FROM CHATTANOOGA
Some road, I’ll tell you, from
Barnesviile to Chattanooga. I do
not know of 200 miles of road in any
direction equal to it. With the ex
ception of about one mile between
Adairsville and Calhoun it is almost
perfect. I promised my wife that I
would not exceed 30 to 35 miles per
hour, but when I reached those beau
tiful North Georgia roads winding in
and around the mountains, the old
Studebaker kept begging me to let her
go on, and I pulled the throttle wide'
open and told her to go to .t. I.
passed everything going the same I
way I was, and if any one wanted to .
pass me I didn’t know anything about I
it, for I left them so far behind that
I couldn’t hear their horns.
Very dry up here and the crops
above Cartersville are suffering for
water. I have seen hundreds of
' acres of corn burned up to where the
ear should be, and there is no pros-1
pect of any ears forming. The water
courses are very low—quite a con
trast to what I saw in same section
last January, when everything was
under water and people moving
around in bateaux.
Up as high as the Tennessee line
the farmers are complaining of the
boll weevil, and despite the dry
weather see very little prospect for
1 much cotton. If the farmers in
Tennessee can make a good living
: growing other things besides cotton,
why cannot our people in middle
Georgia do it? We down there can
grow anything they can up here, our
land is just as productive, and there
is no reason why we cannot abandon
cotton for a year or two. To say
the least of it we cannot be any
worse off than we are now, trying to

The rail and coal strike is begin
ning to have its effect upon the va
rious industries of Chattanooga. But
everyone is anticipating an early set
tlement of the strikes, and judging
from the press there is some reason
for it. It is a great pity that we can
| not accord and grant the other fel
i low the same rights and privileges as
;we claim for ourselves. A “live and
! let live” policy and spirit would pre
vent any organization or union which
would cause suffering to the general
public. But, in all these strikes and
industrial revolutions men and wo
men are moved by the same spirit as
characterizes those who are so ram
pant about prohibition. They want
the law enforced as to the other fel
low, but they reserve the privilege of
keeping a little for their own stom
ach’s sake. Members cf the labor
unions are not the only people who
labor, and they are no less amenable
to law- than the man or woman who
labors from 10 to 14 hours per day
on the farm. Any movement which
defies the government is wrong in
principle and practice, and is a re
flection upon our intelligence and
civilization. The government should
be supreme, and if our government
does not protect the interests of its
constituents in every walk of life, our
redress is thru the ballot and not thru
violence and such acts as will cause
suffering among our own neighbors
in other walks of human activity.
Freedom of the press and freedom of
speech are two of the foundation
rocks of our government and are
claimed by all labor unions, but some
of their members forget the golden
rule of life when they attempt to
muzzle the other fellow, and deny
: him the same rights and privileges as

When It’s “American” It’* Right
they claim for themselves. The man
does not live who can tie my hand or
muzzle my tongue as long as I am
an American law-abiding citizen, and
as far as I am concerned, the rale
shall work both ways.
But, when all is said and done as
to a return to peace, normalcy and
prosperity, we must in the end rely
upon some power beyond the press,
or the government. You can’t write
prosperity into existence, nor can you
legislate a return to rest and normal
conditions. Readjustment is coming
sooner or later, but in its own way
and thru channels least expected. So
let’s be patient, go to work and be
satisfied with what we have, for we
are getting more than we deserve.
