Ford employees are goon to partic-i
"'pate in the distribution of nine mil-l
lion dollars in bonus money and in
terest on stock holdings. This isl
! good reading in days of idle workers.
There is a wife fasting up in l)un-i
ville, 111., till her husband embraces
véligion—and he doesn’t seem to bhe
in a hurry to meet her hunger strike
with any sincerity of purpose. ]~‘or
iy one days are gone and he ig still
ab firmily resolved not to yield ag is
the wife. At least one person here
is as foolish as was a certain man
named MacSwiney.
' News comes again that the Sinn
_Fein were guilty of having sought
Gérman assistance during 1916 in a
rebellion in Ireland at a time when
Epgland stood in gore need of Irish
Bupport in the defenge of Europe
against the Germans. An Irish army
in Flanders on the side o fthe allies
"might have been a more befitting
Irish tribute to civilization. It would
read bhetter for the Isle of Old Eria
in history. |
The republicang have cut off the
million and a quarter appropriation
‘which was asked for the air mail
gervice for the next year. This in
dicates they intend to stick close to
the earth with the mails. But they
have a handsome increase in postal
appropriations and ought therewith
to have an easy time providing pos
tal improvements for their adminis
tration,
Senators Underwood and Lenroot
gtarred in the scrap over the Muscle
Shoals nitrate plant in the senate
when the former presented an amend
ment in which he sought to save the
Wilson Dam by including in the ap
propriation for the year the ten mil
lion dollars with which the govern
ment should complete the plant.
Farmers and democrats of the south
will largely benefit by this plant if
it is saved. They qught to be fight
ing for it—if fighting for it will save
it.
A FARMING PROGRAM.
The state (rolleg;e of agriculture
has given out a program for the year
in farming which ought to be closely
studied by every farmer in our coun
ty. It is of vital interest to every
man who has an interest in a farm.
The essentials are the reduction
of the cotton crop to one-third; the
making of all food and feed crops
which are required to take care of
all the people and all the animals on
the farm; the establishment of co
operative marketing plans in all com
munities for the purpose of having
salable farm products prepared in
uniform manner for market and sold
at the best prices.
This program ag offered by the col
lege indicates very clearly how we
have fallen short of producing the
food and feed crops which ahe re
quired to take care of Georgia.
We believe we can produce the
food stuff that will meet the need o!
Georgians Dbecause we Kknow well
what they want. We hollave we can
learn praparation for morket and we
believe that with the proper effort
one farmer can find where another
needs his surplus. We know that all
our farmers put together in a busi
ness determination to prepare their
surplus food and feed for muarket
;'can_prepare it so that Georgia's sur:
]plus needs can be met at home.
Our farmers are always arguing
that the newspapers suggest things
they cannot do—that are not practi
cal. Let them use their surplus cot
ton acreage producing the needs of
food and feed stuff in Georgia for
1921, Let them prepare it for max
ket and then let it go at market
prices, They will see whether it is
possible to sell their surplus stocks
to meet Georgia’s needs. In this
manner they will put their cotton
crop all in the surplus class and
therefore make it an all-cash crop.
That is possible and if realized, would
put Georgia far ahead of herself in
the coming fall.
Why not take up thig program and
try to follow it? Your farm schedule
should be made to conform, whether‘
vour neighbor tries to conform or
not. It is your own financial condi
tion in the fall you are trying to im-:
prove and that is why you are con
cerned. ‘
This intensely practical program
briefly told follow:;; three princlples.!
1 The planting of only one-thirdl
of the cultivated acreage of Georgiu
farms in cotton.
2 The production at home of all
the supplies needed for the suste
‘nance of the human and live stock
population of Georgia.
3 The organization in every com
munity of cooperative marketing ar
rangements, and the careful prepara
tion of food and feed crops for com
mercial handling.
The program shows the following
facts with regard to the food supplies
needed in Georgia.
That each farm in Georgia should
produce an average of 322 bushelg of
corn, as against 224 in 1920, to feed
the state.
That ecach farm in Georgia should
produce ? 1-2 tons of velvet pears, as
against one ton 1 1920 to feed the
state.
That each farm in Georgia should
produce 24 bushels of wheat, as
against eight bushels in 1920, to feed
the state.
That each farm should produce 50
bushels of oats, as against 34 bushels
it 1920,
That each farm in Georgia should
produce 2.9 tons of hay, as against
two tons in 1920.
That each farm in Georagia should
produce €0 bushels of sweet potatces
as against 44 hushels ‘n 1320.
That each farm in Georgia should
produce 48 bushels of peanuts as
against ‘ve bushels in 1920.
That each farm in Georgia should
produce 12 bushels of Irish potatoes
against "ve bushelg in 1920.
