BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA
JULY 13, 1922.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
If Governor Hardwick and the gen
eral assembly want to raise more
revenue without imposing any special
hardship on the people of the state
let them place a special tax on coca
cola and other similar drinks. If a
special tax can be placed on gasoline,
which is now practically a necessity
to every business and home, certainly
a special tax should be placed on
coca-cola and kindred articles, which
are nothing more or less than luxur
ies. The United States government
obtained immense sums in this way
and Georgia should do so to meet the
emergency which is upon it during
these depressed times. We know of
no other way in which large sums
could be more easily turned into the
state treasury, and the legislature
ought to do it.
The people of Georgia have mani
fested no disposition so far to get
excited over the races for the va
rious state offices this year, not in
cluding the race for governor, and
it remains to be seen whether any
thing can arouse their interest.
There is plenty of time, of course,
for the campaign to get to white
heat but is is doubtful if it does. It
is an off year in politics^
Senator J. E. Palmour of Gaines
ville is a candidate for the office of
railroad commissioner, to succeed
Chairman C. M. Candler, who is not
offering for the place again, which is
a source of regret to the people of
the entire state, as he has made an
exceptionally fine official and is one
of Georgia’s ablest and best men.
Senator Palmour is a splendid man,
■well qualified for the position, and in
our opinion should easily win the
office over his two other opponents.
Senator Palmour is a business man
and a citizen of the highest character.
We hope and expect to see the peo
ple of this section of the state give
him a big vote and help elect him.
—o—
It is very easy to appeal to the
prejudice of the people and to try to
array class against class or com
munity against community or town
against country, but it is wrong to
do it. Every question ought to be
fairly discussed and considered and
judged on its merits. That is the
only way to settle questions as they
should be settled. ,
Georgia ought to be one of the
most prosperous states in the Union,
taken year in and year out. Of
course, now and then there will be
bad years, due to crop failures or
other causes, but with all the natural
advantages of climatic and other con
ditions, with proper diversification of
crops and industries, Georgia should
be in a prosperous and happy condi
tion nearly all the time.
—o —
We want to see a “Lamar County
Day” at the Lamar county fair in
October, at which every family in
Lamar county will be represented.
Our people, from every community in
the county, ought to become ac
quainted with each other. Our in
terests are mutual and when we
come to realize and appreciate this
fact, it will be a long step toward a
sympathetic and helpful interest in
each other. We can not hurt one
another in any particular with
out everybody else being affected
thereby. If people could be asso
ciated with each other in common
causes looking to the public welfare
they would naturally become better
and everybody would be benefitted
and helped.
—o —
The fight which is being waged on
the State Highway department by
certain people is not justified, accord
ing to our observation of the work
which has been accomplished and the
manner in which the work has been
done. Those connected with the
Griffin division, including all those
who have been working in Lamar and
adjoining counties, have done excel
lent work and have done it, apparent
ly at least, with the least possible ex
pense, and deserve the commendation
and appreciation of the people.
Georgia is being given a system of
state roads that is more and more
becoming a credit to the state and a
source of satisfaction and pleasure to
the public. If given time and proper
encouragement we belive the State
Highway department, as at present
officered, will make a showing that
will satisfy any reasonable man.

LAMONT NOTES
The Redbone Woman’s Club had
a very successful play, ‘‘Clubbing A
Husband,” at Ramah last Monday
night, the play being entertaining
from start to finish. The actresses,
claiming themselves nothing but
amateurs, are to be congratulated be
cause of the fact that they have been
invited to carry the play to other
places.
Despite the unsettled weather the
srate receipts amounted to $30.85 and
they will present the play at John
stonville school house Tuesday night
of this week.
The Club entertained the men at
Fredonia last Tuesday afternoon at
a singing, and serving as refresh
ments all the cake and ice cream that
they could possibly eat.
After so much clubbing the women
of our community are wonderful
creatures after all.
The Prospect Woman’s Missionary
Society, with Mrs. W. M. Sappington
as president, met with Mrs. T. G.
Dumas Monday afternoon.
Ramah held her annual meeting
last week, beginning Wednesday and
closing Sunday, with three applica
tions for baptism and membership.
Elder Barwick of Cordele assisted
Elder Whatley in the meeting and
highly pleased his congregations with
his preaching. Sunday afternoon
was devoted entirely to singing, with
good leaders present.
Rev. Julian Baggarly will preach
at Ramah next Sunday afternoon at
2:30 o’clock.
Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Sappington
and children of Cochran are visiting
here this week. •
Mrs. H. J. Moye and baby are vis
iting homefolks at Winterville.
Two weeks ago at night one bam
was burned down and another was
set fire to on the farm of Mrs. J. E.
Wilson, and after much investigation
Eb Bankston, a negro, was arrested
for the offense. The buildings were
covered by insurance. Mr. Evans,
living on the farm, awoke just in
time to extinguish the flames of the
Second barn. It is the duty of every
man in the community to assist Mrs.
Wilson in convicting the guilty party
at the next term of the Superior
court as it will be protection to their
personal property.
The many friends here of Dr. Far
ris Wilson of Griffin are pleased to
know that he is fast recovering from
his operation for appendicitis.
Miss Lillie Baggarly of Griffin was
in our midst Sunday afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Boyd of
Amarilla, Texas, are the guests of
Mrs. Boyd and Mr. and Mrs. T. G.
Dumas.
Mr. C. E. Sappington will leave
the latter part of the week for Dallas,
Texas, after spending his vacation
with homefolks.
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Sykes announce
the birth of a fine boy.
Crops are showing some improve
ment and the boll weevil is getting
to be noticeable. There will be an
unusual large pea crop this year, and
some pepper, and regardless of cot
ton there will be plenty picking to do.
We regret to hear of the resigna
tion of Mr. Drexel, our vocational
agent, as he has been of great ser
vice to the farmers.
Miss Nettie C. Stallings is visiting
relatives in outh Carolina.
The Fourth of July passed off very

Everybody always thinks
of us in connection with
Griffon Clothes. That’s not
the only reason you should
come around to see us.
We have some pleasant
things to show in the way
of smart shirts and racy
neckties.
Fashioned for us by makers
quite as efficient as those
who model our Griffon
Clothes. And that’s quite
a compliment.
