There are many roads, doubtless,
on which a man may travel to reach
the goal at which his tongue will be
hanging out, but it is beyond dispute
that the weather of the past week
coupled with persistent toil would
bring any man to the stage at which
his linguistic paraphernalia is expos
ed to the atmosphere.

A very good example of a waste
of effort is going to the trouble of
explaining to the voters that J. J.
Brown and his machine are a burden
to the taxpayers of Georgia. A num
ber sufficient to defeat him are con
vinced of that already. What is
needed now is a marshalling of the
anti-Brown forces under the leader
ship of Eugene Talmadge.

The moonlight has its uses which
time would fail us to catalog. It has
facilitated the making of brew a sole
and moderate quaff of which will
make a man think that he can cap
ture an army single handed and it
has inspired that eloquence which
has so ofti n led people to think that
two can live just as cheaply as one.
It may even on a warm July night
cause a man of mature years to ven
ture out under the stars with no less
ignoble purpose than to seek perfec
tion in the playing of golf.

MEMORIES
People are liable to fail to take ac
count of the treasuries of memory as
well as the curse with which it may
track us through life. We are seek
ers after treasure trove in varied
forms and fix our hearts upon those
things which are a source of happi
ness oi' at least hold out the promise
of such. It may be easily shown,
however, that the treasures which all
men seek are in a great measure ma
terial in their nature. They are sub
ject to the sunshine and the rain and
are the victims of time and decay.
It is wise, therefore, to give attention
to less tangible sources of joy. We
•do that when we give thought to
memories. They follow us as the
retinue of a king or as the accusers
from which the slave seeks to es
cape. Whether he wills it or not,
memory will be with the normal man
always. We should ponder how much
wiser it is that a man should lay up
memories which will be a treasury to
him rather than a fountain of bitter
ness. Not altogether, perhaps, but
in a great measure a man is respon
sible for the memories which become
his companions through life. In or
dering our ways of life we should
not fail to take into account that
whatever else we may be able to get
away with or from that memory is
an ever present force with which we
must always reckon. It can by right
living be made a storehouse from
which delight may be drawn to the
sweetening of every stage of life’s
journey.

UNAFRAID
“The courage of so many folks,”
said a Larned man, “is confined to
taking an uncompromising stand
against murder in any form —they
simply won’t have a murder around
the house. They also are unqualifi
edly opposed to incendiarism, burgla
ry, smuggling, shanghaing, and boot-
legging among the Esquimaux. They
take a determined stand against pre
varication, procrastination and moral
turpitude, with especial reference to
the other fellow, and nothing can
swerve them from their adamant at
titude in opposition to drought, hail
and insect pests. I have known these
folks to defy the cockeyed world, and
frankly and vigorously oppose ear
muffs in August and Palm Beach
suits in February. In the way of
constructive endeavor I have, known
not one, but many, to advocate at
their personal peril the passage of
a law declaring a legal holiday on
the anniversasy of the invention of
the logarithm, in order that this
event may be annually observed with
all the emotion and warm, oriental
feeling to which it is so justly entitl
ed. And then I have known these
same folks to walk prodigious dis
tances, and frequent back alleys, and
hide behind bass brums in order to
avoid signing a petition for some
worthy public purpose which hap
pened at the time to be the subject
of considerable acrimonious debate.
It it any wonder the millennium is
eluding us?” —Larned (Kans) Tiller
and Toiler.

