A Thought
Be ye not as the horse, or as
the mule, which have no under
standing; whose mouth must be
held in with bit and bridle, lest
they come near unto thee.—Ps.
32:9.
Fully to understand a grand
and beautiful thought requires,
perhaps, as much time as to
conceive it.—Joubert.
GOVERNOR
WALKER
Georgia’s Chief Executive, Clif
ford Walker, has before him the
greatest opportunity of any gov
ernor in recent years. He as
sumes office at a time when fac
tional politics scarcely exist in the
state.
The death of Senator Watson
scattered the so-called Watson
clans. Tom Hardwick leaves
the state and his followers no
longer exist as a cohesive force.
Hoke Smith has been out of poli
tics for a long time and his forces
have scattered.
Clifford Walker’s road to suc
cess is easier than that of any
chief of executive in many years.
His opportunity for accomplishing
something worthwhile for the
state is, in our opinion, far great
er than was Hardwick’s or Dor
sey's or several others.
Not in many years has a govern
or entered office with so large a
portion of the people possessing
open minds, willing to help, anx
ious to see their governor “make
good.”
There is in Georgia today a
BIG JOB awaiting the hand of a
BIG MAN. It is up to Walker.
Neighboring states have outstrip
ped Georgia—industrially and
agriculturally. North Carolina
with her millions of spindles and
mile after mile of hard-surfaced
highways is one example. Flor
ida with her real estate develop
ment trucking and fruit culture
is another.
What will the verdict be two
years hence? it is emphatically
and distinctly up to Mr. Walker.
He begin&J|is term with the best
wishes anCassurance of unstinted
and wholehearted support of the
Times-Recorder.
As Georgia’s Governor he will
receive this love and support from
us that he and the office de
serve. He was not our candi
date but he is our governor, and
we pray that his administration
shall measure up to the hopes and
expectations of his most ardent
admirers.
THOMAS W.
HARDWICK
Representing the United States
government, as a prosecuting at
torney, Tom Hardwick will hold
his own with the best brains of
the land. Fortunately, we be
lieve, for both the state and Mr.
Hardwick, he is moving himself
from Georgia—and we hope—-
Georgia politics.
Few executives have demonstra
ted more fearlessness in the ad
ministration of the state’s affairs
than Mr. Hardwick. We believe
he did what the thought best for
the state, in most every act that
cime under his hand.
That he made mistakes, no one
denies. And yet, Tom Hard
wick’s most violent detractor us
ually admits that he is a man of
ability and courage.
We gave him our support when
we believed he deserved it—
when we believed that he was the
man best fitted for the office.
However, what Georgia most
needs today is a cessation of fac
tional politics; the disolving of all
parties and factions; and the ad
hesion and cohesion of every
group, all determined to sacrifice
all for the good of the state, for
the future of Georgia.

