(Jet a move on. It’s October First!
From alj indications, it seems to
be the purpose of the Republican paf
ty to cut a big Georgia melon pretty
soon.
The voice of the people seems to
have been heard in congress. In any
event there is some lively work be
ing done on that new tax bill.
One thing must be confessed on all
sides, by friends and by enemies and
that is that Woodrow Wilson makes
an excellent ex-President.
We observe that the Democrats and
the Republicans are about to unite
on that German treaty. It’s well that
they can manage to unite on one sub
ject at any rate.
Whether it works to the detriment
of the minority party in congress or
not, the plan to limit is sensible and
business like. For our part, we hope
it will be adopted. * 5 v
It. now develops that the proposed
railroad strike is by no moans a cer

Lloyd George’s last note to the
Irish has been called conciliatory.
All of them have been of that nature.
But the thing that Ireland wants
and Is going to tight for to the death
Is freedom.

Now wo aro told that Governor

That (Atlanta meeting on October

Of a very deep concern to Brunswick.
It Is Import'nt that at least twenty

El Paso, Texas, comes to the front
with a husband who dies at the age

only 102 and a boy at 70 years of age.
Certainly that fountain of youth must
be iu the neighborhood of that Texas
city.
Senator Aahurat. of Arixona, Is
right. That seat In the United St ttea
senate from Michigan was literally
auctioned off to the highest bidder
and millionaire Newberry bought It.
What a traveaty on law and order and

APPEAL TO THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION.
The News hesitates to make sug
gestions to the Board of iß'ducation of
Glynn county!, for it realizes that
these gentlemen are doing a service
for the public at a great tax on their
time and their physical ability.
Again, we have a very high opinion
of the wisdom and the .clear sighted
ness of tjdjiise gentlemen, who, with
out compensation of any character,
are serving the cause of education in
this community.
However, we want to discuss with
the Board this mofning, briefly, the
question of the hours now devoted to
the school work in the public schools
of the city. We submit to these gen
tlemen that they are doing something
with the two session idea that few
other cities in Georgia are doing and
we earnestly say <to them, that the.
plan does not meet the approval of
anything like a majority of the pat
rons of the schools. It is also our
opinion that ninety-five per cent of
the teachers would be found oppos
ing the present double session per
day if they were permitted to express
their free view on the subject.
From time to time, we have pre
sented reasons to the Board for this
desired change and lately a large
number of Brunswick parents, pat
rons of the schools, have been doing
the same thing. These reasons have
covered a very large volume of sub
Jects, dealing with the child from the
moment he or she enters school al
eight-thirty in the morning, until four
thirty in the afternoon, when the
higher grades are dismissed. Yet in
the face cf all of these conditions, the
Board does not discuss the matter
with the people; does not change its
plan, but goes ahead on a system that
is in disfavor with a vast majority of
the people.
The News, seeking light on the sub
ject, has caused inquiries to be made
in other cities in Georgia and a result
of this investigation is published in
the news columns this morning. They
show that the old and time honored
system of the fathers, the one session
per day, is in vogue in practically all
of the larger cities, wh2re the infor
mation was requested. This list in
eludes Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Sa
Hannah, Rome, Cordele, and Valdosta
In some of the cities, the plan of two
sessions was tried and it was prompt
ly abandoned for the same reason wt
ftavp /been urging its abaudonmeui
here.
As we stated in the beginning. w<
are submitting these facts very brief
ly and we very earnestly ask the
Board of Plducatlon to look to the sub
jefft with care and consideration. The
matter is a large one In the average
Brunswick home and thousands ol
Brunswick people are Involved in the
subject. If they will do this; if they
will carefully inquire as to the sentl
ment, we are sure they will find It In
favor of the old system. That being
trqe, then their duty in the premises
is pi, .Un. In any event, we would like
the Board to discuss the mutter and
invite the patrons of the schools to
bo present.
MR. OAVIS AND THE NEW YORK
TRIBUNE.
We publish in another column of
this page an editorial from the New
York Tribune and deservedly com
mendatory of Jefferson Davis, who
will be known in history as the pres
ident of the Confederate States ol
America, but who would have been
known in history if there had never
been a Confederates States, says the
Florida Tlmes-Vnion. The editorial is
chiefly noteworthy as coming from
the Tribune, a paper that as com
plptely as any other in the country
represents a party that was once Stt
terly hostile to th South though its
editor and founder, bittert as the
bitterest against the South while the
war between the states was being
fought, quit fighting when it was end
ed and went on Mr. Davis’ bond re
leasing him from prison.
We said Mr. Davis woudt have, gone
down in history if there had neve
been a Southern Confederacy. Be
rore the outbreak of the war between
the states he was as prominent a*
any man in Ike country. A> a soldier
as secretary of war and as senator he
acquitted himself with distinction
wherever ho served. He was proba

