him.—‘Fuller.
UNITY OF INTEREST
IS BANKER’S PLEA.
George E. Roberts, vice presi
dent of the City Nationa Bank
of New York, r. a recent address
at the lowa State College of
Agriculture! made a strong plea
for unity of social interests. Mr.
Roberts emphasized the fact that
no matter in what line of pro
duction, we have relation to oth
er people and our products) to
other products which must be
recognized if we profit as we
ihould.
In the course of, his speech
Mr. Roberts pointed out a weak
ness of our “highly specialized
society” which is worth the
while of every one carefully to
consider. He said: “I think most
of our troubles are due to the
fact that we have developed in
dustrial organization beyond the
understanding of the ordinary
man, he doesn’t know his own
part in it; he doesn’t realize the
benefit that he gets from it; and
you can’t expect men to be loy
al to something they do not
understand.” Mr. Roberts might
have added that too little effort
is being made to help men to
understand their part of benefits
received to insure loyalty. The
only example of such effort at
the present time is that being
made by the Pennsylvania rail
load.
It’s all poppycock to argue
that the laboring man through
unionism has divorced himself
from all agencies can broaden
his vision. Such a plean is a
needless confession of Weakness
of organization. The fact re
mains that if the proper effort
had been made to broaden his
vision, the laboring man would
not have divorced himself—he
would realize more fully than he
does today that his welfare is de
termined by the good of all. It’s
easy enough to blame something
on the other fe'low. It’s a good
deal larder to admit our own
mistakes, but it is better to ad
mit them and try to correct
them than to let them go uncor
rected.
JUMBLED POLITICS
PROSPECTS FOR 1924.
Political campaign managers,
particularly those of the two
major parties, appear to be in
for a bad year. There is trou
ble a-plenty brewing on the poli
tical horizon, but the main dif
ficulty is that party leaders are
not in accord which cyclone eel
ar offers the greatest safety; un
til the storm blows over. And if
party leaders cannot agree what’s
a poor campaign manager going
to do?
The next presidential election
is a little better than a year
away. By this time in 1924 we
shall know who the nominees
are, and the nature of the plat
forms on which they are run
ning. Yet today, a scant year
away, from this epochal event,
the matter of campaign issues
and candidates is a jumbled
messi if we may expect the hea
sonably certain assumption that
President Jlarding will be re
nominated by the Republicans.
Os . issues we have many, and
yet we have none. Politicians
have been trying to make them
for us the last two years, ap
parently forgetful of the fact
that the people have formed the
habit of making their own. We
hear ;much about the League of
Nations, and International
courts, and the railroad problem,
and reduced taxation, a!! of
which Mr. Harding is right now'
attempting to explain away on
his western tour. The “wet” and
“dry” issue has not yet been de
cided, by Americans, no matter
what polticians may say, and
there; are many indications that
it wiil be the paramount topic
jjtp ndxt year’s campaign.
Viuch an issue would be poi
s,T~i“r>o the Democrats. iWith
Smith and Bryan at odds the
party would be split wide open,
for Nebraska Bill will never re
cede from his stand on prohibi
tion, and no matter how politi
cians may pooh-pooh him, Bryan
still wields an enormous power in
the ranks of the Democrats. The
Republicans, it might be imag
ined, committed to a regime of
law and order, therefore lined
up on the “dry” side of the fence
would be sitting easy. But such
is not the case. The O. P.
does not have to worry over the
liquor question, but it has trou
bles of its own in the split be
tween Harding and the irrecon
yjilables oWer the in-nernational
court of justice, and then there
is always the third party specter,
so fatal in 1912, with men like
LaFollette, Borah, Johnson and
others calling themselves Repub
licans and burdening themselves
with the job of political reforma
tion. And over all is the shadow
of Henry Ford and his huge for
tune, who has given every indica
tion of political aspirations, and
whose entry into the presidential
ring would make the mess worse
■than ever. All in all. it promises
to be a busy exciting year for
politicians, mien here in Georgia
and we common people may get
a lot <rf fun out of the muddle.
“AUNT MARTHAS
CORNER CUPBOARD.’
Aunt Martha used to go to her
corner cupboard and produce
articles of the common, or gar
den variety that folks never
thought about because they were
so matter-of-fact. When she
told the simple story of these
articles, they took on a marvel
ous interest and new importance.
Every day this newspaper
publishes new editions of good
“Aunt Martha’s Corner Cup
board.” These are the advertise
ments. Each advertisement has
an interestting story to tell. It
gives you information about
something that will make you
or save you money. They help
the golden stairs,
you save steps.
Even the smallest of the ad
vertisements say a whole lot.
EDITORIAL
COMMENT.
NEWSWRITERS TAKE NOTICE!
The Jackonville Times-Union
points out a little error which is
frequently made by the best of
our newswriters. That paper
says:
At, although one of the small
est of words, is very frequently
misused, speakers and writers
saying “at" when they mean “in”
as “at” Jacksonville when “in”
Jacksonville should be said or
written. A man may swim “in”
the river but not “at” the river
which is alonside or in the vicin
ity.
MISSOURI SHOWS ’EM HOW.
While other states are consid
ering loosening on our prohibi
tion laws, here comes Missouri
tightening the lid, which is re
freshing. The Albany Herald
makes this interesting comment:
The prohibition law recently
enacted by the Missouri legisla
ture appears to be the most dras
tic prohibition law yet enacted
by any state. It goes so far as to
provide terms in the penitentiary
for officers that fall short of
their duty in the enforcement of
The law. Missouri sheriffs will
have to be alert to keep out of'
trouble.
PECANS THE MONEY CROP.
Edi\or Brown in his Cordele
Dispatch gives this, valuable tip
to the tanner which is well worth
considering:
Whiltl you are figuring the
farm • (program for the future
you ought to investigate pecans.
That’s a] crop that adds money.
An acretof Georgia Pecans is
worth miyc than an acre of Flor
ida orang 's. That’s she open secret
of ibusine is men all over Georgia
and Ftori la. Put in some pecans
and realii e on them in good
time. The i will pay in the days
when you meed them.
CHANGE THIS CONDITION
The Tlfton Gazette recently
’/rinted) she following editorial
note: V
“It is estimated that three
thousand dollars a week is being
paid out ifor feed stuff that is
hauled oujt of Tift county farms.
That is over twelve dollars a
month, oil $156,000 a year. A
pretty go«>d cotton crop within
itself. Al| this feed could have
been raised. in this county much
cheaper thijn the crop which
must be sqfld to pay for it could

