1t is said that in the matter of
':umsing fires the little cigarette
gtump is more dangerous than lightn
ing. It causes more fire destruc
tion because it is more carelessly
thrown into dangerous places where
tires are started.
Albert Fall pleads not guilly in
connection with his alleged criminal
acts involving the leasing of the Tea
Pot Dome maval oil reserves to Sin
clair and others. That isn’t news,
but at the same time it will Le in
teresting to know the grounds on
which he ¢/ands when he claims in
nocence,
Making the laws so that they will
require heain ceitificates from ap
plicants for marriage license would
be a good thing if the law could be
enforced in good faith. FEvery child
has a right to fatherhood and
metherhod capable of sponsoring
verfect physical body, perfeet ment
al statas, and an even chance for
an existence. Diseased, depraved,
anbalanced, mental degenerates
wave no right to launch helpless lit
tle ones in this world, no matter
what they think about it. ;
No, the democrats have not ruined
any of their chances to win by dead
locking the New York convention
and remaining there through over
a hundred ballots. They have simp
ly chosen their party leaders in the
true democratic way-—theough a
fight, to be sure, but still in the un
bossed style. Please do not let any
body misiead you or cast any shad
swe. The party never had more
good fortune ithan in the naming of
its leaders as they are today. It was
a wize choice despite the prostest ot
various different people,
If you are kindly and willing to
play yon: part as a true fellow, you
will no: kick down all the back
fence because the views expressed in
these columns ar not your views.
This iz the work, the thought, of on
ly one person, If it doesn't suit
you, there is nothing to prevent
your saying so in this very page 50
long as you protest in such manner
as to deserve a hearing. This pup.
does not seck to control your think
ing, nor does it howl because you in
dicatc that you hold diffcrent views.
Say so when you pleasze to ditfer.
If it comes in the right spirit it will
be so received.
The claim among eastern and
northern papers is that few negroes
c¢ver return south, once they g
away and get a good foothold. So
far as we are concerned, we are wil
ling for the negro to go where he
can do better for himse!f. We have
a humane intevest in his welfare, notl
an apologetic interest. We would
not expiain to the north and ihe
east. Let the negro go and hew him
out a place where lle may make a
living. The nor.h and the east @e
him as much room to work and hve
as the south owes, 4nd when he be
comes a country wide citizen, ‘hen
his problems will become the na
tion’s problems. Certainly, it will
lighten the =outh’s problem in ne
ger uplift when he shoulders h'm
self on the north and the east. We
. want him to go to these zections and
*we wish him well.
AS TO MISREPRESENTATION
From press accounts, we are
constrained to believe that a
large number f the Georgia
delegates to the democratic i
convention do not really kmow
what they are doing-—or else
{hey are misrepresenting ithe
majority of the people~Tif
ton (dzette,
Being handpicked by the po
litical and the Ku Klux bosses,
we have never understood that
they were to represent the peo- :
ple of Georgia. Our under
standing ic that they were pick
od to represent only ihie faction
controlled by Messrs Randolph
and Bell who carefally hand
picked and tagged them before
they left the borders of dear ?
old Georgia,—Sylvester Local.
The only real misrepresentation
that has appeared with regard fo
the Georgia delegation in the New
York Conveation has come from the
hostile press here at home and in
New York, the latter heing instigat-|
ed hy the enemies of McAdoo and
his friends in Georgia, |
The meanest thmg in a century
is the unwillingness of thesze enemies
in politics to accept the will of the
majority as expressed at the ballot
box. They are still hounding those
who went to New York to do their
part in the McAdoo fight for nomi
nation of their leader. Their only
offense is that,
As to the kian, there was an in
cipnificant representation—lless
Klanement than Masons, less klans
men than Baptists, less klansmen
than Methodists, less klansmen on
the delegation- than shriners, less
klanzmen than noble Georgia wo
men who stood by their colors for
veasos worthy of them. That’s how
much the k'an influenced the Geor
gia delegation. '
And then we might say what we
think about Randolph and Bell. As
we know them, we had as soon trust
them with McAdoo's campaign, the
naming of his representative on the
delegation, as to have trusted it to
any of those who are sneering al
them. We have seen nothing in
them to justify slinging spoi]qd egEs
at them, There isn’t vm\ything:‘
wrong except a ecase of sour grapes
—and a bad resultant attack of in
digestion for those who championed
Underwood and were beaten.
At some stape—somewhere in the
battle for democratic supremacy—
this kind of billious bullying and
misrepresentation ought to stop. It
i unusual for one to -get indiges
tion and remain under its influence
so very long,
OUR PAVING PROGRESS
Have you had a ride on the paving
on the National? A spin over the
mile which is completed is bat =2
taste of what we are (o have
throughout the county, we hope
within a short time. The county
commissioners and the county forees
under the superintendent ave losing
no time in completing their w(;‘l\.
It is well under way north of Cor
dele and this span will be fimished
within a month or six weeks.
The highway south of Cordele will
then be taken ap and the paving will
be carried to completion. The pros
pect of early completion—comple
tion within twelve months—now
looks very promising. The work is
being pushed at normal expense and
the roadbed is being left in excel-
Int shape. The cufinl_v forces under
Superintendent Cox ave studying
their work with a great deal of care.
They are layng the gravel sarface
under supervision ol government
cngincers and leaving their job an
execllent one, one must concede
when the work is examined.
Th s pavirg is being done under a
tifty-li% y program—the county do
ing the work while the state depart
mers furnithes the material. This
is a pay-as-you-go schedule and
when the job is completed, its ecost
will have been met. Crisp county
wiil have a quarter million dollar job
completed the largest single perma
nent building program _ever under
4iken in the county.
This county has a much larger
btend issue for roads voted and thse
Londs validated, but it is extremely
dout fal if these will ever be needed
for highway purposes since the pre
sent program is making it unneces
sary to issue bonds, The county
road forces are doing the work, This
will be expensive, but not to any
surprisingly large degree because
the work of the county is heing so
arranged on the roads as to permiC
the completion of the paving with a
small force. ]
CHILD LABOR LEGISLATION
We have no time to reason with
those who are fighting chiid labor
legizlation in Georgia, On general
principles we believe in the federal
amendment and we Leliéve Geor
gia members of the legislature who
have opposed the ratification of this
amendment to the constitution simp
ly are standing between childhiood
and its righ's to a fair start in the
world. The man who so bitterly op
poses regulation of child labhor pos
sibly has too little acquaaintance
chip with the pale-faced little fel
lows who are carning a living for
worthless old daddies in many, many
cotton mill distriets, Their little
lives are ‘whirled into a slavery
worse than death in far too many
mill districts. And as for that mat
ter, they are used on the farms when
they ought to be in the schools.
Restrictions thrown arvound them
that will give them a chance in life
ought not to be a something of the
hazy future, It ought to be done to
day, and we write this fully awave
of the fact ihat some cold-hearted,
uneerupulous, iron-fisted slave deal
et will see it and call us fanatical in
stead of humane. i :
LAW AND LIFE
A law requiring motor vehicles to
come to a full stop at rail croszings
would in most caces where the rail
roads could prove failure to stop,
velieve them from paying damages
to (he relatives of those injured and
killed in crossing accidents. That’s
the only thing to be had in such a
law that is not already poasible to
have.
Legislation will not halt a car at
a rail crossing when the saving of
human life does not. There is no
line of argument that will appeal
Anoresthan human life itself. . Pri
<one, long terms behind the bars,
se vice on the roads—all the legal
punishment that could be listed in
the category of the language pales
in the light of s'alking death.
A man who will flirt with death
in front of a locomotive at a rail
crossing caves for no measure bhe
tween the covers of a Georgia law
book. And if we have a law requir
ing a full (lop at crossings, we will
have so little vespect for it that
those who take the time and the
{rouble to list this with the hundreds
of thousands of other laws we forget
and ignove daily, will be the only
persons swindled.
The rail crossing appeal—the on
ly strong appeal—is the saving of
human life, the danger of death
when one risks a gambler’s chance
to cross ahead of airain. Regardless
of all laws, such gamblers lose some
times—will continue to lose!
THE GEORGIA DELEGATION
Atlanta Jouinai:
lor their unswerving loyalty to Wil
liam QGibbs McAdoo and the ideals of
government for which he stands, the
members of Georgin’s delegation to
the DNeémoeratic National Convention
have the State’s profoundest resnect
and heartiest esteem. Challenged by
reactionary, un-American and = anti--
Georgian forces, they have fought a
good fight and kept the faith. Amid
all manner of trials they have been
patient; in the face of repeated in
sults they have been self-con
trolled: under the utmost fire that
a ruthless oprosition could bring to
bear. thee have stood unfalteringly
“rue.
How the rank and file of their fel
low Geoigians regard thein is attest
ed by the instant response to The
Jouwrnal's appeal for a “defense

