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.

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.

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, | MOTHER AS PLAYMATE The great opportunities many moth ersmiss of becoming the true play mates and pals of their growing chil «ln:u‘inj'o.mplmsi':c«:fl in an article ‘in the current issue of the Child Wel fare ‘\lilga‘,iill(‘ written by Mrs, Ella Lyman Cabot.
