Thursday Morning, June 20, 1012. Savannah is already boasting that her new kiosk is turning out the proper kind of weather, and that bathers are flopping around in great glee in the surf at Tybee. Montgomery county needs a I get-together-club, and a little more advertising like the old county got last week by the daily I papers all over the state will open the eyes of her citizens on lhat line. Our Republican friends are viewing with strained eyes and bated breath this week the do ings at the convention in Chica go; and are somewhat in the at titude of the old farmer who was about to be thrown by his mule, and prayed thus; “Lord, make us thankful for what we are I about to receive.” For nine and a-half years we have plead with Montgomery: county people to study co-opera tion and unite in things that! make for the upbuilding of the I whole people. No people ever! did much in public improvements i who proceeded on any other line! than that of harmony and united! action. Prosperity, such as the most optimistic have never! dreamed of, awaits the people who pull together. In a few days the Georgia leg-, islature will be in session. If the j time of the body could lx; spent iu passing measures that would benefit the whole people, for in stance such measures as abolish ing the iniquitous tax system of the state and passing a law that would compel the burden of tax ation to be equalized, their meet ing would not be in vain. But hundreds of petty schemes will clog t In* wheels of legislation as usual. We can get along somehow with any kind of a president, provided we have an honest, high-toned and intelligent man at the head of atfairs in our own state. With all the lights before! us, we must say that in the per-! son of Hon. John M. Slaton j Georgia has the material for such j a leader. And his can lidacy for | the exalted place does not depend for success upon showing that other illustrious sons of the old state are unworthy or incapable. In the death of Dr. J. H. Mc- Arthur, Montgomer\ county loses a valuable citizen. The impress of such men upon their commu nities in real life is worth more than a thousand examples in theory. He accumulated a com fortable fortune in sight of the old house that sheltered his boy hood, and without a suspicion of resort to any questionable meth ods. His departure is a distinct loss to Montgomery county, and to the Bivwton Parker Institute, an institution his liberality and energy helped largely to make possible. We are no longer allowed a voice in the old Eleventh Con gressional District, but feel proud of the fact that the place so long and ably tilled by such Georgians as Henry G. Turner and William G. Brantley will be occupied by a brainy and worthy man, in view of the nomination and elec °f either of the two men spiring to the plaee. Judge T A T'ifker, a product of the grand oKi count >’ of Liberty, or J. Ttttti^ Walkl ' r of Valdosta, a typo H 'st and brainiest of South coming men, will represent the old Twelfth with credit to the section, the state and die South. VTTTTVVVTVVTVTTTTTVVTVTTV• ► M ► Gleanings From ◄ l Wisdom’s Field. 3 ► < •AAiAAAiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Savannah Press: —Georgia con tinues to lead in the construction of high-school buildings. In eight years over two and a half million have been spent by the people on new buildings, and Savannah is building her share of them. Commerce News:—This is a funny old world. The farmers who have corn to sell at #1.15 per bushel, thinks the price is too Mow, while the farmer who buys it, thinks it’s outrageously high. Waynesboro Banner: There is no practicable or good excuse for i lie prevailing high costof living. The trusts which buy and hoard up the necessities of life simply j take advantage of and rob the public. Fifty or even twenty live years ago Americans would not have stood for such a deal. Perry Journal: —Some of the democratic editors are attempting to put the democratic campaign in the same class with that be ll ween Taft and Roosevelt. De | crying Underwood doesn’t make Wilson any better. Lyons Progress: The Legisla ture will meet next week and it I looks now like we are not to have | any special legislation for Toombs county. Several special laws were recommended by the Grand Jury but it seems that no one wants to take up tin* matter. If there are to he any hills directly affecting the county they are at present being kept very quiet. Americus Times-Recorder: — We might as well got ready for j the expansion or business that is I coming in this city in the next | few years. Americus is at the ! beginning of the most prosperous land most progressive era it has ever had. Douglas Enterprise: If ever a man had a cinch on the governor ship, that man is Jack Slaton. There is no way to head off what looks now to be an everlasting landslide. Well the cinch is good | I both ways; it is good for Jack i land it is good for the state. Laurens County Herald: The weekly editor is between the devil and the deep blue sea on this parcels post business— whether to listen to his local mer chants and fight it. or make a try for the ad. This last appears to