Tire prices may never
be so Low again!
Goodyear certainly
makes it worth while
for you to put money in
tires now. Your dollars
never bought tires to equal
the quality, the safety,
the mileage which
Goodyear is today build
ing in every tire wearing
the Goodyear name--
And because Goodyear
now concentrates on two
main lines of tires —a real
saving in costs is passed
on to you.
Look at the present prices
of the world s mosc popu
lar tire, the Goodyear All-
Weather —and the prices
of the thrifty Goodyear
Pathfinder —and you 11
certainly agree, it’s smart
to buy Goodyears NOW- —
while prices are still down
close to bottom, and your
money buys more than it
may ever buy again.

Timrly Suggestion*
Gardens —'live your Irish potatoes
a good working: out, and throw soil
well up around the vines, but be
careful not to plow close and deep
enough to damage the roots. Keep
the Coloralo Potato Beetles killed,
so your Irish potatoes will have an
opportunity to produce a good crop.
Use calcium arsenate, and dust plants
when they are dry, and put only a
light application. Usually two or
three applications at intervals of a*
bout five days will control potato
beetles.
Plant more snap beans, both bush
an/1 pole varieties. Butter or lima
beans, both bush and pole varieties.
Squash, corn, okra, beets, tomatoe
plant*, popper, egg plant.
Sweet Potatoes: Last year there
were more sweet potatoes grown in
Jackson county than has been before
in a number of years, but even with
the quanity grown, but few farmers
have any sweet potatoes now from
last year's crop, and many have been
without sweet potatoes since the first
of this year. Then some farmers did
not plant any sweet potatoes. I wish
to urge all farmers to plant a suffi
cient acreage in sweet potatoes this
year to furnish all families on the
farm, and some surplus for feed or
sale. Sweet potato plants may be
bought at very reasonable prices, if
you have not grown your own plants.
There is no food and feed crop that
you may produce on the farm at as
little an expense as sweet potatoes
that will be worth more. Continue
to keep the sweet potato plant bed
watered, and produce more plants,
and put out an additional patch, and
it will pay you for use as food, feed,
or sale.

DOGS AND MEN
My dad and I, long years ago, were
walking down the street, when sud
denly a little dog came yelping a
round our feet. He snapped and
snarled so viciously, that measly lit
tle pup, it looked to me as though he
thought that he could eat us up. I
turned and threw some stones at
him, which always missed the mark,
and when I’d try to drive him off, the
It’s very old and simple trick these
“Now, son,’’ my father said to me,
“just go along your way and pay no
heed to yelping dogs; remember what
I say. You’ll notice if you let him
be, and only hold your peace, the
little feist will soon grow tired and
all his bluffing cease; but every time
you stamp your foot and shout to
him, “Begone,’ you show that he’s
annoying you, and he will bark right
on. It takes a dog to fight a dog—
just post that o’er your shelf. When
canines come and snarl at you, don’t
be a deg yourself. And later, when
you’ve grown to man, and petty men
don’t stop to pick up stones
to throw, don’t try to answer back.
Just walk right on and pay no heed
to anything they say, and very soon
they’ll give it up and go another
way.”
it’s very old an simple trick these
petty minds employ—they say the
gods will first enrage the man they
would destroy. And little dogs and
little men, who snarl behind your
back, will only snarl the louder if
you answer their attack. And they'll
have done the very thing they start
ed out to do, if, being yellow dogs
themselves, they make one out of
you.— Reprint by courtesy of Carl
Gorr’s “Ink Spot,” in Hightways of
Happiness.
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

BRIEF NEWS ITEMS
Ordinary Karp* Post Though Ballot
Loser
Fitzgerald, Ga.—J. Rufus Horton
retained the office of Ben Hill county
ordinary today through a court ruling
against the incumbent's contestant,
Paul J. Kelly, ordinary-elect.
Horton was defeated in last fall’s
election after serving 18 years but
he refused to vacate the office on
the grounds that Kelly had failed to
pay his taxes ior several years and
was not qualified to hold office for
that reason.
Judge A. J. McDonald ruled coun
ty documents failed to show any
record that Kelly had paid his taxes
for the years Horton specified. The
jurist withdrew the case from the
jury and rendered his decision from
the bench, holding that the burden
of proof was on Kelly to refute Hor
ton’s allegations.

