BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
" OUR REDLEMER GOD--“Re
member . ~ . thou wast : pondman,
and the Lord thy God redeemcd
thee.’ Deut. 24:18.
We have a guess that France will
Leve to do away with some of her
costly standing army and get the con
sent of her people to tax themsgelves
“to pay the public debts before there
will be much relief from the failing
end falling governments in that coun
try. i
Judge Dick Russell is fast revealing
what a cheap skate slacker he is as
chief justice of the Georgia supreme
court in his race for the senate
Lgainst Senator George. He is re.
Jorted as saying in a Milledgeville
gpeech the other day that none but
two southern senators voted for Unit
ed Stateg adherence to the world
court, these, of course, being the
Georgia senators, The truth about
this thing is that no southern senator
but Cole Blease of South Carolina
voted against our adherence to the
vorld court. And Cole Blease isn't
pany in his public attainments. Dick
Kyssell is in truth running on a Cole
Blease platform,
We have a guess in our mind that
the negro is not the only person res.
lonsible for the double murder in
Macon. It will be difficult to find the
higher ups, but when all the cover
ie pulled off—if it ever is—a white
nan will be found engnieering that
crime. Every circumstance points to
the bootleggers who made that for-
Lidden ground for the couple who
were myrdered. The negro may” have
come upon the young couple to get
tnem to move on, but it isn't a bad
guess to figure that he was sent to
clear them out so the flow of bhoot
leg liquor might not be hindered.
Wilson may have disputed with the
negro over his right to tarry there
in a public road, the shooting follow
ing, but the bootleggers, the chances
are, were behind the whole thing,
. 'BANKING TROUBLES 3
Georgia's banking department
seems to be a mere plaything.
It is all right when the weather
is fair, but it does not function
when it is foul.—Valdosta Daily
Times.
1t is our sincere belief that no bank
ing law in Georgia is possible to clr.f
cumsceribe the terrible handicaps wo%
euffer from Wall Street. The l-‘od-‘
cral Reserve is no longer the p«oplo's‘
institution as it was intended when
it was founded. The hand of the
father of the Witham system of banks
i¥ plainly visible in the Federal Re
pserve System. Mr, Witham was call
ca to Washington by the late Presi
dent Wilson to help formulate the
banking laws under which the l«:mlvr:ll
Reserve came into existence, The
Witham system 4n Georgia had many
principles in common with tho prin.
ciples which went into the law vru:u-‘
ing the Federal Reserve. The under
lying idea was to make the funds of
the entire system available for use
wherever most needed. For example,
it the west had shown a decline in
business conditions and the banks
nreeded help to tide over,” they had it
in the system founded for that pur
pose. If the south had a depression,
the whole Federal Reserve resources
were available to tide over. The
funds lying fidle in the banks of a
prosperous section could go to an.
cther section where conditions caused
stringent need, :
But the Federal Reserve is now in
the hands of Wall Street hecause Wall
Street is in control of the government
at Washington, Those rascalg use the
Federal Regerve to destroy their own
member banks wherever they may de
sire, There is a bank in Athens,
Georgia, today which stands as a
tragic example of the dastardly meth.
cig employeq in the Federal Reserve,
It had to close its doors because jt
bud an officer in charge who thought
something of the depusll.ors—-ru{umed!
to surrender three or four for one
of its collateral to the Federal Re
scrve for the stinted funds the Fed
eral Reserve offered to keep the doors
cpen,
~ When the officer found that he
would have to surrender all the bank’s
acgets to the fedoral Reserve on the
nmerging which those raseals demand
cd, he shook his fist in their faces,
went back home, closed the doors of
the bank and went to gathering in
the bank’s money it had out on per
feetly gooq paper and worked the
Lalance of hig time for the depositors.
He¢ wag one man with courage
cnough left in him to tell the Federal
laserve sharks where to get off. It
cloged his bank, but he thought more
¢/ his depositors than of the Federal
fieserve and he was right. And a
Federal Reserve system that is worth
e more now for the saving of the
banking interests of a section than
that *doesn’t deserve to exist. That
jractice has wrecked many banks of
late—wrecked one no further away
than Sylvester not long since — is
v.iecking them every day. It isn't a
thing but Wall Street domination—
tnd Wall Street domination today con
tinues to make all effort elsewhere a
joke, Georgia laws are not worth
anything to a group of Wgall Street
bunkers who throw federal laws to
the discard to suit themselves. |
Welborn and his Federal Reserve
Luddies ean demand three or four to
e in collateral from any Georgia or
[lorida bank and then take these as
scts, which consist of the collateral
these same banks have for their mon
¢y they have loaned out to their
cistomers, and step into the street
in ten minutes and sell at auction and
et back the Federal Reserve money
loaned to these Georgia and Florida
Lanks if these said Georgia and Flor
ica banks do not return their money
on call—whenever Welborn and his
Luddies call for it. Sometimes—nev
er for a longer period—the KFederal
Ileserve lends to these banks for a
reriod of ninety days. But when they
call for it, they get it because they
can sell at auction the entire assets
' any bank using them and leave the
Cepositors without a penny. That's
o law they have unto themselves.
Why should we worry about the
Georgia laws protecting the deposit
org when the Federal Reserve is lead
ing the way in destroying all the
lights the depositors may have in the
least say so about what goes with
ilhv assets of a bank?
The failures in Georgia were en
sineered by Wall Street, no matter
how much Boykin and other Atlanta
politicians ery wild cat speculation.
Manley and his gssociates in Atlanta
I'ad stock interests in the institutjons
that financed the Georgia chain, They
wight have spent the last dollar they
had in wild catting, but they could
not have destroyed the chain any fur
ther than they had stock interests
ana that is all they have done, if they
have done their worst., The Georgia
ftate Banks have a capital stock of
half a million dollers, When the
fruth comes out it will be found that
no wilg catter has squandered the
capital of these banks., Until it is
1l squandered, the depositors are
cafe, no matter what else may be said
~bout it,
AS TO SOUTH GEORGIA
For many years a great deal
has been said about a governor
from south Gerogia, The first
United States senator from south
Georgia is now filling that posi
tion very acceptably, and in his
campaign for re-election Mr.
George is receiving the support of
the people of thig section, le
- was reareqd in a neighboring coun
ty not more than twenty-five
miles from Dawson, and is looked
upon as homefolk by many here.
-Dawson News,
We think it is not in good taste to
gpeak of a section of the state in con
vection with any man filling public
office go long as the problem of fill.
ing the office with a good man is a
duty of the voters of the whole state,
We have never grown enthusiastic
over this and that claim about a
south Georgia man, We certainly
have the privileges of sending any
¢outh Georgian out after a state honor
in public office, We certainly have
ne handicaps over other sections,
‘When we have a good man we can of.
fer, and he is willing to go, it is juust
¢¢ much in good taste for us to sup
port him loyally as it is to sup,.rl
a good man with state wide affiiia
tions in polities.
But while we are on this subject
we want to protes: agalnst the offi
cioug over lordship tendency in At
lirta. That’'s the state capital, we
krow, but this fact doesn’t justify an
acsumption there that none of the
rest of us on the outside have a right
to a voice in making up the slate
and offering the man for the office.
Atlanta hag even a spirit of scorn for
an able man anywhere in the state
cutside its atmosphere of perfect po
litical allignments. That city has
too many politicians in it who cannot
think well of men on the outside who
ask for office, no matter what their
qualifications.
And again, Atlanta politicians feel
that they can defeat any man who
doesn’t get their consent to run, We
de not enjoy constant reference to it,
but that spirit was deeply and un
juetly manifested in the opposition to
Scnator Walter George. He is one‘
of the ablest members of the Unitml‘
States senate already. That honor is
being paid him from many sources
in this short time. He should prove
of much greater worth when he has
had time to understand more of the
ways of getting results, HHe will.
But in Atlanta Senator Walter George
cume from the little city of Vienna
in sonth Georgia, some two hundred
miles from the most southerly limit
of the city of Atlanta. Vienna possi
bly has as Tine a ¢itizéenship to the
square inch of area as has Atlanta,
but nothing outside of Atlanta is
worth anything, if we are to follow
thke trend of political thought in At
lanta.
It was that unworthy thought of
and .
offered in choice se
leetion of staple and
fancy groceries.

