It is said that a g'eat many farm

When asked what, in his opin
ion, was a remedy for the high cost
of living, Richard Croker, now out
of politics, promptly answered:
“Put the Republican party out of
business The high cost of living
is due to its policies and to the high
tariff."
Down in Early county a sheriff
of several years' service was a can
didate for re-election. Someone
persuaded his misguided son to op
pose him. At the primary recently
held there both were defeated—a
just and fitting rebuke by the peo
ple to the ones responsible for such
a spectacle.—SocialfCircle Record.
The first issue of The Henry
Herald, an eight-page weekly pa
per published at McDonough, made
its appearance last week. It is ex
ceedingly neat in typographical
appearance and filled with interest
ing reading matter and well-dis
played advertisements. It is* owned
and edited by Mr. R. L. Johnson,
formerly editor of the Henry County
Weekly of that place. The Argus
wishes for Mr. Johnson abundant
success in his new venture.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission in Washington has issued a
bulletinstatingthatduring the three
monthsending December 31, 1909,
there were 1,099 persons killed and
22,491 injured on railroads. Add
to that the trolley car. automobile,
mine and other fatal accidents to
human life, and you will find the
number of deaths appalling. The
people are burning through life
and increasing their speed each
year with a proportionate risk and
loss of life.
In an editorial in the Campbell
News of recent date appears the
following pertinent paragraph:
“The News does not believe the
tommyrot that the new registration
law has disfranchised 50.000 white
voters or any other number. The
bald-faced, uncontrovertible fact is
that even.’ white voter has had six
months in which to attach his
name to the registration book in
due conformity to law. It is further
true that the entire press of the State
has urged every voter to register.
Hence if 50,000 voters have failed
to qualify as legal voters they have
deliberately done so of their own
free will and accord, and have no
body to blame but themselves.”
And now comes the Quitman Ad
vertiser and takes the correct posi
tion: “If a man thinks so little of
the duties of citizenship that he
failed to qualifv himself by regis
tering for himself in person, then
the loss of that vote amounts to
very little to either the party or
State.”
The railroads have granted re
duced rates to those who will attend
the meeting of the Georgia Educa
tional Association to be held in At
lanta April 28, 29 and 30, and the
Atlanta hotels are offering special
inducements. The officers of the
association are expecting an at
tendance of at least 1,000 ai this
convention. Out of the 8,000 white
teachers in Georgia it would seem
that the association should receive
the cordial support of at least two
or three thousand permanent sus
taining members. Educational as
sociations in mauv States with
fewer teachers than Georgia has
show an enrolled membership of
from five to ten times as large as
our own. In the majority of the
States teachers are not only per
mitted to attend the annual meet
ings, but many boards of education
are granting this privilege without
loss of pay, and in many places
they are paying the expenses of
those teachers w’ho attend in order
to encourage the professional spirit
and afford opportunity for gaining
inspiration and enthusiasm. We

understand that several of the pro
gressive teachers of this county will
attend the Atlanta meeting.

Startling Inscription.
A traveling salesman died sud
denly and some of his friends tele
graphed the undertaker an order to
make a large wreath. Investigation
showed that the telegram ordered a
wreath bearing the words, “Rest in
Peace, ” on both sides of the ribbon,
and on one side, if there should be
room, "We Shall Meet in Heaven.”
The undertaker was out of town,
and his new assistant handled the
job. It was a startling floral piece
that turned up at the funeral. The
ribbon was extra wide and bore the
inscription, “Rest in Peace on Both
Sides, and if There is Room We
Shall Meet in Heaven.”—Ex.
