man system. The discovery.as it was
emblazoned to the world met '.he vis
ion of Dr. Crawford W. Ixmg. of
Georgia.
Four years prior to this time Dr.
Long had used other in the same way
and for the same purpose and had con
/sMerably celebrated its use In the

’ not bragged about his suggestion

j Long was the real discoverer of an-
jacthesia and as such accorded him
jthat measure of credit that he deserv
'd. It was resognized and accepted by
others throughout the country after a

The example of Thomas In hav
ing its life-story written is wor
thy of emulation by every county
in the State of Georgia. It would
he a fine thing if Georgia could
he the first state in the United
States in which there should be
written a history of each separate
county composing it. The Thom
asville Tiries-Enterprise is per
forming a distinct service for
Thomas county and for the state
particularly the southern portion
of Georgia, in being the spirit
back of the production of a his
tory of Thomas county which Is
soon to appear. The history of
Thomas county cannot fail to bo
of real interest to the people of
that county and to the people of
the State generally. — Savannah
Morning News.
It was at the request of the Thom a-
illo Times-Enterprise that W. I. Mac
ntyre prepared the history of Thom
s county—obtaining the accurate
data from many sources and with in
finite patience and care. The Times-
Enterprise has done no one thing for
its county and section that exceeds in
far-reaching importance this work of
inspiring the compilation of the his
tory of a great county. The history
wMl be informative, educational, in
spiring, helpful In a thousand ways —

of vital statistics In Georgia. The q , j m p a .Enterprise in speaking of It
United States is not able to properly 1
make up vital statistics that pertain j
to this state because the state itself
has heretofore taken no steps to oh j

THOMASVILLE, GA., NOT OVER
TOP IN REp CROSS DRIVE.
A friend in the East wrote the other
day to Thomasville: “Saw in the pap
er where Thomasville, N. C., was first
to go over thetop in the Red Cross
drive. Don't see how they made
mistake and put it Thomasville, N. C.
Congratulations to dear old Thomas
ville.”
But it was Thomasville, N. C., sure
enough and for the second time in con
secutive years. Thomasville, Ga., is
not in that class by any means, it has
not even done Its full duty yet and
the campaign has been on for nearly
week. It is true that we are far
ahead of many communities in the
Red Cross list and it is growing every
day but we haven't done our bit by
any means.
The Red Cross calls for everybody’s
heip. It asks but one dollar
year’s membership and wants a thou
sand in Thomasville. There have
been over seven hundred. Are there
any more who are willing to join the
Red Cross and assist it in caring for
the wounded soldiers, the gased and
blinded men and in taking care of the
sick and distressed in all accidents
that occur at home? Now is the time
to send in the dollar and you may be
sure it could be put to no better cause,
everybody a basis for the adding each
few years of a chapter or two a gropr
ing story of progress and development
and growth.
The history of Georgia would be
easier to write if the history of each
county bad been compiled as the
counties grew.—Waycross Journal
Herald.

The matj. who “views with alarm”
has lost his job; the question, “whith
er are we drifting” is passed, as the
boys from France say. We are there;
we have landed somewhere; the only
question being, ‘♦where are wfe at?”
As illustrative, take two announce
ments made last week. One was from
newspaper which is supposed to be
the accredited spokesman both for the
Republicans and the dominant so-call
ed . Democratic faction In this State,
(hat Mrs. W. H. Felton of Cartersville^
had been approved by the Georgia Re f
publicans as the representative from
this state to attend Harding’s peace
conference, to be held at Marion, O.,
in the near future, and that she would
also be urged by the Georgia Repub
licans as a member "of HardingV wom
an fJtivisory cabinet. 1 hen, on Satur
day, came the announcement that
Chairman W. J. Vereen, of the Geor
gia State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, in naming the women mem
bers of that Committee, in accordance
with instructions of the Maoon Con
vention. had named Mrs. \V. H. Fel
ton, of Bartow', as one of the two mem
bers of tho Committee from the State-
at-Large! Here we have the same
woman recommended by Georgia Re
publicans for a place on the Cabinet
of the Republican President-elect,
and appointed by the Chairman of tho
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee to one of the two highest plvvss
thereon. j
Isn’t that enough to make Georgi,
Democrats scratch their heads and
wonder into what camp they have
landed J j

both women and gray hairs. They j
will perhaps smile again and let it go
at that.—Tifton Gazette.

It is lengthy and takes up the
history of the county from its for
mation to the present generation.
As a document It is Invaluable
and the Times-Enterprise Is going
to see that it is preserved and we
hope added to as time goes on so
as to correctly interpret the best
traditions as well as most sub
stantial progress and development
of the county. The history of it
self will he well worth reading by
every citizen of the county.
It would be a fine thing, as the Sa
vannah paper suggests. If every coun- j
ty of the States has In existence—to
be added to as the years and genera- j
tions come and go—a well compiled,
reliable, authentic history. Many
counties have “histories’’; a number
have such histories as the Thomas
county story, dependable and correct.,
several have histories which are vital- j
ly a part of the general history of tho
State and the nation. The older coun- j
ties have histories which would take
time to dig out and record in consecu-
tive ordet*. Some of the “medium- j
agpd” counties would find the task of
collecting the data and compiling the
matter for the history no small task j
The new counties, like those just au-1
thorized, could easily set on foot e I
plan to begin the history making aim-;
ultaneously with the Institution of the
new county government and then 1
keep adding the new facts to the rec
ord as the years gradually swell to
decades. The story of the organiza

There are many Tractors clamoring for the patronage of the farmer. The very air is charged with the noise of
claims. One would think that all the farmer had to do was to buy a Tractor and he would enter into the Millennium.
Well, consider this fact—there are a great many different makes of tractors. Tractors have been on the Ameri-
. can market for twenty years. In that time some three hu-ndred thousand Tractors have been sold to the farmers in
the United States. The Fordson Tractor has only been on the market two years, and in that time more than one
hundred thousand Fordson Tractors have been sold to the farmers of the United States.
Two and two make four. Two and two always will make four. If the Fordson Tractor had not delivered more
* good work, more satisfactory work, more economical work, than any other farm Tractor, it would not have sold in
the ratio of anywhere from five and more to one. ‘‘The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” The proof of the su
perior merits of the Fordson Tractor is in its larger sale and use.
The Fordson Tractor then asks you to buy it because of what it has done for your neighbors. It asks you to
buy it on its merits. It asks you to buy it, Mr. Farmer, because y»o have use for it every day in the year. All the
uses for the Fordson Tractor have not yet been uncovered because new places where- machine power can take the
place of human power, where machine power cart supplant horse and mule power, are being found every week, and
wherever such discovery occurs, the Fordson Tractor will fill the bill more satisfactorily than any other ’form of
power.
The Fordson.is simple in design, and it is very strongly made of the highest tpuifilv of iron and steel. It is the,
product of the greatest mechanical genius the world has ever known, and it is m<-s e on mical in'first cost and after
expense. The Fordson Tractor on your farm will increase the value of every foot, of ground in that farm. It will
put more dollars and cents into every hour you put into the farm.
Now why not have a Fotdson right away? Take up the subject with us. Come in and get the details, and all
the particulars. It is only a matter of time until you buy a farm Tractor—that is sure. So don’t put it off when it
means money to you to act promptly. •>
