We are pleased at the refusal of the state legislature thus far to break up the state highway system and distribute the funds to the coun ties. We hope the system will stand against further assaults. “ We hope the report that is out to . the effect that the legislature has no pymathy with the governor’s pro gram of retrenchment is erroneous, Somebody somewhere some time must fall in linie and help. The governor eannot do this " alone. Georgiang have their eye:j on the legislature this fime. A poor accounting will have its effect back home. ' Some of the soldiers are outspok en in their desire to pass the cosh bonus so that in future years the government may pay the way of those who have become disabled. There will be a day of need for plany of them—a greater day of need than the present. We hope the government will now and always Rake care of these men when he Yeaches a state in health where he ‘cannot earn his own living. 7 'All' of the republicans who hate so fmuch to hear the name of the league “bf nations mentioned, also get red #icaded when somebooy representing the league reminds them that they whould ‘come in at the front door H7ith their disarmament proposition Reublican disarmament movements in, this country. are begi#aing to amuse those who have charge of this ‘work in the league councils. THE WRONG WAY TO IT. There is no objection to hav ing the Bible read in the gchools of the State, though it will not do much good unless the children are taught a few of its precepts at home.—Valdosta Times. We are tempted to say often that the greatest evil of this age is the tendency of sensible people to the be lief that they can legislate morals into a person, If the reading of the Bible in the public schools should lead one poor parent to the mistaken piew that such a reading was enough for his children, then the whole law would be a pernicious, foolish piece of business. And unquestionably it vill cause some to think their chil dren are getting so much of the Bible that it is not necessary to stick clese to it at home. Our lack of interest in Bible read ang is today rasponsible for many of our ills. It will remain a cause of wickedness so long as the Bible is pot made the handbook of morals for the child, the boy and the girl, and the grown-ups. We do not doubt Bhat the scriptures and prayer mark Fhre opening of every worth while #chool in Georgia already. What can come of writing it into the statute: #3 a requirement—a law? There is a certain notoriety for the author of the bill and a long protest sure to follow. That is all anybody can see In it, How would you like for this same bunch in the legislature to pass a law requiring you to attend Sunday ‘School in the morhing or at a cer tain’ hour in the afternoon, or pos sibly at both! Would you set up a howl? We shguld say so, and it would be done even by those who go to Sunday School. They would have a just cause. The idea of legislat ing people into a state of sinless ness is foolish at the start. It cannot be done. And besides, this is coming too dangerously near to ticing up the ‘state and the church, If we are go ‘ing into the schools with the Bible, we might leave off the Sunday |School. That would be better than '|leaving off the home study of the €ireat Book. Oftentimes we see 2a great revival into which all the churches have thrown their power ‘eand influence, From such a revivay they pick off the converts and send | them to the church of their choice. sVhy not go into the common schools |#nd there finish the child’s raligious ‘]rducation and shape his future, pending him to the church of his choice? If we lay aside everything ‘elge and stuff him all the day with a% religious program, his digestion will become over taxed and he will lose eground. The church.is the place to present the gospel to mankind—at Jeast, it is the organ through which it is best presented, not the state schoo!l evstem. The poor fellow who believes he has done humanity a ser gice by getting a law spread on the statute books of the state requiring the Bible in the public schools | chould find out that there is a dif ference between legislating good ness into people and bringing them 'to it through individual responsibil ;‘:it_v and initiative. IT’SS A COMMUNITY AFFAIR If people had the gift of song as generally and naturally as do birds, life would indeed be “one sweet song.” Cordele ond Syl vester each had a three day singing convention (recen\.ly. Community singing encourages optimism no doubt, and culti vates good fellowship and like wise that which we all seck after— happiness.— Talhotton New Era. The gift of song is a fine thing, and no one will urge any objec tion to it, but there are people in the world who imagine they have this gift when they have not, and anyonz who has lived in the neighborhood with one of this kind, naturaliy weakens a little, along about midnight, in his love for “song.”—Columbus Enquirer Sun, The first expression here indicates that the writer knows what we have in these community events with din ner on the ground. The comment of Editor Loyless would indicate that, although he is a Georgian and right on the ground, he does not know all that could he written about such pleasant occasions. These all day singers are not noisy till they get together and when thev sing it is a day affair—2ll day. Wo have never heard one of them trying t alone as if aspiring to get ahead of the others. They seem to under stand that singing is fine when every body sings. And it is. We may have described occasions with frills and said more than events: would justify, but in this case we cannot express in a plain newspaper account of it the enjoyment that veems to eminate from the commu- Rity singing like that the people here have now made ‘a custom. It aids the church services, It makes the Bible classes in the Sunday Schools larger. It provides a delightful up lifting diversion that is splendidly