DALTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1921.
Most of the things we fear never happen, and
when they do they are not so bad.
No beer for the sick says congress. But there
Is plenty of bootleg hootch for all who have the
price.
Governor Dorsey told the truth about lynching
and for that the mob element in Georgia will never
fdrgive him.
Governor Hardwick can’t forget the “dogmatic
school teacher,” whose chastening rod seems to
have done him no good.
“Fourth of July” Celebration.
Whitfield and Dalton’s “Fourth” this year is
to serve a double purpose and is to be such an
outstanding red-letter day that it will be long re
membered. The plans are (1) to celebrate patri
otically the victories our nation has won, giving
first place to the boys who upheld Old Glory and
(2) to have a great get-together meeting for every
one in the county for a day of safe-and-sane
amusement.
Monday is to be truly a holiday, given over to
sports, races and amusing contests, and many
prizes have been offered for the winners.
This returning to the old-fashioned way of
entertaining big crowds is splendid, and all of
us will welcome this little bit of normalcy. The
day will be more thoroughly appreciated because
of the military color and patriotic fervor that will
mark the program.
The spirit actuating the Merchants’ Association
when it sponsored this day of pleasure for the
community is to be compiended, for holidays
should bring to the people something out of the
ordinary and lift lots of us from a rut. We are
always keyed up for the “Fourth” and when the
day is allowed to pass without recognition or an
appreciation of liberty, or no interesting features
are planned, folks are left more or less with a
feeling of depression.
Preparations have been made for an enormous
prowd from the rural precincts, and it is hoped
Chat every head of a household will come, bring
ing with him all of the family, to help carry to
completion the many plans that have been made
for a wholesomely happy day and patriotic rally.
Get a little more “pep” and help “Whoop ’em
up for the Fourth”!
Sam Gompers says Hearst is a traitor to this
country, and to labor. Gompers is no fool and is
nof easily deceived.
Admiral Sims says he got what he deserved,
flow what are those who are inclined to defend
■the admiral gonna do about it?
Sam Gompers has again been elected president
of the American Federation of Labor. Your Uncle
Samuel is a hard man to beat.
If the tail of that comet is the cause of this
weather we'would like to know what would have
heen the result if it had stuck its head down this
way-
How many of those congressmen voting against
no beer for the sick are really in favor of the
bill? The anti-saloon league lobby has congress
completely subdued. In its presence the members
dare not vote their honest convictions. ,
Absurd Legislation.
The so-called water power bills, advocated by
the municipal league, were introduced in the
house Monday.
These are the bills Marion Jackson, Mayor Key,
John Eagan, and others are going to attempt to
lobby through the legislature, as a means of pun
ishment to the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany?
This crowd has for a long while been fighting
the: power company, and at last have fallen upon
the idea of legislating it out of business, by throw
ing Georgia into the morass of state socialism.
This fad has all but wrecked the state of North
Dakota.
Whenever Georgia destroys individual initia
tive by making unprofitable private enterprises and
investments she will have set her face against pro
gress and the development of her natural re
sources. Stagnation will then begin, and finally
end. in bankruptcy of the state if not checked.
The advertisements put out by the so-called mu
nicipal league are misleading, in that they seek to
create the impression that electric current for
lights and power can be delivered to the homes
and factories of all the people at almost no cost.
The proposition is both impracticable and im
possible. It is the dream of visionaries when it is
not the result of prejudice against corporate in
terests.
For the state to develop the water powers of
Georgia millions of dollars would have to be ex
torted from the taxpayers of the state, who are
already groaning under the taxes now paid. And
the state is now so heavily in debt that the best
mitids in it have not yet been able to devise means
by which its obligations can be met and its in
stitutions kept going.
The absurdity of this water power legislation
ought to appeal to the common sense of the legis
lature. Surely it will not permit itself to be whip
ped into doing a thing so wild and visionary. Mak
ing of itself a catspaw for striped-tailed Atlanta
politicians is unthinkable, and yet that is just
what it will be doing if it allows itself to be bully
ragged into doing a thing so foolish as is contem
plated in the so-called water-power bills.
It isn’t any yrop.Aer that the sentiment for mov
ing the capitol away from Atlanta is growing so
fast
Went in With a Hammer.
We want to be fair to the new governor of this
state, and will, but we-must also be fair to our
readers and also fair to ourself.
We are not so optimistic as are a great many
about the new state administration. The new gov
ernor is, more or less, a demagogue, and always
has been, and we fear it is too much to hope that
