Communications are welcomed. Cor
respondents will please confine them
selves to a<JO words, as communications
over that length cannot be handled.
Write on one side of the paper only,
sign your name, not for publication,
but as an evidence of good faith.
Politics make such strange bed
fellows.
The people say Jackson needs
anew hotel. The people know.
The candidates have but a few
days left in which to enjoy them
selves.
Banks that complain of small
deposits might try an advertising
campaign in this paper.
Macon is long on candidates
for big offices. She still has her
weather eye on the capital.
It also happens that very few
people are as handy at card writ
ing as former governor, “Little
Joe” Brown.
The court house square in Jack
son looks like it was deserted.
How long before that state of af
fairs will be remedied?
The sixth district will probably
produce another thrilling cam
paign this summer. The sixth is
noted for its heated campaigns.
The Macon News thinks detec
tive Burns is advertising too
much in the Atlanta case he is
handling. A lot of others think
the same thing.
Don’t be the little bull that
tries to stop the train of progress.
If you do you will get run over.
Hitch in and push your town and
community along.
There may be other papers that
give as much time and effort to
the development of Georgia as
the Macon Telegraph, but we
fail to recall them.
When this paper says Jackson
needs anew hotel it states the
sentiments of ninety-nine per
cent of the people of the city. It
is not a knock. It is a boost.
The “Good ship navigation”
has about come into port in Ma
can. The citizens there have
been engaged in raising SIOO,OOO
to equip a barge line to Brun
swick.
The name of the '“bloody
tenth” has been changed to the
“frisky tenth,” says the Macon
Telegraph. That district is
threatened with more congres
sional candidates than any other.
One of the biggest discoveries
of the twentieth century is that
prosperity cannot be brought
about by legislation. It is an in
dividual matter, Don’t wait for
the tariff to reduce the cost of
living or expect any particular
piece of legislation to put money
in your pocket, but get out and
hustle and raise your own sup
plies at home.
Newton county will elect a
commissioner in the approaching
primary, that county beingamong
those to try the one commission
er plan. He will receive a salary
of $1,500 per year, with a clerk
at a salary of S4OO.
Jackson needs anew hotel.
Jackson needs better express ser
vice. Jackson needs more pay
rolls. Jackson needs an attrac
tive court house square. How do
you stand on these matters?
Which way are you moving, back
ward or forward?
Butts county is showing un
mistakable signs of progress.
The corn and canning club
work is well under way here,
the people will vote on the coun
ty unit system of education, and
the farm demonstrator is push
ing things a long. Give us a pret
ty court house square and all will
be well.
A pessimist is a man who looks
for worms in June apples. An
optimist is a man who shuts his
eyes, eats worms and all and nev
er grumbles with his stomach. A
pessimist is a seedy wart on the
neck of progress that can’t be
used as a collar button. An op
timist is a joy forever and a fav
orite with the first row in the
balcony. A pessimist clings to
the rheumatism as an excuse for
grumbling, while an optimist
loves a pretty girl for the beauty
there is in her. Next. —Greens-

Trained Newspaper Men.
Raymond Daniel, formerly
state news editor of the Atlanta
Journal has, has gone to Valdosta
as editor of The Times. Mr.
Daniel is a newspaper man of
experience and ability and under
his management The Times will
continue to be one of the State’s
most influential papers. In this
connection it is interesting to ob
serve that a better class of men,
men of ability and brains and
training, are taking hold of our
weekly papers. This is as it
should be. Experience and abil
ity is as necessary on the weekly
journals as it is on the big dai
lies. A better day is ahead for
the country papers. University
and college men and men trained
under the critical eye of city and
state news editors of the large
dailies are casting their lot with
the country publications. The
old time country editor is pass
ing. Welcome the new era.
The press of the state will wel
come very cordially Mr. Daniel
into his news station.

Arrangements have just been
made for the sale of 40 million
feet of timber on the Tongass
national forest in Alaska. This
forest is cut up by bays and in
lets, some of which give an op
portunity for taking the timber
from the mill to the decks of
ocean going steamers. The
Tongass forest is self-supporting,
its lumber product being used
largely in local industries, much
going into boxes for canned sal
mon.

California state inspectors at
San Francisco have found anew
canker disease on chestnut trees
recently imported from Japan.
According to Dr. Haven Metcalf,
the government’s expert on such
disease, this appears to be of the
same type as the chestnut blight
which is ravaging the forests of
the eastern United States, and
it is possible that the new dis
ease would be equally as destruc
tive if it became established in
this country.
