STRAINING, THOUGH
" Jacksonville’s “bathing beau
ties’’ will not be allowed to pa
rade on Macon streets. There is
net enough room for themy and
the Macon “heauts’’ at the 1
same time-—Valodsta Times |
But that’s a certain tyje of struin-i
frg at a gnat, thoueh, as we see it
Yor example, the first cheap i
troupe of chorus girls that come {
rfouth this winter will hit it
gtraight for Macon and show
more or less all of their—sea
beaches. The Jacksonville misses
are advertising their town. The
Macon mayor's order is more or
less in restraint of trade.

ON PAYING DEBTS
Pay what y;m owe out of the
money ‘you get for your farm
products, This advice is not in an
unfriendly, dictatorial or meddle
gsome spii., but because it s
best for all concerned. The farm-,
er who sells his products for cash
and spends the money for some
thing unnecessary for the wel
fare of himself or family, and
pays nothing to his creditors will
deserve no credit consideration
next year nor in the future. Let
everybody pay debts as far as
their money will go, after provid
ing for - their families—Pearson
Tribune. l
Here is a considerate appeal which
should not offend. It strikes every
body and helps everybody. The past
spring was one of the most pathetic
we have seen in years in that it was
the actual arrival of a time when
many a good farmer could not find a
dollar on which to run his farm
through to gathering time. He owed
debts which he had not paid. Borrow
ing more was a hard thing to do.
'While there is something with which
the debt can be reduced, that should
be the first move, for credit is a
mighty good thing. No person who
does not pay is entitle® To it—should
have it. No credit business in all the
world is possible without a paying
season, We have ours. To deserve
credit netx year, we should reduce
this year—mnot in poor spirit, but in
good faith.
: HE OUWGHT TO HAVE IT
; Governor Clifford Walker has
appealed for the everlasting
teamwork of every bloomin’
soul during his mnext three
: yvears as governor, It is all for
the uvpbuilding of our state and
the peorle should not hesitate
to lend a helping hand—Cairo
Messenger.
And now that politics has been
adjourned in the matter fo putting
an opponent on the governor's heels
we believe the people of the state
will give him that support which
it will take to put the state’s busi
ness in presentable condition. We
think he will do it if he has a rea
sonable backing. There wiill be
much in the type of legislators who
goes back to the next session—
much that will tell whether Georgia
is to move forward in any marked
degree in the second term of Gov
ernor Walker, .
l OUR MEAT SUPPLIES
. If, as has becen stated, Geor
’ gia is importing each year §2O
- worth of meats, it is time
~ we are looking into the matter
of increzsed meat. production.
Georgia is supposed to he an ag
ricultural smie, but no state
where the principal industry is
férming will ever reach a stage
of permanent prosperity while
buying meat in such huge quan
tities from other states, This
$20,000,000 should be going into
the pockets of Georgia farmers
every year—Tifion Gazette
Sounds¢ large compared with our
returns from the tobacco crop, does
it not? While six millions come in
cne ltmp for one crop, twenty go
out for meat. We are not pessi
mistic. Hogs brought necthing the
‘rast year. It was cheaper -—and
wiser, (it so happens—to take
chnnces‘ on tobacco and leave off the
Llmgfl.
"\ut the demand hag forced a bet
ter 'ptk',e. The farmer who has hogs
to offer in the spring of next year—
we make the guess—wliil get a good
‘ln‘ice for them. They already have
!Lhe market punched upward, Tt will
continue till the farmers grow more
meat. What we must practice more
is the curing of more meats on the
farms so that the meat cart bhe sold
211 along through the year as needed.
That’s the way to reach the cus
temer. who buys the twenty million
dollars worth,
WHEN WILL THIS 8TOP?
The Georgia legislature has
passed a law making it a mis
demeanor to cut dogwood or
mistletoe from land belonging
to another. That law ought to
put a stop to the de®poliation of
ovr beautiful floral scenery in
early springtime —Valdosta
! Times 5
i Every year some freak gets into
‘tlm general assembly with a hurry
%up measure, absolutely assured that
‘when he puts it over and gets the
signature of the chief executive, the
whole trouble will cease, Here is one
of the best examples of this folly.
The author of this bill doubtless
ceunts himself a statesman,
Well, he isn’t for this bit of poor
foresight into human nature a
statesman, It might seem cruel in us
to write this with the risk that he
will see it and be disappointed, but
we do not Dbelieve it should
be done., We tire of a multiplicity of
laws of this type. They are useless—
ware always so.
The child who goes out to the
woods in springtime-—and the woods
were as beautifvl in the past spring
as Gcd has ever made them in the
country-——is coming; back witx an
arm full of honey suckle and dog
wood. This is mostly true because
there is always going to he dog wood
and honey suckle in the woods in
spring time and there are going to
Le children who will itch in their
little fingers and their whole hearts
to gather and enjoy them.
There is not one out of a thousand
men that we know who would suffer
one of these to be haulcd before tho
court for violating the law because
at spring time the old, love of nature
burst forth again—and the little
children went forth to enjoy what
nature offered. Honestly, we would
not tackle a grown up for it—even
hough he took our last wild flowers.
Most people would not.
And here is one more useless law
to clutter up the statute books. No
body will pay it any mind—ought
not to do it.
“PEP” IN BUSINESS
With a tobacco crop bringing
something like $6,000,000 a good
peantct crop and a better cotton
crop than has been made since
the advent of the boll weevil,
hesides what has been realized
from watermplons and truck.
South Georgia ought to be in
right “good fix'’' this fall—Al
bany Herald.*
And it is putting the “pep’’ in
business. We are happy at the fine
prospect of fine crop returns from
those who have worked and waited
five long yvears. But we want dairy
rroducts and live stock to offer in
tke markets—more than we have ti
day., The cream checks are all from
the waste gathered from the fields
by the caitle. The money for the
bkcgs at the market added to what
‘comes from the good crops makes
debt paying more possible than any
"thlng we know,
~ The returns from the crops are
going to put the punch into bhusiness
liz\. this section, We are sure of it.
Tiven that which goes into debt-pay
ing uses will help, for it will send
{more money on the rounds,
! WHERE ARE THE MANDATES
| OF YESTERYEAR?
' New York Times:
Its wise political party that knows
its own mandate. In 1920 the Repub-
Micans thought they got a powerful
one'against the League of Nations,
Vhis was disputed at the time by
many oftheir own party, and was
specifically denied by the man who
is now Republican President, then
Governor Coolidge. But the super
stition was set up , and many have
groveled before it until this year.
It has been sufficient excuse, or
pretense, put forward on every oc
casion, suitable or not, as a reason
for renouncing the League and all
its works, Would you have public
men disregard the solemn mandate
of the people?
Well, if the Republiicans believe
in the continuous power of the
voters to issue mandates, they can
find many indications .nowadays
that a mandate of quite another ten
or is coming from the fountain of
atl authority. Look at the anti-Lea
gue Senators who have been either
rebuked or defeated by their own
constituents,
The great lawgiver from, New
Hampshire, Senator Moses, was re
jected as a delegate to the (Cleve
land convention in favor of a man
upon whose candidacy he looked with
contempt.
No one was a more irreconcilable
enemy of the League of Nations
than Senator McCormick. He offer
ed himself for re-election, but the
Republican voters of Illinois would
not have him. He will now think as
badly of his own state as he profes
sicnally did of Europe.
But, of course, the shining exem
plar of what happens when a man
date goes wrong is Senator Johnson
himself. No one threw himself in
to more severe artificial convulsions!
over the League of Nations than he:
He came back from Europe last
summer to begin his campaign for
the Presidency as the mos' imn:iti
gable opponent of every form of al
liance or co-operation with Euro
pean nations. Chiefly on this issue
he cast himself upon the Republican I
voters of many states, only to findl
that their tender mercies to him
were cruel. Rejected everywhcre‘
else, he finally touched the climax
of catastrophe in being set aside
by the Republicans of his own Cali
fornia. His fate was thus not un
like that of thet other protagonist
of the fight against the League of
Nations, Senator Reed of Missouri;
in having th “verdict of the vicin
age” go strongly against him.
If any searcher after a mandate
should argue that in this series of
political events one could be fcund
a very postive kind in favor of the
League of Nations, it would be hard
for theßepublican logicians of 1920 ’
to refute him. To avoid misunder- |