Sailor Under Dewey Ha* Just Got
Home From Manila Battle
Philadelphia.—Frederick Vernieux
has just arrived home from the Bat
tle of Munila.
If he hadn’t been in such a hurry
he would have gotten home sooner.
Thirty-five years ago Vernieux
was a leadsman abroad the U. S. S.
Boston, taking soundings during the
historic naval engagement. After
the battle he wanted to see his ad
miral's grand reception in New York.
If he waited to come home with the
fleet he would miss out, so he got
his discharge and set out for the
United States by way of the Indian
Ocean.
Vernieux was side-tracked in In
dia. Calcutta fascinated him and
there he stayed, becoming chief of
ficer in the harbor service. He mar
ried and his wife has since died and
his children scattered throughout the
world.
New York was a shock to him when
he returned. He remembered horse
cars and other relics many of the
city’s residents today never saw. He
is 62 now.
“I guess I’ll stay here now,” he
said. “Many of my old shipmates
are in Philadelphia and it’s good to
talk over old times.”

The department said these officers

ODE TO A NAG
Oh, horse, you are a wonderous
thing, ho horns to honk, no bells to
ring, no license buying every year
with plates to stick on front and
rear. No sparks to miss, no gears to
slip. No gas bills mounting every
day to steal the joy of life away.
Your inner tubes are all OK, and
thank the Lord they stay that way.
Your spark plugs never miss and
fuss, your motor never makes us
cuss. Your frame is good for many
a mile, your body never changes
style. Your wants are few and easy
met, you have something on the auto
yet.—Arkansas Highways.

BEER IN SOUTH CAROLINA,
PEOPLE AWAIT PROSPERITY
(Editorial, Anderson Independent)
South Carolina yesterday legalized
the unrestricted sale of beer. If it
is to be sold at all in this state, we
are glad that the sale will be without
any restrictions whatsoever. A
beverage that so many people think
they want should not be hampered
by regulations, particularly if it is
vested with the benefits its advocates
present.
If beer could have been kept out
of the state, it would have been a
wise step for the General Assembly
to have outlawed it. With this
beverage popularized as our national
drink, and adjoining states making its
sale legal, it would have been im
ported by bootleggers in large quan
tities. Perhaps its legalization will
promote temperance. A few months
after beer is available at every
corner store and filling station.
South Carolinians will lose their en
thusiasm over it. We seldom enjoy
with the zest we hope for, those
things that we imagine we should
have and spend our days longing for.
Actual possession often fails to de
light with the same degree of our
anticipation.
The time will not be long until
South Carolina will not care a whit
about beer. After the large revenue
we expect fails to materialize, and
many people who were laughinjp
ly clamoring for it find that it will
contribute nothing to the health, hap
piness or prosperity of those who
drink it, its popularity will wane.
Particularly if it brings suffering and
distress to the working people, and
intoxication to our automobile driv
ers.
Unfortunately, beer has come back
to the Palmetto state, but prosperi
ty has not arrived. Those boon
companions do not seem to be travel
ing to gether.
We hope the proponents of beer
will continue their same relentless
efforts to bring about a restoration
of economic conditions, that they
have evidenced in the fight to quench
their thirst.
WHY COTTON IS KING
(By Cotton Textile Institute)
Seventeen per cent of the total
workers in the United States are em
ployed in the cotton textile industry.
Thirteen per cent of the total
wages paid to workers in the United
States is paid to those employed in
the cotton textile industry.
These percentages are larger than
those of any other one industry.
Twenty-seven per cent of the total
farm population of the United States
is dependent upon cotton for its sub
sistence.
$6,000,000,000 is the estimated re
tail value of all cotton goods sold in
this country in one year, or 12 per
cent of the total retail sales.
Raw cotton is the largest item of
export of this country. It is, for
instance, 280 per cent greater in
value than the export of automo
biles.
$2,000,300,000 is paid in salaries
and wages to members of the cotton
textile industry and subsidiary in
dustries annually.
Seven hundred square miles of
land is employed to raise the annual
cotton crop. This is equal to the
combined areas of France, Spain,
Germany and Italy.
The garment industry alone pays
out $284,500,000 in wages annually.
The cotton small wares industry
alone pays out $19,464,000 in wages
annually.
The men’s shirt industry alone
pays out $51,000,000,000 in wages
annually.
The cotton mills of the country
pay out $365,309,000 in wages an
nually.
HUSBAND, HOUSEHOLD
HEAD, OWNS LIQUOR
IN HOME, COURT SAYS
The husband is the head of the
house and the owner of all house
hold goods, including intoxicating
liquors, the Georgia Court of Appeals
ruled Friday.
V/. H. Barron, Sr., a Dublin mer
chant, sought to escape liability for
twenty-one gallons of liquor and 5,-
000 pint bottles found in a tenant
house near his store on the grounds
that the house did not belong to him.
Deeds were produced in the Dublin
City Court indicating that the house
was the property of Mrs. Barron and
the jury found Barron guilty of a
misdemeanor.
“The legal presumption is that a
house and its effects, including any
intoxicating liquors, belong to the
husband as the head of the family,
the Court of Appeals pointed out in
affirming the conviction.
