A THOUGHT |
Fathers, provoke not your chil
dren to anger, lest they be dis
couraged.—Col. 3:21.
Correction does much, but en
couragement does more. Encour
agement after censure is as t.lu'
sun after a shower.—Goethe.
Can It Be True?
The seeming slight or snubbing
of a United States Senator by Geor
gia’s chief executive is almost be
yong the comprehension of Geor
gians.
Senator Underwood, oi Alabama,
had been invited to address a joint
session of the Legislature. He was
then as Georgia’s guest. As Gov
ernor of the State Cliff Walker
should have shown him, every cour
tesy due a senator from our, sis
ter state of Alabama.
It is true that a few days be-1
fore Senator Underwood had paid j
his respects to the Ku Klux Klan in
no uncertain terms. It is also true
that Walker has beep charged with
being a member of the klan; with
being the klan’s candidate.
Governor Walker, so far as we
have been able to learn, has never
denied his friendship for the klan,
nor that he is a member of the
klan.
When the imperial officers of
the klan held a closed door session
at an Atlanta hotel, Walker, along
with other politicians, was pres
ent.
Is Georgia drifting toward klan
control? Is Georgia already under
the political control of the klan?
To men who are watching events,
it seems that Georgia is no longer
free from this dominance that
wrecked 01 lahomu.
The evidence seems plain that
Georgia IS or very soon will be
under the dominance of the Invis
ible Empire, its laws and satutes
subject to mask interpretation and
mask enforcement.
It is high time Georgians were
waking to this condition and of ex
pressing their opinions in no uncer
tain terms.
It is Governor Walker’s duty
and privilege to deny having inten
tionally slighted or snubed Senator
Underwood. It will never do for
this charge to be broadcast over
the nation, the accusation that
Georgia’s chief executive inten
tionally offered a discourtesy to
Alabama’s senator.
Worthwhile Education
Air educator of state-wide repu
tation, fully qualified to speait,
visited recently the A and M school
here at Americus. After ’investi
gating the courses of study and
■syrat Principal Prance seeks to ac
cwiplish there, he said:
?3f a boy or a girl comes here
anti never opens a book, he or she I
wijl leave, more than repaid for his
time and expense."
•John Prance is doing Practical
, work out at the A and M. school,
The pupil there is taught how to
succeed in life, how to do things
that will earn a competent living,
fitting them for the oldest and
noblest profession of life—that of
producing foodstuffs.
We are saying a great deal these
days about diversification on the
farm. However, marketing and
standardization of farm products is
• ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY be
fore success can be had from diver
sification.
An egg must weight just so much,
it must be infertile and it must
meet other requirements before it
is marketable at top prices.
Potatoes must be just so large
and, just so "heavy and so on, be
fore it can find a market at lop
prices.
That is true will all foodstuffs
and John Prance is teaching his pu
pils those vital fundamentals , for
success. This week a class of girls
has been studying" standardization
of eggs; class of boys has been
learning to pack sweet potatoes.
That is work really worthwhile.
The boy or girl who applies him
self, will leave the A. and M. school
with a profess .noiaitdnhwa
with a profession, and with a little
grit, love of work and determina
tion, he’ll make a success of life.
Better Pay
;i. , Opportunity is not found, it is
made. Take the case of Preston
E, Phillips of May City, Mich.
• ■ Near his home was a gully. Boys
hired to distribute samples and
circulars used to* short-cut their
labors by dumping their wares in
the ravine.
Phillips was looking for an op
portunity.
He found it—ijn the ravine.
It occurred to him that business
concerns would be willing to pay
a good'price to have their adve; tis
ing matter and samples distributed
honestly, thoroughly, reliably,
That was 20 years ago. Today
Phillips has a good business, He has
walked 135,000 miles, handing out
! to the housewife everything from
pink pills to yeast cakes«and break
fast foods.
I Phillips is not a millionaire. ;
There’s- no reason why he should
want to be. But he did ucceed in i
his goal of making a good living j
and being bis own boss
“I get as much out of life as any.
man in town,” he claims. Dozens
of times a day he is invited, to sit
on the porch and rest, have a cup
cf coffee, a glass of watei, and so
on. Trifles? Well, they're pleaskig
to every one—the sort of things
happiness is made from.
The main point is that Phillips
created his opportunity—for he
was one of the very first to get the
idea of becoming a community
sample-distributor. The larger
cities now have big organizations
that do the same.
Opportunity is created—usually.
