And the City of Jackson.
All of the Hearst papers have
come out for prohibition. Things
are drying up in this country.
If the Progressives unite with
the Republicans in the national
campaign the Democrats will have
a tough proposition on their
hands this year.
THE NEW ADMINISTRA
TION
The new mayor and council of
the City of Jackson begin their
duties with assurances of the ac
tive and united support of the
whole community. Factional dif
ferences were wiped out at the
ballot box and now every shoul
der is at the wheel ready to push
Jackson forward.
The city is fortunate in having
trained business men at the helm.
This is the time for businessmen
to lake hold of public alfairs.
The citizens want to see the com
munity move forward solidly,
substantially, steadily.
The city’s alfairs are in good
condition. Mayor Watkins and
his associates did their work well.
That Mayor Moore and the mem
bers of Council will give Jackson
a clean, progressive administra
tion is the confident hope of their
friends.
And don't forget that you owe
it to the community to co-operate
with the city officials in every
manner possible.
Let’s keep Jackson moving
forward.
The new battleships will cost
$18,000,000 each. Ought to be
good ones for the price.
The First National Bank of
Forsyth will liquidate and quit
business. Thought all banks
were prospering.
There’s going to be quite a bit
of handshaking in Georgia this
year withfive thousand candidates
"shelling” the woods.
Judge Reagan is right. Too
many primaries are an unneces
sary expense and all elections
possible should be consolidated.
Governor Harris says he will
make a speech in every county in
the state in his campaign for re
election. There’s life in the old
man yet.
Dr. Hardman has announced
for governor. Both Harris and
Hardman are prohibitionists,
which seems to make it unani
mous so far.
The city editor of the Americus
Times-Recorder died leaving an
estate of SIB,(XX). And yet there
are folks who say a newspaper
man cannot save money.- Savan

Furlow surely didn’t make his
money in the newspaper game.—

SEVEN REMEDIES FOR
USURY
As wt see it, the remedies
needed to stop the plundering of
the poor through usury are these:
1. Habits of thrift, economy
and saving must be encouraged,
and parents must teach these
habits to their children by pre
cept and example.
2. Farmers who need money
to purchase supplies must borrow
it from banks at legal rates of
interest instead of paying ten
times the legal rate of interest
in the form of “time prices.’’
3. Banks, whether state or na
tional. must be treated as public
service corporations, which they
are, and rigidly regulated by law
as other public-service corpora
tions are.
4. In every state stringent
anti-usury laws must be enacted
and enforced.
5. The crop-lien must be re
pealed, or where this cannot be
done, the rate of advance which
merchants may charge on “time
prices” as compared with cash
prices must be strictly limited to
a rate not exceeding 1 per cent
a month.
6. The National Government
must establish a modern system
of rural credits in harmony with
European models. “What Eu
roDe has done for her farmers
mers, America must do for
hers.”
7. To supplement the long
term land credit system, we must
work out anew system of per
sonal or short term credits by en
couraging and stimulating credit
unions, co-operative savings and
loan associations, Reiffesin banks
and other practicable agencies of
betterment.—The Progressive
Farmer.
