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. ' _ FRIDAY._OCTQHEn 26, The committee Is composed of the following well known cttlsens: Judge J. R. White. Whitehall: Judge Andrew J. Cobb, Capt. J. W. Barnett, C. H. minlsy and A. W. Dozier.

Ex-President Roosevelt was 53 years old today. , Berton Braley’s Daily Poems 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. BELIEVE IT OR NOT By Berton Briley 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.

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!” DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU? A Little of Everything And Nat Much of Anything. By HUGH ROWE. 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< plunk And the rest is mystery, For what became of Hans Van Lunk And the skipper and crew of the Chiense junk Was never revealed to me! ' 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.

Only Independence Will Satisfy India, Declares One Chief (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 tween the various leaders and the people of India."
