THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY The Lord will destroy the house of the proud, but he will establish the border of the widow.—Prov. 15:26. Some people are proud of their humility —Beecher. EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATURE The extra session of the general assembly as call ed by Governor Walker will- convene Wednesday morning. It ia to be regretted that agencies detri- mental to the best interests of this state has been working industriously for several weeks to stir up and bring opposition to the proposed measures in corporated in the call of the governor. Some arc claiming that the call as issued ties the hands of the legislators and that nothing material can be ac- ' “ complished from the session. Others are advocat ing amendments to the call and urging the governor to act before date of convening of thevlaw makers. These and many other reasons are given by the op ponents of bonds why the extra session should not be held. After all, summing up the situation, the analysis shows that all the clamor going the rounds of the state is prompted by a desire to muddy the waters of legislation with the cry of an illegal call by the governor. These issues are purely for political purposes and for no other reason than to defeat the proposed au thorization for an election affording the people of . . of Georgia an opportunity to cast their ballots for or against the highway and educational bonds. No representative of the people should object to the amendments as proposed; the matter of issuance of bonds is left entirely in the hands of the people and if they vote in favor of the amendments, good and well and if they‘vote against the amendments, the responsibility rests with the people. It should not be left to the representatives to say whether or not the people of Georgia shall have an opportunity of expressing themselves. Democracy should control in this case and political bickering be eliminated. 's?Ti If our state is to take its place along with other progressive states, it is absolutely essential to vote ' bonds for highways, schools and educational insti tutions for higher learning. Under the present sys tem of road building, it will require years and years to accomplish that which should be accomplished within the next few years. The people are in no temper to be dealt with by a "hop-skip and jump” system of road building. They have made up their minds to have good roads and if it requires $70,000,- 000 or more in bonds to complete the system, it is q believed that they will vote for whatever is neces sary. Our educational institutions have been stint- ed and choked for years for the lack of buildings and equipments. Our boys and girls are barred from n higher education on account of the lack of facilities. The time ia here for action and our peo ple will not be satisfied with a. filibubster legisla ture and a “do-nothing” session. They are expect- ing decisive action on the part of our representatives and if the time is given over to speech making and camouflaging—thero will be an accounting In Geor- /b t gin next year—that is certain. PRESERVE YOUR LAND m" °f vital importance to the land owner to di- versify crops and treat the soil as carefully as they would treat livestock. Land will wear out apd be- , «ome non productive, unless properly cultivated and A-i" cared for. Our lands are not treated right and for thnt reason the valuation is depreciating. ' The Jackson Progress-Argus offers the following sound argument in favor of treating your land right: , “we have no doubt that there are thousands of • y People in this section who would sell land at the drop of a hat—if they could. But they can’t, not ** cv«n ruinous prices. Neither will they ever sell these lands until they have made them productive - aad return » profit on the investment.

When their cotton is gathered, in stead of having to turn the crop over to some creditor, it belongs to the man who dug it from the ground with his horny hands and watered it with the sweat of his honest brow. He can now pitch his crops as his dwn pleasure and judgment dictate, and he is raid ing his own supplies. And a still further benefit he enjoys over old credit days.

So much so thnt he wan elected to the niesideney of the nntional organ ization of commissioners some years ago.

While there has been more or less friction in tho board during the past few years, : t is believed thnt the time has come when nil dif ferences existing between the members can be wiped out nnd harmonious feeling restored.
