Andre Tardieu. high commissioner for Franco-American war mai lers. recently delivered a speech in Paris, the sentiment of which would he a great blessing if adopted by our congress and senate, by all patriots and by every American. This is w hat lie said : “We achieved our victory by the constant effort of the whole na tion reaching for an object, and we shall earn our peace by the same effort. The invasion of our territory brought about the unity of all without discussion, and the unanimous feeling of the nation is nec essary to win peace A peaceful solution of the stupedious problems confronting our country cannot be brought about by dissensions and by the politician .Inciting ihe people to oppose the government. HAS SEEN ITS BEST DAYS. When a business man or firm reaches the conclusion, that it has all the business it needs and that their is no necessity for much adver tising, that particular man or firm has seen its best days and its busi ness will begin to grow less and less every year. Any business worth while has to increase its advertising instead of cutting it off or it will become a back member, an unknown quantity. You have got to keep lie fore the public, and the only way you can do this is by advertising. If you fail to do this the public soon forgets you and your business is gone. The most successful men in all lines of business recognize the value and importance of advertising and are iiber. I sers <>i I linteis Ink. 0— — : The majority of Americans are giving little thought to economy at the present time, but are spending money as fast as they get it. I liev do not seem to realize that things will change and that these prosper ous times cannot last always. It is funny that so many of us are not thank ul lor living in the present era of good times, but are kicking and gTOwling all the time. Every man can get employment who wi- ies to work and get from the to six times as much for his labor. Everything produced is bringing good prices and still we are kicking worse trail we did years ago when there was no employment for lain and ic farmer could get nothing for what he mad* The opportunities for making a living never greater than now to llie man ready and willing to work, and there is less ground for kicking and complainin'g than ever In-n ei? *■' Gtorv <>t tl'.e world.

Every man in the South should stand hy the American Cotton As sociation and lend this movement his support and influence It is one of the greatest moves ever inaugurated for the benefit of cotton growers, and if its plans can be successfully carried out it means emancipation for the cotton planter, because he will always re ceive a price for his staple that will give him a legitimate profii over the cost of production. This organization is the outgrowth of a series of meetings and con ferences on the part of prominent fanners and business men of the South and is proceeding along right lines All classes should he vitally interested in the success of this move, incut as the prosperity of the South depends on a fair profit and rea sonable price for our cotton. All of our interests are centered in the prosperity of the cotton producer, and to that end we should lend our aid hy contributing to the American Cotton Association, enabling it to accomplish the desir ed results. Every banker, every business man and every farmer -sould become n member of the Association. The times are so prosperous that even unbrella menders travel in motor ears. O The high cost of li\ing could be partially remedied if people would eat less and work more. O A leading Georgia politician said recently he had not studied the League of Nations and knew nothing about it. but that he was against it. Still such men as he work on the ignorance and prejudices of men and try to be leaders, and the mystery is that sueh men can always have a following. 0 .lames Could, a young man of New Orleans, embe/.zed *45.000 and spent it all on wine and women. There are plenty of women on whom one could easily spend that amount, but the old topers would like to know where wine can be so readily found in a prinibition country. The prudent man and the man of good judgement will take advan tage of this prosperous period and lay up something tor a rainy day. These days will surely come and it is well to be prepared to meet them. In a few months the candidates will be shaking hands with the dear people. The woods will be full of them another year. The schools and colleges this fall are all crowded and many of them are forced to refuse more student'- for the lack ot room. Ids surely indicates a prosperous era. because it costs more to send a i>ov nr girl to college now t> an ever before. 0 • 1 )t> not rush your cotton on the market i' you wi' a letter price. The short production this year justifies big 1 cotton, nit you cannot expect this if you sell fast as you pic!; it. The short cotton crop and the rapidliy win w hich rL < pening will give every farmer an opportunity to sow wheat and oats. This opportunity should not be neglected as the b I weevil may strike our section next year. The wise man will prepare lor this evil and make more food stuffs and less cotton. „ . .4. THE BARROW TIMES. WINDER. GEORGIA THE MAMMOTH POWDER MILL OF NASHVILLE, TENN. Perhaps the largest powder mill in the world was constructed sev eral miles out of Nashville, Term., during the recent world war. It arose almost like a human mira cle. One day broad acres of land in the large beautiful bend of the Cumberland Rivre, called Mod ley's Bend: yes. hundreds of acres of quiet woodland, tuneful with the songs of birds. The next day a purchaser arrives upon the scene. Soon, trees are felled; construc tion forces arrive; hills are level ed; hollows tilled and almost in a twinkling, hundreds of workmen, with as many teams and scrapes, have cleaned the woods and pre pared the way for a city ten or twelve times larger than Winder. Like magic the city springs up and forty thousand people begin work in the various branches and departments of the huge powder plant. It dazzles the imagination to think of it. In a moment a fine suspension bridge is stretched across the river, and at the same time a railroad track is construct ed from Nashville to the powder mill city, some seventeen miles distant. Hundreds of ladies and young men from Nashville, and tons of material for the mill and tons of powder from the plant, pass to and fro over the well built railroad. Millions of money flowed into the coffers and pock ets of Nashville and high prices soared higher and higher, until the cables on the dollars seemed to wing their flight to the heights of the eagles of the mountains and mingle with them. It was a great aehievment of American constructive genius and skill. But it is only a colossal shell now. The houses are empty and the gigantic smokestacks are smokeless. The great mills are as silent as the woodland of two years ago and the magic city of electric lights is dark and quiet. Its life, its activity ceased as soon a-> it began. The world war was over. Hindenburg and Ludendorf and their crazy Kaiser had heard of the Mammoth powder mill of the Southland and knew that, with such vigorous activities there and elsewhere, backing our sol dier boys at home camps and over seas, no victory could possibly come to the German arms. The story of the giant Hermitage pow der mill of Nashville is one of the dazzling spectasular dramas of that* phase of America’s part in the \vorld war. But it is an ocular lesson and constant reminder of the neces sary fightful waste of labor, mus cle. money and skill caused by war.
