Thoughts For The Day
The simple inherit folly; but the prudent are
crowned with knowledge.—Prcv. 14:18.
Prudence is the necessary ingredient in alt the vir-
tures, without which they degenerate into folly and
excess.—Jeremy Collier.
IT IS THE LAST CALL
Two more weeks and the cotton crop will be made
or lost.
South Georgia cotton growers were over
confident and qi-.it dusting and picking up squares
and now the boll weevil lias conquered the fainter
in that section of the state. The t imers in this
section, however, have conquered the boll weevil and
have the pest on the run. but unless the free use of
arsenic is kept up and the sour.res picked up from
.the fields during the next ten days or two weeks,
the lioll w.'evil will return and over night destroy one
of the best crops of cotton this section has ever
Khown. ...
The cool spell accompanied by rains wih revive the
activities of the boll tvuevil and cause them to multi
ply and migrate. They murt be fought with as much
determination now as was done in the beginning of
the season. This done and the weevil will be driven
from the cotton fields and the crop which is now al
most ready to harvest will be saved from the ravages
of the pest.
Take warning—dust with arsenic and poison with
whatever preparations you may be using and pick up
the squares and burn Hum. It is a fight to the fin
ish ; a victory for the boil weevil or for the farmer.
Which shall it be?
-THE OPENING OF SCHOOLS
The fall season is upon us and within the next
week the public schools and the State Normal School
■will commence the 1H23 and ’24 terms, to be follow-
erf’with the opening of the Lucy Cobb Institute and
.the University of Georgia.
/ .Now i* the season when everyjne begins to pre-
f bard for the fall and winter months by laying in a
I supply of coal, wood and buying fall and winter
shoes and clothing. Especially is this true for the
" children. Next week every parent having children
T of school age will be rushing here and there buying
k books, tablets, pens, inks, shoes and clothing for the
, schoolchildren. They will have to have these things
for the children and the bookstores, clothing, shoe
i and drygoods stores will have a rush supplying the
j, depiand for the boys’ suits and the girls’ dresses,
V shoes and hats for both boys and girls. It is like the
holiday season and the earlier you do.your shopping,
thU better it is for everyone. Do not wait until next
' Week tb do your shopping, but commence now. The
prieds will be the same this week ns next-and you
will find more time to make your selections and
avoid the usual rush which comes during the last few
.days before the. opening of the schools.
r ' -The merchants who have prepared for this occa-
: skin should let it bo known and announce the many
. blrt'gahv offering* they have in stock.
R - ft is School time and the time when every parent
will be searching the stores for the many things they
' * must have for the children before entering school.
DEPLORING THE PUBLICITY
It is nn/ounced from Savannah that many of the
I conservative and law-abiding citizens have criticised
ami complained of the publicity given to the arrest
and trials of the “bootleggers" in that city, by the
lofi&l newspapers and correspondents of other news
papers through Jhe country.. The criticism of the
local citizens has been based upon the harm which
■worn! come to Savanqab on account of the reputation
the city would receive from outside sources. We do
not agree with the Savannah citizens, but,agree ab
solutely with the newspapers and correspondents.
The fact that the federal and state officers have the
grit and. nerve to unearth and run down an organiza
tion so well fortified and backed, by some of the
strongest influences in the city, proves the determina
tion on the part of the officers to do their duty and
that the best interests end citizenship are in sym
pathy with the enforcement of the law and are benf
on ridding that city of undesirable citizens and law-
breakers. The publicity given to the occurrence
w ill help Savannah in the eyes of the outside world
and lend encouragement to those who may become
homeseekers and investors in that city.
The discovery of such a gigantic organization,"sell
ing and distributing the contraband fluid to all parts
of the country caused the state to endorse the action
of tne Savannah courts in imposing heavy fines and
sentences on the violators. The people of Georgia
believe in the enforcement of the law and the upt
holding of the courts and rather than hurt this city,
it will proverb boost for it and its citizenship. X
iipality or state can afford to wink at
No muhii
‘he /aw-even though the law maybe un-
just and discriminating—so long as it remains on the
statute books, it should be enforced and decision of
the courts in fines and sentences upheld.
The Savannah News says: “South Georgia is not
thq only section in the state producing tobacco, but
Hart county, in North Georgia, is growing a large
am n^V»w y w r i* And ’, this newspaper might have
.ulded that H alton county and other counties in this
section are doing, likewise.
Playgrounds for children and a park for the pub
lic are needed improvements for Athens. The Cham
ber of Commerce will render a great service to the
'community by not only sponsoring these movements,
but seeing to it that they are carried to h successful
culmination.

THE BAD BOV

Tonight I'am awfully late,

And wtijyn I get home III get min

A lighten the window for me.
My Mft will be wondering where
Her wandering boy -is tonight;
And I’ll be in trouble for fair
The minute I coine into sight,
wisht I’d gone home when 1
should,

know I’ll be getting it good.
There'* ft light in the window for

I only hope Dad Is nwny
For Ma only scolds me, but Dad
When I’m too into cornin' from play
Ho wallops me, wallops me baft!
Of course I ain't nwful afraid.
Hut I’m kinda sorry I stayed,
I don’t like it much when I see
A light In the window for me.

department of the state. How
much better it would have been
for Mr. McMichael and for the
state if he had set aside his per*
sonal grievances anti desires for
publicity anti never brought the
charges against that department
which proved to be without foun
dation. The greed for office and
desire for notoriety oftentimes re

of such propaganda suffers the
consequences of an ill-timed re

During\what is called the
“good old days,” there were
many jokes told on those who
sometimes nipped a little too
freely and in some instances
found it difficult, to explain to
their wives the cause for the

until im unusual hour In the
mornings, but those days .have
passed, for all time to come, wo
hope, but even at that, now and
then we run across a joke of that
character’Which is no doubt old,
but here Is one which might b<
passable for this column. It says.
“A visitor from across the line
who had been imbibing a little too
freely of Quebec hospitality, hap
pened to pass one of the churches
on which were twelve large bronze
statutes, representing tho twelve
apostles. A small fire close by
somewhat confused him, and look
