Henry W. Grady’s Speech
On Liquor
“My friends, hesitate before you
vote liquor back into Atlanta, now
that it is shut out. Don’t trust it.
It is powerful, aggressive and uni
versal in its attacks. Tonight it
enters an humble home to strike the I
roses from a woman’s cheek, and to-!
morrow it challanges this Republic ‘
in the halls of Congress.
"Today it strikes the crust from
the lips of a starving child, and to
morrow levies tribute from the gov
ernment itself. There is no cottage
in this city humble enough to escape
it—no palace strong enough to shut
it out.
“It defies the law when it cannot
coerce suffrage. It is flexible to
cajole, but merciless in victory. It
is the mortal enemy of peace and
order. The despoiler of man, the
terror of women, the cloud that
shadows the face of children, the
demon that has dug more graves
and sent more souls unshriven to
judgment than all the pestilences
that have wasted life since God sent
the plagues to Egypt, and all the
wars since Joshua stood before
Jericho.
“O my countrymen! Loving God
and humanity, do not bring this
grand old city again under the do
minion of that power. It can profit
no man by its return. It can up
lift no industry, revive no interest,
remedy no wrong. You know that
it cannot. It comes to destroy, and
it shall profit mainly by the ruin of
your sons and mine. It comes to
mislead human souls and crush hu
man hearts under its rumbling
wheels.
“It comes to bring gray-haired
mothers down in sorrow to their
graves. It comes to turn the wife’s
love into despair, and her pride in
to shame. It comes to still the
laughter on the lips of little children
and to stifle all the music of the
home and fill it with silence and
desolation.
“It comes to ruin your body and
mind, to wreck your home, and it
measures the duration of its pros
perity by the swiftness and certain
ty with which it does its work.”
NEWSPAPERS ARE HARD HIT
(From Sylvester Local)
No line of business in the coun
try will feel the special taxes levied
by congress, a portion of which went
into effect last Tuesday, more than
the newspapers.
Every hour the printing plant of
the Local is in operation during the
next two years it will have to con
tribute one sort of tax or another to
the federal government.
The Local will have to pay an
extra cent a gallon on gasoline used
to heat its Linotype pot. It will
have to pay 3 per cent on all the
electric current used for lights. It
will have to pay a tax of two cents
on every check drawn to pay salaries
of employes, for paper, ink, etc.
After July 6th we will have to
pay wartime postage ratqp on the
papers sent through the mail. It
will have to pay an additional cent
on each letter mailed out.
Under present conditions there is
no possible way for the newspaper
to pass these taxes on to the sub
scribers, the advertisers or the job
printing patrons. That being true
our only way to partly meet the
situation is to reduce these items to
the minimum. In order to do this
it may become necessary to cut out
some of the correspondence, to re
duce the number of pages in the
paper that carry practically no ad
vertising and to carry no name on
the subscription list not paid for in
advance. It will be necessary for us
to make prompt collections for ad
vertsing and to require payment in
advance for job printing for all who
have no established account with us.
GEORGIA’S FIRST BALES
Georgia’s first 1932 bale of new
growth cotton was grown on the
farm of J. L. and L. R. Joiner, near
Meigs, Thomas county. Tbe staple
was picked last Friday and Satur
day, ginned Monday by J. N. Car
ter Cos., of Meigs, and shipped to
Atlanta Monday afternoon, where
it was auctioned off Tuesday at tle
Atlanta Commercial Exchange.
Another early bale, produced on
[the Tift county plantation of J. D.
Cook, at Chula, was picked Monday
morning and ginned late that a er
noon. The bale is being brought to
Atlanta and auctioned off.
“Don’t strew me with roses after I
am dead,
When death claims the light of
my brow;
No flowers of life will cheer me
instead,
You may give me my roses now.”
—Exchange.
The Modern Drug Store
A United States government de
partment or bureau having a dull
day on its hands and being of a
statistical turn of mind as usual,
has been making inquiry on the
evolution of the American drug
store. Its findings are interesting
as reported by the Journal of Com
merce. This periodical has made an
observation on the merchandise de
sires of 17,000 people who visited
a drug store in the New York metro
politan district.
It was found that for 7,800 of
these patrons, or more than 45 per
cent, the soda fountain was the first
point of call. The tobacco counter
attracted 2,899. Nearly 3,000 visit
ed the candy counter and 1,040
went to the section where toilet
goods are sold. Only 1,743, or a
bout 10 per cent, called at the coun
ter selling medicines and doctors’
prescriptions.
These figures tend 4o confirm off
hand impression that the druggist is
rapidly evolving from an apothecary
into the proprietor of a department
store. Almost anything small
enough to be wrapped and carried
can be purchased of him. H’.s
choice of wares ranges from foun
tain pens to waffle irons and from
safety razors to free verse. At his
hospitable counter he serves not
only soda, but all the ingredients
for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
It has about reached the stage
where the motto of the average drug
store is, “If you don’t see what you
want, ask for it.” —Savannah Press.
THE CRY OF THE CHILDREN
(From Walton News)
By Mrs. Maude Allen Anderson,
Prin. A. & M. Preparatory
School, Monroe, Ga.
To you, Dear Parents, Teachers,
Friends,
We are yours to lead and bend,
Be sure you lead us right.
When on earth our ways are lent,
And to Heaven our souls are sent,
Remember it is you who to us bent
Our onward flight.
To you, from tiny hands we throw
Our lives, our hearts to you to show
The way to tread.
If ye break hope and faith divine,
If you should overlook our mind,
Then we shall perish here behind,
With living dead.
Of you our lives shall imitate,
In your own steps we cultivate.
Our future life its blessings make
As on thru life we go.
We trust as thru the years we grow,
Our life a blessing to others show,
And praise the one from us has gone
When our life on earth is done.
FORMER HOSCHTON GIRL
WINS SCHOLARSHIP
(From Walton News)
It is announced today that little
Miss Charlotte Stewart, daughter of
Mrs. Maude Anderson, formerly of
Hoschton, Ga., has won the 4-H
Club Scholarship over several other
clubs in the county, which enrolled
over 126 girls in all. Charlotte is
eleven years old, and the scholar
ship pays her expenses for one year
at the Vocational Trades College at
Monroe. Charlotte graduated with
honor from the A. and M. prepara
tory school last May, and expects to
enter the high school in September.
Besides being able to can fruit and
vegetables, Charlotte can sit at the
machine and make simple garments,
usually drafting her own patterns.
She is an active member of the
4-H Club, in Walton county. Avery
influential member of the Woman’s
remarked recently, “Char
lotte Stewart can cook a meal fit
for a King, can sew real well for
her age, composes verses, can sing,
dance and swim ns well as any one
her age, in fact, she is one of the
smartest and most intelligent chil
dren I ever saw.”
Mrs. Anderson is Prin. of the A.
and M. Prep. School, located near
the campus of the Vocational Gol
]cg'> She has made quite a line re
cord as teacher in this school, and
the school expects to enroll 150
students this year. Plans are now
under way to enlarge the building.
Mrs. Anderson is the eldest daugh
ter of Dr. L. C. Allen of, Hoschton.
It was and fact that the minister
was rather long-winded. During his
“Sixthly” a young wife in the con
gregation remembered that she had
left the gas on. She slipped a note
to her husband, who happened to
be an usher. Instead of reading it,
he thought it was for the minister.
So he went down the aisle and hand
ed it to him. The minister paused,
took the not*; with a smile, which
turned into a terriffic frown as he
read: “Please hurry home and shut
off the gas.”
—From Watchman-Examiner.
A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING
There is a newly organized and
fast growing “Pollyanna Club” in
Lees Summit, Mo. Any member
who mentions business depression in
1932 will be administered “a good
and swift kick.” It’s in the pledge,
as follows: “I hereby promise that
during the year 1932 I shall think
only in terms of returning prosperi
ty, and speak only of the same.
Should I knowingly or willingly
violate this solemn obligation, I
agree to allow any member in good
standing to give me a good, swift
kick.”

