The loss of John Temple Graves
will be a great blow to the south. His
eloquence as a lecturer and orator,
coupled with his extreme loyalty to
the south, makes him an outstanding
figure. We hope he will be spaved
yet for many years of usefulness.
Sam Olive better keep quiet while
Will Anderson goes home to be at the
bedside of his aged and dyinz father.
There is such a thing as pushing this
beyond the point wher sympathizing
humanity will follow. 4 row over
the executive management of the high
way department may be something,
but it isn't big enough to blot out
filial affection at the hour of death—
down at the brink of the river where
the two worlds mecet., It ought not
to be. &

One of the really sad things in ev
ery day life is the fear of real work
on the part of the hundred percent
loafer. We tried to give one of the
anparently pitifully needy fellows in
this class work the other day. but
we paid for a fairly good meal for
him first. With that he took French
leave, and we have no doubt that he
will go again as long as his pinch:
ing hunger will permit. What a fine
old world this would be ir everybody
earned hisg way!
Georgians who shoot doves in Au
gust will not only violate the tederal
Jlaws, but they will also violate the
state laws. It shoulq be kept in mind
that the state laws were changed last
yvear so as to conform to the federal
laws. Shooting doves in August is a
violation of both state and federal
law and will most likely get the hunt
e into deep trouble. This little line
is printed in order that those who
may not know about it may stay safe
We need not get excited over the
extreme efforts of the big fellows to
drive down the prices of cotton. There
is a cooperative association which is
bandling a great volume of the crop—
and getting honestly for the producer
what the market will atford. Thig is
a farmer's organization and the only
organization marketing the cotton
which is a hundred percent for the
farmer, Its overhead is nominal and
its effort to get results-—for the
grower. No tarmer who trusts his for
tunes in the hands of those whose
’ business is to buy ;l( the lowest pos
sible figure and sell at the highest
should complain it he gets “picked"
at that sort of business. Whoever
g 0 derires moy stop losses of that
kind. The Georgia Cooperative Cot
ton Growers' Llarketing Association
operates upon correct principles.
Those who wish to benefit by that or
ganization may do so with reasonable
's'ecuri{y—und without unreasonable

DREAMS OF THE FUTURE
’ Mariin Amorous, of Marietta hit
!dinu?ly in the land of dreams in a
’«'mnmumv:nirm which we take from
l(hn Atlanta Constitution today in
which he suggests a power commis
sion for the development of the water
power in Georgia. It looks like a
dream—and doubtless will be termed
s 0 by many who read and pass it. But
it is more than that--=c much more
lihzm that—till we are constraineq to
fu-g.rinl it and ray, as we do so, that
he hints at something which will
come true in a day we hope not far
distant,
Georgia water power iz so large
that private capital will never give
it to this generation, though it may
,‘I” all it can. We are not averse to
private development and operation,
but this state has so much more of
industrial development ahead of it in
its water power development that
men of vision may well think of it
and figure for larger things. They
can only come to us in that diree
tion,
For nine loug vears have men in
this community dreameq of what we
are about to realize in the form of
water development. This communi
ty industrially is bound to grow hy
leaps and bounds, The progress which
hag been already had driven deep the
spikes in our foundation of faith in
a 4 few more well directed strokes,
with all of us pulling together as one
man, dream will hecome a reality.
Under no other plan that we Fnow
could such a thing hecome a reality,
Our dream promises g 0 much that o
are constrained to say we are glad
there are dreamers.
Here is what Mr. Amorous wriles.
I* is worth reading—worth giving l()‘
others. 1t follows: . |
“Editor Constitution: If the legis
lature will create a water-power com
mission with authority to develop all
available water power by building
dams, where practical and econom
ical to construet, in the rvivers and
streams of Ceorgla, we can furnish
power to every farm and factory, and
oarn profits ¢aough to builg all our
school houses and pave every road in
Georgia. Pass the law for the com
mission (o use the credit of the state,
rot exceeding $70,000,000 and we
won’'t need to “sell Georgia” to any
hody and we will be able to keep our
lands for “we'uns and our chillun.”
As a “concrete” example of only one
of the projects 1 direct attention to
the plan developed by government en
gineers 10 years ago, for power of
four dams on the Chattahoochee viv
or. The estimateq cost then was §B.-
200,000 for 250,000 horsepower; It
would afford navigation from Atlanta
to the gulf by locks and canals in
one and two thousand ton power
boats.
“1t wonld be an extension of the
state-owned railroad to the ocean, and
furnish all the power to operate it
It would add 25,000 horsepower to the
lame now at Columbus without cost
ing them a single dollar. It would
sive navigation to Columbus the year
vound. it would prevent flood dam
age at West Point that cost $2,000.000
‘1 one vear. It would afford employ
ment in varied industry of 1,250,000
people. The finest bed of magnetic
iron ore parallels the Chattahooche
from Habersham county south and
Hes hetween Atlanta and Cartersville,
This electric power could turn this
into stee] and make Georgia the steel
center of the Uniteq States. It could
ho used to manufacture nitrates and
ortilizers for agriculture cheaper
han Mr. Ford could do it at Muscle
Shoals. The Chattahoochee plan is
not an experiment. Hugh L. Cooper,
the worlds leading hydro-electric en
sineer, approved it,
“Socretaries Lane, Houstoy and Ba
kor, of DPresident Wilson's cabinet,
nd General Black, chief of army en
sinecrs indorsed it to President Wil
son as one of five suitable locations
for the government nitrate plant.
“If the legislature adopts this state
power development, it will provide 2
system to support a population of
10,000,000 people in Georgia. Lot's
work together and build up, instead
of sitting down and ‘slipping.’

