not despise the day of small things,
O
If there is any way by which the carrying of pistols
in this state can he stopped, the legislature this sum
mer should give its attention to the matter This is
one of the important question* that confront our law
makers

We are glad to note editor McWhorter's return to
his office after a mouth’s absence with flu. We missed
his editorial page while he was out. —Lavonia Times.
Thank you, Rush. The Lavonia Times is one of
the most appreciated of our exchanges.
O
The Winder News says they are calling it ‘Sugar
Juice” up in Lumpkin county. Wonder where Editor
McWhorter, who is a good Baptist minister, got his
information. —Crawfordville Advocate-Democrat.
We refer our good friend, Editor Trotter, to Bill
Townsend the erudite quill driver, of the Dnhlonega
Nugget. He k'Oeps us posted through Bill McOants, of
Winder, who makes an occasional pilgrimage up in
those delectable regions. These two ‘'Hills" are the
greatest ‘‘hill-billies’’ of north Georgia.
U
We agree heartily with the Crawfordville Advocate
Democrat that is is time we were getting away from
the maudlin sentiment that, is keeping red-handed
murderers from being hung in this state. When one
cold-blooded murderer is saved from the gallows, the
lives of many other citizens arc jeopardized thereby.
Swift punishment should he meted out to all law
breakers if we want to protect the lives and property
of our people
O
We noticed last week where Editor McWhorter, of
the Winder News, had just recovered from a month
attack of the tin. We know how and do sympathise
with the) Winder Editor, because we were cooped up
with it the same length of time. He is a preacher
and a good man, but this makes uo difference with the
flu. It does not stop to listen to a prayer or to see
who is good or bad, hut takefe right hold. —Dahlonega
Nugget.
Wo thank yon, Bro. Townsend, for your words of
sympathy. We tried to trade the “flu” off to Bill
McOants, one of our neighbors, hut he stated that he
wasn’t trading for anything now He wouldn't give
fifty cents in his own hand for SI.OO in the other fel
low's hand These troublesome times has seared him
entirely out of the trading ring.
O
Kush Burton over Ht Lavonia says the whole coun
try is interested in chickens. Rush nerd not think
just because Lavonia is preparing for the press asso
ciation that all the rest of the country is doing the
same thing.—Winder News. WiJH, we are raising
chickens to feed editors on, we are also raising chic k
ens to sell. Everybody is talking chickens over here.
We oxpect to bo able to announce the shipment of a
solid car of chickens and a solid car of eggs one of
these days. Even father is Interested in chickens now.
We are going to beat the weehll with chickens.—La
tonia Times. Old Georgia would l>e vastly better off
if everybody would become more interested in chick
ens.
The Busy Man’s Creed
1 believe In the stuff I am handing out, In ruy ability
to get results. I believe that hompt stuff can he pass
ed out to honest men by honest methods. I believe in
working, not weeping; in boosting, not knocking, and
In the pleasure, of my Job. I believe that a man gets
what he goes after; that one deed done today is
worth two tleedß < 'morrow, and that no man is down
and out until he has lost faith in himself. I be
lieve in today and the work 1 am doing. In tomorrow
atid the work I hope to do, and in the sure reward
which the future holds.
I believe in courtesy, in kindness, in generosity, in
gofsl cheer, in friendship and in honest competition.
I believe there is something doing, somewhere, for
every man ready to do. I believe I'm ready, RIGHT
NOW! Ell<ert Hubbard.
O
Whiskey and the Pistol.
There are two things in this state just now that
is bringing more trouble, sorrow and expense to the
people than we have any idea. These two things
are whiskey making and selling and carrying con
cealed weapons. It behooves every good citizen to
set his mind thoroughly against these evils. They
uni destroying the morals of our people, carrying
sorrow and distress to homes, blighting our children's
livt-s. and Injuring us in business. These two crimes
are falling heavy upon the taxpayers of our State.
The time has come when jurids must convict, and
the authorities must cease to parole and pardon. We
are headed for the rocks unless those who Relieve in
law and order arouse themselves and make up their
minds that these crimes shall cease.
O
Law Enforcement
We heartily agree with Judge Fortson, in his
charge to the grand jury last Monday morning, in
regard to the enforcement of the law. Too much
protection is thrown around the lawbreaker. You
can hardly hang a man in Georgia. It matters not
how foul tiie murder, ly the time lie passes through
the trial court, the supreme court, goes before the
prison commission and the governor, he stands a tine
chance of escaping capital punishment and landing in
the penitentiary. After a few years he Is paroled' or
pardoned and the murderer goes soot free.
There is really no place in our judicial department
for mercy. Individuals can and should exercise mer
cy. But in our courts when parties are arranged
against each other, justice should always prevail. To
lie merciful to one party is to lie unjust to the other.
To be merciful to criminals is to he unjust to the peo
ple. Life is cheap in Georgia today because criminals,
on account of maudlin sentiment, do not have justice
meted out to them.
We can’t let lions and tigers run at large in our
midst, nor can we let men run at large who have the
spirit of these dangerous boasts.
Our criminal laws need overhauling. Some regard
should b'q paid to the interests of the people as well
as the criminal. It's a great wrong to deal unjustly
with the individual, but it i.s equally ns wrong to
deal unjustly with the people.
O
A Late Spring
The ground hog was probably right.
This is to I*‘ a late spring.
The cold weather was late about getting down South
and it is late getting through with its work.
It is a bad year on ttic “early birds.”
It is bad on the man who had his cotton already up.
It is unfortunate for the man who has his cotton
seed in the ground with poor prospects of getting
them up.
The late spring makes truck unprofitable.
There nn| some compensations about a late spring
It means a short crop season.
Generally it is summer when summer comes, ami
the crops will quickly grow to maturity.
The rain that falls in March will not have to fall in
June when the farmer wants every hot day he can
get on his cotton, and every clear day possible to help
him destroy the boll weevil.
It was stated reoGdly l<y the experiment station
in Mississippi that many boll weevils were killed by
the cold weather in February.
801 l weevils are not the only insdets that get killed
in late cold weather. There are many worms and
bugs that are discouraged from getting an early start.
Opportunities will comd to the man who waits until
spring to stnrt his crop.—Moultrie Observer.

Safety First!
Safety first was adopted as a slogan by one of the, largest railroad
companies in the country several years ago and was promptly taken
Pby almost every large corporation in the United States. For a long
time you could soil “safety first” displayed in every direction you might
look. Especially was this true in large cities.
While the novelty of the phase has worn off to some extent, thei
slogan is just ns applicable today as it ev<tr was, and is adaptable to
every walk of life. You should safeguard your interests at all times.
Especially does this apply to your money and valuables.
We have safety deposit boxes in our burglar proof vault at a very
small annual rental. Why take chances by leaving your jewelry and'
valuable papers around the house to be destroyed by fire if it should get
burned down?
Why take chances, and sometimes endanger your life, by carrying
money around on your person, or hiding it in some| secluded spot?
Deposit it in our bank where it will he safe, and pay your hills by
check. A cancelled check is the best receipt in the world, often times
avoids disputes and precludes the possibility of having to pay a bill
twice. We take caref of your money, pay it out at your will and do
your bookkeeping, give the very Itest service and attention to the min
utest detail, whether your account bi\ large or small.
