B. H. HARDY, Editor
Subscription, $1.50 Year
BARNESVILLE. GEORGIA
JULY 20, 1922.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Nearly all the editors of the weekly
papers of Georgia are in Quitman this
wetk attending the annual meeting
of the Georgia Press Association and
feasting on the famous Brooks coun
ty ham, chicken and other good
things. From Quitman the editors
will go to Brunswick and take what
they call their annual dip in the
ocean. It will doubtless be a great
wetk for them.

We have been urging the people of
Lamar county to go into the peach
industry. It is evidently profitable,
if properly handled. The statement
is made that Mr. A. I). Williams, the
big peach grower of Yatesville, will
receive $72,000.00 for his crop this
year. Mr. A. O. Murphey of Barnes
ville will receive between $15,000.00
and $25,000.00, depending on how
his crop turns out for this year’s
yield from his trees, and reports from
other growers in middle Georgia are
very gratifying. If these men can do
so well in growing peaches why may
not others do so? Of course, some
years the crop will be a failure and it
takes work and money to grow, gath
er and market the crop, but that is
also true of anything else. The
peach industry for this county and
section should be developed.
Diversification is more important
for this section than it has ever been,
regardless of whether the boll weevil
may be controlled. Diversification
and co-operation go hand in hand if
success is to be attained. The peo
ple of Lamar county can become
highly prosperous in growing chick
ens and hogs, not to mention other
products, if they will cooperate in
growing and marketing them. But
without this cooperation it can not
prove profitable, for not until they
can be sold and shipped in car lots
will these industries amount to much
as a source of income.
Ore great advantage in growing
peaches, hogs and chickens is that
these industries provide employment
for white people, as men and women
and young people may engage in
them with pleasure and profit. It
looks as if the dny when negro labor
may be secured and depended on is
very largely gone, and it may bo for
the good of our state. If it is, white
people must adjust themselves to the
new conditions. At any rate, negro
labor will never again be as plentiful
and reliable ns it has been in the
past.

The community singing being con
ducted by the Barnesville Music and
Literary Club at the club house every
Sunday afternoon from 5 to 6 o’clock
is more than a worthwhile movement.
It is very enjoyable and will certainly
be productive of good. How better
may the people of the community
spend an hour Sunday afternoon than
by joining in such a service?. The
club has been exceedingly fortunate
in inducing Mr. John G. Bush of Gog
gansville to lead the music for them.
He is an exceptionally fine leader and
it is a pleasure to the singers to as
sist him in these enjoyable and help
ful services of song.
.... o
The agricultural committees of the
House of Representatives, after a
thorough investigation, have heartily
approved the administration of Hon.
J. J. Brown as Commissioner of
Agriculture, which affords much
pleasure to his thousands of friends
and supporters throughout the state.
The fight on him is almost entirely
political and not for any failure of
hie administration. Mr. Brown is a
farmer himself and a real friend of
the farmers and we do not believe
the people will turn him out of office
to put a lawyer in charge of it, not
withstanding Governor Hardwick and
his office force appear to be working
strenuously to this end. Mr. Brown
deserves overwhelming re-election.
The race for governor is growing
in interest every day. Governor
Hardwick, in spite of the fact that he
recently stated he would leave his
race with the people without cam
paigning, has a campaign committee
of about one hundred and he himself
is expecting to make speeches in dif
ferent points in the state. Hon.
Clifford Walker has been campaign
ing quietly and says he is certain to
win, claiming his principal strength
in north and south Georgia. He and
his closest friends say his race is in
much better shape than it was two
years ago, when he failed by only a
narrow margin, being defeated by
Governor Hardwick. There is no
question that Governor has
made many new friends by his admin
istration, but it is claimed he has ?ost
many and the statement is made tlmt

Mr. Walker’s campaign now is largely
in the hands of men. who managed
Governor Hardwick’s campaign two
years ago. It is also expected that
Sepator Watson, to whom the gov
ernor owes his election, is going to
light him this year and openly advo
cate Walker’s election. Such is
politics. The situation can change
several times between now and Sep
tember 13th.
Dr. M. L. Brittain, present. State
Superintendent of Education, was last
week elected president of the Geor
gia School of Technology to succeed
Dr. Matheson, resigned. Dr. Brittain
will make an ideal head for this great
institution. He is one of the finest
educators of the entire country and
as a Christian gentleman and citizen
he has the confidence and esteem of
all the people of Georgia. Dr. Brit
tain has done a magnificent work the
past twelve years as the head of the
department of education but he an
nounced some time ago that he would
not be a candidate for re-election.
He will assume his new duties at an
early day.
Reports regarding crops through
this section are somewhat more en
couraging. The pepper crop is prom
ising in different communities and it
begins to look as if a reasonable
yield of cotton will be produced on
many farms in spite of the boil
weevil. The people are economizing
and working hard and it is hoped con
ditions are going to gradually get
better.
If you have not yet done so. take
a few days off from your regular du
ties and have a vacation and some
recreation. It will do you good in
many ways.

In the midst of the cries of hard
times and trouble, now and then we
run upon some good things.
On Sunday, July 16th, the writer
bad the pleasure of taking dinner
with Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Daniel on
Greenwood street, in honor of Mr.
W. J. Weaver of Jackson, who is Mrs.
Daniel’s father. After spending
some time in a very pleasant social
way dinner was announced. It was
i a real dinner. There were several
of the children present. It was a
dinner that was much enjoyed.
There was everything that was good
to eat from fried chicken to bear
meat. This was the first bear meat
that the writer ever ate and it was
fine. There was cake of various
kinds, besides punch, cream, etc., wes
served.
May Brother Weaver live long and
enjoy many more birthday dinners.
And may their children live long to
honor their parents in this way, for

er that thy days may be long on the
earth. Eph. 6-2.

the hospitality shown to us.

TO DOUBLE TREAT HOGS
Dr. Coffman, State Veterinarian,
will be here Friday to double treat
hogs against cholera. Anyone desir
ing his services should communicate
at once with County Agent Cliett, giv
ing the number of head and approx
imate size. This service is free to
you except the actual cost of serum
and virus, which will amount to ap
proximately from fifty cents to one
dollar per head, depending upon the
size.
There is no charge for doctor’s
services.
I would be very glad if all pig
club members, as well as fanners
with pure bred breeding stock, would
have them treated. After they are
treated you will have to keep them
separated from other hogs for twen
ty-one days. This is the life treat
ment. Once over with you are
through. If interested phone me at
once. H. A. CLIETT,
