JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10. 1911 CONSTITUTION ENDORSES THE PROGRESS EDITORIAL Editorial on One-Horse Farmer Meets Approv al Leading Citizens Under the caption, “The One- Horse Farmer,” the Atlanta Constitution of the 3 has the following editorial comment upon an editorial in the Progress of recent date: Few things in the evolution of agriculture in Georgia are more re markable than the changing view point of the business man and the scientist to the so-called “one horse” farmer. The Butts County Progress, in a recent issue, puts the matter clearly as follows: The one-horse farmer is no longer a term of derision. Time was when the one-horse farmer belonged to the poor trash class. Not so now. The one-horse farmer is the best investment any county can have. In like manner is the one-horse merchant; that is, the small independent mer chant. There is no virtue in a big business of any kind any more than there is In a small one. The state is awakening to the fact that she needs more small farmers and some of the big plantations are being divided. The agricultural train which begins to girdle Georgia the 7th of next month will probably benefit principally the one-horse farmer. And it is that class of Georgia agriculturists that will respond most readily to the pur pose of the crusade, since they have until lately enjoyed rela tively few facilities for self-im provement. One of the main criticisms raised by Roosevelt’s country life commission against rural conditions in America was the prevalence of great plantations owned by individuals, thousands of acres held in “cold storage” and hundreds of Americans drifting into the undesirable condition of tenancy. If we can combat that evil with the development of the “one horse” farmer, the result will be a real benefit to society and to industry generally. In this connection a letter received from President E. C. Branson of the state Normal School at Athens and one of the leading educators of the South, may be of interest to the readers of this paper. It is as follows: Athens, Ga., Feb* 4, 1911. Editor Butts County Progress, Jackson, Ga. Dear Sir:— I write to express my appreciation of the editorial in your recent issue which Mr. Howell copies and comments upon in the Constitution of the 3d inst. If you live a thousand years you could not compass into a brief paragraph any profound er truth than what you say about the one-horse farmer. He is so fundamentally necessary to the further progress of things in Georgia that I hope you will keep saving it. . . . The Atlanta Journal of last Monday had an article of mine on the subject, and I am enclos ing to you a bulletin on the same subject which may interest you. Cordially yours, E. C. BRANSON, President. CONTEST FOR PRIZES TO BE A VERY CLOSE ONE Wise Candidates Will Not Relinquish Efforts But Will Work Hardest During Remaining Days of Contest How would you like to win the $350.00 Piano The Progress is giving away? Or do you think you would he satisfied with one of the diamond rings? Maybe one of the gold watches would appeal to you more directly than the piano. And if you don’t care partic ularly for the watch or don’t think you would be able to win one of them how would one of the business scholarships look to you? Don’t think because Miss So and So has only a few more votes in the list than you have that you can sit down and wait till the last day and beat her out. Remember the list does not show how she is holding in reserve; and, furthermore, you cannot look at the list and tell how hard she is working. Some of the best candidates make the least noise about it. But they are laying up a nice re serve fund in the bank vote to spring upon tfye unweary candidate on the home stretch when every one must muster all their reserve and make the last hard drive to win out. No matter how much a campaign you have made there is more to be gathered, and beyond doubt will have the most vital effect upon your final standing. Don’t give up the ship until you are counted out by the judges, Never mind all this talk about what the other fellow has in reserve. Start a lively pace and keep it up during the remainder of the remainder of the contest. Draw upon your resources; muster every possible reserve; guard against every possible probable surprise; don’t ever estimate your antagonist; and last and most important of all, don’t under estimate your opponents no matter where they stand in the list. It dosen’t show in the columns of the paper and you can’t believe all you hear, but get every vote you can. Make a finish such as your achievements of the past week have led your friends to expect of you, and you can’t lose. This line between success and failure is so slight that you scar cely know when you pass it—so fine that you are often on the line and don’t know it. And by the same token many a man who goes to the bat with fate in the box, polls out a Texas leaguer that wins the game So don’t permit your pedal extremities to become ossi fied, Just “bristle up aud grit your teeth and keep on keeping on.” It is an old axiom that the plucky man is usually the lucky man. Of course, a man’s own success is due to his ability, but the other fellow’s success is pure luck. No Micawbers are going to win in this contest; nothing is going “turn up” unless the candidate puts a crowbar beneath it.
