FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, JUNE 17, 1921.
NUMBER 48.
THE TAX PAYERS
OF GEORGIA WILL
NOT STAND FOR IT
The 'times is in receipt of a copy of
a proposed amendment to the Consti
tution of Georgia, which is so outra
geous in its provisions that it is hard
to conceive that any reputable repre
sentative should be willing to intro
duce it in the legislature, either
branch; but they will, for all men do
not see alike and it is well that we do
not.
^This proposed amendment provides
"This proposed amendment provides
for the creation of a commission (and
heaven knows that already we have
too many of them) to be known as the
‘“Hydro Electric Power Commission,’’
with authority, by and with the ap
proval of the Governor to incur debt
in the name of the State for the pur
pose of purchasing, leasing or con
structing, operating and maintaining
Georgia State Board
Of Health—Office
Of the Secretary
Atlanta, Ga., June 1G.—In the inter
est of those who may become victims
of that dreadful disease, typhoid fever,
during 1921, will you please publish in
bold face type on the front page
your paper during a period of at least
one week the following:
“Five hundred and forty-nine people
in Georgia lost their lives from typhoid
fever during 1920. You may be one of
its victims during 1921 unless you safe
guard yourself by means of typhoid
vaccine. The State Board of Health
furnishes the vaccine free. It is, there
fore, very foolish to remain unprotect
ed. Write today to the State Board of
Health, Atlanta, Georgia, for enough
vaccine for yourself and family and
have your health officer or physician
administer it.”
We want to save at least 200 people
from a typhoid grave this year, and by
giving a little publicity such as sug
public utilities, such as water works, ... ... . . . .
Vreet railways and plants for the T!‘ U
generation, transmission, distribution
and sale of electric or other light, heat
and power, for the transmission lines,
or other means for the transmission,
distribution and sale of light, heat and
power however generated.
It is proposed to amend section 3,
article 7, of the constitution by adding
the following words, namely;
“Paragraph 2. Provided that the
General Assembly may by law create
a Commission to be known as the
‘Hydro Electric Power Commission of
Georgia, and authorize said Comlnis-
sion to purchase by condemnation or
negotiation, lease or .contract, and
maintain and operate public utilities
such as water works, street railways,
plants for the generation, transmis
sion and sale of electric or other light,
heat and .power, and transmission
lines or other means for the distribu
tion and sale of light, heat and power
however generated, and for this pur
pose the General Assembly may
iMthorize said Commission by and with
the approval of the Governor of the
State to incur debt in the name of the
state, said debt or debts so incurred
to be for such sums and, if secured,
to be secured after such manner, and
to be paid principal and interest at
such times and such places and from
such sources and upon such terms as
the General Assembly may prescribe.’’
When the loyal and patriotic sons
S f Georgia had thrown off the carpet
ag regime that afflicted and burden
ed the state after the close of the war,
led by such men as Gen, Robt. Toombs
and many others of the state’s wisest
and best men, a convention assembled
in Atlanta 1S77 and framed a Consti
tution noted for the wisdom of its pro
visions, especially those safeguarding
the people against burdensome and
unjust taxation. These men had borne
and groaned under the burdens of tax
ation put upon them by ignorant, vic
ious and corrupt officials as few peo
ple ever before had borne. They knew’
what licensed corruption would do,
what it had done from 1865 to 1875
and they determined to safeguard
their children for all times against un
scrupulous men and unnecessary debt,
by providing against it and engrafting
these provisions, in the fundamental
laws of the state.
This constitution has stood the test
of nearly the ^uilf a century and
under its wise-provisions Georgia has:
prospered as few other states have
prospered. Let us continue in the path
that their wisdom, directed by exper
ience chose for us: We know that it
is safe.—Editorial from Carroll Coun
ty Times, June 2, 1921.

FIRESTONE TIRE
< PRICES ARE AT
NEW LOW LEVEL
Local Dealer Says Fig
ures Are at Lowest
Point in History.
V-
Commenting on Secretary of Com
merce Hoover’s recent speech appeal
ing to the retailers of the country that
they reduce thir pries in accord with
rcessions made by the manufacturer,
D. B. Blalock, local agent for the
Firestone Tire and Rubber company,
pointed out that Firestone tire prices
were now at the lowest point in tire
history..
