BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
THE-SABBATH SlGN—*“And the!
Lord spake * * * saying, Verily, my
sabbaths~ye shall keep; for it is @
sign between me and you through
out your generations; that ye may
know that I am the Lord that doth
sanctify you.” Ex. 31: 12, 13.
Down from Canada come witnesses
today telling the w«enate committee
that non!‘;}moxicunt beer has not set
tled the liquor problem in that coun
try. Exactly—this is the testimony
one may expect. Now, who is right,
the wets or the drys?

revival at-the First Methodist church,
but just the same it has been a series
of revival services which are bound
to result in great good.

This country is houndin gagain at

burrassifigE proposal that England
prosecut:e:tllose who offer liquor for

As long as the British legalize the
sale of liquor it is not quite a fair de

liquor ta Americans be punished un

have ulgjéady entered a fair *treaty

GECRGIA POLITICS
‘ Georgia is cursed with politics
ang the worst of it seems to he
that the little politicians are in
charge, making it practically im
possible for our most serious anrd
importnat questions to get fair
consideration. _ Political factional
interests control rather than mer
its of the issues involved. It ig a
regrettable condition. — Barnes
ville News-Gazette.
We should never regret that Geor
gians take an interest in their politics.
The trouble all comes from the fact
that good men, capable men, men
who could lead in creditable manner,
are refraining from entry into poli
tics.
The little fellow is the man who is
little because his ethics permit him
to engage in all sorts of dirty, mean,
i dishonest methods of reaching his
aims. In this day so much meanness
and dishonesty has crept intb Geor
gia politics that the good man, the
capable, honest man refrains from
mixing up with the lower order. He
cannot afford it. He cares for his
good name. He isn't the right kind
of man if he doesn’t, ‘
That explaing the whole thing. If
we are to have such men as Vereen
of Moultrie as leaders in public af-?
fairs in Georgia, we must turn our
backs upon the dishonest fellow. We
I'must shove him out the back way as;
fast as he shows up at, the front door. w
;Our standards must be raised and thc{
people themselves must stand I.’m'l
}(:lean, open and ahove board nmtllnd.s"
of all those who ask for office. ‘
- Georgia isn’t going to find progress
in the hands of such men as were re
sponsible for the meanness dominat
ing the extra session of the legislature ‘
And we want those fellows to under
stand that the people have their num
bers. We can count them on our fin
gers right this moment. There is a
!group gone away from Atlanta this
iweek thinking themselves great states
men when in fact they are held re
ispnnsihle without' question for the
failure to make progress with the
state’s needs in better schools and
paved highways. These Tellows need
not think that the people are going
to fall over themselves at ulvctionl
time when they ask for office—and
}th(‘y are asking for office—will con
tinue to do so, for they are sixteen
hundred thousand times more hungry
for public oficfe than they are con
cerned about progress in handliug the
great public needs in Georgia.
The ballot box is a mighty force in
a democratic form of government. The
day of reckoning with the small fel
low will come when he asks the peo
ple to decid2 between him and som(-1
worthy man asking for public ol‘l‘ice.‘
That's the mioment to clean out \\'ilh}
the unworthy man asking for o[l‘iue.l
That's the moment to clean out \\'it.hll
the unworthy politican. The people
of our counties should have greater
pride and interest in the type of man
gent to the legislature in future. 1t
must be done if we ever make pmg-l
ress in publie affairs. |
In public affairs, as well as in pri\'-}
ate, there are jobs too large for some
folks. This state has great questions
to seftle in each session of the gen
eral assembly because it is a great
state and one needing many big
things done for public progress. We
must demand men as leaders in public
im’l‘ico in the tuture. Until we do that,
;\\'v need not expect the creditable
handling of public atfairs. Too many
'(-lwu]) politicians in the assembly have
kept the worth while workers ham
strung in all their efforts. QOut with
the little fellow-—down him at home.

