CONDEMNS PISTOL TOTING
“We would accomplish more for the safety and
I Bkcredness of human life by doing away with the
I ipistol than hv scrapping ten battleships,” declared
■Chief City Magistrate McAdoo of New York City a
few days ago while speaking before a meeting of the
International Police Conference,
i ■ Continuing Mr. McAdoo said, “Even the ladies,
God bless them, have taken to carrying guns, and it
hvon’t be long before the bride will march to the altar
with the family pistol strapped to her waist.”
“The pistol is coming to he the national badge of
the American. Our reputation is smirched as a lot
pf shooters and gun-carriers. And we’ll never get
linywhere until we do away with the notion that to
have a gun gives the honest citizen and advantage
«ver the crook.
ln>'T have been held up and I’m glad that I had no
gun. If there had been one on me I know the two lit
tle amateur thugs that held me up would have hit me
6n the head after taking it from me.”
S Magistrate McAdoo in right. The habit of pistol
toting in this country has become so general that al
lhost every altercation results'in one or more of the
participants being shot. Homicides nre almost un
heard of in England and many other countries and
authorities attribute the low rate mainly to the strin
gent anti-pistol laws of these countries. Our state
laws are too lax in reference to fire arms and when it
is realized that human life *i.H more sacred than the
making of money by the fire arms trusts we may have
them tightened. In Argentine having a pistol without
a license is a prison offense and killing a man in self-
defense with a pistol does not excuse the man doing
the killing if he did it with a gun for which he had ho
license. '
Too many of our people whip out a pistol as they
might a pocket knife and as loiijf as our pistol laws
are as lax ns they nre, and those thnt we have en
forced as loosely as they are conditions are going to
become worse instead .of better.

edition of thirty pages filled with foreign and local

Professor William II. McCabe is buried in New
York City. He died on the exact date he predicted a
month previously. Figured it out by the conjunction
of planets and occultism of astrology, to which he
devoted his life. The superstitious will never forget
it. The simple truth is, McCabe’s death was either
a coincidence or the result of imagination. He was
in good health until he predicted his death.

Governor Percival P. Baxter,
of Maine, has risen above pet
ty jealousies and sectional
prejudices and demanded that
every Confederate battle flag cap
tured during the Civil war by tho
soldiers of Maine he returned to
the Southern states from which
they came. Governor Baxter said:
“It does without doubt mean
iny isolltical death, but I Insist
that every Confederate battle
flag captured by Maine regi
ments in the Civil war be re
turned to the Southern states
from which they came.”
Governor Baxter is a statesman
and a red-blooded American In
every sense of the word. lie has
the backbone and manhood to stand
| p.-t for that which he believes to
be right, and Ills people should j
show their appreciation of bis t
frankness, broad and liberal-. H

THE COLD STORAGE plant is

A CITIZEN of Bogart says that

■ t . South Georgia has come to the front in the meat
industry which has grown to be one of the best paying
of all resources in thnt section. The Wrightsvillc
’ Headlight has the following to-say of the hog sale
held there last week :
I Four big car loads of hogs were sold here
Wednesday of last week to the highest bidder,
the largest lot of hogs in weight yet sold at any ‘
; . co-operative sale since they began in this county
i two years ago. There were 60,247 pounds of the
mix-fed hogs, which sold at a price of $7.17 for
... tops. *
* _ There is no reason why North Georgia should not
do as much in hog raising as have the people of South
~ Georgia. The climatic conditions arc mild and vege-
attlon is in growth the yeo,r round making it inexpen
sive to raise hogs. With a determined effort on the
part of the farmers meat sufficient to supply home
consumption could be raised nnd a large surplus for
the markets. Georgia-raised meat is just as good as
Western raised meat anti its production costs far less.
Every farmer should see to it that a sufficiency of
meat is raised for his needs and like the South,Geor
gia farmer pool his surplus and sell to the market, the
proceeds being additional income from his farm
production.
The time has come when we must utilize our. re
sources, and with practical economy practiced there
arc many wajl in which this section of the state can
be made the richest of all. The opportunities and the
resources are here—it is up to us to develop them
and profit from thnt which we arc now throwing
* away or else not taking advantage of the things
which arc right here under ouV eyes and awaiting
■ our development.
! THE BIBLE CONFERENCE
-c.The Bible Conference has come and gone. "It was
a fine event for Athon!. The men and women who
have stood by this religious event euch year should
. receive the thanks of the people of this section for
having made it possible to hoar such earnest and pro
ficient students of the Bible the last two weeks.
...Athens Is proud to claim as her very own two of'
the distinguished men who preached during the Con-
» ference. The other,- Dr. Len G. Broughton, is so well
known herd-that ho is regarded as a son of Athens.
We are happy to have had them here the last two

Daily Poem
There’s ff prospect most alluring
Jn the thought of motor-touring
And of gypsying the highways far
away from our abodes,
Till amid our contemplation,
We receive the information—
“Heaven help us, they've been
‘working on the roads'!"
We can navigate the washes
Where thfe water whirls and
sloshes,
We can ahug through dismal
marshes full of snakes and
frogs and toads;
But we raise a doleful chorus
When this terror Is before us,
Heaven help us, they've been
"working on the roada.”
For we know the perils lurk big
Where the highway gangs are
working,
How tboy dump the mud In moun
tains and tho atone in
mighty loads;
When no other vision daunts us
Here’s a fear that always haunts’
us—
Heaven help us, they’ve been
"working on thd roads."
Punturc, blowouts, engine trouble
Fret the owner of a bubble,
And he’s always getting tangled In

But there's none of these that
feazes
Liko that awrullcst of phrases,
Heaven help us, they’ve been
’’working on the roads."
