Weeds, water, mosquitoes—all thisl
means illness, health impairment,
heavy doctors bills, and—more
gravestones. Pure water to drink
gcreened homes, war on mosquiloes
in the high weeds, tall grass, tin
cans, pails, tubs, pots and mud holes
—this is the way to escape muen of
the human ills we suffer.
The sweet potatoeg, peas and
bteans are worth watching in the
summer that they may be gathered
in abundance for food crops in the
fall. They will be needed. Nothing
in the whole category is worth more
to the dairyman than the sweet po
tato. The hay crop should be made
large, stacked carefully or baled and
put away in the big barns that some
of the dairymen need. All that can
be saved in the form of feed for man
and beast i 8 a cash dividend on the
farm, 110 fellow who remembers
now and works while he can, will
have something ahead when the year
is gone—something to show for his
effort. ° '
The bus lines may be larger than
we can admit just at this time and
may some time need regulation, but
hanged if we can find ourseives will
ing to admit that they should have
gone under control of the lublic
Service Commission of Georgia. 'l‘h«-'
majority of that commission has l“"“!
belonged to the railvoads and public
gervice corporations of Georgia, umlij
80 we want to protest :iguin.«‘t a heel |
on the neck of the bus lines. That’s
exactly what public service vegula
tion would mean today. The bus
lines are a legitimate business and
do not deserve extermination be
cause they compete with the rail
voads.
Hereafter what Tammany doeg,
or fails to do, is not going to prove
poetic or romantic in the headlines
to us. What comes to us in the head
lines is so far {rom what Tammany
really is that the New York so-call
ed demoerat is still glippery and un
trustworthy. We can imagine any
thing about Tammany and come just
as near to the truth as the New York
newspaper comes. People in the
east who call themselves democrat:
have nothing in common with the
southern and western people. The
south and the west ought to enjoin
the east from running any sort of
aggregation they call democratic.
From Massachuseits to Maryland the
whole organization ought to be call
ed Tammany and so dealt with by
the remainder of the country.
The farmer who has forethought
enough to provide for hogg this fall
is to come in lucky at the end of the
year—or in the spring of next year.
There will be a good price prevail
ing. This will be a much better
price than prevailed through the fall
of last year and the spring af thi
year, The demand is going to show
ftse!f crone. The Georgia farmer
who has no hogs will still do well to
raige all he {eed he can gnd pur
chase the hogs later in *he fall, even
if they havc to come from the west

BOLTING THE TICKET
We hear a lot of grumbling
about the democratic ticket
nominated at New York. Some
are #oo sore over the final out
come that they are threatening
to vote the Republican ticket,
But we predict that after they
cool off and after the stump
gpeakers tell us how mean the
republicans are and ‘how pare
and honest «dhe democrats are
they will line up and vote ‘er
ctraight for Davis and Bryan.
In order to get rid of the theiv
ing republicans we can well af
ford to forge! that Mr, Davig is
a corporation lawyer represent
ing such concerns as the Stan
dard Oil Company, Morgan and
Company, etc., whose owners
we are told are hightone, patriot
ic gentlemen who have always
uvbeerved the laws of our coun
try. Those of us who object to
Mr. Davis on account of hig
professional connections can
console ourselves with the fact
that the vice presidential nom
inee is a brother of William
Jennings Bryan and a m:
is so progregsive he could easily
be classed as a socialist. Let's
quit grumbling ahout the ticket.
Let’s line up and make the vote !
in Georgia one hundred per cent 1
for democracy.—Sylvester Lo
cal. ' !
If we remember past expressions,i
this is from an editor who spent
gome time spraying oil upon the Me-
Adoo campaign in Georgia. He
shoutcd oil quite often., Now he has
to accept a J. P. Morgan attorney—
lie has to call Mr. Bryan a progres
sive who is so progressive that he is
dangerously near being a socialist.
All ths is advanced politics right
here in the realms of wire;:rafieé
Georgia where the cracker sallieg
forth without his fried shirt and full
dresg, rises in the morning at his
own hour and labors the full length
of his own appointed day, and settles
his problems in his own way without
fear of consequences. This is the
advanced politics of an over nice
appotite—one whoch could not take
Mr. McAdoo hecause of the gmell of
oil, bat now has to take Mr., Davig
with all his J. P. Morgan, Standm‘d‘
Oil, Kugene V. Debs attorneyships.
Isn't it awful, awful.
John W. Davis may not win, but
there is not a more capable citizon‘
in this entire country to gerve in the
white house. As a lawyer, if hoi
could not have served the big ones,
wo ould have ecalled him (‘ommun-i
place. We have lawyers who can .
take cave of land line. disputes, ful'(‘-‘
closures of mortgages on bankrupt
farmg. But Mr. Davis ranks al the
top—had a hold wupon affairs of
some forly conecerns, all of lhom‘
large ones. He is a big man—he
may be a big man’s man, for all we
know. But the fellow here at home
who loaded his pump gun and squirt
ed oil every time he thought he had
to take McAdoo, it seems to us ought
now to regt a while—at least, he
should be charitable to Davis.
