Jefferson, Ga., July 29, 1926
Twenty-two people were injured in
automobile accidents in AHanta,
Monday.
Here is a spark from the North
Georgia Nugget, edited by W. B.
Townsend, at Dahlonega: “While
Mr. Andrew Beck is sick thirty-six
of his neighbors in Cane Creek went
©ut Tuesday and grave him a day’s
work. This is the right kind of re
ligion.”

A contemporary has “fixed” the
meaning of “optimism” when he says
that it is the ability to speak of “my
car” in the face of a chattel mort
gage, two payments in arrears and
six payments still to be made, a bill
at the garage and gasoline selling
for 28 cents per gallon.—Monticello
News.
The cool east winds which struck
Georgia Sunday night was the result
of a hurricane that swept nothwest
from the Bahamas. The storm struck
Miami, Fla., with great force, tear
ing down wires, uprooting trees, and
doing damage estimated at thousands
of dollars.'
Judge Alexander Campbell King,
one of Georgia’s leading jurists and
most distinguished citizens, died
shortly after noon Sunday at his
summer home at Flat Rock, N. C. He
had been in failing health for some
time, but news of his death came as a
shock to his friends.
The Georgia State Agricultural
Society will hold its eightieth annual
meeting in Dawson on August 3rd
and 4th. Judge Peter W. Meldrim
of Savannah is president of the so
ciety, and the program for the con
vention will be very interesting.
Editor Benns of the Butler Herald
says prices for peaches this season
have been very disappointing to grow
ers, and that it is very doubtful that
marketing expenses will be covered.
The shipping season has closed in
the county, which is in the heart of
the peach section.
Estimated state revenues for the
year 1926 were given another boost
Saturday when Comptroller General
William A. Wright announced that
the assessed valuation of the proper
ties of public service corporations in
Georgia will be at least $9,000,000
in excess of the 1925 valuations.
The Sunday school class of James
L. Mayson, Grace Methodist church,
Atlanta, had an attendance on last
Sunday of 960 pupils present. The
entire Sunday school numbered 1281.
At Wesley Memorial church the at
tendance was 1926, with 612 pupils
in one class taught by the pastor,
Rev. Marvin Williams.
Rains which have fallen in this
section during the past week have
reduced the high temperatures, and
will greatly benefit the growing
crops. Some localities around Jef
ferson have not had a “season” since
the crops wfcre planted, and con
ditions were becoming serious. The
rains of this week will revive the
crops, and bring them out to some
extent, but ifl many cases it is too
late to do much good.
In one of the city parks in Chica
go, a fountain has just been com
pleted which is the largest in the
world, and is built of marble from
the quarries located in North Geor
gia. The fountain occupies a space
as large as two city blocks, with the
main stream thrown to the height of
ninety feet. Every spray comes
from a shell, exquisitely carved, or
from other beautiful figures, all of
this work done by sculptors at the
Georgia quarry. Accomplishments
like this are happening every day to
make Georgians proud of Georgia.
Mrs. Rebecca Felton, the Sage of
Bartow, has written a letter to the
Constitution, in which she implies
that the federal reserve bank sys
tem should have “gone to the rescue”
of the chain of small banks that re
cently collapsed in Georgia and Flori
da. She cites the recent shipment of
currency from the Atlanta federal
reserve bank to save the banking
situation in Havana, which at the
time was seriously imperiled by local
economic conditions. Had the banks
in the collapsed chain been members
of the reserve system, the calamity
would not have happened. The par
ent bank of the broken chain was not
subject to state or federal inspection.
Jackson county has thirty-five
students at the University of Georgia
summer school this year. With over
1,900 students enrolled the school
will close its sixth week next Satur
day. Examinations foivthe six weeks’
course begin Thursday and end Fri
day. The nine weekfc’ session will
not end until the latter part of Aug
ust.
Those who have not planted the
following vegetables within the last
few weeks should put them in soon;
fall Irish potatoes, cabbage, collards,
tomatoes, snapbeans, butterbeans,
late roasting ears, carrots, okra, cu
cumbers, beets, and Chinese or celery
cabbage. These crops planted now
should give excellent returns. Some
of them may be caught by the cold
weather, but certainly mo3t of them
that are tender should mature suffi
ciently ahead of cold weather to make
the planting worth while.
The Georgia State College at Ath
ens, Ga., has been making some ex
periments with sheep. These experi
ments are demonstrating the practi
cal phases of sheep raising in the
Piedmont section. Last fall a year
ago they bought some ewes in the
mountain section of the state for the
purpose of crossing these grade sheep
with purebred rams. The gross re
turn per ewe the first year was sl2.
The sheep industry formerly flourish
ed in Georgia and would today but
for worthless dogs. Here is an
instance of where people thought
more of morgrcl dogs than of sheep.
The wool is profitable. Mutton can
always be sold to advantage. There
is no country in the world better
adapted to sheep raising than Middle
and North Georgia.
THOMPSON DECLARES
POSITION OF HOLDER
IS PERFECTLY CLEAR
Hon. A. H. Thompson, leading at
torney of LaGrange, and promi
nently mentioned as a candidate for
governor on the pay-as-you-go plan
for paving the roads of Georgia, has
written a letter to The Atlanta Jour
nal, in which he declares that Mr.
Holder has made his position per
fectly clear, said position coinciding
with the views of Mr. Thompson,
who expresses the opinion that
“thousands of Georgians are very
much interested in supporting that
candidate who is definitely opposed
to state bonds and who also favors
practical and economical highway
legislation.”
Mr. Thompson says further: “Ap
parently, one of the candidates is in
favor of a large bond issue, another
candidate favors a small bond issue,
and two of the candidates are appar
ently opposed to any issue of bonds.”
EDITOR GRATEFUL FOR
“SHOWERS”
The editor of the Montgmery Coun
ty Monitor says he is grateful for
“Showered attentions and the result
ing feasts.” Although the banks
broke and the Monitor lost all it’s
ready cash, yet the paper’s friends
remembered the eidtor with a “.show
er” of watermelons, peaches, canta
loupes, etc., which at least kept the
wolf from the door. In one edi
torial, he said, “We hate to lose the
money which represents hard earn
ings of a lifetime; but it is about as
good as having it right on and then
let it lose us, which must have hap
pened. There is no use crying over
spilled milk; it’s gone.”
And in another column he writes,
“Friends are coming in and stand
ing by these days in such a way as
to make the heart glad, as w r ell as to
satisfy the appetite that craves for
those fine things which the Divine
has placed here below in such graci
ous variety and superabundance.
Watermelons, peaches, cantaloupes,
and the like are brought to the Moni
tor office from .time to time by our
well-wishers, and sometimes, by those
who simply take pity on the lean
looking condition of the “force.”
RAILROAD BUYS STONE MOUN
TAIN MEMORIAL COINS