OPERA STARS COMING
“Dixie is preparing an enthusiastic
reception for the constellation of
American stars who will be one of
the chief attractions during Atlanta’s
week of Metropolitan grand opera be
ginning April 19 Reservations are
heavier than in previous years,
Especial interest has been evinced
’in the trio of youthful singers, Marion
"l‘ullm'. Mary Lewis and Dorothea
Flexer. Other American stars who
will appear are Rosa Ponselle, an old
favorite in the South, Louise Hunter,
who sang in light opera here last sum
mer, and Lawrence Tibbett, baritone.
Miss Talley will be heard in Lucia,
Friday, April 23. She is assured net
only of a welcome from the South, but
announcemgent was made that reserva
tions had been made by Kansas Cit
ians who will also come here to hear
: their protegee,
. Chief i):l‘orest. of course, is in Miss
tLewis, a daughter of the South and
one-time choir singer of Little Rock,
l Ark. A few days prior to her South
lcrn debut in grand opera, Miss Lewis
{visited her old home town and sang in
lu concert arranged especially for her.
;She will sing here in 'Pagliacci on
!Wedncsduy, Apri.l 21. ‘
~ Miss Flexer, a Pennsylvania girl,
will appear in Don Quixote on Tues
day, April 20, and in Jewels of the
Madonna, on Thursday, April 22.
Miss Ponselle’s appearance in At
lanta always has heen the signal for
a crowded house and 8 R O signs. Her
performance here last year, especially
in I 1 Trovators, was enthusiastically
received. Feodor Chaliapin, who will
take the title role in 'Don Quixote, is
another olq favorite in the South.
Whilz the grand opera season is
held in Atlanta and its expenses are |
guaranteed largely by Atlanta citi
zens, it long has borne a distinct
South-wide aspect, in that reserva-‘
tions for seats come from all parts of,
the section, .
KING COTTON STILL REIGNS
New York World: .
The government’s final report on
last year’s cotton .crop shows a yield
of 16,085,905 bales, only 49,025 bales
less than the recordl crop of 1914,
This iz a striking change within two
vears. During the three-year period,
1921-23, the annual average yield was
only 9,285,000 bales. Two years ago
there was a widespread belief that
the ravages of the boll weevil had
caused a permanent curtailment in
the supply of American cotton, and
that the world henceforth would face
a shortage wunless other producing
areas could be developed.
This idea has been completely up
set by the yields of 1924 and 1925.
In the preceeding lean yecars the
weather was persistently unfavorable
to the crop and favorable to the prop
agation of the weevil. The last two
growing seasons were far better in
this respect. Meanwhile, considerable
progress hasb een made in combating
the pest, and the price of cotton has
been conducive to increased acreage
and...better cultivation. An equili
brium between sypply and demand
has been re-established and there is
now enough raw cotton for a comfort
able reserve. The throne of King
Cotton, whicl once seemeq shaky, is
again secure,

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
The government has issued a fraud
order against the fellows who were
sellinng it, and in the meantime the
Chattandogq News explgins that an
analysis of the mixture made by the
department’s seed *testing laboratory
showed that it was composed mainly
of megdow fescue and Jtalian rye gras
The victims have paid as high as 31.-
50 a pound for the mixturee, whereas,
according to the derariment, the con
[ tituents of the herbae prati mixinre
could have heen purchgsed fromrep
, utable seed firms for not more ithan
18 to 20 cents a pound.
The postal fraud order has put a
stop to the use of the mails by the
firm, but ftraveling agenst gra still
aclive throughout the country, espec
ially‘ in the southern states at rlesent
selling “herbae prati’’ by house-to
!house canvgss and to local seed han
i dlers. !
! Meadow fescue is a lawn grass. In
the humid sections of the TUnited j
States it is a good meadow and pastur” ’
grass when used in mixture with
other grasses, but it mgy be said un
qualifiedly that it is not a_desirable
lawn grass, nor is it drouth resistant
in the commonly accepted senge of
the term. Ttalian rye grass is somic
time wused for mgking temporary I
Jawns, or as a minor constituent of
permanent lawn mixtures for quick
and temporary results Meadow fescue
and [talian rye grass gre not turf
forming grasses, but grow in bunches
much the same as timothy, and,there
fore, it is impossible for them to
make a velvety turf, By nature of
their growth they are not ggsressive
against weeds and ant than is Ken
tucky bhluegrass.
The average loss to society from
each postponable death is estimated
at $1,7920.
