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.— Exchange.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS FOR SALE Ever-Bearing, Lady Thompson, and Allens Pet Strawberry plants for tale. 25c. per hundred at patch or H T. All -n, F.-2. 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.” —Clarence Poe, in The Progressive Farmer.