It is found—rarely. ,
■ OPINIONS OF
OTHER EDITORS
NEWS FOR SOME
It is against the law for a
child under fourteen years of age
to drive a car in this state. “But
any age is dangerous in mortor
ing as long as the driver of a
car discards other people's
rights, and -tries to see how fast
his car will run.”—Tifton Ga
zette. .
TECH AND GEORGIA
It makes no difference from
what source it comes the effort
to put Georgia Tech and the
University of Georgia back on
an even pulling basis in athletic
contests is a worthy one. There
is no more important lesson in
all young manhood than to be
made a good loser and a sensi
ble winner. If athletics can grot
teach these principles, then we
do not understand all we know
about athletics. The keener th--
rivalry, the greater the oppor
tunity to teach these fine lessons
—Cordele Dispatch.
THE EXTRA SESSION
The extra session of the legis
lature is a pluperfect farce. Gov
ernor Walker had to take sev
eral bits at the apple before he
got it started going and now it
looks like it is rotten, so far as
any good to the people is con
cern,edfl Cliff has to issue sev
eral proclamations, on account
of ’‘typographical” errors, as
well as other kinds, and it is
doubtful whether that body is
legally in session. If any tax
measure is enacted, it is proba
ble the courts will declare it il
legal because of the bungling of
the executive department.
The extra session has cost the
tax payers a lot of, money and it
will prove of no avail.—Meri
wether Vindicator.
WILL TAKE TIME
Mr. W. T. Anderson, who has
been appointed a member of the
State Highway Commission,
writes an illuminating article
which he terms 'A kind of Salu
atory,” in the Macon Telegraph.
Mr. Anderson says that on Oc
tober 1, 1923 there went into
effect a gasoline tax of 2 cents
per gallon. One cent of this goes
to pay oft the Western & Atlan
tic rentals hypothecated until
1926. Another cent goes to the
counties of the .Itate for build
ing Toads, and is prorated upon
their mileage in the State high
way system. The other cent of
the gas tax goes to the Highway
Department for constructing
roads.
Mr. Anderson complains that
under the law with 6,000 miles in
the system and a cost cf about
$6,000 per mile for const ructi, i
of dirt roads, the State i . far
from getting the neves ;ary
amount of money. There is now
about S4OO a mile available un
der the most favo-able condi
tions. It will take about ten
years with federa: aid under the
present schedule to get good
roads in this, state. Things ought
to be " i pretty good shape, as
far as dirt roads go provided the
counties are willing to do their
part.
But Mr. Anderson contends
we should not be too impatient
about this road building matter.
Our people a few years ago de
cided they would build 6,060
miles of road, so they provided
$4,000,000. and it is not fair to
hold up the Highway Depart
ment and ask, “Where are the
roads we told you to build?” It
is appalling what little construc
tion is to be done in the ••->-eat
system of 6,000 miles with' the
$4,000,000 at the disposal of
the commission. “And they are
all dirt roads, at that, and the
dirt will have to be put back in
the road every time it rains. But
6,000 miles is a heap of roads—
and it takes time and money to
build them—and they must he
built according to law.”
It is evident that if the State
is not of a mind to vote a big
bond issue it must wait for time
to work out this problem.—Sav
annah Press.

THE DIFFERENCE
Bill plays pool with a skill tincanny
Learned by practicing year on year, $■
No break of the game can get his nanny,
His hand is steady, his. brain is .clear.
He plans and studies his mode o{. playing
With concentration on every shot,
He's always figuring, doping, Weighing
Which chance is proper, and which is not.
Yet pool is merely Bill’s recreation,
A game he plays when th e work hours end;
And office job is his real vocation,
On that his room and his board depend.
Since that is the task by which he’s living
You’d think he’s tend to it, as a rule,
And give it at least the thought he’s giving
To educating himself in pool.
But no—Bill dawdles and shirks and fuddles,
He views his job with a listless eye.
He loafs and stalls and he fakes.and muddles
And merely figures on “getting by”;
Yet still he growls at his poor position,
His “rotten boss” and his measley pay,”
Applied to work that h e gives to play!

When Governor Walker Was
Host,To Senator Underwood
Editorial From Columbus Enquirer-
Sun.
The Enquirer-Sun is of the belief
that Governor Walker did attempt
to snub Senator Underwood; that is,
Walker went through the motions
of snubbery, but naturally a man
of the type of .the present ehiaf ex
ecutive of Georgia could not possi
bly snub a man of the genuine
ability and bigness of Oscar W.
Underwood. The truth is that Gov
ernor Walker has sold his birth
right for a mask and hood. Sena
tor Underwood had given the klan
a thorough flaying in Texas—so
courageously did he uncover the
menace of this un-American ,masl«-
I er order, that v.. .d was sent out.
