If we are going to have paved
streets eventually, why not now?
Say it with kind words. Scatter
s few flowers in the pathway of the
living.
Mr. Business Man, are you
broadcasting? The buying public is
listening in.
Peach county will probably win
at the polls this year by a peach
f majority.
The schools from Rabun’s (Jap to
Tybe e Light are crowded and illi
teracy is on the run in Georgia.
If hell is paved with good inten
tions it is a long ways ahead of
some of Georgia’s roads.
The hunting season will soon be
fcere and there will be joy unre
strained.
The school tax levy in Monroe
county is eight mill?. If the people
want education they murt pay for
it.
Consolidated schools will prove a
great asset to Georgia. Butts coun
ty is doing work along this line
bat there is still much to be done.
What’s ho'diixg Jackson back on
paved streets? Now is the accepted
time to go after this great improve
ment.
When the rich and powful get
defeated for office they go to Eu
rope for consolation. The poor fel
low has to go to work.
Electrocution will kill criminals
quicker but the nooee was mighty
••active. Th© trouble has been
it baa not been used enough.
It hoc been so long sue© we
bane heard of the office seeking
the man that w e have forgotten
all about it.
At the close of thie year the
cow, sow and hen program of farm
ing will be more firmly intrenched
than ever. This is a combination
you cannot beat.
This tingue of autumn in the air
is the signal to get busy and stay
on the job. We ought to make it
•
a great season for Jaclc&on and
Butts county.
As usual, Georgia failed to vote
her full strength in th e primary of
September 10. There is something
wrong with the citizen who refuses
to vote and then complains at con
ditions.
Davis and Bryan are getting up
plenty of steam for the last lap
of th e race. We believe the coun
try will repudiate the rottenness
and graft of the Republican ad
ministration.
A number of the weekly papers
are beginning to bulge with fall
advertising. They have had a lean
and hungry look for quite a spell
and deserve all the business they
get. There is no state in the union
that has a better class of weekly
newspapers than Georgia.
Years of service, year of hard
work and years of devotion to the
public welfare are not always* ap
preciated. There is no public of
ficial in Georgia who has given bet
ter service to the people than Hon.
John T. Boifeuillet, member of the
Public Service Commission. Yet he
wa defeated in the recent primary.
If protection is a good thing for
on e part of the country why is it
not a good thing for all the coun
try? There is a change of opinion
in the south regarding a protective
tariff. The South has been the
nation’s step-child too long for it’s
own good.
The pay up slogan cannot be too
strongly stressed this fall. There are
many debts that have been carried
for years. Somebody has literally
had to “sweat blood” to accom
modate you. Then isn’t it the right
thing to do to pay up as far as
you can? By doing this you will
be helping the entire community
and will be assured of getting ad
ditional help when you need it.
The busy season is at hand and
when you plan your shopping give
thought to the hom e business man.
There are just as good values at
home as away from home and when
you spend your money with home
people you have the consciousness
of knowing the money will be used
over and over for community im
provement. Support of home enter
prises is good business looked at
from any angle.
The world nrny be getting worse
instead of better but you will have
a hard tim© convincing us of that
fact. There is more charity than
ever before. The peopl e are doing
more to reliev© suffering. Individuals
and organisations are contributing
large sums for the education of
worthy deserving boys and girls.
Numbers of hospitals are going up
for the treatment of crippled chil
dren. The world is all right. It
all depends on how you look at
things.
It is very much to be hoped
that Jackson will soon have a can
ning factory in operation twelve
months in th© year. The value of
such an enterprise cannot be over
estimated. Peppers ar e proving a
splendid crop in two or three
counties in this section. There are
other fruits and vegetables that
Butts county can grow successfully
and with the local factory operating
throughout the year all lines of
business and farming will be great
ly stimulated and benefited.
By this time we trust all politi
cians have enough seinee to lot the
Ku Klux Klan alone. If the klan

