The time has come when we must 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 0 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. O SPECIAL! SPECIAL!!
