RE-SEED IS IT.

Oh, no. What south Georgia should
do Is to “re-seed.” As her crops and
population grow, so will her political
influence. The time will come when
she w'ii be running things in Geor-1
gia, merely because she will have a
far greater population than north
Georgia.—Savannah Morning News.
NOTES ON SITUATION.
The question of prohibition is being
forced into the gubernatorial cam
paign now under way in Georgia. It
has no place in view of the stringent
law which becomes effective May Ist.
The only matter is the enforcement of
the law, for we have the statute which
has been sought for the past several
years in Georgia.
The matter of certain prominent
Georgians and their notable connec
tion with the cause of prohibition has
caused much concern in Georgia—
among real genuine prohhibitionists.
There's T. R. Felder, for instance. He
is a legal luminary shining gayly in
tte forefront of the struggle, but the
people of Georgia are not quick to
follow him.
And here we might note that Felder
is not over-loved by some of the people
he is working with. There is no special
friction, but it is certainly known that
good, reliable and conservative pro
hibitionist in Georgia have told Eich
elberger, Witham, etc., ad infinitum,
that T. B. Felder did not lend enchant
ment to the cause so far as they were
concerned.
If we may be allowed, marie this
note. A split is coming between Feld
er and the people who are now mak
ing bed with him. The old time Felder
cannot be forgotten by some of the
people in the present day.
It is to be regretted that prohibition
will be injected as an issue. Georgia
has prohibition—or will have it on
May Ist, and Georgia will keep it.
Georgia will enforce this law, all other
statements and beliefs to the con
trary .
But there are many Georgians who
do not want to contaminate teh cause
of prohibition by associating it with
some of the individuals who are now
its spokesmen. The cause need have
no fear of reaction, but some of the
people connected with it might recon
cile the handwriting on the wall.
•
Georgia is now smouldering under a
political fire which will break forth af
ter May 3rd, which is the date set
for the state convention in Macon. At
that time the general field forces will
have been planned, and a bottle royal
is expected to ensue.
Many Georgians do not think that the
gumernatorfial race will remain as it
is—with Harris and Hardman. Dorsey
h a foregone conclusion, says the poli
ticians. Anyway, there’ll be a few
more.
NIT! SAYS LEAVY.
By throwing a mantle of prejudice
around him Dorsey hopes to pussyfoot
into the gubernatorial chair. Nit!—
Americus Times-Recorder.
Decidedly nit! Dorsey will never be
governor of Georgia—he is not built
of gubernatorial timber and his un
gainly role of the present ought to de
feat him for the job he now holds.--
Brunswick News.
HADN’T THOUGHT OF IT.
The surest way for a fool to escape
identification is for him to remain
silent.—Griffin News and Sun.
He wouldn't be a fool then. It’s a
v Ise man that keeps a still tongue.—
Americus Times-Recorder.
Me hadn’t‘thought of it in that light.
Griffin News.
The Laurens Citizen pertinently, or
impertitently, remarks: When it
comes to helping a community enforce
its laws, about all the effort of some
of its citizens exercise is like that of
the lazy man who being too lazy to get
down and say his prayers wrote them
on a slip of paper which he pinned to
his led, pointing to them nightly and
saying, “Ixird, them’s my sentiments.’

THE OTHER MAN’S VIEWPOINT.
No man is big enough to have a mon- ;
opoly of the world's ideas. This old
ball we call a world is a pretty big
thing, and there are things on it ga
lore. It is, therefore, inevitable that
many of our views should go contrary
tG those of the other fellow, and it is
ji.st as probable that the other fellow
is on the right track as you. The fact
that you think or believe a certain way
is not a guarantee that you are right.
To think so is rank egotism.
We can all learn from each other. In
some things children are our greatest
teachers. Even birds and animals can
and do teach us lessons, that is, if we
are not too set in our opinions to let
them. You will recall what the Good
Book tsys: “Consider the lllly,” “go
to the ant, ’ “a little child shall lead
them.’’ Here is an injunction that by
inference men are advised to study na
ture, and through nature acquire wis
dom. If this be true then how much J
more abut dant is the reason for study-1
ing our fclow man that we may learn (
and acquire wisdom through him.
In every man there are hereditary!
influences, io which if added his en '
vironmet is. c.perience, education and
Objectives, you have a formidable ar
ray of influences that go to make up
his vlewpiint. His ideal may be di
rectly f pposed to yours, and more than i
this he may be your rival in some busi-,
ness enterprise. There may be occa- ;
slon for friction, but it should never,
be the occasion for the disregarding of
his viewpoint. Neither is it wise to ■
disregard his opinions, for in and
through them might be found the
“means for successfully combatting him!
in whatever you may be trying to at
tain. The thing to do is to be sure
you have the right ideal, and see that
it get® recognized, but not by trying
to discredit the other man's viewpoint.
Win your point by getting men to see
that your viewpoint is best, but never
by knocking the ideals of the other
fellow. You must show and .prove
your plans if you want folks to advo
cate and accept them.
THANKS, OLD SPORT.

cus, has half a column editorial on
