Georgia could save millions every year by raising her own mules and meat. The most enchanting music in this section just now is the hum of the cotton gin. The Montgomery county farm er with a big field of pindars and a good herd of swine does not; need a ranch in Mexico. That old song, “When the frost is on the Pumpkin,” is not. popu-| lar here now. The rythmic slo gan, “Pm Gwine Down to Git Another Bale,” has taken itsj place. We are under obligations to ■ lion. John C. Hart, state taxl commissioner, for a copy of his recent speech at Greensboro and a copy of the new tax equaliza tion law. The number of tragedies re cently occurring in Jenkins coun ty is no criterion by which to judge its people, for they will average as well as any people in the state. The safest plan to get money > out of cotton next year is to sow j a big crop of oats next month and put the cotton money in your 1 pocket that would otherwise have to go to pay for feed. The progressive Montgomery county farmer should send some thing to the Twelfth District Fair at Dublin, if nothing more than a big yarn potato, as a to ken of good will and co-operation. The Georgia Weekly Press As sociation will meet at Commerce next summer. It might be a good idea for some one to let those Commerce people know how hungry newspaper folks art' ( along about July. _ The bandit war in Mexico con-! tinues, and outrages continue j to multiply. Residents then' from the United States have had; fair warning, and will have no: excuse when the real and final clash comes if they choose to re main. Another instance of how sadly fleeting is the glory of this world is seen in the passing of “Big Tim” Sullivan, whose body lay thirteen days in a local morgue in New York, where he rose to fame and fortune, before being identified. The Atlanta Journal has a timely editorial on the “treasures of Georgia clay,” in which it is shown that Georgia kaolin is' being shipped to Ohio to l>e man ufactured into the host grades of china. Georgia dirt is all right whether you manufacture it or plant it in profitable crops. An interesting sketch in Sun day's Atlanta Constitution gives story of Col. Z. D, Harrison’s fifty years of service as clerk of the state supreme court. But it might have been safer for Col. Harrison to have waited longer to let the public have the story, for some fellow will begin at once to figure on his job. Thos. A. Eddison has boon or dered by his physician never to take another vacation, as the rest is more tiresome to him than his usual work of twenty hours a day. We are not favor ed with that physician's name, but he would not make a populai doctor here, for some people in this county have made life one continuous resting spell. i v TfYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY• ► Gleanings From 3 t Wisdom’s Field. 3 •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Fitzgerald Press: —There is plenty of room in Georgia for the settler who wants a good home and is willing to work and build up, hut it is a mighty poor State for the loafer and vagrant. Savannah Press:—Thaw must have been very much surprised to discover how little influence Pittsburg gold had in Dominion of Canada. Monroe Advertiser: —Even the calamity howlers have become [optimists and are talking about prosperous times in Georgia. Well they’re coming all right. From present indications Georgia is one of the most blessed states in the Union this fall. Longlive King Cotton and his right bower, Prince Corn! Atlanta Journal:—As a rule it takes less time to refrain from telling a man just what you think of him than it does to recover from the effects thereof. Adel News: —The Democratic tariff bill has passed and there will be no serious results to fol low, as the Republicans claim. Instead, the legislation effected in favor of the people will bring prosperity to the country. Perry Home Journal: —No busi ness man would discharge a i capable und faithful representa tive merely to give another man a job. This should apply to poli tics, except where the incumbent is not in sympathy with the ad ministration, Atlanta Constitution:—Now that the tariff is settled, some people will expect it to pay the butcher and the baker, set the table, ring the dinner bell and j say grace. Macon Telegraph: —Many Americans are staying in Mexi co, which demonstrates the fact that we hate to leave a place where a scrap is on. Darien Cazette:—Judge John C. Hart, state tax commissioner, is right on the job all right. He i expects to spend much of his i time for the next few months go ing about the state, talking with and to the people and sizing up conditions. The tax digests are going to show up a big increase the coming season. Pembroke Enterprise;—Just leave the capital moving proposi tion up to the young people of Atlanta and it will stay right where it is. The police there have been instructed not to dis turb any couple that might be found kissing on the capital steps. Valdosta Times:—Col. Bryan says that a Progressive is a man who is ashamed to be a Repub lican and lacks the courage to become a Democrat. The first citizen of Oyster Bay ought to let loose a shower of adjectives and pronouns in response to this wild thrust. Montezuma Georgian: —ln the meantime don’t forget the plans you laid for planting that patch of alfalfa, and the acreage of fall itats you had planned to sow. Reduce the cotton acreage next year. It’s the way to keep the price up. Waycross Herald:—We have been told that if Mr. Underwo*xi runs for the senate, that the other members of the delegation will form themselves into a “fly ing squadron” and stump the state for him against Mr. Hob son. We hope Mr. Underwood will run. just to see if they will i do it. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, SEPT. IS, 1913 Pennies Worth a Dollar. It may be just as well to men tion here that when I paid SBO to ride the 17 miles from Savanilla to Barranquilla, in Colombia, I was not guilty of such reckless extravagance as may at first glance appear; also, that when the agent at the latter place charged me S4O for riding back the same way and in the same car he merely suffered from an astonishing lapse of memory, forgetting for the moment that he needed the money. The fact is that the Colombian dollar, or peso, has depreciated until it is worth just exactly one cent in United States currency, and there being no room left for the centavo of old, it has vanish ed utterly from the reckoning of man. There are no silver coins whatever, and after a little bar gaining one is apt to accumulate an astonishing number of yel low bills—tens, twenties, fifties and hundreds. Then there steals insidiously over one the peculiar exaltation of the wealthy, and it causes not a single pang to pay $5 for a shine or to toss away $lO for a bottle of ginger pop. The Right Plan. A Virginia swine breeder writes: “I am so situated that I keep something growing in dif-' ferent lots for hogs to graze at ail times and let them gather a good portion of their feed this way, such as oats, rye, rape, clover, cowpeas and artichokes. I treat my hogs in such away they know their master’s voice and when I speak to them they give me a friendly grunt. They are so gentle and kind that I can make any hog I have step up on my platform scales and let me take his weight.” Good sugges tions there for all hog raisers.— The Progressive Farmer, Notice to Debtere and Creditors.
