ELECTION HELD
WEDNESDAY
As we w n! to pro; at 11 o’clock
last night, it was evident that Homer
Hancock and J. E. J. Lord hnd been
■nominated for the General A orr.bly
from Jackson county.
DeLaperriere had about 300 plu
rality over Torn Bell in Jackson
county.
With Mini.sh and Jefferson pre
cincts to hear from, Holder leads
Hardman by 62 votes. If Hardman’s
lead over Holder at Commerce (Min
ish) offsets Holder’s lead at Jeffer
son it seems Holder has carried the
county.
Ninth district vote between Bell,
DeLaperriere and Collins not re
ceived.
About twenty-five hundred votes
polled in the county.
SCHOOLS AND PENSIONERS GET
FUNDS ON PAY-AS-YOU
GO SYSTEM
The ability of the State of Georgia
to pay as she goes was again demon-
Btrated Tuesday when warrants -ag
gregating one million dollars were
drawn on the state treasury, to ad
vance $600,000 to the common schools
for thier openings and to pay Con
federate pensioners SSO each, or ap
proximately $500,000, for the third
quarter of 1926. This makes $l5O
each that Confederate veterans al
ready have received this year, com
pared to SIOO per annum previously.
BIG INCREASE IN FULTON
VALUES
A gain of $6,073,566 in Fulton
county taxable property over 1925
was shown Tuesday in thhe 1926 tax (
digest completed by Tax Receiver;
"W. H. Abbott.- This is a natural
gain, representing an increase in |
value, Mr. Abbott says, and is not
result of increase in the rate of
assessments.
County returns are up $2,375,945,
while city returns show an increase
of $5,615,530 in property owned by
white people and $128,035 in prop
erty owned by colored people.
Georgia Must Grow Things
Now Bought Outside
Mr. J. K. Orr, a prominent finan
cier of Georgia in u speech recently,
said:
“Georgia will never reach her,
proper place until she becomes self- J
supporting to the extent of grow
ing those things now bought out-,
side. The farmers of this state give j
away the profits from the cotton
crop every year. If every penny
made from cotton was put in the
bank and a record kept of the mon
ey spent for staple foods grown out
side the state, the two amounts
would just about balance each oth
er.”
This condition, Mr. OA- said, could
be remedied by the proper measures
of diversification and stock-raising.
“We Georgians buy 90 per cent of
our butter, 70 per cent of our pork,
,50 per cent of our beef, and even
25 per cent of our corn outside the
state. And there is no better state
in the world for raising cows and
hogs and corn than the state of Geor
gia. # •
“Just think what it would mean
if we would go to work and save
the profit from our cotton crop by
growing our own food. Every coun
ty in the state would have approxi
mately $1,000,000 more spending
money every year.
“Georgia is called the Empire
state, but I think what she needs
now is less empiring and more per
spiring.”
John Sheffield, of Americas, gov
ernor of the Thirty-ninth district of
Rotary clubs, which district includes
Atlanta, was a visitor, and made a
short talk at the meeting. He ex
pressed his pleasure at visiting the
Atlanta club, and told of the meet
ing of the Rotarian governors from
all over the world held recently.

SUMMER ADVERTISING
There a T, c .'.ome business firms that
j nr,alp it their practice to let up some
vh j. on their advertising in sam
| rncr. Sometimes they may argue that
: many of their townpeople are away*
But if that is -the case, it is also
usually true that a great many visi
tors are in the region at the time, and
are carefully looking over the news
paper., and making such purchases of
things as they need. When people are
away on vacations, they have con
siderable time in which they can put
in shopping, and often buy more than
they do at home.
Frequently they like to carry some
articles home as a kind of souvenir
of their trips. 7 firms that keep i
their advertising ud tnrough the sum
mer draw in a lot of transient trade
of people who are visiting in the lo
cality or who pass through it as
tourists.
A great many firms have goods in
stock at this time that will he's source
of expense if carried over another
season. , Styles may change, money
has to be borrowed to carry goods
that do not sell readily. A great
many enterprising firms find that
they gain the best result by cleaning
up their stock very largely as they
go and getting fresh goods on their
shelves. They accomplish this result
by advertising freely through, the
summer.
It is tremendous help to a firm if
it can give impression that it is push
ing for trade every day and week in
the year. The firm that advertises
constantly g'ives that Impression.
