“More can be done during the next

THE CHEROKEE ROSE
Springu‘me in Dixie is regarded by
{lower-lovers as the time of roses.
Almost all varieties are raised in
he open in this latitude and farther
touth, almost the year around.
Rose-bushes are to be found in pro
fugion and especially in Georgfa,
where the Cherokee rose rules a fav
orite.
- This flower talltes its name from
the Cherokee nation of Indians which
made the mountaing of the morthern
portion of the state their habitat.
There is no authentic account of
he origin of the rose but a legend,
aandeq down from the Indians still
lives. It involves a romance between
1 Cherokee. maiden and .a Seminole
brave from Florida, ) 4
Tl}e young brave, taken prisoner by
the ‘Cherokee; was doomed ‘to die by
torture, after which his body was to
be thrown into flames. But before
the sentence could be carried into
axecution, he was stricken by dise lsv.‘
A tradition among the Cherokees
wag that no foe ever had been put toi
‘death unless hé was in the pink orl
health. Consequently, t]ne youth was‘
faken by a Cherokce chief to his own
set, 'who set his daughter to .nursing.‘
As the Seminole improved, her feel
‘ng for him increased and shortly be
‘ore the time he was to be put to
leath, she found she was in love with
iim. She pleaded with him to escape
“vith her help and make his way home
| fe reciprocating her love, refused to
lo this unless she accompan yhim.
| At midnight they stole away, but
.vhen a short distance, the Indian
: sirl said she could not go on without
' jome memento of her old home. They
eturned and she broke a beautitul
"i'ose from the bush by the hut of her
‘ather,
. Carrying this in her breast to the
"ind farther south, she planted it at
ier new home, It took root and flour
shed, and its milk white Dblossoms
;ith golden centers recalled her child
“.ood days in the far-away mountaihs
f Georgia,
From that time, this flower has
een known as the Cherokee rose.
A REAL FIGHT
Savannah Press:
The argument is made that in a
year of business prosperity a fight
on the tariff might be a losing one.
However, several forces have con
verged, says an articlet in the New
York Times, toward a tariff fight in
this Congress. The peopie of the
United States paid last year three
billion dollars because of the tariff.
The government collected a little
pver five hundréd million. “The bal
ance, nearly two and a half billion
was subsidy to industry.” ,
. The president has removed tariff
commissioners who recommended a
veduction in the sugar tariff which
would have saved twohundredthous
‘and dollars a day for American con-:
sumers without injuring domestic“‘
sugar producers. One of the men who
signed this recommeondution - walk
“made Minister to Roumania and
thus put out of the way. The only
gurvivors of the signers of this re
’port is snowed under by high tariff
votes. The fact that no reduction can
be procured in important schedules
&gfi the tariff commission has
intensified the fight in congress.
Hundreds of tariff provisions arti-l
ficially increasing the prices of thous
ands of commodities in the United
States are to be found in the pres
ent tariff law. The rate levied onj
raw wool ig 8D percent higher than ‘
the schedule which President Tafti
said was “‘indefensible.”” There is
great divergence of interest betwccnl
the manufacturing East and the agri-!
cultural South,” also. President Cool-|
idge seeks to discount the tariff bur-l
den upon the people. The rural elec-|
torate has protested against any
such low estimate. The farmer has
learned that being unable to form a
monopoly, he cannot enjoy the hone
fits of high customs, especially 210
grops which go partly into cxpnr:::.!
He cannot match the aluniinom
trusts, for instance! he is wo: r'2 .
whether he, may benefit more 00,
demanding a reduction of existim:!
rates in manufactured éomm(>diticsi
than from demanding high rates for‘
himself. : |
Huge government subsidies under'
the tariff are paid to manufacturers
A member of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House says that at
its hearing more than 90 percent of
the witnesses were representatives
of special interests. They wanted a
tariff''which' in some instances was
as high as 1,000 percent. The freak
ish operations of the tariff is being
pointed out. '
The United States is now a cred
itor nation. It is absurd to try to
collect foreign debt, and at the same
time erect a wall against the goods
with which they should be paid. We
must lower our tariff walls. We must
accept pay in part for the balance
due us in goods and not in gold. The
remedy is simple enough but it can
not be applied by the party of Mel
lon and Coolidge and under their

BOY, howdy! You'll say so the first
one you roll with Prince Albert, the bet
ter tobacco for cigarettes. P. A. rolis
slick as a whistle. Doesn’t flutter away
on the first brecze or spill all around.
That’s because P. A. is crimp-cut. It
burns better for the same reason.
And that taste! There’s the real test
after all. 'A cigarette made with P. A.
tastes so good you’ll be making one right
after the other. From morning right up
to closing-time. Cool as.a breeze from
the North, Sweet as butter-taffy. Fra
grant as wind-blown blossoms. That’s
Prince Albert! Good old Prince Albert,
the better cigarette tobacco. ;

You just never tasted a home-rolled cig

pleasure. Get a tidy red tin or a toppy

It’s the quality tobacco in Prince
Albert that makes such a cigarette. This