exhaustion from ‘the long and ex
pensive sojourn in New York City.
\ccomapnying many of the contribu--
tions are letters of glowing tribute.
For instance: “'We must stand be
hind them, for the fight is ours as
much as theirs . . . a heroic fight in
accordance with the will of Georgia
Democracy.’’ ‘‘Let them uaderstand
in New York that Georgia will not

mit them to be either bulldozed or

starved out,’’ “Tell ’em to stay till
they nomindte McAdoo, even if they
have to stay till (Christmas.” So runs
the streansof admiring comment and
cheering exhortation. No group of
(leorgians ever earned heartier praise
than the men and women composing
this big-handed delegation, for none
ever gerved more devotedly,

Tifton “Gazette: 5
For a good many years buyers from
the West have bought up light hogs
ir the South and shipped them into
the West, where they were fed out
and sold as Western cornfed hogs.
Indications are that this process may
be reversed for the present season.
Reports from the West are that sea
sons have been u nfavorable for food
crops and prospects are that a short
crop will be harvested. In the South
the prospects are almost reversed—
indications point to a fine harvest of
feed crops.
County Agent Derbyshire of Col
quitt, who is a native of lowa, a big
hog rroducing state, has sucgested
to the farmers of that county an
vasy means of getting back into the
hog production Yusiness on a scale
that will amount to something. He
