EDITORIAL NOTES.
Tomorrow is the first day of Sep
tember. How time is passing.
Get ready to exhibit at and attend
the Lamar County Fair in October.
It should be a fine show and an in
teresting event.
The schools and colleges of Geor
gia will be opening in a few days.
Give the children and young people
every possible opportunity to obtain
an education that will help them to
be better citizens and more success
ful in their life work.
Lamar county has made splendid
progress this year. Its citizens have
had practical demonstration of the
profit to be gained by cooperation in
growing and marketing their pro
ducts. If followed up properly this
will mean rapid advancement in the
yeprs to come.
The State primary will soon be
here and the predictions of the va
rious campaign managers will be
tested out. People have learned to
pay little attention to what claims
for various candidates are rrlade be
fore the election. In the present
campaign for state officials the peo
ple generally appear very indifferent.
Even the race for governor has not
aroused much interest. Governor
Hardwick has evidently become great
ly alarmed, for, in spite of the state
ment some time ago that he would
not leave his office to campaign, he
has practically deserted his office and
is making just as many speeches as
he can. There have been many
changes in the line up over the race
two years ago, and we do not be
lieve anybody can give any assurance
of the result. There are many citi
zens who want to vote for Governor
Hardwick because of his apparently
sincere efforts to give the state a
helpful administration but who can
not do so because of his moral char
acter and conduct. On the other
hand, there are many good citizens,
while approving the high moral and
Christian character of Hon. Clifford
Walker, have no enthusiasm for him
in the present race. Both of them
have their faults and their good parts.
There will evidently be many citizens
who will vote very indifferently, if
they vote at all.
■ 1 Q ■ m
It seems to be generally agreed
that in nearly all sections where cot
ton is not depended upon as the main
money crop pepole nre in a better
financial condition than they are in
the cotton belt. This shows that cot
ton is not generally speaking a profit
able crop. Why can not everybody
accept this as a fact and change farm
operations accordingly. Continue to
try to grow some cotton but try other
products also. The whole country
needs hogs, chickens, corn, wheat,
oats, etc., and need them every day
in the year. Have more than one
article to which to look for help.
The officers of the Lamar County
Fair Association are planning a “La
mar County Day” for one day during
the October fair and it is hoped that
arrangements may be perfected for
making it a great success. We would
like to see every home in the county
represented at the fair that day by
one or more people, the more the
better. Would it not be a pleasur
able sight to see all the citizens of
the county, so far as possible, to
gether on an occasion like that? It
would help many to get acquainted
who do not know each other and it
would create a fellowship and an in
terest that would be helpful to the
county and its future welfare. If
you have a suggestion that you think
would be of profit to the officers of
the fair in planning the success of
the day or the fair as a whole give
it to them, as they will appreciate it.
If you are a citizen of Lamar county
you should join heartily in every
movement which promises to promote
the advancement of the county in
any way.
Every citizen should encourage in
every way possible the observance
and enforcement of law, for if the
law breaks down then neither prop
erty or life will be safe. No one has
to be a fanatic to favor law and or
der. Your rights will not often
work any hardship on anyone else’s
real rights. Help your county and
your country by standing up for the
law.
The Barnesville Advertising Club
deserves the hearty and enthusiastic
support of every business man of the
city. The Golden Rule News should
be liberally supported that its publi
cation may be continued every month,
for as it goes into the thousands of
homes throughout Lamar and adjoin
ing counties it will certainly prove
profitable to the merchants and to
the city generally. The advertising
■club has done a fine work this year
in promoting enterprises of the
eounty, which are proving attractive
and : profitable. Let the
and other business men of the city
stand cordially by the advertising
club.
—o —
Would it not be a good idea for
the farmers to begin to plan now for
grain and forage crops for the com
ing fall and winter? Such crops are
necessary in the growing of hogs,
chickens and cattle, out of which
money can be made and for which
there will probably nearly always be
a ready market. Certainly hogs and
chickens appear to offer an inviting
field of labor for the farmers of La
mar county.

Judge R. C. Bell of Cairo, Grady
County, who was recently appointed
Judge of the Court of Appeals to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Judge Benjamin H. Hill, is a candi
date to succeed himself both for the
short term and the full term. His
name, therefore, will appear on the
ticket twice, unopposed for the short
term, which is for only about six
weeks between the November general
election and January Ist, to finish
out Judge Hill’s unexpired term. It
will appear with that of another can
didate for the full term to begin
January Ist.
He submits his candidacy for the
full term for your thoughful consid
eration.
His record as a lawyer, Solicitor-
General, and Superior Court Judge
will fully justify the people in re
tailing him for the full term. He.
asks to be given a trial.
Judge Bell is now in the prime of j
life; physically strong, willing to;
work, and accustomed to nothing else, j
He was born and reared on a farm !
in Webster County, and is 42 years of j
age. He worked out his own educa- j
tion by his own efforts, has made his
own way by sheer pluck and deter
mination, and is acquainted with the
hardships of life. >
He is endorsed by EVERY lawyer
of the Albany circuit, of which he
was judge when appointed to the
Court of Appeals, and by every bank
or banker in that circuit. He has
been highly commended by the press,
and has assurances of support from
every section of the State.
Vote for him for the full term.
He will be deeply grateful, and you
will never regret it. —Adv. 0-7

ONLY ONE GIN TO RUN
To Cotton Growers: On account
of the short cotton crop in this vicin
ity, we have decided that it will be
unprofitable for each of us to run
our gins during the coming season
and we have reached an agreement
which applies to this season, whereby
only the Crowder Gin on Greenwood
street will be operated. The Mat
thews Gin on Forsyth street will not
be run at all this season.

MUSIC AS MIND TRAINER
The Bamesville Music Club re
quests the News-Gazette to publish
the article found below:
Ex-President Eliot of Harvard
says that “Music, rightly taught, is
the best mind trainer on the list.”
To prove that music is a fine mind
trainer, T. P. Giddings of Minneapo
lis, in an article on “Instrumental
Music in Schools,” relates that Prof.
Henneman of St. Louis has received
a letter from an old friend in Eng
land who is at the head of the music
department of Magdalen College,
Oxford University. He says:
“All the music of Oxford Universi
ty is taught in this college, which is
very old and wealthy, and many
prizes and scholarships are offered to
its students. Of these a few are in
music, but most in other branches.
Ten per cent of the students of Mag
dalen College take music. Ninety
per cent do not. The ten per cent
taking music also take 75 per cent
of all those prizes and scholarships;
in all departments, mind you. The
90 per cent who do not take music
are contented with, or at least have
to put up with, the remaining 25 per
cent of the prizes and scholarships.
This rather amazing record has been
the average for the last thirty years.”