“Back in 1913,” Mr. Blalock contin-
ed, “car owners figured they were do
ing pretty well to obtain 4,000 miles,
or^even 3,000 from their tires. Now
with manufacturing processes at such
a high degree of perfection, as prevail
ing in the Firestone plants, 10,000
miles, or more, is nothing out of the
ordinary.”
Referring again to Mr. Hoover’s
speech, Mr. Blalock pointed out that
he, and, he felt sure all Firestone deal
ers, had reduced their prices at once.
As a matter of fact he was now sell-
ii% a 30x3 1/2 Firestone Non-Skid for
the sensational low price of $13.95.
According to Mr. Blalock, there are
On August Uth and 12th, 1921, the
Georgia Swine Growers’ Association
will hold a meeting, show and sale at
the agricultural college in Athens.
A splendid program has been pro
vided for Thursday, August the lltli
Several of the breed secretaries have
accepted invitations to appear on the
program. Prominent authorities from
the United States department of agri
culture wil be present. It will be worth
a trip to Athens to hear these men
speak and catch the enthusiasm and
vision of the foremost authorities on
hogs in America.
Show and Sale
On Friday, the 12th, a big feature
of the meeting will be the judging dem
onstration conducted by Mr. E. Z. Rus
sell, United States department of agri
culture, and the sale of twenty-five
bred sows representing Berkshires,
Duroc-Jerseys, Hampshires, Poland
Chinas and spotted Poland Chinas.
With the advent of the boll weevil
and the necessity for diversification,
every farmer should take advantage of
this splendid opportunity to acquire
additional knowledge about hogs.
Reading “The Clan Call” is taking
a trip right into the homes of a class
of people, the mountain people of Ken
tucky, who are as odd ds though Jliey
had been resurrected from an earlier
century. It, also is like taking a trip
into the heart of one of those feuds
characteristic of that section. The
opening chapter of this masterful se
rial will appear in next week’s issue
of The News,
gOQd grounds for the claim that Fire
stone Tires are lower than many oth
er necessities, and that their prices
have been lowered faster, for a com
parison of 50 other everyday needs
show that in the majority of cases the
per cent of price recessions is very con
siderably in favor of tires. adv
GOVERNOR BLAINE
OF WISCONSIN
Prejudiced Against the
Work of the Church of
Jesus Christ; Against
the Anti - Saloon
League.
Governor Blaine of Wisconsin has
vetoed the bill passed by the legisla-
ture of that state for the enforcement
f prohibtion. He apologized for ve
toing it by blaming the Anti-Saloon
League for having so much to do with
ts enactment, and said had it not
been for this he “would have been con
strained to approve it even though it
did not meet my judgment.” Evident
ly the governor of Wisconsin does not
like the Anti-Saloon League.
Governor Elaine, in blaming the Anti-
Saloon League for its struggle to se
cure the passage of the enforcement
law, indirectly blames the church of
Jesus Christ, for the church is the un-
derwriter bf the Anti-Saloon League.
The League is a sociological agency
drawing from the church its benevo
lence and sympathetic support.
The enemies of the church are leav
ing nothing undone to reduce the vic
tories gained, the advance made to
ward national purity, and would even
mantle themselves in the guise of gu
bernatorial authority to defeat the
measure of reform that lias the ap
proval of a state legislative body.
The history of liquor interests’ ac
tivity in the United States is a contin
uous story of rebellion. The nefarious
traffic has from the first been in open
revolt against law. President Wash
ington was forced to call out federal
troops in 1794 to suppress booze crim
inals.
The liquor interests have profited
by taking advantage of government
during every national crisis incident
to war, they made a bad record in 1812;
got a strangle hold on the nation as
the result of 1860; created a scandal
in the Spanish-American war days; and
were traitors in the world war, helping
to finance the traitorous German-
American alliance; investigation by the
senate committee revealed the brew
ers’ unlawful activities in connection
with the kaiser’s pet organization,
whose blfaiTer "Avas revoked. ' '
These same liquor interests are not
asleep, but are now working, under
cover to promte and encourage lawless
ness as the sworn enemy of the Con
stitution and the flag; and the charac
ter of Jesus Christ.
