Twenty cent cotton is no longer a
dream.
If cotton is high, how about the
cost of living?
Everything is high but it doesn’t
cost anything to smile.
Give us a feed mill and we will be
ready for the boll weevil.
There is nothing wrong with your
getting ready to shop early. Shop
early. It pays.
May be they will finish the count
ing in Minnesota in time to announce
the result by Christmas.
The knocker occupies the bottom
rung in the ladder of civilization. He
is without honor anywhere.
Prosperity is fine for the man who
has cotton, but so many people
haven’t got the fleecy staple.
If in doubt, smile, boost and pat-
Tonize home institutions and you’ll
hit the bull’s eye every crack.
All the constitutional amendments
were ratified in the recent election,
except the one regarding shipping.
To wind up a year of primaries
and elections, the election of Jus
tices of the Peace is next in order.
With the North Georgia Confer
ence meeting in Griffin this week,
Editor Duke should be well looked
after in the way of prayers.
How about some paved streets in
Jackson? This is one improvement
that should engage the serious atten
tion of the business men of the city.
Sure, the Jackson Rifles must have
a Christmas box—two of them if nec
essary. The folks back home will see
to it that old Santa Claus calls on the
soldier boys.
Forsyth is getting ready for the
1917 fair. That’s just what Jackson
is doing, too. The fair will be bigger
and better next year and the equal of
any in the country.
Cotton hasn’t doubled in price dur
ing the past year, while print paper
has. Paper is nearly three times high
er than it was a year ago. Cotton is
not the only high flyer.
To show their appreciation for his
splendid work, the citizens of Tifton
presented Editor Herring with a
suit of clothes. Tift county is fortu
nate in having an editor of Mr. Her
ring’s caliber.
We’d like to toss congratulations,
felicitations and good-luck-tations to
friend Doyle Jones, editor of the

If W. J. Harris, member of the Fed
eral Trade Commission and former
chairman of the state executive com
mitte, and Senator T. W. Hardwick
lock horns the old state will be giv
en a few thrills. Both these gentle
men are smart politicians and experi
enced campaigners.
I In the face of present conditions,
the man who plants all his crop in
i cotton next year needs sympathy.
I Better plant some wheat and oats
and com and raise some hogs and
cattle and fight the high cost of liv
ing that way.
Hon. A. K. Hawkes, who died in
Atlanta the other day, was the type
of man worth while. He made money
but instead of spending it selfishly,
he gave to charity and education. Mr.
Hawke’s was a useful citizen and a
patriotic Georgian.
The fact that the fertilizer dealers
are already selling their product, the
earliest ever known, points to anoth
er large cotton acreage next year.
The sale of mules is also heavy. Bet
ter not stray too far from the hog and
hominy platform, Mr. Farmer.
Hon. John D. Walker, of Sparta,
chairman of the Georgia Democratic
campaign fund, did fine work. Due
in a large measure to his untiring
energy and enthusiasm Georgia con
tributed more than $22,000 to the
election fund. Mr. Walker is a very
able and very useful Georgian, and
never loses an opportunity to serve
the state when occasion is presented.
It develops that there is a deficit
of something like $300,000 in the
Democratic campaign fund. If you
are a loyal Democrat and have con
tributed or want to help some more
send your contribution to Hon. John
D. Walker, Sparta, Ga. Honest,didn’t
you get a dollar’s worth of fun out of
the celebration?
The Atlanta Journal has cut out
its country exchanges. It may save a
few dollars on white paper, but it’s
dollars to doughnuts that the Jour
nal will lose in the long run. The
country weekly is just as essential to
the city daily as the daily is to the
weekly. Closer co-operation between
the two is needed. Such mealy
mouthed niggardliness on the part of
Journal is resented by every self-re
specting country weekly in the state.

The appointment by Governor Har
ris of Hon. St. Elmo Massengale as
a member of the W. & A. commission
has met with general approval. Mr.
Massengale rendered the state effec
tive service as secretary of the state
executive committee and is a suc
cessful business man, being the head
of the well known Massengale Ad
vertising Agency of Atlanta.
The records show that the ship
ments of liquor are heavier under
the new law than was expected. The
express agents are reaping a rich
harvest with a fee of three cents for
each, shipment. There is talk of re
pealing that clause of the new law.
If Georgia ever expects to be dry
there should be no compromise with
the two-quart-a-month law.
