EDITORIAL NOTES.
“No man liveth unto himself and
■no man dieth unto himself.’’ A man
may think he can live apart from
anyone else and hot be dependent on
anyone for anything but it is not
true. If he lives and breathes he
breathes the air which partakes of
the nature of the things around him.
If the air is filled with the germs of
tuberculosis, diptheria or other con
tageous diseases the man himself is
just as likely to be afflicted as any
other person, or his children may be
afflicted as a result. The man may
say he is not concerned in health
crusades and that he will not give a
cent to prevent disease or to alleviate
those who may be afflicted and at
that very moment may be taking into
his system the death-dealing thing
that may cause his death and the
affliction of members of his family.
There may be those who say they will
not buy any Christmas Seals, the
money from which will help to fight
the great White Plague, Tubercu
losis, but that very decision may be
sounding their own doom. If one is
not at all interested in the welfare
of others then from a lower motive
of personal and family interest he
could well afford to have some part
in the noble work. Buy Christmas
Seals to use on all your mail during
the holidays and thus aid the great
cause.
Vengeance belongeth unto the
Lord and He has his own way of do
ing things, of which man may know
little or nothing, but it does some
times look as if punishment is meted
out to men here for their evil or sel
fishness. A story is told of a wealthy
man who refused to assist in the sup
port of the church in the town where
he lived, preferring to go his own
way and thinking perhaps that he
could get along without the church
or its influence. But as a result of
his a t the community suffered and
the time came when his own daughter
ran away with a disreuptable and no
account man and his own son was a
disgrace to his family, all more or
less the result of the act of the
wealthy man, who thought more of

his money than of the church or be
cause of other reasons which were
not any more justifiable. Like in
stances could be multiplied indefi
nitely. A man may think he can get
along without the influence of the
church, the educational institutions
and the other noble causes and ef
forts that help humanity and civiliza
tion hut the time will certainly come
when he will find he is woefully mis
taken. This Christmas season is a
good time to see the needs and woes
of others and to aid in helping them.
There are people in Barnesville
and Lamar county who are in actual
want and need clothing and food,
probably numbers of little children
who are without sufficient things that
will satisfy their hunger and keep
their little bodies even comfortable,
to say nothing of the • countless
things which many other children
will have at Christmas to play with
and throw away within a day and
the luxuries which they would be
better off without. These children
need not be deprived of a happy time
but let not the poor and the needy
be entirely overlooked. Look around
you now and find where you can
bring some joy and comfort to some
body outside of your own family or
friends by doing something for them.

Farmers should not if they could
and they could not if they would go
back to the old way of farming, that
is by depending entirely on cotton.
By all means, try to make some cot
ton but plant other things also, so
that if cotton fails you will make
something else and if other things
fail maybe you will'make some cot
ton. There ought to be five hundred
pure hied cows in Lamar county,
whose owners were working in co
operation with each other in depos
ing of their cream, milk, butter or
other cattle products. The same
plan should be in operation in grow
ing hogs, chickens and in fact every
other product of the farm. The
portunity is here and should be taken
advantage of by our people. Every
body should be willing to join h inds
and stand together, farmer, mer
chant, banker, professional man and
citizen generally. By proper meth
ods of farming and doing business,
all our citizens working intelligently
and in sympathy with each other La
mar county can be one of the most
prosperous counties in the state or
south. It can not be done in one
year’but it can be clone and it should
be done. Why not?

Reports indicate that President
Wilson is rapidly regaining his
strength and the opinion prevails
among those familiar with his condi
tion that he may be able at some
early day to participate actively in
political affairs again. Mr. Wilson’s
mind has apparently never been af
fected by his illness, judging by the
comments he has made from time to
time on public matters. It would be
a source of great gratification to the
people of the country, a vast majori
ty of them, we believe, to see Mr.
W’ilson again able to actively ffght
for the noble things for which he
came so nearly giving his life. He
exerts a mightly influence in this
country.
There are two sides to nearly all
questions but we do not believe Gov
ernor Hardwick will get anything
like a majority of the people of Geor
gia to agree with him in the state
ment that the present prohibition law
is too stringent or that it cannot be
as successfully enforced as numerous
other laws on the statute books of
the state. The present prohibition
laws are not observed and enforced
as they should be but they have cut
down immensely the manufacture,
sale and use of whisky, which is the
one thing sought by these laws and
wonderful good has been accom
plished by their enactment. They
are on the statute books to stay..

dynamite, breaking it up. That’s
when you feel that awful nausea and
cramping.
