In the production of The Quitman

about two years ago. Recounting the

Considering the very light vote
polled, not only in Taylor county but I
throughout the state, in the recent |
general election, it is regrettable that
so many voters are lacking in inter
est in this important matter. As a
warning for the future in the recent
election Senator George and Gover
nor Rivers each could have been de
feated easily by any well-organized
group working quietly. Some day a
group may wake up and take advan
tage of that apathy on the part of
the voters.
This country is gradually being
forced to recognize the necessity ol
oil conservation. For years we have
been profligate and wasteful of this

it to be avashed down into the rivers
and have done nothing to prevent it.
Thousands of farms in this country,
because of unwise and wasteful farm
ing methods will not produce enough
to pay the taxes and a meagre living
for their owners. We have come to
the time when self-preservation de
mands that somethin be done. Thus
man learns another valuable lesson
from a costly and foolish error.
As a deserving tribute to the na

came out of the election bigger than
he went in. Insiders credit the na
tional chairman with having saved
New York by personal management
of that situation on the ground for
several weeks before election. Some
leftwingers here already are mutnibl
ing that they had better get . back
under the Farley tent and forget
their freak sideshow. His personal
power within the administration is
likely to be enhanced.”
GEORGE AT SWAINSBORO
The Armistice Day address of Sen
ator Walter F. George at Swainsboro
seems to have been unusually in
teresting. The senator was in fine
form and he delivered a talk with
•lots of meat in it.
His suggestion that the United
States steer clear of “isms” was a
good one. We have found in the past
that the “ism” path was not a very
happy one to tread. We have about
all we can do attending to our own
business here in the United States
without trying to direct the affairs of
our neighbors and our foreign cous
ins.
The senator takes the view that
there may be interesting develop
ments Tn South America before
many years have passed. He sounds
a word of caution along this line. Aa
a member of the Senate of the Unit
ed States, and through his activity
important committees in that
body the senator can keep a very
close view of the diplomatic and
other developments between Uncle
Sam and other nations. There are
great developments under way in
Central and South America and it is
difficult to forecast just where the
ambitions of these countries will lead
to.
The people of Swainsboro and
Emanuel county were very fortunate
in having the senato'r come to them
for this important anniversary. We
are sure they gave him a fine re-
eeption and a good time. And those
who went to hear him were well re
paid. The senator is always enter
taining and much that he says is of
importance because of his long ex
perience in governmental circles and
in the associations he has with those
who shape the destiny of this and
other countries.
There were numerous Armistice
Day addresses delivered in Georgia
but none was more important—nor
more interesting—than that which
Senator George gave the loyal peo
ple of Swainsboro who invited him
to come among them and bring ail

