THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1925.
Practical jokes are “practical”
outside of business hours.
Savannah Preit: Peach
last ycu are created. May you
drop from the parent stem.
We hope everybody is
“sold” on the plan of thinning
es at the proper time.
Walton Tribune: Here’s a
Year greeting to the prohibition
forcement officers and a hope
all the busthead factories may
put out of business during 1925.
The Jackson Progress-Argus,
view of Jackson’s “splendid record
far as fire losses go," is
against fire insurance rates that
“entirely too high.” Interesting,
say the least.
Bainbridgr Poat-Srarrhliifhl: The
r an that is trying to hog the
for free Space for some pet hobby
don't put much valuation on space at
nil. Yet when you ask them to put
ttle . ame value on their ware, they go
tip in the air.
Jackson, Butts county, is begin¬
ning: a campaign for street* paving.
Jackson is one of the best towns in
Georgia, and she cannot afford to let
her streets remain unpaved. They
make the wrong impression on visi¬
tors. Unpaved streets for such a fine
town as Jackson are too expensive
in their influence upon the opinions
of prospective settlers and investors.
The Atlanta law-onforment confer¬
ence will accomplish much good, we
hope but nothing will ever really get
tis. anywhere except a spirit of respect
for and observance of the law around
our homes and firesides. For instance
the prohibition law never will be en¬
forced except through the people’s re¬
linquishment of their “private per
fonai reservations” for “medicinal”
and other purposes. And we'-v a long
way from that.
We 1! bet there isn’t another edi¬
tor in the world who gets as much
of joyful feasting as does this lucky
writer. Peach ^county is certainly
God’s country, ns much as any neck
o’ the, woods of which Editor McIn¬
tosh, of the Albany Herald, ever
dreamed. Now J. A. L. Wilson comes
in again with a lot of those superior
delights, syrup and pecans; and next
Tuesday night will see us with our
feet stuck under a table, enjoying
a Peach Products Dinner. By the way.
that backbone. sausage, etc.,—no.
John Howell, Jim Williams and Fi¬
nest Camp, not chit-lings!—sent in
by Senator and Mrs. Joe Davidson
during the holidays was better than
any turkey, even if we had got one.
If this luck keeps up we’ll have to
start a special department for this
sort of doggone good thing.
' RELIGION IN PEACH
It is a significant fact that, in the
whole ambitious “Peach County Pro¬
gram,” (he first feature of it in which
results are actually realized is (hit
of religious expansion, with the form¬
al organization of the Peach County
Business Men’s Evangelistic Club.
Chamber-of-Commerce and othercom
niittees please take note.

BILL ANDERSON
Savannah Preu: Bill Anderson’s
card on the Governorship seems to
have left his friends guessing. Some
eay he’s running for Governor and
some say he aint. Anyway Ship start
ed off his Baptist ministerial career
by putting his boss in deep water.

missioner resounding in our ears, we

are reminded that this is the
who, in h:s campaign last
sent out a form order to
newspaper. 1 ' for advertising,
his own price regardless of the
ous newspapers’ rates, in many
proving himself qualified for any
of job as “commissioner” by
ing the rates and thu retaining
‘ comnti ~i>>n.” “Take it or leave
was, in effect, his order.
GEORGIA’S NEW YEAR
RESOLUTION
Wa.hington New.-Reporter: If
vcri' asked to write Georgia’s
Year resolution it would be short,
to the point. Something to this
“Whereas, politics never profits
one but the politician seeking
and, whereas, all offices are
for (he next two or three y -arx;
whereas, a house divided against
self amounts to d—n little; and,
whereas, Georgia has already
ed because of lack of co-ordinated ef
firt on the part of ali the people.
Therefore, be it, Resolved, That poli¬
tics are taboo for two years, while
1 the people of the state combine their
strength in an effort to head off
some of the thousands of home-seek¬
ers yearly passing through Georgia’s
fertile fields to buy sanddoones in
Florida. ”
HAVE YOU PAID YOUR