That each farm in Georgia should
produce 833 dozen eggs as against
103 in 1920,
When this is done with a fairly
good production of pork, beef and
other products, and when each farm
produces its own vegetables, milk,
butter and fruit, Georgia will live at
home and her cotton crop will be 2
clean surplus over and above what
she consumes. \
‘AT LOWEST EBB.
President Harding of the Federal
Reserve system says the worst has
gone and the country is safe from
further depression. He looks for re
lief in our foreign trade improvement
We do not—candidly do not. For
eign trade of the United States was
never in a worse state, not since we
could remember.
Our participation in the world war
made us a name among nationg un
like we had enjoyed in all our histo
rv. We came away from the peace
table without manifesting a single
desire to grab territory and get away
with it. We did not even have 2
mandate over any of the territory
taken from the conquesred mations.
We were still sate whew the Versail
les treaty was signed wiith Germany.
But soon after we set out to rat
ify, the fireworks starteds From that
time wrangling in the United States
senate over the treaty waused this
country to begin to lose favor with
the rest of the world and one start
ling disappoimtment after another
has driven the nations of the world
from that friemdliness which could
only mean an iacreased trade balance
in our favor, o
All over the world our exchang”
‘rates have litterally closed the doors
against us. In Europe, -in South
America, in all foreign portg it is the
one story. People who have heen
accustomed to dealing with us have
tired of the too great difference in
the value of the American dcllar as
compared with their morey. This
has worked havoc far more than will
those who are responsible for it ever
admit, We do not know just how
that might have bheen prevented, but
the fact that the ratio of difference is
this minute greater than it has ever
‘heen before in the history of ‘.ade in
Brazil alone has caused on 2 heat af
ter another of Brazilian trade excite
ment and the bankers and trust
concerns are catching it. Brazilian
trade is being driven from American
control ang it will go to stay. The
causes thus separating us cannot be
forgotten so easily. In times of such
stress as has followed the war peo
ple can toop easily assume that we
are taking trade advantages which
we could avoid.
The head of the American federal
reserve system ig looking for our
foreign trade to improve. He is just
saying that to make the disappointed
American interests feel better. It is
hard for us to believe he is sincere in
what he ig saying with regard to im
provement in American foreign trade.
We are thinking of the tariff wall
which the republicans are setting Ip.
Even a foreign fisherman cannot sell
his wares in this country. And an
American fisherman will not be hene
fitted by it. The trusts holding the
canneries will enjoy the ‘increases
and the consuming American public
will pay the price. That’s how far
business will benefit by foreign trade
which is not coming.
The political swell heads who won
the recent republican victories need
some agency of deflation to bring
them to their senses. What the
world is doing to our foreign trade
will be awful to comprehend ag a
fighting weapon. When we credit
Eurcpe and South American and
other foreign peoples with going hard
and fast asleep over our business re
lations with them, we are about the
only people fooled. They are watch
ing us. :
We have a business revival on the
way, but our foreign trade is not go
ing to augment it. The day of
flourishing foreign trade ig gone for
many reasons and the Amenican at
titude has cost us what we are losing.
When Senator Penrose set out with
the new republican whip in his hand
he promised to go slow with the
emergency tariff, but he has fallen
in and so far as it appears now there
is mothing to put gn the brakes. We
will pay handsomely in loss of for
eign trade and in high prices to the
consumer at home. This is gloomy
but true. : \ é :
AFTER ALL, WHY BE SAD?
From Columbus Enquirer-Sun:
Just two months in advance of his
entry into the United States senate
the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, by the
grace of God, or otherwise, as you
prefer, Georgia’s senator-elect, takes
hig esteemed ally, the Atlanta Con
stitution—instead of the Atlanta
Georgian—inty hig confidence and, in
a “copyrighted” interview, author
ized it to serve due notice on the pub
lic of what he proposes to do, in the
way of a little off-hand legislation,
when he gets there. And here is a
part of his copyrighted, name-blown
in-the-bottle pregram, as rather care
fully epitomized—through fear of in
fringing on the *“copyright:”
1--Bill to make all Liberty Bonds.
Victory bonds, War Saving stamps,
etc., etc., legal tender.
2—Amendment to require all reg
ional banks to loan direct to farm
ers on approved security at 5 per
cent interest, and no more.
3—Amendment making it manda
tory upon such banks to accept the
paper of factors dealing in staple
products, the same as paper of mem
ber banks is now accepted.
4—Amendment requiring all such
banks to accept cotton, grain, tobac
co and other staple crop receipts as
security for loans; stick in your re:
ceipt and draw out the cash.
s—Bill requiring reserve banks to
loan direct upon Liberty bonds and
other govm‘fiment obligations at 90
percent of face value; now selling in
the open market around 83 or 84.
