But in ourselves, that we are underllngs.-’-Sbake spea re. O •■Some folks,” said Uncle Ebon, “is so busy Inh erin' bout tic debts Hat Europe owes us lat dey clean fobgits what dey owes at tie. grocery and dry goods stores.”—Ex. O George Johns, of Winder, ought to be the next president of the State Senate. He is far and away the best equipped man of the several mentioned; as a matter of fact, there is no office within the gif of the people that Senator Johns is not capable <d Ailing with distinetion and credit. The Tribune would bo delighted to see him chosen for president of the Senate. —Walton Tribune. O Here’s a true statement, made by Editor Pat Grif fin. that we want to impress upon every individual ln 'this section: “The towns and cities that want new Industries have got to do more than just buzz out it and talk it over. It *nkes something more than cheap power too. It takes a town that is all united and in n position to attract folks Hy the unan imity of their purpose. Tt takes good churches am pel loots as well as the money end of it. and don t you boosters forget it.—Walton Tribune. O “The editor of the Winder News didn’t come up 1 his week with Mr. MeCants ns lie promised.”—Dah lonega Nugget. We were ready to go. put on our Sunday best clothes, waited all the afternoon for Bill MeCants to come by for ns. and Anally went home in great sorrow because he bad given us the slip. Some day we are going to promise to take him up there and give him the slip. We want him to know how we felt. Bro. Townsend, of Dnhlonega. is hot after the Georgia Experiment Station. He is raising pepper, and his pepper plants became diseased, so lie applied to the experiment station for help. Here is what tie received : ‘‘Roots and stems of n pepper plant are killed I>> Hclerntimmi rolfsil. Note the wlii'e strands and small >;1 those felerotia of the fungus on the base of the stem.” Hro. Townsend says that only n man who lias gone through college on up through the chimney can tell anything alwmt such a reply. We agree with our good friend up in the county of Lumpkin. O The following, taken from the Madison Madisonian is wortli considering; North Carolina's per capita weal'll is much great er than Georgia’s. Georgia lias in her banks over ten times as much money as has North Carolina. Economists explain it this way; North t arolina has lie;- money at work developing her resources and giving employment to her people, while Georgia’s money lies idle, her industries closed down, her farm houses go to rack ami her farm labor seeks other sections, many of them going to North (aro lina. O It seems that a great number of our young people have no definite object or goal to attain in their journey through life. If they would only heed the directions, advices and experiences of older people who have traveled and are still traveling the same way they must go. they would escape many pit-falls, and many dark days of sorrow, and would know something of the best ways to travel, and some of the joys that will crown a well spent life.” —Alpha- retta Free Press. O My Symphony To live content with small means, to seek ele gance rather than luxury mid refinement rather than fashion, to !> worthy not respectable and wealthy, not rich, to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, net frankly, to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages with open hearts, to bear all cheer fully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never, in a word to let the spiritual uniiidden and uncon setoiiK prow or* through the commons, tills is my sym phony.—William Henry Changing. The Election of Judges The Georgia Bar Association, at Tybee recently, passed a resolution favoring a constitutional amend ment to take the election of judges from popular vote. If somebody will suggest a plan whereby these officials can be taken out of politics, and the plan can tie put through, it ought to lie done. The lawyers, themselves, and all our judges are lawyers, realize the weakness of the present plan. No judge ought to he dependent on the people, over whose courts he presides, for election to his office. * 0 A Different Opinion. judge Henry McAlpin, ordinary of Chatham coun ty, was held up and his automobile searched for li quor by revenue men on the pul lie road one day last, week. Wherefore, the Judge has warned all con cerned that the next time he is offered such an in dignity he will shoot—and shoot to kill. We be lieve that we would feel about like Judge McAlpin does, under similar circumstances. The prohibition enforcement hounds seem to have gone mad. Wal ton Tribune. W'e believe we would have congratulated the of ficers on their watchfulness and the diligence they displayed in trying to enforce the law. O The Greene County Killing Two men named Smith were recently killed in Greene county by prohibition enforcement