T@ many drownings were reported
yeatfi'day from the great crowds that
throgiged the beaches and bathing
plachs during the celebration of the
Fouah. The old story of getting be
yond one's depth in the water was
giveh as an explanation. When an
lm:aur swimmer goes beyond his
dé’p" great danger swamps him.”
When the best of swimmers attempt
to séve a drowning person, these are
ihb: n the gravest danger. Not all
thésg who venture too far lose their
liveqg in the water, but nearly all
thi who drown do so becaus® they
n’t beyond their depth.
It ‘we did not know that thing has
be'o;lrled in conscientious manuver,
overt:and over again, we should not
entep such a protest. Clift Walker
sought in dead earnest to give Geor
‘llllf a plan for paving its highways
in the extra session of the legislature.
But 'tve;y etfort made was spiked by
Joh‘ Brown and John Holder and the
ringsters who stood around the capi

}!DDLESOME ATLANTA
Notgall of the Atlanta effort to put
JOIII' Tilson on the federal bench in
the Middle District is going without
criticlBm. The hardest fight of their
publig career fell upon Senators Walt
er Geprge and William J. Harris in
defeating this federal appointment
and i is not certain as yet that they
hnve; won. A recess appointment
may e the final outcome. We hope
not; but that is yet possible,
Editor “Jeems” Williams of the
Grénsboro Herald Journal had this
sigdificant comment to make with re
nr&. to the effort of meddlesome At-
Ilni politfcians to force Tilson upon
the ‘people of the new district against
thef}i will and contrary to all decency
in the naming of a judget o fill the