standing, we wish to make it clear
that in our judgment no such man
date has been delivered. But neither
was one delivered as alleged four
years ago,
The talk about it then was large
ly humbug, and to maintain now
that the voters have changed their
minds on the issue would go beyond
the evidence. But, mandate or no
mandate, the country is certainly
retting one now good enough to
show how nonsensical was the as
sertcd mandate of 1920.
HENRY BROWN’S FAITH
Country Gentlemen:
A year ago Henry Brown sold his
¥a2rm and moved to town, full of
faith that he could win a living run
ning a nice grocery store. He was
beeinning to want to take things a
little easier.
He did not know much about
srr.al: town groeeries, but he thought
that jby honesty and square dealing
he ctuld gain sufficient trade to
bring him a modest competence. So
he paid cash through a lying real
estater to a lying merchant for a
stock of well nigh worthless bones

stocking up,
Every dead beat in town forth
with invaded Henry and bought
on credit as large a bill of goods
as he thought Henry would stand
for. Pushers of worthless advertis
ing schemes came on the run.
Good ladies and gentlemen im
portuned him for funds to pant the
pantless heathen in far-off Bama
lam. The silver cornet band sought
contributions. In fact, every member
of the Gimme Gang proceeded to
hook innocent Henry.
The town fined him for placing
wares to far out on the sidewalk.
The landlord, seeing so many peo
ple pasing in and out, increased his
rent.
When finally Henry endeavored
to collect the sums that were justly
due him for goods sold and deliver
ed, declined to fall for confidence
games and grew grim and irascible,
he acquired so many enemies but
so very little cash that in disgust
and distress he sold out what was
left of the ctock and, because he
was homesick for the sights and

sounds of the country, hastened to
rent the old farm from its possesor,
and thankfully set to work where
he had begun years ago before.

in the grocery busiess, but in the
good old honest earth. T
