Many farmers In Americas yes

hogs the past week, expressed ap
prehension for^the safety of their
meat supply, as the weather rapidly

Scores of farmers have already I
lost a great deal of meat this year
because of the warm weather, or
sudden changes after they had put
up their meat. Other farmers have I
not killed meat and are feeding their |
hogs at a, heavy expense.
A large number of farmers have I
turned up the ground hoping for I

Of course, the insects will burrow

POISONED “NEWS"
(Columbus Ledger.)
The campaign recently Inaugurated
In the East for a "cleaner press' 'ap
pears tA have had little effect to date
on the average newspaper. Not only
the Associated Press but all the lead
ings news agencies of the country are
giving more attention to scandal trials
and “smutty" sensations of the day
than to any other class of matter,
which fact is to be deplored.
On the subject the Montgomery
Times says:
"Many of the reported facts
the Halos trial sent out by the
soclated Press have no business
the columns of a decent newspaper
The published testimony of that
maladorous affair in Tuesday's Asso'
elated Press papers was sufficiently
objectionable to have had that Issue
of these Journals held In the United
States malls.. The Infinite harm re
sulting from the reading of such sala
cious stuff that the triumph of Go
tham Immorality gives to the world
as news, cannot be conceived of In
any estimate of the mind. The
Times fully shares In the boast that
enumerates the freedom of the Amer
ican press among the proudest guar
antees of constitutional liberty, but
It Is perverting the precious legacy In
measuring It to a license which per
mits the dissemination of vulgar and
obscence literature. Every paper that
has faithfully and fully told the
facta-In the Hains murder trial li
guilty of sinning against the senti
ment of Ita readers which draws the
lines between licensed newt and
positive Indecency."
Details of the Hains trial are not
the only shocking and offensive news
which Is being published In the big
dally papers by any means.
The blue pencil should be used on
at leaat fifty per cent of the "scandal
news” we get from Parle and other
foreign dtlei, the most of which li
unfit reading for the general public
The Ledger would like to see the
campaign for a "cleaner press
launched In the South and we are
ready to take up the blue pencil
once. •
Let us have expressions from
Southern editors on the eubJecL We
would also be glad to obtain the sen
timents of our patrons on the qu
tkra and will publish opinions and
expressions as may be suggeated,
looking to the euppreaslon of “scandal
news” of the day.

A man handed a merchant a check for $50.00 to apply on account The
merchant neglected to give proper credit, and elx months later rendered a
statement to the customer. '
The customer called his attention to the error In falling to credit the
check, which the merchant denied having received. When the customer
produced the check bearing the merchant's endorsement, there were abject
apologies—but no argument. 1
Without that check as evidence the customer would have been forced
to pajr again, hence the $50.00 check was worth $100.00.

cause.
The announcement that Dr. Burrows
has definitely decided to come will
be received with delight, not only by
the members of the First Baptist
church, but by the whole city. The
new pastor Is one of the best known
preachers in the South. For some
years he waa pastor of the First Bap
tist church at Augusta, but for the
past nine years has been pastor of
the Flrat Baptist church of Nashville,
one of the wealthiest churches of the
Tennessee capital.
As a pulpit orator, Dr. Burrows will
be a most valuable acquisition to the
local ministry. Americus lean now
compare moat favorably with the
larger cities In the matter of dls-
tlnguslhed divines and pulpit ora
tors.