A NOTABLE INVESTMENT
One man who went Florida through
and made every possible investiga
tion with a view of investing, came
hack home and took two thousand
and one hundred acres of lands in this
vicinity without having gone over 'it
to see what he really had. He paid
the cash for it and is still in this
territory today looking over more
lands with a view of taking hold of
them. His is a large investment-—
one made after he haq gone carefully
into the Florida prospecis.
We may well credit Florida with
having made it possible. This man
wag moved by the Florida advertising.
It resuited in an improvement in the
ownership of a large acreage of lands
in this splendid section of Gcnr‘-_,.ia.
It means ultimate high-class fm'm‘ de
velopment here that might never have
been accomplished in this generation.
Anq yet the new purchaser has
chosen well. We believe he has in
vested wisely—wisely in comparison
with what he might have done in Flor
ida, There will hbe more of this. It
will be recounted in the daily news
ran of this section—for this section
of Georgia offers gomething better
now than can be had elzewhere. The
lands are never going to he availabie
again at the prices which prevail at
thig very hour. We are as sure of
that as could be humanly possible to
foretell.
Many eyes have been on this see
tion of late. Promised development
in Crisp county points the way of
great opporiunity. New comers are
gtudying this community. They are
atiracted not o much by outside ad
vertising =o much as by what we are
doing at home ourselves. I we keep
the lick—pull together for one greal
gain at the time-—-we are going to find
cnrselves greatly surprised at the new
capitai, new brain and brawn which
will be attracted here.
People love to flock to a live com
munity. They are not going to light
down in any other if they know it.
People of Crisp county are doing
things which spell development that
will lmow.no bhounds.
And down go the freight rates on
peanuts to the larger markets. That's
another line of good news. We want
the carriers to have their just earn
}in;:s, but a freight rate that keeps
the products of Georgia farms out of
the great markets of the country wiil
keep Georgia farms in a deserted con
dition. Marketing problems are not
alone resting in high freight rates,
but this is undoubtedly one of the
handicaps. We want to gel our pro
ducts to the consumer at a rate which
can be paid. We want our products
1o go on the mavket at a price which
{he consuming public can pay. A faiv
i\'l'(‘if-‘.‘hl rate will help—will help =
!::rvnt deal. DPeanuts are no small
‘itvm in the farming output in Geor
gia.
DISHONEST PUBLICITY
The eigantic powder trust—the con
coerns combined which make the wars
of the world—seek to advertise their
merchandise in the newspapers of
this country t(hrough a press agency
housed in a little corner in wealthy
Park Avenue in New York by send
ing free publicity matter all elothed
in clever news features. We wish
we could tell them just how much
they fail to get through on that pro
gram, The DuPontg of this country
are able to buy with pocket change
every newspaper plant in the land.
and yet they scek to put over free
publicity-—ang that alone.
Of course, all that stuff goes i
rectly into the waste baskets in lhosof
plants where editors have at least a
working acquaintanceship with the |
business department. No editor ought
to let it through, no matter how great
the enterprise. We have one under
our eye at this moment that teils of
a 600,000 horse power development
on the Pit river in California, and en
terprise runping through ten years of
jcoxmtl'm-tion. 1t is pictured in at-
Aractive form, accompanied by a write
‘up and a matrix for easy use in the
paper.
We did not think the great busi
ness interests of this country could
Lbe so fooled by a smooth-tongued

they have been told {hat such stufs
would go like their high explosives—
‘with a great roar of success through
(he columns of the.newgpapers free.
Something fer nothing appeals, but
men in big busginess ought to know
that most of the world doesn't give
something {or nothing. Service in the
newspaper costs a great amount of
money. :
Well, the frce publicity ddesn’t go
thirough-—not even with all the clever |
arrangement and convenience of form.
One by cne the big business enter
prises of the country are finding out
that they, are wasting moncey on the
free stuff. It will finally die out,
bound to do it. But while we are af
it, we might as well write down here
now that the powder makers, as well
as other large businei: operators
who are the victims of the iree stuff
schemes, should put their money in
to legitimate paiq space in the news
papers if they want publicity. They
‘n(.'(.(l it—must have it. If the l'nndsl

ket through the free press agency
were marshalled into well-planned ad
vertising and scheduled on regular
accounts, returns of a far more de
;s:ir:lhlo nat.re would result.
If we had it in our power to do so,
we should not ask these large l;u-;i-l
ness concerns for more than the mon
ey which they waste in the free press
ag('n(‘;i material. It would be enonugh,

Take a ‘Little Salts if Your
Back Hurts, or Bladder
Is Troubling You
No man or woman can make a mis
take by flushing the kidueys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority.
Eating too much rich food creates
acids, which excite the kidneys. They
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then we
get sick. Rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding,
begin drinking a quart of water each
day, also get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast, and in a few days
vour kidneys may act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which evervone should take now
and then to help keep the kidneys
clean and active and the blood pure
therchy often avoiding serious kidney
complications. By all means have
your physician examine yonr kidreys
at least twice a year,
