THURSDAY. MAY 26. 1921 ®hp Winitpr Kfuib WINDER, GA. Published Every Thursday Entered at the Postoffiee at Winder, Georgia, as Second Class Matter. J. W. McWHORTEIi- Editor j p PARHAM Business Manager Subscription Rates: In Advance One Yeur sl-5b Six Mouths If you have nothing else to do these rainy days, sli down and write the Governor of Georgia a letter on the race problem. “Ev erybody is doing It.”—CrawfordvilL* Advo cate-Democrat. O Editor Townsend, of the Dahlonega Nug get, is authority for the statement that a re ligious wave struck that, section the other week during the storm. Hear him: “Many a one who had not offered up a prayer for some time did so during the storm the other night iy an earnest and very pointed manner. The average farmer and business man in this country work from 12 to 15 hours per day. and when a man gets a week’s pay for 44 hours' work it makes the article that he produces cost a sum entirely out of propoff tion to the articles produced by the man that works from 60 to 75 hours' per week. o It is reported that an evangelist out West had the habit of painting religious lines and sentences on the fences along the public highways, rtne of his lines ran thus: “What will you do when you die?” An advertising man came along and painted finder it, “Cse Delta oil. Good for burns.” It pays to ad vert ise. 0 We heartily agree with Editor Shannon, •of the Commerce News, in what lie said last week about “These propagandists.” Thou sands of dollars worth of stationery and stamps are wasted in sending out this tuff to tile various papers of the country. Any man or bureau that thinks lie or it cun ride the papers now for a whole lot of free pub licity is simply labeling themselves “weak minded.” 4) The State Agricultural Department in At lanta and the State Agricultural College in At liens have fallen out over the fact that both are trying to maintain market bureaus at the expense of the people and there isn’t room enough for both. There’s u lot, of mon ey spent in this state trying to teach the farmers how to run their affairs and we have about reached the conclusion that the far mers pare nothing for all the propaganda that is being dished out to them. We acknowledge with much appreciation an invitation to attend the ‘‘Formal Opening National Highway," at Madison, (Ja., Tues day of this week. We regret exceedingly our inability to be present. This occasion was the formal opening of the ten miles of beautiful paved highway between Madison and Rutledge, and Its completion shows the splendid, progressive spirit of Morgan coun ty, one of the best counties In the state and one in which we are always interestd, having s|H>nt many of our boyhood years in the midst of her good people. O We regret the suspension of The Social 'Circle New Era, for it was one of the bright est papers that came to this office. We al ways read it with interest and trust that Bro, Winchester may soon be able to re sume its publication. All newspapers, like other lines of business, are hard put just now to make expenses, many of them sus pending, and uone of them making any money. 0 The Georgia Department of Agriculture has 163 oil inspectors who are paid SIOO per month each besides expenses. Six men can do this work if the oil was inspected at ter minal points and seaied. In this way over SIOO,OOO could be turned into the slate treas ury. It seems that the legislatures of the past have been more interested iu making jobs for peanut politicians than in serving the people of the state. Fort Hirer inspec tors can also be reduced. O What Do You Think? The Avery Manufacturing Company, a well known manufacturer of plows and farm implements, recently mnde n survey of all their idealers and found that those that did not advertise in their local papers had an nual sales averaging SB4S per annum, whih those that used the columns of the paper sold $5.42 of the company’s implements per year. each. It pays to advertise. O t . It Pays to Keep Books.. “Some time ago a girl claimed damages from a young man for breach of promise.’ KBs vs the Valdosta Times. “In court she made the astounding statement that the youth had kissed her 3,764 times. His coun sel challenged the statement. Rut the girl produced her diary, wherein every kiss had been recorded, with the date. She won. Whereupon the Moultrie Observer says that it pays to keep books. Expensive Government It cost our forefathers iu the years gone by about 50 cents a family to support the Feder al Government. It now costs each family in the United States from S2OO to SI,OOO to lie governed. The cost in 1014 was about SSO per family to be governed. We believe in supporting our government but there should be an end to the orgy of extravagance that has gripped this nation of ours, and is destroying the energies and ambitions of the people. There are u mil lion Government employees in this country and the tendency is to increase the number. Surely, the future does not look attractive to the man who would apply himself to his business, and by sacrifice and economy accu mulate Si metliing for old age. We don’t need any* more Federal Court Judges in Georgia. We don’t need any more state judicial circuits. We’ve got too many boards and bureaus and inspectors au:l agents who are not earning the salt they eat. Cut most of them out. Let them go back to work and earn their living. Cut most appro priations down to the minimum and let many of our institutions go hungry awhile. It will do the;n good and it will give the people a little rt st. O The Ordinary Fellow We like the ordinary man. He’s the back bone of every community. Others may play to the galleries and court the lime-light, and dazzle for awhile, but everything übout them is lieeting and temporary. It is the everyday man, tlie quiet fellow, the one that goes about his everyday busiuess with steady ef forts upon whom you can depend. This is what the Savannah News says on this sub ject : "It is the common, ordinary fellow upon whom the country depends. He’s the man who lives the ordinary humdrum sort of life, not given fo excesses and excitements, I not the conventional and never-radlcal; the mau who lives with and plays with and works for liis own children, who cares for and loves in a rational manner his own wife, who nev er gpts his name mixed in with spicy stori *s, who hammers away at liis business and scarcely ever takes a vacation, who goes home at night, every night, and ‘hits the hay’ early; who rarely asks help from others and thinks nothing of extending assistance when it is asked of him, who starts no fads, stirs up no revolts, leads no reforms, nnd gets into no trouble. Born the* ordinary way. living the common routine, getting the medium standard, never-much varying flavor out of life, working in and of and for the common mass of his fellows—and quitting in the us •nal unspectacular manner. He’s the hope of the country.” Two Sides To The Question The situation in which the Normal School aud other educational institu tions tind themselves is a severe indict ment against the state and reveals a state of affairs which should lx* remedied without delay. Isn't it really pitiful that institutions like these should be com pelled to pass around the hat? —Walton Tribune. If Brother Camp will inquire among the people of Monroe and Walton county be will find that they are now loaded down with just about as heavy taxes, state, county, mu nicipal and federal as they are able to stand up under. Many are not standing; they are falling by the way. We have never believed, and we have not yet seen any argument that has convinced us otherwise, that it is good policy for the state to help too liberally iu providing higher education for the p<*>ple. Take care of the common schools, and when n hoy or girl finishes with them, if there is anything worth while in them, they will go tjie balance of the way without so much help. There is a whole tot of fad and mush at tached to higher education just now. We are inclined to think that Edison was right in ills criticism of the colleges recently made by that genius. What we need just now in both state and national life is retrenchment along all lines of expenditures. The great mass of tax paying folk, hard pressed and weary of bur dens, nre Just as valuable to the Aate and deserve just as much consideration as the few who attend college.
