District Judge J. H. McLean
has published a court directory
of the thirty-third judicial dis-

this directory one finds all the
county officials of the several
counties belonging to the district
and a list of attorneys in these
several counties. Besides this in-

The members of the local Louis
Jordan Post, American Legion,
plan an all day celebration for
Armistice Day. It is but appro-
priate that we the citizens, all
of us, should extend to the boys
our hearty cooperation in making,
this event a grand success.
Armistice Day marked the close
of war activities in this last tre
me ndous struggle which killed
human beings by the millions.
Many of our boys were at the
front at that time, many a life
that would have been uselessly
murdered was saved by the sane
move of signing the armistice.
Whatever we think of the war
itself, of the peace terms, and of
the carrying out of these peace
terms, that is another chapter.
Notwithstanding this other chap-
ter, we all have sufficient reason
to be thankful for Armistice Day
which put an end to the cruel
carnage. Let us then be thankful
and join in the celebration of the
recurrence of this day.

Why are Northern and West-
ern land richer than Southern?
Largely because Northern soils
(1) suffer from washing in sum-
mer. and (2) have their fertility
locker up in winter. In frozen
soils the vegetable matter is not
decaying and nitrogen is not
leaching out.
On tin- other hand, with our
warm, open winters in the South,
the soil fertility is not locked
up. The leaching or draining off
of fertility goes on constantly.
The consequence is that our aver-

But there is an old proverb
that “the hair of the dog is good
for the bite." And this is pre-
ciscly the ease with regard to this
matter of the South’s winter cli-
mate and its relation to soil fer-
tility.
The warm, open winters do
cause our fertility’ to leach out
when w< have no cover crops on
the land, and therefore make us
lose as compared with the North-
ern farmer whose fertility is
locked up by freezes. But there
is another side of the picture.
All that the Northern farmer
can do in winter is to hold on to
fertility he has. On the other
hand, when we Southern farmers
put cover crops on our soils we
can not only hold the fertility
we already have—which is all
the Northern farmer can yl°—but
we can also greatly increase soil
fertility, which the Northern

publishes a complete statement of
receipts and expenses in the last
week’s issues of the county pa-
pers. This certainly is a practice
to be oommended. There is no-
thing to be lost in publishing the
financial situation of public in-
stitutions.
I have often wondered why it
is, we have so many laws, that
there is no law to compel public
school officials to submit to the
public at the end of given inter-
vals a statement of all receipts
and disbursements. How many
of the patrons of any public
school in this state know the
financial standing of their school?
Is this not an institution of which
they should know the financial
standing? I can not conceive
that it is anything but mere neg-
ligence on part of the school offi-
cials that such a statement is not
forthcoming. Such a statement
might lead to quite a little dis-
cussion, but the people who fur-
nish the taxes through which the
public school is supported cer-
tainly have a right to know how
this money is expended.