It makes the public feel that it is
alert all the time to pick up goods
at- a bargain, and pass its good
values on the public.
Metroplitan department stores
know the -game of merchandising, and
it is noticeable that they keep up a
great deal of advertising through the
summer. If it pays for them, it will
pay for the stores in Lavonia.—La
vrtnia Times.
THE HOME NEWSPAPER
If there is anything in your town
worth talking about, ten chances to
one your own newspaper had a hand
in putting it there.
Every town get3 its money’s worth
through the home newspaper. It’s
the wagon that carries all your goods
to market. It ought to be kept in
good repair. It will pay to grease it,
paint it and keep its running gears in
good shape and shelter.
It i* the guardian and defender of
every interest, the forerunner and
pioneer of every movement and the
sturdy advocate of law and order.—

Life Requires Allowances
(By Dr, Frank Crane.)
In all mortal affail's y-i have to
j make allowance. To be practical
you must figure on anything being
a little to-) long or a little too bi?.
Nothing fits perfectly, except on
(paper, in theory.
If you get a piece of wood to go
under the piano leg to keep the in
strument from wobbling you always
hate to whittle it or get a larger
piece.
When you order a roast from the
butcher you must buy several pounds
more than is needed for the com
pany. Hash for breakfast is saving
the margin.
If it takes four yards of goods
to make a dress you have to get four
yards and a half.
Around every house the carpenters
*re building are scantling ends,
laths, chips, and shavings. The stone
cutter’s yard is ankle deep with de
bris.
If a locomotive is exert normally
ten thousand horsepower it must be
constructed with a capacity for fif
teen thousand.
You cannot put' the ends of a
railway directly in contact, you must
leave a little room for the rails to
“crawl."
Your bureau drawers will not
work if they cannot play.
Neither can you get along with
folks unless there is room to rattle
a bit. Have rules for your children
of course but give them a little
leeway. If they are to be abed by
8, don’t get cross if they run over
to 8:15.
Be punctual, but not too blamed
punctual. There is nothing that
makes most men maddef than a
brass-bound ground-glass stopper,
officious and pugnacious virtue.
We all relish a little naughtiness
and waywardness now and then, be
cause it shows that the offender is
not screwed up too tight, and is not
liable to get a hot box.
In everything, except possibly
corsets, there should be room.
Let there be a marginal hour or
two in your day, a little leisure in
termixed with your work. Don’t
allow yourself to be always pressed
up to the limit.
And when you love do not measure
or economize. In love, if nowhere
else, the more you waste the more
you have.
To be a little kind you must be
kind a hundred times where it is not
appreciated.
To save one innocent man the law
lets ten guilty ones escape.
To be human you must make al
lowance. And there is nothing bet
ter than being human.
GET REMINISCENCES OF OLD
PEOPLE
Rut they are going now—fast,
very fast —those old soldiers “-who
once wore the gray of their country
and now wear the gray of God.”
A few of these yet linger with us.
But there is little time to lose in
the case of any of us who have kins
folks who yet remember the picture
sque era of slavery, war, and recon
struction —an era such as world
will never know again, no matter
how long it lasts. One of the things
I prize most is a typewritten copy
of the recollections of an old aunt
born in 1850, transcribed from notes
she laboriously wrote out for me with
a lead pencil. All of us ought to
preserve all such reminiscences and
family history while there is yet time
to do so, and pass them on to our
children and children's children.
I say this because these old people
who are yet with us not only remem
ber many incidents, the memory of
which should be long treasured and
preserved, but they also have a
quality of personality of which we
should seek to preserve the savor and
the fragrance. The world will yet
go a-seeking for the flavor of these
traits and characteristics so marked
in the old folks, and which we un
fortunately are in danger of losing.
As someone has well said:—
“Great friendships also aye rare in
the midst of the hurly-burly of these
days. Fellowship of spirits cannot
ripen in an age where busy men and
women are always just catching a
train or snatching their food from a
counter. It takes time to ripen
friendships. It also takes candidness
and simplicity of soul ,and a roaring
log fire and long hours of commun
ion. The passing of years has brought
j many benefits to mankind, but it
[has also taken some of these indis
pensable grandeurs of life which
grew out of the great simplicities.”