‘hluz that get the politicians of Atlanta

otion of Josiah Tilson as federal
judge in the middle district, where
the people had a right to demand one
of their own gas Jjudge. Threats
against Senator George in Atlanta put
Dick Russell in the race against him,
There was a clean, clear-cut effort in
Atlanta to shut him up in his fight
to keep Tilson from getting the place
in the middle district as judge-—all
that despite the fact that in principle
it would have heen no worse for Til.

“EMPHASIZE” THE HOGS.
Savannah Morn:ng New::
The Moultric Observer is a per
gistent and coucistent advocate of
incrcaging the hez produc-ion of the
gtate. Colquitt and her neighbor,
Brooks, know what can be done
with hogs, if any Georgii countics
know. They are stressine “emphasis”
on hogs—not pigs, but hefty hogs.
They advoeate selling corn “on the
hoof”—and growing inereased
yields of corn in order to have corn
to “drive to maiket.” Th: Observer
observes that tke banks of its town
are aggressively and progressively
encouraging in a materinl way hoy
production—for two reusons: Be
cause more hoze mean more moncy
in the county, «nd because wmore
hogs have proven to be good cecuvrvi
ty. The Observer points to anothcr
possibility in hoegs that has noi hith
erto been accented—the fact that
a crop and half « f hogs can te raised
in Souh Georgia each year. The
paper says:
Hogs can re rroduced in cight
months to reach an average
weight of from two hundred to
two hundred and fifty pounds: <

The farmer can make wne and a l
half crops of hogs a year at this
rate, {
Recently we have hoen toll
again that Ceorgia iz sending
large amounts of morey to the
Weat for meat. We do not oniy ‘
can raise this meat hor.¢ but we
can make mere ),mfit' on it
than we can cn other caszh creps. !
The only way we ean affora o
raise more corn in Geergic than
enough for tic farm ese where
it is raised, ig to improve the
land, increassa the vroduetion
and feed it to the hogs. The hogs
improve the land and they fur.
nich a market for the corn at the
same time.
The population of hogdom in Geor
gia i 3 not as high now a 3 was in 1924
Georgia nceds another “Pig Club”
l);)\vning on the job; he was the one
ageresgive per.onal force some
years ago in spurring Georgia
farms to a larocy population of pigs
—anid hogs. He worked in season
and out to bring up the swine herds
to a number that wou'd give dne
pig to each mun, woman and child
in the state; and when he was call
cd to another state the campaism!
lagged; many who had hogs sold
them when prices’ were 'a' little
higher than ‘wusual; and ' then they
failed to ‘“‘emphdsize” hogs in the
only way that counts—nrovide the
increazing multiplication of .the pig
population in o steady, accelerated
ratio. Not ever, county has dropved
off in the numker of hogs—while
the state as a whole has not in
creased the number of these of (-
cient mortgage-iifters; many coun
siecs—and almost all of them in
South Georgia-<have bLeen ineroos
ine steadily the number of heos,
The sales held periodically indicatle
that. And the<e countics while not
able to bring the state-asa-whoie
average up to what it sh.ald be, have
profited tremendously by the “em--
phasis” they have laid vpon the hog.
