Many a poor person enjoyed thel‘
Christmas .of 1926 in thifrcommunlty'
and those who made it possible are
the happler for it. ‘
It was & sane and sober—almost
sob,r — Christmas in these parts.
There was happiness everywhere —

sa(ll*e‘ss in those who were really sad.

: lg'v THIS I 8 NOT A WILSON
" The Greensboro Herald-Journal
g sh‘ys many folks who are against
Al Smith Dbecause he is a Cath
olfc are not honest enough to say
50 openly, but dodge behind the
liquor question. There is little
doubt about that. Woodrow Wil-
Son was just as wet as Al Smith,
for as president he vetoed the
Volstead act, and as the Herald
- Journal says, the democratic par
ty in New Jersey, which gave
Woodrow Wilgon to the nation,
was wet then, and is wet now.
~—Dalton Citizen.
But Al Smith is not another Wilson.
There % room, but there isn’'t any
world war to make such a statesman
out of him. The wets of New Jersey
didn't have a thing to do with the
greatness of Woodrow Wilson—neith.
er did the fact that New Jersey demo
crats are all ligquorites. Wilson had
sense enough to live on a plane too
high for religious prajudices and the,
liquor issue.
It Al Smith had starteq even in’
the direction of that great statesman
ship which guided Wodorow Wilson,
there would never be any question
here about whether Rome would. run
the American government when he
came into power as president. There
has been a Roman Catholic battle for'
power in this country all the time
since the great world conflict. It
is raging now. It isn't going to cease
till it is found that this country isn't
gbing to accept Romanism,
‘We are not afraid to say Roman
Catholicism is our chief opposition to
A'l Smith, We are not going under
cover vith this issue—don't have to.
We fige tasted Roman Catholic in
tolérnnce. The Roman Catholics of
the east cannot shame us for oppos
‘ing it. ‘They have flung that word
at us before—it 4sh’t’ new. If they
hadn't engaged in that wery business
first, we might-ghink otherwise,
WHAT ONE FARMER PLANS
| We heard a Crisp county farmer
talking the other day about his plans
’tor 1927, They were so good that
! we undertake to give some idea of his
[way out. We are not advising any
body—we do not know.
' But this farmer was one of the
i dependable two-horse type. He really
runs more farm than that, but he
made 27 bales of cotton this year and
thirteen tons of peanuts. The yield
of ehe latter was poor, but he attri
buted that to an irregular stand at
the start in the spring. His peanuts |
assured him more net money — not}
{ much more, but more—than did his
’cotton crop. But that is history —
the crop of 1926.
| He expects to cut his cotton acre
fage in half. This conclusion is a re
sult of a study of some well broken
land on the place this year in cotion.’
l’l‘he land that was broken—well-brok
en at the right time, seemed to hold'l
'lts fertilizer and the rains whlchi
. poured down in the early spring. The
‘cotton yield in the fall was so muchi
better than on the land tehded in the
:old way that he will have six well
broken acres to the plow next year,
las well fertilized as the 1998 crop—
‘but just half as large a fertilizer bill
'—and a cotton program with an aim
li’or just as many bales as he made
!lvn 1926. - Half the land, half the fer
tilizer, half the time in cultivation—
and an aim at just as many bales,
{That’s a good cotton program. .
[ The other surplus acres this farm
er expects. to put into peaputs and
‘tood crops. He has four or five goodl
'dairy cattle and plang laid for hog
!ralsing in 1927 80 l,herfz wiru\:;l_)s "‘ash
much cotton, twice as many peanuts,
three or four hundred dollars in but
ter fat returns, that and more in sales
'of fat—and every possible turn made
during the year to grow all the food
‘supplies needed on the farm.
~ This is the program of one farmer
for 1937; This man doesn’t seem to
be worrying over the future. This
has been a rather blank year with
hm,_gu} it came «5%“{.’59.9‘ plunging
in cotton along with many hundreds
‘of other farmers. i
The aim at the same cotton yield
on half the acreage s a feature in
the 1957 program of this farmer
‘which- is going' to brove interesting.
It is going to bo his secret of success
it he carries out his full purpose and
has fair seasons to aid him.
We have no advice to offer the
large land owner who runs many
i’lnrms in a tenant system with cotton
;ns the foremost crop. But we .can
commend this program for the farm
or with smaller acreage. The tenant
system is all built upon cetton. We
{hink we have some ‘farmers owning
'iarge plantations who would dive in
pio more cotton for 1927, even though
they knew it would bring no more
than ten cents a pound in the fall.
But in fairness to themselves, they
cught to know that the crop is going
to be produced at a marked decrease
in cost before they undertake it on
a large scale. They should know, too
—a thing which now seems impossi
ble— they ought to know that they
are going to be able to buy the
:‘thlngs they need in the way of farm
machinery and fertilizer supplies at a
cost much less than that they paid
for the supplies used in the making
of the crop of 1926. They cannot
afford to involve themselves heavily
because ten-cent cotton will not pay
out.
' We have to say that there is great
opportunity in our lands for the good
one, two, and three-horse farmer who
!knows how to give persbnal attention
lm the problem of greater production
at less cost. There might still be op
!portunlty for the larger operator were
tit possible for him to have worth
lwhlle help. _ But that involves schools
-and better health conditions — more
tatk.

