DECEMBER 15. 1921. 112 Candler Street Telephone No. 73 THIS issue of The News is full of Christmas ads. Read them all. You will find what you want. 0 THE Toccoi Record came to us last week with twen ty-six pages. It was a fine paper showing forth the splendid opportunities that present themselves in that section to homeaeekers. O——* 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.