has merit it will live and if it has
no merit it will soon pass off the
etage of action. It takes good man
to make a good organization of any
kind. This business of dragging the
kian into politics is getting to be
disgusting. So far as we can see
a man has as much right to be.ong
to the kian as he has to. the church
or any other organization. Attacks
on the Ku Klux Kian seem to us
to be cheap politics.
Remember the community in your
will. Why not? Wouldn’t it be a
fine thing if the schools o'f Butts
county had a large endowment?
Wouldn’t it be a fine thing to have
a hospital for the treatment of the
sick and afflicted? And wouldn’t
It be a fine thing to hav e a Y.M.
C.A. in Jackson? If you spend your
life in a community, make your
money in that community do you
not owe something to that com
munity? Then remember the com
munity in your will. That’s beats
sending your money to Oshkosh and
Shanghai. Think it over.
Consolidated schools will be of
great help to the child in the rural
communities.
LOOK OUT, “PLAIN DICK’’
When the time comes some good
man will get Judge Dick Russell’s
job as chief of the Supreme Court.
The judge has lowered the dignity
of the position he holds. He isn't
anything but a peanut politician and
the people will get his number at
the first opportunity.—Greensboro
Herald-Journal.
LIME ON CLOVER LAND PAYS
Walter Jones, a Robertson Coun
ty, Tennessee, farmer, reports that
he igot over two tons of good clean
hay per acre on land he Mined
while the reft of the field which
was not limed made less than one
ton per acre. He plans to use 200
tons of lime this fall.
POLITICAL MEDDLER
During the recent state campaign,
Judge R. B. Russell, chief justice
of th e state supreme court, went
over the state making speeches for
Thomas W. Hardwick. The Barnes
ville News-Gazette fires the follow
ing broadside at “Plain Dick”
Ru.-sell:
Judge Dick Russell, chief justice
of the Suprem e Court of
presented a sorry spectacle in the
recent campaign, when he dragged
this great court into the mire of
politics as he went about the state
making political speeches in favor
of Hardwick, who, with the chief
justice’s help, was enabled to carry
about eight of the on e hundred and
sixty counties of the state. If
Judge Russell has any sense of pro
priety left he will immediately re
sign and let someone more deserv
ing occupy this exalted office.
CHEAP INSURANCE
It is said that it costs twen
ty cents an acre to destroy cot
ton stalks; it is also said that
weevil cost—in crops that are
lost —more than fifty dollars
an acre; it is said that destroys
ing the cotton stalks will pre
vent many of the weevils from
coming back another year.
There’s a plain business ques
tion —in simple mathematics,
with economical agriculture on
the side. —Savannah News.
The destruction of cotton stalks
early in the fall is cheap insurance.
It Jhould b© a co-operative move
ment, for the boll weevil is not
going to be whipped by individual
effort. When every farmer destroys
his cotton stalks in th© fall and
when everybody poisons cotton in
the summer then the boll weevil
will find that he is up against some
stiff competition.
LITTLE THINGS
It is the little things that stick
tightest in the memory.
It is not your friends integrity
that endears him to you, nor his
moral purity that your thoughts
love to dwell upon; bnt the Kttle
ways and manners that are peculiar
ly his own and that makes him differ-
ent to *ll others. You don’t think
much about his honesty, truthful
ness or trustworthiness; but you
will never forget how much sun
shine can flash in his smile, nor
how his eyee twinkle when he is
going to say something mean,
nor what a warmth and wealth
feeling can be expressed in the
touch of his hand.
It is the little things that make a
man or woman beloved in their
neighborhood; little service render
ed little kindnesses done, little acts
of thoughtfulness and little expres
sions, that continually prove their
genuine interest in the happiness
and good of others. Such a man or
woman may have grave faults, but.
people don’t think much about the
faults of one who has laugher with
them, sorrowed with them, uncon
sciously brought the sunshine back
into their darkened sky. It is such
people that all of us in our heart
of hearts believe we shall find again
in heaven.
It is the little graces, the little
kindnesses, the little courtesies that
make life sweet as it is the little
flowers that make the jmeadow
beautiful.
Success is the sum total of little
things done faithfully and well.
Happiness is the sum total of little
joys accepted and little things and
wounds and irritations forgotten.
Goodness is the sum total of
little service rendered graciously and
little duties done willingly. Heaven
will be the reward ol littl e burdens
borne without complaint; little bat
tles fought without bitterness, little
victories won without pride and
little joys accepted without selfish
ness. —Jessie Baxter Smith in The
Dalton Citizen.
A CARPET OF GREEN
Dairymen and farmers of Butts
county have started a mighty move
ment in planting fall and winter
grazing and cover crops. First and
foremost the feed shortage must
be faced and solved. Again, the
soil must he saved from “running
red to the sea” and the barren
hills built up to a state of fertility
that will return a profit for the
labor and effort expended in culti
vating a crop. Here, then, are the
reasons for the soil improvement
and grazing crop campaign that is
on in full blast in Butts county.
It would be a mighty fine thing
if Butts county was one solid car
pet of green this winter. In ad
dition to the old established wheat,
oat and rye crops, there are numer
ous other crops that can be planted
to advantage, such as yellow melilo
tus or sweet c'.over, crimson clover,
burr clover hairy vetch, Black
Medic, barley, alfalfa and perhaps
others.
Butts county farmers are to be
congratulated for their fine display
Of interest in this matter. They have
mad e a wonderfully fine start. That
others will see and catch the in
spiration is not to be doubted.
What is being done along this
line is vastly more important to
the peace, progress and welfare
of the county and stat© than a
whole bull pen of small-bore politi
cians.
Let’s go t<> it and keep up the
lick. We need fertle land to make
rich farmers—there is no other
way—and we need the feed for
live stock.
In truth and verity let’s make
Butts county a carpet of green
this winter.
THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
The oldest state university in
The United States w the University
of Georgia, the charter having been
granted in 1785. Many of the
states of the union now have state
universities patterned after the
University of Georgia.
In a recent article in the Christian
Science Monitor Howard Bowman
writes interestingly of this institu
tion. The quiet, serene atmosphere
that pervades this nictitation makes
it different from other colleges, the
writer says.
Mr. Bowman pays a tribute to
Chancellor David Crenshaw Bar
row. “Uncle Dave,” as he is affec
tionately known to University men.
went to the cupboard to get some change to pay the washer
woman, but when she got there the cupboard was bare for
some thief had emptied the tin cup in which she kept her
money and nothing remained.
If all the dear old Mother Hubbards—and young ones too
—would keep their money in a good bank they could find it
when they need it. We offer our service to the ladies.