c untry ever had and. whiie no war
was fought while he filled that office
there are public works In different
p*rt of the country, the result of

ter. Mr. Davis was the first publU

ed for him that this formation was
used for the first time in that battle.
He made no such claim. The forma-
was old. It gave the Greeks the
victory at Marathon tw T enty-four and

of Buena Vista was feught and prob

THE RiAILWAY.y CONTRIBUTION
TO UNEMPLOYMENT.
‘‘The unemployment conference
convened at Washington this week at
the call of the President should find
some interesting material for consid
eration in the quarterly report just is
sued by the Interstate Commerce
Commission on statistics of railway
employees' service and compensation
for the three mopths ending June 30,
1021,” says the Railway Age in an ed
itorial in its current issue. “This re
pot t shows that the average number
of railway emloyees in service dur
ing the quarter was 1,568,143, or 436
617 less than during the correspond
ing quarter of 1920, and 123,328 less
than during the first uqarter of 1921.
An even more striking reduction is
railroad employment is shown by the
comparison between August, 1920,
when the railroads were carrying a
record-breaking traffic, and April,
1921. The reduction for this period
was 655,108 or nearly 30 per cent.
“In August, 1920, the number of
employees in service on the railroads
of the United States was 2,197,824.
In April this hid been reduced to
1,542,716. For the first quarter of
1921 the average waß 1,691,471 and
for March it had fallen to 1,593,068.
In April the situation was still worse
but there was a slight increase in
May to 1,575,599 and in June to 1,568,-
143. L3ter reports will undoubtedly
show further Increases for the ensu
ing months for which the reports are
not yet available, as traffic has • ip
creased and the railroads have been
;ble gradully to increase their main
tenance forces, particularly since the
siight reduction in wages allowed by
the Railroad Labor Board on July 1,
but every one knows that the im
prewement clr.ce last spring has been
relatively very slight. An analysis of
the report indicates that while the de
crease In the amount of- freight offer
ed to the carriers has naturally led to
a reduction in the number of train
crews even heavier reductions were
made in the traek and c*r repair forc
es and heavy reductions w'ere also
made In the clerical forces.
“The total compensation paid to
the employees of Class I roads for the
second quarter of 1921 was $699,684.-
795 as compare 1 with $757,325,356 for
be first qu-' er of 1921 and $1,052,-
199,451 In the third quarter of 1920.
Since in all these three quarters the
employees were on the same basis of
wages, the reduction in th payroll
was entirely due to reduction in the
number of employees.
“While the commission’s statistics
Indicate the extent of the unemploy
ment in the railway industry which
his resulted from the general busi
ness depression of the past year and
the necessity for the railroads to cur
♦ail their expenditures in every way
possible, it does not show the very
Urge amount of unemployment in in
dustries which are dependent upon
the prosperity of the railways. Di
rectly and Indirectly the drastic re
trenchment the railways have had
to make undoubtedly have caused the
unemployment cl more than a million
men.’*

Oklahoman Praises Black-Draught,
Haying Used! it “Can Safely
Say for 50 Years.”
Grandfleld, Okla. —Cue of the best
known farmers of Tilman County, Mr.
G. W. Tisdale, who owns and manages
a wagon yard here, say 3 -.
"I have used Thedford’s Black-
Draught—l believe I can safely say for
fifty years.
“I was born and reared in Texas,
Freestone County, sixty-four years ago.
I have been married forty-four years.
My father used Black-Draught before 1
was married, and gave it to us . . .
“For forty-four years of my married
life, it has had a place on our medi
cine shelf, and is the only laxative, or
liver ‘medicine, we use. We use It
for torpid liver, sour stomach, head
ache, indigestion ... I don’t think we
could get along without it, knowing
what it has done for us, and the money
it has saved. It is just as good and re
liable today as it was when we began
its use. My boys use It and they are
satisfied it’s the best liver medicine
they have ever used.”
Thedfprd’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, not disagreeable to take
and acts in a prompt and natural way*
So many thousands of bave
been benefited by the se of Thedford’s
Black-Draught, you should nave no
hesitancy in trying this valuable old
well-established remedy, for most liver
and stomach disorders. NC-139b.
