They don’t! set m to think of danger when' they get to the wheel. Seldom ever pick up a paper' but that you read of someone being killed in an auto accident on Sunday. Cumming needs an Ice facto ry, Laundry and other good en terprises too tedious to mention Shoes have got so high, even the millionaires are wearing half-soles. This speaks well for our milionaires. It is reported that the ex-kai ser had a fit when he was told that he would be tried in Lon don. Guess it was what the lit tle boys call a conniptuous fit. An increase of about forty two million dollars in taxable values are shown by the Tax Digests of the state filed with the Comptroller-General The firemen and engineers on all railroads have asked for an increase in salary. The situ ation of our country at this time brings forth much food for out people’s thought. Nine Georgia counties report an increase in tax values ol over a million dollars each. , People coming here from oth er sections in Georgia tell us that old Forsyth has a better crop than any of the others. The Standard Oil Cos. got aw ful good right quick and cut th price of gasoline one cent a gallon. The strike situation looks a little better than it did a week ago. Many of the strikers have returned to work. Anyhow Uncle Asa sold out the coca cola business for a pretty neat sum, only twenty five million and his family well cared for with a position. Meat lard, flour, and every thing that goes to make u pa li\ ing, are high as a kite. The legislature adjourned on Wednesday night. They passed several imporant laws and fai ed to pass some good ones. Thirty dollars for a pair ol shoes is predicted by many. In this case we will be a barefoot boy if we don’t watch out. Four hundred and fifty thou sand people died of flu last fall and winter, which set the insui ance Companies back two hun dred and forty million dollars The legislature has increased the salary of practically all the isJtate House officers, and appr< printed sighs of money to thi big schools and colleges. Don l fret it will not increase youi tax a penny as they alreadj levy the limit for state tax. The new crop of cotton is be ing gathered and put on th market in south Georgia. Georgia’s first bale of the season was sold at auction in A’ lanta and brought 41 l-2c pel pound. Fodder jerking time will bt on the farmers soon, and ther cotton picking will be the ol der of the day with them. Don’t forget to go out and vote in the bond election Satur day. If you think bonds are foi the best vote for them, if you think they are not vote against them. At any rate vote as you think beet. BRANDYWINE The other correspondents write so well that old Bill can not keep in sight. The red spider has arrived and we are fearful that it will do much damage. Mrs. S. L. Bales spent a few days last week with her sister Mrs Bettie Chatten, of Holly Springs. We are glad to know that Mr John Hays is still improving. Mr.—Echols and family of Haw Creek spent Sunday with their daughter Mrs. Arthur Her ring. Mr. Ben A. Stone of Atlanta spent Sunday at this place There is some talk of divid ing Midway school district be tween Brandywine and Long street & making a good school with two or three teachers at each place. When the State puts its hand down in your pockets and takes your money to educate some j other man’s child it is nothing ! but right to see that his child gets the benefit of it. Bill is now making out his ticket for next year. He has de cided on only 2 candidates as yet. Senior Senator H. Smith, and the other is none other than Hon. Clifford Walker. The oth ers will be added as we check them up and see what they’ve accopmlished. Rev. John Wesley Hughes, the father of Rev. Fletcher, will conduct the revival at Shiloh this week. Brandywine patrons will be asked to bring out a good din ner for the last day of school, which will be the 22nd of Au gust. Our Sup’t and possibly others will be with us. Yes, we took in the soldiers picnic and we were much sur prised to see so many people there. We enjoyed seeing our friends and the old and new sol diers march and especially did we enjoy the wonderful speech of Hon.'Cliff Walker. We knew that he was an excellent speak er, but he went beyond our ex pectations Saturday. It pays to listen to a man who can speak as he can. The man who beats him for Governor will have to be some runner. Bill. ROUTE 2.