It is said there are 748 hairs on
every square inch of the average
scalp. This number, multiplied by
120 square inches—the surface of
the average head—gives U3 89,760
as the number of the hairs on your
head. If you don’t believe it, count
them yourself.

If the mainspring breaks, your
watch will stop because its motor
power is gone. Why mainsprings
break is a good deal of a mystery.
When scientists learn the fatigue
laws of steel the mystery may bo
solved. Atmospheric conditions seem
to have their effect. Watch repair
ers usually have an increased main
spring business after a severe thun
derstorm. At other times the spring
breaks without any apparent cause
whatever. Anew spring may break
within a week, .or it may run for
years. ,
The old doorbell will soon be an

RULES FOR SWIMMING
Representatives of the American
Red Cross have been giving swim
ming lessons throughout the South.
Classes are held and people are
taught not only to avoid drowning
themselves, but to save others who
are in danger of drowning.
The papers have been publishing
some simple rules. They are:
Never go swimming alone.
Never swim for any distance with-
out being accompanied by a boat.
Don’t dive into strange waters.
If in a boat, and it capsizes stick
to the boat; do not try to swim to
the shore.
Do not go into water within two
hours after feating.
Keep away, from usinjfc, inner
tubes or water wings to sustain you
while swimming.
The reason, of course, for the
last rule, says the Augusta Chroni
cle, is that one thinks he is getting
along splendidly swimming with the
support of an inflated inner tube
but *fcome day the inner tube will
slip away in deep water and there
is a probable drowning as a result.
—Savannah Press.
If the poor of Savannah get cold
during the coming winter it will not
be the fault of Mayor H. Hoynes
and the commission on unemploy
ment. They have begun already as
sembling a woodpile of generous
proportions to see that the home
fires are kept burning during the
cold period in homes that would
otherwise be without fires. The
mayor and his associates found last
mayor anu
winter that the greatest need of
those out of work next to food was
fuel.
If Franklin D. Roosevelt becomes
the President of the United States,
he will be the first Episcopalian
elected President in 52 years, though
there have been more members of
this denomination serving as Presi
dents than any other. Chester A.
Arthur, Republican, was the eighth
and last Episcopalian to fill the office
of Chief Executive. The others
were Washington, Madison, Monroe,
W. H. Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and
Pierce.
A Georgia boy, Arthur Ferguson,
of Bonaire, deserves great commen
dation for his efforts towards win
ning a college scholarship, and
shows that determination wins. He
hiked all the way from Bonaire to
Philadelphia to lay his scholastic
credentials before the committee
that had the awarding of the schol
arship given annually by the Ameri
can Legion, and won over his com
petitors.
Fish which contains few bones
may be converted into filets by
separating the flesh from the back
bone in long wide strips and then
removing any smaller bones. Soles
supply the best filets.
