Members of the American Bar association im mediately sought to have cancelled an invitat.on t > -aid Britisher to • speak before the bar association. Last week a member of the British parliament broadcast to the world tiint he had several thou sand cases of "gogod Scotch wis key” for shipment to America and guarantee a big stiff profit for those who entered the bootlegging deal with him. Still another Englishman in dulges in cautic remarks regard ing our foreign policies, etc. How soon they forget. Only a few 1 short months ago we were keeping the Hun out of their back yards; our treasury vacate were flung wide ;to them; they were receiving preference at the door of our food storage warehouses. The sooner the British states men realize, that hands are full at home, the the great unem ployment problem will be solved for Britain. Their laboring popula tion is starving, discontent is rife everywhere .and still they dabble in questions which are of no moment to them. We are capable of arranging our own affairs without the aid or ad vice of any now residing on ‘‘the tight ilttle isle.” LET HIM STAY IN GERMANY. Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, mas ter draft-dodger, very generously states that the SIOO,OOO in gold said to have been discovered on the roadside “some where” in Maryland a few days ago by a road laborer, is his gold, but that he will lay no claim to it. How generous. Probably he had forgotten that all he once owned is now the property of the Feder al government, and that the alien property custodian will look after Grover's property for him. In Germany he is said to he a popular hero. They are welcome to him. Tn the nostrils of every American the very name is a stinch. The Valdosta Times says: “Although most of our pacif ,cts durino’ the war were pro- Germ? n. it probable that very f°w of them now are nartisans of Grover Bergdoll. and it is likeb’ that most of them would glad never again to hoar his '’’shonore'l name mentioned.

Political gossip originating on what is said to be good authority has it that Colonel John W. Bern nett, of Waycross, is being urged to enter the race for governor “as a South Georgia candidate.” A Valdosta correspondent states: “A very quiet visit of Col. John W. Bennett, of Waycross, until recently United 'States district attorney for Southern Georgia, has started rumors of his probable candidacy for gov ernor next year. •Recently it has been appar ent, following the close of the legislature, that political ele ments had already determined, that Gov. Walker should I not get a second term without a fight. “This leads to the belief in political circles here that Col. Bennett’s friends think that this is the time for Soath Georgia to get a good hat thrown into the ring and South Georgia asked to rally around that good hat. r I a Gai ‘‘As the matter has contin ued to be discussed here it has developed that Gov. Walker failed to reappoint Col. Ben r net as a member of the board of trustees of the University of Georgia, which has not had a tendency to cement the ties be tween the two men. Co] Ben nett is reported to have opposed the Governor in the last race. It has also become known here that some of Governor Walker's closest personal friend in and around Valdosta urged the re appointment of Col. Bennett de spite the fact that he did not support the Governor.” Next year is supposed to be ‘‘an off year” politically, but indica tions now are that it will be de cidedly an ‘‘on year” for all concerned. The woods are full j of potential candidates for gov ernor. I EDITORIAL COMMENT ANY THING TO GET IT SETTLED. It is strictly up to the Geor gia legislature to settle this per plexing taxation problem. We hope it will be done quickly and that the people will then be able to settle down to stable operations in the security of a system that will prove more beneficial than has been the present plan. We ci • t if it will for long but we are willing to try it out. Anything to get it settled and al; w the expan sion and d- ■>lepnv :rt that to be eortigert c-n it.—Thomas ville Times-Enterprise. AT THE DANGER POINT The danger point cf the sea son from the standpoint of mos quito raising :s right here. It is the time of year they raise the most rapidly. It is the kind of weather that the mosquito likes. Just a little standing stagnant water will soon become a hatchery for mosquitoes. Do not think you can escape if there is no old well about you. Just one bot tle of water or one can of wa ter will raise enough to worry you through the remainder of the summer. : Again, we urge that you take a round of the premises once a week and see to it that no wa ter is standing. Take no chances. After vou get mosquitoes it is difficult for you to get rid of them.—Moultrie Observer. HIS STAFF SHALL COMFORT HIM. W« must confess that Gover nor Walker would have to make many grave errors in his admin istration to cover up his master stroke in appointing Judge F. T. Moon, of LaGrange. Editor Charlie Brown, of Cordele, and Editor Rush Barton, of T avonin ns colonels on his staff. MT IS STAFF SHAIT COMFORT KIM’ —LaGrange Reporter.

