AS OTHERS SEE US The recent floggings in this state have attracted nation-wide attention and many of the newspapers have been lavish in their criticisms of the conduct of the fioggers in Macon. The fact that there have been a number of flogging cases in certain sections of the state should not stamp Georgia as a lawless an uncivilized state. Recently Straps were abolished in-the convict camps of the state and the whiping of convicts is now prohibited. That action on the part of the governor was an ad vanced step towards humane treatment for the unfor tunate ones who have violated the law and brought upon themselves incarceration in the prisons und • convict camps of the state. Georgia cait boast of as high and moral citizenship as any state in the union, and the outbreaks which have occurred at Macon and Mitledgeville should not be held as an indict ment of the citizenship of the whole state. 'he Columbia, (S. C.) State in speaking of the conditions in Georgia and Texas, in part says: Whether the men who have been flogged are or are not bad men we do not know—not; does any one else. This we do know,, as does every one else—if the flogging of men by mobs shall not be stopped in Georgia and Texas, it is only a question of time when the flogging of good men will begin. A state that' is not governed by law will, soon or late, cease to be a state. When mobs have flogged enough to satisfy their desire for that sort of indulgence, no other than themselves and those who do not especially mind being Hugged will bo left as dwellers within its terri- tory. There is some grounds for criticism, but in a great state of nearly three million population there is bound to be some few representing a lawless element - However, the officers of the law are using their best efforts to run down and bring to justice such crimi nals and their efforts are backed up by the great mass of law abiding and moral citizens of all com- * munities. Georgia is nq worse than other states but the few unfortunate occurrences recently have caused exag- crated reports to be spread over the country and pla^c-l this state in the limelight for unfavorable comment.

Oh, Cheops was a Pharaoh who built a pyramid (Or rather, stole the credit for what hla workmen did, The carpenters and masons, and other men of skill, Who built the pyramids so well that they are standing still.) A NEW MONEY CROP DEVELOPED Tobacco raising in Georgia has-proved a profitable industry, especially in South Georgia. The Coffee County Progress has the following to sa^ of tobacco in that county; The season as it now appears, will end with sales approximating one million seven hundred thousand pounds of tobacco sold on the floors of the local sales warehouses. The prices furnish ed by warehouse-statistics have averaged for the entire season within a few. fractions of 27 cents per pound—a most remarkable average for any crop of tobacco grown in any year fn any local ity in any tobacco belt in America. This aver age is remarkable in a variety of ways; and counting the most unfortunate seasonable, condi tions that have existed, according to statements by oldest residents—the heaviest rains during the crucial growing period of the crop—in a generationyet the best average grades of to bacco have been placed on the market here that, has ever been on our market. If tobacco can be grown successfully in that sec tion of the state it can be grown successfully in North Georgia. Hart county has demonstrated that to bacco can be grpwn profitably. Of course it would not be wise to eleminate cotton—both can be made ready money crops and increase the income from farm lands. It is only another crop which can be grown and it is in keeping with the system of diversi fying crops as inaugurated by the state college of agriculture. In days gone bv„ the farmer produced a cotton crop and some corn, oats and feedstuff for his cat tle and stock and that was about the extent of the farming industry. When "layihg-by time” came the farmer felt that he was through work until time to harvest his crop and when the crop was gathered, it was vacation time with him .until February or March when the new crop was commenced and the same routine .of farming was renewed. Those days have passed and now agricultural pursuits have grown to be a business. To farm profitably, the farmer must produce something every month in the year. It is an all-year-round business and the farm er who makes farming a business, is the one who succeeds. However, growing crops and diversifying is not the only income from the farm. The cow, hog and hen program must be kept up and cotton and to- bicco grown as a ready money crop.
