SEPTEMBER 21, 1922.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
How much better off do you be
come by “tearing your shirt” in a
political campaign?
There is evidently a gradual read
justment taking place, which will
improve the financial conditions, but
■we are not “out of the woods” yet
by a good deal. Stick to your job
and you will almost certainly win.
The old way of farming with a
of negroes and confining the
farming operations to cotton grow
ing is over and it is imperative that
anew system should be adopted.
Negroes can not be handled now as
they once were, and if they could be
it would not pay to farm in the old
way. The new situation must be
faced and adjustments made in ac
cordance therewith.
What Georgia and the south need
are small farms owned and worked
by white people, growing as far as
possible the things they need to live
upon with a reasonable surplus of
the things other folks need and do
not grow, which may be sold at a
good profit to the growers. This
ought to be the richest country in
the world filled with the most inde
pendent'and happy citizens that in
habit the globe.
—o —
We can not believe that it was
Governor Hardwick’s administration
as governor that defeated him for
the usual second term. It appears
to us that he was giving the state a
mfe and very creditable administra
tion. He was doing the best he
could, under many difficulties, and he
-was carefully and conscientiously
looking after the state’s interests.
It was mistakes other than in his mi
ministration that brought about the
opposition which defeated him.
These mistakes could be enumerated
but it would be useless to name them.
They were such as to array a large
number of different classes and or-
ganizations against him and as a rq
sult he went down in the most over
whelming defeat.
Hon. Clifford M. Walker, nomi
nated for governor last week, is one
of the cleanest and noblest of men.
Personally he is very lovable. He is
a perfect gentleman, a Christian gen
tleman, whose private and public life
is above reproach. No one can come
to know Cliff Walker well without
admiring him, if not really loving
him. Georgia has had numerous
good men in the governor’s chair but
none of them can eXeel Mr. Walker.
He is worthy the honor of being gov
ernor of the great state of Georgia,
and notwithstanding the many diffi
culties which will confront him in
this office the people’s interest will
be safe in his hands. Georgia hon
ored herself when she selected him
for Governor.
The railroad strikes are all about to
.be settled and thousands of the
workmen who have been out of work
and idle are returning to their jobs.
Who has been benefitted by the
strikes Business has been largely
demoralized, the strikers and their
families have sustained great finan
cial loss and have suffered depriva
tions and there has been much dis
order and violation of law. There
ought to be some other way to ad
just these differences. The govern
ment ought to devise some plan
which would be fair and which could
be enforced that would make such
strikes impossible in the future.-
—o —
Numerous farmers who have ex
perimented in growing cotton this
year now assert that it can be suc
cessfully and profitably grown in
spite of the boll weevil if the govern
ment instructions are followed. This
means that it must be an early va
riety, it must be planted and culti
vated in the way that has been found
the best, that poison must be used
and other things done that have been
tested and found good. No farmer
ought to quit trying to raise some
cotton, but no farmer should fail in
trying to grow other products along
with it. It will no longer do to de
pend upon cotton ns the money crop.
Have other things also.
One of the leading papers of Geor-1
gia, commenting on the results of I
the election last week, had. the fol- j
lowing; comment to make, which is
well worth serious consideration of
ail the citizens: "Any man who
holds a high office in these times is
not a person to he envied. The du
ties of public servant have become
so onerous and enormous that it up
pears , that no one if he were wise
enough would want a public office ex
cept for the privilege of hulking sac-
rifices for the public good. And we
are not going to have the best kind
of government until the best men and
women consent to become public ser
vants at personal sacrifice, rather
than for the false motives of honor
and emolument. Democracy will be
a success if the wisest and the best
will give themselves as wholehearted
ly to public service as the selfish give
themselves to the promotion of their
personal fortunes.”
There have been several accounts
recently of the loss of money by rob
bery or fire where it had been kept
at home or in the pockets of the
owner. It is strange that anybody
would take such a chance with his
money and his life by keeping money
in the home or on the person when
there are people always on the look-
out to murder and rob for money.
Place your money in your bank,
where it will be safe and yet where
you can use it whenever ydu have
need of it.
Wherever the cow has been given
a fair trial for the proper length of
time she has demonstrated her worth
and value in the industrial life of
the community. Her history shows
her to be a money maker and a build
er of the soil, from which nearly all
life is after all sustained. When
pasturage, which may be abundant in
middle Georgia, and other necessary
provisions for the cow are afforded
her the cow would make our people
and our section rich if she is given
the place she deserves in our farm
ing and industrial life. The same
thing is true, in a measure, of hogs,
poultry and products, to which our
people must turn their attention if
our section is developed as it should
be.
The management of the Lamar
County Fair has arranged a great
program for Fair week. l?very day
there will be things worth seeing.
The exhibits will be highly creditable
and they should be an inspiration
that will help build Lamar county
along the lines that will mean most
for the county. There will also be
plenty of amusement for everybody.
Particularly interesting is the pro
gram arranged for Lamar County
Day, Tuesday, October 10th; whjen
it is earnestly hoped every family ft
the county will be well represented.
Plan now to be present that day to
meet the people from every other
community in the county and get ac-
quainted with them. We ought to
know each other and get'each other's
view points about life and affairs of
mutual interest. The Fair ought to
be a great success from point of at
tendance and every citizen is- invited
by the Fair management to be pres
ent and lend every possible assistance
to make it the success it ought to be.
Talk it up from now until it opens
and closes. October 10th- 14th.

For the protection of flies bald men
should place “Don’t Park Here”
signs on their domes.
Just because you have a puncture
in a town is no reason to think it is
a tacky place.
Uncle Luke sez: “A postman
frum th’ North wuz visitin’ in Punk
ville th’ other day with his unerform
on, an’ some body tuk a shot at ’im (
thinkin’ thet he wuz a Federal spy.” j
“Have you seen Della?”
“Della who?”
“Deleware?”
—o — *
“Heard that the old gentleman that
ran the general store in Masonville
was arrested the other day.”
“He was? What for?”
“Murder. He sold a cotton shirt
to a stranger and the boll weevils
tickled him to death.”
“The Unspeakable Turk” is being
mentioned right often at present.
—o—
The strike situation is not (an)
a-cute one at all.
Heat is generated by friction. The
friction between the wage earners
and the employees should keep the
whole nation w r arm this winter.
—o —
All that shines is not gold. Take
for instance some noses we have
seen. ,
No Substitute Offered.
Say what you will about druggists
offering something “just as good” be
cause it pays a better profit, the fact
still stands that ninety nine out of a
hundred druggists recommend Cham
berlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Reme
dy, when the best medicine for diar
rhoea is asked for, and do so because
they know from what their custo
mers say of it .that is can be de
pended upon.

Taking Quality out

IT isn’t so long ago
that the buying of
clothes was mostly a
matter of matching
wits.
What you got depend
ed on what you knew
about clothes.
Today a man simply
walks in and selects a
Griffon Suit on a basis
of what pleases him in
• style and fabric. He
doesn’t worry about
wear; he is not con
cerned about it because
he knows that the
Griffon label will take
care of that for him.

Put your clothes buy
