O There is a certain editor in the Ninth district who is selling eggs at $3.00 per dozen and teaching a Sunday school class at the same time. We’ll report him at Commerce on June Btli. O The coining legislature could not do a Hotter th’ng than to limit the taxing powerrf of the counties. If -this body will give flic public a chance, we, .the people, will do it. O The Cetral of Georgia Railway Cos., is placard ing the fact that it paid more for taxes last year than it did in dividends on capital stock. Shouldn’t doubt but that a whole lot of individuals might be found who can tell the same talc. —Oglethorpe Echo. No use kicking “Shack." our institutions have lie coma our gods and in all well regulated idolatrous nations gods demand to live though the jieople per ish. O Just Listen to This. “Here’s a news item that will jar you. Sheriff Collier, Charlie Nelms, county policeman; I.it Small wood, bailiff; Curt Collier, deputy sheriff; walked into the News office last Fr'dav afternoon and placed a jug containing a gallon of new made liquor right slap dab in the middle of the floor in flic News of fice and invited us to drink to our heart’s content. We got down on our all fours, pulled the stopper out, and, whether tin* readers believe it or not, t.hgt ’s as far as we went. —Commerce News. This tale soenm so far-fetched and unbelievable, that we move that “Shack” of Lexington, Louie Morris, of Hartwell, and Itusli Burton, of Lnvbnia, be appointed a committee of three to investigate this strange act of John Shannon and report at Com merce on Juno Bth “Human natur’ is human int tur’ the world over." O The State University. • i THE State University will ask for $1,157,000 from the legislature that meets in June. We don't see how the Univcrs't.y can get along with this small sum. Why not ask for a decent sum while you are at it. Everylaxly in Georgia is rich, money 'bulging out of all our pockets, and a few millions will hardly bo missed Uv the prosperous people of this state. Espoomlly should tin* University ask for a great sum in view of the state of mind of those connected with it its shown by a news item which we fake front the Atlanta Constitution. “Never before in the entire b*story of the Univer sity of Georgia Ims them Immmi sueli a feeling of alarm with reference to the future 'usefulness of the institution ns is today existing among the minds of the faculty members students and trustees of the colldge. The cause for tic's alarm is that the state university has reached the point that unless greater funds arc provided, its progress not only will be stopped, but it will lie forced to go backward while other colleges and universities in the state wh'ch heretofore have been considered lesser institutions than the state university will press their way to the front, leaving the university far in the Hack ground.” Generally, the boys who attend colleges are able to pay their way or can gi't help on their own ac count. Would it be against the law. or violate any principle! of morality, religion or intellectuality for the state university to press forward just as these other institutions are doing so? The friends of these other Institutions are putting up the money to make them go and it. wouldn't hurt the friends of the sate university to do Uewisc. We are not against the state university, but we think it ought to put the tui*ion fees at such an amount as will enable it to press forward without putting unlioHruble burdens upon the people in tue shape of taxation. If our schools, our colleges, our state institutions, yes, and our churches too, are going to Hear down heavier than over before upon us in this time when every business man and every farmer is put to it to make buckle and tongue meet, we had just as well give up the contest and die. These institutions, instead of being a bless'ng to us, will become burdens that will take all tin* things •ut of life that make it pleasant, for no homVt man •as fail to meet his obligations and enjoy life. If the coming legislature hasn't found out how the people feel about appropriations and taxation it hud keter do so before it meets in June. Our Politicians WE, the gTeat mass of people, are a peculiar set. We prefer promises in our politicians to brains. We have made it so that it doesn’t pay to have brains in politics. Brains doesn’t elect a man. It’s prom ises that count, and our candidates for office are finding it out. Sometimes a public man may have brains, lint he dare not use them much. The man that gets our vote must be a good hand shaker, a good promisdr, a member of our lodge, or a member of our denomination. “We, the people" know what we want, and we know what we don’t want. One thing you can count on, we don’t want our public men depaitment.'