Old Ireland still is full of ire;
With hate the island is a-flre;
Instead of “Emerald” ’tin blood-red—
A bludgeon for each Irish head;
But come it soon, or come it late,
We’re banking strong on the Free
State.

So it really shouldn’t stir much storm
Just forsooth —likewise because—
He’s still agin our temperance laws.
Porhaps he now could raise some dust
Pulling the leg of the whiskey trust.
Here's more rocky and hard sledding
For those who are agin Volsteading:

Can each take turns at fixing fate
Of him who makes or totes or ’legs
The stuff in bottles, jars or kegs.
Wow! How those Irish love one an

MYSTERIOUS PAINS AND ACHES.
Make Life Hard to Bear For Many
Cedartown Women.
Too many women mistake their
pains and aches for troubles peculiar
to tho sex. More often disordered
kidneys are causing the aching back,
dizzy spoils, headaches and irregular
urination. Kidney weakness becomes
dangerous if neglected. Use a time-
tried kidney remedy —Doan’s Kidney
PillB. Hosts of people testify to their
merit. Read a Cedartown case:
Mrs. W. J. Wood, Prior St., says:
“My housework was a burden to me
and it was on account of sharp dig
ging pains that stabbed in the small
of my back. Everytime I stooped it
was torture for me to straighten a-
gain. I was dizzy and black specks
passed before my eyes. 1 became
terribly nervous nnd everything irri
tated me. My kidneys did not act
right at all. It was just by using one
box of Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I
got at Bradford’s Drug Store, that I
began to enjoy doing my housework,
free from pains in my back and the
irregular action of my kidneys."

Bad men cun nlwnys find a basis
for agreement and huve no trouble
getting together. And tho better
some people think they arc, the more
determined they are to have their own
way. That is why evil so often
triumphs.
The State Supreme Court last week
cleared the way for hundred per cent
assessments against stockholders of
insolvent hanks if necessary to pay
depositors in full, when it declared
constitutional tho law creating the
State Banking Department.
A small minority in Ireland has
decidod to kill everyone that doesn't
ngree with them ns to how their gov
ernment shall be run. The other side
is getting into the game now, howev
er, and there arc so many more of
them that DeValcra and his crazy
crew had better change their tactics
or lenve the country.