ARE YOU LIKELY TO WIN
SUCCESS?
A recent survey by a large Ameri
can university has uncovered several
importnt facts that appear so logical
a to be almost unbelievable.
The survey was made to indicate
the relative chances of success of
the American college students.
Who would you think had the
greatest promise? Does it seem pos
sible that the lower one-third of the
class in high school would reverse
itself in college? Certainly it does
not. • ■
The survey indicated that those
who achieved the highest marks in
their high school days were the ones
most likely to “make a go” of college
and life as a wholte.
There are some notable exceptions
to this rule, however, that should
not be overlooked. For example, a
hardworking student who is not par
ticularly brilliant can certainly earn
his bread and keep whether or not
he can pass at school. On the other
hand, there is the capable student,
who, though he makes high marks in
school do considerably better. He,
unless he reforms immediately, is
not likely to be any outstanding suc
cess.
The records you make in school
are more important than you would
probably ever realize. A position of
THANKSGIVING
We’ve attended a good many
functions at which the speeches and
the program were f oo leng but the
one occasion at which Justice Gilbert
was the principal Kiwanis Club
speaker at Waycross may be number
ed as one when the program and
speech were netirely too short.
Friends throughout the state of Dt.
B. J. W. Graham, widely known Bap
tist minister and former editor of the
Christian Index will be interested to
know that his fifth book, “A Minister
for Fifty Years,” is how ready for
distribution at the low cost of pub
lication. Dr. and Mrs. Graham are
also receiving the congratulations of
hundreds of friends as they near
their sixtieth wedding anniversary
which they will celebrate on Dec. 8.
It was the writer's good fortune
recently to be a luncheon guest oi
the Waycross Kiwanis Club and on
which occasion Justice Price Gilbert
was the principal speaker. Consider
ing the times and conditions facing
the nation Judge Gilbert’s address
was most impressing and greatly
appreciated in which he said: “No
government, however powerful or
however considerate of the people
can make itself a substitute for the
people. If the government does un
dertake % to do for tlie people what
they must do for themselves the re
sult is disaster, in that individual in
itiative, individual industry, the in
dividual will to work are destroyed
and we are destroyed and we descend
unto a nationwide sense of depen
dence. This is fundamental and the
conviction that it is fundamental may
he gleaned from a thoughtful study
will prove that as the people have
solved their own problems and have
helped themselves the nation has
grown.”
Hon. John N. Holder, editor of the
Jackson Herald, and one of the
state's best known former public of
ficials, pays the following- deserving
compliment to two leaders of the
Democratic party: “A few days ago
James L. Gillis, chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Georgia, was interviewed about the
political situation in Georgia. As a
politician, J. L. 'Gillis is of the type
of Jim Farley, the national chair
man. No truer democrat ever steered
the party than Jim Farley, who is an
aggressive fighter for his party, but
he is also peacemaker and harmonizer
of all the different elements of the
party. Gillis is exactly the same type
of politician, but when the question
was propounded to him about his
friendship for the President, he said,
“I am for the President.” In as few
words as the thought could possibly
have been told, Gillis expressed the
writer's sentiments, and that of many
millions of others. The writer
“for the President,” and believes he
is the leading statesman and patriot
of the world today. Gillis could not
have expressed himself more clearly
and emphatically in any other lan
guage than “I am for the Presi
dent’.”
Mrs. Pat Stewart)
I pause again my thanks to give,
And ’ere my prayer is said;
There are so many other things.
Dear Lord,
Besides just daily bread.
Forgive my seeming irreverence,
For all thy wondrous powers,
And thanking thee instead for but-
flies,
And flaming autumn flowers.
For hope and smiles and courage;
And grief—for this I know,
Enables me to deeper feel
My brother’s woe.
And then this greater blessing,
That nothing can replace
Faltering little baby hands,
Upon my face.
Its such a tender joy to live,
Besides a little child,
Thy kingdom come, please God,
But wait a little while.
FORMER CONGRESSMAN BAQK
TO AFRICA FOR BIG GAME
Clipped from J. R. Fitzpatrick’s
“Top O’ The Morn” column in the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun, is the fol
lowing which will be read with in
terest by the many friends of Hon.
B. T. Castellow, former Congressman
of this district:
“Bon Voyage and.Be Careful, Sir—
The third congressional district's

the best in the whole state—former

near the equator.
"He will go by way of Hawaii, New

“Big game hunting is a hobby with
Mr. Castellow. He has made many
trips to Africa and other countries
and among his experiences he counts
a trip to the Arctic zone in 1928.

VITAL VERITIES
Evencing his popularity in his
home town Fitzhugh Penn, editor oi
t{je Monticello News, has been
elected for the sixth term or more as
Mayor of Monticello. He and his
brother, Tom, publish one of the best
weeklies in the state and held in the
highest esteem by every newspapei
man in the state.
H. A. Stallings, an interesting con
tributor to the editorial page of the
Waycross Journal-Herald and a real
leader in the civic affairs of Way-
cross, reminds his readers of this
fact: “The South Georgia Methodist
Conference easily will bring from
four to five hundred visitors to Way-
cross. On a law/ average, each of
these visitoDs when he gets back
home will have five people ask him
what he thought of Waycross, how
he liked Waycross, what impression
Waycross made upon him, how Way-
cross looks, what kind of churches
Waycross has, whether Waycross
people are hospitable—just the aver
age type of conversation when a
visitor returns home and is talking
to his friends about his visit.” As
one of these five hundred fortunate
individuals we can assure (Mr. Stal
lings that the twenty thousand in
dividuals that go to make up Way-
cross’ population have every good
reason to be proud that they have a
part in making Waycross one of the
prettiest, most progressive and wide
awake cities in Georgia combined
with the most beautiful spirit of co
operation among its business men to
gether with such gracious hospitality
that puts one under obligation to the
people of the city for a life-time.
They did a perfect job of entertain

lighted to make a return visit at any
time.
