A THOUGHT Give none occasion to the adver sary to speak reproachfully.—l Tim. 5:14. And do as adversaries do in law: Strive mightily, but cat and drink as friends.—Shakespeare. Money Crops in Jasper County There are nine cheese fac tories in the State, three of which are in Jasper county, turning out 240 pounds of cheese each day. says R L. White, special writer for the At lanta Georgian. , Os two of these cheese factories he says: The two co-operative factories are turning out cheese at the rate of about 750 or 15,000 pounds per month. The two factories arc of approximately the same size, capacity and out put. The cheese is all consum ed in Georgia, marketed for the most part locally, in Macon, Sa vannah and Atlanta. The farm er-owners of the factories receice 21 cents, net, per pound for the cheese, the milk-producers thus receiving not less than 19c per gallon for their milk. Each consumes the output of whole milk from about 140 cows, which output, of course, will be greatly increased with the in creased growth of pasture grass es and other milk-making feed crops. Each consumes the milk from between 15 and 25 patrons, who get their whey back to feed their hogs and chickens; and thev declare that whey is almost, if not quite, as good feed as is milk that has been run through a cream separator. Besides peaches, of which there are 200,000 trees, Mr. White describes another indus try— Its plum industry has become an important factor and is grow ing rapidly, the county now con taining commercial plum orch ards aggregating 25,000 trees, some of the orchards last year yielding as high as SI,OOO to $1,200 per acre. This county contains more commercial plum trees than any other in Georgia, if not the entire South. Jasper has 10,00 pecan trees, 125,000 laying hens, more hogs than ever before are being rais ed. Its peanut crop was worth last year $45,000. From a normal production of 20,000 bales of cotton; the boll weevil cut Jasper’s crop down to 750 bales in 1923. She is now learning to produce cotton un der weevil conditions, but in the meantime is now taking a chance by sticking to cotton alone. It's Great to Be a Dad There are as many kinds of dads as there are sons. One is stern and hard; another lenient and weak; one heaps pocket change into the boy’s lap and denies him even a moment's time. ‘There are so many ways . . . to be the father of a son, and yet . . . the best is just to be his pal,” thinks Douglas Malloch, expressing the thought in the following, from the Rotarian: Go out and take a walk with him, And stray with him Some wooodland path where birds and things i Are flying by on happy wings. There are so many things to see, The grass, the rocks, the brooks, the tree. So answer ev’ry what and why— And, if vou can, O mighty man, Then you’re smarter than I! Go out and take a walk with him, And talk with him Os wonders on the avenue, The things they build, the things they do. There are so many matters great Far comrades to investigate, So tell him why and tell him what, And figure out What they’re about, And both of you will learn a lot. Go out awhile and fare with him, And share with him The busy world of wonders found By anyone who looks around. There are so many things a lad Would really like to ask dad, There are so many days of joy Tn meadows sweet Or city street, Just waiting for a man and boy! *♦ 1 His dad is very dear to him, Get near to him And share his work and share his p,ay JilJf And help him all along the way. There are so many ways for one ►•To be the father of a son And yet I’m sure the very best Is just to be His pal, you see— x You needn’t fret about the rest. When that hoy becomes a man, he will not remember the baseball bats, the knives, mar bles, kites and money, but those few moments given him daily, when you associated with him as his PAL, will stand out in mem ory so long as he lives. It’s great to be a dad, but far better—for the boy—just to be his pal. What Is This Monster? Who is your worst enemy, who is that causes loss of health, happines sand wealth ? ‘I he Week," an industrial publica tion, says— C J am more powerful than the combined ain.ic. of the world. I have destroyed more men than all the war.- of nations. I am more dreadful than bul lets, and I have wrecked more homes than the mightiest of siege guns. 1 steal, in the United States alone, over $300,000,000 each year. I spare no one, and I find my victims among the rich and poor alike, the young and the old, trong and the yeak. W idows and orphans know me. I loom up to such proportions that I cast my shadow over every’ field of labor, from the turning of the grindstone to the moving of every railroad train. I am everywhere—in the house, on the street, in the factory, at railroad crossing, and on the sea. I bring sickness, degradation, and death, and few seek to avoid me. I destroy, crush and maim, I give nothing, but take ail. I am your worst enemy. I am Carelessness. The man who rushes onto the railroad track without looking; he who leaves a burning match; he who spends more than he can pay; he who eats those things he should not; he who locks con science away for a moment’s ill chosen pleasure; these and oth ers have suffered disaster and death because of carelessness the failure to ponder well each step. Take time to think before you leap if you would beat this monster—Carelessness. Ihe Chain Stores The retail business bridge betwen producer and consumer in the marketing of commodi ties and services—is steadily amalgamating into gigantic chains. This movement of tendency is strikingly similar to the indus trial combinations among pro ducers that began to