WORK.
Bjr Henry Van Dyke
Let me do ray work from day to day,
In field or forest, at the desk or loom.
In roaring market-place or tranquil room;
Let me but find it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me astray,
"This is my work; my blessing; not my
doom;
“Os all who live, I am the one by whom
“This work can best be done in the right
way."
Then shall I see it not too great, nor small,
To suit my spirit and to prove my powers;
Then shall I cheerful greet the labour
ing hours;
And cheerful turn, when the long shadows
fall
At eventide, to play and love and rest,
Recause I know for me my work is best.
The thermometer has been playing
around the hundred mark for several
days the past week—real cotton

The Brooklyn Eagle is the author
of this terse comment on American
marital state of affairs: “Europeans
are loud in their praise of the kind
and respectful way an American hus
band treats his wife. Which is like
giving credit to the lamb for not
getting rough with a lion.”
o
The president having signed the
Smoot-Hawley tariff bill, the meas
ure has already been put into effect.
We trust that the predictions of the
proponents of the bill that business
improvement would follow will come
true. We are not overly optimistic
that this will be the case.

This paper is not yet committed
to the candidacy of any particular
candidate for governor, but it is
definitely committed against the can
didacy of two of them. And it is
our opinion that neither of these
two will be the next governor of
this State.

No great amount of intei’est has
yet been shown in Georgia politics
in the primary to be held September
10th. With five entries in the gov
ernor’s race and Senator Harris op
posed by former Governor Slaton,
the present lethargy cannot be ex
pected to last much longer. The
'“dear people” simply must be
stirred up.
The preliminary census report
for the 101 counties of Georgia
shows a gain of approximately forty
four thousand for the state in the
past ten years. While most of the
larger cities showed substantial gains, i
some of the rural sections lost
heavily. Migration of thousands of
Negroes to the North is given as the
reason for this loss.
o
All Georgians who are jealous of
the reputation of their Capital City
were pleased when the city election
returns last week announced the de
feat of those candidates who had
been implicated in the notorious graft:
practices going on in that city over a j
long period of time. A thorough |
house-cleaning is in progress. And j
may they do the job right!
o
The State Tax Commissioner has j
given an additional thirty days time j
for filing state income tax returns j
for the last quarter of 1929. This
extends the grace period to July!
15th. The Tax Commissioner’s of- j
fice announces that the revenue i
derived from this source has fallen
short of expectations, and that a j
determined effort will be made to j
Enforce"the provisions of the law;
following the close of the extension j
of time granted.
A baby son has been born to
Col. and Mrs. Chas. A. Lindbergh.
The intrepid American airman,
who still holds a warm spot in the
; hearts of his countrymen, has been
i the recipient of congratulations from
all over the country upon the new
j arrival at his home. And it is but
j natural to suppose that the little
i fclhrtv will soon be flying high.

The names of two well known
Georgians featured in the sport

j decisive victory brought
j a great deal of satisfaction to his
1 admirers back home, particularly in

The farmers of Colquitt and
Worth counties who were in the
wake of the tornado, wind and hail
storm which swept that section
last Saturday afternoon, lost prac
tically their entire crops, reports
stating that thousands of acres of
corn, cotton and tobacco were
completely stripped. The loss to
many farmers was complete. Too
late in the year to replant, these
farmers who have lost all will need
the sympathy and assistance of their
fellow-beings. Those of us who are
prone to complain of our ill fortune
will probably feel after reading of
this disaster that our lot is not so
bad after all.

SLATON Says:
The long defensive letter of Sena
tor Harris shows he recognizes im
pending defeat! News must have
come from home that the myth of
liis being invincible —just like
Grundy, of Pennsylvania—ls in
danger of being exploded.
The Senator writes a lengthy
statement full of retractions,
changes of position and amusing
explanations. He even admits some
Georgia Congressmen were in the
Capitol during his service as Sena
tor, although ha falls to give Sena
tor George credit for any accom
plishment.
Regarding the League of Nations,
Senator Harris writes:
“Mr. Slatou seems to be unduly
exercisod by the League of Nations
when he tries to resurrect it.”
Does not Senator Harris know
that Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick
defeated Senator Dineen in Illinois
for nomination for U. S. Senator
from Illinois on the sole issue of
the Court of the League of Nations
by over 200,000 majority.
Mrs. McCormick said that that
was the sole issue between them
and she opposed it.
There is no liver issue before
the American people today.
Parker Defeat
1 smoked out Senator Harris on
this vote against Judge Parker, of
! North Carolina, for a seat on the
1 Supreme Court Bench. He said
'Judge Parker was not sufficiently
iable for the position.
The trouble w’as that Senator
• Harris was ignorant of what was
going on. Any intelligent man
who was in Senate and heard
the debate ought to have known the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People de
feated him because J udge Parker
declared negroes ought not to par
ticipate in politics.
Senator Harris, who usually ex
ploits himself through the press as
the only representative from Geor
gia, using “I" 79 times in one letter
and using “1" “ME" and “MINE’’
214 times in a 30 minute talk, en
deavors to take shelter behind Sen
ator George and others whom here
tofore he has ignored, in his press
communication.'
The result of the Parker rejection
is that the negro newspapers of the
North gleefully proclaimed their
victory over Parker and declared
that henceforth the 14th and 15th
amendments shall be enforced.
What one vote on the Supreme
Court may mean in the future to
the South 1 do not know. Senator
Harris refused to vote to place a
Southern man there and who was
defeated because he (Parker) be
lieved in WHITE SUPREMACY.
Destruction of Family Life
Senator Harris invited me to dis
cuss other issues. I now charge
him with connivance at the most
destructive blow that was ever
aimed at family life in the history
of an English country.