he will cease being an actor in this role.
In his inaugural address, if that is what it was,
he did not more than get up steam, until he jump
ed on Mr. Wilson and the League of Nations, as if
they had anything in particular to do with the ad
ministration of purely state affairs. Here he show
ed his spleen and bitterness.
And yet he attempted to do the very thing he
accused Wilson of doing—usurping the authority
of the legislative branch of the government by his
futile attempt to dictate who the speaker of the
house should be. Here he met a stern rebuke from
the members of the legislature, who proved in
dependent enough to elect their own speaker.
Hence Mr. Ennis, Hardwick’s man, was defeated
and Mr. Neill was elected. Even Tom Watson
couldn’t save Hardwick’s man, Ennis.
Mr. Hardwick is a man who is moved more by
his prejudices than he is by his better qualities.
He proved this when he butted his political brains
out in Washington hating Woodrow Wilson. And
he also exemplified his ingratitude, for it was to
Mr. Wilson Mr. Hardwick owed much for his suc
cess in reaching the United States senate.
If Mr. Hardwick is still laboring under the im
pression that abusing Mr. Wilson and belaboring
the League of Nations will prove popular in Geor
gia he is simply doing the thing that proves his
incapacity to judge intelligently and correctly
where his prejudices are concerned.
The Savannah Press reminds the new governor
that the state of Georgia went for Governor Cox,
in the presidential race, by a majority of 50,000
votes, and the leading feature of the Cox platform
was the endorsement of the League of Nations.
The, point is well made.
When Governor Hardwick strives to do good
for the state, The Citizen will gladly commend
and support him, and it isn’t going to attempt to
set itself up as judge of what is good, either, but
it will be able to find out.
We wiil let The'Macon Telegraph conclude this
article: •>
In delivering the inaugural address that
marked his entrance upon the duties of ad
ministering the affairs of the State of Georgia,
Mr. Hardwick could not resist the temptation
to advance beyond the confines of such and
comment upon the affairs of the nation. He
still has such vivid memories of the ‘dog
matic school teacher” of the world that he
found it impossible not to make mention of
him in his speech of Saturday.
It is one of the strange things that a great
man’s enemies as well as his friends will not
let him die. They both select the most mo
mentous occasions to keep his remembrance
fresh in the minds of the people. In the seri
ousness of the hour, Mr. Wilson would per
chance have been forgotten if Mr. Hardwick
had not been kind enough to mention him.
So great a publication as the Saturday Even
ing Post recently editorialied as follows:
“Time and the second sober thought of the
American people will work for President Wil
son in his retirement. Never will he be elevat
ed to the pedestal on which he stood during
those first weeks of the Armistice, but he will
bulk big again in the eyes of the world that
views him in proper perspective. For though
he failed greatly, he succeeded greatly.”
It really does appear that there exists more
than one opinion in every matter. The Sat
urday Evening Post editorial continues and
points out that “the failure of Mr. Wilson,
though its consequences have been disastrous,
is only temporary; his success will be perma
nent. He wrote the scriptures of peace—no
mean -achievement—and in its hour of fear
and anguish the world accepted them, only to
blackslide when the danger seemed over. But
the time of repentance and conversion will
come again.”
The Governor of Georgia will probably be
so busy during his term of office that he will
have little time to fight over again the League
of Nations question, which he assures us was
settled in Georgia and the nation by the last
election. Georgia having returned to “old-
fashioned Americanism,” this will leave those
who struggled for a return to such free to
accomplish those constructive things that old-
fashioned Americanism have to offer as a pre
mium and reward. And surely the reward of
so good a thing is great; we trust that every
bale of cotton in Georgia will quickly go to
Europe as a result, even though a merchant
should have nothing to do with his customers.
But the mighty hope now is that Hardwick
like Harding will stand for “more business in
Government”—and no politics at all. His
main purpose appears to be good; and with
Mr. Neill as a balance wheel in the House, the
outcome should be excellent. But it would
really be expecting too much to ask a Gover
nor who had once been Senator to leave Out
all reference to international affairs, or to keep
his mind strictly away from such—even when
home affairs were facing a severe crisis—al
though Mr. Hardwick might be a much more
influential Governor if he should assume to
forget for a while the problems that Mr. Hard
ing has been elected to work out.
It is nice to have in the Governor’s chair
a man big enough to have once become Sena
tor, but, it will be ideal if he can be big enough
to forget that he has been Senator. And un
less he writes the scriptures of peace in Geor
gia, his suggestions to the State Legislature
will be no more than the scraps of paper on
which they are written.
This is no time for a scattering of energies.

