Unwise Investments.
As times begin to Improve, the country will lie
flooded with agents selling various kiuds of stocks
‘purporting to yield fine dividends. These agents gen
erally seek out the small investor, the man or wom
an who has only a little money to Invest and who is
anxious to get the largest dividend possible from
their small Investment. The public had better lie
ware of these agents. Better put your money in
some safe banking institution and get only a small
dividend and have your money safe than to take
chances with any get-rich-quiok' scheme,

The Gainesville Midland
The Athens papers are continually urging that the
people of Athens give to tlie Gainesville Midland
Railroad a greater amount of ttieir freight business
and other patronage in order that said road might be
enabled to put on n better schedule and keep up its
running slock. The railway officials appreciate the
fact more than they can express that the public is
entitled to better facilities, impjgved schedules and
many other tilings that would work out for mutual
good. This, however, cannot be realized until the pat
ronage along the right-of-way of this road is of suf
ficient volume to authorize It. We appreciate the
fact the Gainesville Midland gives us a decided ad
vantage in that it allows us to have connections in a
most wonderful territory that, but for its passage,
would be uncovered and tremendously handicapped.
We would Join in with our Athens contemporaries In
urging a greater patronage for this line—Walton
News.
How Manufacturing Pays
The Moultrie Observer has a splendid editorial in
a recent issue 4ith the above caption. In reading it
the thought came home to us that this northeast sec
tion of the state is the ideal place for the manufactur
ing plants of Georgia. We have an unlimited amount
of water power, most of which is now going to waste,
and it is well known that water power Ls far cheaper
than power derived from coal or other fuels. We can
easily manufacture everything we grow in this sec
tion into manufactured products. And if we did so
what an impetus would be given to our commercial
activities.
The Observer speaks of the converting of raw ma
terials into finished products as follows:
Clay is converted into brick and tile.
Cotton is converted Into cloth.
Milk is condensed and canned.
Create Is made into butter.
Hogs are dressed and sold as cured meat.
Cattle are shipped out as beef.
This section is an ideal place for the growing and
producing of these raw materials. And we have ideal
conditions for converting these raw products into the
finished products. In this turn of affairs lies the fu
ture growth and prosperity of this section. South
Georgia cannot compete with us in manufacturing
enterprises. We have the water power that she has
not. Shi* can easily compete with us in producing raw
materials, and it is up to us to manufacture these raw
materials into finished products.
Continuing the Observer says: “And see how man
ufacturing or finishing enriches a state. Ten thou
sand bales of cotton shipped to New England cotton
mills to lie converted into cloth brings to the state
a million dollars.
Ten thousand bales of cotton converted into coarse
doth and sold in the markets of the country will
bring into the state two million dollars.
Ten thousand bales of cotton converted into fine
grades of cloth and sold Into other states will bring
Into Georgia five million dollars.”
Now. it is easily seen that if this section did the
manufacturing, the four million dollars, the difference
between the first statement and the last would remain
with us. In other words, if this section would add
manufacturing to its enterprises it would multiply
the value of its products by five.
These are thoughts that should be seriously con
sidered by the people of this section. They might
mean the solution of all our financial troubles.

A Trip to South Georgia
Wednesday morning of last week we left Y\ inder
for a business trip to South Georgia. We went by
Monroe, Social Circle, Madison, Eatonton, Milledge
ville, Sandersvifle, WrightsviUe, Dublin and on to
Yidalia. the latter place being our destination.
We found the roads fairly good all the way, and
made the trip without any serious inconvenience.
We were very much Interested in watching the
farming operations all along the route, realizing that
our prosperity depends upon the success of the far
mers, of which we are one. y
From Winder to Madison, we saw evidences of work
and a determination on the part of the farmers to
win out over the boll weevil. All the arable laud
had been planted an(\ the young crops were clean and
in a thrifty condition. After we left Madison and on
through Putnam and Baldwin counties farming op
erations were in a deplorable state. Large areas
were lying out, and the entire section presented a
condition of inactivity and despondency. The people
seem to have lost all hope of ever doing anything. If
the fields along the road are an indication of the two
counties of Putnam and Baldwin they are indeed to
be pitied. We are inclined to think that the condl
• tions in those counties are as much the result of the
despondency of the people as the boll weevil. They
have lost all “pep" and the Doll weevil will destroy
any people that, do not propose to fight.
After we left Milledgeville conditions began to im
prove, and the further south we went the better the
crops appeared. From Dublin to A idalia. we never
saw better prospects at this time of the year. Cot
ton was half knee high, with many squares, and we
saw no signs of weevils in the fields that we exam
ined. Corn was from knee to waist high, and looked
good. The people down in that section have pulled
off their coats and gone to work. And they will win,
too. A lazy man cannot combat the boll weevil. The
pest will eat him up. The farmer who goes in to win
in Barrow county will do so. The grouchy, complain
ing one will lose out. It’s up to us to bring prosperi
ty into our midst.
We came back Saturday, making the trip through
a slow, drizzling rain, with slick, slippery roads part
of the way. hut getting into Winder, about six o’clock.
We were glad to get hack home, realizing that we were
living in one of the best sections of Georgia and
among a people that were thrifty, and who had their
fighting clothes on, and were determined not to he
destroyed by any adverse conditions.

Brother Shannon, of the Commerce News, lias been
up into Arkansas drinking hot water and stripping
the meat from. chicken legs while a delegate repre
senting the religious cause. Such treatment ns this
is good for any country editor, and we are satisfied
that he lwoks and feels better. Brother Holder, of
the Jackson County Herald, also took the same treat
ment. —Dahlonega Nugget.

The Road to Health
/
and Wealth
Men who are listed among the rich of today, will tell
you that the road to wealth is not such a hard one. At
any rate, it is a pleasanter one to look back over than
the one labeled “Poverty.”
The philosophy of piling up a fortune is the simplest
process in the world. The whole thing is to get the right
habit.
Get the habit of saving on all your purchases. When
you can buy the best groceries and meats on the market
at saving prices, why not do so? You thus save money
and begin to lay the foundation for independence and
wealth. A dollar saved is a dollar made. We save
you money.
Regular health habits make a strong body.
Regular wealth habits make a rich person.
We make it a point to buy our groceries and meats at
money saving prices and we are therefore in shape to
sell at money saving prices.
If you have not been a customer of ours in the past,
give us a trial.
