EDITORIALS Walker for Chancellor Press reports, originating no doubt in the Kimball House, At lanta, stated a few days ago that there were a rather definite de mand that Clifford Walker was wanted a-. Chancellor of the University of Georgia. It. was stated that the meeting of the trustees -.1 the University would be moved up to July 12 instead of September to consider his < lection. Shades of Hirarn Evans’ The state has disposed of one Kluxer and now they would run in an other. The Good Lord knows Georgia already has had enough unfavorable advertising. Aie we now to tell the world that our I <r.iv< rsity is to have for its head ■ member of the Ku Klux Klan? It’s bad enough to have such a one as Governor, but spare us our children I This may be a Ku Klux Klan move or it may not. It may come from the oily brain of one |. J. Brown, who would like to get Klanstnan Kliff out of the Executive chair and place therein I resident of the Senate Ennis. It is a nice little dose the Atlan ta ring would put over, but they Idiven’t taken into account the <temper of the state. Ihe skids were all greased for one klans man for chancellor but so much “bell 'iTroke loose in Georgia” he was sidetracked while efforts were made to get John Davis and some others who were known to be impossible of se curing. The Macon Telegraph thinks the whole thing originated in the Brown machine. Recently that paper observed: Yes, it is a great little cheme. An ideal little scheme, except of that Mr. Brown .does not reck on with the three factors: Gov ernor Walker himself, the trus tees of the University and the people of the State of Georgia. Machines takes themselv -s so seri ously under the nose of the Capi tol that they become nearsighted. They do not see, apparently, that although the Chancellorship of the Unviersiiy is a desirable plow for any man, and far above the Ecads of our run-of-the-mine poiiti< ian ; it is not likely that Governor Walker will allow him to be so easily intrigu d and put upon th' shelf. It is not likely, even if he consented to it, that th trustees of the I niversi ty would elect him. The meager reports that have seeped out of the recent meeting of the trus tees show that the gentlemen who compov the board displayed a re markable independence of thought, and almost, if not ae t tally, snubbed Chief .lustice Ri 4 11, the machine politician of the group. In the third place, Mr. Brown lias not taken into consideration the temper of the people of the State toward the Chancellorship. They are thoroughly convinced that Chancellor Barrow’s admin istration has been clogged up by political intereference from the outside. That no more has been ■•wcomplu h> d at the University of Georgia is not attributed to the deficiency of the splendid gentle man who was at its head, but to the little Clique that festooned themselves around the body of the University and stifled it. The alm. ci of the University have already spoken their impatience with thus nr thod • and the peo ple of the State have demonstrat ed ch arty that they are tired of political machinations in connec tion with the University. Yes, it s a great little scheme, 'the inly trouble with o is “hat it won't work. No more chance of electing Walker chancellor than of electing him rabbi of a Jewish synagog. i ae choice is narrowing down to Andrew J. Soule and in the i ml we hope the Board of Trus vid e that he’ of all avail able m n will be able to do most for Georgia and Georgia s buys. Watermelon Rinds It’s watermelon time and that means more flies and mosquitoes unless we are careful. Here’s a suggestion from the Schley County News: The carelersnes or thoughts ss pess of those who eat watern cions in the bu- ine. s section in leav ing the rinds where the melon sue eaten tends to create breed- ’ j ~ A THOUGHT ! i i If thou canst believe, all things ' are possible to him that believeth. —Mark 9:23. > , Brother, thou hast possibility in . thee for much; the possibility of • writing on the eternal skies the • record of a heroic life—Carlyle. ing places for the mosquito, fly and other pests calculated to cause sickle . Ellaville’s sani tary committee should look after this important matter. Americus has not had such cause for complaint in the past, but the rinds from watermelons should not be left outside of closed cans. Too often they are th v own to the chickens, where liny r< ,i ■, fol < 1 lys, a sourihg and breeding Hi s and mosqui toes, and occasionally they are seen about the streets. 1 fiat s bad for city mid business Lour.es alike. An Object Lessen A telegraphic d. pub h from Moscow dated June 12, says. “Under the terms of a decree now under discussion by the So viet officials, common law mar riage: hereafter will be re< ag nized a legal and binding by So viet courts. Men and women will not need to go through cith er a civil or religion.-' c rermm y or even register themselves Io he considered husband and wife find ‘ enjoy the protection of the So viet law, but the period of th; r living together, under the pro posed decree ‘must be a reason ably lone one’ if the couple de sires that th,' union be legalized.’’ Think of the confusion ol property right (if there is any such thing under the Soviet rule) which will result in a few sears from this loose method of fam ily relatons. And yet there are thousands of persons in our country who if they had the pow er would launch our govern ment on a program of socialism which in the end would produce conditions similar to the Rus sian situation. i he time to kill a snake is be fore it has coiled and is ready to strike. Ihe time to kill so cialism is now, before it is strong enough to strike effectively. ~EDIT OR IA L S W' ■ I irt'y >• j ’j kwell It is the vacat ion season. Across the ocean or the conti- j nent, if you can spare the time ami I money; to near by shore or moun- | tains or woods, or to fishing stream, if you have only the regulation two weeks and limited funds; but, any how, somewhere out of doors and close to nature —go if you can. To sea of mountains? Either way, you find what you take with you. Either may be a plaything, or the temple of the Infinite. You may fish and hunt and golf; you may 101 l in the sand and bathe or watch the bathers. Or you may wrestle with tlx mountains, and conquer them, and be lifted up by them. Aged but not eternal; vast but not infinite; each differing from each, with its story written in its ribs and veins—you may be a rav age in the mountains, or, under their brief inspiration, ami athletic, an artists, a poet ami a worshipper. Not so, the sea. The mountain is Chri tian, but the sea is I’anljieist. It knows neither time nor space, it has no parts nor history; its waves move from nowhere to now here, without past or future; its voice speaks no word and tell:; no tale; its spirit i timeless, dream less Nirvana. The mountains to work and thin'; and live; the sea to mure and dwell in the inner vision—or eithar to play and loaf and forget. A brief season to be yourself— whichever self it is. Then back for another year as a bewildered cog in this machine-made world. WHY MEXICO IS STILL I A POOR COUNTRY Experts on Mexico say there enough gold—not ore in mines, but | smelted bulWon—buried in Mexi ? to pay the national debt and . t I the country on its feet. In spite of centuries of disorder | and lack of banks, this may be an; ; i xagger. 1 >n, as to minted gold, but •c ha/ alv. ys been the case, as to the natural mineral resources of the country.

