SI SENATOR GEORGE FOR PRESIDENT.
There seems to be a wave of enthusiasm sweeping
over the nation in favor of the nomination of Sena-
i r [Walter F. George for the presidency on
the ' democratic' ticket this year. Since the
Jafcksen Day dinner, held Thursday evening of last
week, on which occasion Senator George was a guest,
an8 lone of the speakers, sentiment has rapidly crys
tal izied around his name as the most outstanding
dojhbcrat of the nation to lead democracy to victory.
The-talk of favorite son proposal has ceased; the
viei'il mention of his name brings expressions of en
dorsement and support from all sections of the Unit
ed-States. He is recognized as one of America’s ablest
■. pi ( ontatives in the senate, possessing statesman
ship, character and capacity to fill with distinction
i e iiighest office in the gift of the people.
fit his address before the guests of the national
democratic committeemen, he took occasion to expose
the-graft and mismanagement of the leaders of the I
republican party, many of them who are high up in
the ‘councils of the nation .and are office holders.
to these leaders, Senator George said:
•Tearless democratic leaders in the legislative branch
rf the government mercilessly exposed the graft and
r’li.vre and checked the corruption of those in high
office.” Continuing his remarks, Senator George,
Id: "The supremo need of the hour is an execu
tive with the courage of the man in whose name wo
meet, to turn the government back into tho hands
i.r i!,e people, to support tho constitution in all of its
visions, to uphold and enforce the iaWB constitu-
nnacted.”
man to meet the needs of the hour, to restore
ce in the nation and bring about settled con-
io nthor thnn Senator Walter F. George,
He has demonstrated his ability as a
_j; as an executive; as a man with the cour-
urn the government back to the people freed
frdrri graft and dishonest manipulations of the as
sets cf this nation. The time is opportune for the
democrats to disregard sectionalism and center their
efforts and unite their forces for tho nomination and
election of Senator Gcorgp to the presidency of the
United States.

HOW TO GO BROKE FARMING.
The Tennessee Experiment station has offered ten
splendid suggestions for those who desire to go
broke farming. While the suggestions are not guar
anteed to bring about a foreclosure on tho farm, they
are said to bo of unusual aid to cause bankruptcy
proceedings and the loss of whatever accumulations
that may have como to tho farmers.
The suggestions as outlined by the Tennessee Col
lege are as follows:
"1. Grow only ono crop. >
“2. Kcp no livestock.
“8. Regard chickens and gardens ns nuisances.
‘M. Take everything front the soil and return noth
ing.
'•5. Don’t stop gullies or grow cover crops—let the
ton.voU wa'h away then vou will have “bottom” land.
b’G. Don’t plan your farm operations. It’s hard
wqrk thinking—trust to luck.
•’7. Regard your woodland ns you would a coal
miflo, cut every tree, sell the timber and wear the
clan red land out cultivating it in corn.
V8. Hold fast to tho idea that the methods grand
father employed in farming are good enough for you.
*9. Be independent—.don’t join your nei(r>bors in
any form of co-operation.
“Hi. Mortgage yc’ur farm for every dollar it will
vi.Tjd to buy things you would have cash to buy if you
loltmved a good system of farming.”
Tin- foregoing suggestions, if followed, rail lie de-
noffded upon to produce failure and absolute losses,
’’"'i former who does not change from the old moth
's and adopt tho new system of farming is in ft bad
f and there is little hope for him to tidq the storm
f jdverfities. This information.was gained by the
Toeaossee college authorities after years of study
::n(J research. The rcceipe has never failed to pro
duce results—it will not fail in Georgia, if properly
ojipljed arid executed.

A NEW INDUSTRY FOR GEORGIA.
The reported sale of ninety thousand boll weevils
by*a Colquitt county farmer to a college in Florida
b:f created mucli interest in tho boll weevil belt of
tha- South. The reported price per thousand receiv-
i'd^or the boll weevils was S2.60. At this price, the
fanners of that section of the state would soon be-
e.oj? immensely wealthy, provided they could find a
ready market for the pests.
goweyer, there should be one provision incorporat
ed in every sale and that should be a prohibitive
elapse preventing the boll weevil from ever return
ing to this state. Georgia has produced several
bumper crops of boll weevils, but this year is not en
couraging. Of course there will be some boll weevils
in some sections of the -state, but since the freeze
there i« little hope for the boll weevils to recover
from it and multiply as rapidly ns heretofore.
We should not depend upon the boll weevil crop
taking the place of our other industries. Attention,
of eourse, should be given to the boll weevil menace,
but no unusual al?rm should be allowed to exist, es-
necially in this section of Georgia. Really, we do not
believe (hat the growth and development of this in
dustry will materialize to any degree of importance
for many years to come.
The firm stand tsk.n by
Governor Al Smith, of ,Vew
York, in declining clemency in
the cases of Mrs. Ruth Drown
Snyder and Henry Judd Gray,
is most commendable Indo.d,
If there ever waa a case that do-
served tho sent.nee of tho extreme
penalty of the taw imposed, it wai
he Snyder-Gray case. These p:o-
>Io not only planned the murder of
In. Snyder's husband, but they
commercialized on his death ly
securing insurance on. his life in
tho sum of nearly one hundred
thousand dollars. Tha ' murder
was committed In tha coldest and
most cruel form. Mra. Snyder
and Gray were given every oppor
tunity tee prov. thoir innocence

yond question—the governor re
fused their plea for commutation
and allowed the law to take lta
course. He act'd wisely and just
ly and the D;ople of the United
States should applaud him for do
ing his duty regardless of the
pressure brought to U.-nr from
many sources for clemency.
Sympathy is fsr-reachlug.
In fact our lawi and our
courts rapidly .becoming
Ignored by the citlsenshlp for
the r. a son that so many crim
inals arc being turned loose
on society.
Our people nro entirely too emo
tional in their view towards tho
lunlshment of criminals. Tho most
hardened and dangerous typo of
law breakers, when caught, tried
and convicted, find in tho public
mind a comidcratlon that la far-
r.aching and sympathetic. Our
people will urge the officials to
reverse thoir action and extend
clemency to criminals who do hot
desirvo consideration, such action
being due to the 'lose of control
of their better judgment created
through' an imaginary sympathy.
If wo expect to build a nation of
law-abiding people, it la absolute
ly necesssry thst we enforce our
laws and rhVpect the findings of
our courts. Pardoning and parol
ing criminals Is a orcoder for
lawlessness and bolsh-vlsm that
Is bound to come In this country
unless there is a great change in
the conduct of our courts and a
stricter enforcement of the laws.
There are cases, no doubt,
thst deserve consideration
from the officals in pow.r. In
