‘#1 i J 11 — 'XI -Vc m VOtfxXXII 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. —Advertisement— very important part in this campaign.

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; Some of the Best Thnigs The best theology—A pure and ben- efficient life. The best philospohy—A contented mind. * t The best law—The golden rule.

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-.

WE REDUCE PRICES 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.

WE HAVE SOME VERY LOW PRICES ON HIGH GRADE FURNITURE 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.
