Dr. E. G. Hardeman As the county primaries draw near to conclusion, more inter est is evidenced in the state elections which occur this year. Many names have been men tioned for Governor to succeed the encumbent. Some have been.<eliminated; others have de clined. The name of Dr. L. G. Hardeman, of Commerce, who has been a candidate for Gov ernor twice in the past, appears in the news during the past few days as a possible candidate. The friends of Dr. Hardeman are attaching considerable sig nificance to addresses he is mak ing at different points in North Georgia. They believe he is giving serie,is thought toward entering the race again. Recently Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, the temperance leader, spoke at Commerce and refer red very pointedly to Dr. Hardeman- She called him ‘the father of the prohibition move ment in Georgia" and said that she has always longed to see the # day when Dr. Hardeman would have a seat in the Governor’s chair. Mrs. Armor said she be lieves that if' he should be elect ed Governor of Georgia he would enforce the law and would make prohibition in Georgia a great success. Dr. Hardeman, speaking be fore the'Lavonia Chamber of Commerce on the subject of “Commerce, Business and the Business Man,” referred in gen eral terms to the important in fluence business and commerce bear to advancement of modern civilization. Speaking of "Big Business,' he said: “Business aims to render life safe and secure. To supervise wisely the great corporations is well; but to look backward to the days when business was po lite pillage and regard our great business concerns as pi ratical institutions carrying let ters of marque and reprisal is grave error, born in the minds of little men. When these lit tle men legislate they set the brakes going up hill.” Dr. Hardeman further said that laws Enacted for the regu lation of trade should be most carefully scanned. Business it self, he said, “will yet do away with graft and begging. Reci procity, co-operation and mu tuality are the important words now. . . • That which hampers, cripples and retards must be done away with. That which gives freedom, security and peace must be encouraged. "The best lawyers now are busines men, and their work is to keep the commercial craft in a safe channel, where it will not split on the rocks of litigation nor founder in the shallows of misunderstanding. Every law yer will tell you this. ‘To make money you must satisfy your customers.’ ’’ Dr. Hardeman is a man of exceptional ability, a Christian gentleman and a loyal, progres sive Georgian. During the World War few men in the state rendered greater service to the nation than the gentleman from Commerce. He numbers his friends by the thousands. Will Vereen, of Moultrie, has refused to make the race, al though great pressure had been brought to bear to draft him. Mr. Vereen is shouldering the business responsibilities of his father, W. C- Vereen; he has been drafted as president of the Moultrie Chamber of Com merce, and these and other rea sons have made it necessary for him to decline to make the race at this time. L. G. Council, of Americus, whose name has been mention ed many times, declines to al tow hb frjsaUi te him b* ! cause of the necessity at this time of giving his entire time to } his county and his personal af fairs. George Carswell, of Wilkin son, is the only candidate so far to announce for the chief execu tive’s place. Clifford Walker, while not yet having actually announced as an aspirant to succeed him self, is generally considered as an active candidate. One of the late so-called booms to get under way is that of Judge Render Tejrrell, of Meriwether county, a high-class and thoroughly loyal Georgian with a host of friends in the state. t The name of W. T. Anderson, editor of the Macon Telegraph, has been and continues to be mentioned by many, though Mr. Anderson has stated that he will not be a candidate. John W. Bennett, of Way cross, and Herschel Elders, of Tattnall, are among others who are “talked of.” Panning the Boss The greatest international sport is the popular pastime, "panning the boss.” You find it in all occupations—trades, pro fessions, politics, the army wherever people carry on any sort of activity involving leader ship and its accompanying au thority. “Panning the boss’’ begins with the toddling child, pouting its resentment at “must do this!” and “must not do that!" It con tinues pll through life, right up to' the door of the graveyard, with the old man grumbling at the passing of old-time forms of authority and then replacement by the changed boss system of the new generation. Go where you