get under way about two decades ago. U. S. Steel, formed in 1902, was the big leader. Now the same thing is taking place in retailing The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. now has 10,000 stores scattered over the country. That is worth reading twice. Several times, in fact. It is a weathervane of the way the trade winds” are blowing. Ten thousand stores owned by one gigantic system! It is almost beyond the imagination. United Cigar Stores and agen cies number about 2500. The Woolworth 5-and-l 0-cent chain has around 1300 stores. There are more than I 00 Childs restau rants. And these are only a few of the many chain store systems. Chains of hotels are being estab lished. Chains of department stores are growing. The growth of chain store systems has been swift and far reaching. Am I a Failure? How often, when blue and despondent, we ask ourselves the question, “Am 1 a failure, or how may ! become a success?" F red A, Walker, a New York editorial writer, once wrote an editorial on "Success,” in which there appeared this paragraph: He has achieved success who has livedt well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomp lished his task: who has left the world ibetter than he found it whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked apprecia tion of the earth’s fine beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had;’ whose life was an inspiration, his memory a benediction. If you would know whether you are a success or a failure, apply this test to your own life. When you ask yourself if your neighbor is aVailure or a success, apply it conscientiously to his life, his clceds.lbis opportunities. Be he preacherßevangelist, law yer or blacksn*h, the test is equally applii«>le. It seems a safe guess that the biggest success cbn.es through treatin’ your fellow-man right. The boss in 'a shop’s oft too busy to stop and consider the power of his might. Hr 'll often times strive just to order and drive ’cans, he thinks that will get the most work. But he’ll soon understan’ that the <;v rage man resents—and is likely to shirk. 'There’s no room for prattle for men are not cattle; a very wise man is the boss who can lead and not drive, for he’ll keep thing., alive, and his crew will bring profit—not loss. The every-dpy fellow’s a long way from yellow. You’ll find that he’ll stand up and fight. If work plays him fair he will hold up his share but you’ve got to keep treatin’ him right. We’d best i>c a nation of co-operation. You bosses don’t want men to score you. You’ll fin that a gent gives one hundred p. t cent if he can work with and not for you. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service.) Opinions of Other Editors-- Serious and Otherwise POT SHOTS The best laws are those that are never enacted.—Columbia Record. You can’t judge a man’s prom inence by the noise he makes with his mouth. He may be a politician or again just drinking soup.—Lincoln Star. Probably there is not a pros perous bootlegger in the United States who agrees with Dr. Nich olas Murray Butler tha". prohibi tion is a failure. —Chicago News. ALMOST TOO HARD ‘So your daughter married, I hear. I expect you found it very hard to part with her.” “Hard! I should think so. Be tween vou and me, my boy, I began to think it was impossible.” —Alnwick Guardian. SWAT THE WEEVIL ONCE MORE. 801 l weevils are migrating. And according to expert opin ion, an application of calcium arsenate dust right now will be a good investment. It will kill many of the pests and greatly in crease the yield. A good yield of cotton is in prospect. Why not make it a bet ter prospect? Government .ex perts declare that an application of poison just now will pay excel lent dividends. It’s worth trying. —Albany Herald. 10,000 POUNDS PER MONTH. The Valdosta creamery under the management of T. J. Fenn, formerly of Cordele, is now turn ing out butter at the rate of ten thousand pounds a month. This new enterprise in Valdosta not only makes it possible for the farmers of that section to rattle the cash the year round, but every commercial institution of the town will feel the difference in cash in come as well.—Valdosta Times. NITRATE OF SODA WILL POISON ANIMALS Several reports have reached us that quite a few animals Ijave been poisoned by licking nitrate of soda. In some instances, the animals seem to have gotten the nitrate of soda while grazing on crops to which the nitrate had just been applied as a top-dress ing. However, in the majority of cases, poisoning has followed negligence in allowing the animals access to the nitrate in storage It is well to bear in mind that nitrate of soda is poisonous and that it should be stored where the stock cannot get it. While there is ordinarily not much dangpr in curred in allowing animals to run on crops to which nitrate has been applied, it is well to keep the animals from the field immediate ly after an appication of fertilizer is made. A purgative such as Epsom salts, followed by a few days of green feed, will often help poison ed animlas to recover.—The pro gressive Farmer. A RIOT OF INTOLERANCE. Among the less distressing in stances of local intolerance late ly recorded is the story of two ministers of Wellsburg, W. Va.. who attempted to close a number of concessions at a carnival held in the town and were saved from rough treatment at the hands of a resentful mob' by the interfer ence of the Knights of Pythias. There was, it seems, no law against the operation of the con cessions in question. The min isters exceeded their rights in try ing to close the doors to the crowd. There is, of course, no legal basis for mob-violence against ministers who forget them selves and exceed their rights. Both parties to the contention were in the wrong. But, sadly enough, both parties to the con tention are more typical of our national thinking than they would have been perhaps at tny 'other period of our history. 