The South Georgia farmer ! who puts in a good big crop of I sweet potatoes and builds- a i curing house of sufficient cap acity to store his crop, can’t i “miss it” very far, and the bet ter chance is that he will make money. It costs very little to cultivate sweet potatoes, and an average yield of anywhere from 250 to 300 bushels to the acre is not am unreasonable crop. Properly cured and housed until February sweet potatoes bring around a dollar a crate (short bushel crates) in all the markets of the country as long as the supply lasts. But it is a mistake to plant sweet potatoes for market without making ample provision in advance of the harvesting time for curing and storing them.—Albany Her ald.

Keep a cat in the kichen. When you spill something kick ing the cat helps wonderfully. Cook with olive oil instead of lard. It makes the hair grow. Place an asbestos guard over your thumb and you can stick it in the gravy with cornfort. Don’t whistle in the kitchen. Whistling may make the saus age bark and come to you. Soda helps burns if they are on you. Nothing helps them if they are on the meat. Keep ants out of the sugar. Fill sugar container with salt. Then the ants wil] leave. Difference between lunch and luncheon is lunch may be food while luncheon may be a saiad - . , ft It is all right to eat break fast in pajamas, or bath robe, or what have you? Eat slowly, chewing food well. Fast eating sets a very bad example for the flies. Keep your elbows off the table. This is so comfortable you are liable to eat too much. When asking for the cream, “Please drive the cow up’this way” is considered bad eti quette. 81 *in Never sing at the table. Food is too) high to sing about. You chn’t get it for a song.

I ■ THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From the Times-Recorder. Au gust 31, 189.3.) Aftei the first of September, Miss Wiliie Rutherford will be found at the office of the Times- Recorder, and will be prepared to do all short hand and type writ , ing work that offers. Mr. Tom Felder is visiting his: tather’s family and his numerous . lat'.ves and in Americus prior to his leaving Georgia to ; n .ike his home in New York. Simon Cohen will soon remove. is stock of goods to the artesian ' corner in the room formerly oc- j tupied by Butler & Berry. The uptown offices of the S. ; A. £ M. railroad were moved yes-1 terday from the Windsor block to ; , the Wheatley corner, on newspaper ■ row. They will have the most elegant offices in the city. Today is opening day at the beautiful new store of Bailey & Campbell. The ladies are ire spectfully invited to call and see the elegant store furnishings and array or handsome goods. Messrs. Bailey & Campbell are receiving their friends this morning. Master Shelby Myrick leaves today to resume his studies in the R. E. Lee Institute at Thomaston, Ga. He will enter the senior class and will complete his collegiate course in June next. If you drink with a spoon in the cup wear a pair of goggles to keep it out of your eye.

THIRD CO-OP POULTRY SALE SCHEDULED SOON DAWSON, August 31—The third co-operative chicken sale at Daw son will be held sdon after the first of September. It is the intention of those in charge to make this the largest and most profitable of any sale that has yet been held. For this rea son everyone who intends bring ing chickens is urged to communi cate with R. D. Smith or H. A. Pet ty at once relative to the number they will have to offer for sale. If this is done it will be much easier to decide upon a definite date for the sale, and also to ar range to have marketing bureau experts here on the appointed date. Co-operative sales for chickens in the past have proven very popular, and also profitable to those who have disposed of fowls. This meth od of selling entirely eliminates a house to house canvass, and since the chickens are weighed and grad ed more money is realized than through any other way of putting them on the market. TO OPEN FREE CLINIC • FOR KIDS AT ALBANY ALBANY, Aug. 31—Albany’ free clinic for underprivileged chil dren, conceived and put into oper ation by the Albany Kiwanis club, is to be formally opened* here today. Physicians and dentist in the city have agrgeed to give their services free of charge at the clinic, which will be free to chil dren whose parents are unable to pay for their treatment. The Ki wanis club will furnish a fund to supply medicines and other clinic necessities.