The bull-dog sailed his bark.
President Harding wants “teeth”
given to the Rail Board, or some body
to take its place, that can make its de
cisions effective. He has found that
neither public sentiment or public in
terest are given much consideration
by parties to a heated controversy.
Yet he would favor an international
court to settle difficulties beween na
tions that has no power but world
sentiment to enforce its finding. And
what would our own courts amount to
but for the fact that they have offic
ers with power to enforce their de
crees?
Banker Greene, of Fairburn, evi
dently does not appreciate the light
sentence he received for looting the
institution of which lie was an officer,
lie lavished his affections and the
bank's money on a woman outside of
his family, and got off with only a si
years sentence. As ids family is prom
inent, the jury that convicted him is
endorsing his application for parole
or pardon, which is now before the
Governor and Prison Commission. If
he is turned loose, it will be another
incentive to crime for young men —
and they really don’t need any more.
Another Blunder.
In the perfectly natural and ex
pected attack made last week by Gov.
Hardwick on Georgia’s temperance
laws, he used an illustration which
sounds stronger than it probably is in
reality.
The Governor said that in some
Georgia county a negro’s house was
searched for stolen goods. Nothing
of the sort was found, but in the bed
ding was found hidden a pint of liq
uor, tho negro was sent to the chain-
gang for twelve months, and when the
Governor found it out he pardoned
him.
If this is all of the story, the court
that imposed such a penalty for such
an offenBe Is worthy of the severest
censure, and tho Governor is to be
commended.
We cannot help but wonder, how
ever, whether or not the Governor
went into the ense as fully as he
should. Bear in mind that it was in
a search for stolen goods that this
liquor was found. The Governor is a
lawyer, and knows very well that the
question of character enters —and
should enter—into the imposing of
every sentence. The truth is that a
negro of even fairly good character
has white friends enough to keep him
out of the chaingang for any slight
infraction of the law. Personally, we
believe that the Judge who imposed
this sentence acted with this view
point in mind, and for the protection
of the law-abiding people of his com
munity. Unless the Governor thor
oughly investigated this feature of
the case, he made a mistake in turn
ing another criminal loose before his
time simply in order to bring our
temperanco laws into disrepute.
By the way, tho Governor had a
lot to say about law enforcement in
his recent campaigns. It is probable
that no one in Atlanta knows better
than he that the prohibition laws of
the state are being constantly and
flagrantly broken. Is he helping to
enforce or break them?
Coming to It.
Article 12 of President Wilson’s
famous "Fourteen Points” was as
follows:—
“Tht Dardanelles should be perm
anently opened as a free passage to
the ships and commerce of all nations
under International guarantees.”
Last week at tho Lousanne Confer
ence for consideration of perplexing
Nonr East problems, Ambassador
Child by direction of President Hard
ing and Secretary of State Hughes
not only uphold this policy but spec
ifically promised American aid in
guaranteeing the freedom of the
straits. He deciased tha “no nation
would ho rendier than the United
States to uphold the good sense of
maintaining a sufficient naval force
to act as the police of the free seas;
to protect its citizens nnd their ships
wherever they might be; to suppress
piracy and other menaces, nnd to act
nt times for the public good and give
relief to the suffering just ns tho
ships of war have recently done in the
Near East.
Gradually it is dawning on some
folks that policing to prevent war is
far better thnn war.
But in the meantime, Mr. Child is
nt Lnusnnnc merely ns an "observer,”
and while he can talk yet has no vote.
Maybe Governor Hardwick will run
for something or other on an anti
prohibition platorm. That seems to
be gettng popular in some sections of
the country.—Rome Tribune.
You have noticed, though, that in
nearly every place they have tried it,
they got badly left.
Georgia Baptist Convention, in ses
sion in Atlnnta last week, adopted by
unanimous vote one of the most
scathing denunciations of lynching on
record, and called upon the good cit
izenship of the country as represent-
ted in the churches to sound its
death knell. Whatever the pretext,
said the Convention, lynching is mur
der, barbarous, heathenish and diabo-
licnl, a cancer on sociey, and a dis
grace to civilization. Mobs it de
nounced as a menace to government
society and the church.
Bre’r Shope, of the Dalton Citizen,
nnd Bre’r McIntosh of the Herald,
are having an interesting argument
as to the location of God’s country.”
We are glad to be able to throw-
some light on the subject, and their
nt ration is called to the fact that all
the internal, external, contemporane
ous nnd extraneous evidence shows
that our Cedar Valley was the site of
the Garden of Eden. Now if Shope
nays, “Adam site,” we will try to
Eve-n up with him if we have to snake
his apple-jack away from him.—Ce-
dartown Standard.
Oh, go way. The first thing you
know, we’ll he tolling something on
you. And then again, we have a Cedar
Ridge in this county, the vantage
point from which the oracles spake
when this section was originally pro
claimed “God’s Country.— Dalton

