THE FAULT FINDER AND
“KNOCKER • •
(Atlanta Constitution)
Every now and then somebody hops
us and inquires “What’s the matter
with Georgia?” And as a rule, he in
quires in a tone of voice accompanied
by a facial expression that indicates
he thinks something mighty bad is
the matter with Georgia.
And then there is another class of
citizen who informs us regularly and
with fierce and gloomy imphasis that
. what’s really the matter is
[much rotten politics.” The Legisla
ture is a bum; officials are molly
coddles and weaklings; city councils
don’t know the difference between
$7.15 and $9.25; our school teachers
are incompetents; our boards of con
trol of one sort and another rascally
politicians.
It is worst sort of bunk!
There isn’t anything . particularly . . .
,, the xl matter” .. „ with ... Georgia—there X.
may , be something ... the matter .. with ...
few r Georgians. ~ 0 So far - The
some as
Atlanta . xl . Georgian is concerned, , it ,,

state , today , , and , x1 the greatest , . handi- ,
to and . prosperity the xl
can progress is
fellow - who , always , is . complaining, , . .
whining, ... snarling, criticizing .... and ,
abusing! ...
There is too much of that going on
in Georgia—too much fault-finding;
too much a disposition to regard men
in authority and high and responsible
places in the light of knaves and
cheapstakes.
Politics isn’t any “rottener
Georgia than it is in other states—
there is good reason to suspect that
it may not be so rotten as it is in
some. Anyway, politics wasn’t born
rotten in Georgia. If it has grown
rotten, it is because we have permit
ted it to. It may be true, as an ob
servant rural Georgian once observ¬
ed that politics in this state “don’t
smell like no joranium;” but, rela¬
tively speaking, it is what we make
it. And when we criticize the “poli¬
ticians” of the state and what they
have brought upon us, we really are
criticizing ourselves. There is too
much criticism all around the board.
How much better it would be if
men would use their energy search¬
ing out and digging out the good that

is in others!
Big men and little men alike are
guilty of the foolish vice of aimless
criticism. A great genius like Carlyle
was weak enugh to point to Huxley,
t wonderful
the scientist, and describe
him as a fool. Ruskin called Darwin
“a dim comet, wagging its tail of
phosphorescent nothing against the
j criticism, steadfast stars. • • Ingeniously worded ,
but trivial and inaccurate.
For a comet is not, so far as we
know > made U P of “phosphorescent
It may supply the very ;
force ’ the life - that feeds the solar I
systems, and it does not “wag its
tail a *? ainst the steadfast stars,” forj
a eomet ' s tail doesn,t wa » and the
stars are not steadfast—every one
of them moves with incredible speed
and ever y one of them flies and van
i ishes in turn ;

Just try an experiment now. Think
of somebody whom you do not like
and say: “I hate that man; he is a
villain.” As you say these words you
have an animal look in your face. On
the other hand> if you say to your _
self of the same man, “Poor fellow,
he has had a harder time than I in
his place, I probably should not do
as well as he does; I wish I could
help him,” a thought of that kind
produces a very different effect in
your own mind—it gives you a feel- j
j nf » 0 f expansion, of decency and
cheerfulness,
This earth has progressed toward
civilization just as fast as the aver- j
age man’s love for his fellow men
has increased. Love of others makes
heroes of war and of peace. There is,
of course, such a thing as useful)
criticism. It’s the criticism which
CONSTRUCTIVE. And it is not crit
icism in the usual sense of the word.
It takes a kind form, it mixes friend¬
ly praise with equally friendly sug¬
gestion for improvement.

Field inspection work is done reg¬
ularly by authorized representatives
of the Association and germination
tests are made in the laboratory
when the seed are gathered.
Reports from community pure
seed associations showed that even
though sales of seed were somewhat
smnll last season, most of the mem¬
bers have recognized the benefits of
growing varieties of high grade.
Where the varieties of cotton with
good staple have been adopted, the
markets have shown a noticeable im¬
provement.

IN MEMORY ROBERT HANCOCK
- |
It is not given to us to know the
mysteries of God for on October 8,
1001, Robert, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. T. Hancock, came to bless the
home. Then in his 21st year, the
prime of life, he was sorely afflicted
and suffered for three years, when
on July 26th the Master said, “It is
enough, come up higher where suf¬
fering ceases and time shall be no
more.
During his affliction he was at
home four times and was sick only
a few hours when the summons came.
Funeral services were conducted by

Rev. J. R. Hunt at the family lot fit
Perry, on Tuesday at 4:00 p. m., July
28th.
Sleep on! Bleep on! dear Robert, oh
Could we speak thee into life,
Would we? No, a thousand time*,
no!
You are safe from all evil and
strife,
Awaiting the judgment day,
When the Master shall separata
Thee with Him to stay
Within the Pearly Gate.