rial half-dollars, Hollins Randolph,

PAPER AT GAINESVILLE
TO OBSERVE BIRTHDAY
Gainesville, Ga.—The Gainesville
Eagle will celebrate its 66th birthday
the second week in August with a
special edition containing a history
of its eventful career and a sketch
of its founder, Captain William
Mitchell, who raised a company here
in 1861 and was killed in 1862. The
Eagle is the seventh oldest paper in
the state, only exceeded in age by
the Augusta Chronicle, established
1785; Macon Telegraph, 1826; Co
lumbus Enquirer-Sun, 1828; Rome
Tribune-Herald, 1842; Warrenton
Clipper, 1843, and Savannah News,
1850.
Of Captain Mitchell’s company of
100 men who left here for the scenes
of war in the summer of 1861, only
one is now living, Corporal Robert
Clinton Young, living three miles
from the city, in his 91st year.
INCREASED ICE CREAM
CONSUMPTION
The American people have become
a nation of ice cream eaters. In fact,
no other nation of the world com
pares with this country. The De
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton has given out some interesting
figures showing the consumption of
ice cream last year with comparisons
of previous years which show a
healthy increase.
The Manufacture’s Record deals
with the report in the following sum
mary:
“This is a nation of ice-cream
eaters, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture, which esti
mates that 322,729,000 gallons of
ice cream were consumed last year.
Consumption in 1910 was 95,*459,-
000 gallons. By 1915 the figure
reached 175,224,000 and by 1920 it
had increased to 260,000,000 gallons.
“Ice cream consumption varies
from year to year, influenced by
weather conditions, but the long
time trend is distinctively upward,
the department says. A wholesome
product, convenient packages and
ice-cream cones are given as reasons
for the increased consumption.”

