Atlanta. j editorials Observations From Here and There— ’sometimes it seems that this country is fairly loaded down with i knotty problems—that it has so ? many things to set straight that it is making no progress at all. But there is a ray of hope in the situation that we often forget about. And that is the extreme youth ' of our nation. One hundred years ago Chica go was a trading post and every-; thing west of the Mississippi was a wilderness. Texas and Califor- ’ nia were under Mexican rule and towns like Detroit and Pittsburgh were little more than mliitary out-j posts. San Francisco was only a little Spanish misson, and sev-' eral hundred people lived in Los Angeles. These things considered, is it' any wonder that there are some’ things wrong with our national So rapid a growth is bound to bring the rise of unwanted fea tures. But it also implies a ca pacity, in the national character, to meet any and all difficulties! and, sooner or later, to find away out of them. Religion and politics and radio. What will be the outcome? A few years ago the national politician was forced to rely on the newspapers to carry his mes sage. Today he may reach mil lions over the radio. Until the last two years a min ister addressed only those whom he could see in front of him. Now his audience listens from every State in the Union. The mediocre preacher, whose Sunday night audiences have been composed of those who ral lied about him, through a sense of loyalty—or habit—must com pete with the greatest pulpit ora ars of the nation. Paul Raidor in hicago, or a divine in Nashville nay fie more interesting than the lome product. Both may be reard in one night. What will the average man do? Remain at home with his radio or doze in his accustomed place in his home town church? If you know human nature, you know the answer. ? Radio will make it "hard sled-1 ding" for the lazy, hte mediocre, the fellow who has been just get-| ting by," both in politics and re-! ligion- A Georgia farmer is quoted by the Savannah Press as saying that "there was never a better time to hold cotton than the pres ent.’’ Commenting on that state ment, the Press savs: "Federal crop reports are confus ing. The truth is that the pres ent crop is very early and it will not do to estimate future receipts by the amount which has been al- . ready ginned. This year’s crop is one of the earliest on record, probably th*? earliest ever known. Cultivation has been very rapid, owing to the dry weather. The cotton plants matured sooner than usual. The continued hot weather was pro tracted into October, hence the bolls opened sooner. The amount that had been ginned up to the middle of October represents a great percent of the crop. A correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution believes that the cot ton crop wil Ibe but a ittle over 13,000,000 bales. Ke argues that cotton should be bringing 30 cents soon and that the farmers of the eotton belt/”should inaugurate a holding movement. Their finan cial condition enables them to do this. As a rule it is bad advice to give farmers. Experience of the past has shown that it is better market the crop right off and ease up the financial situation all around. Very few farmers can afford to hold their crop. Such speculations has resulted badly heretofore. It may be as this correspondent says, that the estimates of this crop are ton. large, and that the affect of this has beep to depress prices. Generally it is safe to sell. It may be that this season is phenomenal. Government estimates may be far nut of the way. But such specula tions should induce caution. Ihe farmers who sold early Lis year gained by so doing, and A THOUGH! As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.—Josh. 2 4:15, » * * Devotion, like fire, goeth up ward.— Zoroaster. Sumter county, fortunately, dis posed of most of its staple early.. Southwest Georgia s day is here, says the editor of the Al bany Herald, and every editor in this section of the State has said the same thing time and time again during the past six months. Never has a section faced a brighter future than is open now to Southwest Georgia. The Albany Herald, in the fol lowing interesting editorial, gives its reasons for stating that this is "Georgia’s day:” Years of preparation ha v e j brought this land of rich endow ment —a land to which nature has ' been prodigal in the bestowal of i natural gifts—to the threshold of ‘ realization. I. Through all these years of con servative development we have been laying a foundation. We might have done better, but on the whole we have done fairly well. We have built progressive and self-reliant communities. We have linked them up with better high ways, and many of these have been paved. We have steadily in creased the number of cur indus trial plants, improved our school systems, increased efficiency in municipal and county govern ments and improved health, condi tions. Thousands of acres of land have been brought to high valuation as the cultivated pecan industry has fulfilled the promise which pio neers in that industry foresaw. More recently, our agricultural system has been practically revolu tionized, with the result that we are no longer dependent upon one money crop for prosperity. Crop diversification has opened new vistas through which the farmers of this section envisage a greater independence, and the increasing demand for farm lands is signifi cant of a new agricultural era. No less important than these material developments is the crys tallization of a sectional conscious ness—a realization on the part of Southwest Georgia communities that their material wellbeing is in dissolubly bound up in a communi ty of interest which all must recog nize. No one town or county in this section can prosper alone, and the recognition of that fact is making possible a co-operation in which is the promise of endurtug mutual benefits. All these developments ♦ aether form the material foundation on which the future of Southwest Georgia is to be built. And the reassuring feature of our condition is the solidity of that on which we build. As Roger W. Babson so clearly pointed out in his thoughtful survey of South west Georgia for the special edition of The Herald of Sunday morning, this section’s economic position is sound. The basis laid for its com ing prosperity and greater devel opment is solid, and those who build may do so with full confi dence in their foundation. Today Southwest Georgia faces the greatest development of its history. Never before has the at tention of Georgia and neighbor ing states been focused on this sec tion as it is today. Never before have so many investors and home seekers been prospecting in South west Georgia communities, and never have as great developments as now are definitely planned been in prospect. Newcomers are arriving daily. Vacant farms are filling up. Towns and cities are acquiring that new blood which means enlarged busi ness and manufacturing activities. Lank deposits are increasing and building records are being broken. Partly as the result of these conditions, and at the same time serving largely as their inspiration, is a fine spirit of confidence. One meets it wherever he turns. It is definite, positive and omnipresent. It overflows copnty' lines and ani mates all classes of citizens. Verily, Southwest Georgia’s hour has struck. The faith of men who have refused to be discouraged to day is justified. The good ship Realization has come up over the horizon, and she’s headed for port. The faith of men who refuse to be discouraged usually re warded. It is the weakling, the quitter, the visionless who lag be hind and in the end lose ot t in life’s battles. The men of South west Georgia, always encouraged by their women, have carried on through dark and gloomy years. The sun is peeping over the ho rizon and its rays of brilliance will glorify and make glad a peo ple who deserve all that lies in fortune’s lap.

