The citizen who boosts his own community 365 davs in the year is a gem of the purest ray serene. The Georgia Weekly Press As sociation will be entertained by the citizens of Decatur next month. The chicken crop is re ported large and luscious. Honest, now, wouldn’t you hate for Clayt Robinson, Tom Hard wick and that Rang to nominate the next governor in a convention? The voters ought to do their own choosing. Editor Fouche is as good an editor as he was a#public official. He is giving the people of Henry county the best paper they have had since we were acquainted with the situation. Do you want to have a voice in naming the governor or do you prefer for a few politicians to se lect the governor in the conven tion? Better do some studying then when you go to vote. When your home paper begs, advises and pleads with the people to trade at home and patronize community institutions, it should follow' that the home paper be given the business of the mer chants. Funny isn’t it how some old cusses will kick like a young mule when they have to spend a few dollars for the education of their children, but always have plenty to pay for excursions, flivvers, red liquor and other luxuries? • Our neighbor.

Doyle Jones is a dandy live wire, with a dandy good paper.—Henry County Weekly. u ~ It is reported in political circles that Murphey Candler will run against Tom Hard wick two years from now Jackson Progress-Argus. And it might as well be re ported that he will walk off with the job and also at the same time become one of the leading members of the Uni ted States J senate.—DeKalb New Era. J help him along. Rosal Baking Powder Absolutely Pure Made from Cream of Tartar Derived from Grapes The Way, Marion Jackson edi tor, is one of Governor Harris’ strongest supporters, and he calls upon the prohibitionists to stand bv the old war horse of Bibb. The prohibitionist have Governor Harris to thank for the present dry law-. A good many weekly papers are supporting Governor Harris and several are supporting Dr. Hardman. Only a few seem to be supporting Dorsey and Pottle appears to l e minus newspaper support outside of his home paper and the Atlanta Journal. They all take it, its cures are marvelous, it puts life into run down systems, rejuvenates the aged, helps the afflicted, makes the weak strong, puts courage in the faint-hearted, tones up the body, acts as a mental tonic—pub licty. But they all like it free. Biennial sessions of the legis lature will save Georgia thous ands of dollars every year, mon ey that ought to be used for edu cation and other worthy purposes. Give us biennial sessions of the legislature and Georgia will go forward with the well known leaps and bounds. "Peach” is the name of anew county that it is proposed to cre ate out of parts of Houston and Macon counties, with Fort Valley as the capital. New counties develop the country, cause new schools and churches to be erect ed, make for greater prosperity, and where the cause is merito rious, as in the present instance, we’re for more new counties. Emmet Houser, of Fort Valley, lawyer, statesman and editor, was a recent visitor to Jackson. Colonel Houser is a consistent booster for the proposed new countv of Peach, with Fort Valley as the county site. We’re for Peach county and for sending Col. Houser to the legislature as and reward for his faithful service in the new county movement.

RIDING A FREE HORSE A considerable part of the pub lic makes such free use of such newspapers as it finds available that in time they come to be look ed upon not as business enter prises but as public conveniences which have no rights of their own, but are maintained merely to make it easy to reach the pub lic ear. Every newspaper gives away hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of space according to the paper’s size and circulation. A newspaper’s space costs the pub lisher money—cold, hard cash even as the lawn or silk in the dry goods store, or the bacon and flour in the grocery store, cost the merchant cash. Nobody thinks of asking the merchant for his merchandise, although a great many folks unhesitatingly Call on newspapers for as much valuable space as may be required for the promotion of whatever worthy enterprise such folks hap pen to be interested in. If there are any cheerful givers in any profession than the newspapers we have not discovered them. They give ungrudgingly, and the more they give the more they seem to be wililng to give.—Al bany Herald. not give your g Wf opportunity to | Ifi make their home | m study ? . and i $ them the same 1 motion and success | T as the lad having the | (NEW INTERNATIONAL ( g Dictionary in his home.
