A PERPLEXING PROBLEM
A cairn and untroubled virion of
Georgia politics seems quite Impossi
ble. particularly aa the body of Sena
tor Watson has Just been lowered to
Its final reeting place In Georgia toll
If there was a time when Mr. Wataon
might have claimed ascendency to a
point where ho could rest from bla
labors and be content, that time had
come to Georgia. Like a flash It Js
destroyed and with the death of the
interpld leader of the masses comes
another era of political struggle that
is likely to prove very confusing and
perplexing in many respects.
e do not hesitate to state that in
opinion Tom Watson’s mantle Is
burled with him. No msn in Georgia
today knows how to keep political fol
lowers as Tom did and none have elth-
the necessary tact or magnetism to
it. Of course other factions and
forces will come into being but the
struggle is going to be something en
tirely different from what it has ever
been. It may work to Georgia's good
»nd It may not.
Whatever the outcome of the pres
ent situation there Is no reason why

J. T. Watt in hla comment on the
movement In Waycroas to secure an
Increased out-of-town trade sticks to
• method—marketing. Mr. Watt Is
accurate diagnostician In financial
affairs. He is Intimately acquainted
with business conditions In Waycross.
Therefore when he says that Way-
market the products grown
in the surrounding territory, hla state-
merits the most earnest consid
eration.
It is to be noted that the ambition
i become a marketing center makes
change in the attitude of the busi
ness man toward the customer. Just
aa the banka have progressed from the
old attitude of “How can 1 collect
from a customer what he owes ms'
to “How can I assist In building up
customer’s bank deposits and banking
business?" even so the merchant must
learn to progress beyond the old. atti
tude of how much he can sell the
tomur to how he can increase the
buying capacity of the customer.
This ambition to become a market-,
lng center will cause every merchant
in Waycross to realise that if the
people in the surrounding territory
hare more cash, the chances that more
cash can be spent in Waycross are
multiplied. If these people feel that
they made this money largely through
the efforts of JVaycross, the instinct
of gratitude Itself Is going to cause
reciprocation.
AU experience of marketing centers
goes to prove that when a man brings
products to a certain city to market
them, he will spend at least part of
the money so secured in the city
where the market Is located. How
