We venture the opinion that the married couple

When we go to church these hot, sultry Sundays
and look about over the congregation, we are sure
insomnia is becoming a thing of the past.
If we had the postage on all the propaganda that

creased. , ,

An exchange hands out the following wisdom.
“Early to bed and early to rise;
Cut the weeds and swat the flies;
Mind your own business and tell no lies;
Don’t get gay and deceive your wives;
Pay your debts, use enterprise,
And buy from firms that advertise.”
Even an editor can't And out everything, matters
not how watchful he is. A man was horn and reared
in this county and notwithstanding his head was white
from old age, this man never saw a single star in
his life, being near sighted. Yet. we never heard of
it before Inst week, and knew the man,—Dahlonega
Nugget.
We were under the impression that a man who
sleeps in his breeches knows all tilings.
O
Courtesy.
ONE of the greatest factors that lends to success
is courtesy. If we would win the good will of
our customers we must learn how to be courteous and
considerate to them in our dealings. Courtesy is
very cheap, in fact, it costs only 11 little self-control,
but it pays large dividends. Right often we come in
contact with people who are irritable in tlieir business
associations and we don't go hack to deal with them
again. It's a sign of bigness of mind and of char
acter to lie patient and courteous at all times with
every customer. And it is the man with a big mind
and a big character that always carries his point iti
every business deal. Irritation is a sign of littleness
of character and mind. The irritable are weak, and
the weak always lose out in the rnoe of life. It's
the strong and big that win the victories in the bat
tles of life. Take hold of yourself with firmness rr.d
force your weak attributes to take a back seat.
Let’s Abolish It.
Representative George W. Riley, of Sumter county,
recently expressed the desire to see the “entire agricul
tural department, ineluding Commissioner J. J.
Brown, abolished.” He says that he is going to work
and vote for such u proposition during the present
session of the General Assembly. Here's hoping he
will be successful. The few necessary duties that
are delegated to the department of agriculture can be
delegated to other departments. The state will be
saved a lot of money that is now used in running this
department from which the people get no beueflt.
O
To Limit Taxation.
Senators Golucke and Clay have introduced a Dill
in the legislature limiting the amount which a county
may assess upon the public for county purposes to 15
mills. We believe this bill ought to pass. The real
burdens of taxation come from the counties. The
state can levy only 5 mills, while many counties levy
ns high as 27 mills. We realize that schools must
l.c supported and roads kept up. but these should be
limited to reason and to careful and provident spend
ing.
Taxes are always unpopular, and just now when we
are suffering from a depression following the war.
there is a wide-spread sentiment that public expen
diture should he curtailed and taxes lowered. If the
counties are limited to 15 mills there will be care and
more conservatism in contracting for public works,
and in getting full value for every dollar expended.

Let’s Keen the Record Straight.
While records are being kept of all lynchings in
this country, it strikes us that we should not over
look the killing of twenty-two men recently in Wil
liamson county, Illinois, >by a mob of idle men who
were trying to keep their victims from working. The
men who were killed were trying to work in order to
support themselves and families. The mob had Quit
work and decided that no one else should work eith
er. If mol) spirit was.ever manifested anywhere, it
was displayed upon this occasion These men were
lynched, not because they had committed a crime,
but because they wanted to work.
Mention was made recently of three lynchings in
Georgia during the first half of 1922. These three
lynched were lawbreakers. The twenty-two lynched
la Illinois were honest, working men. They had
committed no crime. Yet. the three Georgia lynchings
were published in the records but no mention was
mad of the Illinois lynchings.
Let's keep the records straight.
O
The Cause of Lynchings
Two negroes were recently convicted of a criminal
assault upon a white woman in Wayne county and
sentenced to be hung. Oil the day before the hanging
was to take place, Governor Hardwick respited the
two negroes, and on the day following while the
sheriff was taking the negroes to Savannah for safe
keeping. a crowd collected and took the negroes from
him and lynched them.
It is probable that this lynching was the result of
the respite given the negroes. The people had wait
ed patiently for the law to hang the criminals, but
when they realized that just punishment of the two
negroes was being delayed, they decided to see that
the sentence was promptly executed themselves.
It is our contention tliitf lynchings in most cases is
the result of the delays incident to the punishment of
the criminals of this state. Preaching to the people
about honoring and respecting the law will never
amount to anything until the courts see to it that all
criminals are promptly punished. Those tribunals
that execute the laws must do so in such a way as
to command the respect of the people. It sup to the
governor, tlie prison 'commission and the courts to
stop lynchings in tins state.
O
We Need To Stay Out of Hot
Water.
The Cobb County Times in discussing the state's
financial affairs, says: "It is ridiculous that a state
the size of Georgia should so continually and everlast
ingly he in hot water because of finances and all of
Die time of the legislature —which should be busy
with other constructive matters —has to he taken up
trying to discover some way to increase the state's
income every year. •, A few things are taken for
granted, and admitted without dispute. First, that
the state lias got to hare a greater income; second
that increased revenue means increased taxes in some
form or other; third, that whoever is taxed will kick.”
Georgia is in hot water because of her extravagant"**.
We have no patience with anyone who deliberately
get into hot water and then cries over it. VTe can
stay out of hot water, and then we will not have to
spend much time eying to get out.
The state has not got to have a greater income.
We simply need to spend less money. The people are
already hardened too heavily with taxs. Decrease
our appropriations, no matter who or what it hurts.
These institutions will survive. It is true that whoev
er is taxed will kick, but it is also true that who
ever wants an appropriation and dims not get it will
Freund that they are ruined. But it isn’t true.
Cut appropriations to the quick, and lower :axes
accordingly. , . -i • • >

A Business Woman
A successful housekeeper these days is a
business woman. She has to be. She must
figure closely to keep down expenses. She *
nust be a wise, shrewd buyer. She must
waste neither time no money. She must
know exactly what she wants and where she
can get it at the closest price. She reads the
ads in the Winder News. She notes the bar
gain prices made in the ads.
That is why our trade has grown so won
derfully during the past months.
Best of goods at the lowest prices. Prompt
service. That is what you always get at the