fitted for observing Sunday. We wicsh we could tell everybody everywhere how much there is in the community singing schedule here. It is a fixed institution. A three-day singing convention is not én unusual affair. The last we had ¥ith dinnep on the ground, the oec casion to wlhich the Talbotton paper wefers, is the county singine conven. tion which holds its annu2l ocea- Siens in the summer. It brings good singers, song writers and real com- Posers many miles to attend. Our own local singers keep up class and church enthusiasm with this same good music, The singing is as much a part of the Sundav program as anything else and stress is laid on the good music. Our good friends over at Columbus would find himself unwilling to miss the Sunday School were it possible for him to fall in with a large clesy of good men singers—hut he may attend al ready. The larger cities could get Just as much out of these occasions as do the smaller communities—at least, we helieve it strongly enough that we are willing to suggest it. IT WILL COME BACK Speaking of the recent me teoric visitor to that section The Cordele Dispatch says— “ Some twenty-five years or more ago, a great meteor hit in north Georgia. It was easily lo cated by those who were watch ing. It was still red-hot when approached, and remained in tensely hot for many days. It is still there, a mere stone, ap parently, weighing many tons, who knows but that this was a baby world which lost its course and thus ended its many mil lions of years of processof for mation?" Yes, who knows; if there he one who does let him sell the world, for the world would like to know more about meteors, es pecially - gince ~recently some scientific fellow out in Califor nia ’lowed that the I%lson)we have been having such hot weather this summer was be cause showers of meteors had been falling on the sun.—Colum bus Enquirer Sun. Here is a written statement which we made on the word of somebody who was talking about mecteors after the fright of April 20, this year, We {io not know that it is true—have nc rcecount of this one in the encyclo pedias which discuss meteors at ‘length. There are plenty of speci ‘mens, some of them on display, that meet all the detail of this descrip fion. But beware of your words, writ ten or spoken. They wiil come back to you. | LET HIM PLAY FAIR, | ~ An effort is being made to have l Senator Watson move his news \ paper office from the U, S. Sen- } | ate building at Washinipn., . While Senator Watson and his paper are one and the same. each going where the other goes, we are inclined to believe that it would be better if he would have a separate pl2ce for his newspaper workers, Tom would kick like a mule if “Father” O’Rairity, or some of the othor priests were to set up a news paper office in one of the public buildings in Washington.—Val dosta Times. ; And let us not forget that Tom pnd Tom’s paper represent anti-‘ L atholicism. His paper, therefore, while championing . and defendinz “the dear peepul” is in truth repre [senting only that portion of them | which follow Our Tom. It could do !little good for those who happen to belong to the Catholic faitr and other creeds or political groups which do not depend on Our Tom for leader: fhip. + The United States senate building fvas not erected for the purpose of foroviding 'a space for the Columbia Sentinel and room for Tom Watson to do his cussing, It was built with ;lublic money for public use. But Lthen Our Tom is big enough and right enough in his ideas not to be questioned or challenged for editine his political sheet in the senate build ing.

From Atlanta Constitution: Well, it won’'t be long before doctors tell us how to prolong life _for many years. I have a friend who is 97 years old, and he goes down to his bank in New York thrée times a week.—John D. Rockefeller, on his fighty' se cond birthday. it developed that the “friend” re ferred to is John A. Stewart, chair man of the board of trustees of the United States Trust company, one of tne largest iinancigl institutions in‘ America, and that instead of 97, as Mr. Rockefelleow said, he is 99 or will be on the 26th qay of August. ‘¢ Tt is said the almost century-old bankér not only appears at his desk | on board days each neek, and presidos over the meetings, with the same acute financial acumen that he did fifty' years ago, for he has hsen at the heaq of the bank since 1870, but that he takes an active part in the adminis tration of the bank’s affairs, and per gonally says the yea or nay to every groat financial problem that is brought hefore the institution. Mr. Stewart is perhaps the patri arch of the banking fraternity in America, for the dispatches say he en tered the banking business when a lad in his teens, and has been con nezted with the one institution for “over seventy years.” In the passing of the generations, through financial storms and sun shine; through trying days of recon struction from colonial days to those of a free republic; through the ordeals of three wars; the inflations of war time “prosperity,” and the deflations of post-war rehabilitations; through political panics and the smooth sail ings of restored normalcy—this re markable man has kept sober, kept working and kept smiling. And these attributes, a clear mind, an industrious habit, and an unruffled temper, are responsitte for one life of usefulness that almost measures the combined lives of any two average business men of this day and time. The lesson is a worthy one—strive to do one’s bhest; and in striving smile and keep happy. v NEW Tenderloin Steak per b 250 Sirloin Steak, per lb ......25C Round Steak, per lb .....25c Pork Chops, per 1b .......25¢c Pork Ham, per 1b ..........25¢ Pork Roast, per 1b ......... 25¢ Roast Beet per 1b ...20c & 25¢ Stew Beef per 1b .......... 15¢c Let us have your next order, we will appreciate it and do our best to send choice cuts and full value. i PHONE 316 R.