will, you can not escape hearing people pan their bosses. Forever there is grumbling at existing authority —on the farm, in factory, in of fice, in the home, all the way from the complicated organiza tion of metropolitan life to the Eskimo mumbling about the Hudson Bay' agent who buys his furs, or the tropical jungle na tive grumbling because he does not get more glass beads from his boss, the trading post buyer. People have such an instinc tive hatred of authority, it’s a wonder they are able to co-op erate in any form of govern ment, even democracy. Man at heart is a philosophical an archist, hating leaders. Occas ionally men are hypnotized by a leader like Napoleon into' flinging their personal freedom to the winds and rallying in emo tional ecstasy to the leader. That’s as rare as it’s brief. The only reason people stand for a boss at all is because they are jealous of the boss—have a secret hope that, if they support the boss system, they have a chance of becoming boss them selves. The grumbling and the panning continue, nevertheless. Forever there is a boss. The foreman has his boss, the shop superintendent. He, in turn, answers to the general manager whose boss is the board of direc tors. The board has its boss, the bankers and stockholders and tax collectors. So on and on, an endless chain, always a Higher Power. OPINIONS OF : OTHER EDITORS J A GOOD SIGN Some of the farmers who make their own living on the farms in this section are put ting out large pecan groves. It is is a hopeftll sign. It would be hard indeed for mistakes to show up in the future if our land owners would be careful about the pbcan stocks and make all investigation as to kind and meth od of planting and culture before they spend their money. We do not want to see our pecan groves owners lose money on this invest ment—and we believe that will never happen.—Cordele Dispatch DELUDING THEMSELVES The Republican leaders mav delude themselves into the be lief that a higher tariff on wheat will win for them the votes of the Western farmers. If so, th" Republican leadership gives hos tage to political fate and affords the Democracy one more potent argument to prove that the Grand Old Party has deservedly lost its reputation for business sagacity and devotion to high ideals Asheville Citizen.

The high price that has prevailed will cause a stampede back to cotton throughout the South. But that will not mean a big cotton crop. With the boll wevil present the larger the acreage the small dr the crop will be. It has been demonstrated that cotton can be grown profitably under boll weevil conditions; but it requires more work, more time and more money to do it. So those who are wise enough to confine their planting to an acreage that they can handle under the new condi tions will make the money this year.—Rome" Tribune Herald NEED GOOD FARMING It is a mistaken notion that when prices are low because of overproduction that the remedy is to take less pains and let the animals run down. Such practice leads to but one end—bankrupt cy. Whatever the price, it iql the man that makes the highest re turns on his acres who is rfiost prosperous. The truth is the lower the price of the product the greater the need for high ef ficiency in producing it. When prices are high even mediocre yields are profitable but such ' yields are always unprofitable when the prices are low. There fore the more discouraging , the price of ftfrm products, .the greater the necessity for good farming.—Kansas City Star. MISTER DAUGHERTY We wish Mister Daugherty no harm, but we cannot see what he is going to gain for himself or his party hanging on when everv body else seems willing for him to step out. Many sins have been -laid at his door since he has beer, attorney* general.—Cordele Dis patch. LISTEN, MALE MATES! American women are the lone liest women in the world although they are charming, intelligent, dress fautlessly and never are too fat or too thin declares Ma dame Marie Johnson, sister-in law of the former premier of Rumania and art emissary of Queen Marie. < She concludes that American women are loneliest because they have not learned that happiness comes first; their husbands, wear ing themselves out to provider luxuries for their women, con sequently die young. “In my country,” she said, “women are satisfied with a dres:. or two and with a modest little house and .a simple menu, in America you wear many jewels and your little shop girl has the wardrobe of a great lady.”