Thanksgiving Day will always be
one of our favorite holidays in spite
of everything said or done to make
some other day take it* place. The_
reason of this Is that it has been so
long near to the hearts of the Amer
ican people.
o
The worst break that has been
made lately by any woman supposed
to repAsent any organization was
made by Miss Outler, of Macon, in
her telegram to U. S. Senators from
the South that are battling for the
South in the infamous Dyer bill mat
ter. She certainly should know what
she is doing the next time she sends
wires on public matters.
o
Peach county is attacking the way
that the election was held. We don’t
know what effect it will have, but
we do know that the general elections
are held in a very slip-shod manner
in lots of places. It may not do
Peach county any good, but it will
make us more careful about our
elections in the future.

Gee whiz, we thought that DeVal-
era was the whole cheese in Ireland,
and now he Is trying to get away
from there to America. It aura does
not pay to be a big man in Europe
these days. We used to think we
wanted to be a King over there,
when we read all about thorn, but
we prefer to be a hewer of wood in
this safe old America.
o
Only a short while until Christ
mas, and haa your mind wandered
over all that were with you last
Chrlsmas that are not with yau now,
and during that one lone thought did
it occur to you that maybe you did
not make that last one as happy as
you would this one were they all
hero? How often do we think of
these things when it is too late to
do what we would have done.
o
We have not heard a single pro
test against Newberry leaving the
senate, and we don’t believe that we
will. However, he had a good record
back of him In other public works.
Thanksgiving day passed off this
ear without anyone getting killed
d hunting. Tliis is attributable
ever to the football game. Ev-

Our old friend Lewis, of the Spar
ta Tribune, is very much against am
ending the oenstitution for new coun
ties, it seems. If the good brother
will let his opposition reach to the
amending of the Constitution at all
any more, for any purpose whatso
ever, we will be with him. Good
bridges over the streams in all sec
tions is fast removing the need for
new counties, and there is very little
use in further meddling .with the 1
Constitution of the State.
O
No rat-killing week, thank good
ness! The governor has sat down on
special weeks, and now if he could
only ait down o ndrives we would be
happy. If the drive business is not
stopped, all the country will be beg
ged, bankrupted and dead-beaten un
til there wjll not be an individual
square meal /eft in it. Behind all
these schemes there are selfish rea
sons that we must not lose sight of.
o
Nine out of ten squabbles over
school locations; are merely “’Jical
Bug Wugs” trying to have their own
way. While the residents squabbled
near Covington over the location of a
brick school house the wooden one
burned down, and injured over thirty
children and burned three to death.
Thai ought to be a lesson to the
“neighborhood monarchs," that try
to have their own way.
O <-
Cliff Walker intimates in his Sav
annah letter that some fellows there
go to Clayt Robson for political help
and is jeulous because they c^on’t
come to him instead of to Clayt. Wal
ker has made an awful bull sticking
his hand into the Savannah matter.
If Savannah has to go to Atlanta
when she wants a city law passed, or
gotten, she had just as well take dic
tation from Clayt Robson as from
Cliff, we should think. What differ
ence does it make if such a thing is
in order. The men in Savannah who
drew Governor-elect Walker into the
thing were not his friends. The peo
ple of Savannah can attend to their
own affairs, and every other town Is
wise to do it. We believe the men
abused the use of the letter that Wal ■
ker sent them, but still he should not
butt in on local affairs util he starts
closer home; say Atlanta, for in
stance.
The German vote in America /Is
still a terribl emenace to the coun
try, and it looks like our folks would
see it. It works through seared and
subservient o ce holders at the be
hest of paid German propaganda.
The first thing tha£ we know this
same propaganda is going to cause
serious trouble. It is now creating
talk in Ku Klux circles we are told,
and Buddy that is one time we would
be a Ku Klux from away back. If
our folks wont take up this danger-
and the invisible empire does, as it is
called, that empire is going to find
plenty of help. Just so long as for
eign thought and interest dominate
in our own affaire, as the result of
paid German propaganda, there is
need for the Ku Klux, and yau may
rear about i tas much as you please.
1—o
It seems to us that Governor-elect
Walker is finding a way to wiggle out
of his promises on the Port Terminal
matter by meddling in Savannah pol
itics. He says, or the News says, that
he says there will be no Port Term
inal with Stewart and his. faction in
power. YEP, AND there will be none
with Rogers and his crowd in either,
for a long time. The people will have
to be educated on this thing far more
than they are to fall for it. It seems
to us that he will have plenty to do
attendng to what is before him in
stead of meddling in Savannah. If
the majority of the people there want
Stewart or Rogers we don’t see that
it is any of the governor-elect’s bus
iness. The people of that town are
just as high-minded and clean as in
any city in the state, and they don’t
need any help In their municipal af
fairs . The recent dose on Constltu
tional amendments by the people is
what Savannah has got to overcome
in their Port Terminal matter, rather
than gubernatorial displeasure. The
entire state meddled into Savannah’s
local affairs in 1916 without any good
resulting, and it it time they either
let Savannah alone, or take hold of
Atlanta in entirety.

Spencer says that if a law is pass
ed prohibiting kissing his weegle
board opines that the women will go
to bootlegging them. She may, to
her sweetie, but sweetia will have the
right of way, and the cither guy gets
left. '