" WE'LL BITE—WHY I 8 1T?"}
i May be you can answer this
one for us? Why have the whole
state vote on the judges and so
licitor generals of the various ju
dicial circuits of the state in the
general election, when the nomin
ations are made by the circuits
only? The whole state ddes not -
1 vote on all the congressmen, then
~ why vote on all the judicial cir
cuit officers? It makes the state
ticket a great deal longer, which
is about the only thing we see
that it accomplishes—Tifton Ga
zette,
, Well we do mnot mind getting
stung—why is it? This thing has
tbeen a matter of speculation with
us. Why should the judges and so
ligitors have to be carried all over
lthe state to all the voters, in the
general elections when in just the
circuits where they work are they
chosen in the primaries? This, too,
despite the fact that the primary is
the real election, Some legislator
ought to get hold of the law and
trim this feature. All the state might
Just as well have to vote on each
'genator and each member of the low-
er house, both in congress and the
state general assembly..
By what process of reasoning did
this thing come about? The wrong
election is circulated. That in which
the officer is really mamed is the
election that counts. llf that had to
carry the voters of all the state, it
would be a long way for a candidate
to have to go, but it might be re
versed—we mean the conditions. If
we could elect the judges and solicit
ors in their own circuits, but circu
late them, there might be great good
:re‘sulting from a more impartial ad
ministration. But still the reach of
political influence is like kerosene in
a pantry. It goes through everything.

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
has been started. The newspaper, La
Nacion, published a bitter attark on
the United States in an editorial with
the sarcastic headline, ‘“Pan-Ameri
canism,” g
~ “The Argentine Rural society, with
a membership of several thousapd in
‘all parts of the republic, has adopted
the motto, “Buy from those who
patronize us.” - The occasion for the
present boycott is the prohibition laid
down by the United States against
the importation of Argentine chilled
beef. .La 'Naéion, after citing scien
tific authorities to prové that the foot
‘and Mouth disease cannot be trans
mitted in dressed beef, declares that
the embargo imposed by the Unitcd

venting any cdmgetition with the

PNEUMONIA
Persistent coughs and colds lead to seri
ous trouble. You can stop them now with
Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that
is pleasant to take, Creomulsion is a new
medical discovery with two-fold action; it

and inhibits germ dgro‘wth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele
ments which sootl:e: and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and’
inflammation, while the creosote goes on
to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs. 0T )
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms of respiratory diseases, and is
cxcellent for building up the system after
colds or flu.- Money refunded if any cough
or cold is not relieved after taking accord
