THE WINTERVILLE FAIR
The fair being held at Winterville today is a most
creditable exhibition of farm products and educa
tional displays in home economics. These communi
ty fairs are worth much to the sections in which
they are held and encourage the people to take more
interest in agricultural pursuits and domestic affairs.
The Winterville fair demonstrates what can be done
and the opportunities afforded in this section, if
our people will only avail themselves. The exhibits
include products of all kinds and the very pick of po-.
tatoes, corn, vegetables of all kinds, canning, pre
serving, sewing and home-made garments and all
kinds of clothing. The exhibitions are out of the or
dinary of the usual demonstrations at fairs and only
go to prove what might be done in the way of holding
a fair in this county with all forces joined in the ef
fort for its success.
There are other communities in this county where
fain are to be held and it is to be hoped that it will
be possible to assemble the exhibits from all of the
community fairs and make one big display to be held
in a convenient place in the city in order that the
g eopie may know just what is being done by the
oys. and girls in this county in the advancement of
agricultural and educational activities.
Those engaged in the promotion of the Winter
ville fair deserve much credit for its wonderful suc-
' , cess and the unusually good exhibits presented. '

THE ATHENS SPIRIT SHOWN
Never in the history of Athens has ' there been
shown a more harmonious and co-operative spirit
than has been developed during the campaign in
augurated by the merchants and 'business men of
the city exploiting “Trade Month." If no other good
than bringing together of these business then and the
cultivation of friendship and good feeling results
from the project, the community will prosper from it.
The campaign has been one of activities devoted to
" strictly business principles, but' it has had ita per
sonal tinge to it which has given many of our citi
zens an opportunity to become better acquainted
with each other which will result in a closer feeling
and communion than has heretofore existed. Besides
it lias opened a way for every merchant and business
* man to have a better understanding of conditions and
to know the other fellow in a different way than just
‘ in a casual sort of every day commercial acquaint
ance.
The project has proven a wonderful success and
{ only demonstrates what can be accomplished by our
people when they lay down all differences and come
together for one purpose and that purpose for the
good of all and for the best interest of the commun
ity. It is far-reaching in scope, and will be the
agency thrSUgh which the people of this entire sec
tion can be reached and a friendly and cordial re
lation established which is bound to result in great
good and cement ties which will last for years to
• come. , ’ ■ -
After this campaign is over our merchants and
business men should look forward to similar move
ments which will keep the whole community in
touch with each other and encourage us to work and
; co-operate in building a greater and better city,
county and state.

THE BANKS AND THE FARMERS
1 There are no two agencies which are of more im
portance to 'the general welfare of the country than
are the banka and the farmers. Without co-operation
and a thorough understanding between these agen
cies all interesta in commercial and industrial lines
will suffer. In speaking of the relation between the
banks and the farmers, the Sandersville Progress
has this to say: ,
Many of the .country banks of Georgia are
' financing new departures in farming interests,
and are thus recognizing the fact that the farm-
.... ers’ prosperity means prosperous times for all
1 other business undertakings. Without prosper
ity for the farmers all other enterprises must suf-
' ... fer. Mutual help is what la needed in order to
' get the best results either in farming or other
pursuits.” .
The Progress is correct in its analysis of the con
dition and of the importance of the banks co-operat
ing with the farmer and aiding them in their efforts
to succeed in agricultural pursuits.
The Brunswick News, on the same line of thought
as to the relation existing op which should exist be
tween the farmers and the bankers, says:
Today the banks of Georgia are seeking, eag
erly and earnestly, closer and more intimate ac-
,quaintance with the Georgia farmers; and, by
the same token the Georgia farmers have
i learned that the average Georgia banker is not
an austere, selfish, side-whiskered somebody of
depressing dignity and coldness of heart Quite
• the contrary, indeed. Banks are entering more
* nd more cordially and humanly into the every
day affairs of the people.”
. P® expressions given in the foregoing from these
£S, WeI1 -, k ™ Wn ? eor ? ,a newspapers indicates a
feeling of interest and a co-operative spirit between
the bankers and farmers which is bound to result in
ijxeat good and place this state in a prosperous con-
dition which will bring better times for all and for
all lines of commerce and industries.. The banks are
doing their part in aiding and advancing every inter
est, agricultural, commercial and manufacturing and
without such liberal aid from this source, the coun
try could never recover from the period of depression
from which it is now emerging. j
Oh, Hans Van Lunk was a sailor
bold,
Who sailed on the Zuyder Zee;
And this la the tale that is often
told ,
To credulous folks like me;
How Hans Van Lunk lay in his
bunk,
And never a care had he,
Till hla ahip was rammed by a
Chlneso junk
With a crew from the Wei Hal
Wei.
So Hans Van Lunk waa nearly
aunk,
But the Chinese Captain, he
Waa .quick in rescuing Hans Van
Lunk
From the deptha of the Zuyder
Zee.
“I’d aay your acmmanship was
punk,"
Quoth Hana in language free,
But the Chineie Captain merely
drunk—
Or drank, I mean, hit tea.
“It’a true I alept withn my bunk,’ 1
Said Hana Van Lunk, "but

