A Prayer
Give me clean hands, clean words,
and clean thoughts; help me to stand
for the hnrd light against the easy
wrong; save me from habits that
harm; teach me to work as hard and
play as fair in Thy sight alone as if
the whole world saw; forgive me
when I am unkind, and help me to
forgive those who are unkind to me;
keep me ready to help others at some
cost to myself; send me chances to
do a little good every day and so
grow more like Christ.—Wm. De
Witt Hyde.

Georgia Makes Progress
In spite of everything said to the
contrary Georgia has made more sub¬
stantial progress in the last six years
than ever made in any similar period
in the history of the state. We have
built creameries, established hatch¬
eries, developed the peach industry,
grown new money crops, such as pea¬
nuts, pecans, pimento peppers, etc.,
etc. Georgia is doing mighty well.
and is destined to do much better in
the near future—Jackson Progress-,

Editor Gordon S. Chapman, of the
Sandersville Progress, has returned i 1
from Richmond and other points in
Virginia, New York and the Atlantic '
ocean, after a month’s trip with the
National Editorial Association, j i
n
the meantime, the senior editor, C.
B. Chapman, had been away for five
weeks in the Ozark mountains. Edi¬
tor Chapman’s first act upon his re¬
turn is very properly to commend
the excellent work of J. Frank Jack
son, who had served as acting edi¬
tor and manager. We editors have I
such revelations frequently when we
escape from captivity, yet, as we
have remarked before, let us hope
that the editor, after all, is not al¬
together an unnecessary evil.
If we had to choose between a cow
and an automobile we would not hesi¬
tate to take the cow. Not, that we
have anything against the automo¬
bile; not that we do not like to ride
in the things. In many instances, they
are necessities. In many others con¬
veniences. In others, luxuries. They
are here to stay. But you can’t feed
a family on automobiles. Good rich
milk is better for children than gaso
line. Cows never run into a ditch and
wound or kill the owner. If we had
as much money invested in good
milk cows, as we have in automo
biles, and if we were prepared to
properly care for those cows, we
would be ready to form a dairy asso¬
ciation in Commerce that would be
an asset, instead of a liability—Com
snerce News.

No nation ever became so
that it could endure in the face
broad disrespect for law. The
est need in the whole world today is
for the world’s hope as a
America, to re-dedicate herself
respect for and allegiance to her
sacred Constitution and laws.
One thing is certain, in the
of the history of the rise and fall
nations: America must bring her
laws within the range of her peo¬
ple’s respect, or her people must tear
themselves from blindness and rally
as an invincible host of patriots
the banner of law observance.
A nation—a government—and
people cannot march long in
ways any more than either the head
or the heart can live one without the
other.

There is room in Butts county for
nn expansion of the peach industry.
Some years ngo a number of farmers
began to plant peach trees in an ef¬
fort to have an income when cotton
failed. The trees are now coming into
bearing and this season promises to
be a profitable one. Peaches fail
times, just as all other crops,
on the whole the peach industry
appears to be a safe and dependable
source of income. The money comes
nt a season of the year when it is
certainly appreciated. The red hills
of Middle Georgia produce a supe
peach, There is no question
about that.—Jackson Progress-Argus.

Lawmakers and
Lawbreakers
H. M. Atkinson, who is chairman
c f the board of the Georgia Railway
j and Power Company, declares we
have become a nation of law makers
land law breakers. He says:
j I “What we need is fewer laws on
thg statute books, more respect for
. | aw an( j more regard for justice in
the minds and conscience of men.
“I do not mean that we should
take less interest in government. On
the other hand we should take a
more active interest than ever be
fore. The greatest trouble is that too
many of us have pursued the even
tenor of our way and left the affairs
of state to the politicians and soap
box orators. The result has been that
the highest offices within the gift of
the people have been brought into
more or less disrepute and are sel
dom , sought by men of mnrkpd marked ahil- abil
’ ity nd high principles.

public conscience with particular ref

F/ag Etiquette
Flag Day—June 14th—has come
and gone for this year, but the 4th
of July is near at hand and some of
us may want to display the good old
, if it is
trjo co[or on tbat day. And
I displayed, of course, we want it done
| ■orrectly. Better not fling Old Glory
I to . the breeze than to fling it and
j J have cr jti c isms brought in down which on it our is
he , uls f or the manner
done.
The United States Army has issued
a sort of treatise on the proper wmy
to display the flag. It tells us how
to honor the flag and at the same
time not “treat it rough, »» In this
connection the army authority tells
us:
“There are only two ways to dis¬
play the American flag properly. One
is to fly the flag from a staff, with
all its folds freely unfurled. The oth¬
er is to hang the flag flat, with its
full horizontal or verticle length fall¬
ing evenly and the starry field at the
top and to the observer's left. Any
other way, by placing Old Glory in
a secondary position, is sure to sug¬
gest lack of dignity and respect. n
Here are some don’t for flag dis¬
plays:
Don’t festoon it over doorways or
arches, tie it in a bowknot or drape
it as a rosette. Use bunting for such
secondary displays.
Don’t put it on the outside in a
cluster—it must be in the center.
Don’t put a flag on a staff at a
speaker’s left, and if not flown from
a staff don’t fold it behind a speaker
—lay it out flat.
Don’t put the flag on the left of
any other flags when carried in a
procession.
Don’t put it below- other flags when
flown from a staff. At the peak—
that’s the place for Old Glory.
Dou't run a flag up slowly—put
ginger in it—run it up briskly to
the top of the staff.
Don’t run it down briskly—this
should be done slowly and ceremo¬
niously.
Don’t use it for advertising pur¬
poses —it looks badly—and besides it
is against the law'.
Don’t fly a flag at half-mast by
running it partly way up a

MAN
Smooth was the sea on which man
safely rode;
No maddened billows churned life’s
tranquil main;
Upright he was in Eden’s pure abode,
Nor of disaster dreamed and death’s
long reign.
A prostrate column here that used
, to be
p ar ^. 0 f a gtruc t ure great, a temple
1 grand,
Wails a lament, the voice of the debris
Which none but God Himself can un
derstand.
In exile’s galling chains man often
weeps,
And drapes all nature with his deep
death groans.
J j Above his helpless head sin’s tempest
sweeps
To drown the pray’r his soul in an
guish moans.
For man today is the accepted time;
Through Christ he may full pardon
now receive,
And know the rest of heaven’s joy
ous clime i
If he will in the Lord of life believe.
—W. C. CARTER.
pole—run it all the way up and then
bring it into the desired position. j
Don’t use the flag for athletic uni
forms, napkins, or handkerchiefs. It
is not illegal to do this but is is a
violation of patriotic feeling. i
We are told by this authority that
there is an old army custom which
affords an opportunity to do rever
ence to the Stars and Stripes when
j old and active frayed flags are withdrawn the
from service. By it blue
‘ field is cut from the flag. Then the
separate pieces of the flag, which is ;
j no longer a flag, are burned and their
ashes scattered on the parade ground, j