I HOLDER AND THE I-‘IGHWAYO
~ John Holder isn't congerned ahout
‘what become:s of the paving of the
Georgia highways. This s a strong
statement to, make, esp'eclallrf since
we are now getting inth one single
‘huge fund soinething like ten billion
fdollau a year for that business. But
the statement is amply justified in
the race John Holder has been mak
!lng for governor all thle time he has
‘heen in the highway dopartment,
I Listen at this, will you, from the
Savannah Press: ‘
“It is a very hard mafter for a can
didate for public offige to please all
of his critics.
“Take the case of Hon. John N,
Holder, for instance. One set of
papers is calling on him to prove
practically how he is going to pave
the roads under the pay-ms-you-go sys
tem., He has announced this policy
and he thinks it necessary to stay at
the head of the Highway Commission
to put this policy into practice and
answer his critics in the most effec
tive way.”
Our complainf is that he isn't stay
ing at the head of the highway depart-
Tenp«to* put into effect his pay-as.
);ou-‘o p}an. That plan is all right—
all right, provided John Holder or
some other good man stays there and
works it. But John Holder cannot
work that or any other plan with ;ny
degree of success while out peddling
for the office of governor. When we
were firat told that Holder was going
to run or governor some several
monthg ago, we didnt :want to believe
it. We wanted to see him go on with
the paving, We yelled for him and
hoped he would succeed.
But the whole thing hag developed
a John Holder effort to use the high
way department to lift himself into
the governor’s race with a lap or two
ahead of anybody else. He has done
that very thing-—used the mileage and
the millions for paving wherever he
tould make it net more headway for
governor. He says he must be vindi
cated—vindicated from the charges
lodged against him when he messed
himself all up in the management of
the business affairs of the highways
so that public criticism and an investi
gation Were urgéht. A real business
man would have thrown that stutt'
aside and gone on with the duties of
the office. He would have gone for
ward with the paving, not with poli
tics. A real highway head would not
have lobbied around the extra ses
slon of the legislature to get even
with a governor who ‘“fired” him
when he needed “firing.”” Plainly, we
think Holder still needs “firing” for
dabbling in cheap machine politics
while the state is calling on him for
its paving.
John Helder is in a larger job to
day than he could hold it he were
governor. (But he is built for poli
tics—so fond of the pats that the
ringsters give his broadening should
ers—he simply cannot go on to work
on the paving and leave that stuff
alone. NoW. we do not believe that
he wants to prove his pay-as-you-go
plan worti what all of us claim it is.
We have argued that thing day and
night for four long years—and we
only had John Holder to prove it
worth anything at all.
We want to go out the back way
and kick down the fense when we
awake to the fact that John Holder
isn't trying to prove our pay-as-you
go plan worth anything—except to
put himself ahead of the other can
didates in the race for governor. He
isn’'t even dreaming about paving, He
is busy making his department shove
him on up the hill as a candidate for
governor, :
That's all wrong. We need some
body to study and advance our pav
ing plans. We are paying in millions
of dollars each year for paving and
the work needs all the time of a blg‘
man. The thing would make a blgl
man of John Holder, but he isn't go
ing to pave. He ig going to d«bble!
in politics and let the. paving take
care of itself.
It isn't right to use the paving mon
ey and the state highway mileage for
campaign advantages. It isn’t right
to lay down all the large duties of
;'e the crudest and crookedest in the
state. Atlanta is hurting herself when
she attempts to interfere with the
affairs of other sections.”
’that department and go out peddling
}lor votes in the racefor governor.
Does anybody understand what waste
of funds—public funds—that means?
Do we care?! Are we so partisan, so
engrossed in politics and our man for
governor that we cannot call for
‘somebody at the head of the highway
department who will not throw away
the public funds and our paving op
portunities for thechance to be gov
ernor? Are we wrong in asking these
questions? I
SENATOR GEORGE RIGHT
In a statement issued following the
close of the present session of Con
gress, Senator Walter George intimat
ed plainly that there will be no farm
relief till the democrats come into
power and force it, He is telling the
plain truth, The manufacturing and
banking interests of the north and
east have been wholly in charge of
the government since the Harding and
Coolidge administrations came into
power and they are going to remain
obstinate in their determination not
to share any national prosperity with
agriculture.
“The present administration,” he
declared, “entirely failed to semse the
needs of the farmerd, and the only
hope for farm legislation is in the
election p;,'a.‘ .fldvempc‘rauc congress,
ommitted ,to the gound democratic
tariff doctrine and to the Robinson
bill, or some such measure carrying
an appropriation large enough for the
financing and marketing of all of our
agricultural crops in times of emer
gency such as now exist.,”
Senator George pointed out that he
and Senator Harris had both voted
for the bill presented by Senator Rob
inson, of Arkansas, democratic floor
leader, which had been introduced af
ter consultation among many leading
democrats in the senate.
‘When this failed, Senator George
pointed out that he voted for the Fess
bill | which Senator Harris also sup
ported, although he believed the
amount carried in that measure was
entirely inadequate. The Fess bill
carried an appropriation of only $lOO,-
000,000.
~ “The Robinson bill provided an ap
propriation of $200,000,000 which
might be increased to a billion dol
lars for the marketing of all farm
products, including tobacco and pea
nuts, two crops in which the farmers
of Gegrgia are now vitally interest
‘ed.” George said.
“This bill had the support of the
great majority of the democrats in
the senate and in my opinion would
have been promptly accepted by the
house if the democrats in the senate
could have succeeded in passing it,
and its passage would have brought
immediate and material relief to all
farmers,”
: HEALTHY INDUSTRY
‘We note that the manufacturers of
the country report business up and
able, to be about. It it were not
healthy with the aid of the Fordney-
MecCumber tariff which lays d¢ribute
on the American public of billions of
dollars each year in high prices of
the necessities of life, we should be
greatly concerned, Farming has
shown a thousand percent increase in
failures during the time that manu
facturing has shown a fattening dis
position,
This is pretty good evidence that
manufacturing has profited at the ex
pense of agriculture, We charge that
it has prospered at the most unjust
expense ever levied against farming.
Yes, industry ought to be able to be
up and about—the east and the north
are not much concerned about condi
tions in the south and the west—and
the west doesn't get its consent to
join hands with the south and force
fairer treatment in the law-making
body of the nation where industry has
had all legislation in the past few
years made to suit its needs—and
and even to bolster its huge income by
a tariff levy against the south and the
west.
When the west and the south find
out that their interests run in com
mon and that the east and the north
are not going to agree to government
fairly administered until they are
forced to do so, there may be some
change,
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
WHTT IS EDUCATION
From the Savannah Morning News:
There have been many learned
and not a few less theoretical and
more practical discussions and dis--
sertations upon the subject of what
constitutes “education,” what right--
fully entitles one to be classed among
the educated” The head of the De
Witt Clinton high school, New York
has boiled down the matter to the
answers to twenty-five questions he
put to the senior members of the
school, They are not classic queries
nor academic; they have little to dc
with information or accumulatcd}
knowledge or the skill for using it ‘
They are intensely practical in their
relation of life-behavior. Obviouslyj
the expected answers to all the ques
tions are affirmative—and delib
erately, conscientiously uttered af
firmatives, at that, Here is the list
by which he permits high schoo'
boys and girls to test themselves ag
their “education:”

IN LIFE'S supreme moments no
cigarette can compare with Camel.
No other cigarette ever was made
so good, for Camel excellence is
the result of skill. Skill in finding
the world’s choicest tobaccos—in
blending, as only the world’s larg
est organization of experts can.
From the beginning Camel took
its stand on the quality platform,
and nothing could ever induce its
makers to change Camel tobaccos.
No expense is spared, no care is
too great to make Camel the
world’s most satisfying smoke,
regardless of price.
In popularity with smokers, no
cigarette made can touch Camels.

after-taste.