spoken to us each hour in striking tones is now

old friendly manner and some days sulking or
pouting like a spoiled child, waiting for small
attentions which of course are her birthright. »
If we were the only one missing her musical
voice when ft is silent, it would be no public loss,
but there are hundreds here who have grown to
love her and who have become dependent on her
information. At times dozens have noted her idle
hands and have seen in her face that she is quite
unhappy, for her sole purpose in life is to be
busy, and for many years her joy has been to
mark time for busy feet, to speed the laggard

f° r DREARY DayJ
BY JAMES WELLS
Writer of Newspaper Verne P
and Popular Song Lyric.^ : Kymn - p <*m,
The Mansions.
To the Editor of The Dalton Citien: /
' We have heard many glowing descriptions of
the mansions in the skies; and it is the orthodox
belief that all people who reach heaven will live
in mansions more magnificent than any king or'|
despot of .earth ever dreamed of; or pride ever
strutted through in this world. But many good
people do not want a mansion. They would not
feel at home in one. Its grandeur would oppress
them. They would rather have a snug, homey
cottage among the trees, with honeysuckle on the
fence, and roses over the windows, and birds nest
ing in the eaves. External magnificence could
never make them happy. They would rather have
simple, comfortable rooms flooded with sunlight
and sweet, fresh air, where they could read their
books, and dream their dreams in solitude, and
where their friends could come at will for a
chat, or an open-heart discussion of great ques
tions. Their longings could never be satisfied
with the gleam of gold, or the flash of precious
stones or the glow and glitter of material wealth.
On earth, they do not covet the rich man’s gold,
nor the great man’s position, nor the trappings
of royalty. They do not want to go to heaven to
be materially rich, to get Into society, or to be
always on crowded city streets. They cannot im
agine how the gleam of gold, and the flash of jew
els can possibly be more beautiful or more soul
inspiring than the sight of red roses blowing in
the breeze; or of purple mountains piled against
the shadowless sky. “In my Father’s house are
many mansions,” said the divine Jesus'? but He
did not say they were material palaces, such as
thp kings of earth dwell in, only much more splen
did. JESSIE BAXTER SMITH.

