Uncle Sam is firing some of his employees. Good
idea; let them go to work and earn a living.
O
We hope those mothers in Atlanta who want to see
a reform in the midnight debauchery of that city will
win their fight.
O
Luke McLuke says that a boy on the farm earns his
first dollar a long time before he gets it, hut that with
the city boy it is just the reverse.
, O
The farmers of Barrow county are harvesting one
of the best grain crops in its history. We hope all
of this stubble land will be sown In peas and sor
ghum.
O
Just listen to Uncle John Shannon up at Commerce:
“The farmers are cutting wheat. The blackberries
are getting red. Sugar is getting cheaper. Black
berry dumplings with sugar and cream! Yum, yum,
yum.
T O
Tin 1 Jackson Progress-Argus says that the fad just
now is in finding new ways of increasing property to
tax and increasing taxes oil all property in sight. It
thinks them should lie a revival of interest in saving
the public every dollar possible. We think so, too.
O
In these days of new ideas and new ways it makes
an old timer smile when he reads the following lilies
from one of the prominent Judges of our courts: "'llie
rod is the only method of bringing the youthful gen
eration to its senses and teaching children to respect
their parents and elders.”
O
Since it lias been decided to regulate the bathing
suits of females on the sea coasts by law, said fe
males have risen up in their might and are deter
mined that the bathing suits of the males shall also
he regulated. The women say that it is not a bit
more shocking to expose a dimpled knee than it is
to allow a host of knock-kneed, spindle-shanked males
the privilege of exposing their unsightly limbs.
O
The American Trading Company and Phillip I>e-
Ronde, sugar Importers of New York City, arc asking
congress to make them a present of $1,000,000 each,
which represents the amount each firm lost last year
in sugar operations when the sugar market “broke.
How about reimbursing the Southern farmers for the
amounts they lost last fall when the cotton market
“broke.”

“Old Ten Per Cent,” a doggerel composed by some
one about twenty-five yours ago, has again made its
appearance. It Is as follows:
“I knew him as ‘Old Ten Per Cent,’
The more ho made, the less he spent;
The more he got, the more he lent,
He’s dead. I don’t know where he went,
But if his soul to heaven, was sent,
He’ll own the harps and charge ’em rent."
O
The college or university that hasn’t a drive for
more funds on is rather the exception. A drive to
raise funds to provide letter rural or common schools
and pay the teachers therein would seem to us to be
more in line with good Judgment aud equity.—Ogle
thorp,. Echo.
O-
W e understand that a determined effort will be
made at the press convention at Washington next
month to marry off Jack Patterson, of the Atlanta
Journal, and John Howell, of the Cuthbert Leader.
When ice melts at the North Pole and water freezes
at the Equator, then these two beauties will get mar
ried. not before.
O
The assertion is going about that out of every 100
cents in taxes we pay the government 92 cents go for
WHr past, present and future. This should suit the
navy league and kindred organizations. The principal
fruits of the navy league before the war was to ad
vance the sale of armor plate. When the war broke
out the league suddenly became a super-patriotic in
stitution. and wrapped itself in the American flag. The
flag has been used to cover many a miserable old
hulk. Truly, the flag is too often the refuge of the
scroundreL—Dawson News.
Winder High School.
The record made by the Winder High School in
Athens last week at the State Meet of all the dis
tricts of Georgia should cause our people to feel proud
of her educational institutions. The Literary Cup
was won by the Ninth District with 10 points, and ev
ery one of these points was made by the Winder
school. t
In the Girl’s Essay contest, Miss Edith House won
first place in the state over all contestants.
In the Spelling Contest Winder also won first place
over all contestants in the state.
We mention these honors won by our public schools
that our people may know how Winder stands among
the other cities of the state, educationally. We be
lieve that we have one of the best school superin
tendents in tint state, and under his leadership, back
ed by a faculty, the equal of any in Georgia, the Win
der Public Schools are making a record that should
accord it the hearty and enthusiastic support of our
people.

The Real Problem
The real problem is how to increase the income of
the state —not how to decrease the appropriations.—
Georgia Alumni Record.
This seems, indeed, to be the real problem with
i
those who are connected with our state institutions.
They are not at all interested in lightening the bur
dens of the tax-payers, but in devising some plan
whereby the taxes ran be increased and more money
extracted from the complaining, grouchy tax-payer.
I yet us suggest to the editor of the Alumni Record
that the Htate University push the campaign that it
has begun of raising funds by private gifts. This is
the best way to test the real value of every insti
tution. Let the State University come before the
people and let them contribute as their love for the
institution shall dictate. If the University has a
great place in the heart of the people of this state,
they will freely help it. In this way those who are
able and inclined to help can do so, while the hard
pre: soil ta::payors of tlie state will not be called upon
to dig deeper in their pockets and make larger con
tributions to its support.
O
Some Tax Commissions.
Some time ago the policy was established in tlie
state of appointing special tax investigators to ferret
out past due taxes of various kinds—inheritance taxes,
nd valorem taxes and special taxes. The commission
paid these tax investigators was from 15 to 33 per
cent. Two of them have recently fallen out and a
lawsuit has resulted which has brought to light how
large sums of the people’s mouey has been paid to
these tax gatherers.
It appears that a man by the name of Allen was
assigned certain territory which included Camden
county. He began negotiations for the collection of
past due ad valorem taxes on the estate of a Mrs. Car
negie in that county. Another tax gatherer by the
name of J. F. Roberts got in ahead of him and col
lected tlie $37,500 past due taxes, put one-third of it,
or $12,500 iu his pocket for collecting same and turned
the balance over to the state. Now, Allen is kicking
because Roberts “Poached” on the former’s territory,
and is suing Roberts for the money.
We are not interested in which one gets the mouey
but we are interested in why it is necessary to pay
$12,500 to get $25,000 in the state treasury. It strikes
us that there has been many lax methods in both
national and stute affairs of late years.