A MERRY Christmas and a MAR¬
VELOUS record! In rcsporjhe to our
recent Christmas subscription appeal
many good subscribers paid up their
subscriptions and made the holidays
happy for ye editor. NOT A SINGLE
subscriber has stopped his paper, and
MANY NEW subscribers have been
added.
Arc YOU one of those who have
paid? Look at the date on the label
of your paper. Is i. behind January 8,
1925? Then hitch up your galluses
and . into . . the ., fold of those . be

loved friends who are paying up and
helping us gather strength for mak

greater power for development and
progress in this chosen spot of God’s
vineyard. And tell everybody you

subscribers to The Leader-Tribune.
THE LEADER-TRIBUNF. S
POLICIES
The Leader-Tribune is a medium
of public service as well as a bus*
ness institution. Its columns will be
denied to nobody within legitimate
requirements us long as this editor
is at the helm. There is no influence
of any nature, political, financial, sec¬
tarian or personal, no matter how
powerful, that can interfere with this
editor's application of this policy,
with fairness and justice as he shall
see it. Hut The Leader-Tribune IS
a business institution. It must pro¬
tect itself and make a living. Its own¬
er must draw a clear line of dis
tinction between that which is legit
mmte matter for free publication and
that which, although presumably of
such nature, is really publicity in the
nature of advertising or propaganda
for which payment at advertising
rates should he made. Nothing’ could •

CHURCHES AND ADVERTISING
The Commission of Evangelism
the Federal Council of
I meeting in Washington recently^
clared practically in favor of the
“teaching of the gospel in
advertising.” "Call people to the
church in a steady campaign of news
paper advertising,” is Ihe advice of
that body. The discussion brought out
•several facts.
The newspapers are friendly to the
churches, that the newspapers recog¬
nize that church news is good news
i:> more ways than one, news that in
(crests or should interest somebody
at least in almost every American
family.
The further, keener conclusion was
reached: That papers, can in the logic
of the newspaper policy and carry
only the “news” of the churches, and
that the advertising columns in paid
for space can say what the best judg
ment of the earnest church people

Why Throw Your Money Away?
No wise man ever will try to COMPEL another person to spend his
money at home. That is not the way to get the desired results.

K0 - we after close study of conditions in Fort Valley,
! that there is nothing more essential to this city’s proper growth and sue
j cess than a conviction in the hearts and minds of our people that they
I must make more than ordinary efforts to keep their - money in their - own
I community household.
You can find most of the things you want in Fort Valley. Merchants
can obtain for you - many of the things which they do not already have in
stock, if you will show a good, sound, loyal spirit of patience. The average
of costs will show you in a year’s time that you have saved money by
trading at home. Sit down and figure out the cost of the goods you go to
another city to buy, including the railroad fare, or expense of motoring,
meals, etc., to say nothing of time consumed. '
There are exceptions, of course, when you must go away from home
to get what you think you need, but they are few. Buy everything possible
at home and soon your merchants will he encouraged to put in stock other
things that you desire. Thus we will be, indeed, BUILDING A CITY HERE.
Every dollar spent away from home is LOST. Every dollar spent at
home is kept here, working, paying taxes, doing its powerful part in con¬
structive progress, and is always in your available field of business or ;
profession offering you an opportunity to get it back.
A number of business men and citizens, in a page advertisement in
today’s Leader-Tribune earnestly appeal for co-operation in trading at
home. They ask you to join them in trading, one with 'another, at home, I
keeping our own blood in our own veins to make the civic body stronger.
It is like the transfusion of blood. Why engage in a mad transfusion of
our civic strength into the arteries of greedy foreign cities who already
laugh as they boast of the foolish thing we do? Let our transfusion of
civic strength from day to day be into the friendly, co-operative bodies
of our neighbors—those upon whose success must depend largely our fu
lure survival as a proud city and the actual value and profit of our own
individual properties and careers.

prepare as “copy”—an appeal, facts
argument, even some information
which the news columns could not
present. Therefore, said the commis
sion “take over the available means
of reaching the people; churches
spend money in folders and letters
and cards, they pay money to have
the bell rung, they have appropriated
other modern facilities and conveni¬
ences—the electric light, the appa¬
ratus for giving deaf persons a
good chance to hear the message,
the systematic business methods in
handling church finances, the modern
institutional chureh, the best of musi¬
cal instruments—everything but gen'
eral use of the newspaper advertising
space. The commission went on to
say:
They are the people, many of them
friendly to the church, but indiffer
ent, that we want to reach in this
campaign. The church has never real¬
ized the wonderful opportunity of
the advertising columns. Too often
it has been satisfied with using them
for mere announcements of service
and 'though this has its place and is
worth while, the church must realize
its greater task of using advertising
for the story of salvation.
If advertising is good for busine-s
then according to the devoted church
• | people themselves there is no better 1
business than that of developing and
expanding and visualizing the church
—and advertising ought not to be al
iwed to serve only material and mer
cenary and amusement institutions,
adds the Savannah Morning News.
