Huerta says he will resign when Mexico is “pacified.” From the picture above you can guess how soon that will be.
STAND BY GEORGIA INDUSTRIES
The Lavonia Times is one of the best and most intelligently
edited weeklies in Georgia. The Times' editor, Rush Burton,
keeps a vigilant eye on his immediate section, and when L 2 sees
something going wrong there, he tells about it, not sensationally,
but frankly and honestly. .
He believes Georgia to be ‘‘the garden spot of all creation,”’
and when he observes Georgians about him failing to make the
best of their great opportunities, he gets in behind them, and he
undertakes to show them the error of their ways.
He is a builder, is Burton—maybe a builder in a modest
way and in a rather definitely circumscribed environment, but a
very worthy builder, nevertheless.
Not a great while ago Editor Burton looked about him in
the Lavonia section and found that the people of that beautiful
and rich locality were overlooking some mighty important mat
ters. They were not getting in as close touch with the cities as
they should, and they were not geiting the cities in as close
touch with them as seemed desirable.
Here is what Editor Burton said to the people of Lavonia
and vicinity:
The Times editor made a lit
tle journey around town to two
of the grocery stores in Lavonia
recently to learn where the
grocers' canned goods came
from. Permission from the
grocer was granted to look
through his stock. The first can
we picked up contained choice
peaches, the kind that we all
like so well and often buy. They
were canned in California. This
was a severe shock, but we re
covered soon, hoping to find the
next article grown in Georgia.
The next cap we picked up con
tained choice apples.
They were canned in New
Nork State. Not to be outdone,
we went for a can of corn in
bopes that we could find at least
@ near-heme product in the list

of canned goods. To our utter
surprise we found that the corn
was canned in Maine. We con
tinued our investigations through
the stock and found that the
greater part of the stock except
the articles mentioned above
came from Maryland and Dela
ware.
We want to be fair with Geor
gia. We found one lot of Geor
gia canned peaches which the
grocer said were of a fair qual
ity. Also we found one lot of
canned peaches which were put
up in South Carolina.
We are not making the great
people that the Alnrighty in
tended that we should make.
The section in which we live
has everything uaecessary to
make our country the greatest
and most prosperous country the
sun shines on. In parts of the
Western country they buy water
for the crops, and pay some
times as much as $2O a year for
water to go on one acre of land.
Up in_ the North and North
west, where much of our beef
comes from, they have to keep
their cows in barns eight months
in the year to keep them from
freezing, and ship our cotton
seed meal and hulls up there to
There are two points in particular involved in the foregoing
conclusions and observations of Editor Burton that are im
portant.
Farmers should diversify their crops more in Georgia, and
the country should be brought into more intimate touch with
the cities.
The State of Georgia annually sends forth millions of dol
lars to bring to Georgia products that might more cheaply be
had in Georgia of Georgia people. We have made some marked
improvement in matters of that kind of late years, to be sure—
there are many things raised and manufactured by Georgians
nowadays that twenty years ago came regularly from abroad—
but there yet is much room for further improvement.
We ought to raise and manufacture many more things at
home than we do—the Lavonia Times is right about that!
It is a matter of statistical proof, too, that ten $lO,OOO in
dustries generally are worth much more to a community than
one $lOO,OOO industry—and it is just as true, perhaps, that ten
$l,OOO industries are more valuable than one $lO,OOO industry.
We have no doubt that a number of small canneries located
in the section considered by The Times would find ready and
profitable market for their products throughout Georgia and
the South.
Everything that serves to bring into more intimate and
friendly touch the rural and the urban sections of Georgia tends
girectly to the happiness and the substantial prosperity of the
tate.

feed them on. They have 100
days less in their grazing period
than we do.
We buy hay from the North
west, and pay more freight than
it costs us to grow the same
article.
Now, Franklin County citizens
do not buy hay and beef from
the Northwest, but Atlantans do,
and they would rather buy it
from us out here in Franklin
Tounty, if we had it to sell.