Let us hope so. For better or worse,, the Roosevelt precedent, that what Congress does is chiefly the president’s business, | is still our only refuge from inefi ciency and inaction. We may some 1 day devise a better system, but until j we get it, there is nothing to do but ' operate me present one. President Coolidge is in an excep- ( tionally fortunate position to do so. ! Even his opponents concede his 1 popularity with the people. His poli-■ I cies, so far as the people, know and I understand them, have their support. I If there are any new and unfamiliar 1 ones, the confidence of the people will tend to bring them to follow the president’s lead. 1 What they want is for Congress to 1 do so, too. Only vigorous insistence by Mr. Coolidge personally, using the weapons which his office gives him, can accomplish that.

I And that means that some new ' rules will have to be applied. Wl? -?i many persons are assembled in one room, to communicate with each I other, they have to appoint a chair man or moderator, and whoever wishes to speak has to “get the floor.” The chief function of the presiding officer, and of the par liamentary rules under which he I operates, is to see to it that every- I body does not speak at once, lest no- I body be heard.

Character is about like muscle. If you are not called upon to use either they become soft and flabby. Among th e symptoms of love are a vacant feeling inside and an enlarg ed vocabulary. A hypocrite is a man who eats ! cloves to make his friends believe he has had a drink. There is one bad habit wo-se man 1 all the others. It is the habit of forming bad habits. C . ... S' / ’Tis folly to flirt with a little white be, though maybe it’s told without batting an eye The fib that is told, just to cover things up, can only pour trouble, at best, in your cup. It’s funny how things of that nature work out. It’s funny how people can turn fibs about. A falsehood keeps growing, and grow ing each day, until, later on, it will give you away. We all find that, oflen, the simplest way out, is telling a story that hinges on doubt. A little white lie maybe flows without pain, and comes so a person won’t have to explain. And yet, after all, if you’re doing things right, you never need fear if the truth comes to IkhL The man who can look every soul in the eye, need never t ..ic ng behind a white lie.