The most pathetic post convention
mcmories are those which call us
back to the fight of the New York
World for Al Smith. The fellow
who knows about it will find it in
teresting to turn through the files
of that untrustworthy publication an
look at the pictures, the appealing
headlines, the phrasing of the ex
cited paragrapher, news writer, ed
itorial slugger. Oh, it is great to
stand on llu-l wrecks of the hopes
of that mighty newspaper and mark
the strategy, the political dishonesty,
trickery, emboldened misvepresenti
{ion infits battle during the conven
tion! Still fighting McAdoo, still
while McAdoo, so far as the outside
world knows, has never even appear
ed to know there was such a publi
cation as the New York World, 1t
seems never to have had time to
weep over the wreckage of s Al
Smith hopes. We know its fight
was waged from cne little window
in the business office—we know iis
policies are shaped for catching
nies—east side thug favor—west
side thug favor—anythng for New
York first. The :malie.® country
paper in America has its same in-
~ ASSAIL SOUTHERN WOMEN
The Atlanta Constitution, the Co
lumbus Enquirer-Sun The Macon
Telegraph and other Georgia papers
which in their attacks upon William
G. McAdoo informed New York and
the whole east coast that Georgia
was sending a hand-picked kluxer
delegation to the national democrat
ic convention must have chuckled
‘and snickered a satisfied, if muffled
laugh when they drew the following
from the eastern press:
“But the 400 klansmen stand like
a stone wall, and so long as they
stand he will hold the center of the
gtage. Not that he has contributed
nohing to their regolution. Far
from it, indeed, The fact is that he
has played upon their passions de
liberately and from the gstart, and
done his utmost to keep their hatred
aflame.
“Such highfallutin gabble is pre
cigely to the taste of the rural kluk
ers. They are all used to it. They
have been hearing it from their ap
pointed pastors for years, and now,
with the enemy visible before them,
they have put away every lingering
doubt of its truth.
“What is to be remembered here is
that a large num‘ber of these fanat
ics are women—that they constitute
a far larger proportion of the dele
gation than any other national con
veniion has ever seen, Amohg the
alternates especially there are many
of them, and as delegate after dele
galé goes home they increase both
relatively and absolutely on . the
floor.
“The fact only tends to augment
the bitterness of the strugglé., A
few of these women are young, good
looking and hence more or lesg hap
py and amiable, but the majorily are
dowdy and oxidized viragoes of the
sex hygiene ann foreign missions va
riety, and they carry into their holy
war upon the pope and his emissar
tea all the violent pa.ésion:; that in
ordinary timeg they lavish upon the
scarlet woman.
“Upon the prejudices and super
stitions of such monomaniacs Dr.
McAdoo has. been playing his elo
quence with great skill and elfect.
When -his line begins to waver, whicl;
happénu at leagt four times a day,
he doefn’t waste any time upon the
political devices ordinarily used in
such emergencies.
¢lnstead he sends for a gang of
the old women, harangues them on’
the machinations of the devil zmdj
sends them back to browbeat and ter- |
orvize the men. Such gides as Wil
liam Jennings Bryan are of greal
value to him here. Bryan standing
up before a crowd of any sophistica
tion, seems to be only a hollow old
montebank. But he knows how to
currycomb and alarm the hides as
sembled at a rural chautauqua, and
in particular he knowg how to stir
up the women.
“McAdoo has been plying the
Kluxers so assidiously with his con
spiracy gabble that many of them
actually tremble for their lives.
Every time the Tammany crowd in
the gallery lets off a whoop they
look for the grand assault at armis to
begin.”
The attack on Georgia women
contained in thig remarkable contri
bution to modern eastern journalism
appeared in the Baltimore Sun dur
ing the deadlock of the convention
4 a time when the press of the en
tire east was battering with great
strength against forces who so cool
ly and deliberately followed Mr. Me-
Adoo in every flurry of the storm.
For more than twenty years we
have followed journalism in thig
country. In that time we have never
seen such a deliberately malicious
attack on the womanhood of any sec
tion, let alone those in Georgia. Our
resentment shall not be measured *o
these unworthy writers in one blow

make them so, but by comparison a
Georgia born woman bears in her
face the full history of southern cul
ture and refinement. The easiest
thing at the New York convention
to a goutherner—one of this so-call
ed !gluxer delegation from Georgia
——was to point out a southern wom
an, a Georgia woman in a crowd of
a thousand of that comglomerate
melting pot of humanity. While this
very cu}prit was busy mallgning
Georgia women, we were busy ad
miring their superiority over all
others in culture and refinement, in
mtcllect and womanly bearing. It