has guided the institution for many
years. He has a remarkable influence
throughout the state and is easily
Georgia’s first citizen.
Writing of Chancellow Barrow,
Mr. Bowman says:
To realize the fin e signifi
ance of the words “Old South”
and have their true meaning
sharply differentiated from the
overdrawn and theatrical af-
fectation of those who have
no claim <to this distinction;
and to have them cleared of
the maudlin and exaggerated
ideas of an imaginary medieval
ehivalry, one has but to meet
the present chancellor of the
university. What a difference
of opinion, as to southern char
acter, the present writer can
not but venture to think,
would b e entertained by many
who live in states remote from
the southland, could they but
meet and know this representa
tive of the Old South, a man
of inflexible and sterling quali
ties of mind, which embody re
finement, gentleness and love
of mankind as a flower in ad
dition to its beauty of fragrance
and form, embodies its color.
David Crenshaw Barrow,
chancellor of the University of
Georgia, is a descendant of sev
eral generations of students
of the university, and is him
self a graduate. He may, there
fore, justly be considered a
University of Georgia product.
“Every great institution is but
the lengthened shadow of a single
man,” and this is particularly true
of the University of Georgia, for
Cancellor Barrow’s hand has guid
ed it through many years, and his
influenc e rests on the school and
its graduates like a benediction
from above.

PLANT STARK’S ORIGINAL TREE STRAIN
Whole Root Trees
Unreliable nurseries usually offer great bargains. Cheap in price
usually means cheap in grade and a poor grade tree is worse than none
as it will be a disappointment all through its life—if it lives. Stick to
well-known varieties, but try anew variety if its reputation is good.

The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separat

Their signals of distress are easily
recognized and include such symp
toms as lumbago, backache, depres
sions, drowsiness, irritability, Head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as
do the bowels, need .to be flushed
occasionally. The kidneys are an
eliminative organ and are constantly
working, separating the poisons
from the blood. Under this con
tinual and perpetual action they are
apt to congest, and then . trouble
starts. Uric acid backs up into the
system, causing rheumatism, neural
gia, dropsy and many other serious
disturbances. It means that you are
a victim of uric acid poisoning. Then