, Van Lunk, "but g*e,
Who would expect that a Chinese
junk
Would sail on the Zuyder Zee?
I didn't think, and I wouldn’t have
thunk.
No, not in the leaat degree,
That a Chineie would have
apunk
To kail on the Zuyder Zee!”

the
The Chinese Captain merely wunk
An eye that waa full of glee,
nil eye vnii wn iuii ok .
And the yellow crew of the Chi-
nese junk .
That came from the Wei Hal
Wei,
They winked their eyea in some
surprise
The while they drank their tea,
For not a word of what they heard
Could they understand, you ace;
Bold Hana spoke Dutch, they knew
none such,'
But onlyspokct Chinee!
Howcome a Chinese junk had
slunk
Into the Zuyder Zee?
Perhaps it came there like the
trunk j
Of a drifting banyan tree;
But Hans Van Lunk it hit kor<

And the rest is mystery,
For what became of Hans Van

And the skipper and crew of the

Not long ago a person ridi
culed me for saying “pt-can”
In speaking of the delicioue nut
which has grown to be such
an Important Industry In this Mate.
I waa (Informed that I should pro
nounce the name of the nut
“pe-kon;” so since that time when
occasion arose to refer to the “pe
can" I have Invariably pronounced
It “pe-kon." However, 1 feel better
over this subject since reading a
paragraph In the column of Editor
McIntosh, of the Albany Herald,
which gives authority for the prop*
er pronunciation of the much mis
pronounced name—pecan. Here is
what Editor (McIntosh has to say
of the matter:
“Some one has asked me again
about the pronunciation of p-e-
c-a-n. a year or so ago I wrote
something which appeared on this
page about this very matter, but It
may not be amiss to say again that
“pe-can” and not “pekon“ Is the
correct pronunciation. The “can”
In the word Is pronounced exactly
as is tomato ckn, kerosene can,
etc.
There singular agreement
among the lexicographers as to
the correct pronunciation of “pe
can.” Of seven standard diction
aries and cyclopedias to which re
ference Is made, six give “pe-can"
as the only correct pronunciation,
while one (The Century) gives
both “pe-can” and “pe-kon,” bu
Indicates preference for the form
Public opinion Is sought by
many and its influence governs
and controls the acts of both
men and womsn. Some times
for good and sometimes for worse,
but with all It Is a powerful in
fluence In the moulding and build
ing and the making of Character.
Here Is a definition of “Public
Opinion” which 1 ran across In an
exchange. Jt Is worth reading:
I am the most powerful forte in
the world.
I have caused great wars and*
wrecked empires.
1 sometimes represent wisdom
greater than that of Solomon.
1 am again the dullest of the
most dull.
I have strength greater than
Sampson.
1 have killed preg'deots and
statesmen who strive to satisfy my
hunger.
Yet I rule the. world and am su
preme In worldly things.
The great and the learned bow
before mo even though I be wrong.
My strength Is so great that
none dare resist It.
To do so would mean* social and
political death.
Who then am I with all this
power that works both good and
evil?
I am PUBLIC OPINION!

Only Independence

(By Associated Press)
BOMBAY—The view that In
dian discontent can be remedied
only by Independence from Britain
was forcibly expressed by Mahom
ed All Jlnna, a Mohammedan po
litical leader, when Interviewed
here in the Kenya dealsion. “India
and Indians,' 'he said, “will not
command any respect as long as
India remains a dependency
Great Britain.
“The Kenya decision only brings
home more vividly to the pepole of
India that while In their own coun
try they are yet a subject race It
Is Impossible for them to establish
equality ot status with the white
race In the administration of other
parts of the British Common
wealth. The decision In clearly
based upon the ground of white
domination and the assumed in
feriority of Indians. Unt/1 India
becomes the mistress of her own
house, f do not believe she has the
sightest chance of ever realizing
the 'citizenship of the empire', no
matter, how often the British gov
ernment may make declarations
of < des/re to treat Indians as
citizens, and no matter what
pledges may be given.
It la not much use passing rear
olutions and making long apeochea,
except for educating public opin
ion. The attainment of self-govern
ment is the only remedy for our
grievances.
hope the Kenya lesson will
bear some fntit and will bring
about unity and cooperation be

people of India." (

poisoning your blood so that your
