georgia farmer he has three more
chances before the Northerner gets
an opportunity.
These facts account for this contin
uous Inflow of immigration, and
Glynn county and all South Georgia
shoudl be on the alert to get their
share of it.
RATIFYING THE TREATY.
The Democrats should not occupy
the attitude of “dog in the manger”
in regard to the treaty negotiated by
a Republican administration with
Germany. The country has suffered
enough h.v the technical state of war
existing with that nation which has
been enough to prevent a resumption
of trade relations with Germany and
Austria. It has also kept in force cer
tain war regulations and war taxes,
llmt it is very important for the peo
ples interest to have done away with,
savs the Rome Tribune-Hcraid.
It is true the Republicans are re
i sponsible for this situation by their
refusal to ratify the treaty of Ycr
sullies, but the Democratic party is
the party of the people. They should i
not permit partisan politics *to influ
ence them when the people's Inter- 1
csts are at stake. Just because the
Republican party preferred to bring
the country to the verge of ruin in
order to carry a point furnishes nc
g*Hd rvs n why the Democrats
luouKi vlw likewise. 1?

Versailles, and taken altogether it is

Senator Borah has announced his
indention' .o-f 'opposing ratification. Mr.
Borah is ah able man,' he violently
opposed ratification of the treaty of
fered by former President Wilson,
and in connection with other irre
concilables finally defeated that trea
ty. JHe is now opposing this treaty,
but it will not avail. The Republi
cans possess an overwhelming major
ity of votes in the Senate, and the
treaty will be ratified in spite of Bor-,
ah’§ opposition. It will accomplish
no good purpose for the Democrats
to oppose it further, and they should
show their devotion to the interests
of the country by not offering contin
ued opposition.
REBUILDING CONVICTS.
A slogan, uttered during the course
of a speeeh before the American Road
Builders’ Association in Philadelphia,
a few days ago, ought to be adopted
b/ the state of Georgia, and urged by
the people.
An eminent ‘ gentleman from North
Crrolina in pleading for both better
roads and better treatment of prison
ers, said, “Let the convicts build the
roads and the roads will rebuild the
convicts.”
is little or no need to lay
stress on the necessity for roads in
this state, for she people are well ed
ucated as to their necessity and wel'
prepared to use means to obtain them.
The campaign of education for better
roads has been going on in the state
for many years and has had its effect
in arcusing a public sentiment on the
subject. Every community in the
state is an advocate for good roads.
We have not been quite so forward
in securing the rebuilding of our con
victs. There is no evidence that we
have ever tried any method of rebuild
ing those who have come under the
just condemnation of the law. Our
methods, such as we have had, have
been crude in the extreme.
It Is true, and it must be said for
the credit of the state, that there is
a very general demand for the total
abolition cf the convict lease system
a system by which state prisoners
have been sold to the highest bidders,
a system of practical slavery for the
time of the sentence.
Agitation on the subject has at lasi
ralsetf a public feeling that the state’s
system has been wrong, and has cre
ated a desire to bettor conditions
among the state’s prisoners. This
has led to a proposition to abolish fhe
convict lease system and that is grad
ua’ly being acocmpllsheci. It has led,
also to steps being taken to establish
a central farm on which the aged and
infirm and the women may
be employed in light outdoor tasks,
and where they may receive the per
sonal cire and attention of the offi
cers of the state.
This leads to the other part of the
pi a of the North Carolina gentle
man. that we place the able-bodied up
on the public ro*ds. net so much to
build up the loads, although that Is a
very desirable and commendable
thing to do but also to rebuild the
c< nvlct himself.
In the last half of the slogan this
state has been woefully remiss. While
other states were devising methods of
i* ring for their convicts after tew
lease, and preparing them for release.'
a preparation that contemplated the
teaching of the trade, or some means
of occupation by which, when the con
vict is again turned loose on the
world, he may find means of support
and not again be driven into the paths
of crime, the state of Georgia has
(1. e nothing. .
K: r many years our object seem
ed to he to make as much out of the
convicts as possible. We are grad
ually emancipating ourselves from
that ides and from that system, but
our task now is to follow anno of the
latest, best and most humane sys
tems and give our discharged con
victs at least one more chance in life
afte they are released.
The setting to work of men upon
the public roads will certainly do as
the speaker said, rebuild the convict,
it will fit him for such instruction
with relation to his life after release
a:; the state may Anally be induced to
; extend to him.
Rebuild the convict by nil meuis.
i laiC"■■alter he is rebuilt he should have
j Ids chance to become a real man
ugaiu.

Set it Aside Regularly
It’s no disgrace to be poor, but usually it’s wholly unnecessary.
Sensible thrift practiced diligently guards against poverty.
Many a man who is poor today could at least be comfortable if lie had
only laid aside a little of his income each week during his productive
