Local people are ohserving arborl
day in fine spirit. We see useful,
‘orhamental trees being planted in
“many places. We wonder if we
\pight suggest to our property owners{
niong the new paving north of town
that they can now beautify with dog‘

were a hower of roses and dogwood
—and then in tippro;nchlug summer
‘the ecrepe myrtle would assume /a
fine role of posing for approval. ;
Number one hogs are bringing‘

cotten. The volume of hog sales isn‘t‘
large. enough in Crisp. It ought to
Tave been good all along. Then the
drop in cotton would not have made
m{fii’fbhslonable sign. If we ride
o “olbfles on the farm—and we are]
for the farmer auto owner as long
as‘we are for any other kind of au(o}
owner—we must make the farm in
come larger. We must produce moro‘
for market — more for cash. Ilogs‘
bring the money. They always selll
for something. Up or down, we ought
to have hogs to sell and extra feedl
in the barn. Have you ever heard
that type of farmer saying he was in
actual need of things he could not
have?
‘" THAT 8188 ROAD DEBT
¢ yThe Macon Telegraph makes
* the magnanimous suggestion that
Bibb county cease its efforts to
; - «collect $730,00¢ from the State
_ Highway department ang abide
“‘ its time— which was what Bibb
: agreed to do when the money was
put up for the paving in that
county.—Tifton Gazette.
There jsmw't a thing in the world onf
our md@ fht,l‘mdisdbsitmn to regard
the Bibb debt as an obligation which
must sometime be paid.; Bupy 'itV."'ls
the truth that Bibb county ag‘ro;:d to
wait till the state x»i,vs(cm was com-‘}
pleted befopeyite soughtpto- gefr back
what it ha&%fi*{?flf}%fing&){o:
other spirit will be a true or fair :u»f
titude. We cannot help how kmg———;
we cannot help what is construed as
a completed system—we cannot help‘
how angry some Macon folks get —
we don’t get frightened when someo
of them paw the dirt forty feet into
the ajr. It is simply Bibb's duty to
wait along with the other counties
till the rest of the state system is
completed—till the paving that is go
ing to be done in a state system is
complete. If that is fifty years, then
it .is a wait of that period. That's
all there is that fair-minded people
have a right to expect.
ifie are not running for office ——‘
ibb county. But we are for pav
efl highways in Georgia. Many other]
mties have done just what Blbbl
did— issued bonds for paving and
jey are now becoming a burden.
gfiiy taxes have to be levied to
meet the payments. This will go on
in other counties as long as it goes
in Bibb. Bibb is a rich county. None
of the others are so well fixed. A
lo"r‘y";(or paving bonds will prove a
more annoying burden to them. Bibb
has least excuse for worrying.
fi;‘;fiw&kiu for at least one person,
we do not want any lobbying around
the legislature next summer when the
state highway system is to be remov
ed from politics. We want that thing
done and done well, If Bibb’s rep
resentatives go there bound to get
legislation providing for the return of
IBibb)s money—and that i sa likely
’thlng—they will go bargaining in ad
’vance. They will be ready to support
‘the other fellow’s measure if the oth
er fellow will agree to help them get
back their paving money. And the
}\vorthmess—the wisdom—of the oth
er fellow’s legislation will not matter
1-“" much, So with Bibb. We do not
iwant any legislative sqguabble over
the return of the paving money. But
iplease don’t let any more countiss
iissue bonds for paving. It ig unwise.

ALL 1S WELL AT SEVENTY-NINE
The other day a little personal news
’item appeared in this newspaper say
ing that an old citizen—a pioneer in
these parts—wag ill at his home in
this city. Just this morning a mes
sage came over the phone to the
editor. The editor wasn’t in his place
at the moment so as to be able to
receive thig message, but it came.
El‘hls pioneer gdvlsed in a strong,
@léar voice that he was well—well ag
an¥hody could Do 4t seventymine,
..c;?r_ha;tm‘éame to usffu& it w'a,
given, we suppose, and nm\;_yg have
to say that the world anticibaites ‘too
lilél.‘:’fitwmt g)%sx;?ed that Dr. W,
8.4 YAME & K Apbl b
B. “M?irshn_ll was feeble — may be,
somebody had heard it. Now;we have
2n excuse to say it isn't s 0 and an
opportunity to write about age. Dr.
Marshall is seventy-nine—and well,
What a blessing! Here is one who
has stood the storms of life for more
than his three score and ten years
and is able to read where somebody
reports him as ill anq ready to set
’h, right early in the morning, to re
port all well.
Dr, Marshall was a physician in this
cpction as far i:?ck_,{_?q‘}fltty years ago.
He was a goed one<-remained wlth
that record until ‘advnncin;g_l years
took him out of acllve'harneh}s. { And
now within the faxilily homlp he is
still active, alert, jolly, and kéeps up
with all live issues—knows what is
jgolng on and is ready with a wise
man’s answer for those who question.
* These eyes never fall upon any one
who is carrying well his yeprs that
the thought doesn't immediately fol
low that age is a blessing! to :;sm‘h
a person. If we ever live. tlu{» ugh
the storms of life to this stutlz; in
years, we are going to count it a dis
tinet evidence that we have been
singled out for the bleszings that can
come only from the Giver of Life.
They are few—those who live to Dr.
Marshall's age and over. They are
still fewer who live this long and
have not so many informities that
life is a misery instead of a joy. The
aged who ave happy — who have a
gmile and a pleasant word for those
who_ come into ‘_fto:fich with them —
what & Bénediction is every ‘sul‘ch‘: life
in the sunset and fading twilight!
With such perscn it must be a Mere
transition—a slipping away fgplm;tthis
world intg the Great Disb:lfil::vshtion'
wh‘e}fe _pvcrything is joy an#?‘i{hc;fect

