The Harrow Times as an advertising medium is recognized bv the business men and it appreciates the patronage so generously given it in this w eek \s issue. This would not he given were it not for the fact that the Times goes into so many of the homes of this county and covers every nook and corner of it. It. therefore, feels grateful to its hundreds of subscribers, who by their support and patronage enables it to command the patronage ot advertisers. A paper without readers is worth little to those who wish to adver tise and a paper without advertisers is worth little to its readers. They are both essential to make a paper useful and beneficial and meet the demands of 1 lie public. O NOT THE ADVICE DESIRED. Dr. Fiank Crane’s advice to grasp a big idea, find a vast issue, give yourself to it, spend yourself in it and bring greatness to your life is not the advice the politician and office seeker desires. This advice will apply to statesman, but there are so few of these at tHe present time to heed it. The present day politicians and office hunters are anxious to grasp an idea, hut it is an idea that will enable them to appeal to the weaknesses and prejudices of men and not for the good of humanity. The sole object of 1 his class of men is to grasp an idea that will give them notoriety and land them in official position. HAS POOR OPINION OF HIMSELF. When calamity or misfortune strikes one we dislike and we rejoice in the calamity or misfortune, we detest our own littleness and self ishness and cannot help hut feel our smallness and lack of true man hood. What a poor opinion a man must have of himself, if he is cap able of a serious and manly thought, who rejoices in the illness and physical brakedown of President Wilson. If a woman can wear a ring for two or three years why could she not wear a dress for two seasons .’ This would help greatly in reduc ing the high cost of living. O If the boll weevil will stop the reckless spending of money and learn us to economize and think more seriously, it will be a blessing rather than a curse. O The great railroad strike in England has almost stopped transpor tation and is viewed with much concern all over the world. 0 The Allies have declared a blockade of (iermany because the Ger man troops refuse to leave the Baltic regions. O Both sides are claiming victory in the big steele strike now in pro gress all over the United States. It is unfortunate for our country at any time to have these upheavals, hut particularly so under present conditions. O Alexander Berkman, alleged anarchist, concluded his term in the Atlanta federal prison Wednesday and has returned to New York. He and Emma Goldman were convicted of conspiracy to abstract the army draft. Miss Goldman served her sentence at Jefferson City. Mo., o The man who rejoices in the illness of President Wilson is not made of the stuff which broadens the conception of real manhood, which causes one to he magnanimous, even to one he dislikes, when that one meets with misfortune. O The great strike began Monday which is to decide the economic, war between i rganized labor and the greater part ot the iron and steel industry of the country. The king and queen of Belgium arrived in New York today. The senate will vote today on pact amendments. —: o Asa G. Gaudier received a blackmail letter tins week and arrest of the party has been made on l S. warrant. o A bloody race riot in Arkansas has resulted in the reported killing of nine men. 0 Senator Reed was egged from the stage ot convention hall in Ardmore, Oklahoma, last night when lie attempted to -peak against the treatv and league of nations. O THE BOLL WEEVIL AND POLITICS. (The Jackson Progress-Argus) Says a fellow the other day. sez he. that the boll weevil in Butts county i- going to account for a tremendous erop of candidates next year. He based his opinion on the fact that poor crop years always bring out a full force of candidates. The boll weevil being responsible, in a measure, for crop conditions this season, this gentleman stated that next year's array of political talent would be large, varied and complete. This gentleman’s reasoning may he good. Without the boll weevil there would have been a good bateh of favorite sons. With the boll weevil this number willing to serve may be increased. The only way to tell is to wait and see. All of which is more or less interesting as tending to show t hat the day has passed when the office seeks the man. Now the candidates wok the office and use megaphones to let the voters know their hats are in the ring. < ompetenoy, ability and fitness to discharge the duties of an office don’t count for as much as they did formerly. Too many voters have come to think of an office as a means to “helping some needy fellow out.” With boll weevils and candidates both running at large next year, ' the only salvation seems to rest in an early primary. We’re for an tarlv primary, and believe the majority of voters share this opinion. THE EARROW TIMES WINDER, GEORGIA. Administrators Sale. Georgia, Harrow County.