— < 'hufiefi O Would Make A Political Mistake. EX-SENATOR Hoke Smith has announced that he expects to return to Atlanta next fall and make his permanent home In that city. He has been making his home in Washington City since his de feat for the United States senate by the late Thomas E. Watson. Since the above announcement has been made, tho Columbus ledger lias published an editorial un der the capt’on, “What’s Hoke After?” This edi torial has been going the rounds of the press and tin* impression has been created that Mr. Smith in tends to re-entar politics in this state and to be a candidate for the United Stlates senate against Wiliam J. Harris next year. Hoke Smith has made several mistakes in his po litical career, and he will make another if he at tempts to defeat “Bill” Harris for the United States senate. Neither Hoke Smith nor any other man can do that next year. The Albany Herald, a former strong supporter of Mr. Snrth in all his campaigns, comes out strongly, and says that the ex-senator would make a mistake in opposing “Bill” Harris. William J. Harris lias made Georgia an excellent lofflc'ul. He has been untiring in his efforts to serve his constituents, and it is the opinion of the News that he far out ranks Hoke Smith in the real service that he has rendered the people of Georgia. As the Albany Herald says, “He has managed to do more favors for Georgians than perhaps any other senator .the state lias ever had.” The Columbus Ledger, in discuss'ng the- same question says, “Senator Smith, likn Governor Hardwick, wants to “come back” in Georgia poli tics. This is quite pla'n despite the fact that both have been repudiated time and again Hy the people,” , Georgia has two fine senators in W. J. Harris and Walter F. George, and we feel sure that our people are perfectly satisfied with them. O The Greensboro Herald-Journal says that Greene county is now receiving an income of fully one mil ium dollars annually from her timber. Tell ’em Bro. Williams, to save some of the timber for coming years. O We heartily agree with the Greensboro Herald- Journal when it says: “The next legislature would do well to pass a constitutional ammulment regu lating the pension law. It is absolutely wrong ; n principal to pay a pension to a man or woman who does’t need it. And ,too the payment of a pen sion should be confined to the real veteran of tne civil war who was in active service) and to ids wid ow. The people went absolutely crazy when they passed the constitutional amendment adding thou sands of people to the pension roll.” O Winder’s Opportunity. THE opportunities for growth and advancement that confront Winder today arc superior to those of any other city in the state of similar size. We can easily reach ten thousand population in ten yctirs if we will go after it. The location of this city for textile industries is unsurpassed. We have two great friends of unusual power and in fluence. Both of these great friends are ready to back us in any undertaking of an industrial line that we may desire. These two great friends are the Georgia Railway & Power Cos., and tile Sea board railroad. The Georgia Railway & Power Cos. can bring its electric power to Winder in unlimited quantities. Both of these two great companies are ready to get behind us if Winder will only get to gether and show a decided interest in bringing tex tile manufacturing plants into our midst. A meeting lias been called for next Monday af ternoon at 2:30 o'clock for the purpose of discussing some phases of this question. Come out. We want to discuss the question of reaching these manufac turing plants that arc coining south. One citizen of the town says that he can lih-ing a million dollar manufacturing plant to this city if the people of Winder will get solidly behind him. Tho clock is striking tho hour for Winder. Will we hear? O A Bit One-Sided. THE idea of Governor Ilardwiqk to pay the fam ilies of convicts for their work is a Hit one sided to say the least of it. Why not pay the fam ily of a murdered man a pension too. It would be just as fair and more square, for the average mur dered man has not time to arrange liis business matters. The country is certainly putting a pre mium on crime as sure ns the world stands. It is a shame that, our people don't stop this hysteria. If a man is deterred at all from crime it is the fact that he knows that his family will have to suffer. If you pension a murderer’s family, half that kill will lie glad to lie rid of supporting their families. If you then remove the chance to make him work by abolishing tho lush and not allow him to lie punish ed for infraction of rules, and give him a fare at the talile that is better than No percent of the working class get, you make it a business proposition to go on. kill somebody and get in the penienttiary. He will faro better and his folks will get more.—Bain bridge Post. 0 You cannot dream yourself into character; you must hammer and forge yotmself one.—Fronde.