J. C. SIMS PRAISES CONGRESS
MAN BELL
Commerce, Jackson County, Ga., R.
12, July 18, 1926.—Editor, Winder
News, Dear Mr. Editor: I was sure
proud to see your editorial in be
half of our Congressman, Mr. Bell.
He deserves all you said about him,
and the people in this section agree
with you fully.
I am just a common farmer, but
I have known Tom Bell for about 40
years, and I know that he is a friend
to the farmer. I want to tell you
something about him. During the
big exposition in Atlanta in 1891 or
92, one of my neighbors went with
me to Atlanta to attend the fair. We
could not find a bed to sleep on, and
after walking about all over the city
in vain, we met Mr. Bell and his
, brother, Frank, on the street about
midnight, and they gave up their bed
to us to sleep on, and the two of
them stayed up all night and walked
the street while we slept. With
such spirit in a man as that, there
is no wonder he has so many friends
everywhere who are willing to assist
him in all his undertakings.
Yours truly,
J. C. Sims.

30 COWS STAGGER HOME FROM
MASH PARTY; TWO DIE
Joliet, 111.—At evenfall the lowing
herds come winding o’er the lea —
that is generally. But it was a
staggering herd that hiccoughed and
swayed giddily in from a pasture near
here.
The poetic beauty of the returning
kine had been ruined by 69,000 gal
lons of mash, seized in raids by
State’s Attorney Hjalmar Rehn, and
which had been dumped out in the
pasture.
Thirty cows imbided. Two died and
the rest —zig-zagged home ready to
sign the pledge.

LOSES HIS LIFE TRYING
TO SAVE HIS MELON
Eatonton.—John Gay, a well
known Eatonton negro, has just
proven again the truth of the old
proverb that “the ruling passion is
strong in death.” John lost his life
grabbing for a watermelon as it fell
from a truck on which John was
riding. The driver of the truck was
going at a fast clip and John grab
bed at the rolling melon and fell
from the vehicle, breaking his neck.
MR. BUSINESS MAN
In a recent utterance, Bruce
Barton, nationally known writer,
said:
“No plant can depreciate so fast
as public good will; for the plant is
built of the same brick and mortar
today as yesterday, but your public
is a different public every day. In
every group of 1,000 people in the
United States 11 people die every
year, and 22 people are born. There
is no such thing in public relations
as staying where you are. . Every
year 11 people out of every thous
and—full of your good will propa
ganda—depart into a country where
there is no space or time; and 22
people, full of nothing but ignor
ance and appetite, rise up to demand
who are you are, and by what right
you are entitled to your business and
your profits.”
ARE GEORGIANS LAZY?
This question is asked by someone
in Sylvester,' according to the Monroe
Advertiser, in reference to the buy
ing of hay from Canada, by Georgia
farmers:
“We folks down here in God’s
country are still cussing grass and
buying hay from Canada. We say
there is no money in the dairy busi
ness, while the farmers of Wisconsin
send through Georgia every day car
loads of milk and butter to markets
of Florida and Cuba. We say there
is no money in hogs and buy a larger
part of our meat and cooking fats
from the western states, where most
of the farmers own their own homes.
All of which proves that we are, as a
whole, a lazy people.”
ALL IS NOT FIT TO PRINT
A dearth of local news often leads
to murmurs on the part of those who
prize local gossip above all else, and
it is not the fault of the publisher.
Any live publisher will not fail to give
all the local news worthy of note;
therefore, when the local department
is short you should not rail at the
editor, but remember you might have
committed suicide, got married, quar
reled with your neighbor, stole chick-
I ens, let your team run away or done
, a hundred other things to make a lo-
I cal item. If a newspaper should pub
lish current gossip, or the hints and
allussions of the best society in the
community it would be ostracized and
the editor horsewhipped or burned at
[ the stake. Think a minute of the
(mean and low things you say about
j your townsmen and your neighbors
[and imagine how it would look in
print. Don’t criticize the newspapers
for what they print, but give them
great credit for what they don’t print.
A newspaper that contained one-halt
the nonsense current among the best
citizens, would be considered unfit to
read. Honest!—Patchogue (N. Y.)
