“All aboard for Indian Spring,
the most beautiful and comfortable
summer resort in the South!”
We all speak wisely and sagely
of the tariff, but who knows ex
actly what effect the tariff has on
the clothes he wears and the blan
kets which keep his baby warm?
We hear much from the Ameri
can press about what Japan may
do about the California situation,
but there is comparatively little in
side information from the Mikado
as to what he expects to do.
Everybody is sitting on their
nickles until they see what the Ad
ministration is going to do. If you
hear an agonized scream you may
know that somebody hag squeezed
a dollar too hard and the eagle
thereon has protested.
The Clarke County Board of
Commissioners of Roads and Rev
enues have been censured by the
auditor of their books for their
CARELESSNESS in expending money
for county supplies. Wonder if the
auditor is going all over the State
to save the people’s money?
After some months the parcel
post of the l uffed States is still
running smoothly, and the public
is being served with courtesy. We
have 110 intimation of the bank
ruptcy of the postoffice, which was
held up before the people by the
express companies as the inevitable
result of a parcel post.
Friends throughout the Sta'e,
aud especially those of the press,
of Mrs. Kdwin Taylor, whose hus
band was one of the editors of The
Covington News, will be interested
in the announcement that she will
continue his work on that paper.
The death of Kd Taylor two weeks
ago was a shock to his friends and
created a vacancy on the press of
the S’.ate ’hat will be keenly felt.
Mrs. Taylor is a charming, cul
tured worn in, thoroughly capable
of upholding the high standards
that baveal vays characterized the
papers with which her husband
was connected. That she will
succeed and be of very valuable
assistance to 1 iitor Flowers is an
already established opinion.
Why Not a Chicken Law?
Now that the tender shoots of
vegetables and flowers are begin
ning to spring up from the rich
earth, made warm by the sunshine
of these beautiful days, it seems
an appropriate and opportune time
to bring into practice the golden
rule, “Do unto others,” etc.; or,
as the head to this article would
suggest, “Do unto your chickens,
vegetables and flowers as you
would have others do.”
There is a law that allows a per
son to “take up” a horse or cow
that wanders about and destroys
gardens or crops or tramples under
foot tenderly-cared-for plants, then
why not a chicken law that would
protect one’s front flower garden or
rear vegetable garden from the
chickens that are allowed to roam
about the streets?

Business Government for Cities
( From The Columbia Ledger.)
The time is coming when every
city in the country will be governed
by business men oil business prin
ciples. ll is a rather difficult tiling
to pry the old system loose and in
some towns the feat seems almost
an impossibility. But eventually
municipal affairs will be run on
business principles.
The increase in taxes, the ine
qualities of taxation, the want of
public improvements and the high
cost of mediocre work, will all be
corrected in time. The community
spirit is gaining ground and it is
noticed that where the people work
t igether, the greatest progress ex
ists. The progressive young ele
ment of the age will demand and
is demanding a commission gov
ernment and well qualified com
missioners as well. The day of the
ward politician is passing.
It is encouraging to know that
many Georgia towns are seeking to
establish a commission form of gov
ernment. Such steps are never taken
where stagnation exists.
The commission form is the gov
ernment for the progressive city.
It is the thing for the people.

Agricultural College Support
Whatever improves agriculture
in Georgia helps most, for the
State’s chief industry is agricul
ture. No one who has given the
matter the least consideration will
deny that the State College of Ag
riculture has not been doing a won
derful work for Georgia farmers,
not only at the College, but out
with the farmers in demonstration
work and institutes, in girls’ can
ning clubs and boys’ corn clubs,
and in many other ways used for
carrying useful information to the
farm.
The College has grown from
practically nothing to an enroll
ment of 350 students in five years.
The men and means for instructing
the student body will have to keep
pace with the growth or the work
will suffer. The demonstration
work, the corn club and canning
club work, and all the other de
mands made upon the College by
the farmers should be met and the
State should see to it that necessary
funds are provided.
The farmer pays most of the
taxes. He has got comparatively
little for education in his profes
fession, while he has been contrib
uting uncomplainingly to indus
trial and professional education.
Is it not fair that now when there
is the demand and a keenly felt
need that the farmer should come
into his share?
Bishop Haygood on Farm
Tenancy.
Bishop Haygood was not only
given to preaching the gospel, but
also to seership and statesmanship.
He was a preacher-citizen-patriot,
profoundly concerned in large and
liberal ways with great policies of
church and State alike. Here is
what he has to say about farm
tenancy:
“We have perhaps the poorest
farm tenancy system that ever was
devised. Take the case of the or
dinary cropper—whether a white
or a black man —with his one-third
or one-fourth of the crop, accord
ing to the conditions of the con
tract. 11 is interest is to get all he
can out of the laud and to put as
little on it or in it as possible. It
is for a year only The landlord
is in like case; his interest is to get
out of the tenant all that he can.
If these two do not cheat each
other they are perfect men. It is
a case of skinning on both sides:
both are at it and both succeed.
Each gets the other's hide and loses
his own.”

Gate City Has New
Form of Journalism
(SPECIAL to THE ARGUS.)
Atlanta, Ga., May 15. —Atlan-
tans have been introduced to anew
form of journalism, and some of
them don’t relish the acquaint
anceship.
A couple of nights ago a small
army of clarion-voiced newsboys
invaded a quiet residence section
about 0 p. m. and began to cry at
the top of their voices, “Special
extra! Special extra about the
Phagau murder!” From one end
of the street to the other people
hurried to their front doors and
bought the paper. The Atlanta
public will always buy special ex
tras. They had learned from long
experience with the big papers es
tablished here that when a special
extra was put on the street and
sent into the residence section at
that hour of the night, it meant
big news.
Imagine their amazement and
disgust, therefore, when they found
that the paper they had been sold
was nothing more than the final
baseball edition of Mr. Ilearst’s
newspaper, the Atlanta Georgian.
It contained practically no more
11 ws about the Phagan case than
had been in the regular afternoon
editions of the papers. People who
bought it as a special extra were
simply cheated out of their money.
A resident collared one of the
newsboys and asked him what he
meant by putting up such a rotten
fake. The newsboy, whether he
told the truth or not, said that he
had been instructed to do so. No
body has succeeded in proving that
the newsboys actually were in
structed by anybody in authority
at the Georgian to do what thev
did, but the impression the affair
has made is not a pleasant one.