Another thought—how rare i<s' the
aged person who smiles—who lives a
happy life—how rare is such a per
son without an anchored faith in the
Muture. We challenge you—doubting
vouth—we challenge you to call the
voll of those who have been through
the stiuggles of this world down to
the ripe age of eighty years yet with
a happy smile of contentment and
assurance—we challenge you to show
us that type of aéed person who isn't
anchored in a strong faith--faith in
the Eternal Hereafter in some sub
stantial form. Ask them—one by onol
—yow'll get back what life and the
vears of contact with the material
world, love and hate, peace and
strife, wisdom and lack of it—you’ll
‘eet back a summed up account that
‘will have the golden thread of Faith
running through both warp and woof
_every time you'll get back out of
the scintiilating sparkle through wrin
kle-crowned eyes. windows of the
soul. a something that will tell you
such pilgrim counts 'the journey still
cafe and secure—life's worth Rving

of the presence of the happy aged
person. Though the hono:z of men
may never have fallen upon him il
age comes, then of all persons, what
a privilege to honor the aged!
A CLOSE-UP ON AL SMITH
One gcod editor—Old Man Shope—
Young Mr. Shope—Editor Shope of
the Dalton Citizen—drew a year’s sub
scription payment from a subscriber
fn New York the other 'day, . and
along with it the richest dissertation
on Al Smith we have struck in :u;y‘
form in a long time. 1
The letter #peaks so well for if-‘
gelf that there isn’t anything lelt t
do but to print it—it is about a livo
topic in Georgia just at this timic.
It comes from New York—direct!y o
the heart of the Al Smith field of ac-:
tivity. Here it is: ¢ ‘
To the Editor of The Dalton Citizen:l

Al? Religion? No! Prohibition? Hell,
no! Tammany aftiliation? To a great
degree. Personal ability and qualifi
cation? Yes, emphatically- ‘
In the first place you, like most
people, have taken the position that
his office as governcr of a *great”
state makes him a ‘great” governor
and certainly a “great” ‘man. The
reagoning of a child enables the child
to conclude that Grant was “great”
because he happened to. be at thef
helm of a ‘“great” army at?the con
clusion_of a “great” war, . The Kid |
is all wrong, but no more $o than,
you. Strip Al Smith of his herbic
smile, thke frohy It his honots and:
leave ‘him with all he has learned
from them and rob him of all those
embellishments which attach to one!
who has been the hero of the great"
unwashed, untutored and uncivil mob.!
ang what have you left? i ]
You have simply “Fred Smith,” :m"‘
ordinary ward politician, profimziul‘i

into secluzion with his mistakes and
goes to the house tors when he's
lucked a popular point. - You have :1‘
man who will try to slip them a pa-}
role on a felon, six times convicted,
to please an east side gang of vote
getters, and when the chairman of
the prison commission produces his
executive order to ju:‘tify his own po-,

side with one hand and Wall street

the building of cheap tax-free tene
ments for one and who indulges most
patronizing laws for the other.
You have a cad who addresses his
hearers as “youse guys” and Wwho
calls an adversary a ‘“doity skunk”
over the radio. (Happcned at New
Rochelle during last campaign.)
You have an unlearned Yankee who
champions the cauze of the negro ag
a social and political factor until the
pulse of a demccratic convention re
veals to him that such will get him
sowhere in his national political as
sirations.
You have a man who talks one
(hing while climbinz up Broadway
and who takes a contradictory posi
tion while seeking a pcsition in Wash
ington,
You have a natrow bigot who sup
ports Catholic charities out of state
and city funds on the pretext of car
tying on “social service” ‘amcng pris
onerg and those accused of crime.
You have one who appoints , and
smiles upon the judge who sends
street waifs to reformatories suppori
ed by the state and the Catholic
careh/§6intly/ You have abigot who
places an' emissary of the pope upon’
an actual throne in the city hall‘f ani

should catch Calvin Coolidge scurry

trees, running over people and seal

Bishop Candier somewhere on his an
atomy, you'd say he should be tapped
for the simples. That's what I think
abhout Fred.
And then the writer adds this in-j
teresting postscript: o
\P,'S. T sat through the last demo

delegation—that is, I was ‘“on the
floor’—thanks to one or two good
friends on that delegation. My badge
got me into several arguments about
your friend, -Al, with a Tammany
leader assigned to “pull” the Georgia
delegation. Of course I was a hypo
crite—anyway, he pouldn’t argue with
out getting mad, so he’q cnd up by
saying “Youze muyst be a kluxer.”” I