DID YOU EVER STOP
TO THINK
By Edson R. Waite
Secretary Shawnee (Okla.) Board
of Commerce
Thomas R. Preston, President of
the Hamilton National Bank of Chat
tanooga, Tenn., says:
That probably not in twenty-five
years has business in the United
States been on a better basis than it
is at present. The statisticians tell
us that it is about twenty per cent
above normal on the average. In
some lines I doubt if business is quite
normal. This is particularly true of
agriculture interest, but the agricul
ture interest is in far fetter shape
than it has been for several years.
That there is a tendency for the
banks, other business interests and
agriculture to co-operate along sane
and sensible lines. This is infinitely
better for agriculture than any polit
ical remedies that could possibly be
suggested. The political remedies
suggested for the benefit of agricul
ture nine times out of ten would be
harmful if applied rather than bene
ficial.
That when the business tide is run
ning so high it is time for everyone
to be conservative.
That there is a tendency for in
stallment buying to go beyond the
lines of safety. Installment buying
is all right, but if the earning of the
purchaser is discounted too far into
the future it may greatly lessen con
sumption later. Most people agree
that deferred payments should never
extend beyond the life of the article
purchased. Even to come well with
in this limit would be safer.
There never were fewer clouds in
the industrial sky than now.—Copy

If a fellow never was a promising
man before, he very soon becomes
one after he gets married.

CAUGHT ON THE CURB
Bug Martin says that every time
he gets home and fails to behold his
daughter before a mirror propelling
the paint and powder or just in a
state of silent admiration, he knows
right well that she is either sick or
has gone visiting.
Jabe Hankins, who has never kept
a dollar long enough for it show its
friendship toward him, came down
from Mountain Valley the other day
and in discussing the banking situa
tion stated that bankers had two
faces, one with smiles as balmy as
the sunlight when you paid them in
terest and another which carried
your thoughts to the land of the mid
night sun when you talked of bor
rowing money.

Arthur Eanes has become some
what famous in the matter of taking
vacations, and he. recently was heard
to remark that all this talk about the
hospitality of the South would have
more effect on him if somebody

would rent a cottage at the seashore ;
and prevail on him to be a guest
there a few weeks.

These latter years have brought
their difficulties to those who follow
the plow, but Tobe Allen with his us
ual optimism, says t'hat if he can pull
through this year he figures that
somebody will die and leave his wife
something before another crop is sup
posed to get ripe.

The neighbors of Bud Richardson,
whose alleged ill health has detained
him from labor for several years,
have decided that his hold on life re

John Bowles, the laziest man in
Greystone district and one of the
county’s biggest liars, was in town a
few days ago telling a good story on
his son. The boy was sent out one
morning to plow and when his father
later went to the field he found the
mule under the shade of a tree and
the boy sitting on the plow. When
Bowles asked his son if he were sick,
the boy answered, “Naw, I ain’t sick,
but I was about to sweat.” Bowles
claims that such is the attitude of a
number of people toward labor.

Judge G. O. Tee, who knows most
of the things that others have forgot
ten, while waiting pensively at the
postoffice a short time ago gave an
epitome of his political philosophy in
the following words: “Excepting

with the republican party.”

Wesley Finney has passed his days
contentedly at his home no less than
eight miles from the railroad. He
may occasionally be seen, however,
at the station at Axton. Just after
the train pulled mH one day Wesley
saw a belated traveller do a record
sprint in order to swing on to the
rear of the last coach. Whereupon
Wesley remarked, “If I could run
like that I never would bother with a
train,”
WOMAN IS CHARGED
WITH THEFT OF CAR
SYLVESTER, Ga.-—On Thursday
night two women giving their names
as Mrs. Gladys Culpepper and Mrs.
Mildred Nelson, aijd designating Al
bany as their place of residence were
arrested by Policeman Matthews on
the streets of Sylvester driving an
automobile while in a drunken con
dition, it is said.
The officer, it is said, observed
that the car was doing a sort of
Charleston. He stopped the car and
asked Mrs. Culpepper for a drink and
in an obliging manner she handed
him her bottle of joy water. He'
then proceeded to 'arrest the pair,
turning them over to the sheriff for
disposition. They were placed in
jail, and the next morning Sheriff
Tarver of Dougherty county came
over and took the Culpepper woman
to Albany to answer a charge of
stealing an automobile from a man
named Jones, of that place.
Mrs. Nelson had with her a crip
pled six year old baby clad only in a
night gown. The baby was carried
to jail with her. She was later re
leased without any charge being
made against her.
