WE SHOULD HONOR ANT) REVERE THE AGED
I know of no more pathetic figure than an aged man or
woman in full possession of their faculties, who has arrived at that
period of life when they realize their activities have ceased, that
they have fought their last battle, sheated the sword and are only
awaiting the grim reaper to come along and bear them away.
They perhaps have been leaders in their communities and
have lived to see their influence wane and their places filled by the'
young and vigorous. Your voice that was heard in the busy marts
of trade and your influence that was felt in your community was al
most forgotton when old age crept upon you and rendered you
unable to hold the fort.
The world loves youth and beauty and pays often an unde
served tribute. Silver locks, bowed form and wrinkled face does
not appeal to us. Innocent children awaken in us that love that is
natural to the human heart. Bouyant youth touchts a responsive
chord, but oh, how we fail to reverence and honor consecrated age.
The good old gun that has been shot has been hung upon the wall
or laid upon the shelf to rust. Ere the smoke of battle is cleared
away, and the sound of the gun dies out in the distance, the cripple
soldier has been forgotten.
Mother! incomparable and inestimable mother, you have well
nigh suffered the pangs of death, that the world might live. You
have gone down through the valley of the shadow of death for us.
You have fought a thousand battles and won. You have toiled,
pinched and sacrificed, that your sons and husbands might succeed
in life, and after many years of toil and consecration to duty how
often we forget and neglect you. You are often referred to “as
that old woman,’ ’ when you should be hailed as the uncrowned
queen of the world.
Do not neglect the aged. Greet them with a smile and a
deference that belongs to them. If you live you will some day
grow old and you may then realize the sadness of old age without
spmcone to cheer you.

The promoters of the Georgia Products Day had in mind the
thought of advertising our resources —what we are producing, and
what we can produce; but the underlying suggestion of great im
portance is to create a home market for farm products. The one
hundred banquets Tuesday, and the thousands of private dinners
was a starter.
A great many people and newspapers give a great deal of advice
to farmers, but if you will get near to them you will find that their
greatest need is for a local market for their produce— a market for
stuff other than cotton.
Does the average reader of the Telegraph know tnat the farm
ers have next to no market in any of our cities and towns for beef
and fresh pork? Do they know that they cannot sell to butchers,
and why? And the butchers are not to blame, and why?
The main reason is that we do not have local packing plants.
The trade is controlled, therefore, by fereign concerns who are not
purchasers in Georgia of “raw” material.—Macon Telegraph.

Greek Consul Pleased
With Treaty Of Peace
All Greeks Perfer Honorable
Peace to Doubtful Gain
Macon, Nov. 18. —Demetri Vafi
adi, consul from Greece to the
southern states, with headquarters
in Atlanta, has returned to Atlanta
after a visit of official inspection to
Macon. He stated that the Greeks
in all parts of the world, and peo
ple of other nations are highly grat
ified to learn of the signing of the
treaty of peace last week.
“All the Greeks rejoiced at hear
ing of the end of the war and sign
ing of the peaee treaty,” said Mr.
Vafiadi to a Telegraph reporter.
“While we never feired of any
complication with Turkey ami were
-lire of ultimate success for our
armies, yet an honorable peace is i
much more preferable to a doubtful j
gain.
“Greece came out victorious from 1
~ . I
every point of view —victorious in
the field against two terrible foes;
victorious as far as civilization is
concerned and last but not least,
victorious in her diplomatic under
takings.
“The 100,000 prisoners from
both the wars are living witnesses
of the civilized methods that were
employed in treating them during
their captivity.
“Greece comes out of the war
doubled in size and in population,
and if the two points left open for
final settlement by the powers, such
as the disposition of the Albanian
houndries and the Aegian Islands.
In tins it is hoped that the powers
will see that justice is done.
“Freed from all complications of
the war, Greece will see without the
least delay that all the new terri
tories get the benefit of the modern
civilization. Macedonia and Epirus,
bring two of the richest counties on
the face of the earth which must be
given every opportunity to be deyel-
J, ' -
oped.
“Railroads are aheady under
consideration for these rich .fields;
mints and forests must he opened
for development; electric plants
and we,ter powers must he installed
on the streams, and it could not he,
to my mind, an impossibility for
American capitalists to take part in
the investments of capital in
Greater Greece.’
“American investments will he
not only welcome, but the Greek
people, who arc so thankful to the
American nation for the moral sup
port. they' received during their re
cent troubles, hut would he fully
protected in every way possible and
we believe they would he justified
in making such investments from a
financial point of view .
“Within a few months there will
he established Greek trans-Atlantic
liners which will operate weekly
and draw America and Greece into
a closer business relation and he for
the mutual benefit of the two na
tions.”
Mr. Yafidai states that while
many of the American Greeks who
were in the recent war will return
to America to resume their busi
ness many others were killed in
battles. The consul says that re
ports have come from Greece that
the American Greeks distinguished
themselves as being the best fighters
in the recent war. —Macon Telegraph
Hon. Demetri Vafiadi, Consul of
Greece for the Southern States, Was
a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Martin of
our city, on his way to the different
Greek communities of the South.
