that section to homeaeekers.

Mrs. Mary Harris Armor
East Sunday night Mrs. Armor stirred a great au
dience of Winder people at the school auditorium
with one of her characteristic addresses. She con
tended that the people who stand for prohibition be
given a square deal, and for law enforcement. Mrs.
Armor is right aud the public is with her.
O
Worry
THIS is the day of worry. People are worrying ns
never before. The boll w evil and other prob
lems are touching up our nerves, and many of us' are
wearing ourselves out worrying.
Worry is a sign of weakness. Strong men do not
worry. They think and plan and do. They save
themselves for the work. They do not use up their
mental powers uselessly, hut conserve them to better
overcome the obstacles that confront them.
If one is in the habit of worrying, it takes ffort to
overcome this destructive habit. Not to worry does
not mean that one is to be careless about his obliga
tions or responsibilities. It means that, in* intends to
i -ep hims If in the best mental and physical shape
that he may the better meet these obligations and re
sponsibilities. Continual worry brings defeat. We
must bring our Judgment to bear upon our will power
and compel ourselves to brace up and go to It with
brave and fearless spirits.
Worry makes us cowardly; it causes us to commit
suicide. Because of worry we become too weak and
cowardly to fact* the issues of life. It takes more
courage to live than it. does to die. Don’t worry.
If problems confront you think them over thorough
ly, lay your plans for action, and then act. You’ll
wiu out.
Eighth District Press Association
WE thoroughly enjoyed tin- Eighth District Press
Association In Athens Saturday. Mr. E. W
Carroll, the splendid secretary of the Athens Chamber
of Commerce, did his best to make the day an enjoy
able one to the visitors. And he succeeded thorough
ly. By the way, there Ik no tlner fellow In Georgia
than this same E. YV. Carroll. And he makes a tine
chamber of commerce secretary, too. He ought to
have the best things of life, and he deserves them.
Mayor-elect Thomas made the visitors feel at home
by that splendid welcome address that he made. Ev
erybody says he is going to make Athens a great mayor.
It’s in him, and we believe he will do it, too.
The addresses were all good, especially those by
Mrs. E. W. Carroll, Mrs. John N. Holder and Prof.
M. C. Gay, of the Agricultural College. Larry Gantt
made one of his characteristic old time speeches that
made us all feel that the good old days had come
hack again.
We went over tx> hear our good friend, Shackelford,
discourse on the editors of the Eighth district, but he
got to .chasing a half page ad around over Athens and
failed to show up in time. We hope President Camp
will cage him next time and keep him in his plaee.
The dinner at the State Agricultural College was
superb. They lmd plenty for even Jack Patterson and
John Shannon. Both of these quill drivers together
with Editor Sutlive of Savannah made pretty good
after dinner speech * considering that all three were
In a foundered condition. We were glad to meet our
slate president, W. G. Sutlive, and to hear his splen
did address at the morning session.
President Soule, of the State Agricultural College,
in and great man. He has done more for the agricultural
development of Georgia than all the politicians that
fight him put together. It would be a calamity to
the state for him to leave. And judging from his
remarks, he will probably remain at the head of our
•late college of agriculture. We hope *>.
President Camp and Mrs. Bryan, the secretary, make
line officers. The entire meeting was line, and we are
go'Ug back again, if Editor Camp doesn't object.
Make The Burdens Light.
♦
THIS 1h a time for retrenchment along all lines that
bear upon the people. Our city officials, as well as
our county and state officials should take into con
sideration the depressed condition of ev< ryhody when
making expenditures. It is high time to scale all sal
aries that were fixed during the flood timeof prosper
ity two years ago. A dollar is worth twice as much
as it was then, and many times harder to get hold
of. The city and state and county taxes this year are
a gr at burden upon the public. Many of them are
going to be almost forced to the wall to raise the
money with which to pay these taxes.
The* public should In* given a “square deal,” and a
square deal now means a light ning of the burdens
to the* last notch. Many tilings can he* left eiff until
the financial sun lx gins to shim* again. We* can wait,
awhile*. It’s hard right now for a man who has an
ordinary beam- and a small business to have to pay
hunelreds e>f dollars taxe*s. The* tax burden in Geor
gia is getting too heavy.
II is time te> e*all a halt on all expenditures.
Hit, But Not Hopeless
THROUGH the suggestion of Mr. I>. S. Radford, of
this city, there recently appeared in the Atlanta
Constitution an editorial under the above caption. The
Constitution was refuting the statement inaele by a
leading brokerage firm in New York that the South
was “down anel out.”
The letter of the brokerage firm says:
“We are reliably informed that the morale of the
farmer in Georgia, Alabama, North and South Caro
lina has been absolutely destroyed under the burden
of unpaid obligations dating back more than two
years for fertilizer along with his failure to procure
from his energy, industry, and activity enough money
from his farming operations to even repay lii'm for
the actual money expended leaving him today dis
couruged, dissatisfied and in a state of mental, phy
sical, financial and moral collapse..”
Tlu* News joins with the Constitution in refuting
the wild statements of this letter. Tin* farmers of
the South are hard hit, it. is true, but they are not
in a state of collapse. They are the sons of those
men that built upon the ruins of a land devastated by
civil war anew South, the admiration of the entire
count ny. And it lie sons of these men will soon rally
from their present condition and build still greater
things in this favored section of ours.
Our lands are not so poor, our people are not down
and out, and, even now, we are taking counsel
together to combat, it he boll weevil and to reshape our
farming operations so that we can go forward to still
great nr activities in the years to come.
Lack of Confidence
EVEUYBODY has lost confidence in everybody else.
Credit is la-ing cut out because people doubt, the other
fellow's willingness or ability to jviuy. Business men
cannot borrow money because the money lenders
doubt the ability of the business man to make liis
business go under present conditions. People who have
money arc turning from the ordinary channels of
business and putting their money in bonds and other
safe securities. This puts all business men in a strait
because we are all borrowers. The business of the
world is carried on by men who borrow money. Take
away from them the ability to borrow, and you cur
tail their business and they cannot give employment to
others. These others lose their jobs and cannot buy
from the merchants and the merchants trade falls off.
The congestion of money in the great commercial
centers always causes hard times. Money should flow
out through the business channels into all lines of
trade. If we all were a little more careful of our ob
ligations, and would pay our debts a little better so
that the business men could make a better showing to
their creditors, things would brighten up wonderfully.
As long as business men are unable to buy goods on
credit. or to borrow money so long will times be hard.
And they cannot, buy goods on credit or borrow money
when they have failed to meet their past obligations.
What the world needs to-day is to begin to pay
debts so that confidence can be restored.
