Charles Franklin Thwing, presi
dent emeritus of Western Reserve
University has brought out the fact
that in the generation from 1890 to
1920 the annual cost of education in
elementary and secondary schools
rose from $150,000,000 to more than
$1,000,000,000. The increase in
pupils was only two-fold, showing the
enormous increase in per capita ex
pense of education. “But,” asks Dr.
Thwing, “are we getting an adequate
return in the intelligence and charac
ter of these boys and girls for the
vastness of the cost of their educa
tion?” And his answer is “No.”
Cole Bloase, Democratic Senator
of South Carolina, says, “Hard times
face the farmers because of the low
price of cotton, as the present price
is below the cost of production. Fed
eral loans will help tide them over,
but no permanent relief will be
found until the farmers organize, re
duce acreage, stabilize the price, and
hold the cotton for their price.” If
Senator Blease will tell the farmers
how to stabilize the price, and how
to hold the cotton until they get
their price, he will do them a great
favor.
Georgia’s indicated cotton crop this
year of 1,340,000 bales of 500 pounds
is more evenly distributed than in
years. North and Middle Georgia
will make considerably more cotton
than in the last several years, while
South Georgia—the coastal plain—
will not, according to the govern
ment forecast as of October 1, last,
make as much as last year. The pro
duction will be substantially greater
than in 1924.
The statement is being made that
the farmer who averages only 160
pounds of lint cotton to the acre
this year must receive at least 18
cents per pound for it to even break
even. At the present price of 13
cents per pound, a yield of 246
pounds to the acre must be harvest
ed, and then a farmer is only swap
ping dollars.
Julian Collins, of Camilla, Ga.,
won the S4OO scholarship offered by
the American Jersey Cattle club for
being the best judge of breed in vo
cational high school contests at the
National Dairy exposition, held in
Detroit last week.
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
INCREASE
Five persons killed and forty-three
injure;) was the human traffic toll in
Georgia last week, including Sunday,
according to figures compiled bjr
Associated Press, which show an in
crease of four deaths and seven in
juries over the week previous.
The department of Commerce has
just compiled figures showing that
4,162 people killed in automo
bile accidents in 78 cities from Janu
ary 3rd to September 11th. Forty
of these were killed in Atlanta.
A considerable variation occurs in
the number of deaths from month to
month, it was shown in the report.
Starting with 431 in the January pe
riod, the number fell off to a min
imum of 347 in March, increased to
549 for the four weeks ending June
19, was lower during the next two
periods, but increased to a maximum
of 560 in the period ending Septem
ber 11.
New York, with 663, led all cities
in the number of automobile fatalities
during the nine months’ period. Chi
cago was second with 435 deaths, and
Detroit third, with 203. Oothers of
the 78 cities recording more than 100
deaths during the nine months’ period
were: Philadelphia, 185; Los Angeles,
148; Cleveland, 143; St. Louis, 126,
and Pittsburgh, 105.
“LIFE’S TEST”
“There’s only one method of meetin’
life’s test;
Jes’ keep on a-stirin’ and hope for
the best ;
Don’t give up the ship an’ quit in
dismay;
Cause hammers are thrown when
you’d like a bouquet
This world would be tiresome and
we’d all get the blues.
If all the folks in it jes’ held the
same views.
So finish your work, show the best
of your skill.
Some folks won’t like it, but other
folks will.”
The northeast Georgia apple crop
is expected to yield 300 cars this
season, according to Southern railway
officials, who are planning to move
the entire crop. The production of
apples in this field was short in 1925
as the result of the unprecedented
drouth but this year there has been
plenty of rain and growers are ex
pecting apples of excellent quality as
well as a liberal yield.

SEES DIVINE HAND IN STORM
R. W\ Seymour, a former citizen
of Athens, now practicing law in
Miami, Fla., writes an Athens friend
as follows:
“I cannot help but believe there
is some retribution in this hurricane.
The people of Miami have wandered
away from the beaten paths of re
ligion: While we had some of the
most magnificient church structures
of any city in the country, yet the
attendance was very slight as to what
it formerly was before the people got
so much money. Last Sunday every
church in Miami, except a few that
were blown down, were crowded to
capacity. This shows that the people
still believe in Almightly God and
that he will administer retributive
justice at the proper time. You
know, that I am an old-timer
and I believe in old time religion
and in my mother’s old Bible;
in other words I am a fundamentalist
and will never depart from the faith
as long as I live on the earth.”
