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.

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 sult in n .reaction and the author of such propaganda suffers the consequences of an ill-timed re form. 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 club niuk lodge meetings lasting 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 ing up at these statues he shout >ed: “Don’t jump, boys! The fire men will be here in a minute with the nets.” ATHENS TWELVE YEARS AGO Tueedoy.
