Ga.. Thursday Morning, June 26, 1913. In a few days the new county rallies will degenerate into ordi nary picnics. A news item says Macon is growing hotter. Just wait til! they move the legislature there. With all the advice given leg- 1 islators it really looks like the Itoys ought to do something good i and practical this time. Every now and then we are startled by examples of selfish ness. horn of ignorance, that con vince us that education is sorely needed in this country.- Vagrancy is an immediate fore runner of drunkenness, and fur nishes patronage for blind tigers which form one of the most ac tive promoters of crime in this country. The criminal is the enemy of (‘very honest tax payer, for the tax payer must hear the expense of the trials necessary to prohib it an increase of the criminal’s operat ions. With all their boiling insurrec tions and strife, the Mexicans have some practical sense. They have a law prohibiting the slaugh ter of calves as one step towards conserving their meat supply. The Valdosta Times truthfully remarks: “The greaU st army in Georgia is that composed of the Hoys’ Corn Club, and the battle which these hoys are waging is going to be worth more to the State.” The Montgomery county farm er who can take a modern farm implement and with a team do the work that formerly required the work of half a do, > n men is solving the labor pod min the right way. Boosting is all right and opti mism is good, hut some fellows who do their farming in tin shade are already doing their level best to keep down the price of farm products by magni fying the greatness of the grow ing crop. President Wilson seems in clined to keep Democratic con gressmen right down to business. Before they can turn loose the tariff job and spit in their hands he puts them onto the currency job. No telling what misclfiof the hoys might get into if allow ed a holiday. It is gratifying to note that Georgia daily papers are joining tin' weekly press force jn de manding tax system reform, and advocating the raising more stock and hotter stock on our farms. No two subjects are of more im portanco tp our people at this time. Some time ago w e were rejoic ing in the fact that Montgomery county farmers had invested lib erally in harvesting machinery, more than a carload being set up at one time in front of our otliee. On the same sjvot a number of grain drills are being assembled. This is the kind of progress that w ill make independence for our farmers. Could the departed spirits of those who fell at Gettysburg at tend the great reunion of the former contending forces that will soon gather there under dy ing banners of peace, we feel as sured that they would not look upon the scene as a celebration of the battle of carnage and death, but rather as a great love feast of the survivors. ' ► (jUpanings From « t < W isdom’s Field. J t 1 * AAAAAAA A AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Atlanta Journal: In England it. is one suffragette after anoth er. Jesup Sentinel: Everysubscrib er to the county paper is doing something to upbuild his county. The local paper is the mirror through which the outside world I sees a community. To publish a good paper it is necessary to have every available subscriber. A' good paper increases the stand ing of the community in which it is published. Valdosta Times:—President! Wilson is going to read his cur rency message to congress in person. We like that in away. We like for the Republicans in that body to be constantly re minded that a Democrat is on deck. Hartwell Sun: The theory that a college education is worth I $25,000 dosen’t deter the recent graduate from touching dad for twenty-five cents now and then. Savannah Press:—Kansas City complains that somebody is pass ing counterfeit S2O gold pieces in that city. If you can’t tell the dilference what’s the use of com plaining? Adel News:—lt is to the credit of the news paper fraternity that not one of their number is in a Georgia prison. Almost every other profession and trade is rep resented in the prisons. Laurens Co. Herald: —Gov. Slaton has promised to stop the thriftless custom of our legisla ture in appropriating more money than is in the state treasury. If he does this one thing and re lieves the burden on the tax-pay ers his success is assured. Clinch Co. News: A revision l of the tax system of the state is what we need most. Each coun ty needs a board of tax equal izers. (Jreensboro Herald-Journal: — When the time comes that the farmers can sell their produce at a high price and buy their other things cheap, the millineum will have arrived. Americas Times-Recorder:— How astonishing is the statement from the national Department of Agriculture to the etfect that the price of meat has increased dur ing the past year. Monroe Advertiser:—N ow comes a Terrell county legislator, out of fame, who, instead of giv ing thought to the serious prob lems confronting the legislature, instead of considering the re vision of Georgia’s tax system, the more prompt payment of the i teacher, etc., is to introduce a bill allowing the killing of haz ards a worthy (?) subject for the legislative mind. Hawkinsv ille Dispatch-News: From eight acres planted in alfalfa Mr. J. Powers Cooper, of Perry, obtained from the tirst cutting 1.000 pounds of cured hay. All who have tried it have t\ un J that alfalfa can be success fully grown in this section and it is said to be the best forage crop that can be planted. Pelham Journal:—Our taxing system is antiquated and ineffi cient but there is grave dangei it' careless or selfish consideration be given any proposed measure. If a newly adopted measure con tains provisions for boards of as sessors or such like, it is to be hoped that they will be free from political entanglements. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1913 Last One of Confederate Congress Summoned. Birmingham, Ala., June 21. Judge Henry C. Jones, ninety four years old, the last surviving member of the Confederate con gress, died today at 1 o’clock this morning at the residence of his son in Florence, Ala. He is sur vived by tw r o sons, both profes sional men, and four daughters. Os Two Evils. The little boy in this story from Touche a Tout was evident ly a firm believer in the old adage, “Os two evils choose the less.” Turning a corner at full speed, he collided with the min ister. “Where are you running to, my little man?” asked th • minis ter, when he had regained his breath. “Home!” panted the boy. ' “Ma’s going to spank me.” “What!” gasped the astonish ed minister. “Are you eager to have your mother spank you that you run home so fast?” “No,” shouted the hoy over his shoulder as he resumed his homeward flight, “hut if I don’t | get there before pa, he’ll do it!” Butts Oats Crop Best. The Butts County Agricultural Club offered prizes for the larg est yield in oats per acre. The| result is that the oat crop is onej of the largest and best ever rais- j jed in the county. Some farmers report a yield of 100 bushels per acre. Butts farmers have bid j adieu to the West for corn and oats: —Macon Telegraph. Founded By Religious Men. No student of the philosophy of history will for a moment deny that the discovery and coloniza tion of North America was di rected by the guiding hand of Providence, neither will anyone dispute that the Declaration of Independence and the formation of our government were the ac tions of men who stood in con scious fear of the Lord. Each of the original 13 colonies was es tablished on distinctive and dom ! inant religious principles. Each of them sought to know the will of God, and to doit. In all their discussion of the problems of freedom and in their reasons for independence our fathers made their appeal to Go! and his truth was written in their hearts. They looked to him as their leader and defender. When liberty came they recognized God as its au thor-giver. so that the emblem of our freedom was a God-given ; banner to those who feared him | and did all in their power to make his will supreme in the earth.— Publishers’ Auxilliary.