us in the nature of commercial sophistry. llawkinsville Dispatch-News:— The Republican National Conven tion will meet at Chicago June isth. and indications point to a lively session. Taft’s nomination at this time seems almost certain, though the Colonel still sticks to it that he will be the nominee. Nashville Herald: The Hoke Smith faction, thru Rube Arnold and Tom Hudson, tried to slip up on the blind side of Tom Watson but it seem that Tom hasn’t got a blind side. Gainesville News: —Here’s hop ing that Taft will boat the stuf fin' out of Teddy at Chicago next week. We believe the Demo crats are going to beat whoever the Republicans nominate, but if by any possibility a Republican should be elected, wo infinitely prefer Taft to Teddy. Moultrie Observer: Mr. Bryan predicts that there will be two Republican parties after the Chicago convention. The more the merrier. Why not make it three and give one to Taft, one to Teddy and one to LaFollette? Atlanta Journal: No doubt there are wives who drive their .jtii.fjSJUslnmds who would like to have l uch wives. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1912. A wise Providence has placed a limit on all things. The politi cal reprobate may lie and fatten ! upon his deceit and underhanded schemes for a season, but at last he stands forth in all his naked ness; and moral decency, won ders how, like Satan, he managed to keep up the game so long. Georgia Peach Crop. Just now all the forces of Georgia workers in the fields are concentrated in one mighty effort to cope with the studendous prob lem of handling Georgia’s peach crop. Hardly a nook or corner of the State can be found hut where a peach tree, loaded with splen did fruit, gleams from every side. Never before have laborers in the field ever received such wonderful pay as is being dealt out to them by the peach and melon growers this year. Truly there can be no cause for com plaint by those who work in the peach orchards, for whether they come late or early, work by day or by week, or down to hours and i minutes, they receive a stipend i that should prove most satisfac j tory. Negroes who ten years ago worked thirteen months in the year, making a cotton crop, for the enormous sum of some $75 per year, are now reveling in the delights of two or three months’ work at S(SO per month, something to eat and a place to sleep provided free of charge. They are in this way enabled to work a short time and lord it all over their less fortunate brothers in black who yet follow the old, worn-out path that leads to the cotton fields. But things are looking up in Georgia. In spite of the fact that work was started late, and much of the cotton is yet to be chopped, and some of the late corn to be planted, the cowpeas to lie put in, the first of the hay is ripening and the grain fields are beckoning to the farmers ear ly and late, and a thousand and one tasks are keeping us too busy to worry about what tomorrow | may bring forth. Summarizing j the situation in detail, it seems to us like Georgia will forge ahead again this fall and, with good prices for cotton and fairly good seasons from now on, we should be enabled to roll up a rec ord-breaking figure in the way of wealth production from the soil. Along with all these other bless ings in State, from mountain to | the seaboard, seems to be enjoy ing prosperity and health togeth er, and the outlook is bright all along the way. Rhea Hayne. In Home & Farm Like Poodle Dogs Better. Mrs. Sarah L. Roberts, a prominent Sunday school worker | of Atlanta, speaking of the work jof the Georgia Home Society, | said to its manager: “Baby talk, ” said Mrs. Rob erts, “I am grieved to say, is a foreign language to some women I—l should say creatures, who wear petticoats. God didn’t make that kind. They are like I the bugs and snakes and creep ing things that make life dis agreeable. I don’t know where they come from and, like the snakes and bugs and other creep ing things, I believe their influ ence Is prenicious, if not really dangerous. ” Mrs. Roberts, acting for the Georgia Home society, returned from Crawford ville Saturday, where she had taken an orphan child and given it to a new mother and father. In describ ing her trip to Mr. McCord, she scored roundly the modern Wo man who had become a stranger to the baby’s cry. "Those kind of women—and they exist in Atlanta, ” continued the letter, “want poodle dogs they can kiss and bathe. They want poodle dogs, want to play whist for prizes all day, drink wine and dance all night; but the idea of loving a baby to sleep sends them into nervous prostra tion. "What! Ijose their fine figures and peach bloom complexions; sit up at nights perhaps with a sick baby? No, indeed. “By the most abominable machinations of the devil these creatures who call themselves women shirk responsibility of motherhood. “In my work for this associa tion 1 have found it almost im possible even to gain an audience with one of these pampered darlings to try at least to enlist the aid of her squandered wealth to help find homes for the poor ilittle orphans.” GRAND AND PETIT JURORS Who Will Serve July Term Superior Court.