Let’s examine the proposition a little before indorsing it too wholeheartedly. How would you standardize these laws? Would the laws of the state I h it allows no divorces at all be the standard? Or those that allow divorce for almost anything? Or those that lie halt way between? And, on top of it all, do we want any more standardization than we have? Suppose people in one state have one idea about; divorce, and people in another state have another idea. Should each class be allowed to have its own kind of law on the sub ject? The idea back of this move s praiseworthy. But the ques tion will bear a lot of studying. ! uucing wealth for centuries. And J yet Mexico is poor, without free cap I ilal to develop its resources. I The trouble is that Mexico has never reinvested its income in pro ductive equipment. Its vast product of mineral wealth has gone, some of it to the loot of conquerors; some of it back into the ground, in hidden and lost hoards; some of it into the ornaments of churches; .and most of the rest into the hands of a luxury-loving class, who sent it out of the country for imported wines, silks, jewels and works of art, "or spent it abroad. The result is that Mexico is a land of wealth and poverty, of luxury and squalor, of culture and ignor anc, but not of productive capital. What, it lacks is not resources, but a system to put them to use. SPELLING IS NO LONGER OF GREAT IMPORTANCE Frank Neuhauser, ll years old, of Louisville, Ky.. is awarded a medal as the best schoolboy speller in America. It is a fine achievement, to have attained first place in anything, and this boy will probably be heard of again, for something more im portant.. But the spelling itself can no ionger be regarded as having the im portance our fathers attributed to it. It. was once the hall-mark of edu cation; the token of mastery of the tools of thought and expression. Now it is a specialized craft, and I a subordinate one, at that. It might help equip one for a job as printer, proofreader or stenographer, to set up, correct, or take down the words of others. It is a trade. If Abraham Lin coln had not known how to spell, his letters would have come down to us as manuments of illiteracy. Calvin Coolidge, of course, can I spell also—but he doesn’t; and no one would be the wiser if he could not. Spelling is still a desirable ac complishment, but, for most people, it is no longer a neces. ity. ’I nt AnrtE.ruu.ua i tt»tto-rxE.UAznMtrt /W\TOM 11$ SIA\S ’I he wcrl.i is shaped like a grape fruit instead vs a lemon.

One / ’day my mother < ; suggested that I : take Lydia E. ■ Pinkham’s Veg- etableCompound, which I did, and it did wonders lor me. In the course of a year I married and after my first baby was born I got up too soon and it caused a displace ment. This troubled me so that I could hardly walk or do my housework. I knew what the Vegetable Compound did for me before so I took it again. It strengthened me and now I have five little kiddies. The eldest is six, i the baby is five months old and I have , twin boys three years old and a boy of I five years. Ido ail my own housework, washing and ironing, and I never felt better in my life.

A baby isn’t much count until it has been used a few years. Some o’ the men who married only last month' are carrying um brellas already. Being rich would be nice if it didn’t take so much money.

S Co. t Ga. 1a - Who do you turn to for good common sense, and who does you thinking that’s dear or that’s dense? Who, after all, rules the things that you do? The answer is no other person than YOU! Other folks, maybe, can give you advice, but YOU are the one who must stop and think twice. Your is the credit, or yours is the blame, when flopping to failure, or rising to fame. Stored in your brain there is some sort of force that acts as the rudder that’s steeringyour course. Keeping it busy is wise, you will find; you simply can’t move till YOU make up your mind. Honestly, now, if the whole world stopped dead, could you and would you keep going ahead? Worthy the man who can stand all alone and always get by himself, on his own. Turn to yourself on all things, when in doubt, for YOU are the one who should figure them cut. After a while, you’ll find out, like as not, that you, your own self, the best friend you’ve got.