officers. The Smiths were said to be blockade whiskey run ners who were trying to get through Greene county with a car of whiskey. Several officers whose duty it is to enforce the law and who are sworn to do so, endeavored to stop the car and in fhe Hattie that oc curred both the Smiths were killed. A great cry has gone up in some quarters against the enforce ment officers who tried on this occasion to enforce the law. If the officers have told the truth, we sym pathize with them. Blockade runners, as a rule, arc dangerous men. Every officer who attempts to stop them in their nefarious business, jeopardizes liis life. He knows that lie is dealing with danger ous characters and these officials cannot be blamed when they go prepared to defend their own lives. To jump oil Dismukes, the head of the federal en forcement forces of the state, is to encourage the lawbreakers. If public opinion is to be arrayed against officers, who, in attempting to discharge their duties and defend their lives, sometimes kill a blockade runner, then we cannot blame the sheriffs, deputy sheriffs and city marshals for not concerning themselves very much in enforcing the prohibition the prohibition law, if Georgia wants prohibition, we must stand by our enforcement officers. If we do not want prohi bition. let's follow New York and say so. Then our state officials, at least, will know wliat to do. O State Expenditures The editor of the Dawson News is one of the san est editors In the state. He publishes one of the I lost papers that come to this office. Moreover, he is a man that has made a success in a business way in life. Asa rule, we generally agree with him. In the following editorial lie Hits the bull's eye. In tlic words of Shakespeare, we say to him: “Lay • m MeDuff, and damned lie he who first cries enough.” But read bis editorial: “The figures contained in tlic annual report of Comptroller General Wriglit, showing an increase in state expenditures during the last five years of more than 50 per cent, are impressive. Indeed, the large increase in the cost of the state government in five years is an astounding fact. The total ex penditures of the annual period ending Dec. 30, 191S, were $8,000,000 and for the annual period end ed December 30, 1922, they were $12,000,000. if the figures were not official it would lie difficult to credit them. The comptroller general's statistics do not encour age hope for a reduction of taxation. Indeed, tlie\ stimulate fear that taxes are going higher. There is no visible sign that state- expenditures are going to lie curtailed in any particular. Estimates tHat have appeared forecast a total expenditure of more than $13,000,000 during the current year, an in crease of $1,000,000 during the year ended Decem ber 30, last. If this estimate is accurate it will lie necessary to discover and exploit sources of tax ation, as inis been suggested by Governor Hardwick, instead of reducing taxation at any point. The rapid and prodigious increase in stipe expen diture, while astounding, is in line with prevailing tendency. All forms of public expenditure have been ballooning during recent years—federal, state county, municipal and school. The question that ought to concern everyone is. How can the upward movement the arrested? Certainly there must be some limit to public expenditure, as there is a limit to the ability of the people to carry the bur den of taxation. The average taxpayer feels that lie already is carrying about as heavy a burden as lie can endure.” 0 Homage Paid to Criminal. THE funeral of George Baker seems to have been a great event. Thousands of people attended and money was contributed for the benefit of of those de pendent upon him. It seems to have been a form of homage paid to a bootlegger and a murderer. We wondt-r how many law-abiding citizens of that section of tlic state have died leaving their families in pov erty hut have failed to receive the widespread sym pathy of the public in the way of funeral attendance and financial'said.—Monroe Advertiser. 0 A lot of resolutions will be presented to the leg islature when it meets asking for bigger apropria tions by that body for the next two years to differ ent institutions and for various other tilings. But hone of them tell where to get the money.—Dahlon ega Nugget. THE WINDER NEWS ADMINISTRATOR’S SALE GEORGIA —Barrow county.

Studebaker’s South Bend plants build more high quality closed bodies than those of any other automobile manufacturer and consequently over head costs are reduced and the price to the customer is low.

The Light-Six Sedan, with its sturdy four-door body, its improved L-head motor, and the excellence of its chassis, combines distinction of appearance with a reliability of performance, a degree of comfort and economy of operation unknown in any other car at anywhere near its price.
