BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
THE MERCY SEAT—“And thou
shalt put the merey seat above upon
the ark; And there 1 will meet with
thee and 1 will commune with thee.”
Ex 2b:21322.
© After the votes are counted out
this evening, we feel confident that
both Cordele and Crisp county will
have approved the five vear tax ex
emption provision and thus will have
opened the way for larger industrial
building. 1t is a wise step. We are
together building for ourselves when
we put a H.rm foot forward for the
city and thé-county.
We are advised tha: we had a mil
lion farmers leave the l’ul'mg last year.
Judging from the sixteen million bale
cotton crop, they did not leave the
cotton f{ields. And this year—well,
we are going to call back half that
million to make and gather the crop
we have. But that will not matter
much. We have synthetic stake prom
ised from cotton and if this is a
success there will he need of all the
cotton. This is a great world-—a
great old world.
" Cordele has many pretty young
women—and some - older wio were
their graces and charms well. No
wonder in a ‘t‘}‘i‘fi’lb;‘:(x ;;(,);".I.) of sélvo;':rl
hundred at \feslv_\':m all roads lead
to Cordele wh%n it comes to picking a
queen of the May Festival, 'With all

MANN'S PLATFORM
The special s.'ssiun of the assembly
has prwlum-(lim‘m candidate with a
platform that ‘has something in it
for governor.s Representative B, ¥
Mann of (ll,\"nn county has opened
headguarters in the Kimball House
in Atlanta and gone down to business.
His platform ds out in astoundingly
plain words, “Whether one can sup
port him or not. there isn't aparticle
of difficulty ‘,jn understanding him.
He doesn’t straddle, He doesn't quib
ble. The things he wants accomplish
ed are laid down in plain words.
We can appreciate this straight
from the shoulder challenge. It Mr.
AMann never gets o stone's throw from
his own door=step with the program
he lays down, he certainly must find
manp approving his plein method :-t
presenting his views,
We count it a duty to give here the
brief outiing of his campaign pro
gram. As Lo committal, we are going
to wait tiss all the carls are up so
we can Iread” what's on them.
Mr. Mann offers thesa things: ™
“1 am a plain bhusiness man and be
lieve in business methods and eftic
iency in state governmeni. Without
personal animosity toward any man
or set of men 1 declare myself un
compromisingly opposed to the ma
chine politics which is and has been
doing s» much to injure and belittle
this great commonwelath, and it elect
ed governor 1 pledge myself to faith
rully and unsweveringly perform the
administrative duties of this high of
fice to the end that waste, inefficiency
and reckless expgenditure in all the
department of state shail be speedily
cleminated
“Particularly s thig true of the ag
ricultural and highway departments.
At every session for the past several
vears along with other earnest legis-
Jators, 1 have sought to have the Dis
tillation Test substituted for the an
tiguated and farcial pretense of a
Gravity Test as regards the gasoline
sold in Georgia. The 186 useless oil
inspeciors should be reduced to six
and save the state near $200,0Q0 vear
ly, and at the same time put an end
to the political machine thus ereated.
“1 favor a reorganization of the
highway department, which shall be
created by a statute that will make of
it a corporation, founded on business
principles, and when so created and
established it will be free from po
litical influence and politics, and that
will eliminata every dollar of unneces
sary expense, and evrey unnecessary
employee,
l “Auditor Slate's 1925 report show
| ed that before a tractor turns a wheel
‘ur a vard of dirt is moved $2,016,000
of road funds have been spent in ad
ministrative expense, on 672 high pric
ed employees at an average salary
and expense of $3OOO each. This stu
‘pendous sum is spent, as Mr. Slate’s
’r«pm't shows, bhefore the wages of
'truck drivers and other employees
are reached. It seems to me that
$600,000 of the tax payers’ money
could be saved in this matter alone.
With usch ridiculous and enormous
waste of our highway funds, is it any
wonder that we now have less than
1.-fl)o miles of state hard surfaced roads
{after seven years effort and aun ex
!]:vmliluro of $37,000,000,
i “From one end of the state to the
]mhor the people are aroused as never
;ln-l'm-c. at the enormous wagte of
isl;m- funds and the inefficiency in
i many (lc\p:n'lxm-n.ls of our state govern
jment, The House of the present log:
islature lagt summer overwhelmingly
went on record for these reforms and
and but for the influence of machine
politics would have passed the sen
ate. These reforms can and must be
had before the people are asked to
provide additional tfunds for further
expenditure.
“11 elected governpr, 1 solemnly
pledge myself to a propre distribu
tion of the tax burden of the state.
I believe in classifying and segregat
ing intangible property so as to re
quire it to bear its just part in the
vsupport of the state. This infamous
?ihwqunlily in our tax system could
| have been remedied years ago but for
ilho large part machine politics have
!plu.\'u(l in electing the men who have
‘;ulmiuislurml the affairs of state.

fal and social progress of our state is

“I do not hold with the machine pol

of self-government and [ regard it as
an insult to their intelligence when
they idre denied the liberty privilege
bequathed to them®by their fathers

MILLION EX-FARMERS
Nearly a million persons left the
farm for the town or city during 1925.
That is the report made public by
the United States department of agri
culture,
In fact, in round numbers, 2,035,000
persong living on farms throughout
the country during 1925 moved to the
city. But, to partly offset this exo
dus, 1,135,000 moved from cities and
towns to the farm, which left a net
movement away from the farms of
901,000 perzons,
In 1924, the report shows( 2,075,000
left farms for city and town life,
while 1,596,000 urbanites became rur
alists, leaving a deficit for that year
on the farms of 697,000.
Nearly a halt million of those quit
ting the farms were in the South At
lantic states, according to the report,
414.000-£armers and their families hav
ing moved cityward, while 166,000 city
folk in that district ook up farming.
The decrease in t‘umi population in
the states comprising the southeast
area \\':.’ls 3.9 percent of the total pop
ulation of farms in that district, or
6,221,000, The South Atlentic section,
the department’s figures also show,
has the greatest farm population in
the United States, the next highest
section in population being the “west
south central” section, with a popula
tion of 5,117,000,