ciation for the Advancement of Col

ored People, urged successfully,,
through Congress, the 20th Amend
ment; that Amendment provided
that the control of children up to
the age of 18 could be taken from
Mother and Father and put under a
Federal Bureau.
No mother could then have her
daughter to cook a meal; no father
could have his son to chop wood;
no farmer could have the servant
plow a field, if under 18 years of
age unless in accordance with laws
which Congress might pass.
Prohibition
Senator Harris invites my views
on prohibition without stating his
own.
If he defeated Judge Parker for
the Supreme Court because, ac
cording to his (Harris’) revised
statement, of certain leanings, he
voted for Mr. Owen Roberts, from
the home state of Florence Kelly,
Pennsylvania.
Mr. Roberts has openly in debate
declared the 18th Amendment ought
not to have been adopted. How
poor Judge Parker, the prohibition
ist, would have been crucified had
he made such a statement as has
Mr. Roberts. Yet Judge Roberts is
now on the Supreme Court Bench
where by construction he can nul
lify the prohibition amendment if
his “leanings” and personal opin
ions accompany him on the Bench.
Since Senator Harris provoked a
reply from me, let me say that I
think prohibition is no issue and
cannot be made one In Georgia ex
cept as a football of designing poli
ticians. The 18th Amendment is in
the Coustitutiou to stay ant} I will
vote against its repeal.
Only since my announcement has
Senator Harris mentioned anybody
but himself as doing anything for
the 161 Georgia counties.
He refers to various bills as the
“Harris-Brand” bill; the “Harris
kftwards” bill; and the “Harris-
Vinson” bill. Why doesn't he put
the name of the man who orginated
it in the House, first?
Senate Investigating Committee
Now let me notice one other at
tack characteristic of a politician.
No man threatens an investiga
tion of his opponent unless he ex
pects to get beat.
The Government gives to every
Senator SIO,OOO a year for a Sec
retary to be paid $3,900 and three
clerks. This amount ought to be all
paid to Georgia men and women
for services rendered, and when I
am elected, a Georgia secretary and
Georgia clerks shall receive it —
Every dollar!
This, Senator Harris has not done,
and I challenge him to produce his
payroll and let the Investigating
Committee examine that for the
last seven years.
When the voters come to decide
the question of the next Senator
from Georgia consider into whose
hands you prefer to out the future
of your children —Senator Harris,
or myself.
Shall the compliment of a gov
ernment franked, rubber stamped
letter control your vote on this
momentous question?

Making the Demand
Equal the Supply
In olden days the merch
ant, who oftentimes was al
so a manufacturer, went
from house to house ped
dling his wares. Then
times changed, and meth
ods changed, and the itin
erant merchant disappear
ed.
In his place came the merchant of to
day—the merchant who is a purchasing
agent for his community.
As a purchasing agent the merchant
buys as he believes the people in his
community will buy from him. Some
times his sales are many, at other times
they are few. Always, however, his
supply is equal to the demand. But the
demand, unhappily, all too often falls
very, very far below the supply. Which
means poor business.
t
Take your own case. You have, let
us say, enough of the goods you handle
to supply a goodly number of the peo
ple in Blakely who require these goods.
Do they demand these goods in such
great quantities as to make your sup
ply inadequate? The odds are they •
don’t.
You need the advertising aid of the manufacturers whose goods you
stock—urge their salesmen to recommend your local home newspaper

“THE RIGHT WAY’’
ADVERTISING IN THE
NEWS GETS RESULTS
This newspaper has joined
small town newspapers
all over the country in a
nation-wide campaign to
convince national adver
tisers that they can best
assist small town mer
chants by advertising in
the local home town news
papers of the small town
merchants.
Still, you can’t do as
the merchant of old did
and create a demand for
your goods by peddling
them from house to
house. So you take ad
vantage of the very best
means available and ad
vertise in your local home
newspaper. Valuable as
this is there’s still another selling force
—and that is the advertising of the
manufacturers whose goods you want to
sell to Blakely’s buyers—which should
also appear in your local, home news
paper.
And you can go far in getting this
aid by talking about Blakely to the
salesmen, through whom you buy your
merchandise—by inoculating them with
the thought that local demand can be
created and directed chiefly through
your local home newspaper—by mak
ing them see how necessary it is to your
business welfare to have the advertising
of their companies in your local, home
newspaper.
