We like to see men reach their
goals—
Hope Ford will get the Mussel
Shoals.
The “big boys," though, up North
don’t bank
So very heavy on old Hank,
And they will squelch his wondrous
plan
If there’s any way on earth they can.
Dime novel boys thought Frank Du-
Pre
Was quito a “lion” while he was free.
Always a coward, though, at heart
Now e’en a mouse can make him
start.
He dreads to pondor with each
j breath,
“The wagfcs bf my sin is death.”
Atlanta has fifty new police,
But thoy might as well be fifty geese
Unless they have the power to go
After the high as well as low.
When they have to play “hands off”
for some
And pick up only some poor bum
Who can’t afford a lawyor smart,
They might as well push a popcorn
cart.
Pope Benedict XV died
and the Roman Catholics
world are in mourning.
Sunday,
of the
Irish* peaco wilt take away the in
centive In this country for the pop
ular political pastime of “twisting
tho British lion’s tall.’’
The coming of the boll weevil
makes It necessary to use some
“head work" In farming. The only
sura way to figure a profit instead of
loss is to raise your own food and
feed supplies-
The only right way to do when a
bond issue is voted is to carry out
the promises by which the favorable
vote was secured, and we are glad to
say that our County Commissioners
have had no other idea than to Jo
this.
Our old friond and former journ
alistic comrade, Trox Bankston of
West Point, is going to make anoth
er "try-out” for State Railroad Com
missioner. He made his second race
in the last election; and if he gains
as much in his third race as he did in
that, he will be a winner.
Eisowhore in this issue we pub
lish a statement from the -central
Railway that is well worth your
reading. This enterprising com
pany believes in taking the people
into its confidence, and with this in
view a man who knows the people—
our good friend Jack McCoutney,
formerly editor of the Rome Tribune,
has been made assistant to- President
Winburn.
"Labor” as well as “business"
must get rid of a lot of rottenness.
In some of the big cities of the coun
try, for Instance, it has been found
that contractors and union bosses
had conspired to practice extortion
on people undertaking to build, and
in New York City it is found that
the electrical workers’ union would
not adroit any more members but
would “permit” non-union men to
work if they each paid $3.60 a week
to the union I Contractors and Uni
ons there have united in a big game
of graft
One of the most damnable bills ev
er fathered by sectionalism is tho
Dyer anti-lynching bill, which is be
ing pressed for passage by partisan
Republicans. Lynching is wrong —.
was wrong in principle when the
West found it tho only way to stop
horse-stealing. It is wrong in prin
ciple today as a punishment for any
crime, though in cases of rape the
wrong is chiefly in its brutalizing ef
fect on a community and not on the
victim of the mob. There is only one
effective way to stop lynchings, and
that is for human beasts —black or
white— to stop the crime of rape.
Lynching for any oher crime is abso
lutely indefensible from any point of
view. To put a fino of $10,000 on
any county in which a lynching oc
curs, and on every county through
which a mob of lynchers may pass,
however, is an outrage on innocent
people. It is not taxpayers who gen
erally compose or can prevent a mob
Buy it in Cednrtorvn.
A Sordid Story.
Gone is what little of glamor of
romance that first appeared in the
case of Frayk DuPre, “the Peach
tree bandit," who killed one man and
almost fatally wounded another in
making his escape from a daylight
burglary in an Atlanta jewelry store.
Gone is the daring desperado, and in
-his place was a scared boy ready to
cry when the officers brought him
back to Atlanta heavily handicuffed
laBt week.
Instead of a “young innocent,” it
is now known that he had worked
other burglaries, and it is not im
probable that he is guilty of at least
one other murder.
And the woman in the case —In
stead of “Betty Andrews,” a strand
ed actress from New York, as she at
first represented herself to be,— is
the daughter of a Gainesville painter
named Guest. She went to Atlanta
as a telephone girl, and married
barber named E. J. Anderson, whom
she left a few weeks ago to go with
DuPre, and who is now very natural
ly suing her for divorce.
DuPre simply belongs to the
growing gang of young criminals,
who—just as some women depend on
their sex to save them from punish
ment— rely on their youth to en
able them to escape Justice. Other
boys sec how easily the game is play
ed, and their love of adventure leads
them to follow their false “heroes”
In paths of crimo.
DuPre claims that he and Betty
"killed” a bottle of “moonshine”
just before the crimo, and that he
was too drunk to know what ho was
doing, but he was sober enough to
shoot to kill one man and was shoot
ing to kill another, for nothing but a
merciful providence kept his second
buiiot from going the other half-inch
that would have made it fatal. He
was sober enough, too, to know right
where to go at once to make plans
for a safe get-away from the city.
We are frank to say that our sym
pathies are entirely with the widow
of tho man DuPre killed and with
tho man ho wounded, and we have
none to waste on the burglar-murder-
or. And, by the way, every burglar
is at heart a murderer, for he will
kill to carry out his crimo or to make
his get-away.
From the depths of our hearts we
pity the two fathers who have blind
ly Insisted that their son and daugh
ter could do no wrong,'In spite of the
evidence and actual confessions.
Wo regret to have to say It, but In
the crime wave now sweeping over
the country it is becoming more and
more necessary to run down and pun
ish the young criminals, for they arc
gotting to be the worst of all. This
punishment is not to be regarded as
vengeance, but as a warning to oth
ers and a protection to law-abiding
people everywhere.