may wc, jjy ('jjy my full meas

m
| to a manly and fair reciprocity,
_ I 1 must, upon every occasion,
I give to My City a full measure
of loyalty through intelligent eo
r operation with others of similar
sentiments.
My City does not want my part
isanship, my offishness, my dissen
tion, my criticism nor my indif
ference. Rather My City expects
of me qualities of high citizen
ship, tolerant friendship, willing
co-operation, heart-giving sympa
thy and intelligent support.
I may economize or retrench
wherever I choose, but I must
not withhold my support from
My City’s greatest organization,
her Chamber of Commerce,
which exists only for the good
it does and functions in a field
of usefulness not covered by any
other agency, or by the national
state or city governments.
As 1 am a man, and conduct
a man’s business in a man’s
City, I consider myself privi
leged to co-operate with other
men in improving tho status and
affairs of My City. As my City’s
Chamber of Commerce is the
centralization of the best
thought of her best men, for the
general good, I willingly con
tinue my membership.
As a prideful man. the
thought of withholding support
from My City’s Chamber of
Commerce would be abhorrent,
as the stigma of being a parasite
upon my business neighbors, and
the shame of advertising myself
as willing to ride free upon
their public spirit would be more
than I could stand.
My Chamber of Commerce
membership gives My City
a square deal.
THE HEROES ARE
IN THE FURROWS.
Its’ a fight—a fight every
step of the way. There’s no x time
for grumbling and no sympathy
for the quitter. The fellow with
grit and backbone and determi
nation is never beat until the
last man is out. Says the Atlan
ta Journal:
The spirit that moved Geor
gians forward in the Wilderness
and in the Argonne is astir in
the fields at home today. 801 l
weevil, late spring, excessive
rainfall may cause some grumb
ling but they have also produced
another reaction.
“Plowing and poisoning are
the order of the day in the cot
ton fields,” says the Cuthbert
Leader, down near the Florida
line, appending for the sake of
a smile, the note. “To which
might be added sweating and
swearing.”
“This has been one time.”
says Walton News in north Cen
tral Georgia, “when our farm
ers in all reality have eaten no
idle bread. They have been in
the field early and late and in
consequence of their efforts the
crops are promising. We sincere- ,
ly congratulate our farmer
i friends for their most, phenomen
al showing in crop cultivation
and have but little doubt that
they are going to reap a very
gratifying harvest.”
The grumbler talks in public
places. The worker is in the
field. A reading of the weekly
press indicates that in Georgia
today there are a hundred work
ers to 6ne grumbler.
Unfavorable conditions have
stirred the fighting spirit of the
farmer, he is out to “lick” Na
ture’s unfriendly manifestatons
and to persuade her tender mer
cies into a bountiful harvest.
Here’s to him!
No man is licked until he ac
knowlegdes to himself that he
has “taken the count.” The Sum
ter County farmer has never
been licked yet, now has he?
EDITORIAL
COMMENT
A GOVERNOR AND HIS DOG
Governor Baxter, of Maine, who
ordered the flag put at half-mast
on the state house because his
dog was dead, unconsciously pro
voked much criticism of himself,
and, incidentally, started a con
troversy between dog lovers and
dog haters. For, strange as it
may seem to persons rationally
humane, the tw r o types do exist.
Senator Vest’s eulogy would not
appeal to some persons under any
circumstances.
The incident was creditable to
th- governor’s heart if not to his
head. While his act was highly
irregular, to The News, it appears
that the governor’s thought was
better than his deed, and, for this
reason, it would not blame him
much.—Dawson News.
SHORT OR SHORT-ER?
The girls bathing suits are said
to he modeled on shorter lines
this season which makes it im
possible for them to be used by
both men and women.—Thomas
ville Times-Enterprise.
HE COULD RUN. THO.
Atlanta wasts the next Democra
tic National convention. In the
event she secured it there would
be a scant chance to nominate
Willio D. Upshaw for the vice
presidency.—Brunswick News.
HENRY KEEPS ’EM GUESSING
Henry Ford’s secretary is credi
ted with having written to par
ties in Savannah that Mr. Ford
would seriouslv consider the dem
ocratic. nomination for the presi
dency. When Henry was in Val
dosta some time ago he begged
friends “not to think of it, alleg
ing that he already had a “big
job.”—Valdosta Times.

PRACTICALLY EXTINCT
If you’ve never found your work a trifle zcstless,
As you felt a little longing for the trail;
If you’ve never known a fever, that is restless
And a sense of growing moribund and stale;
If you haven’t ever thought you’d like to ramble,
Leaving everything behind that you have known;
Dropping all the safe-and-sane stuff for a gamble,
Risking everything and anything you own;
If you’ve always been entirely calm and steady
With the firmness of a lighthouse on a rock,
If the springtime hasn’t ever made you heady
If your pulses beat as certain as a clock;
If no silly roving madness ever thrills you,
If your sanity and prudence are your guides,
And no thought of breaking traces ever fills you,
If you’re just as safe to count on as the tides;
If you’ve planned your life with absolute acumen
And you’ve never deviated, not an inch;
A ou’re undoubtedly a useful man or woman
And to bet upon* your progress is a cinch!
If no wild and wooly notions ever harry you,
You can pride yourself on being cool of bead,
But they really ought to take you out and bury you,
For although you may not know it—you are dead
