Mount Vernon. 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.

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.—