FOR THE
The Bright Side.
Can your calamity chatter! While
it would take a “cheerful idiof’to be
such an optimist as to claim that ev
erything Is just as it should be, the
gloom-dispenser who can see nothing
good Is equally out of place. The
truth Is that the coming of spring
will probably find such a demand for
labor hero that we will not find It
possible to house .the workers. Thera
Is nothing visinary about this. Our
industries are now all runnng; tho
Birmingham district furnaces are
starting up, and this will open our
mines; and the building of school
houses, putting down sewers and car
rying out the plans for street work
under our recent city bond election,
will make things hum in Cedartawn
this spring and summer, to say noth
ing of the county road work. “Smile,
durn you, smile I”
Be Cautious.
Don't cash Central Railway checks
for strangers —In fact, it is danger
ous to cash checks for anyone you do
not know.
Comptroller W. B. McKinstry, of
the Control, sent the following tele
gram Monday from Savannah to the
Commercial Bank hero —
Savannah, Jan. 23, 1922.
“It has come'to our notice that
there is being circulated a forged
printed issuo or issues of this Cbm-
pnny’s pay chocks^ The check that
has been presented for payment
bears in upper right hand corner se
rial letters “SM-B” and is dated
“January 16, 1922” and reads for
services rendered during “January
1922." Our authentic pay checks
for services rendered during Janu
ary, 1922, and subsequent months of
1922 bear serial letters "SM-C” or
“C” in upper right hand corner. This
is to serve notice that checks bearing
letters described in second paragraph
above reading for services rendered
in any month of 1922 are forgeries
and must not be cashed. It may ho
that checks of other series have been
forged including “SM-C” and “C”
series, therefore extreme caution
hould be exercised in cashing pay
checks of this Company.”

Permanent Pastures.
The basis of success in the most
prosperous farming sections during
normal times is the raising of live
stock. Georgia is admirably suited
for stock-raising, her only lack being
permanent pastures that can be read
ily secured.
Mr. J. C. Hand, who haB made such
a success of stockraising, asks us to
again call the attention of our read
ers to the pamphlet on “Practical
Permanent Pastures” published by
the Central Railway in a wise endea
vor to build up prosperous farming
along its lines. Through this well-
directed effort a total of 2 tons of
Dallis grass, 3 tons of Carpet grass
and 0 tons of Lespedeza seed were
sown In Central Railway territory
during February and March, 1921.
The first two are never expected to
give much grazing the first year, but
the Lespedeza gave fair grazing. The
latter has an especially good reputa
tion as a soil-builder besides its fine
pasture qualities.
We would suggest that our land-
owners who are at all interested in
this —and all of them should be —
write at once to J. F. Jackson, Agri
cultural Agent of tho Central, Sava.,
nah, for fuller information. It is one
of the most effective ways in the
world of “bucking Billy Boll Weevil.’
Hutcheson Not in Race
A very Interesting item of news is
that Hon. J. R. Hutcheson, Solicitor
General of the Tsliapoosa . Circuit,
will not stand for re-election. Neith
er will he run for Judge, as has been
reported, but will take at least a
four years rest from politics. He is
an able and popular official, and has
made a most excellent record. His
decision comes as a complete surprise
to the people, who will regret to lose
his services as a capable and fearless
prosecutor.
Sunday, Feb. 12th, is Georgia’s
birthday. A special program has
been arranged by- the Georgia Sun
day School Association, and a free
copy may be secured by writing to
the headquarters of this association
at 1917 Hurt Building, Atlanta. The
program deals with the founding of
the state of Georgia with a govern
ment based on “wisdom, justice and
moderation,” and the needs of Geor
gia today in the matter of religiously
educating the large number who are
being untouched by any Sunday-
School.

LEE’S BIRTHDAY
With Hon. L. S. Ledbetter presid
ing as master of ceremonies in his
own inimitable manner, the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy carried out
an eXcollent program Thursday in
observance of the anniversary of the
birth of the immortal Lee. There
was a pleasing musical program, and
Master Springer Wood recited "The
Sword of Lee.”
Rev. Frank Quillian was the speak
er of the occasion, and made interes
ting references to salient faeta in the
life of the great chieftain of the
Confederacy, who loved the Union so
well that he declared If he owned all
the slaves in the South he would
gladly give them to preserve it, but
valiantly unsheathed his sword in
defence of his native state and ita
constitutional rights. He paid elo
quent tribute to the purity of char
acter, the sincere unselfishness and
the nobility of life of the matchless
hero, who was no less heroic in peace
than in war.
Following the exercises the Daugh
ters served one of their splendid din
ners for the veterans at the Baptist
Annex, which was thoroughly enjoy
ed and appreciated.

The Federal laws close the dove
season Jan. 81st, and County Game
Wardens have been requested to re
port the killing of doves in February
to the Federal Warden, with a prom
ise of reimbursement for any ex
pense in securing evidence. While
the state law allows the killing of
doves until March 1st, you are likely
to get into bad trouble with Uncle
Sam if you violate his regulations.
Remember, too, that baiting fields
is illegal, and that you must not ex
ceed the bag limit at any time.
And bear in mind that it's illegal
to kill robins at any time.
ATTENTION, EX-SERVICE MEN!
Here’s news! Good news! On
Jan. 2d, new rules concerning re
instatement became effective, and
your chance to get this insurance a-
gain was extended. Call at once on
Maj. Homer Watkins, Commander