I “Get Underwood!”
I Now, we ask, even at the risk or
seeming to defend the loutishness
"f Governor Walker, what, could a
'■Hausman governor do? Governor
Walker owes his election to the
t Klan, and he wants above al! el -j,
jto be re-elected. Ke thinks the
i Klan can bring about his re-elec-:
■ tion, and he lias delivered himself
! into the power of the Ku Klux.
I Governor Walker has seen what the
I Klan can do, and he is, not of the I
kid,ley. to enter into an open fight
with it. He sees the klan gradual
ly taking over the legislative branch
,of the state government—initia
: tion ceremonials in the state cgpi
j tol. He has answered the Imper
ial Wizard's call to conference,
j ‘Not as a Klansman but simply as
; governor.” as he was quoted by
■ The Atlanta Constitution; and at
' the conference he found the chief
I justice of the state supreme court,
the judge of a superior court and
the commissioner of agriculture.
Suddenly this poor little governor
■laced a dilemma—United States
Senator Oscar W. Underwood, who
had denounced the Klan in its
Texas, stronghold, was to be the
guest of the state of Geoigia. The
issue was clear-cut—courtesy to
the senator and a loss of Klan sup
port; discourtesy to Underwood and
Klein approval. Governor Walker
did not hesitate—he insulted Sena
tor Underwood.
Perhaps, just now it is appro
priate to relate another incident in
which Gov. Walker “made good”
to the Klan, but that brought him
one of the warmest messages a
governor ever received. Reference
is had to the inside story of why
“Uncle Jim” Williams, editor of
the Greensboro Journal-Herald, is
not the State Game Warden. Edi
tor Williams, in view of his work in
obtaining the election of Walker
had been promised that position by
the governor. Shortly before the
time when the job was to be pass
ed out by Walker, Editor Williams
was approached by a “mutual
friend.” and told “there might be
some little hitch about the appoint
ment.”
Editor Williams said he saw no
reason for a hitch—he had de
livered the goods, and Walker had
promised him the job, and that was
all there was to it. Then the ‘mu
tual friend” insisted that there
would be a hitch, but that it could
be easily overcome. Editor Wil
liams asked what the hitch was, and
how it could be overcome. Where
upon the “mutual friend” handed
■he editor an application for mem
bership in the Ku Klux Klan. ‘Til
■■ee both Cliff and you in hell
first,” is the reply credited to Edi
tor Williams.
If the Enquirer-Sun has not re
lated the State Game Warden ir
• ident correctly, we hope that Edi
tor Williams will let us hear jus*
.vhat did happen. One thing is cer
ain—he was promised the job, anti
lie did not get it. And the inan
‘ who was given the jo battended the
diet meeting a few days ago in
company with other state officials
who went at the call of their su
perior officers in the Invisible Gov
ernment the Super-Government
of Georgia.

Editorial From the Columbus
Ledger.
The Ledger iefrained from com
ment on tiie news report sent out
by private correspondents in At
lanta Friday concerning an alleged
slight, or clis'courageaus treatment
on the part of Governor Walker to
Senator Oscar Underwood in the
hope that a little time would de
velop the fact possibly that thq re
pot ts were without iouiidation, or
that they were at least magnified.
Later reports tail to bring the
vigorous reputation one would na
turally expect under the ‘ circum
stances and the situation is left
somewhat cloudy for the governor.
Frankly, we are astonished. We still
hope. >i. wever, that. Mr. • Walker
will be able to clear his skirts, for
he is left in a pretty bad predica
ment as the case stands. His friends
will expect an early explanation.
Eurely Governor Walker didn’t
intenticcial-ly snub Senator Under
\yood. If he really declined to have
his picture taken with the Alabama
senator for possible political rea
sons, thus embarassing . a distin
guished visiting guest and his
friend, the act places Mr. Walker
in the light of seriously lacking in
delicate courtesy or possessing over
consideration for the counsels of
timid caution. If true, it really,
lowers the great public office he
represents and will bring shafhe up
on the people who elected him.
Senator Underwood was a guest
of the state of Georgia, being in
Atlanta on special invitation of the
General Assembly to address that'
body and as chief executive of the I
great state, Governor Walker be
came host of the occasion. Re
gardless o.f his likes or dislikes for
such a guest, his plain duty was to
represent the commonwealth in a
manner in keeping with the pride
and dignity of the occasion. Any
thing short of this would be un
thinkable.
The Ledgqr cannot yet believe
that Governor Walker deliberately
slighted Georgia’s distinguished
guest and we still hope to see some
expit.nation which may clear un this
very ugly -situation.
