Mount Vernon. Ga.. Thursday Morning, Nov. 28, 1912.
Don’t forget that it is blessings
past that you are expected to be
thankful for today.
Dig crops or poor crops, hot or
cold, wet or dry, the circus comes
along and rakes in the cash.
Every farmer who has sown
largely of oats is in a fairway to
be ready for Thanksgiving in
1913.
It could scarcely be expected
of Bob White to join in this
Thanksgiving day except in a
negative kind of way.
If you are a solid Democrat it
is up to you to give thanks to
day, for you know not the day
nor the hour when the other fel
low will lick clean the platter on
the pie counter.
In this day of keen competition
the man who knows how to spe
cialize will come out on top. The
man who does not rise above the
average is not even heard of in
the great shuffle.
The suggestion of the Eastman
Times-Journal that W. G. Brant
ley should go to the U. S. Sen
ate, in the event that Senator
Bacon accepts a seat in Wilson’s
cabinet, is a good one, and we
second the motion.
It has been demonstrated over
and over again this season that
there is more money in potatoes,
corn, oats and hay than in cotton.
But 999 jackscrews would not he
sufficient to pull the all-cotton
farmer off his cotton infatuation.
Our esteemed contemporary,
the Lyons Progress, causes vis
ions of mountains of potato pone
to arise in our hungry eyes by its
declaration as to a thousand sur
plus barrels of syrup and thou
sands of bushels of yams without
a market.
The scheme of the Atlanta
Journal to carry 125 Georgia
school and college boys to see
President Wilson inaugurated is
one of the best recently suggest
ed. The impressions made upon
them would abide a life time.
We urge Montgomery county
boys to investigate the plan.
One striking example of the
great value of technical educa
tion, in the South especially, is
shown in the achievement of
Ralph Ragan, the Tech student
of Atlanta, who has invented a
motor that will reduce by one
half the cost of operating auto
mobiles and all gasoline vehicles,
as far as gasoline and lubricating
oils figure.
We have an abiding faith in
the possibilities of South Georgia,
and it’s one of our strong points
to record the wonderful products
of her soil and climate, whether
in big turnips and potatoes or
great corn yields, but that Pierce ;
county sugar cane said to meas-!
ure fifteen feet in length will j
make us a little particular about!
what we say hereafter.
We did not announce last week
that the season for shooting!
quail had commenced the day
before, as the sound of discharged
shotguns all over the woods and
fields rendered it unnecessary.
We have long held the opinion,
though conservatively unex
pressed. that the Georgia idea of
game protection is a large sized
farce. The motive behind its
laws is far more conducive to;
vagrancy than to the protection
of the farmer’s crop from de-'
structive insects.

►
Savannah Press:—Out in Mis
souri they suggest canned coon
( to help out the cost of living.
But wouldn’t this smack the least
bit of cannibalism?
Blackshear Times:—Hon. Ran
dal Walker, our next Congress
man, no doubt will recommend
the right man for the postmaster
ship over in Waycross, in view of
the overwhelming majority he
received in the “General Elec
; tion?”
Monroe Advertiser: —Eggs in
New York are selling for 72 cents
per dozen and still some of the
Monroe county people are talking
of the high cost of living. They’re
richly blessed in comparison with
the people in some of the other
sections of the country.
Adel News:—With the eleva
tion of Woodrow Wilson to the
Presidency Georgia is coming in
to her own again after many
years. And his Georgia wife
will grace the White House as
few have done.
Pembroke Enterprise:— The
total membership of the Boys’
Corn Club of Georgia is about
10,000 and Governor Brown is
one of the “boys.”
Dawson News:—lt is the farm
er who is sowing plenty of oats
and wheat and will look after
the hog and hominy crop when
next year’s plans are made who
can shake his fist in the face of
the boll weevil and not bother
about what will be done to old
Dingley Bill.
Sandersville Georgian:—Wash
ington county contains a few
farmers who produce nearly ev
erything necessary for man and
beast on their farms. Everyone
in this class has a bank account,
which proves that it is the best
method of conducting the busi
ness of farming.
Covington News:—About the
only thing which has not nearly
doubled in price during the past
few years is the weekly newspa
per. It remains the same, but
the game is getting to be mighty
strenuous.
Americus Times-Recorder: —
Tom Watson has been indicted
for sending obscene matter
through the mails. If found
guilty all Watson will have to do
is to plead insanity. The state
at-large will back him up in the
plea.
Covington News:—Many of
our progressive farmers are al
ready making preparations to
sow a large amount of grain dur
ing this and next month. The
fact that the price of cotton is
advancing is not sufficient to de
tour them from their plans,
either.
Graymont Hustler: —Mr. Wil
son, both before and since the
i election has uttered assurances
; that no policy detrimental to
business will be adopted.
Perry Home Journal: —The
true friends of President Wilson,
if they think seriously, will not
embarass him by contentions
about the selection of cabinet of
ficers, and others.
Eastman Times-Journal:—ln
the event that Hon. A. O. Bacon,
senior United States senator
from Georgia, should accept a
position in Mr. Wilson’s cabinet,
no bigger, brainier or better man
■ could be secured to succeed him
in the Senate than Hon. W\ G.