♦ EXCHANGE OPINION
*■ a
It’s Great to Be a Georgian.
Among the bulletins recently issued in Atlanta
under this title one carries a map of Georgia and
some facts about its territory and resources.
Here are a few facts about Georgia which every
body should know:
Georgia is:
First in peaches and sweet potatoes.
Second in cotton, peanuts, sugar cane and oats
and mules.
Third in cotton and corn, watermelons and can
taloupes.
Fourth in wheat, tobacco, apples, pears.
Fifth in cow peas; sixth in hay; seventh in rice;
eighth in number of horses and sheep; ninth in
Irish potatoes.
Value of agricultural products, $725,000,000.
Georgia has the largest tobacco plantation in the
country—25,000 acres, with 3,500 employes.
The value of hogs in Georgia was placed at $53,-
000,000 and the value of the cotton crop last year
at $107,000,000. The by-products alone from one
Georgia cotton crop brought more than $72,000,000.
One Rabun county farmer sold $1,400 worth of
celery from one acre in 1913. One Doughtery
county farmer has produced as high as 756 bushels. |
of sweet potatoes to the acre. A Lowndes county
man produced a watermelon that weighed 147
pounds. From $300 to $500 per acre profit is
common in Georgia.
Georgia is the largest state east of the Missis
sippi river. It has every climate of the United
States, save the Artie. The average temperature
in winter is 48 and in summer. 78.
From North Georgia comes the marble that
built the Capitol of Minnesota, the Memorial Hall
of Kansas, the Corcoran Art Gallery of Washing
ton and the Girard Trust building of Philadelphia.
In Lumpkin county may be seen the mines from
which the Government obtained its entire supply
of gold prior to its discovery in California in 1849.
Within sixteen miles of Atlanta is the largest
single mouqtain of granite on the face of the earth.
The Georgia apple took first prize at the fair in
Oregon. The peach ranks with the watermelon
as the best the world affords and solid trains carry
these products from Maine to California.
_ Brunswick, Ga., is the largest crosstie market
in the world.
The South has more than half the iron ore in
the United States, and 75 per cent of all the cook
ing coal. Five million horsepower is available in
southern streams.
Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
Business experts, “enemy aliens,” and the public
in general are very much interested in whether
or not we are nearing the end of the long period
of technical war with Germany which began in
1919 when the Treaty of Versailles was signed.
The Senate and House are deadlocked over this
question in a manner worthy the best traditions
of trench warfare. Sometime ago the Senate
passed the Knox resolution repealing the declara
tion of war made by the United States against
Germany in April, 1917. A few days ago the House |
passed by a vote of 305 to 61 the Porter^ resolu
tion declaring war between the United Slates and
Germany at an end. The Senate has since reject
ed the Porter resolution and a merry war over
peace is promised in the committee of the House
and Senate. Both branches of the national legis
lature want peac% but cannot agree on the kind
of peace 'they want. It is probable that war will
continue both with Germany and between the
bellicose branches of Congress until the joint com
mittee can decide the vital question of whether we
should repeal the declaration of war or declare
the war at an end.
In other words, politics is blocking this ques
tion, just as it blocks so many Sther questions that
Congress has to do with. One faction insists on
tweedledum, believing tha't the fate of the nation
depends on it, while the other will fight and bleed
for tweedledee, feeling in its political bones that
only in that way can the world be made safe for
politics; and in the meantime the poor public can' |
go to thunder. D the public! The exponents
of Tweedle, both -dum and -dee, agree on that, but
nothing else.—Dallas New Era.
Summing Up the Work.
The message of Hugh M. Dorsey, retiring from
the Governorship, is to be commended for its
courage and frankness. It is a message that will
be worth much to the people of the state and to
his successor if its lessons are heeded.
The matter of the State’s finances contains
nothing new. In the midst of wealth Georgia .has
nothing with which to pay its' bills. This is a
situation that has been dealt with by every .Gov
ernor for the past twenty years, and continues to
grow worse. It is an outcome of legislative bung- ,
ling and carelessness; of the rule of the dema- .
gogue. It is due to the fact that it is popular to
spend money but exceedingly, unpopular to col
lect money; therefore the demagogue takes the
popular side and makes appropriations for Which
no funds are provided. It is not a condition the
Governor, can remedy—neither the past nor the
present. It is a matter solely within the province
of the General Assembly. When that body is dom
inated by statesmen and not by cheap politicians,
these conditions will no longer exist.
On the negro question, the retiring Governor
refuses to follow the policy of the ostrich—to hide
his head under the cover of unpretended'unbelief
and thus escape responsibility—although that pol
icy is the popular one, for that is the easiest
thing to do—for the time being. He argues that
nothing can be gained by denying or evading con
ditions that actually exist and takes the unassail
able position that Georgia should do her own
house-cleaning, without waiting for the Federal
courts to do it for her. He does hot seek to evade
the situation brought to light by the disclosures
in the Williams case, but frankly discusses them
that the people of the state who want right to pre-

Not in its head.
“Jes’ Let Me Roll Erlong.”

An dis de ol’ world’s battle song:
‘Don’t stop me. brother, let ttia rn
stop me, brother, let me roll erlong.
De worl’ is on er forward move,
An, hit doan’ stay in de same ol’ groove,
An as it moves, hit sings dis song:
Doan’ stop me, people, let me roll erlong.”
De worl’ is rollin’ on all right
(Hit’s rollin’ on ter a time dat’s bright),
An as hit mov|s hit sings dis song:
Let me roll, good people, let me roll erlong.”

There was a man
Who never lied,
But just before
He lived he died.
There was a soul
Who never “knocked;”
He drowned once when
The boat he rocked.
Mary Sold a Little Lamb.
Mary sold a little lamb,
But she made nothing on it;
For Mary pocketed the loss,
The packing-house the profit.
Very Uncommon.
Oh, here is a saying
Whose praises I sing:
That good common sense
Is an uncommon thing.
Music.
There’s music in the song of birds,
And in the sighing breeze;
There’s music ih .a sweetheart’s words,
When e’er she strives to please.
There’s music in the little rill
Which ripples ’neath the shade,
And music all our senses fill
From the tom-cat’s serenade.
Don’t Talk Too Much.
The hen proceeds with cautious care
To build herself a nest,
And hunts a dark and secret place
Where she can hide the best.
And then a precious little egg,
The hen proceeds to lay—
Then cackles loud all o’er the place
And/gives the thing away.

Quit your whining.
Tears will help none—get the point.'
Quit your whining.
Face the future with a smile;
With a song the way beguile;
Twill be better after while—
Quit your whining.
Future looking sorter drear?
Quit your whining.
Want the clouds to disappear?
Quit your whining.
Why the future will you dread?
Better times are just ahead;
Try a little smile instead
Of only whining.