OLD DAYS Il\ AMERICUS |
TEN YEARS AGO TODAY
(From the Times-Recorder. Jure
30, 1913.)
Mr. John Wheatley was the re
cipient Monday of many sincere
congratulations upon the part of
his friends, the occasion being the
observance of his eightieth birth
day anniversary, and while quietly
passed in the home circle it was
rendered memorable as marking
the eightieth milestone in the long
and honorable career of this es
teemed and beloved citizen, who
for more than sixty years has made
his home in Americus.
As the store of the popular mer
chant, Mr. Charles Ansley will be
celebrated today the twenty-third
anniversary of the founding of the
store. Twenty-three years ago the
business was established under the
firm name of Wheatley and Ans
ley, having been established in
1890.
Announcement is made of the
fact that Mr. Gordon Howell has
kindly consented to assist in the
hospital benefit at the Opera
House tonight with several vocal
selections.
Though mention has been made
of it prior to this time, the many
friendj) of Mr. Leonard C. Parker
will be pleased to know that the
honors received by him recently at
his graduation at the Georgia Mili
tary Academy were the highest
given by that school.
Mr. and Mrs. M. N. Dudley and
Mr. and Mrs. Will Dudley will leave
Tuesday for Monteagle, Tenn., for
a stay of some length.

“Don’t worry,” says the Optimist;
“If you should lost your hard-earned pelf,
Keep up your head, t’row out yer ehist,”

“Laugh at you your woes —and never groan,
Be brave,” they counsel us, but when
They strike some troubles of their own,
Well, that is Something Else Again!
Although', your courage may be strong,
You cannot always sport a smile;
Sometimes when things are going wrong
It does you good to grouch awhile.
The other fellow’s ills, in truth,
You bid hint bear; but now and then
When YOU have got an aching tooth-,
Well, that is Something Else Again!
“Don’t worry,” says the Optimist,
And thats an easy thing to say,
But when bad fortun/.es will persist
You wonder How They Get That Way;
“Don’t whine! Don’t grumble, moan or screech!”
Is cheerful dope for bards to pen,
But do they practice what they preach.?
Weil, that is Something Else Again.