The vigorous enemy of the church,
this Apolyon in disguise, would insult
your state, Wisconsin citizens, and
again menace your homes of purity and
virtue with the presence and practice
of lecherous sin and crime, stealing
away the right of public purity, and de
mand of the people. Away with such
a man as this, overrule him, legisla
ture, and save the people from this rav
ishing fiend.
Personality.
1 By Wm. J. Gibbons.
I’erspnality and sentiment are as
essential to good business as “pep”
and “push.” Without them we are
lacking and “service” becomes merely
a means to secure an end. „
The (man who says that personality
and sentiment do not belong in busi
ness is possibly right—in his own mind
—but Ije is missing the real joys of life.
True, Jie may accumulate a fortune,
but friendships, good will, the joy of
living and doing “big things’ ’are lost
in thej shuffle, and his work falls to
a certain routine that keeps grinding
on and one like the water wheel of the
mil of-old.
It should be the aim of each and
eveery man to make friends of those
with whom he deals, in the business
world. A smile and a cherry word
will open paths that a grumble or
scowi would close forever. Put the
“personality” and “pep” that you use in
your social life into your business.
“Up and at ’em!” then. Give a
“smile”—a real one—and watch the
result;

Papers of Georgia ASTOUNDING
Give Senator Watson
„ A Square Deal
CLUB RATES
The daily papers of Georgia are giv
ing me a square deal.
A sense of fairness moves me to say
this, and to express my deep apprecia
tion.
Now that I am senator, they realize
that my intention is to give the whole
state the best service that is in me,
regardless of former differences.
This does not mean that I could
ever forget the splendid confidence
and loyalty of those who stood by me
in all the dark years of the past, but
it means that having been made the
representative of all, I will do my ut
most to represent, not a faction—
much as an embittered feud—but the
whole people, rich and poor, country
and town, black and white.
Responsibility, a great responsibil
ity!—coming upon a man past the me
ridian of life, calls him to discretion,
to thoughtfulness for both sides of
every great question.
In this tremendous machinery- of
government, growing more colossal
e v ery year, one man cannot hope to
do very much; the machine has a mo-
tor-power of its own nad the genera
tors are stationed far away: all that
any one man can do is to stay on hia
job and work as well as he knows how-.

The following article appeared in
artii
that great American weekly, Collier’s,
the other day, which illustrates one of
the most subtle pieces of advertising
that has yet occurred.—The Editor.
The story goes: A man dropped in to
see J. P. Morgan in his Wall street
office for a $10,000 loan. For various
reasons Mr. Morgan did not favor the
loan—from his own financial success.
However, he assured the caller that
he would secure the money for him.
So the great Wall street financier
put on his hat and coat and walked
down to the corner and back with the
would-be borrower.
“But,” said the caller, “you haven’t
raised the money for me." “Oh, that’s
all right,” agreed Mr. Morgan, “any
body will loan you the money now!”
That’s advertising, isn’t it? A mat
ter of the right “company”-Va princi
ple as old as the eternal hills and as
fundamental as human nature.

Love and Adventure
In An Ideal Setting
The mountain people of Kentucky
and Tennessee are known to the re
mainder of the country largely through
their propensity for forming deadly
feuds which extend through many clans
and generations. On account of this
an unfavorable picture of them lias
been formed in the minds of many
people. It will be enlightening to learn
that these mountaineers are in most
respects very much like other folks
and, in fact, have some virtues which
are all toor rare outside of their do
main. Their code, from which springs
their feuds, was formed in days when
their isolation made it necessary that
they should make and execute their
own laws. It is delightful to find these
hill people revealed as they actually
are by a gifted* writer who is one of
them and loves them. Hapesburg Liebe,
born and reared in the mountains of
Tennessee, not only opens your eyes in
his novel, “The Clan Call,” but pre
sents a very charming love and ad
venture story. Read “The Clan Call,”
it will appear in The News, commenc
ing with next w-eek’s issue.