6—Amendment requiring farm loan
THE GORDELE DISPATCH
beatks 10 quake léams . direct to far
merg without the endorsement of
nine other farmers, as at present,
7—Joint resolution requiring the
treasury to issue $102,000,000 of
greenbacks; as authorized by an act
of congress during President Lin
coln’s administration; a sixty{year
old war measure revived right on the
reel,
So much for our senatorelect’s
financial program; which, in the
event it ig enacted into law—though,
of course, there is no chance of that
—would seem to make everything
easy and lovely; that is to say, mon
ey plentiful and credit for the asking
Then, after getting all that fixed
up—in his mind—Georgia’'s senator
elect takes a little whirl with inter
national affaire, and, among other
things, offers these:
Resolution ending the war with
Germany.
Resolution, or something, demand
ing that France forthwith inform
Germany of the amount and terms of
the’idemnity to be exacted of her.
Resolution, or something, restoring
trade relations with Bolshevik Rus
sia and Germany.
Bill to restrict immigration for a
period of years and enforcing it in
Europe, instead of Ellis Island.
Incidentally, a bill to cut-down the
country’s standing army to the low
est practicable minimum—the lower
the better.
A rather ambitious program, as all
must agree, for one United States
senator to undertake to put into ef
fect at the very outset of his term.
But, as ambitious as it is, it may be
a mere curtain raiser, after all; for
there is even more in the man than
that, as we in Georgia well know.
However, it will all give him some:
thing to do while warming-up for
some real statesmanship and keep
his mind off of other things of great
er or less moment for the time being.
It will, also, add something to the
gayety of the senate; and heaven
knows, that august body has been
altogether too heavy all along.
What with ex-senator Billy Mason,
now in the house, introducing reso
lutions for the recognition of Ireland,
or words to that effect, and with ex-
Congressman Tom Watson, soon to
be in the g<2nate, getting the coun
tr.y'r: finances straightened out—by
way of adding some twenty billions
of dollars, or-more, to our circulatiny
medium—we can see no reason why
either of these more or less august
bodieg should be in for a dull tinwe
for quite a spell; while the dear old
public may be able to forget some
of its real troubles in the contem
plation of how easy it is to make two
or more blades of money grow where
only one, or less, grew before; to say
nothing of how simple it ig to free
Ireland by joint resolutions offered
solely for home consumption. ‘
Altogether we are constrained to
think that the year 1921, from thei
standpoint of national legislation an-}
ties at least, has some bright spot'xl
in it. And, as is evident, Georgia is
going to contribute her full part, and'
maybe a little bit more, to the gay
ety of the nation during these troub
lous times.
REVEAL CAUSE OF LYNCHING
Talbotton, Ga., Jan. 9.—lt has now
developed that the negro, Sam Wil
liams, who was lynched near Wood
land, in this county, cne day last
week had committee and assult on a
voung white girl in the upper part
of the county. The affair had been
keep quite secret for the sake of the
girl and her family, but has finally
leaked out as an explanation of the
death of the mnegro. The names ci
the parties by whose hands the neg
ro came to his death are still un
known.
Black-Draught, Long im Successful
Use, Praised lz,an Arkansas
Mother, “Soon Does
Its Work.”
Marmaduke, Ark.—Speaking of
Thedford’s Black-Draught, which from
iong use in her household has become
regarded as ‘“the family medicine,”
Mrs. Mary E. Hill, of Route 1, this
place, says:
“When the children get bilious, I
give them a couple of good doses, and
when we have sour stomach, headache,
or any liver or stomach trouble, we
use Black-Draught. It is an easy laxa
tive, and sopn does the work. I cer
tainly think it is one of the best rem
edies made.”
Black-Draught acts on the Jjaded
liver, gently, but positively, and helps
it in its important function of throw
ing out waste materials and’ poisons
from the system.
In thousands of households Black-
Draught is kept handy for immediate
use in time of need. Prompt treatment
often is half the battle, and will often
prevent slight ills from developing in
to serious troubles.
Its well-established merit, during
more than 70 years of successful use,
should convince you of the helpful
effects obtainable by taking Black-
Draught for liver and stomach dis
orders. ' Get a package today, and
keep it in your house. See that
the package bears the ¢ words,‘
“Thedford’s Black-Draught.” " NC-141

LITTLE WANT AD
You seldom think of the far reaching power of a want ad
vertisement. You can do more than sell a house or a farm, or
rent rooms with one. You can operate a paying business and
pile up greater cash returns on a single want ad if you have an
article of- merchandise somebody wants. These always cost so
little that anybody can use them and pay for them and never
miss the money. X
Want advertisements are wonderful results getters. If you
have anything you want to dispose of, you ought not to forget
that a Dispatch Want Ad will twrn the trick. Suppose you mark
it down somewhere in your New Year’s diary so as not to forget
the want ad columns next time you want to sell something. The
Dispatch goes into the home and up by the firesides. The whole
family reads it. If it is in a fant ad and in the Dispateh, they
seeit. Don’t you worry. Call telephone 80 and get one going.