—Ex change. , BANKER SPEAKS ON FARM PROBLEMS. Speaking on problems of the farm, Walter W. Head, president of the American Bankers’ As sociation in an address entitled “Let’s Make It a Partnership,” said: “Agriculture today is just emerging from a period of ser ious depression. If we will apply to agriculture the lessons gained by the experience of general busi ness, we will achieve still greai ter prosperity for the farmer. The problem today is to use re sources effectively—to produce economcaliy and to market eco nomically. The problem of marketing cannot be left for th'? solution of the farmer alone; it must be considered by all busi ness nu n, inasmuch, as the pros perity of all s affected by that of agriculture.” Comment in detail upon what Mr. Head has said would be use less. It is only necessary that the banker, the merchant and the business man generally* should make it a partnership with the farmer. Ls they will do this they will be giving ffie farmer a bet ter chance, than he has hereto fore had. And as a rule he cer tainly needs all the help he can get.” Columbus Enquirer- Sun. .... bu; Albert Apple PONZI Do you remember him? It’s al most four years since Ponzi began to work his frenzied finance scheme. The committee, appointed by the courts to liquidate his affairs, re ports it has had over 11,000 claims presented to it, involving more than four million dollars. The Ponzi swindle would not have been possible except for the universal desire to get something for nothing. He beat them at their own game. Such is the 'case with nearly all swindlers. * * * NEW Chicago now has 700,000 phones. It took 27 years to get the first 100,000 customers —and only two years to get tht; last 100,000. An outstanding characteristic oi our generation is its willingness to adopt the new and improved. It’s easier to put a new idea over now than ever -before, wheih makes the present a very attractive period in which to live, for the ambitious. We gdopt the new eagerly. Oui grandparents almost had to be com pelled to adopt improvements. My ron T. Herrick and many others had shotguns fired at them when they marketed the first sewing machines. People thought the sewing machine was a curse, because it took work away from dressmakers wbo sewed by hand. i * * * GASOLINE The law of supply and! demand is on the side of the oil industry in stead of consumers. Final report shows that the American people in 1923 used a fourth more gasoline than in the year before, x Looking ahead about 10 years, it appears that alcohol will be the chief motor fuel. * * * TUT King Tut died of tuberculosis ol the lungs, according to Bisjiara Nahas, Egyptian author in sup port of this theory, Tut died young, and was frail> He was a boy king. Germs rule our earth, though few realize, which is not surprising. The white race has had military supremacy of the world for only about three centuries, yet few know it, getting their education from ft “white man’s history,” written to please Caucasians. Insect life will “rule the world,’ exterminating all men eventually, according to some scientists. » * * MA A man’s work is from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done. So runs the old saying. New Hampshire checks up and discovers that the average woman on its farms works 4000 hours a year. That’s about 11 hours a day, Sun days included. Ma never gets a real vacation. Did it ever occur to you, what would happen if she struck for an eight-hour day? HOOCH The rum fleets operating off our Atlantic coast consist of 158 ships, according to the United States Coast Guard. The official estimate is that these ships land whisky at the rate of about six and a half million quarts a year. A lot? Yes. But it’s only one quart a year for every 17 Americans. In 1913 the American people drank 22 times as much whisky, gin and brandy as is being landed by the rum fleet now. ’ffniua Mexico will send an Olympic team to France. If the team haft any soldiers they should be good runners. » Radio is becoming very popular in South America and almost any night the fans can hear a revolu- Uon jn th e air. __ EVERY DAY IS WASHDAY FOR MF" 'W doYoolhirk-Yju'll k/O' \-/ W gg EVEI?

The work of and level ing the ground for City Hall park is progressing rapidly, and by the end of the week the plat will .be ready for the landscape gardener to begin work. Chairman Bivins, of the park committee of the council, has forwarded a plat of the park to Mr. P. J. Berckmans, of Augusta, the celebrated florist and landscape gardener asking suggestions in re gard to the grouping of trees. There have been many pleasant entertainments at the elegant home of Capt. and Mrs. A. C. Bell, but the congenial party that gathered around their hospitable fireside last night outrivalled all other in royal good cheer and hearty enjoyment Col. J. O.
