HERE WAS OUR TROUBLE
There seem to he citizens who yet
ask what was the trouble with the
Crisp county power amendment in
Savannah—that five thousang votes
were piled up against it in the gen
eral election in Chatham. Here is
an answer—an answer written by a
respectable, veliable up-standing citi
zen of Savannah who has a reputa
tion for telling the truth. Ilere inj
w.ha&_ he says—his own words:
‘For thirty years the Stone and
Wlekstq{ interest has had control of
evSr; coqp(y officer, jury commission
03': and registrar in Chatham county.
'ljyo solicitor-general is too ill to he
seen about the matter, the judge of
the Superior court takes the position
that it s a question for the grand
jury and the foreman of the gmndl
Jury is out of the city. So you see
how the machine is able to hamper
and delay until the people of Savan
nah forget. The newspapers here
will not help' us with any publicity
that can pessibly cdo any good in
arousing sentiment against the crooks
of the power company. The court
house ring has so packed the jury
hox with men () whom they con
trol that it fs almost impossible to get
twolve honest jurors in court at one
time,’ 'l‘hi%‘nitu:ulon can not he
changed ‘nn't‘ we get either a Judge
or Solicitor-General in the Superior
court herelflho is not. under the
thumb of the corporate interests. If
you good !nntry people will keep
this conditiog in mind two years
from now and help us clean Chatham
coimty up, every honest citizen of
Savannah “Jll “call you blessed.”
‘“We are really apprehensive that
the usual whilewash methods will be
applied in-'atly investigation which
might be made for Crisp county. The
matter has been investigated from
several angles ‘but nobody here can
find any authority for filing a con
test when the election has been won
by the vartigs ‘aggrieved.”
It will readily be seen from this
intormauoxfg that Bo contest can be
filed by anybody in Savannah or here
in this election due to the fact that
fiv'e have won our cause. It will have
to become an issue .as, to violation
of the laws of the state in the con
.éuct t‘)t;t,he election and only a grand
“’ul:x p"robef!")"f', fi. &rosgs corruption
can be had. This, it is fully explain
ed in the ihfor'mftfion given already.
will be bound tao result in a probe
of its own crookedness by the Stono:
& Webster ring in ,Savannah. u}
Stone & Webster probe their mvni
crookednegs, they will pronounce it
a fine day’s work.
It is hard for the general public
in Savannah to believe what the Crisp
county power fight has disclosed —
that there is so much corruption in
Savannah politics. It is without ques:
tion the most daring, most flagrant,
open-faced, brazen, election steal we
have ever found bumping into our
affairs.
That effort was an effort to beat
the Crisp county power development
~—an effort to steal it and one fell
swoop. Savannah good people may
go on in that sort of condition, hut
here we mean to protest. DPeople of
Crisp county are used 10 honesty—
a fair measure of it—at the ballot
box. We, too, have the Australian
ballot, ‘but nebody goes into our
booths and deliberately votes the ab.
sentees ofi a ticket made to order.
The last erooked scoundrel having to
do with sucx act here would al
kmady be ,headékor the pen. It
would not be tolerated anywhere else
in Georgia. Savannah would be among
lh'e first to squall if corrupt politics
here affected a measure in - which
Savannah was as vitally interested as
were Crisp county folks in the power
development,
We are glad as can be that we won
in spite of the crgoks in Savannah,
but we are sorry—gorry indeed—that
our voctory shut us out from initiat
ing a contest against the Chatham
election steal,

AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK ‘
American Education Week, Novem
ber 7-13th, is sponsored by the Na
tional Education Association, the
American Legion, the American Bar
Assgociation, and the Daughters of the
Amerfcan Revolution, American Edu
cation Weck ig promoted by 154 na
tional organizations urging the peo
ple, the county and municipal officials,
the religious, civie, philanthropie, his
torical, and %ocial organizations to
availl themselves of this nation-wide
opportunity to study educational con
ditions, the problems arising out of
same, and the meang and methods
for their solution, the problems to he
considered to be local, county, state,
and national in scope,
Frank €, Cross ,National Director of
"he American Legion, says. “The
'Amerlcah Legion has no greater mis
"don than to render service to Amer
‘ican educators and educational insti:
tutions. We. look upon the. s¢hool
room as the laboratory 'of _America'é
future. It is our sincere wish that
you will afford us every opportunity
to serve you.” Governor Clifford
Walker in his proclamation says,
“These educational needs are a chal
lenge to consecration and action. Kv
ery effort must he put forth to pro
vide every child in the “Empire
State of the South” that educational
opportunity which his need and hlsl
capacity demand.” State Superinten
dent Land in his letter to the super
ntendents and teachers of the state
urges them to “Secure the coopera
tion of all organizations and agencies
in carrying out a program in their
respective communities that will brlm:‘
about a more intengive interest in
their work in the public school.” I
. The importance of public eduvutio)}ul
and therefore the impoctance of Lhu!
devotion of a week to a study of the |
problems of education together with
the means and methods for their so
lution can not be overestimated as
is evidenced by the following facts.
Two billion three hundred thirty-’
six million dollars were spent on pub
lic schools of America during the ses
sion of 1925 and '26. This is indeed
v large sum and yet the national
wealth of America in 1922, according
to the United States Department of
,Commerce, was three hundred and
twenty-one billion dollars and the
average vearly income of the United
States according to the National Bu
reau of Economic Research was six
ty-five billion dollars. While Ameri
ca spent two Dbillion dollars for
schools the value of agricultural and
manufactured products in 1923 accord
ing to the United States Department
of Agriculture and Bureau of Census
amounted to seventy-seven billion dol
lars. While the two billion dollars
‘spent for education in the United
States impresses us ‘with the import
‘ance of America's unique and most
important undertakings, the great
need for education in a democratic
state and nation and the great na
tional wealth, average yearly income,
and value of agricultura] and manu
jfactured products clearly indicates
"lhm we are not vet spending as
'large a sum for education as our
needs and our ability justify.
[ While America spends‘ two billion
‘dollars for education thig amounts to
:ouly 3.6 per cent of thefiflntlon's aver
‘age annual income, while according
!m Dr. Wilford L. King, America’s
;,L'.romest authority on income in the
United States, 15.6 per cent of the na
tion's annual income was saved and
;6 per cent, or a larger amount thuul
for education, was spent for insur
'ance. While America spent two bi!-1
'lion dollars for education she spent,
'tor cigars, cigarettes, and tohacco an’
'vquul amount, and for soft drinks,
ficc-crcam. chewing-gum and candy
:her people spent one billion seven
.h\mdred fifty million dollars, and for
theatres, movies and amusements the
total arount of one billion doli-rs. I
If democracy is to be made safe
for the world through education, and
it our democratic state and our nu-:
tion, founded upon republican prlncl-I
ples, is to be perpetuated and 800
forward, it must have a happy and
enlightened electorate, To achlcvej
this laudable ambition means that we |
must place a higher vaule upon uni.!
versal education and wisely spend n!
greater proportion of our lncome.'!
Nothing is so dangerous to the public |
welfare and so expensive as imxorancc!
yet ten million children of school ngtr!
were not enrolled in the schools in|
the United States in 1924 and l\\'n;
hundred thousand of them wers in
Georgia while an additional one hi o
dred fifty-six thousand of those whe
did enroll in Georgia scheools wern tmf
some cause ahsent each day t‘m-.i
schools were in session, |
Should we observe American Edu
cation Week when in our experiment
with the democratic form of govern
‘mem. there are five million people in
iLhe United States over ten years of
age who by their own admission are
illiterate and while in Georgia there
are sixty-seven thousand whites and
two hundred sixty-one thousand ne
groes who can neither reag nor write.
Eight hundred twenty-five million dol
lars is the ,awnual econgmic -lass d
to nmera::y éonséduefitl.\l" .;nationlg
ecorfomics demands that.we do-wht
is necessary for .the- elimination of
illiteracy. Two hundred fifty miilion
dollars 13 108¢ in :the\ United States
due to trregular, attendance angd Afour
millfon dollars ‘was lost in Georgia
due to pupils repeating the- same
grade one or more years. These con
ditions make eduncation one of the
greatest cconomic problems Georgia

E & #;!'l'._l Wood at all, w'.u:m we

‘ convention.—Adel News,
Now, here goes community gossip
“gain, It cannot be kept down. Who
should worry about Joe Wood hecause
he made the “keynoter” address at
the state convention? Why charge
that the klan was ruaning the conven
tion? To he sure, Joe is rated as a
klansman, and some other men there
—some of them state leaders:—were
kKlansmen but it was a ighty fine
convention—our man was being nomi
