Savannah is to be headquarters
for the re-organized prohibition en
forcement raiding forces for Geor
gia and South Carolina. Nothing
like having things handy-like.
Up in rock-ribbed Republican
Maine in a special Congressional elec
tion last week, the Republicans lost
two-thirds of their normal majority
signiAcant straw which shows the
way the political wind is blowing.
Yea, verily, there is a difference—
a great, a very great difference —be
tween a League of All Nationa to
Enforce Peace by policing the world,
and an Alliance between only four
powerful nations to protect their own
interacts.
In some states burglary of a house
which has an occupnnt is punishable
by death. This is a law that Georgia
might well copy, for every burglar
enters a hourffe armed and ready to
kill if interfered with, and is a poten
tial murderer.
Giving employment 1b far better
than giving charity, except in cases
where sickness or death come to
family. See if you can’t And some,
thing for somebody to do. It’s the
best way of giving help that has ever
ever been found.
Difficulties.
Muscles that are unused become
Aabby and weak, and strength of any
kind comes only from exercise.
Goodness cannot be belied upon un
til it stands the test of temptation,
and character becomes strong only
it resists evil. .
‘Education made easy" does not
develop the mind and give the foun
dation for future development. Su
gar-coated pills of knowledge are
more agreeable to take, but they do
not develop into wisdom like the
roots and herbs” you got down and
dig out for yourself.
Country boys stand better chance
of amounting to something than
town boys, because they have to de
pend on themselves.
Peoples who live in the Tropics,
where "bread growa on trees," have
never amounted to much. Life Is so
easy that they do not have to exert
themselves.
All over the worjd the people of
the Temperate Zones arc the men
who “do things.” They are favored
by the boneAcent forces of nature,
and at the Bame time have to combat
its destructive elements enough to
develop their strength and make
them active and self-reliant. While
they do not individually regard these
difficulties as blessings, as a matter of
fact it iB in overcoming them that
they have found their own develop
ment.
And this brings us, brethren, to
twelfth and lastly.” It is up to us
in this year 1922 to determine for
ourselves whether the boll weevil
shall be a curse or a blessing to ub.
If we do not plan to Aght him,—if we
disregard the experience and warn.
Inga of those who "have been
through the mill," —if we plant more
than we can care for under boll wee
vil conditions,—we are going to get
hit so hard thia year that moat of us
will never live long enough to get ov.
er It. If, on the other hand, we have
ordinary common sense enough to
raise our own food and feed stuff,
with some over to sell forcish,—if we
plant not over Ave or six acres to the
plow, and follow the program rec
ommended by the Federal and State
Agricultural Departments,—if we do
wkat we ought to do, we will "beat
Billy to it,” and will make 1922 the
best year in our history. Any other
course spells ruin to the farmer and
his backers, but if this program is
pursued for the next Ave years wo
will be the most independent people
on earth.
If you arc going to regard the boll
weevil as "an act of Providence,”
and "lay down on the job,” you had
better not waste any time planting
cotton; but it would be iust as sen
sible for a man to say that God sent
the storm, and so he would stay out
in It, as to chargo the weevil up to
the Almighty without at the same
time giving Him credit for allowing
you enough sense to Aght it.
Too few people “use their heads"
about anything until they are forced
to do so, but it Is only by using the
head as well as the hands that diffic
ulties are overcome and success at
tained in any line.
The boll weevil is the greatest dlf-
Aculty now In our pathway. By Aght-
Ing him Intelligently we can make
ourselves stronger and can achieve
real prosperity.
Which will YQU make it—a curse
or a blessing? ....
The good women of Polk should
register this spring so as to be ready
to vote in the general election this
year. They will not havo to pay poll
tax for 1921, but should give in a
poll with the tax returns for 1922, to
be paid with the state and county
taxes this fall. Neglect or refusal to
vote does not relieve them from pay
ing poll tax, any more than it does a

rflvo you a garden growing at your
home? If not, get busy with it, for
it is one of the most valuable health
assets you can have. It is a pretty
safe proposition that anyone who eats
some green food every day will never
have pellagra, and there is nothing
more conducive to health anyhow.
Cooking destroys the priceless vita-
mines in many foods, and if “garden

the best things that can be put on

Some of Governor Hardwick’s
er-zealous friends started a statement
recently that he is freeing the state
from debt. Discounting the rentals
from the State Road for the next
five years pays a debt by creating a
future deficit, and in effect simply
gets more time on what we owe. We
do not criticize this sale of income
from the State Road, but the Gover

tily puzzled to provide that income.
It is no wonder that he has thought
seriously of not standing for re-elec

trlbution visiting them one of these
days for allowing the Turks to per

Armenia. It will be remembered
that the United States was given a
a mandate over Armenia after the
World War, the other nationa not
feeling able to undertake it, but we
“declined with thanks.”
Today the entire Mohammedan
world is arousing itself, and no one
need be surprised to see its gospel of
fire and sword extended soon in un
expected quarters. Western and
southern Asia and northern Africa
are in a ferment, the' Mohammedans
being encouraged by the weakness

from the dlsaensiona that have fol

as the first opportunity to regain
their power that they have had for
long centuries.
Germany tried to incite the Mos

she failed. The English position
much more difficult now, however,
nnd she has felt it wise to grant self-
government in Egypt and is working
hard to keep India in line. France
and Spain are both having much
trouble in their possessions in nor
thern Africa. Whether through the
plotting of some European power or
nott—(Russian Bolshevists are un
der suspicion,)—there is no doubt
that the widely scattered peoples of
Islam pretty thoroughly understand
one another, nnd are preparing to
work together.

Get the seed bed ready as soon as
possible, but don’t be in such a hurry
as to plow the land wet. Cloddy
land means a poor yield.
It will not pay to plant cotton on
land that normally produces leas than
half a bale to the acre, when you
have to fight the weevil. Select well-
drained upland for your cotton. Fer
tilize it well. A few acres well fer
tilized and cultivated will make mon
ey for you, when a big acreage
means loss.
Plant plenty of com for your own
use, with some to sell, using your
bottom lands for it And with your
com put in cither velvet beans, cow-
peas or soy beans. Fertilize and'cul
tivate well, and you will make your
com a profitable crop.

While imprisonment for life is for
many a more terrible punishment
than hanging, the average murderer
does not feel that way af>out it. He
knows that there is always the pos
sibility of making a get-away, or that
if he has money or friends he stands
a good chance to get a commutation,
parole or pardon after the enormity
of his crime is forgotten. There is a
sickly sentimentality in this country
on which murderers can pretty safely
count, and which is an alarming en
couragement for crime.
