Everybody despises the politi cal hypocrite. Forget politics and get down to work —it’s more profitable. Now for baseball and Jackson must have a winning team. Farmer Jim Smith made a for tune but the lawyers will spend it. Villajwith a broken leg is.not as good as Villa with a broken neck. Spring sprung the wrong way —sort of rip-snorter, as Prof. Snider would say. The livest issue in Georgia now is the state road. To sell or not to sell— that’s the question. Daily poem: Spring sprung A flare-back; Jack frost, Gardens lost. April 5 was a favorite day for county primaries in Georgia and several hundred officers were nominated on that day for a term ©f four years. The gubernatorial campaign is a dull colorless affair. For one thing, it is too early to get exci ted over a contest that will not be decided until early fall. Great thing this of cleaning up your premises an 4 making the city sanitary. The Civic League deserves credit for the success of the campaign just closed in Jack son. The friends of 0. H. B. Blood worth. Jr., editor of The Forsyth Advertiser, are congratulating him upon his election as school superintendent in the Monroe county primary Saturday. Happy is the candidate who re alizes he was defeated because he didn't receive enough votes to win-rather than charging his downfall to frame-ups, line-ups, etc. The world loves a game loser. The saddest words anv candidate Was ever forced to choose: •*I was picked this race to win- How in the h—did I lose?" NORTHERN LIMIT OF BOLL WEEVIL Avery careful investigation of the ginning reports issued by the United States Census Bureau shows that nowhere north of pa rallel 33* north latitude (a line running east and west approxi mately through Atlanta, Ga., Birmingham, Ala., and Paris, Texas) has any county suffered because of the weevil a greater decrease in cotton production than occured during adverse seasons before the weevil came. If this has been the case in the humid, timbered areas of Arkansas and north Mississippi, it certainly seems reasonable to expect about the same results from the weevil in all newly invaded sections north of parallel 33*. It must be understood that what has been said here does not apply to a strip from 75 to 100 miles wide along the Atlantic Seaboard, for climatic conditions along the South Atlantic Coastal Plain are considerably modified by the in fluence of the ocean. Winter temperatures average higher than in inland sections in the same latitude and the summer rainfall is heavier. These factors, of course, will prove favorable to the boll weevil and its ravages will very probably be more severe than will be the case inland in the same latitude.—The Progressive Farmer. HARD TIMES On account of its sound, com-1 mon sense and because it is so applicable to Buttt county, The Progress-Argu3 reproduces the following article which appeared in a recent issue of The Bulloch Times: “You will hear some people talking about hard times with some poor widow with girl chil dren, or some sick man unable to work, or some one-legged man unable to work, and with some man and his wife who have given away what they had to their chil dren, but if it is hard times with the other folks we do not see any evidence of that fact. “Bulloch county spent in the last few years around one half million dollars for automobiles, not counting the oil and repair bills. Bulloch county spends each year for liquor in the neighbor hood of $30,000, and a like amount for cigarettes, cigars, tobacco and snuff. “More than $20,000 a year is spent for coca-cola and other cold drinks in the county. The Sunday excursions take out at least $15,000 a year. This is more than SIOO,OOO a year that is thrown away in pure luxuries. In seven years with the interest added this would amount to sl.- 000,000. It is no wonder we hear so much hard times cry, where there is so much pure extrava gance in the country. Debts will continue to pile up just as long as people live extravagantly and spend all they make. 1 In the northern states among the people nine out of ten have a savings bank accounc. but in the south onlv one out of ten has a savings bank account. The north saves its money and lends it to us. and we spend our money and pay them interest. ‘‘lf you, dear reader, expect to own your own home and keep out of debt, you will have to begin while you are young to practice economy; you must begin early to learn the value of a dollar. You must have good habits and leave alone liquor and these other things that takes not only your money, but destroy your health The paper trust ought to be probed, strangled, brought to its knees. The sensational advance in the price of paper is working a real hardship on printers and publishers throughout the nation. Jim Smith in his day was a friend of education. If he could have foretold the scrap over his estate it would have been well for him to have left his millions to the advancement of education in Georgia. Mr. P. Nut and Miss V. Bean are going to cut a big figure in the vegetable world when Mr. B. Weevil gets to doing what he is going to do to cotton. Mr. P. Nut bids fair to furnish food for the millions in the future. —Val- dosta Times. We don’t believe it is too much to say that to put a boy or girl in corn, pig, or canning club work is worth a month’s schooling a year.