The poll tax of a woman who has
reached the ape of twenty-one this
year dates from 1922.
Some women think they will never
want to vote, and are not paying
their poll tax this year. The law
gives them this privilege.
But—
The time is coming when they will
want to vote—when some kinsman
will be running for office and will
want their ballot very much indeed,
—and then they will have to “dig up”
a dollar for 1922 and for each
succeeding year.
No executions will be issued against
women who decline to pay poll tax if
they do not vote. If they vote, they
have to pay, of course.
Some women may think they are
saving money by not paying poll tax
and voting now, but the probability
is strong that they will work a hard
ship on themselves by letting the un
paid tax receipts accumulate against
them in the Tax Collector’s office.
The time is coming when most of
them will want to vote, and —take it
from us—it is easier to pay a dollar
a year than several dollars at one
time.
A Word to Women. The Southern Farmers’
Treasure Island.
Approximately 790,000 crates of
pineapples grown on the little Island
of Cuba will find their way into the
. markets of the United States. This is
a lot of pineapples and involves an
| outlay of from three to four million
good hard American dollars. Three
hundreds of thousands of crates of
pineapples are loaded into cars at
shipping points in the interior of
Cuba and then they are hauled over
the Cuban railroad to Havana, and
are ferried across the Gulf to Key
| West. From there they are distrib-
I uted throughout the country. The
whole pineapple story is one full of
j keenly interesting details. However,
the point is: Why can’t we send these
cars hack to Cuba loaded with butter,
eggs, and other products of Southern
farms? Of course, we are not pre
pared to do that now but what is to
keep us from preparing? Wouldn’t
, the swap be worth our while?
I Possibly the fact that railroad com
munication has been established be
tween the United States and Cuba
may be a matter of news to some of
i our readers. Yet cars have been
j crossing the little stretch of water be
tween Key West and Havana on boats
for a number of years. Even live
hogs are shipped from the South to
markets in Cuba. As time goes on we
may expect trade between our coun
try and these neighbors to grow to
enormous volume. As a matter of
fact, it has reached tremendous vol
ume already.
During the fourteen months ending
Aug. 31, 1922, 2,497 cars of farm
products cleared through Key West
alone for Cuba. Among these were
782 carloads of eggs. Missouri
think of it—shipped 35 more cars
; thar - shipped from all the states of
I the South put together. Of the 34
| cars of butter that cleared through
this port, the South shipped 2, one
from Birmingham and one from
Louisville. It is interesting to note
that 11 cars of butter came from
clear across the continent right
through the South and sold to a mar
ket that ought to be our own, and will
be as soon as we get in the game, but
won’t be until we do.
The volume of shipping accounted
for here is only a part of the story.
It does not include the shipments
through Tampa, Mobile, New Orleans,
Houston, Galveston, and other coast
John Wanamaker, Philadelphia’s
merchant prince, died Tuesday. His
great business was built on extensive
advertising coupled with square deal
ing.
There has been more building in
Cedartown during 1922 than during
the ten previous years all together.
And still the demand for houses con
tinues pressing.
The United States Supreme Court
made an important decision Monday
to the effect that both the federal and
state government can prosecute and
punish the same unlawful act in the
manufacture, transportation or sale
of intoxicating liquors. Heretofore it
has been generally considered that the
action of one court was sufficient.
Farms for Sale.

Cedartown and the other about six.

points, but what we have shown ia
sufficient to indicate the vast oppor
tunity the South already has right At
her door. And, of course, Cuba is
going to grow and business is going
to grow, too.
The important question is whom is
this business going to grow up be
tween—the folks of the South and
Cuba or those farthest removed from
that country, as is the case now? It
would serve the best interest of both
Cuba and the South if we were sup
plying their markets. Such plan would
cave them freight and give them
fresher products.
We do not have to stop to figure
out whether they are going to need
the products of this country or not;
they are buying them already beyond
the South, of course, and having them
shipped right by us. If our business
people and market specialists are on
the job a different story will be to tell
in the future—the near future. Cuba
is going to be somebody’s “treasure
island.”—Southern Ruralist.

That the country needs transporta
tion facilities rather than reduoed
freight rates is the asserton of J. D.
McCartney, Assistant to President,
Central of Georgia Railway. He calls
attention to the absence of new rail
way construction during recent years
and to prevalent car shortage which
has manifested itself just at the be
ginning of a revival of business. He
says the only way by which the people
can assure themselves that the rail
ways will be able to carry on their
business is to permit the roads to
earn a sufficient net return to attract
new capital for extensions, improve
ments and additional rolling stock. He
says, too, that the real cause of the
farmer’s troubles is the disparity be
tween what he pays for the things ho
buys and what he gets for the things
ho sells.
