EDITORIAL NOTES.
The election last week was very
encouraging to the democratic party
as democratic gains were recorded
everywhere throughout the country.
The majority in the house and sen
ate were materially reduced and
some are claiming that the house will
be organized by the democrats when
it meets next March. The results
are generally accepted as an endorse
ment of President Wilson’s adminis
tration and his plans for world
peace. Judging by the results of the
election the prospects for democratic
success in the presidential race of
1924 are very encouraging.
—o —
The News-Gazette does not want
to appear unnecessarily persistent in
its advocacy of a diversification plan
of farming for the furmers of La
mar coifnty and of this section, but
such a plan is so absolutely neces
sary and our concern for their wel
fare so intense that we find it hard
to refrain from continued discussion
of the question. We have said from
the beginning and repeatedly that no
farmer should abandon the effort to
raise some cotton, for we have never
doubted that cotton can be and
should be produced on every farm,
but at the same time other products
should be made. Along with' a
reasonable acreage in cotton, to be
planted and cultivated according to
directions for boll weevil conditions,
every farmer should grow for sale
some hogs, some chickens, perhaps a
few cows, a few acres in groundpeas,
if he has suitable soil, a few acres in
pepper, and of course, corn, oats and
wheat and probably other things,
such as peas, cane, potatoes, melons,
fruits, nuts, etc. There is money in
growing cotton, even under boll
weevil conditions when proper direc
tions are followed, but there is mon
ey in these other products when
grown as helpers. The negro as a
labore r may never again be as val
uable to the farms of this section as
he has been in the past but if this
new condition will populate our state
with white people who own and ope
rate their own small farms it will
mean anew and a far better era
than has ever before been known for
us. It will mean work for the peo
ple as a whole but it will bring such
prosperity and happiness as we have
never experienced in the past.
Very few people, if any, who may
be down frill stay down if they really
want to get up. There is always a
helping hand for those who want it
and show that they deserve it. You
may owe at the present time more
money than you can pay, and there
are many in that situation, but if
you have the ambition and are will
ing to pay the price in work and
economy you can make arrangements
which will assist you in winning out
sooner or later. Your success will
depend very largely on you, rather
than on the circumstances or condi
tions which at present surround you.
The Red Cross is a noble enter
prise and should certainly receive
the support of every citizen who is
in position to give it any sort of help,
at least to the extent of a member
ship fee, if no more. There are
many who should cheerfully do far
more than this. But whether you
can do more, be certain to add to the
membership by the donation of SI.OO.
AH the official returns from the
counties of the state in the election
last week had not reported Tuesday
of this week but it appears to be
definitely settled that Peach county
was defeated by a majority around
(>,OOO. It was one of the hardest
fights witnessed in Georgia in years.
The people of Fort Valley„are great
ly disappointed over the result and
have the sympathy of hosts of
friends. The result probably means
that there will be no more new coun
ties in Georgia.
—o —
Accidents with automobiles, which
often take life, continue to daily oc
cur. It should make people who
drive and ride in automobiles all the
more careful and cautious. There is
constant danger and too much care
can not be exercised.
The price of cotton has been
steadily advancing for some time
and there are many who think it will
bring as high as thirty cents within
the next month or two. It does not
appear now that the price will ever
again be below fifteen or twenty
cents, although nobody can tell as to
the future. However, the present
price shows the importance of grow
ing cotton on all our farms. It can
be made in this section, but under
different methods than those used in
the past. Every farmer in Lamar
county should determine now that
he is going to make some cotton, a
good yield on the acreage planted, in
1923. The acreage must be small to
the plow and other products must be
included in the farming operations.
Such a course will restore prosperity
to our county.

Sparta, son of Mrs, W. P. Holmes, of
this city, was in an automobile acci
dent Tuesday, in which he had a jaw
bone broken, as a result of which he
was hurried to a hospital in Atlanta.

not a serious injury und that Mr.
Holmes will soon recover from the
results of the accident.

morial Home near Griffin will be held
on the first of next January. One
representative from every Odd Fel

HOW
TO
SAVE
I
-man who buys
one suit of clothes
and sets about to
wear it out, is ex
travagant.
But the man who buys two
suits, for constant use, is wise.
He knows that a weekly press
ing will mean a treble length
of life for both suits; he knows
that he will always appear well
groomed.
And being wise enough for all
these things,he likewise knows
that GRIFFON CLOTHES are
the kind he will want to ask
for in the first place.

SHIPPED LOT OF PEPPER
Mr. H. A. Cliett, County Agent,
has been quite busy for a week as
sisting- the pepper growers of Lamar
in sellin gand shipping their piemento
pepper, the total car loads probably
running to twelve or fifteen. One
or tW|O more cars will be shipped this
week when shipments must stop un
less further orders are received, Mr.
Cliett having received notice this
week from the people who have been
buying it that no more would be
taken until further notice.
The shipments which have been
made have been a big help, although
the price is less than that at which
it was contracted to be grown. The
yield has been fine and if a market
can be had the ,pepper industry will
become a very important and profit
able one for Lamar county as it has
been demonstrated that it can be
grown very successfully by our farm
ers.
