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 THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA. 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. INTEREST PAID ON TIME CERTIFICATES Farmers & Merchants Bank The Cow, the Sow, and the Hen keep steady cash coming in. 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.

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 ask your druggist for Anuric (anti uric acid) and you will very soon be come one of hundreds who have been helped by this powerful enemy to uric acid. . , Dr. Pierce manufactures Anuric (kidney-backache) tablets and you can obtain a trial pkg. by enclosing 10c and addressing Dr. Pierce, In valids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N, Y. “COLD IN THE HEAD” lx an acuta attack of Nasal Catarrh.
