INTERESTING LETTER FROMMR. TWITTY Discusses Conference For the Common Good. TRIBUTE TO MRS. FORTNER. I Discusses Kduca* ion. Inability of Railroads to the Traveling Public atul Various Other Topirs. To the Editor of The News: If the Conference for the Common Oood failed to benefit and upbuild , your city and community. It may be eald that It cannot be moved by or- 1 dlnary means. The efforts recently J put forth looking to that end by the numerous writers and speech makers cannot fall to result in good. A few years ago the plan of calling a conference to consider the best means to be used for the common good was not thought of, but the . modern Idea Is to get the people to- | gether and exchange views, carrying out the thought that In union therej Is strength. No doubt about it, the . modern Idea Is the best and furnishes i the best results and It applies to all ^enorts at upbuilding and advance \/F civilization. I notice that Mr. Wats^on, commissioner of agriculture, Rays that the farmers are using an enormous amount of fertilizers to | take the place of brains. We have ' been too lazy to plow deep, he says, and have not utilized elbow grease j as the situation demanded. Year after year have the farmers piled tonic into a sick man, as it were, and j that the excessive use of fertilizers | has taken more from the soil than it leaves in it. If he (Mr. Watson) know what he was talking about (and I presume he does) it is time the farmers should halt and follow the course intimated?use elbow grease and plow deep. No doubt some will say talk is cheap, and in many cases will follow daddy's old teaching. The late death of Mrs. Mary Clark , Fortner brings to my mind one of her characteristics, viz: her freedom from fear. I remember about the time she had reached her majority (about twenty years old) that a heavy wind storm raged Tn the Armament and I expected to see her nervous and exhibit fear, but not so, rather the opposite. She seemed delighted at such manifestation of TVrtne power and so expressed herself In the midst of the disturbed ele kuciitn. a. uw inn i uiiinuuri iu?u a ever saw any one, especially a lady, as calm under Ruch circumstances. I am prepared to testify that other Timbers of the family (I know them aff except the mother) possessed the same fearless characteristics and always stood ready to maintain and uphold the right. I was in the army with her hrother James and it was understood by all his comrades that he was fearless and could be depended on in any emergency. I am glad of the opportunity to bring forward the merit and worth of the family to those who are rot informed. Soon after the incident herein mentioned. Miss Mary ' (Mrs. Fortner) left the state and, ; therefore, I had no further associa- : tion with her. Her death was quite I a shock and moves from the stage of j action the last member of the family. save one, Mrs. Jennie C. Hughes, j to whom I commend. In her bereavement, the Giver of All Good. A few days ago I saw an account of the Hooper creek wreck, at least I a partial report of the damages as-1 aessed against the railroad growing I out of the wreck. The statement , salfl mat consent veroicts in is cases aggregated about $30,000, and a number of the larger cases were continued, therefore It is hard to say what the full damages will foot up. It seems bard and unreasonable to Impose damages on defendants In such cases. It is their own property and their patrons, the traveling public, take chances when they board their trains, they know there is danger: yet the law fixes their responsibility and makes public carriers liable for dataages and it is known and published, therefore. It isVnglit, however unreasonable it dray appear. It is intended to make carries vigilant and Inspect all branches (especially trestles) which Jeopardize human life. If some such incentives or responsibility were not enjoined wrecks would be much more common. These wrecks lessen profits?what sayest thou, brother? Scarcely a day passes but we read of automobile accidents (serious and * often deaths.) I believe, however, that It is to be charged to carelessness in many cases. I would suggest that the newspapers throughout the country sound a warning voice and insist on more care in handling and operating automobiles and thereby save life and limb. We (wife and I) have been honored with the announcement of the marriage of Col. Loro, Springs to Mrs. Lena Jones Wade of Pulaski, Tenn. We conclude, as the Colonel saw fit to cover considerable territory Deiore L'lilKIMK U ntiioi huh mat no vuii boast of having made no mistake. The Colonel carried up a nice representative party to witness the nuptial vows, but I believe they were all married men and therefore had no axes to grind pertaining to matrimonial matters. Before I dismiss the subject I will add that If there Is anything In a nice home and superbly furnished, that the bride (Mrs. Springs) cannot be otherwise than happy, which the writer devoutly iuD6s will follow. ^uFt would seem that this country H just now very much aroused on the subject of education, that thousands and millions of money is being . expended towards the education of the present generation. It is the result or fruits of advance thinkers and I the end is not yet. The law makers and leading characters will continue to advocate larger outlays for school purposes. I understand that Mr. I f THE ] Kingle, school superintendent of tens your county, Is much interested in his work and is the right man in the right place. Keep him on the job. \ Too much money can scarcely be expended along educational lines. It Hot has been said by some one that "parsimony towards education is lib- L.. erallty toward crime." Investments .uy in the right sort of schools will de- ' clare a dividend in the reduction of * , 1 the state's bill for criminal costs and ^ the city expenditure for policemen, says some writer who knows whereof 3 he speaks. If these things are true m, (and we belivee they are) the money |a spent for education is a revenue for pr the government. Unfortunately, : ,)en however, we have some disgruntled *ol(' bachelors, who take the other side of to'' this question and so it is we have to , meet opposition in every walk in 1?? life. I ra,? I want to add a word to illustrate the Ignorance that abounds, especial- j ly in the country districts. A writer . says if you were to mention vermi- j i)R" form-appendix in the presence of|am' some men they would guess or reckon i are that it was the name of a patent ?r f medicine almanac or maybe a new jt,le kind of bug the agricultural experts , USPI is no easy matter to put machinery j P'ta had found. It may be said that it s in motion to bring ilbout the results ' herein mentioned, but where there is ,rrui a will there is a way as the church j 19 0 organist contended. When two of the , soc' keys gave out she hired Herb Y -ung I to come with his mouth organ and I ply those notes when they come In I ,, the music. I.

Newspaper writers should say much when they write, but do it,. \ In a few words. . The farmers In South Georgia are ' well nigh through gathering their p < crops and most of It Is sold and the ^ol proceeds applied, and I might add that, as a rule, this has been a pleas- <tv< ant and profitable year to the tillers of the soil. y I hope that In your county and , state, as well, the planters ran boast , of their Incomes and profits for 1913. Of all professions the farmers need sympathy and encouragement. j Your state (as I read the signs) : will have a hot political fight next i summer. The same thing may be said as regards political matters in Georgia.