'Vhetlwr it is still a hang-over frdm the war spirit or we have simply come to a crisis of intolerance for which our strict forefathers prepared us, tiie United .States is in many sec tions mad on the subject rff regi mentation, and the disease is spreading. Those who do not drink will not allow others t 6 drink. Those who do not gamble, even where there is no la wagainst gambl ing, a in Well burg, undertake to stop gambling. A'hose who do noHdance are up im arms against dancing. The Ku ftlux Klan is r THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER only ong manifestation of a gen eral tendency. As a matter of fact, we are tending to become, instead of a nation of independent citigens, with independent social and poli tical views, a nation’ of identical twins. Will nothing satisfy us except conformity so complete that we all look alike, act alike, drink alike eat alike and foibd* all dissent?—New York World. hi Albert 1 DEATH 1 Death now does not come to the average American until he is nearly 58 years old. So claims the statis tician of a large insurance company. When the Civil War started, the average, duration of life was only about. 40 years. In George Wash ington’s day it was around 30. Mark, these are average figures. The gain has been made chiefly by cutting the death rate among chil dren, especially babies. People who reach maturity don’t live any long er than formerly, if as long.* Fewer die in early youth, that’s all. * * * IMPROVED Farmers, who suffer heavy money losses from frosts, will appreciate the importance of this news A “cold weather corn” that grows on South American mountains as high .as 12,500 feet above sea-level where it’s never any too warm is being in troduced into the United States. The ears arc- small and imper fectly formed, by American stand ards, but maybe our horticultural scientists can improve them by cross breeding—and produce a corn less easily killed by frost. That would help cut the cost of living a bit. * ❖ ❖ WHISKY We are a sickly feeble nation when it comes to getting a liquor prescription from the doctor. Enough .whiskey to fill nearly 11 million half-pint bottles was sold this way in the 12 month sended June 30. It was not quite enough to fur nish a'half pint for every 10 Ameri cans during a whole year. But it added probably 20 million dollars to the medical profession’s income. The cost of living is high at every quarter. * * 4: DELICACY The diamond back terrapin, small turtle that lives in marshes along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, is in danger of extermination. This warn ing from the bureau of fisheries will be a blow to gourmets with educated appetites, for the d. b. terrapin is one of the greatest delicacies. They are diminishing because they are being eaten faster than na ture furnishes them. This strikes us as zero in shortages. A famine in bacon and! eggs would be a real ca lamity. $ * ♦ MORE A ton of coal now is made to gen erate a third more electricity than five years ago, government bulletin claims. At that, fully nine-tenths of the potential energy of coal is wanted goes up the chimney or out in ashes. Not to mention the terrific power locked up in coal atoms, which fu ture generations will unprison and use. Industrial chemistry is easily the greatest field that lies before Amer' can youth. Electrical engineer g and aviation science are others. * * * WINTER M inter building is urged by Her b< rt Hoover to stabilize employment and price# is the building trades nnd construction industries, !>'•: certainly desirable, but It will bo next to impossible to accomplish, even with money inducements. Man is animated by.savage impulses, and one of the strongest of these is to build his nest in spring and summer, ahead of the cold months. The most complex economic prob lems are, after al! simple natural processes. .. p. OUR BOARDING HOUSE By Ahern WE?'

Malloy, of this city, who has been traveling this summer, in Ger many, and is now supposed to be in Nureniburg, where her last letters werfc posted. Mrs. Malloy is a sis ter of Mrs. Allen S. Perry and Mr. E. C. Speer of this city, who while not uneasy ragarding her safetv, feel a bit worried over the possibili ty of her getting out of the country and back to New York in view of the very limited transportation fa cilities. This is Mrs. Malloy’s sec ond summer in Germany. With three aspirants in the race to represent Sumter County in the next general assembly, the entry lists closed yesterday, and the con test will be between Messrs. J. E. Sheppard, Crawford Wheatly, and John D. Williams, two to be elected, or rather nominated in the primary on the 19lh. Mrs. J. E. Prather, .Misses Gen eveve and Hazel Prather, after a pleasant weeks visit in Savannah, will return today to congratulate Dr. Edward Prather upon his birth day anniversary. Mrs. L. G. Council, and pretty little daughters, Ruth and Elizabeth will return this morning from a stay of several days at Tate Springs. Tenn. TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times Recorder. Augus. 5, 1904.) There has not been a vacant store in Americus this year, and rarely ever a vacant dwelling. How is that for a city of 10,000 popula tion. The county school board of Sum ter met yesterday in monthly ses sion with Supt. Moore, and Messrs. C. S. S. Horrte, J. J. Hiller, A. S. Morgan, and Dr. A. J.
